Laniger bat tick (Ixodes lanigeri), new hard tick species (Ixodidae) from mouse-eared bats (Myotis) in Vietnam

NEWS - Researchers have identified Ixodes ticks from Vietnam based on morphological and molecular characteristics of females, nymphs and larvae as a new species, laniger bat tick ( Ixodes lanigeri ), which like other members of the Ixodes ariadnae complex appears to show a preference for vesper bats as a typical host. Historically, for more than a century and a half, only one species has been called the “long-legged bat tick”: Ixodes vespertilionis Koch. However, over the past decade, it has been molecularly recognized that long-legged ixodid ticks associated with bats may represent at least six species. Host associations and geographic separation may explain the evolutionary divergence of the new species from its closest living relative Murina hilgendorfi Peters in East Asia, Japan, as no Myotis or Murina spp. have overlapping distributions between Vietnam and the Japanese mainland. On the other hand, assuming that I. lanigeri may be present in other myotine bats and knowing that s...

Large pro rotifer (Proales amplus), new monogonont with large epipharynx from Korea (Rotifera, Proalidae)

NEWS - Large pro rotifer ( Proales amplus ) is the 42nd species in the genus Proales that exhibits unique morphological characteristics on the trophy, especially the unmatched epipharynx that prevents misidentification with other species. The epithet amplus is derived from the Latin word meaning large or wide, referring to the size and shape of the epipharynx. Proalidae Harring & Myers 1924 includes 4 genera and 53 species that are distributed throughout the biogeography and inhabit a variety of environments, including freshwater, saltwater and terrestrial environments. The genus Proales includes 41 species that are characterized by various morphological features. In Korea, the presence of Proalidae has been documented with 5 species: Bryceella perpusilla (Wilts, Martínez Arbizu & Ahlrichs, 2010), B. stylata (Milne, 1886), B. tenella (Bryce, 1897), Proales fallaciosa (Wulfert, 1937) and Proalinopsis caudatus (Collins, 1872). The habitus of P. amplus has some similarities w...

A central vein is linear, with a pointed tip and base. The upper surface is dark green and the lower surface is bright green. The petiole is 3 cm long. The flowers are fan-shaped with 5 inflorescences. The base is narrow, whitish-yellow or bright green, and 8 cm wide. Four inflorescences with brownish-white tips and one inflorescence with a green tip grow in the center. The fruit is green, 3.5 cm long, and the stalk is 2 cm long.
