A systematic revision of Mcateella is given including the description of seven new species: M. austera, sp. nov., M. coolgardie, sp. nov., M. esperancensis, sp. nov., M. exocarposa, sp. nov., M. kwoki, sp. nov., M. reidi, sp. nov. and M. schuhi, sp. nov. The following species are redescribed: M. elongata Hacker M. gibber Drake, M. interioris Hacker and M. splendida Drake. Mcateella is defined as a monophyletic group on the basis of clavate guard setae and the stridulatory apparatus. Phylogenetic analysis of the Piesmatidae recognised Eopiesma as the sister-taxon relative to the remaining extant Piesmatidae. The ingroup relationships of Mcateella contained one polytomy. Miespa was found to be the sister taxon to Mcateella, positing a transantarctic relationship. Host plant analysis indicates that Mcateella are not all Acacia specialists as stated in the literature but feed on a wide range of angiosperms.

Distributional Information

A systematic revision of Plochionocerus Dejean, 1833 and Agrodes Nordmann, 1837 (Staphylinidae: Xantholinini) is conducted. Based on a phylogenetic analysis, the genus Agrodes, which includes A. conicicollis and A. elegans, and appears as the sister taxon to Plochionocerus, is revalidated. The genus Renda was found to be the sister taxon of Agrodes plus Plochionocerus. Plochionocerus leprieuri is transferred to Renda (comb. nov.). Plochionocerus (sensu stricto) is a monophyletic genus supported by six synapomorphies, but relationships of its species are not resolved because of the high proportion of homoplastic characters. Keys to the genera Renda, Plochionocerus and Agrodes, and to the species of the two latter genera are provided. Plochionocerus and Agrodes stat. rev. are redescribed, and diagnoses for their species are given. Eight new species of Plochionocerus are described: P. ashei, P. gracilis, P. hermani, P. modestus, P. newtonorum, P. pronotalis, P. reticularis and P. transversalis. Based on the study of type specimens, 17 new synonymies are proposed for species of Plochionocerus and Agrodes: Plochionocerus fulgens (Fabricius, 1793) = P. violaceus (Olivier, 1795) syn. n., = P. amazonicus (Sharp, 1876) syn. n., = P. carinatus (Bernhauer, 1916) syn. n., = P. auripennis (Bernhauer, 1927) syn. n.; P. janthinus (Erichson, 1847) = P. peruvianus (Bernhauer, 1907) syn. n.; P. simplicicollis (Waterhouse, 1879) = P. basalis (Sharp, 1885) syn. n., = P. mandibularis (Sharp, 1885) syn. n., = P. pollens (Sharp, 1885) syn. n., = P. nordmanni (Fauvel, 1901) syn. n.; P. discedens (Sharp, 1885) = P. nevermanni (Bernhauer, 1942) syn. n.; P. humeralis (Sharp, 1885) = P. kayseri (Bernhauer, 1927) syn. n.; P. puncticeps (Sharp, 1885) = P. lautus (Casey, 1906) syn. n.; P. impressipennis (Sharp, 1891) = P. punctipennis (Bernhauer, 1916) syn. n.; P. igneus (Fauvel, 1901) = P. magnificus (Bernhauer, 1911) syn. n.; Agrodes elegans Nordmann, 1837 = P. longicornis (Sharp, 1885) syn. n., = P. melancholicus (Schubert, 1911) syn. n.; A. conicicollis Sharp, 1876 = P. longiceps (Sharp, 1876) syn. n. Lectotypes are designated for P. humeralis, P. impressipennis and P. simplicicollis. Biological and distributional information is given, and 24 first country records are reported.

The Sericothripinae is a largely tropical group of about 140 species that are often strikingly bicoloured and have complex surface sculpture, but for which the biology is poorly known. Although 15 genera have been described in this subfamily, only three of these are currently recognised, with five new generic synonymies indicated here. In Australia, Sericothrips Haliday is introduced, with one European species deployed as a weed biological control agent. Hydatothrips Karny comprises 43 species worldwide, with six species found in Australia, of which two are shared with Southeast Asia, and four are associated with the native vine genus, Parsonsia. Neohydatothrips John comprises 96 species worldwide, with nine species in Australia, of which one is shared with Southeast Asia and two are presumably introduced from the Americas. Illustrated keys are provided to the three genera and 16 species from Australia, including six new species [Hydatothrips aliceae; H. bhattii; H. williamsi; Neohydatothrips barrowi, N. bellissi, N. katherinae]. One new specific synonym is recognised [Hydatothrips haschemi Girault (=H. palawanensis Kudo)], also four new generic synonyms [Neohydatothrips John (=Faureana Bhatti; Onihothrips Bhatti; Sariathrips Bhatti; Papiliothrips Bhatti); Sericothrips Haliday (=Susserico- thrips Han)].

A New Species

Allozyme variation in 31 to 50 presumptive loci of 12 populations of European midwife toads of the genus Alytes show appreciable genetic divergences (DNei from 0.29 to 0.72) among four groups. These groups correspond to A. cisternasii Boscá, 1879, A. obstetricans (Laurenti, 1768), A. muletensis (Sanchiz & Adrover, 1979), and a new species from the Betic mountains described here as A. dickhilleni n. sp. Smaller divergences among geographic groups of populations of A. obstetricans (up to DNei = 0.17) support the existence of three geographic units in Europe corresponding to the previously recognized subspecies A. o. obstetricans and A. o. boscai Lataste, 1879, plus a third one described here under the designation of A. o. almogavarii n. ssp. The analysis of morphological variation among taxa using principal component and discriminant analysis shows a remarkable similarity between A. dickhilleni and A. obstetricans; these are cryptic species. A phylogenetic analysis of allozyme data using A. cisternasii as the outgroup supports a sister taxon relationship between A. muletensis and A. dickhilleni, with A. obstetricans the sister taxon to this clade. The historical biogeography of the genus is discussed.

Pycnandra Benth. (Sapotaceae) is the largest endemic genus in New Caledonia and is subdivided into six subgenera. An addition of five species are here described in four subgenera, viz. P. comptonioides Swenson & Munzinger, P. kouakouensis Swenson & Munzinger, P. montana Swenson & Munzinger, P. poindimiensis Swenson & Munzinger and P. versicolor Swenson & Munzinger. Another seven to nine taxa are discussed but remain undescribed owing to the lack of adequate collections (and may remain undescribed pending the interpretation of the Nagoya Protocol). Pycnandra is characterised by a non-areolate higher leaf venation, sepals glabrous on the inner surface, no staminodes, and a single-seeded fruit. The members occur in a wide range of habitats and most species have very specific substrate requirements, growing on ultramafic, non-ultramafic or calcareous substrates. Almost 40 species are restricted to ultramafic substrates and many are now at risk of extinction because of deforestation, deliberately set fires and mining. We provide a systematic synopsis with keys to subgenera and species, phenology, substrate preferences, altitudinal ranges and preliminary IUCN Red List assessments for all described taxa. Four of the five new species are assessed as Critically Endangered. Pycnandra versicolor is in urgent need of conservation management beacuse its entire distribution is inside an active mine on the Koniambo massif.

A New Species

Thirty-nine species of sawfly (Symphyta) are recorded for the first time in Bulgaria. Most of these were collected during early spring of 2018, in the south-east of the country (Burgas and Varna Provinces). Empriaaridicola Macek & Prous, sp. nov. is described as new to science from specimens collected in several central, east and south European countries. Lectotypes are designated for Poecilosomaparvula Konow, 1892, Empriapravei Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1925 and E.pseudoklugi Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929. Empriapravei and Sciapteryxbyzantina Benson, 1968 are at present only known in Europe from the coastal zone of the Black Sea. The new Bulgarian records of Hoplocampacantoti Chevin, 1986 and Neomessasteusloffi (Konow, 1892) represent large extensions in their recorded ranges, previously comprising respectively only northern France, and north-eastern Germany. Possible host plant associations are noted for several species, based on observations of adults.
