from Caves in Southern China (Diplopoda: Polydesmida:

Pacidesmus currently encompasses seven species, all keyed and mapped,
including three new from caves in Guangxi Province, China: P. tiani n.
sp., P. bedosae n. sp. and P. armatus n. sp. All six congeners from
southern China have only been found in caves, all likely representing
troglobites, whereas the sole epigean species is known from a highmontane
forest in northern Thailand. Such a vast disjunction is certainly
due to undercollecting, also meaning a far more diverse fauna of
Pacidesmus to actually exist. KW: Diplopoda, Pacidesmus, new species,

3110.1. ABS: The complete larval development and the morphology of
the first juvenile stages of two freshwater-breeding crab species endemic
to Jamaica are described and illustrated in detail in the present paper. One
of these species, Sesarma windsor, lives in and near caves in the karst
regions of central western Jamaica, whereas the second species,
Metopaulias depressus, occurs sympatrically but with a wider range in
western and central Jamaica in water-filled leaf axils of bromeliads. Even
if these species are placed in separate genera, they are extant
representatives of the same adaptive radiation that resulted in at least ten
Jamaican endemic crab species thriving in different land-locked habitats.
Consequently, larval morphologies of the two species are very similar,
but conspicuously different from the developmental patterns in their
marine relatives. Both species display an abbreviated mode of
development, showing morphological reductions in some features and
pre-displacement in the expression of several others. Both species pass
through two non-feeding zoeal stages, after which S. windsor moults to a
facultatively lecithotrophic megalopa. In contrast, M. depressus directly
moults from the zoea II to a juvenile stage (also facultatively
lecithotrophic) that shows a mixture of juvenile and vestigial larval
characters, such as a partly folded pleon, but no longer larval traits such
as natatory pleopods. This represents the first record of larval
development with no megalopal stage for Sesarmidae. A closely related
species from mangroves in the Caribbean and northeastern South
America, Sesarma curacaoense, shows a reduction in larval development,
but with different morphological characteristics. We here discuss whether
this could be a shared ontogenetic character or the consequence of
convergent evolution. KW: Bromeliads, fresh water, larval development,

2010. Patterns of morphological and genetic variation in
the endemic Malagasy bat Miniopterus gleni (Chiroptera:
Miniopteridae), with the description of a new species, M.
griffithsi. Journal of Zoological Systematics and
Evolutionary Research 48(1, February):75-86. DOI:

Over the past decade, major advances have been made concerning the
systematics and species diversity of Malagasy bats, largely based on
specimens collected during inventories and associated morphological and
molecular genetic studies. Herein we describe a new species of endemic
bat from southern Madagascar, Miniopterus griffithsi sp. n., which is the
sister taxa to Miniopterus gleni, a taxon described in 1995 (holotype from
Sarodrano, just north of the Onilahy River in the southwest). Based on
current information, M. griffithsi is found in the sub-arid bioclimatic
zone, south of the Onilahy River, and M. gleni occurs in a variety of
different bioclimatic zones, north of the Onilahy River to the northern
portion of the island and on the near shore island of Ile Sainte Marie. The
realization that M. griffithsi was a separate entity was first based on
phylogeographic studies of the M. gleni complex. Comparisons using 397
bp of mitochondrial cytochrome b found a divergence of 1.2% within
animals occurring across much of Madagascar north of the Onilahy
River, 0.07% in those south of the Onilahy River, and 7.4% in
populations separated by this river. Subsequently, morphological
characters were identified that supported the specific separation of
populations occurring south (M. griffithsi) and north of the Onilahy River
(M. gleni), which include tragus shape, pelage coloration, and skull
proportions. KW: Miniopteridae, Miniopterus, Miniopterus gleni,
Miniopterus griffithsi sp. n. - Madagascar, morphological variation,
phylogeography. RÉS: Au cours de la dernière décennie, d'importants
progrès ont été accomplis en ce qui concerne la compréhension de la
systématique et de la diversité des espèces de chauves-souris malgaches,
en grande partie basée sur des spécimens collectés au cours des
inventaires ainsi que sur les études morphologiques et génétiques
moléculaires associées. Nous décrivons ici une nouvelle espèce de
chauve-souris du sud de Madagascar, Miniopterus griffithsi sp. n., qui est
la sœur de M. gleni, un taxon décrit en 1995 (holotype de Sarodrano, juste
au nord de la rivière Onilahy). Sur la base des informations actuelles, M.
griffithsi se trouve dans la zone bioclimatique sub-aride de l'île, au sud de
la rivière Onilahy, et M. gleni se produit dans une variété de zones
bioclimatiques, du nord de la rivière Onilahy jusqu'au nord de l'île et sur
l'Ile Sainte Marie. Les deux espèces semblent utiliser des grottes et des
abris sous roche comme gîtes diurnes. Le fait que M. griffithsi soit une
entité distincte est fondé sur des études phylogéographiques du complexe
M. gleni. Les comparaisons avec les 397 bp du mitochondrial cytochrome
b montre une divergence de 1,2% dans les animaux qui se produisent
dans la majeure partie de Madagascar au nord de la rivière Onilahy,
0,07% dans celles au sud de la rivière Onilahy et 7,4% dans les
populations séparées par cette rivière. Par la suite des caractères
morphologiques ont été identifiés, comprenant la forme du tragus, la
coloration du pelage et les proportions du crâne, soutenant ainsi la
séparation des populations qui se produisent au sud (M. griffithsi) et au
nord de la rivière Onilahy (M. gleni). La zone d'occupation connue pour
M. griffithsi est d'environ 740 km², mais ce n'est certainement pas
représentatif de la distribution de cette espèce.

TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: Very little is
known about the epigean niphargid autecology. The aim of this study was
to establish the life history traits of the endemic amphipod Niphargus
dalmatinus, which regularly inhabits springs, epigean streams and rivers
in Middle Dalmatia. Three replicate samples were collected once a month
with benthos net in the period from August 2004 to August 2005 at ten
study sites located in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Cetina
River and its tributaries. The highest population density of the species
was recorded on two study sites in hypocrenal zone, where the mean
water temperature reached 9.7°C with the narrow range of 7.3-12.5°C.
