A new genus and three new species of milliped of the family Chelodesmidae are described. Relationships with the genus Leiomodesmus Loomis, 1938, and Granmadesmus Perez-Asso, 1990, from Cuba are defined, and also with Biaporus Loomis, 1941 and Synecheporus Loomis, 1941, from the Dominican Republic.

The subfamily Trigonurinae Reiche, 1866 is a monogeneric subfamily of the large family Staphylinidae with an Holarctic distribution. The genus was the subject of a revision (Blackwelder, 1941). Seven species are known from northern America (Blackwelder, 1941; Herman, 2001), two species from the western Palaearctic and two, recently described species from China (Schülke & Smetana, 2015; Kishimot...

Accurate species delimitation is fundamental to biology. Traditionally, species were delimited based on morphological characters, sometimes leading to taxonomic uncertainty in morphologically conserved taxa. Recently, multiple taxonomically challenging cases have benefited from integrative taxonomy-an approach that highlights congruence among different disciplines and invokes evolutionary expla...

6 Dodge originally used "A" and "a" to designate the two sex types in Neurospora crassa. Lindegren later substituted the symbols "+" and "-" for these. Because of the desirability of using the symbol + for the normal allele of a gene and also to designate a positive experimental result, we prefer Dodge's original designations. 4 Neither conversion of pimelic acid to p-aminobenzoic acid by the n...
