In a later paper reviewing the <i>Caridina</i> species from Yunnan, however, Liang and Yan (1985) erroneously used their original but unpublished name, <i>C. heterodentata</i>, for the species, apparently forgetting that they had used the name <i>C. disparidentata</i> in their 1984 publication! <i>Caridina heterodentata</i> Liang and Yan, 1985, must thus be regarded as an unjusti®ed emendation of <i>C. disparidentata</i> Liang, Yan and Wang, 1984.

Identification and Functional Analysis of Two New De Novo KCNMA1 Variants Associated with Liang-Wang syndrome.
Full text linkAIM
Loss-of-function KCNMA1 variants cause Liang-Wang syndrome (MIM #618729), a newly-identified multiple malformation syndrome with a broad spectrum of developmental and neurological phenotypes. However, the full spectrum of clinical features and underlying pathogenic mechanisms need full elucidation.
METHODS
Exome sequencing was used to identify pathogenic variants. Patch-clamp recordings were performed to access the effects of KCNMA1 variants on BK channels. Total and membrane protein expression levels of BK channels were characterized using Western blotting.
RESULTS
We report identification and functional characterization of two new de novo loss-of-function KCNMA1 variants p.(A172T) and p.(A314T) with characteristics of Liang-Wang syndrome. Variant p.(A172T) is associated with developmental delay, cognitive impairment, and ataxia. Mechanistically, p.(A172T) abolishes BK potassium current, inhibits Mg2+ -dependent gating, but shifts conductance-voltage (G-V) curves to more positive potentials when complexed with WT channels. Variant p.(A314T) is associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, cognitive impairment, mild ataxia, and generalized epilepsy, suppresses BK current amplitude, and shifts G-V curves to more positive potentials when expressed with WT channels. In addition, two new patients with previously reported gain-of-function variants p.(N536H) and p.(N995S) are found to show epilepsy and paroxysmal dyskinesia as reported previously, but also exhibit additional symptoms of cognitive impairment, and dysmorphic features. Furthermore, variants p.(A314T) and p.(N536H) reduced total and membrane levels of BK proteins.
CONCLUSION
Our findings identified two new loss-of-function mutations of KCNMA1 associated with Liang-Wang syndrome, expanded the spectrum of clinical features associated with gain-of-function KCNMA1 variants, and emphasized the overlapping features shared by gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations

Tianmu). Notes. The name of this species is spelled P. tianmuoe where it first appears on page 237 of Liang (1992). However, this species is listed as P. tianmonum in two places in the index to the book in which this species was described (Yin, 1992, pages 583 and 614). We therefore interpret P. tianmonum as the correct name of the species, and P. tianmuoe as a printing or translation error. It appears that Liang (1992) was accidentally published before the formal description of this species in Liang (1993).Published as part of Yan, Yi, Jin, Dao-Chao, Wu, Dian, Guo, Jian-Jun & Guo, Xian-Guo, 2012, A revised checklist and key to the genus Podocinum Berlese (Acari: Podocinidae) with description of a new species from Tibet, Southwest China, pp. 35-48 in Zootaxa 3194 on pages 44-45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21132
