Description of Armadillidium boalense sp. nov. from northern Spain, with remarks and a key of the genus in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Armadillidiidae)
No full textA new woodlice species of the genus Armadillidium Brandt, 1831 is described and illustrated from Asturias (northern Iberian Peninsula). Armadillidium boalense sp. nov. is ascribed to the 'pictum group' and is characterized by its eusphaeric conglobation, duplocarinate-type cephalon and strong sexual differentiation of the seventh pair of male pereopods. Furthermore, its diagnostic characteristics and its affinities with the rest of species of this group are discussed. The main diagnostic characteristics of a sometimes-questioned species Armadillidium galiciense Schmölzer, 1955 are also commented and illustrated. To facilitate the separation of the current known Iberian species of Armadillidium, an updated identification key is provided, and some new distributional and ecological data of other Armadillidium species of the Asturian region are also included.Peer reviewe
Diversity hidden in nests: worldwide account of nidicolous silverfish (Insecta: Zygentoma)
No full textThe available information on nidicolous insects of the order Zygentoma (mainly those living in the nests or colonies of ants, termites, but also associated with other animals) is thoroughly revised. Most of the data comes from old, low-impact and non-digitized but equally valid sources. This work presents the first worldwide annotated checklist of nidicolous Zygentoma species, indicating their geographic distribution and host associations. The information provided in this checklist is analysed. A total of 611 associations involving 203 species (75 Lepismatidae and 128 Nicoletiidae) are accounted with 70.4% found with ants (more than 160 species), 26.4% with termites (more than 80), and 3.1% with other animals like wasps, birds, and mammals. Myrmecophiles (ant-associated silverfish) represent 48.5% of species, termitophiles (termite-associated) 39.1%, and nidicolous species 12.4%. Interestingly, Nicoletiidae silverfish are associated with a broader range of social insects than Lepismatidae, especially regarding termite associations. Geographic distributions are also different between silverfish families, with Lepismatidae more diverse in the northern hemisphere and Nicoletiidae in the southern latitudes; the existence of patterns is suggested, but the need for more sampling in underexplored regions is emphasized. Additionally, nearly 50 Zygentoma species not previously linked to social insects that could be nidicolous are also listed. The review of the available biological data suggest various types of interactions, including commensalism, parasitism, and mutualism, possibly pointing to independent evolutionary events. However, limited taxonomic, geographic, and biological knowledge complicates a thorough interpretation, highlighting the need for further research on silverfish diversity and their host interactions.Some research carried out for this work was partially covered by the Project «Relaciones entre Formicidae y sus huéspedes en ecosistemas mediterráneos: diversidad y el grado de especialización de los artrópodos mirmecófilos» (Ref. XXIII PP. Mod. 4.1) by the University of Córdoba (Spain) in the «Programa propio de fomento de la investigación» (1-VII-2018 to 31-X-2020).Peer reviewe
Worldwide revision of synanthropic silverfish (Insecta: Zygentoma: Lepismatidae) combining morphological and molecular data
No full textSynanthropic silverfish are the best-known and most widely distributed insects of the order Zygentoma. However, there is a great gap in the knowledge and confusion about the geographic distribution and the diagnostic characteristics that allow their identification. In this work, we provide an exhaustive and deep analysis of the most common 9 synanthropic silverfish of the world, combining previously published and newly derived morphological and molecular data. Updated descriptions of Ctenolepisma calvum (Ritter, 1910) and Ctenolepisma (Sceletolepisma) villosum (Fabricius, 1775) are included, and morphological remarks, illustrations, and photographs of the remaining synanthropic species are provided to clarify their diagnosis and differentiation among them and from other free-living species. In addition, Ctenolepisma targionii (Grassi and Rovelli, 1889) is synonymized with C. villosum. A molecular phylogeny is presented based on the COI sequences of all the synanthropic species deposited in BOLD and GenBank, with 15 new sequences provided by this study. This has allowed us to detect and correct a series of identification errors based on the lack of morphological knowledge of several species. Moreover, 2 different lineages of Ctenolepisma longicaudatumEscherich, 1905 have also been detected. To help future studies, we also provide a taxonomic interpretation guide for the most important diagnostic characters of the order Zygentoma, as well as an identification key for all the Synanthropic studied species. Finally, an approximation of the global distribution of synanthropic silverfish is discussed. Several new records indicate that the expansion of these species, generally associated with the transport of goods and people, is still far from over.Funding for the DNA sequencing was provided by the Australian Museum Research Institute and for SEM sessions by the University of Córdoba through the «Plan Propio de Investigación».xPeer reviewe
