The Commission is authorised to vote on applications published in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature six months after their publi¬ cation but this period is normally extended to enable comments to be submitted. Any zoologist who wishes to comment on any of the applications is invited to send his contribution to the Executive Secretary of the Commission as quickly as possible. (b) Invitation to contribute general articles. At present the Bulletin comprises mainly applications concerning names of particular animals or groups of animals, resulting comments and the Commission's eventual rulings (Opinions). Proposed amendments to the Code are also published for discussion. Articles or notes of a more general nature are actively welcomed provided that they raise nomenclatural issues, although they may well deal with taxonomic matters for illustrative purposes. It should be the aim of such contributions to interest an audience wider than some small group of specialists. (c) Receipt ofnew applications. The following new applications have been received since going to press for volume 57, part 2 (published on 30 June 2000). Under Article 82 of the Code, existing usage is to be maintained until the ruling of the Commission is published.

The purpose of this application is to conserve the name Clytia noliformis (McCrady, 1859) for a well-known marine hydroid (family campanulariidae). McCrady's (1859) type material of C. noliformis is lost but the hydroid he described is now believed to have been a different species from C. noliformis auct. and perhaps conspecific with C. hemisphaerica (Linnaeus, 1767). It is proposed that a neotype be designated for C. noliformis in accord with usage during the past 100 years. The species noliformis as currently understood occurs circumtropically and is common on pelagic Sargassum and benthic substrates.

  • Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
    Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

The item consists of two names, both of which come from Latin. However, it can be derived from other languages too. This name is called a binomial name or scientific name. The general name or the initial part of the name distinguishes the genus to which the body belongs. The second part, or specific name, determines the exact species under which the body enters, within the genus. In addition, there are certain rules to follow in the binomial item, such as the common name is always capitalized, while a specific name is not. Also, the entire name should be italicised. We can understand this system better with an example: Modern Humans Common Name Homo Specific Name sapiens Scientific Names of Animals Listed Below, the scientific names of several common animals.

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

Most valvatiform genera of the gastropod family Hydrobiidae are narrow-range taxa. One exception is the genus Arganiella, which is comprised of three congeners: the type species A. pescei from the Apennine Peninsula, A. wolfi from the Iberian Peninsula and A. tabanensis from the Balkans. The genus assignment of the latter two species was based on morphological similarities with A. pescei in the shell, operculum, radula and genitalia. Given that the morphology of hydrobiids is sometimes susceptible to convergence, this study re-evaluates the taxonomic status of species of Arganiella by analysing mitochondrial (mtCOI) and nuclear (18S rRNA) sequences of topotypes or near topotypes to infer their phylogenetic position.

Foto: IDENTIFICACIÓN Se trata de un caracol acuático de agua dulce con concha diminuta, más ancha que alta (alrededor de 1 mm de anchura), de color pardo, redondeada, dextrógira, con la abertura ovalada y un amplio om- bligo. El opérculo es transparente y ligeramente amarillento en su núcleo central. La cabeza está lige- ramente pigmentada o puede carecer por completo de pigmento. El sistema genital de las hembras pre- senta una pequeña bursa copulatriz y dos receptáculos seminales. Las hembras poseen un pseudopene en la mitad derecha de la cabeza, más pequeño pero similar en forma y posición al pene masculino, un fenómeno denominado pseudohermafroditismo. El pene del macho posee un lóbulo pequeño en posición media de su longitud. Para una correcta identificación véase Arconada y Ramos, 2002. ÁREA DE DISTRIBUCIÓN Se trata de un endemismo de la Península Ibérica, que sólo estaba identificada en una única localidad de la provincia de Cuenca: Yémeda. En el año 1990 se descubrió una población en Castellón que ha sido recientemente identificada como perteneciente también a esta especie (Arconada y Ramos, 2002). No se conocen hasta la fecha nuevas localidades. Tabla de localidades Fuente Estado de Visitada Localidad Provincia UTM Observaciones (año) conservación Altimira, 1960 Araujo, Remón
