The genus Centaurea Linnaeus (1753: 909) (Asteraceae) comprises a large number of taxa mainly occurring in the Mediterranean region and southwest Asia (Susanna & Garcia-Jacas 2007). Centaurea seridis Linnaeus (1753: 915) is distributed from south Europe (Spain incl. Balearic Islands, Italy incl. Sicily, France, Albania and Greece) to northwest Africa (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). From a nomenclatural standpoint, Centaurea seridis has not been typified (Jarvis 2007: 402). This paper proposes the designation of a lectotype for this Linnaean name, based on the analysis of the protologue and original material.

Centaurea Linnaeus (1753: 909) (Asteraceae) comprises a large number of taxa mainly occurring in the Mediterranean region and southwest Asia (Susanna & Garcia-Jacas 2007). The former wide concept of Centaurea resulted in a polyphyletic assemblage, and it has been recently split into several putatively monophyletic genera Centaurea, Psephellus Cass. and Rhaponticoides Vaill. (Wagenitz & Hellwig 2000; Greuter 2003; Hellwig 2004; Susanna & Garcia-Jacas 2007, 2009).         Centaurea sibirica Linnaeus (1753: 913) is spreading from S Russia to W Siberia and Central Asia (Wagenitz & Hellwig 2000), it is one of the species of sixty-nine names in Centaurea described by Linnaeus and is currently accepted as Psephellus sibiricus (L.) Wagenitz (Wagenitz & Hellwig 2000: 37). However, from a nomenclatural standpoint, Centaurea sibirica has not been typified (Jarvis 2007, Ferrer-Gallego et al. 2014a, 2014b, 2014c, Altınordu & Ferrer-Gallego 2015, Ferrer-Gallego & Altınordu 2016, Iamonico & Peruzzi 2016). This paper designates a lectotype for C. sibirica based on the protologue and consultation of Linnaeus’s original material.

Faunistic Composition

The first faunistic review of the caddisflies (Trichoptera) from the Iberian Peninsula, using as a reference the Limnofauna Europaea, was presented in 1987 and included 267 species. A comprehensive faunistic, nomenclatorial and systematically revised checklist of the Iberian caddsiflies was given in 1992 and included 294 species for the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands.      Since 1992 our knowledge of the faunistic composition of some peninsular areas, especially of the meridional half and the Mediterranean region have considerably improved. It is now possible to update significantly the knowledge of caddisflies in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. We critically reviewed the literature data and supplemented these with our recent new records. We also take into consideration some unpublished collections of the authors from different Iberian regions.      The checklist now contains 342 species (327, 185, 60 and 18 species from the Spanish mainland, the Portuguese mainland, Andorra, and the Balearic Islands, respectively), belonging to 75 genera and 22 families. Together, 4 families, i.e., Limnephilidae (23.7%), Hydroptilidae (14.9%), Leptoceridae (10.5%) and Rhyacophilidae (9.3 %), comprise 57% of the Iberian fauna.

Centaurea Linnaeus (1753: 909) (Asteraceae) is a widely distributed genus from the Mediterranean region to southwest Asia which includes approximately 250 species (Susanna & Garcia-Jacas 2009). It contains annual, biennial and perennial herbs, less often shrubs, with usually unarmed leaves and very variable scarious or spiny bract appendages that represent the first trait used for systematics within the genus.

This article explores the representations of French diplomats and military chiefs on the methods of ensuring security of Mediterranean communications against the background of unfolding Austrian crisis in the spring of 1938. Although national and foreign researchers discusses the existence of a threat to French communications in the Mediterranean, Paris’ position on this problem alongside the change of its approach, have not previously become the subject of separate research. The author attempts to elucidate why Paris resorted to the questions of military cooperation with London in the Mediterranean Region precisely in the spring of 1938. The author relied on the achievements of the realist school of the theory of international relations in defining the concept of security. The conclusion is formulated that consolidation of Italy and Germany in the strategically important areas of the region – Spanish Morocco and Balearic Islands, which took place during the Spanish War, posed a serious threat to French communications in the Mediterranean. French military officers believed that particular danger to Paris’ positions in the region came from Italy. In the course of escalation of the Austrian crisis, the stance of Paris on the defense of communications varied. If in February 1938, the French military chiefs were assumed that security of communications could be ensured by signing an agreement,  after the Anschluss they considered conducting military operations in the Mediterranean Region in the instance of the beginning of war. Paris was concerned about consolidation of “axis” powers in the region, and a year ahead of London raised the question on conducting combat operations in the Mediterranean. However, without the support of Great Britain, France was incapable of achieving full protection of its Mediterranean interests.
