Two new species of Galium (Rubiaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula

Abstract—Two new diploid species, Aira minoricensis and Aira hercynica, are described and illustrated, along with chromosome counts, risk assessment, distribution and habitat, phenology, and comparisons with morphologically similar species. A comparative table and a key for the species of Aira for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands are provided to assist in the identification of these overlooked species, and their relationships to other taxa are discussed.

First Time

Six species of Eutardigrada are recorded from Portugal; four of them, Macrobiotus crenulatus Richters, 1904, Hypsibius seychellensis Pilato, Binda & Lisi, 2006, Diphascon (Diphascon) pingue (Marcus, 1936) and D. (Diphascon) patanei Binda & Pilato, 1971 are recorded for the first time in Portugal. Two species, Minibiotus orthofasciatus sp. nov. and Bertolanius (new name of Amphibolus) portucalensis sp. nov. are new to science. Minibiotus orthofasciatus sp. nov. is one of the species of the genus with three macroplacoids, microplacoid and cuticular pores forming transverse bands. The new species differs from all existing species by one or more of the following characters: distribution of the pores, shape of the pores, absence of dots on the legs, level of insertion of the stylet supports on the buccal tube. To the new species is attributed an unembryonated egg similar to those of Minibiotus intermedius (Plate, 1888), M. poricinctus Claxton, 1998, M. floriparus Claxton, 1998, and M. weglarskae Michalczyk, Kaczmarek & Claxton, 2005 but different from them in some details. Bertolanius portucalensis sp. nov. is very similar to the other species of the genus, but it differs from them in having very small cuticular tubercles. From some of them it differs by characters of the buccopharyngeal apparatus and/or of the eggs. This is the first record of the genus and of the Eohypsibiidae family in the Iberian Peninsula.

Two New Species

Two new species of the genus Geocharis Ehlers, 1883 (Carabidae: Trechinae, Anillini) are described (Geocharis barcorabelo n. sp. and Geocharis antheroi n. sp.) from the northern region of Portugal (Iberian Peninsula). This work provides diagnostic characters for these species and, in particular, for the structure of male genitalia. The affinities with other known species namely their putative closest relatives, as well as ecological and biogeographical comments are also included. A key for the identification of the males of the Geocharis species found north of the Tejo River in Portugal is also provided. New chorologist data on other endogean carabids from Portugal are also included.

Two New Species

We describe two new species: Gianius navarroi n. sp. (Phallodrilinae) and Isochaetides gianii n. sp. (Tubificinae), which were discovered during investigations on the groundwater oligochaete fauna in northern Spain. The present study contributes to the knowledge of the stygobiont oligochaete species in the Iberian Peninsula, which includes 21 species so far. Mature specimens of Lophochaeta ignota Štolc, 1886 were also collected at some sites, and are used to supplement the limited description of the reproductive organs known for the species to date. Taxonomy of the genus Lophochaeta Štolc, 1886 is discussed.

Two New Species

A re-assessment of spionid specimens collected from coasts around the Iberian Peninsula and initially assigned to Dispio uncinata Hartman, 1951 and Prionospio multibranchiata Berkeley, 1927 resulted in the recognition of two new species from the genera Dispio and Prionospio: Dispio glandulosa sp. nov. and Prionospio (Minuspio) sanmartini sp. nov. In addition, the examination of specimens collected near the type locality of P. multibranchiata led to a re-description of this species. The specimens examined do not correspond to the material collected from the Iberian Peninsula and it is unlikely that P. multibranchiata is found in northern European waters.

Phyllolabis eiroae sp. nov. and P. martinhalli sp. nov. are described from the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. These two remarkable species were collected using carrion-baited traps, running during winter, in several localities of Madrid province (Spain). The two new species are well differentiated from the other Phyllolabis Osten Sacken species recorded from the Iberian Peninsula, P. savtshenkoi Theowald, and those from the west Palaearctic. An identification key to differentiate the three Phyllolabis species occurring in the Iberian Peninsula is provided. The first images of P. savtshenkoi, based on the holotype and a male specimen recorded from a cave located in Jaén (Spain), are also provided.
