Erethizon dorsatum papillomavirus 1 (EdPV1) and Erethizon dorsatum papillomavirus 2 (EdPV2) are associated with cutaneous papillomas in North American porcupines ( Erethizon dorsatum). This study defined gross, histopathologic, and molecular characteristics of viral papillomas in 10 North American porcupines submitted to the New York State Animal Health Diagnostic Center. Investigation for the presence of EdPV1 and EdPV2 DNA via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed in 9 of the 10 (90.0%) porcupines, and all porcupines were investigated for the detection and localization of EdPV1 and EdPV2 E6 and E7 nucleic acid via chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed in 2 porcupines. Papillomas were diagnosed on the muzzle ( n = 4), caudal dorsum ( n = 1), upper lip ( n = 1), chin ( n = 1), gingiva ( n = 2), and nasal planum ( n = 1). Histologically, the lesions consisted of hyperplastic epidermis or epithelium with orthokeratotic keratin, prominent keratohyalin granules, and intranuclear inclusion bodies. PCR identified EdPV1 in 6 of 9 samples and EdPV2 in the remaining 3 samples. NGS resulted in 100% genome coverage of EdPV1 and 76.20% genome coverage of EdPV2 compared with GenBank reference sequences, with 99.8% sequence identity to the complete EdPV2 L1 gene of a novel subtype recently identified in France. Hybridization patterns in 9 of the 10 (90.0%) porcupines were characterized by strong nuclear signals in the superficial epidermis, with strong nuclear and punctate cytoplasmic signals in the stratum spinosum and basale. In one animal, CISH suggested dual EdPV1 and EdPV2 infection. Zoe E.

The Neotropical Polysphincta dizardi species-group is revised. We describe seven new species from South America: P. bonita sp. nov., P. cosnipata sp. nov., P. inca sp. nov., P. macroepomia sp. nov., P. organensis sp. nov., P. pichincha sp. nov., and P. teresa sp. nov. In addition, we provide a diagnosis and an identification key to all species of the group.

Brazil (Amazonas state). Etymology. Named after host. Biological note. Parasitoid of Wagneriana sp. (Araneidae). Comments. Acrotaphus wagnerianae sp. n. closely resembles A. franklini Gauld and A. homeofranklini P��dua by having parts of the mesosoma black, but differs from both by having tarsal claw with lobe elongated longitudinally, apex of claw overtaking the posterior margin of lobe (Fig. 1D), margin of the gena weakly concave behind the eyes (Fig. 1C), hind leg orange, with distal 0.4 of femur, tibia and tarsus black (Fig. 1A), or males with hind leg orange with distal 0.8 of femur, tibia and tarsus black (Fig. 1E). In comparison, gena flat and tarsal claw with quadrangular lobe in both A. franklini and A. homeofranklini, and hind leg entirely black or black with parts of tibia brownish in A. franklini, and hind leg entirely black or with proximal half of the femur brownish in A. homeofranklini. Web modification. Although we did not observe a normal web in the field, it is known that normal webs of Wagneriana spiders are characterized by a vertical two-dimensional orb web, with several radii and sticky spirals. In addition, there is no retreat or barrier tangle in these webs (Levi 1991; Alay��n 2011). However, the cocoon web built by the parasitized individual of Wagneriana sp. had no sticky spirals and contained a barrier tangle on both sides of the hub, resulting in an irregular tangle of non-sticky threads (Figs 2 A���C). We also observed that the web had a vertical hub (Fig. 2B), which does not present hub spirals, although it was possible to identify some radii converging to the web hub. Lines of cocoon webs were attached to the vegetation at several points (Fig. 2A)., Published as part of P��dua, Diego G. & Kloss, Thiago G., 2020, A new species of Acrotaphus Townes (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) from the Brazilian Amazon, with notes on its host spider behavioral modification, pp. 161-168 in Zootaxa 4810 (1) on pages 163-165, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4810.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/3937023, {"references":["Levi, H.
