Three New Species

Three new European species of Docosia Winnertz are described, photographed and their terminalia illustrated. Docosia muranica sp. nov. is described on the basis of material from central Slovakia and northern Greece, while the material of D. rameli sp. nov. and D. kerkini sp. nov. originates from northern Greece only. The number of described European species of Docosia has thus increased to 32.

Three New Species

The European and Mediterranean species of the Acalyptris platani and A. staticis groups are revised, with respectively four and six species. Three new species are described: A. pistaciae Van Nieukerken sp. n. (from Greece, Cyprus and Turkey, on Pistacia) in the platani group, A. limoniastri Van Nieukerken sp. n. (from Algeria and Tunisia, associated with Limoniastrum) and A. lesbia Van Nieukerken & Hull sp. n. (from Greece: Lesvos, on Limonium gmelini) in the staticis group. Lectotypes are selected for A. minimella (Rebel, 1924) and A. staticis (Walsingham, 1908). The European species of the A. platani group are leafminers on Anacardiaceae, Platanaceae and Loranthaceae, the species of the A. staticis group feed on Plumbaginaceae, except A. pyrenaica A. & Z. Laštůvka, for which the host is unknown, but likely to belong to another family. Immatures are described for five species, final instar larvae and pupal exuviae for all species in the A. platani group and for A. lesbia. Larvae and pupae of the latter species differ markedly from the A. platani group. Recorded parasitoids are listed. CO1 barcodes are provided for seven species. The groups are phylogenetically not very close; the monophyly of Acalyptris and the phylogeny on the basis of CO1 (mt-DNA) sequences are discussed.

AbstractThree new species are described; two European species, tringarius L. and lineola Fabr., are recorded for the first time; and the previously described species are redefined and new distribution records presented, with a key to the eastern species. Rhagio hirtus Loew is recognized as a good species, R. boscii Macquart and Xylophagus fasciatus Say are synonymized with albicornis Say, and R. intermedius Walker is synonymized with R. vertebratus Say. The three new species are R. dichromaticus from Louisiana, recognized by its extremely dark coloration; R. floridensis from Florida and Georgia, with yellow thorax and distinctively patterned wings; and R. orestes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is close to hirtus but separable by the darker thorax and abdomen.

AbstractThe taxonomy and biology of New World species of Chrysolampinae are reviewed with diagnoses given for the subfamily, genera, and species. A key to the species of Chrysolampus and a summary of geographic distribution and information on host and floral associations are presented. Three new species are described from North America (Chrysolampus improcerus, C. luridus and C. elegans); Chrysolampus lycti Crawford is transferred to Perilampus and synonymized with the European species P. micans Dalman. The genus Chrysomalla is recorded in the New World for the first time based on the new species Chrysomalla hesperis. An explanation of the historical biogeography of the genera is proposed that is consistent with Late Cretaceous and Tertiary geological, botanical, and climatic information. It is suggested that the extant species are descendents of elements of a widely distributed arid biota.

First Time

The European species of Euplectrus Westwood are comprehensively treated for the first time, using a combination of morphological and DNA data (CO1, the barcode). Ten species are included, seven already described: E.bicolor (Swederus), E.flavipes (Fonscolombe), E.intactus Walker, E.liparidis Ferrière, E.maculiventris Westwood, E.nigriceps Ferrière, E.phthorimaeae Ferrière, and three new species: E.carinifersp. n., E.geometricidasp. n., E.pallidigastersp. n. To stabilize the nomenclature a neotype is designated for E.bicolor. Euplectrusintactus is removed from synonymy under E.bicolor and E nigriceps from synonymy under E.platyhypenae Howard, and both are re-established as valid species. Several host records are given and presented in a table, and new geographical records are introduced for previously described species. All host records are from exposed Lepidoptera caterpillars and the dominant host groups are Geometridae and Noctuidae. A key including all European species of tribe Euplectrini is presented. Prior to this paper the identification of European Euplectrus species has been difficult and misidentifications have probably been common. Existing host and geographical records in the literature must therefore be treated with great care.

Telothelepodidae and Thelepodidae from French waters are revised based on material available in French marine stations and newly collected specimens. This work is the second part of the Spaghetti Project aiming to revise French species of “Spaghetti” worms. It describes three new species using both morphological and molecular tools: Streblosoma cabiochi n. sp., Streblosoma lindsayae n. sp. and Thelepus corsicanus n. sp. This study also permitted us to detect the presence of an Asiatic species, Thelepus japonicus, in Arcachon Bay and Normandy, introduced via oysters transfers. An identification key for European species of both families is also provided.

Three new species from the Caucasus are described: Quedius (Raphirus) nonseriatus sp. nov., Q. (R.) henrii sp. nov. and Q. (R.) humosus sp. nov. New data on distribution and bionomics are recorded for a rare species, Q. (Microsaurus) bernhaueri Rambousek (southern Macedonia and northern Greece), as well as for little-known Q. (M.) walteri Korge (north-eastern Turkey), Q. (R.) boluensis Korge (northern Turkey) and Q. (R.) semirufus (northern Iran and Azerbaijan). For Q. bernhaueri the type material is examined and the lectotype is designated.

The North European species of Elaphomyces section Elaphomyces (Eurotiales, Pezizomycotina) are studied. Three new species, E. citrinopapillatus, E. pusillus, and E. roseoviolaceus are introduced and verified by morphology and sequence data from ITS, nuclear LSU, mitochondrial SSU, and β-tubulin. A lectotype for Elaphomyces granulatus is selected. Elaphomyces granulatus and E. muricatus are epitypified with sequenced material from the Femsjö region in South Sweden. Elaphomyces striatosporus is epitypified with sequenced material from the vicinity of the type locality in Norway. A key to all species of Elaphomyces occurring in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden is provided.

AbstractRecent fieldwork carried out for the study of the lichen flora in the Upper Douro region (north-east Portugal) has resulted in a remarkable collection ofPeltulaspecimens, including one new species (Peltula lobataJ. Marques, M. Schultz & Paz-Berm.), three new species records for mainland Europe [Peltula bolanderi(Tuck.) Wetmore,Peltula farinosaBüdel andPeltula zahbruckneri(Hasse) Wetmore] and seven species new for mainland Portugal, that are reported here with a notes on their morphology and currently known distribution. The new speciesPeltula lobatais differentiated from any other knownPeltulaspecies by its thallus shape and size, presence of large, sessile apothecia with widely opened discs and by a complete absence of soredia. Identical specimens were also obtained from the nearby locality of Siega Verde in the province of Salamanca, and from the southern locality of Abla in the province of Almeria, both in Spain. New insights into the morphological diversity ofPeltula euplocaandPeltula bolanderiare also provided. The region is revealed to be a hotspot forPeltuladiversity and a very promising area for further research on the morphological and molecular variation among the former species. A revised key to European species of the genus is also presented.
