AbstractWe report the capture of a single specimen of the species Paulia horrida Gray, 1840, off the coast of Arica, in the Arica and Parinacota Region, Northern Chile. This finding extends the currently known distributional range of the species by 2,434 km towards the south, since the southernmost known area for this species corresponds to Punta Sal, Peru. We discuss the importance of finding this relatively unknown species in Chile and the need to continue sampling to confirm the continuous distributional range of the species between the south of Peru and the north of Chile.

Pygicera Kerremans, 1903 is an endemic genus of jewel beetle of Chile distributed in the central Chile hotspot, which is distributed from the Atacama Desert in the north to the Valdivian Forest in the south (Myers et al., 2000). Currently, Pygicera is composed of one species and two subspecies: Pygicera scripta scripta Laporte & Gory, 1837 and the Valdivian rainforest subspecies Pygicera scripta krahmeri Moore 1981 (Figs 2–6). The first subspecies is distributed from Limarí in the Coquimbo Region to Curicó in the Maule Region, both in the coast as well as Andean foothills. This is considered the common subspecies (Moore, 1981; Moore & Vidal, 2015). The southern subspecies is distributed from Victoria in the Araucanía Region to La Unión in Los Ríos Region (Moore, 1981; Moore & Vidal, 2015) and is the rarest and less abundant subspecies. The larvae of both subspecies have been recorded in the “maitén” (Maytenus boaria) Molina, from which they have been reared (Moore, 1981, 1987; Moore & Vidal, 2015).

Abstract. Bulk aerosol samples collected during cruise M91 of FS Meteor off the coast of Peru in December 2012 were analysed for their soluble trace metal (Fe, Al, Mn, Ti, Zn, V, Ni, Cu, Co, Cd, Pb, Th) and major ion (including NO3− and NH4+) content. These data are among the first recorded for trace metals in this relatively poorly studied region of the global marine atmosphere. To the north of ∼ 13° S, the concentrations of several elements (Fe, Ti, Zn, V, Ni, Pb) appear to be related to distance from the coast. At the south of the transect (∼ 15–16° S), elevated concentrations of Fe, Cu, Co and Ni were observed. These may be related to the activities of the large smelting facilities in the south of Peru or northern Chile. Calculated dry deposition fluxes (3370–17 800 and 16–107 nmol m−2 d−1 for inorganic nitrogen and soluble Fe respectively) indicated that atmospheric input to the waters of the Peru upwelling system contains an excess of Fe over N, with respect to phytoplankton requirements. This may be significant as primary production in these waters has been reported to be limited by Fe availability, but atmospheric deposition is unlikely to be the dominant source of Fe to the system.

Pterichis comprises about 40 species distributed from Costa Rica in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species grow as terrestrial plants usually in paramo and subparamo, but there are also reports of populations in high montane forest. In this paper the complete enumeration of the six Bolivian representatives of the orchid genus Pterichis sect. Pterichis is presented. A total of four new species are described and one new record, P. aragogiana, for the country is reported. An updated key to the species of the nominal section of Pterichis from Bolivia is presented.

AbstractThe tribe Hydarini StÅl (Coreidae) from the Oriental region is revised: seven species in four genera are recognized, of which Hydarella chiangdaoensis from Thailand and Laos and H. sundae from the Lesser Sunda Islands are newly described. A key to the known taxa is given and new records are added which extend the distributional range of the Hydarini from China in the north to the Lesser Sunda Islands in the south.

Direct aspiration from the undersides of bracket fungi, or collections from the vicinity of soft fungi, usually on decaying logs, yielded nine Hirtodrosophila species of which three are new. Of these, five species including two new ones use the undersides of bracket fungi as courting territories. Baiting with rotted commercial mushrooms yielded 10 Scaptodrosophila species of which three are new and a fourth, D. pictipennis Kertesz, is a new record for Australia. The uniqueness of the north Queensland fauna is emphasized, since few of the species here discussed also occur in the south. By far the highest species diversities occur in the complex mesophyll vine forests of north Queensland, in agreement with previously reported collections for the subgenera Drosophila and Sophophora. Descriptions of the six new species are provided, together with a redescription of D. pictipennis.

Four new species of the families Hemioniscidae and Crinoniscidae are described from New Zealand waters: Crinoniscus politosummus sp. nov., C. cephalatus sp. nov., Scalpelloniscus vomicus sp. nov. and S. nieli sp. nov. Mature males and females are described for all species, and the epicaridium larva is described for S. vomicus sp. nov. Males of the two species of Scalpelloniscus can be distinguished from S. penicillatus and S. binoculis by coxal plate dentition, relative sizes of propodus and dactylus. Crinoniscus politosummus sp. nov. and C. cephalatus sp. nov. can be separated from the only other congener Crinoniscus equitans by the body shape of the mature females, and shape of antennule article 1 of the males. A single specimen tentatively identified as S. cf. penicillatus is also recorded from New Zealand waters. These species are the first records of cryptoniscoid isopods infecting thoracic barnacles from the South West Pacific.

Live Trap

The lowland populations of the viviparous lizard Zootoca vivipara in the Carpathian Basin occur in cold, marshy relict habitats. In one of the largest wetlands in Hungary, Kis-Balaton, in 2016 its presence was confirmed by catching an individual with a small mammal live-trap. This new record is significant, since the nearest known sites of occurrence are at great distance and it is situated between the lowland viviparous populations of the north-northeast and the oviparous populations of the south (in Croatia).

Cyclic Variations

AbstractLong-term cyclic variations in the distribution of prominences and intensities of green (530.3 nm) and red (637.4 nm) coronal emission lines over solar cycles 18–23 are presented. Polar prominence branches will reach the poles at different epochs in cycle 23: the north branch at the beginning in 2002 and the south branch a year later (2003), respectively. The local maxima of intensities in the green line show both poleward- and equatorward-migrating branches. The poleward branches will reach the poles around cycle maxima like prominences, while the equatorward branches show a duration of 18 years and will end in cycle minima (2007). The red corona shows mostly equatorward branches. The possibility that these branches begin to develop at high latitudes in the preceding cycles cannot be excluded.
