Glyphidocera Novercae is a pale brownish yellow moth discovered in Costa Rica in 2005 by David Adamski. A member of the Autostichidae family the moth was located at 5 collection sites. G. Novercae (From Latin Noverca: stepmother) differs from Glyphidocera tibiae [1] (Tibia: meaning reed pipe) also discovered by Adamski at similar collection sites. G. tibiae however has an absence of sex scales between abdominal terga 2–3 in the male and other differing attributes. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Taxonomic treatment</span>

Taxonomic treatment refers to a section in a scientific publication documenting the features of a related group of organisms or taxa. Treatments have been the building blocks of how data about taxa are provided, ever since the beginning of modern taxonomy by Linnaeus 1753 for plants and 1758 for animals. Each scientifically described taxon has at least one taxonomic treatment. In today’s publishing, a taxonomic treatment tag

Eoscansor is a species of small varanopid amniote that lives from the upper Pennsylvanian subperiod in northern New Mexico, United States 305 million years ago. The species Eoscansor cobrensis was 24.5 centimeters long and weighed 58.3 grams. The tetrapods teeth indicated that it was insectivorous. The small size and grasping limbs means that was E. cobrensis highly agile and likely arboreal. The name Eoscansor means "dawn climber", derived from Greek with "Eo" meaning dawn and "scansor" meaning climber. E. cobrensis is currently the oldest specialised climbing tetrapod animal pushing back the original record by 15 million years. The species was discovered in the El Cobre Canyon Formation in northern New Mexico near the village of Chama in 2005 but was not prepared until 2015. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 pushed study back until 2022 where it was described as a new genus and species. Eoscansor fossil holotype is part of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS) collection.

<i>Nepenthes candalaga</i> Tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines

Nepenthes candalaga is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Mt. Candalaga, in the Municipality of Maragusan, Davao de Oro, island of Mindanao, Philippines. This bringing the total number of Nepenthes species in this island to 38, making Mindanao the island with the highest concentration of Nepenthes species in the Philippines. Nepenthes candalaga is closely allied to N. justinae but differs in having a lamina with 2 – 3 longitudinal veins that are parallel with the midrib. Additionally, the orbicular lid of the pitchers, the lid spur tip that is non-bifid, the triangular lid appendage, the short banner-shaped wings below the peristome that covers only a sixth of the trap's anterior eventually becoming ridges towards the trap base, and the absent upper pitcher rim that is widest near the peristome differentiates this species from N. justinae. The species is assessed as Critically endangered due to the threats of deforestation and habitat loss without legislative protection.

The Mozambique long-fingered bat is a species of bat within the family Miniopteridae. Its distribution is in Africa within countries such as Kenya, Namibia, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, and other countries in East Africa at elevations of 420 to 1800 meters. It is nocturnal and uses uses caves and mines during the day as roosts. The holotype was collected in a mist net that was placed over a swimming pool at the Bamboo Inn, on the outskirts of Nampula, at an altitude of 420 meters. A paratype was also caught shortly afterwards in the same mist net settup. The species name mossambicus stands for the country the type series was collected in, Mozambique.
