In addition to previously well-defined species, is, for the first time recognised, by molecular study as a species related to . Analysis of publicly available sequences of barcoding regions suggested that is only associated with and no other species colonize this host tree.

Taxonomic revision of the Southeast Asian brook barb genus Smith, 1931 (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) with description of a new species from Vietnam.

Molecular data from samples encompassing 22 nominal species of indicate that the species-level diversity in the genus has been vastly overestimated, likely due to inadequate taxon and geographic sampling and reliance on morphological characters that vary intra-specifically. The latter includes discrete mouth morphologies related to alternate feeding strategies (ecomorphs) within populations. One new species is described, Hoàng, Phạm & Trần, , and 17 synonyms of six valid species names of , , , , , , and , are recognised.

New arthropod-Podostemaceae associations in Central and South America.

Podostemaceae are a unique family of aquatic angiosperms found in river rapids and waterfalls throughout southern Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Podostemaceae are understudied, and consequently, the arthropods associated with these plants are not well known. We sought to expand knowledge of arthropod-Podostemaceae associations to better understand the impact of these plants on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity.

An updated list of butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) of two Guatemalan seasonally dry forests.

Guatemala has a great diversity of butterflies, although there have been few intensive surveys on Lepidoptera in the country so far. We present an updated list of 218 species in 149 genera, 19 subfamilies, and six families of butterflies sampled at two seasonally dry forests in the Salamá and Motagua valleys in central and eastern Guatemala, by integrating new data from field surveys conducted in 2014-2021 into our previously published data (Yoshimoto et al. 2018, 2019), with Godman, 1900, (Godman, 1900), and Hayward, 1948 (Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae) as new country records.

, a new genus and species of soldierless termite (Termitidae, Apicotermitinae) from the island of Trinidad.

Scheffrahn & Carrijo is described from workers collected from a single colony in the Northern Range of Trinidad. The shape and texture of the unsclerotized enteric valve, tubular shape of the enteric valve seating, and prominent spherical mesenteric tongue of are the diagnostic characters for both the genus and species. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis using the COI gene and including all neotropical Apicotermitinae genera described to date supports the new genus as a distinct terminal.

In an earlier molecular phylogenetic study, a sample of what was originally identified as (Boraginaceae) from Chile, grouped with species of the genus . This sample was subsequently shown not to be , but an undescribed species, endemic to the dry Puna of Chile. This new species is described here as , along with a key to all South American species of the genus.

Integrative taxonomy of coastal (Erichson) species complex (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae).

A systematic review of the marine littoral (Erichson) along the eastern Pacific and the western Atlantic coasts including the Caribbean Sea is presented based on morphological and molecular ( and ) characters. Specimens of the species complex [, Bierig, and (LeConte)] are similar to each other, including the form and structure of the aedeagus, and they can be treated as cryptic species. Detailed micromorphological characters (SEM) and molecular analyses support the validity of these three species.
