In this paper, Sedum yongkangense is described as a new species based on morphological and molecular analyses, and its taxonomic relationships are discussed. Morphological analysis indicates S. yongkangense should be classified in the genus Sedum L....
The authors have completed the study of the genera Cervellaea Borovec & Meregalli, 2021, and Namaquania Borovec & Meregalli, 2021, two of the seven genera of the tribe Namaini Meregalli & Borovec, 2021. The type species of the two genera...
A new species of Solenopsis (Campanulaceae), S. gutermannii is described and illustrated. It is endemic to Kefalonia island, Greece, where it is very rare and localized in flat clay surfaces that are periodically submerged. This species is a very sma...
Based on several sources of evidence from morphology, the micromorphology of the abaxial leaf epidermis, and a phylogenetic analysis using complete chloroplast genome data, a new combination and two new synonyms are reported in the genus Indocalamus...
The Canthon indigaceus species group represents a Typical Neotropical distributional pattern with wide penetration into the Mexican Transition Zone. This group consists of three species: C. (C.) indigaceus LeConte; C. (C.) chiapas Robinson; and...
Within the Rubiaceae family, the genus Randia comprises approximately 90 species, with significant morphological diversity in growth forms, leaf shapes, and floral sexuality. In particular, Randia aculeata is a taxonomically challenging species distr...
Freshwater oligochaetes, belonging to the class Oligochaeta, are vital components of aquatic ecosystems globally, contributing significantly to nutrient cycling, sediment dynamics, and overall ecosystem function. Despite their ecological importance,...
Coloration patterns in polyclad flatworms of the Pseudocerotidae family are crucial for taxonomic identifications, often serving as key diagnostic character. In this study, we document two pseudocerotid species from the Mexican Pacific exhibiting rem...
Two new European species in Medetera (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) are described here. Medetera demirae sp. nov.—named after the Flemish minister for Justice and Enforcement, Environment, Energy and Tourism (2019–2024)—has been discover...
Lotus, with about 120 species, is the largest genus of Leguminosae–Loteae. The last global classification recognized 14 sections, of which 13 were then sampled in molecular phylogenetic analyses. The section remaining unsampled is Lotus sect. B...
Actinomycetes are known to produce a vast array of bioactive secondary metabolites with potential therapeutic applications, including antimicrobials, anticancer agents, and enzyme inhibitors. Among these, members of the genus Nonomuraea have received...
Torodorinae is the second largest subfamily of Lecithoceridae, comprising more than 600 species worldwide. In the Afrotropical Region, 116 species of the subfamily have been known, of which 90 species were described by the author and his co-authors s...
Krameropteris is an extinct fern genus found in mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber, assigned to the Dennstaedtiaceae, with only one previously described species, i.e., K. resinatus. This study describes a new species, K. calophyllum, also preserved in Myan...
“Welcome to the New Journal Taxonomy”, wrote Enric Sayas in his editorial in January 2021 [...]
The genus Hypoglyptus Gerstaecker, 1855 is herein revised for the first time. Based on adult morphological characters, five species are recognized as valid: Hypoglyptus conspersus (Leonhard, 1912) (Greece), H. elegans (Brullé, 1832) (Gree...
