Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) lituanica Ivinskis & van Nieukerken, sp. nov., is described from adults reared from stem-mining larvae on Salvia pratensis (Lamiaceae) from Lithuania and some specimens taken as adults in Austria, Sloveniaand Greece. In addition the new species is recorded from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania. Superficially, itresembles Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) headleyella (Stainton, 1854), especially the male, but it differs by male genitaliawith additional cornuti, a unique character for the subgenus, and the female genitalia differ by the larger number ofconvolutions in the ductus spermathecae. It is the only known Trifurcula to make its cocoon partially inside a stem-mine. The synonymy of Nepticula dubiella Hauder, 1912 with T. headleyella is confirmed, but some specimensrecorded under this name from Austria belong to the new species. DNA barcodes are provided and compared with related species.

<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.

AbstractThe epiphytic lichenPorina pseudohibernicais described as new. It is characterized by a richly isidiate thallus, 7–8(–9)-septate ascospores and the presence of periphyses. It resemblesP. hibernicas. str., differing in the size and septation of ascospores, and in the dimensions of the terete, branched isidia. The new species was found fertile at a single site in the Carnic Alps (SE Alps, Italy), but it is also known in a sterile condition from scattered localities in the humid (sub-)montane belt of Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Ukraine, occurring on smooth bark ofFagusandCarpinus.Porina hibernicais restricted to the coastal lowlands of Atlantic Europe, and it prefers rather dry, base-rich bark ofQuercusandUlmus. The characters previously used to segregate the isidiate EuropeanPorinainto the genusZamenhofiaare also discussed.

Police structures and everyday practices in Central and Eastern Europe have changed dramatically in recent years, but changes have varied both in terms of the countries involved and in terms of the particular feature of the police system under review. This paper focuses on one city, Prague, and considers the ways in which the police deal with crime victims, specifically victims of burglary. The findings are compared with an earlier study in Poland, Hungary, Germany and England. The police are the main agency with which burglary victims are involved, and the service they provide is important, not least because clear-up rates are low. It was, therefore, reassuring to find that victims were generally positive about the way the police dealt with their cases. This is very different from the situation in Poland, where victims were far more critical. However, those victims who were most affected or worried about crime were least positive, suggesting that there is a link between perceptions of police work and perceptions of the crime situation. A comparison between the Czech Republic and Poland also suggests that relatively minor changes to police practices may improve victims' experiences and thereby their evaluation of police work.

One of the key markets of the European Union is the poultry meat market. The situation on this market is of significant importance to both producers and consumers. The main aim of the article is to study the level of self-sufficiency of selected countries in Central and Eastern Europe in the production of poultry meat. Eleven countries were selected as the research area: Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. In the conducted research, simplified indices of self-sufficiency were used: the balance of foreign trade in terms of volume and value, average annual consumption per capita and production volume in relation to consumption. The study was conducted for the years 2009-2018. The statistical sources used come from FAOSTAT and International Trade Centre databases. Research has shown that the analyzed countries are characterized by a significant diversification of the self-sufficiency level of poultry meat production. Only 6 analyzed countries can meet the domestic consumption demand from their own production, the remaining countries supplement the deficit from imported goods. The highest level of self-sufficiency of poultry meat production was observed in Poland, Slovenia, Lithuania and Hungary. On the other hand, the lowest level is found in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovakia and Latvia.

During the investigation of fungal microbiome associated with boxwood in the Czech Republic, samples from Buxus sempervirens L. (Buxaceae) plants were collected and used for isolation. Two fungal strains were proposed as a new species Pyrenochaetopsis kuksensis based on morphology as well as phylogenetic analyses of ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tub2 sequence data. Detailed descriptions and phylogenetic relationships of the new taxon are provided.
