The final stadium larva of Megalestes heros Needham, 1930 is redescribed and illustrated in detail. It is characterized by having a long and cylindrical body, a very long prementum with two end hooks of unequal size on lateral lobe, parallel wing sheaths, long and slender legs, female ovipositor short reaching the basal third of S10, and based on a distinct abdominal color pattern. The major diagnostic characters of the larvae of the genus Megalestes are as follows: (1) body smooth and slender, with long abdomen and leaf-shaped caudal gills; (2) antenna filiform, seven-segmented,third segment longest; (3) median cleft present in median lobe of prementum; lateral lobe with two end hooks of unequal size, the inner one being longer and larger than the outer, movable hook without setae; (4) wing sheaths parallel to each other.

A new species of the genus Hydaticus Leach, 1817, subgenus Prodaticus Sharp, 1882 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) has been discovered in the mountains of Cerros del Sira, Peru. It is here described as Hydaticus (Prodaticus) hauthi sp. nov.. It is morphologically similar to the Peruvian H. panguana Megna, Balke, Apenborn & Hendrich, 2019. The new species differs from H. panguana by its almost complete black dorsal surface and the shape of the median lobe. Diagnostic characters of both species, including illustrations of male genitalia and habitus, are presented, and a modified key for the 12 Neotropical species is provided.

Distributional Information

Pisidia longimana (Risso, 1816) and P. bluteli (Risso, 1816), both described from Nice, France, have been considered each other’s synonyms or have been validated depending on successive taxonomic opinions. The validity of both in respect to P. longicornis (Linnaeus, 1767) has also been contradicted a number of times. The current lack of clarity in the use of the names P. longicornis, P. longimana and P. bluteli has resulted in nomenclatural instability, but also in unreliability and miscommunication as regards the available ecological and distributional information. The validity of P. bluteli and P. longimana is revisited herein based on a large number of specimens (241 males, 190 females and 33 juveniles) from many different localities. The latter species is confirmed as a junior synonym of the former, whereas P. bluteli and P. longicornis are herein considered separate species. Diagnostic characters and morphological variations are discussed and illustrated.

Two new species of leucosiid crabs of the genusUrnalanaGalil, 2005, are described from Taiwan.Urnalana erytheman. sp. is distinguished from the superficially similarU. angulata(Rathbun, 1911) in the shape of the apical process of the male first gonopod, which is beak-shaped and curved ventrally in the former, but sickle-shaped in the latter.Urnalana hirsutan. sp. differs from the superficially similarU. elatulaGalil, 2005 in its setose carapace and the shape of the apical process of the male first gonopod, which is club-like in the former, vs. dagger-shaped and curved in the latter. Two species are recorded for the first time from Taiwan:Raylilia uenoi(Takeda, 1995), and the recently describedCoralliocryptus caementaKomai & Ng, 2012. Three additional species,Arcania sagamiensisSakai, 1969,Urnalana purarensis(Ovaere, 1987) andOreotlos latus(Borradaile, 1903) are recorded for the second time. Diagnostic characters, colour photos and distributional information of these species are presented in this paper.

This paper revises the systematics and taxonomy of genus Danacea Laporte de Castelnau, 1838 in the Balkan Peninsula. The territory here considered includes Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Serbia, Turkey (European). Determination keys, drawings of the median lobe of the aedeagus, description and distributional information are reported for each species. Twelve new species or subspecies are described: <em>D. angelinii </em>n. sp. of Ipiros (Greece), <em>D. brattiana </em>n. sp. of Bracˇ island (Croatia), <em>D. colligens</em> n. sp. of the Peloponnese (Greece), <em>D. iadrensis</em> n. sp. of the Zadar area (Croatia), <em>D. kydoniae</em> n. sp. of western Crete, <em>D. latipennis</em> ssp. occidua n. of western Crete, <em>D. messenica</em> n. sp. of the Peloponnese, <em>D. montalbidi</em> n. sp. of western Crete, <em>D. oliveti </em>n. sp. of Fokida (Greece), <em>D. pagasaica</em> n. sp. of Thessalia (Greece), <em>D. quintilis</em> n. sp. of Bulgaria, <em>D. sithoniae</em> n. sp. of the Halkidiki peninsula (Greece). Three changes of status are proposed: <em>D. cephalonica</em> Pic, 1901, which was described as a variety of <em>D. mutata</em> Pic, 1895, is a good species; <em>D. purkynei </em>Obenberger, 1916 described as a good species, is a subspecies of <em>D. iners</em> Kiesenwetter; 1859; <em>D. maculipennis</em> Pic, 1899 described as a variety of <em>D. marginata</em> (Kuester, 1851), is a good species. The following new synonymies are proposed: D. cylindricollis Schilsky, 1897, <em>D. insularis</em> Schilsky, 1897 and <em>D. maculicornis</em> Pic, 1914: all synonyms of <em>D. bleusei</em> Pic, 1895; <em>D. cervina</em> ssp. montenegrina Apfelbeck, 1911, <em>D. cervina</em> ssp. vulpina Apfelbeck, 1911, <em>D</em>. <em>intermedia</em> Apfelbeck, 1911, <em>D. valonensis</em> Apfelbeck, 1911: all synonyms of <em>D. cervina</em> (Kuester; 1850); <em>D. obscura</em> Schilsky, 1897 synonym of <em>D. championi</em> Marseul, 1878;<em> D. ganglbaueri </em>Prochàzka, 1894 synonym of <em>D. cretica</em> Kiesenwetter, 1859; <em>D. bulgarica</em> Pic, 1902, <em>D. monastirensis</em> Pic, 1917,<em> D. opulenta </em>Schilsky, 1897, <em>D</em>. <em>posterecta</em> Pic, 1902, <em>D. rambouseki</em> Roubal, 1909, <em>D. serbica </em>Kiesenwetter, 1863: all synonyms of<em> D. iners</em> Kiesenwetter, 1859; <em>D. winneguthi </em>Apfelbeck, 1911 synonym of <em>D. major </em>Pic, 1902; <em>D. amabilis</em> Sahlberg, 1903 synonym of <em>D. marginata</em> (Kuester; 1851); <em>D. zharadniki</em> Nigrin, 1986 synonym of <em>D. maculipennis</em> Pic, 1899; <em>D. bosnica</em> Pic, 1913 synonym of <em>D. nigritarsis </em>ssp. nigritarsis (Kuester, 1850); <em>D. consimilis</em> Schilsky, 1897 synonym of <em>D</em>. <em>oertzeni</em> Schilsky, 1897; <em>D. albanica</em> Apfelbeck, 1911 synonym of <em>D. pallidipalpis</em> Abeille, 1894; <em>D. cervina</em> var. diversipes Pic, 1936 synonym of <em>D. thessalonicensis</em> Apfelbeck, 1911;<em> D. syrensis</em> Pic, 1910 synonym of <em>D. vitticollis</em> Schilsky, 1897. The following names have not been associated with certainty to a known species and remain doubtful: <em>D. krueperi </em>ssp. varipes Schilsky, 1897, <em>D. limbata </em>Schilsky, 1897, <em>D. parnassia</em> Schilsky, 1897, <em>D. rostrata</em> Prochàzka, 1894, <em>D. shardagensis </em>Apfelbeck, 1918. However the Balkan peninsula has not been sufficiently explored, several new species are expected to remain undiscovered and the distribution range of the known species has not been sufficiently defined.

The first part of the paper includes an overview of genus Aplocnemus and a discussion of the related subgenera; as a result one of them is placed in synonymy: Holcopleura Schilsky, 1894 = Aplocnemus (Aplocnemus) Stephens, 1830. The second part deals with the 16 Aplocnemus species found to live in Greece. Out of these, 9 are fully discussed, with descriptions and drawings of dissected structures (median lobe, tegmen, last sternite). The remaining 7 have been already – and rather recently – considered and illustrated in previous papers: for them only new taxonomic and/or distributional information are herewith supplied. One new taxon is described: Aplocnemus henrici sp. n from northern Greece and Bulgaria. 9 new synonymies, at species level, are proposed: A. macedonicus Pic, 1922 = A. (Aplocnemus) basalis (Küster, 1849); A. pristocerus Kiesenwetter, 1859 = A. (Aplocnemus) caelatus (Brullé, 1832); A. brevissimus Pic, 1908 = A. (Aplocnemus) quercicola Mulsant and Rey, 1968; A. kiesenwetteri Schilsky, 1897 = A. (Aplocnemus) rufipes Miller, 1862; A. turcicus Schilsky, 1897 = A. (Aplocnemus) reitteri Schilsky, 1894; A. cribripennis Pic, 1921 = A. (Aplocnemus) serratus (Brullé, 1832); A. latior Pic, 1908, A. thessalicus Pic, 1908 and A. atricornis Pic, 1921 = A. (Diplambe) abietum Kiesenwetter, 1859.

AbstractA new species of carabid beetles, Pterostichus hejkali sp. n. is described from Northwest Greece (type locality: Epirus District, Ioannina Prefecture, Ioannina Lake environs). Diagnostic characters include distinctive shape of the median lobe of aedeagus, of right paramere and of sexual modification on last visible sternum in males as well as shape of pronotum and size of body. Members of the new species are most similar to P. minor. A key to the identification of the Balkan taxa of Pseudomaseus is presented.

Morphological Differences

AbstractPopulations of Monochamus scutellatus (Say) were found to differ morphologically from populations of M. oregonensis LeConte in color of femora, mouthparts, and antennae; elytral rugosity and shape of scutellum. The genitalia of the two entities differed slightly in the female. Alberta populations of both entities hybridized freely in the laboratory, producing a fertile F1 generation, which was successfully crossed with each parental species. Because of the lack of reproductive isolation between the allopatric entities, M. oregonensis is synonymized under M. scutellatus, but given subspecies status because of the morphological differences. Diagnostic characters of each subspecies are given.
