Descriptions of three new species of the genus Symmorphus Wesmael, 1836 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae) from South Korea, with an updated revised key to Far Eastern species

Three new species of the genus Symmorphus Wesmael, 1836 are described with materials from South Korea and Far eastern Russia: Symmorphus kurzenkoi Kim sp. nov., S. truncatoclypeus Kim sp. nov., S. yamanei Kim sp. nov. All are members of the subgenus Symmorphus Wesmael 1836. S. kurzenkoi Kim sp. nov. is likely to be closely related to Symmorphus fuscipes in having well developed and completely closed propodeal submedian carina, but is clearly different from the latter in the shape of metasomal tergum 1 that is not markedly narrowed toward base. Within the S. murarius group proposed by Cumming 1989, Symmorphus truncatoclypeus Kim sp. nov. is unique in having a clypeus with apical margin completely truncated. S. yamanei Kim sp. nov. is separated from congeners by following combination of characteristics: uniformly lengthened mesosomal setae; vestigial epicnemial carina; areolate mesepimeron; propodeal submedian carina that is somewhat strongly developed though doubled and not clearly closed dorsally; weakly raised basal transverse carina on metasomal tergum 1; faintly foveate-reticulate dorsomedian portion of metasomal tergum 1. Re-description of S. tsushimanus Yamane 1990, which is the most poorly known species in the Far East, is presented based on the holotype. Finally, an updated revised determination key to Far Eastern species, supplemented by digital images and line drawings, is given.

Eastern Species

Rhithrogena klugei sp. nov. (male, female and larva) are described from Far East of Russia. The Far Eastern species of Rhithrogena belong to two groups: lepnevae and sibirica. The species group sibirica is represented by the East Palaearctic species R. sibirica Brodsky 1930. The lepnevae species group includes R. lepnevae Brodsky 1930, R. bajkovae Sowa 1973 and R. klugei sp. nov. in the Far East and Siberia, and two species which can be found in the Russian Far East, R. piechockii Braasch 1977 from Mongolia, and R. ingalik Randolph and McCafferty 2005 from Alaska. The species group sibirica differs from lepnevae species group in that its larvae present a rounded projection on gills II–VI on the posterior-dorsal margin, whereas the imagines present a shoot at the base of the penis lobes. The larva of R. klugei sp. nov. differs from those of R. bajkovae and R. lepnevae in their form of gill I and in the ratio of the length to the width of gills III–IV. The male imago of the new species can be distinguished from others of the lepnevae species group by the absence of the latero-dorsoventral tooth on the penis lobes.

A New Species

Polycheria acercaudasp. nov., an amphipod symbiotic with sponges and ascidians in Korean waters, is established herein as a new species, along with a detailed description and illustrations. This new species is closely related to the following three known species of the genus from the Far East:Polycheria amakusaensisHirayama, 1984,P. japonicaBulycheva, 1952, andP. orientalisHirayama, 1984. However,Polycheria acercaudasp. nov. can be distinguished from the other congeners by the following combination of characteristics: (1) on antenna 2, the anterior margin of peduncular article 4 is pubescent; (2) on gnathopod 2, the palm is clearly distinct; (3) on uropod 3, the inner ramus is lined with plumose setae; and (4) on the telson, the apices are acute. This is the first report of the genusPolycheriaHaswell, 1879 belonging to the family Dexaminidae Leach, 1814 from Korean waters.

Preliminary results of the first mycological expedition to the Shantar Islands, where the Federal national park of the same name has been operating since 2013, have been summed up. It includes 15 large and small Islands with adjacent waters. We were able to study the basidiomycetes and ascomycetes species diversity in plant communities on two of them – Bolshoy Shantar and Prokofiev islands. The main feature of the identified mycobiota is the abundance of boreal species that are rarely found in the continental part of the Far East and the weak participation of both background boreal and endemic Far Eastern species.

AbstractThree onychiurid springtail species of a new genus are described from the Far East (Russia). Sensillonychiurus gen. n. clearly differs in its antennal III sense organ consisting of three guard setae only. The genus is placed in the tribe Thalassaphorurini. Within the tribe it is related to Detriturus Pomorski, 1998 which it resembles in the lack of d0 setae on the head.

Eastern Species

The article is devoted to the actual topic of expansion of assortment of lianas in vertical gardening in Saratov by the use of introduced species of tree lianas from the Far East. Currently, the studied species: Actinidia arguta; Actinidia kolomikta; Ampelopsis aconitifolia; Schisandra chinensis; Menispermum dauricum — have been distributed in individual land use areas mainly as food crops. It is noted that the far Eastern species of lianas differ in a significant amplitude of biological tolerance of adaptation, have high frost resistance and immunity against diseases. The reason for including these species in the prospective assortment for use in urban plantations is given taking into account a comprehensive assessment of their drought resistance, heat resistance, and resistance to anthropogenic impact. All species are resistant to high summer air temperatures and insufficient humidity, which is typical for the climate of Saratov. The assessment of gas resistance of lianas is given in comparison with the results of studies previously conducted with respect to other species, which allows us to determine possible combinations of plants on landscaping sites. Ranking of species showed that the studied Far Eastern species of lianas have high and medium gas resistance. The obtained data give reason to recommend the studied lianas for use in plantings of various categories in Saratov, depending on the availability of care and air quality. To prevent damage to leaves and shoots by drought, as well as to improve the gas resistance of plants, it is recommended to conduct agro-measures that improve the water-air and food regime of soils in the growing areas.

Arisubathynella gen. nov. is established for a new species, A. cheongmiensis sp. nov. from South Korea. An illustrated description is given. The new genus stands out in the family Parabathynellidae by six-segmented antennules, three-segmented antenna without medial seta on inner margin of third segment, absence of mandibulartooth of the ventral edge, bare proximal segment of maxilla, two-segmented exopods of thoracopods II-VII, and male thoracopod VIII with elongated external lobe. Arisubathynella gen. nov. is the fourth genus known from South Korea and foreshadows the great diversity of bathynellaceans in the Far East.
