Fishes of the King Edward River in the Kimberley Region, Western Australia
Records of the Western Australian Museum 25: 351–368 (2010). Fishes of the King Edward River in the Kimberley region, Western Australia David L. Morgan Freshwater Fish Group, Centre for Fish and Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia 6150, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – The King Edward River, in the far north of the Kimberley region of Western Australia drains approximately 10,000 km2 and discharges into the Timor Sea near the town of Kalumburu. This study represents an ichthyological survey of the river’s freshwaters and revealed that the number of freshwater fishes of the King Edward River is higher than has previously been recorded for a Western Australian river. Twenty-six strictly freshwater fish species were recorded, which is three species higher than the much larger Fitzroy River in the southern Kimberley. The study also identified a number of range extensions, including Butler’s Grunter and Shovel-nosed Catfish to the west, and the Slender Gudgeon to the north and east. A possibly undescribed species of glassfish, that differs morphologically from described species in arrangement of head spines, fin rays, as well as relative body measurements, is reported. A considerable proportion of Jenkins’ Grunter, which is widespread throughout the system but essentially restricted to main channel sites, had ‘blubber-lips’. There were significant differences in the prevailing fish fauna of the different reaches of the King Edward River system. Thus fish associations in the upper King Edward River main channel were significantly different to those in the tributaries and the main channel of the Carson River. -

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences. -

An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna
© Copyright Australian Museum, 2005 Records of the Australian Museum (2005) Vol. 57: 375–446. ISSN 0067-1975 An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna M.S. MOULDS Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The history of cicada family classification is reviewed and the current status of all previously proposed families and subfamilies summarized. All tribal rankings associated with the Australian fauna are similarly documented. A cladistic analysis of generic relationships has been used to test the validity of currently held views on family and subfamily groupings. The analysis has been based upon an exhaustive study of nymphal and adult morphology, including both external and internal adult structures, and the first comparative study of male and female internal reproductive systems is included. Only two families are justified, the Tettigarctidae and Cicadidae. The latter are here considered to comprise three subfamilies, the Cicadinae, Cicadettinae n.stat. (= Tibicininae auct.) and the Tettigadinae (encompassing the Tibicinini, Platypediidae and Tettigadidae). Of particular note is the transfer of Tibicina Amyot, the type genus of the subfamily Tibicininae, to the subfamily Tettigadinae. The subfamily Plautillinae (containing only the genus Plautilla) is now placed at tribal rank within the Cicadinae. The subtribe Ydiellaria is raised to tribal rank. The American genus Magicicada Davis, previously of the tribe Tibicinini, now falls within the Taphurini. Three new tribes are recognized within the Australian fauna, the Tamasini n.tribe to accommodate Tamasa Distant and Parnkalla Distant, Jassopsaltriini n.tribe to accommodate Jassopsaltria Ashton and Burbungini n.tribe to accommodate Burbunga Distant. -

Pyramica Boltoni, a New Species of Leaf-Litter Inhabiting Ant from Florida (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dacetini)
Deyrup: New Florida Dacetine Ant 1 PYRAMICA BOLTONI, A NEW SPECIES OF LEAF-LITTER INHABITING ANT FROM FLORIDA (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE: DACETINI) MARK DEYRUP Archbold Biological Station, P.O. Box 2057, Lake Placid, FL 33862 USA ABSTRACT The dacetine ant Pyramica boltoni is described from specimens collected in leaf litter in dry and mesic forest in central and northern Florida. It appears to be closely related to P. dietri- chi (M. R. Smith), with which it shares peculiar modifications of the clypeus and the clypeal hairs. In total, 40 dacetine species (31 native and 9 exotic) are now known from southeastern North America. Key Words: dacetine ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae RESUMEN Se describe la hormiga Dacetini, Pyramica boltoni, de especimenes recolectados en la hoja- rasca de un bosque mésico seco en el área central y del norte de la Florida. Esta especie esta aparentemente relacionada con P. dietrichi (M. R. Smith), con la cual comparte unas modi- ficaciones peculiares del clipeo y las cerdas del clipeo. En total, hay 40 especies de hormigas Dacetini (31 nativas y 9 exoticas) conocidas en el sureste de America del Norte. The tribe Dacetini is composed of small ants discussion of generic distinctions and the evolu- (usually under 3 mm long) that generally live in tion of mandibular structure in the Dacetini. leaf litter where they prey on small arthropods, Dacetine ants show their greatest diversity in especially springtails (Collembola).
