ZooKeys, unlocking Earth's incredible biodiversity and building a sustainable bridge into the public domain: From "print-based" to "web-based" taxonomy, systematics, and natural history.

2008-07-30T15:52:10Z

Publishing taxonomic and systematics studies in the digital era faces major challenges and requires new approaches, many of which are currently stimulating spirited discussions among taxonomists and systematists. New amendments to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature are expected to regulate electronic publishing of new taxa and create a standard form for their registration (ZooBank)...

Pison menkei, a new crabronid wasp in Dominican amber (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae).

2008-07-30T15:51:37Z

A new crabronid wasp species, Pison menkei sp. n., is described and figured from a single female preserved in Early Miocene (Burdigalian) Dominican amber. The fossil is herein distinguished from extant and extinct congeners and regarded as an isolated species removed from modern Neotropical species groups. It is the seventh named fossil Pison and the second from Dominican amber.

2008-07-30T15:52:29Z

A new species of the highly specialized hemipteran family of social ectosymbionts, the Termitaphididae, is reported in Miocene amber from the Dominican Republic: Termitaradus avitinquilinus, n. sp. It differs from the only other fossil termitaphidid (Termitaradus protera Poinar and Doyen), in Miocene Mexican amber, and from modern species by various distinctive features. Two of the three specime...

A second specimen of Permocoleus (Coleoptera) from the Lower Permian Wellington Formation of Noble County, Oklahoma.

2008-07-30T15:51:07Z

Specimens of Paleozoic Coleoptera are quite rare, particularly so in North America where they have been hitherto represented by a single specimen. The first Permian beetle from North America was only recently described from a single specimen of a complete elytron (no counterpart). A second specimen from another locality in those same beds, comprised of the part and counterpart of a fragment of a...

The enigmatic Mesozoic insect taxon Chresmodidae (Polyneoptera): New palaeobiological and phylogenetic data, with the description of a new species from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil.

2008-07-30T15:51:19Z

The morphology of the enigmatic, Mesozoic, aquatic insect family Chresmodidae is redescribed and its phylogenetic affinities among the polyneopterous orders discussed. Study of the complete venation of both fore- and hind wings observed in some specimens from the Spanish Barremian, permit us to postulate the hypothesis that the family belongs to the Archaeorthoptera, thus to the orthopteroid linea...

2008-10-01T13:28:34Z

Snakefly (Raphidioptera) larvae are newly documented from the Early Cretaceous ambers of Lebanon, Myanmar (Burma), and France. Previously only two Cretaceous larvae had been documented, one in Late Cretaceous (Turonian) amber from New Jersey and another in Early Cretaceous (Albian) amber from Myanmar. The specimens discussed herein are likely representative of the extinct family Mesoraphidiidae, b...

Reticulitermes Holmgren, 1913 (Insecta, Isoptera): proposed precedence over Maresa Giebel, 1856.

2008-10-01T13:27:25Z

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the usage of the genus-group name Reticulitermes Holmgren, 1913 (type species Termes flavipes Kollar, 1837) for an economically important and universally known group of termites, the subterranean termites responsible for most economic damage in the Northern Hemisphere. Two genus-group names have priority over Reticul...

A new record of Thaumastobombus andreniformis Engel 2001 in Eocene amber (Hymenoptera: Apidae).

2008-10-01T13:27:12Z

A new specimen of the rare fossil bee Thaumastobombus andreniformis Engel 2001 (Apidae: Apinae: Electrapini) is reported and figured from middle Eocene (Lutetian) Baltic amber. The new specimen, a female of the worker caste, agrees in every respect with the holotype except some morphometric differences. These minor size differences are likely related to the degree of sociality of T. andreniformis....

2008-10-01T13:29:08Z

The bees (Apoidea: Anthophila) first diverged from the spheciform wasps sometime in the later part of the Early Cretaceous, about 125 million years ago. The sister group of the bees is probably the Crabronidae within the paraphyletic Sphecidae, which contains about 90% of the described spheciform diversity. The palaeoentomological data for sphecids are relatively poorly understood, but support the...

The primitive silverfish Tricholepidion gertschi Wygodzinsky has traditionally been considered to be the sole surviving member of the family Lepidotrichidae, originally described from a middle Eocene fossil in Baltic amber. The fossil species, however, possesses apomorphic traits uniting it with more typical Zygentoma, and Lepidotrichidae in the traditional sense is grouped solely on plesiomorphi...

Owing to their minute sizes, frail wings, and low abundances in entomological collections, zorapterans have been assumed to be highly endemic and poor dispersers. Wide distributions of some species are thought to be induced by human activity. Herein, we use the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction (GARP) to model the potential distribution of Zorotypus hubbardi Caudell, one of 32 living speci...

Differences between T. prisca and extant Trigona are noted and the fossil is transferred into a new genus, Cretotrigona. An exploratory cladistic analysis of the Meliponini is undertaken and Cretotrigona supported as sister to the African genus Dacty...
