Nemastoma bidentatum gruberi Novak, Slana Novak, Kozel & Raspotnig ssp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 17EA28A1-5F36-4DFC-9191-9C8680496FAC Figs 1A, C, 2– 3, 4E, 5E, 6E, 7E, 8E, 9E, 10E, 11E, 12E, 13D; Table 8 Nemastoma bidentatum sparsum – Novak et al. 2002: 136 [partim: Brežice, Črnomelj, Kočevje, Krško, Litija, Metlika, Novo mesto, Ribnica, Sevnica,Trebnje]. — Novak 2004b: 245 [partim: Buje, Karojba, Vižinada]; 2005b: 105. Diagnosis Relatively long-legged subspecies of Nemastoma bidentatum, with strait Ch ventral margin, and Pa-Fe with either 4 subequidistantly positioned spines or pointed tubercles or long setae on low protrusions, or their combination in the distal Pa-Fe half, or alternatively, with 2–3 distal stout thorns. Rec sem with one tubular and 12 elongated balloon-like vesicles. Etymology The subspecies name ʻ gruberi ʼ is dedicated to Jürgen Gruber (Vienna), our teacher, colleague and friend, who generously introduced us to the taxonomy of harvestmen and helped in identifying problematic specimens.

Remarks In Hadži’s original preparation, labelled “ Nemastoma bidentatum Roewer pulli”, with two cover glasses on the same microscope slide, there are two males and a female. One male corresponds to the type specimen of Nemastoma (Stridulostoma) seliskari Hadži, 1973 (Hadži 1973a). For this species, Hadži (ibid.) founded a new subgenus Stridulostoma based on the existence of an alleged “stridulatory organ” on the Fe III (Hadži 1973a: figs 37č–d). Gruber (1976: 797) explained that the stridulatory organ alone does not justify establishing of a new subgenus, especially because this new species differs from N. (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum Hadži, 1973 exclusively by possession of this organ, and accordingly, synonymized Stridulostoma with Nemastoma. Following these remarks, Schönhofer (2013: 36) synonymized N. seliskari with N. b. pluridentatum. We found that the portion of the Fe III, identified by Hadži (1973a) as a stridulatory organ in the type specimen, is in fact a depression-damage, caused by desiccation. Moreover, such damage is present in nearly all (sic!) the other femora of this freshly moulted specimen, but nothing resembles the fine lamellated structure shown in Hadži’s drawing (1973a: figs 37č–d). No similar structure was found in the specimens of Nemastoma collected later on Mt. Mirna gora. One might imagine that a careless inspection under a microscope at low magnification could result in the illusion of a ʻstridulatory organʼ. However, the drawing of its lamellae cannot be considered anything but a pure fabrication. Moreover, Pa-Fe in Hadži (1973a: fig. 33c), being under the same cover glass in the preparation, belongs to the same specimen, although Hadži (ibid.) ascribed it to N. (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum.

Pa article lengths in Table 7. LEGS. Pseudoarticle leg-Fe formula I−IV: 0−2−1−2. Tarsomere formula I−IV: 8−13−5−8. Leg article lengths in Table 7. Remarks Under the name Nemastoma (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum, Hadži (1973a) described four taxa: a) N. pluridentatum (Hadži, 1973) stat. nov. (Hadži 1973a: fig. 33a) from Mt. Paljenik (1943 m a.s.l.) in the Vlašić Mts, Bosnia, b) a hybrid N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. (Hadži 1973a: fig. 33b, č) from the surroundings of Novo mesto, Slovenia, c) a hybrid N. b. martensi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. (Hadži 1973a: fig. 33c) from the surroundings of Novo mesto, which Hadži (ibid.) erroneously cited for Mt. Vlašić, and d) Nemastoma b. schmidti ssp. nov. from Mt. Šmarna gora, Slovenia (Hadži 1973a: fig. 34a), from the surroundings of Ljubljana (Hadži 1973a: fig. 34b), and from the cave Jama Sv. Janeza pri Prestranku near Postojna, Slovenia (Hadži 1973a: fig. 34c). Figs 33 and 34 were drawn freehand; consequently, shapes and dimensions only partly correspond to the real measurements. Hadži’s original microscopic preparation labeled “ Nemastoma bidentatum Roewer pulli, A-1065 (Novo Mesto), legit Karaman” includes two males and a female, but no juveniles. Hadži (ibid.) drew some details of the males, including damaged legs; see remarks on Nemastoma (Stridulostoma) seliskari Hadži, 1973 under N. b. martensi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. Given that some important parts, e.g., Pa of one male, are missing, Hadži probably made this incomplete preparation after observation of the specimens under a microscope. In his original paper (Hadži 1973a), the type specimen and the type locality of N. pluridentatum stat. nov. were not designated, but he did that in the catalogue (Hadži 1973b: 13) under a mistyped name: “ N. (L.) triste pleuridentatum Hadži, 1973 ”. There he wrote: “Loc. typ.: Novo mesto ”. Since the specimens from this locality belong to the above-mentioned hybrids, Novo mesto cannot be the type locality of N. pluridentatum stat. nov.; that is the first-mentioned location in Bosnia, as fig. 33a (Hadži 1973a) is the only drawing that refers to this taxon. Unfortunately, only the preparation of one Ch, one Pa and four legs of the male holotype are preserved, while the body, as well as a further male and female mentioned by Hadži (1973a: 44) are missing. Because of the lack of any information on the Pe, the saw on Fe IV in preserved legs is the only available character allowing us to place this taxon into the N. b. complex, interpreted as N. ? bidentatum pluridentatum (Novak 2005a: fig. 34) or N. b. pluridentatum (Schönhofer 2013). In 2019, we visited the type locality Mt. Paljenik, but we did not find further specimens of N. pluridentatum. Instead we found a new, much different N. kozari sp. nov. there, which unlikely hybridize with N. pluridentatum stat. nov. Consequently, we ascribed the species status to N. pluridentatum. See remarks under N. relictum stat. nov., N. kozari sp. nov. and hybrids N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. and N. b. martensi ssp. nov. × N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. Distribution Bosnia and Herzegovina, endemic to central Bosnia, probably endemic to the Vlašić Mts. Type locality: Mt. Paljenik in the Vlašić planina Mts, Bosnia, (44.29° N, 17.64° E, 1933 m a.s.l.), Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ecology Nemastoma pluridentatum stat. nov. inhabit the highest peak areas with the Mastgrass Gentianello crispatae-Nardetum strictae Redžić 1990 communities. Phenology: adults probably eurychronous.Published as part of Novak, Tone, Novak, Ljuba Slana, Kozel, Peter, Schaider, Miriam Gudrun, Komposch, Christian, Lipovšek, Saška, Podlesnik, Jan, Paušič, Igor & Raspotnig, Günther, 2021, Hidden diversity within the Nemastoma bidentatum Roewer, 1914 complex (Opiliones: Nemastomatidae) Part I: Morphological evidence, pp. 1-67 in European Journal of Taxonomy 777 on pages 18-20, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.777.1561, http://zenodo.org/record/563711
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Slana, M. Ferenc & T. Novak leg. (TN 310 / 2002). Paratypes: ibid., 2 ♂, 1 Ψ (TN 310 / 2002); ibid., 13.X. 2005, deep solid humic soil near beech roots, L. Slana Novak & T. Novak leg.: 2 Ψ (TN 139 / 2005); ibid., 15.X. 2005: 1 ♂, 1 Ψ (TN 140 / 2005); Šega near Makole (46.300144 °N, 15.659478 °E; 350 m altitude), UTM: WM53, 09.IV. 1983, forest floor, L. Slana, M. Štangelj & T. Novak leg.: 1 ♂ (LS 362 / 1985, rev. TN 2006). Holotype, 2 ♂ paratypes and 2 Ψ paratypes deposited in the Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije, Ljubljana, Slovenia; ex collection T. Novak & L. Slana Novak (TN 310 / 2002; TN 139 / 2005). 1 ♂ (MCZ 68552, ex TN 140 / 2005) and 1 Ψ (MCZ 68553, ex TN 140 / 2005) paratypes mounted for SEM and used for DNA analysis (MCZ DNA 101802, ex TN 140 / 2005) deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA); 1 ♂ (LS 362 / 1985) and 1 Ψ (TN 139 / 2005) in the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (Austria). Etymology: From Latin adjective crassus, meaning solid or thick. The species epithet refers to the body shape of the new species, which is relatively large and robust for a member of the genus Siro. Diagnosis: Relatively large, 2.2–2.6 mm in length (Figs 2–5), long-legged and robust Siro species with elongated leg IV so that patella IV surpasses the posterior end of the opisthosoma (Figs 2, 3). Corona analis of male broad (Figs 2 b, 4, 8); corona analis of female protruding, with a concentration of lateral setae on the sides (Figs 3 b, 5, 9, 11). Anal plate of male and female with a longitudinal median keel (Figs 8–9); tergite VIII of male with three anal gland pores (Fig. 10). Metatarsi of legs I–IV completely ornamented with a tuberculate surface (sensu Murphree 1988) (Figs 18, 20, 22, 24, 27). Description: Total length of male holotype (in mm) (female paratype TN 310 / 2002 in parentheses) 2.29 (2.48); largest body width in prosoma behind ozophores: 1.32 (1.39); width across ozophores 1.05 (1.15); body length/width ratio 1.73 (1.78). Body orangebrown (dark to strong brown according to the Munsell’s Color Charts (2000): 7.5 YR 3 / 3–7.5 YR 4 / 6) in life and in ethanol (Figs 2, 3). Anterior margin of dorsal scutum slightly concave; prosomal region almost semicircular. Eyes absent. Ozophores conical, of type II (sensu Juberthie 1970), with subterminal ozopore 1 and with spiral ornamentation of ozophore (sensu de Bivort & Giribet 2004). Transverse prosomal sulcus V-like; transverse opisthosomal sulci inconspicuous (Figs 2 a, 3 a). Dorsal scutum convex; maximum width in prosomal area behind ozophores. Opisthosomal part of dorsal shield slightly wider than ventral side. Ventral prosomal complex of males (Figs 2 b, 4, 6) with coxae I, II and IV meeting in the midline, the later for a distance longer than the gonostome length; coxae II and IV with broad endites; coxae III not meeting in the midline; coxal pores clearly visible between coxae III and IV. Projections of coxae IV endite present in the anterior portion of the gonostome wall. Coxae II free, not fused to coxae III–IV. Ventral prosomal complex of female (Figs 3 b, 5, 7) only with coxae I and II meeting along the midline; coxae II with large endites; coxal pores not observed. Male gonostome sub-semicircular, with slightly concave posterior margin, wider than long (0.152 x 0.109 mm), and delimited laterally and antero-laterally by the elevated endites of coxae IV (Fig. 6). Female gonostome semicircular anteriorly, wider than long (0.183 x 0.116 mm) (Fig. 7). Gonostome of female forming a tube angled at about 45 ° from the body surface, as in Stylocellus globosus Schwendinger & Giribet, 2004 (see Schwendinger et al. 2004). Spiracles (Fig. 12) of circular type (sensu Giribet & Boyer 2002), circular to oval in shape in male, oval in female, with a maximum diameter of 0.048 and 0.069 mm, respectively. 1. de Bivort & Giribet (2004) described the different type of ozophores in Cyphophthalmi and used the term "plugged" for those ozopores partially capped by a smooth surface (their figures 10a–h, 11a–e). It seems that the "cap" of the ozophores is the polymerized substance exuding from the ozopore. This type of ozophore should be referred to as having a subterminal ozopore. Ventral opisthosomal region of male without conspicuous modifications or gland openings. Opisthosomal tergite IX and sternites 8 and 9 fused into a broad, low corona analis in males (Figs 8), and into a protruding corona analis with a concentration of long lateral setae in females (Figs 9, 11). Anal plate oval, 0.299 mm (in males) and 0.309 (in females) mm wide; in males with a high, thin medial ridge, in female individuals with a less conspicuous one; ridge with setae (Figs 8, 9). Three anal gland pores on tergite VIII of males (Fig. 10). Cuticle with tuberculate-microgranular surface (sensu Murphree 1988; this is referred to as “ornamented” hereafter), nearly uniform in dorsal areas and in ventral areas including coxae; tuberculate elements typically elongated behind gonostome and around spiracles. An additional microtuberculate pattern present in the ventral opisthosomal region where different segments merge (Fig. 13), possibly indicating the location of arthrodial membranes during postembryonic development. Chelicerae (Fig. 14) relatively short and robust; basal article in males 1.13 mm long, 0.28 mm wide, with a ventral process, but without a conspicuous dorsal crest; second article 1.04 mm long, 0.19 mm wide; movable finger 0.38 mm long; all articles with few setae, the proximal one almost entirely granulated; 9 uniform denticles on the cutting edge of each cheliceral finger (Fig. 15). Second cheliceral segment not ornamented. Palp (Fig. 16) 1.93 mm long, smooth, slightly ornamented on coxa and trochanter. Measurements of palpal articles in male holotype, length/width (L/W ratio) in mm: Trochanter 0.249 / 0.108 (2.31), femur 0.521 / 0.106 (4.92), patella 0.355 / 0.093 (3.82), tibia 0.403 / 0.087 (4.63), tarsus 0.347 / 0.089 (3.90); claw 0.05 mm long (Fig. 17). Legs (Figs 18–27; Table 1) relatively long and robust. Leg I of holotype longer than leg II; leg I of female paratype TN 310 / 2002 slightly shorter than leg II. Except for the tarsi, all articles ornamented on legs I–IV. Tarsus IV of male entire, with a broad adenostyle (Figs 24, 26) (0.067 / 0.050 mm), subcylindrical at the base, with lateral pore; distal margin at 41 % of tarsal length. Claws hooked, smooth, without dentition or lateral pegs (Figs 19, 21, 23, 25). Spermatopositor (Figs 28–30) short, typical of sironids, smooth, measuring 0.272 / 0.144 mm; movable fingers 0.015 mm long, slightly curved outwards, ending as hooks (Fig. 28, see arrow; nearly straight and one behind the other), shorter than the membranous median lobe; microtrichial formula: 3, 14, 6 + 6 (n = 1). Gonopore complex not observed. Ovipositor (Figs 31–32) 1.37 mm long, typical of Siro (see Juberthie 1967 a), composed of two apical lobes and 31 circular articles (n = 1), each with 8 short setae equal in length; these setae slightly longer on the 2 nd and 3 rd subterminal articles, and about three times longer on the terminal circular article; most-basal article without setae. Apical lobes each with a long terminal seta and 12–13 setae slightly increasing in length towards the tip; sensitive processes with 2–3 branches carrying 5–6 simple and 2–3 bifurcate setae. Receptaculum seminis in proximal half of apical lobe, elongated, consisting of two sacs. The largest of several eggs: 0.58 mm long, 0.45 mm wide. Variation: Range of body length: Males (n = 5), and females (n = 4) in parentheses: 2.20–2.29 (2.40–2.61). Distribution and ecology: So far this species has been found in two localities in northeastern Slovenia (Fig. 1). In 1984, four S. crassus sp. n. and four C. duricorius (TN 311 / 2002) specimens were collected, found syntopically within 20–30 cm deep, wet, undecomposed leaf litter of European beech (Fagus sylvatica Linnaeus, 1753) covering a shallow natural ditch with trickling water. In 2005, a dozen of microhabitat types were systematically investigated at the type locality, and four further specimens of S. crassus sp. n. were found, but only in deep solid humic soil (color according to Munsell’s Color Charts (2000): 10 YR 1 / 1) near beech roots. Sex ratio: So far 5 males and 4 females were found, nearing a 1: 1 sex ratio.Published as part of Novak, Tone & Giribet, Gonzalo, 2006, A new species of Cyphophthalmi (Arachnida, Opiliones, Sironidae) from Eastern Slovenia, pp. 27-42 in Zootaxa 1330 on pages 29-36, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17419
