A New Species

In our recent paper on Palaearctic Docosia Winnertz, 1863, a new species was described under the name Docosia turkmenica Kurina & Ševčík, 2012. The material originated from the Kopet Dag Mountains (Big Bakhcha River) in southwest Turkmenistan and was named for its occurrence in the country (Kurina & Ševčík 2012). Unfortunately, the authors were not aware of a previous paper by Zaitzev (2011) describing two new Docosia species from Turkmenistan (Kara Kala) and Russia (Astrakhan). The species described from Turkmenian material—Docosia turkmenica Zaitzev, 2011—was also named to indicate its origin. Consequently two identical species-group names (primary homonyms) were established for different nominal taxa (see also ICZN: Article 57.2). Therefore, for nomenclatural stability, Docosia trispinosa Kurina & Ševčík nom. nov. is proposed herewith for the invalid junior homonym, Docosia turkmenica Kurina & Ševčík. In addition, D. turkmenica Zaitzev, 2011 has been discussed in respect to the key of the Central Asian species by Kurina & Ševčík (2012).

A New Species

A new species Draconarius latellai n.sp. is described on the basis of two sexes from Northern Pakistan. It belongs to D. venustus species group and most similar to the generotype D. venustus Ovtchinnikov, 1999. The new species is compared with three other species occuring in Central Asia: D. venustus (Tajikistan), D. naranensis Ovtchinnikov, 2005 and D. pakistanicus Ovtchinnikov, 2005 (both from Northern Pakistan). Key to the four Central Asian species is provided and illustrations of all species are given.

Two species of Glaresis Erichson, 1848 (Coleoptera: Glaresidae) are reported from China. Glaresis ordosensis new species from Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi is described and compared with the similar species G. orientalis Medvedev, 1976 and G. oxiana Semenov, 1892. Glaresis orientalis, previously known only from Mongolia, is recorded from China (Inner Mongolia), for the first time. A key for the identification of Middle and Central Asian species of Glaresis is provided.

A New Species

Taxonomy of the two previously described species of the hippolytid shrimp genus Heptacarpus Holmes, 1900, H. camtschaticus (Stimpson, 1860) and H. geniculatus (Stimpson, 1860), are reassessed. It has been found that Eualus geniculata longirostris Kobjakova, 1936, which has been regarded as a junior synonym of Heptacarpus geniculatus, is a valid taxon, herein reinstated as a full species. It has been found that two species were confounded in previous literature under the name H. camtschaticus, and one of them is described as new, H. acuticarinatus n. sp. Three species, H. camtschaticus, H. geniculatus and H. longirostris, are redescribed. These four species all belong to an informal species group characterized by the lack of pereopodal epipods. Differences in morphology and distributional pattern among the four species are discussed. A key in aid of the identification of the Asian species belonging to the species group is provided.

The Central Asian species of the winter moth genus Phthorarcha Meyrick, 1892 are revised and some specimens of the type series of Phthorarcha primigena Staudinger, 1895 are separated and described as Phthorarcha haberhaueri, sp. nov. These poorly known moths and their male and female genitalia are described and illustrated and discrimination of the genera Phthorarcha, Alsophiloides Inoue and Chimaphila Nakajima & Wang is analysed.

A New Species

A new species of Iguanidae Liolaemini lizard from the San Guillermo National Park in western Argentina, is described. The new species is a member of the Liolaemus darwinii complex within the monophyletic boulengeri species group. It is distinguished by its small body size, relatively long tail, low number of scales around midbody, dorsal scales moderately keeled, precloacal pores only in male, bulged patch of enlarged scales on the proximal posterior surface of the thigh in both sexes, dorsal pattern lacking of light vertebral or dorsolateral stripes, antehumeral fold without black pigment in female but greyish in male, a prescapular dark dot dorsal to antehumeral fold in both sexes, and postscapular spot absent. The new species is terrestrial, living in habitats with gravel and sandy soil in an Andean Monte landscape with sparse vegetation, above 2270 meters of altitude.
