A survey of the Porrhoclubiona Lohmander, 1944 from Central Asia (Araneae, Clubiondae).

ABSTRACT: Clubiona Latreille, 1804, with more than 500 named species, is one of the largest genera of Araneae. The genus has 15 synonyms, most of which are not listed in the World Spider Catalog (2018) and unknown to many arachnologists. The most comprehensive survey of Clubiona sensu lato by Wunderlich (2011) also lacked a few synonyms. In this paper all genus group names described in Clubiona are listed with their type species. Most of these names correspond to the species groups recognised in Clubiona sensu lato. We agree that Porrhoclubiona Lohmander, 1944 (= Clubionagenevensis-group) deserves a status of a separate genus and provide the diagnosis of this taxon. Three species of Porrhoclubiona that occur in Central Asia are surveyed, and two of them are described as new to science: P.laudata (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885), comb. n. (??, Xinjiang, Tibet, China), P.bosmansi sp. n. (??, Tajikistan), and P.moradmandi sp. n. (??, Fars, Iran). It seems that all records of P.genevensis L. Koch, 1866 from China refer to P.laudata. The records of Clubionavegeta Simon, 1918 from Tajikistan and Iran refer to P.bosmansi sp. n. and P.moradmandi sp. n., respectively. The following new combinations have been established: Porrhoclubionadecora (Blackwall, 1859), comb. n., P.diniensis (Simon, 1878), comb. n., P.leucaspis (Simon, 1932), comb. n., P.minor (Wunderlich, 1987), comb. n., P.pseudominor (Wunderlich, 1987), comb. n., P.pteronetoides (Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001), comb. n., P.vegeta (Simon, 1918), comb. n., P.viridula (Ono, 1989), comb. n., and P.wunderlichi (Mikhailov 1992), comb. n. (all ex. Clubiona). SEM study of the structure considered earlier as scopula in Clubiona and Porrhoclubiona reveals that it is represented by several lateral rows of movable macrosetae (spines) with a locking mechanism.

Project description:Forty-three new species of Nesticidae are described from China, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Madagascar, and two new junior synonyms are suggested. A new genus, Speleoticusgen. n., is described with Nesticus navicellatus Liu & Li, 2013 as the type species, and four species are transferfed from Nesticus, i.e., Speleoticus globosus (Liu & Li, 2013), comb. n., Speleoticus libo (Chen & Zhu, 2005), comb. n., Speleoticus navicellatus (Liu & Li, 2015), comb. n. and Speleoticus uenoi (Yaginuma, 1972), comb. n. The new species described in this paper belong to four genera and are: Hamus cornutussp. n. (♂♀), Hamus kangdingensissp. n. (♂), Hamus luzonsp. n. (♀), Hamus mangunensissp. n. (♂), Nescina kohisp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella baiseensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella baobabsp. n. (♂), Nesticella caecasp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella chongqingsp. n. (♀), Nesticella dazhuangensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella fuliangensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella gazuidasp. n. (♀), Nesticella gongshanensissp. n. (♀), Nesticella griswoldisp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella hongheensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella huomachongensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella jingposp. n. (♀), Nesticella kaohsiungensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella lisusp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella liuzhaiensissp. n. (♀), Nesticella nandanensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella phamisp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella potalasp. n. (♀), Nesticella qiaoqiensissp. n. (♀), Nesticella qiongensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella robustasp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella rongtangensissp. n. (♂), Nesticella sanchaheensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella sulawesisp. n. (♀), Nesticella sumatranasp. n. (♂), Nesticella tibetanasp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella vanlangsp. n. (♀), Nesticella wanzaiensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella xiongmaosp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella xixiasp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella yanbeiensissp. n. (♂♀), Nesticella yaosp. n. (♀), Nesticella zhiyuanisp. n. (♂♀), Pseudonesticus dafangensissp. n. (♂♀), Pseudonesticus miaosp. n. (♂♀), Pseudonesticus spinosussp. n. (♂♀), Pseudonesticus wumengensissp. n. (♀), Pseudonesticus ziyunensissp. n. (♂♀). Nesticella inthanoni (Lehtinen & Saaristo, 1980), syn. n. is synonymised with Nesticella mollicula (Thorell, 1898); Nesticella taiwan Tso & Yoshida, 2000, syn. n. is synonymised with Nesticella odonta (Chen, 1984). The female of Nesticella connectens Wunderlich, 1995, so far unknown, is described and recorded from Thailand. Nesticidae are reported from Madagascar for the first time. Nesticella nepalensis (Hubert, 1973) is recorded for the first time from China. Types of Nesticella odonta (Chen, 1984), Nesticella songi Chen & Zhu, 2004 and Nesticella yui Wunderlich & Song, 1995 are re-examined and photographed. The entire genus Nesticella is reviewed, and four species groups are recognised. DNA barcodes of the new species are obtained to confirm their correct identifications.

Project description:Cultivated grapevines (Vitis vinifera) lack resistance to powdery mildew (PM) with few exceptions. Resistance to this pathogen within V. vinifera has been reported in earlier studies and identified as the Ren1 locus in two Central Asian table grape accessions. Other PM-resistant cultivated varieties and accessions of the wild ancestor V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris were soon identified raising questions regarding the origin of the resistance. In this study, F1 breeding populations were developed with a PM susceptible V. vinifera subsp. vinifera breeding line and a PM-resistant subsp. sylvestris accession. Genotyping was carried out with five Ren1 locus linked SSR markers. A PM resistance locus explaining up to 96% of the phenotypic variation was identified in the same genomic position, where the Ren1 locus was previously reported. New SSR marker alleles linked with the resistance locus were identified. We report results of PM resistance in multiple accessions of subsp. sylvestris collected as seed lots or cuttings from five countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia. A total of 20 females from 11 seed lots and 19 males from nine seed lots collected from Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan were resistant to PM. Three male and one female plant collected as cuttings from Afghanistan and Iran were also resistant to PM. Allelic analysis of markers linked with the Ren1 locus in conjunction with disease evaluation data found a high diversity of allelic haplotypes, which are only possible via recombination events occurring over a long time period. Sequence analysis of two alleles of the SSR marker that cosegregates with the resistance found SNPs that were present in the wild progenitor and in cultivated forms. Variable levels of PM resistance among the tested accessions were also observed. These lines of evidence suggest that the powdery mildew fungus may have been present in Asia for a longer time than currently thought, giving the wild progenitor V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris time to coevolve with and develop resistance to this pathogen.
