“…The genetic proximity between the populations of A. almiriensis from the Aegean Sea and the Palude del Capitano might be indicative to an introduction in historic times. Cavraro et al () suggest, that A. fasciatus might have been introduced to some parts of Italy and these authors even postulate the lagoon of Messolongi in Greece as a potential source of the A. fasciatus population in the northernmost Adriatic Sea basin. The presence of goods imported from the eastern Aegean to the area of Palude del Capitano, including the island of Kos (where A. almiriensis is found in Tigaki lagoon), is well documented from the late Republican age (2nd–1st cent.…”

Aphanius almiriensis is the first time reported from Italy, where it occurs in the Palude del Capitano. The newly found population agree with Greek A. almiriensis in molecular (COI) and morphological characters. Aphanius almiriensis might be native to the the Palude del Capitano, which is outside from the species known range in the Aegean Sea basin. It might also have been imported with goods from the eastern Aegean in the late Republican age and the late Imperial period. The diagnostic morphological characters as well as the distribution and conservation status of A. almiriensis is discussed. A distribution map and associated, georeferenced database of A. almiriensis as well as of A. fasciatus are presented.

“…Due to the large distribution area, a continuous genflow was expected to occur between the many coastal populations. However, Triantafyllidis et al (), Ferrito et al (), Geiger et al (), Buj et al () as well as Cavraro et al () found a moderate molecular diversity within A. fasciatus suggesting different, isolated population groups.…”

“…Aphaniidae is a family of killifishes found only in the Old World which displays a high degree of adaptability to diverse habitats as well as high population divergence rates (e.g. Buj et al, 2015; Cavraro et al, 2017; Ferrito, Mannino, Pappalardo, & Tigano, 2007). Until recently all its representatives were assigned to a single genus, Aphanius Nardo, 1827.…”

New osteological and morphological data of four species ofAphaniops(Teleostei; Aphaniidae)

et al. 2020

Aphaniops dispar, widespread around the Arabian Peninsula, was recently separated in four species (A. dispar, A. hormuzensis, A. kruppi, A. stoliczkanus) by molecular results and colour patterns, but the morphological differences are small and call for more studies. Here we report differences in skeleton and median fin osteology of these species. In addition, we introduce the term 'modified caudal vertebra' to describe caudal vertebrae that are not directly associated with caudal ray support but are visibly modified from a 'usual' caudal vertebra. Aphaniops hormuzensis, an endemic species to southern Iran, has a significantly higher number of modified caudal vertebrae compared to the more widespread A. stoliczkanus and A. dispar, and also to A. kruppi. This is a surprising result as the caudal skeleton and related structures of the posterior caudal vertebral column have yielded successful results in separating between families or genera, but there are only a few studies that have examined these structures for their role in species diagnosis. Our study also highlights that state‐of‐the‐art methods in X‐raying and improved staining procedures assist in the discrimination of superficially similar species.

“…González-Wangüemert and Vergara-Chen (2014) studying Pomatoschistusmarmoratus (Risso, 1810) found significant diversity within Mar Menor lagoon, but Cavraro et al (2017) did not find genetic diversity within the Venice lagoon for Aphaniusfasciatus (Valenciennes, 1821). Both studies found significant diversity between lagoon and marine populations of the same species.…”

A group of small bivalves inhabiting Indian brackish-water estuaries and lagoons (known locally as backwaters), variously assigned to Corbula, Cuspidaria, and Sphenia, are reviewed and, based on shell characters, shown to be congeneric. Molecular (COI) and morphological data indicate that this group belongs to the family Myidae. Furthermore, the combined data suggest that these Indian myids are a sister taxon of the genus Sphenia. The Indian material studied herein exhibits a functional morphology typical of infaunal bivalves, whereas typical Sphenia are nestling and epibyssate. A new genus, Indosphenia, is thus erected for the Indian group and includes five species, one of which is named in this study.Indospheniakayalum Oliver, Hallan & Jayachandran, gen. et sp. n. is described from the Cochin Backwater on the western coast of India. Cuneocorbulacochinensis (Preston, 1916) is transferred to Indosphenia. Additionally, the west coast taxa I.abbreviata (Preston, 1907), I.abbreviatachilkaensis (Preston, 1911) and I.sowerbyi (EA Smith, 1893) are recognised herein. Corbulaalcocki Preston, 1907, Corbulagracilis Preston, 1907, Corbulacalcaria Preston, 1907 and Corbulapfefferi Preston, 1907 are placed in synonymy with I.abbreviata, and Cuspidariaannandalei Preston, 1915 is synonymised with I.abbreviatachilkaensis.
