Barth' : 'Institut fair Zoologie, Althanstr . 14; 1090 Wien; and 2lnstitut fur Mikrobiologie and Genetik; Dr. Bohrgasse 9 ; 1030 Wien (Vienna), Austria . ABSTRACT. Mitochondrial DNA fragments comprising more than 400 bases of the 16S rDNA from nine spider species have been sequenced: Cupiennius salei, C. getazi, C. coccineus and Phoneutria boliviensis (Ctenidae), Pisaura mirabilis, Dolomedes fimbriatus (Pisauridae), Pardosa agrestis (Lycosidae), Clubiona pallidula (Clubi- onidae) and Ryuthela nishihirai (syn. Heptathela nishihirai; Heptathelidae: Mesothelae). Sequence divergence ranges from 3–4% among Cupiennius species and up to 36% in pairwise comparisons of the more distantly related spider DNAs. Maximally parsimonious gene trees based on these sequences indicate that Phoneutri a and Cupiennius are the most distantly related species of the examined Lycosoidea . The monophyly of the family Ctenidae is therefore doubted ; and a revision of the family, which should include DNA-data, is needed . Cupiennius salei (Ctenidae) is one of the most get a high copy number of the DNA segment of extensively studied species of spiders (see Lach - interest. The PCR depends on the availability of muth et al. 1985). The phylogeny of the Ctenidae , oligonucleotides that specifically bind to the a mainly South and Central American family, i s flanking sequences of this DNA segment. These poorly understood ; and systematists propose oligonucleotides serve as primers for a polymer- highly contradicting views on its classification ization reaction that copies the segment in vitro.

The host was identified initially as a leaf-cutting ant (Atta cephalotes, Camponotus sericeiventris Attini, Myrmicinae). However, a critical examination of the original illustration reveals that the host is the golden carpenter ants carpenter ant, Camponotus sericeiventris (Camponotini, Formicinae). Because the holotype is no longer extant and epitype the original diagnosis lacks critical taxonomic information – specifically, on ascus and ascospore morphology – a new Ophiocordyceps type from Minas Gerais State of south-east Brazil is designated herein. A re-description of the fungus is provided and phylogeny a new phylogenetic tree of the O. unilateralis clade is presented. It is predicted that many more species of zombie- ant fungi remain to be delimited within the O. unilateralis complex worldwide, on ants of the tribe Camponotini. Published online: 15 December 2017.

Here, we describe three newly discovered host-specific species, Ophiocordyceps camponoti-atricipis, O. camponoti- bispinosi and O. camponoti-indiani, on Camponotus ants from the central Amazonian region of Brazil, which can readily be separated using morphological traits, in particular the shape and behavior of the ascospores. DNA sequence data support inclusion of these species within the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis complex. Introduction In tropical forests, social insects (ants, bees, termites and wasps) are the most abundant land-dwelling arthropods.

Submissions will not be considered unless this form is filled out completely. The proposer is expected to be familiar with the rules, recommendations, and procedures outlined in the “Use and Submission of Common Names” on the ESA website and with the discussion by A.B. Gurney, 1953, Journal of Economic Entomology 46:207-211. 1. Proposed new common name: Four species in the spider genus Cupiennius: 1) redfaced banana spider, 2) spotlegged banana spider, 3) redlegged banana spider, 4) Sale’s banana spider 2. Previously approved common name (if any): none 3. Scientific name (genus, species, author): 1) Cupiennius chiapanensis Medina, 2) Cupiennius getazi Simon, 3) Cupiennius coccineus F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 4) Cupiennius salei (Keyserling) Order: Araneae Family: Ctenidae Supporting Information 4. Reasons supporting the need for the proposed common name: For the last decade, I have been working on a project involving spiders that have been brought into North America in international cargo. I am in the process of summarizing the work and writing a manuscript. Some of these spiders are huge (leg span 50 to 70 mm) and typically cause strong reaction by cargo processors and produce handlers who discover these creatures when they are unloading and unpacking bananas. One of the spiders, C. chiapanensis, (which has bright red cheliceral hairs – see cover of American Entomologist, 2008, volume 54, issue 2) has caused several misidentifications by qualified arachnologists because 1) this spider was unknown until it was given its scientific name in 2006 and 2) prior to the 21st century, the only reference that many entomologists had to ID international spiders was a children’s book, The Golden Guide to Spiders by Levi and Levi.

DAILY LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY PATTERNS IN THREE SPECIES OF CUPIENNIUS (ARANEAE, CTENIDAE): THE MALES ARE THE WANDERING SPIDERS Alain Schmitt, Martin Schuster and Friedrich G. Barth Institut fiir Zoologic, Abteilung Neurobiologie Universit~it Wien, Althanstr. 14 A-1090 Wien, Austria ABSTRACT The daily locomotor activity patterns of spiders of three large species of the genus Cupiennius (Ctenidae) were measured in an artificial 12:12 light:dark cycle. Adult males (N = 10) and females = 10) of each species of these nocturnal Central American wandering spiders were compared. On average, males were 3.5 (C. coccineus and C. gemzi) to 12.7 (C. saleO times more active than females. Hence, males are the truly wandering spiders. We suggest that this is due to sexually motivated searching behavior of the males. Of the two sympatric species, the males and the females of C. cot.t.inell.~ were on average 3.1 times more active than those of C. getazi. In addition C. coccineus exhibited a relative minimumin its locomotor activity when C. getazi showed its absolute maximum. This difference in activity pattern may contribute to the reproductive isolation of these two sympatric species. INTRODUCTION In the field adult and subadult wandering spiders of the species Cupiennius salei (Keyserling) are quite sedentary. Identified individuals were previously found in their retreats on the same dwelling plants for at least one week (Barth and Seyfarth 1979; Seyfarth 1980).

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

    Jin et al. AMB Expr (2020) 10:105 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-020-01039-x ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Genome sequencing and analysis of fungus Hirsutella sinensis isolated from Ophiocordyceps sinensis Li‑Qun Jin1, Zhe‑Wen Xu1, Bo Zhang1, Ming Yi1, Chun‑Yue Weng1, Shan Lin1, Hui Wu2,3, Xiang‑Tian Qin2,3, Feng Xu2,3, Yi Teng2,3, Shui‑Jin Yuan2,3, Zhi‑Qiang Liu1* and Yu‑Guo Zheng1 Abstract Ophiocordyceps sinensis has been used as a traditional medicine or healthy food in China for thousands of years. Hirsutella sinensis was reported as the only correct anamorph of O. sinensis. It is reported that the laboratory‑grown H. sinensis mycelium has similar clinical efcacy and less associated toxicity compared to the wild O. sinensis. The research of the H. sinensis is becoming more and more important and urgent. To gain deeper insight into the biological and pharmacological mechanisms, we sequenced the genome of H. sinensis. The genome of H. sinensis (102.72 Mb) was obtained for the frst time, with > 99% coverage. 10,200 protein‑encoding genes were predicted based on the genome sequence. A detailed secondary metabolism analysis and structure verifcation of the main ingredients were performed, and the biosynthesis pathways of seven ingredients (mannitol, cordycepin, purine nucleotides, pyrimi‑ dine nucleotides, unsaturated fatty acid, cordyceps polysaccharide and sphingolipid) were predicted and drawn. Furthermore, infection process and mechanism of H. sinensis were studied and elaborated in this article. The enzymes involved in the infection mechanism were also predicted, cloned and expressed to verify the mechanism. The genes and proteins were predicted and annotated based on the genome sequence.

    1 Naming Names: the Etymology of Fungal Entomopathogens

Maniania Naming names: The etymology 1 of fungal entomopathogens Fernando E. Vega Sustainable Perennial Crops Laboratory, USDA, ARS, Bldg. 011A, BARC-W Beltsville Maryland 20705, USA Abstract This chapter introduces the reader to the etymology of the generic names given to 26 fungal entomopathogens. Possessing some knowledge on how a name originates sometimes provides us with information on a fungal characteristic that might help us identify the organism, e.g., Conidiobolus, Cordyceps, Pandora, Regiocrella, Orthomyces, etc. In other cases, the name won’t tell us what the fungus looks like, but serves to honor those for whom the fungus was named, e.g., Aschersonia, Batkoa, Beauveria, Nomuraea, Strongwellsea, etc. Correspondence/Reprint request: Dr. Fernando E.

Introduction One interesting aspect in the business of science is the naming of taxonomic species: the reasons why organisms are baptized with a certain name, which might or might not change as science progresses. Related to this topic, the scientific illustrator Louis C. C. Krieger (1873-1940) [1] self-published an eight- page long article in 1924, entitled “The millennium of systematic mycology: a phantasy” where the main character is a “... systematic mycologist, who, from too much “digging” in the mighty “scrapheap” of synonymy, fell into a deep coma.” As he lies in this state, he dreams about being in Heaven, and unable to leave behind his collecting habits, picks up an amanita and upon examining it finds a small capsule hidden within it.
