Euphrasia coerulea Tausch (1834a: 445) was described based on specimens from the Isergebirge (now Jizerské hory Mountains in the Czech Republic) in the Western Sudetes. The species occurs in Central Europe, in the Hercynian and Carpathian provinces (Smejkal 1963: distribution map). The name E. coerulea was validated by Tausch (1834a: 445) by means of the shortest possible diagnosis: ‘ganz blaue Blumen’ as opposed to the white flowers characterizing E. officinalis var. alpestris Günther et al. (1824: 164) with which Tausch compared his new species. Junger and Engler (Junger 1867), followed by Kerner (1881: 44), Wettstein (1894: 95, 1896: 115), and Smejkal (1963: 28), considered E. coerulea as a nomen nudum, but acknowledged that it was published in Synopsis Florae Germanicae et Helveticae (Koch 1837: 546). They illegitimately renamed the species E. uechtritziana Junger & Engler (Junger 1867: 141), with “E. coerulea Tausch (pl. sel. Boh.) Koch’s Syn. etc. (1837)” cited in synonymy.

AbstractThe hamate dandelion section (Taraxacum sect. Hamata H. Øllg.) represents a morphologically tight group of taxa, distributed in the oceanic and sub-oceanic regions of Europe. In Central Europe, it is mostly confined to freshly moist meadows, as well as places in the shade within urban areas. The known distribution area in Europe until now extended towards the E part of the Czech Republic and S Poland. During the past six years, we have discovered an additional eleven localities of hamate dandelions in NW and N Slovakia, which represents a corrected south-eastern limit for the distribution area of this section. In this paper, we discuss seven recognized taxa (T. boekmanii, T. fusciflorum, T. hamatiforme, Taraxacum hamatum, T. lamprophyllum, T. pseudohamatum, and T. quadrans). We provide a determinative key to the Slovakian hamate dandelions, brief species descriptions, comments on their distribution, a distribution map of the section in Slovakia, as well as images of all of the newly found species.

AbstractTwo species of Spilogona, S. angustigena sp. n. and S. tatrica sp. n., are described from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, respectively. Both species are characterised by a gynaecomorphic shape of the male head, i.e., by a broad frons and the presence of a pair of orbital setae. Three species with this type of head are already known in the Palaearctic region: S. karelica (Tiensuu, 1935) from Russian Karelia, S. lapponica (Ringdahl, 1932) occurring in Norway and Sweden and redescribed here from material collected recently in Russia and Sweden, and S. spinicosta (Stein, 1907) from Tibet. All five species are compared and a new identification key is given. Apart from the external similarity of the male heads, the species under study are hardly closely related and their dichoptic heads may be explained as a homoplasy among similar ecomorpha.

<em>Rubus bohemo-polonicus</em> Travnicek &amp; Zieliński, a regional species belonging to series <em>Radula</em> (Focke) Focke, is described from the Czech Republic and Poland. It differs from closely related species (<em>R. radula</em> Weihe, <em>R. salisburgensis</em> Focke ex Caflisch and <em>R. indusiatus</em> Focke) mainly by the almost glabrous stems and consistently white petals. Illustrations and a distribution map of the new species are provided.

Extensive sampling of Pipunculidae in the frame of faunistic research in former Czechoslovakia as well as several other European countries over the last two decades has resulted in the discovery of several unknown species of this family. In this work, we present descriptions of three new species of the genus Pipunculus Latreille, 1802. Pipunculus adami Kozánek, sp. nov. and P. lindae Kozánek, sp. nov. are described from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, P. anatolicus Kozánek, sp. nov. is described on the basis of specimens from Turkey. The detailed redescription of the male of P. wolfi Kowarz, 1887, including the so far unknown male terminalia, is presented. The key taxonomic characters are visualized as interactive microphotographs provided with browsing software.

Fungivorous gall midges of the subfamilies Lestremiinae, Micromyinae, Winnertziinae and Porricondylinae were largely neglected in previous inventories of the Diptera faunas of the Czech and Slovak Republics. A taxonomic-faunistic study focusing on these subfamilies identified a total of 80 species, of which 49 are new records for the Czech Republic and 33 are new records for Slovakia. Species that have never before been found in central Europe are Aprionus dalarnensis Mamaev, 1998, A. oligodactylus Jaschhof, 2009, A. pigmentalis Mamaev, 1998, Asynapta inflata Spungis, 1988, Camptomyia gigantea Spungis, 1989, Cassidoides fulviventris (Mamaev, 1964), Claspettomyia hamata (Felt, 1907), Dendrepidosis longipennis (Spungis, 1981), Dicerura dispersa Jaschhof, 2013, Divellepidosis lutescens (Spungis, 1981), D. pallescens (Panelius, 1965), D. vulgata Jaschhof, 2013, Ekmanomyia svecica Jaschhof, 2013, Holoneurus ciliatus Kieffer, 1896, Monepidosis pectinatoides Jaschhof, 2013, Neocolpodia gukasiani (Mamaev, 1990), Neurolyga acuminata Jaschhof, 2009, Neurolyga interrupta Jaschhof, 2009, Parepidosis planistylata Jaschhof, 2013, Peromyia bidentata Berest, 1988, Porricondyla errabunda Mamaev, 2001, P. microgona Jaschhof, 2013, P. tetraschistica Mamaev, 1988, Schistoneurus irregularis Mamaev, 1964, Spungisomyia fenestrata Jaschhof, 2013, S. media (Spungis, 1981), Tetraneuromyia lamellata Spungis, 1987, T. lenticularis (Spungis, 1987), and Winnertzia parvispina Jaschhof, 2013. A new genus including a single new species of Porricondylini is described and named Glossostyles perspicua Jaschhof & Sikora gen. et sp. nov. on the basis of specimens collected in the Czech Republic and Sweden. Adult morphology suggests that Glossostyles gen. nov. is a close relative of Claspettomyia Grover, 1964.

Memories of wrongdoings are often viewed as an obstacle to reconciliation in divided societies. Is it due to the past or the present politics of the past? To examine the dilemma of essentialism versus presentism, this article investigates the impact of transitional justice on memories of wrongdoing. It theorizes that using different transitional justice strategies to deal with the same wrongdoing shapes memories in different ways. The theory is tested via vignette-based surveys in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, which adopted distinct lustration laws. The results show that wrongdoing is viewed through lustration laws, reflecting present power constellations, not history.
