A New Species

A new encyrtid species, Prionomastix orientalis sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae), is described from Arunachal Pradesh, India. This is only the second species of Prionomastix reported from India and markedly differs from P. siccarius Annecke, the other species known from India.  Morphological features of the new species are illustrated and compared with related species.

A New Species

A new species of truffle, T.aztecorum, is described from central Mexico. Tuberaztecorum can be distinguished from other related Tuber species synoptically by a combination of morphological features including ascospore size, pellis cells with irregular thickness, cystidia, ascoma colour and associated host (Abiesreligiosa an endemic Abies species from central Mexico); sequence variation on the ITS rDNA also distinguishes T.aztecorum from related species. A phylogenetic analysis of the ITS rDNA demonstrates that T.aztecorum belongs to the Maculatum clade and is unique from other similar small, white-cream coloured Tuber species distributed in north-eastern Mexico such as T.castilloi and T.guevarai.

AbstractA new soil mite species, Quadroppia (Coronoquadroppia) sezeki sp. n., is described. Adult mites were recorded from moss under a pine tree from a pine forest. The new species differs from the other species of the subgenus by bearing epimera III+IV with a wide key hole shaped inner border and the shape of frontal appendage of rostrum. The morphological features of the new species are also compared with those present in closely related species.

AbstractRhoptromeris strobigena is described, compared with related species, and included in a supplement to a previous key to NW European Rhoptromeris spp. Observations on its biology and courtship behaviour are reported. The parasitoid was reared from puparia of Gaurax and Hapleginella spp. (Diptera: Chloropidae) obtained from cones of Abies procera, Larix decidua, and L. kaempferi growing in the Netherlands. Specimens collected in Sweden and Italy were also examined. In contrast to most other Rhoptromeris spp., R. strobigena does not exhibit morphological features linked to reduced flight capacity. The retained good power of flight and an association with trees are considered as plesiomorphic conditions, which R. strobigena shares with most species of the closely related genera Armigerina, Nordlanderiana and Trichoplasta. A checklist of Holarctic Rhoptromeris spp., including nine valid species, presents one new generic synonym (Striatellia Belizin = Rhoptromeris Förster) and two new combinations. Another three new combinations and two new synonyms are given in a list of species excluded from Rhoptromeris, which are assigned to the genera Didyctium, Leptopilina, or Trichoplasta.

Summary New morphological, molecular and bionomic data are added to update the description of Bursaphelenchus eucarpus. The nematode was isolated from larval galleries and adults of the apple bark beetle, Scolytus mali, and the shothole borer, S. rugulosus, present under the bark of the bird cherry, Prunus padus, and the common European plum, P. domestica, in Poland. Detailed male, female and dispersal juvenile morphology and morphometrics are documented and compared with the original description. From partial 18S, ITS1/2 and partial 28S D2-D3 sequences and morphological features (three lateral lines, position of caudal papillae, shape of the delicate spicules with dorsally bent condylus, lack of vulval flap, a long post-uterine branch and a hyaline region at the female tail tip) it can be concluded that B. eucarpus belongs to the eremus group of Bursaphelenchus. The differentiation from related species of the eremus group is discussed.

A new Planothidium species, Planothidium galaicum sp. nov. is described on the basis of light and electron microscopy investigations of its frustule morphology. This diatom was found in the epiphyton of Himanthalia elongata at Muxía coast (Galicia, northwest Spain). A discussion of the morphological features of this taxon and their taxonomic affinities with related species, is presented.
