A New Species

The former Soviet republics of Middle Asia are an important area of Allium Linnaeus (1753: 294) diversity. The latest checklist by Khassanov (2008) recorded 244 species and subspecies. At least 18 new species were described from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan afterwards (Lazkov 2008, Fritsch 2009, Fritsch & Friesen 2009, Khassanov & Tojibaev 2009, 2010, Khassanov et al. 2009, 2011, 2013, Sennikov & Lazkov 2013, Tojibaev et al. 2014 , Seregin et al. 2015). Due to the high number of extremely rare local endemics, Allium species of this region are still underexplored. For instance, some collections in many herbaria are still remaining unnamed or bear provisional identifications.

Iris ferdowsii is described and illustrated as a new species from Khorassan-Kopet Dagh floristic province in NE Iran. It is closely related to the rhizomatous bearded irises of I. sect. Regelia. The species of this section are distributed mainly in the east of Iran, Afghanistan, west of Pakistan and Middle Asia. Diagnostic morphological characters, and notes on distribution, habitat and conservation status of the new species are provided.

Abstract— Based on the investigations of the representatives of the genus Cottus from Middle Asia, the species status of C. spinulosus is supported, and its diagnostic characters are specified. The validity of С.jaxartensis is resumed and a degree of its distinction from C. gobio is evaluated. A comparative analysis of morphological characters of the C. nasalis holotype and С.jaxartensis specimens of the same body size shows identity of these species, and, thus, C.nasalis has been included in the synonymy of C.jaxartensis. A new species C. nudus sp. nova is described. The representatives of this species differ from other Asian species of the genus in the following characters: absence of bony spickles nd dermal tubercles on the skin of the head and trunk; elongated upper jaw terminated near the vertical through posterior margin of orbit; presence of teeth on palatine bones; short sensory canal on the trunk with 23 pores; monochrome light coloration of the fins; and widened distal ends of neural and/or hemal spines in seven caudal centra. A key for the identification of three Middle Asian species (C. spinulosus, C. jaxartensis, and C.nudus sp. nova) is given.

A New Species

The Holarctic genus Lathrobium Gravenhorst, 1802 is represented in the Palaearctic region sensu Löbl & Smetana (2004) by five subgenera. According to the Palaearctic catalogue (Smetana 2004) and an updated version by Schülke (unpubl.), the highly diverse nominal subgenus currently includes 248 valid species and subspecies in the Palaearctic region (6 nomina dubia not included), with 73 (sub-)species confined to the Western Palaearctic (one of these species present also in the western parts of the Eastern Palaearctic), 167 (sub-)species to the Eastern Palaearctic including Middle Asia (two of them present also in the eastern parts of the Western Palaearctic), and with 8 species having a trans-Palaearctic distribution. Several species have become known from Middle Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan), but up to today no representative of the genus has been reported from Kyrgyzstan (Smetana 2004).

A New Species

Allium decoratum Turginov & Tojibaev is described as new species from Uzbekistan (Central Asia). The distribution area of this species is restricted to Baisuntau moumtains in SW Hissar Range. The new species is close to the type species of subsect. Ligulifolia R.M.Fritsch, but differs from all known species of subsect. Ligulifolia by morphological characters of bulbs and flowers. Also we report 3 Allium species as new records for the territory of Uzbekistan: A. flavellum Vvedensky, A. lutescens Vvedensky and A. viridiflorum Pobedimova.
