A New Species

We review and summarize the present knowledge of the Neotropical genus Euthycerina Malloch, 1933. Habitus and male terminalia are described and figured in detail for the first time. Euthycerina uachi sp. nov. is described, based on two males and four females from two locations in the province of Valdivia, Chile. An illustrated key is given for the three described species of Euthycerina, together with maps, phenology plots, and a summary of diagnostic characters that will enable researchers to confidently identify all species of Euthycerina.

The genus Ludioctenus Fairmaire, 1893 hitherto included only L. cyprius (Baudi di Selve, 1871) from the eastern Mediterranean and L. pakistanicus Schimmel & Tarnawski, 2012 from Pakistan. Here, we describe L. afghanicus sp. nov. from the Nuristan Province in eastern Afghanistan. The distribution and morphological diversity of Ludioctenus is discussed, main diagnostic characters for all species are figured, and an identification key to the species of this genus is provided. Female pregenital segments and genitalia are figured for the first time for Ludioctenus, and the systematic position of this genus and its relatives is discussed.

We report a new species of Spermophilus ( Rodentia: Sciuridae), here designated as S. torosensis sp. nov., distributed in the Taurus Mountains in southern Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 161 specimens of the genus Spermophilus from Turkey and Iran were analyzed for their morphological, morphometric, and karyological characteristics. Uni- and multi-variate statistical analyses of morphologic data for 95 adult specimens yielded 4 distinct groups. Taxonomic evaluations classified the specimens into 4 species Spermophilus citellus, S. xanthopymnus, S. fulvus and S. torosensis sp. nov. Morphometrics, coat coloration, a brush-shaped tail, and a NFa value of 72 are diagnostic characters that distinguish S. torosensis sp. nov. from the other species. In Turkey, S. torosensis sp. nov. was found in 6 locations. The karyotype of S. fulvus also is described for the first time as 2n= 36, NFa= 70 and NFa= 66; new karyotypic data is reported for S. xanthoprymnus from Iran and Turkey.

A New Species

The description of a new species of the genus Chrysochromulina, C. chiton, includes for the first time some evidence from the electron microscopy of sections in addition to the techniques previously used. Important diagnostic characters are the exceptionally large scales, which are shown to be of two kinds, the larger being saucer-shaped, and the smaller plate-like with a narrow rim flexed towards the upper surface; the structure and arrangement of the two types of scale on the body are described. Anatomical facts are given for the first time for the internal structure of the haptonema; in this species this organ consists of three concentric membranes surrounding a ring of seven fibres or tubes, the centre of the haptonema being hollow; this combination of characters distinguishes the organ fundamentally from a flagellum. Microanatomical facts are also given for the following major cell organs: the nucleus, the chromatophores including the pyrenoids, mitochondria, putative golgi material, muciferous bodies, the flagellar bases (preliminary observations only). Other distinguishable cytoplasmic components include the surface membrane, unsaturated fat bodies, vesicles of various kinds and granular protoplasm in the interstices.

A new species of the genus Lemaireia Nässig & Holloway, 1988 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae: Saturniinae: Saturniini), L. daparo sp. n., is described from evergreen broad-leaf forests in Panzhihua (Sichuan), Qujing (Yunnan) and Dali (Yunnan) of China. The new species resembles L. luteopeplus aureopeplus Nässig & Holloway, 1988 and L. hainana Nässig & Wang, 2006 from China, but can be easily separated from them by the male genitalia. In addition, the genus Lemaireia is reported here for the first time from Sichuan Province, and now its distribution range reached the northeastern extreme point. The habitus, diagnostic characters and distribution map of the three species of the genus Lemaireia from China are provided. A list of all Lemaireia species presently known worldwide is also given.

A taxonomic review of the Acrotona Thomson in the Korean Peninsula is presented. The genus is represented in Korea by seven species including a new species, Acrotona (Acrotona) koreana Lee & Ahn, sp. nov. Two new synonyms are proposed: A. (A.) lutulenta (Sharp) = A. (A.) suyangsani Paśnik syn. nov., A. (A.) pseudotenera (Cameron) = A. (A.) paeksongricus Paśnik syn. nov. Three species [A. (A.) lutulenta (Sharp), A. (A.) pseudotenera (Cameron) and A. (A.) vicaria (Kraatz)] are reported for the first time in South Korea. A key, descriptions, habitus photographs and illustrations of the diagnostic characters are provided.

The new species Epeorus (Caucasiron) bicolliculatus sp. nov. is described based on larvae and adults. Diagnostic characters are given with regard to the related species. The most pronounced difference is represented by protuberances on larval abdominal terga II–IX, present exclusively in E. (C.) bicolliculatus sp. nov. Primary data on the biology and distribution of the new species are also provided. Delimitation of the new species is verified by the analysis of COI (barcode) sequences. Barcode data for all Caucasian species of the subgenus Caucasiron are provided for the first time and compared with E. (C.) bicolliculatus sp. nov.
