A checklist to the trees and shrubs of Upper Katanga (the Zambezian part of Katanga, ca. 260,000 km²) (D.R. Congo) is presented. It comprises 694 taxa (664 species, 15 subspecies, 15 varieties). For each accepted taxon the list provides habitat and geographic distribution. Eleven taxa are new records for the D.R. Congo and 29 are new records for Upper Katanga. Fourteen new synonyms are proposed. Two families stand out as particularly species-rich, i.e. Fabaceae (110 taxa, i.e. Caesalpinioideae: 50; Faboideae: 29; Mimosoideae: 31) and Rubiaceae (74). Six genera comprise 10 taxa or more i.e. Ficus (25), Combretum (17), Monotes (17), Brachystegia (15), Diospyros (11), Acacia (11). The three most important woody vegetation types in Upper Katanga have different phytogeographic and taxonomic assemblages: miombo woodland (254 taxa, 62% of which are Zambezian, over-representation of Caesalpinioideae), riverine and swamp forest (196 taxa, 36% of which are Guineo-Congolian, 17% Afromontane), and Zambezian dry evergreen forest (117 taxa, 37% of which are Guineo-Congolian, Rubiaceae over-represented). Twenty taxa (3%) are strictly endemic to Upper Katanga, most of which occur only in the Katango-Zambian sector of the Zambezian region. Taxonomic uncertainties are emphasized including 13 endemics known by one or two collections only. Forty-nine taxa are almost exclusively associated with termite mounds. For the miombo woodlands eight ecological groups of indicator species are proposed.

The fauna of Iranian Anthribidae and Nemonychidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) is summarized in this paper. In total, 13 species within nine genera of Anthribidae (Allandrus LeConte, 1876, Enedreytes Schoenherr, 1839, Platyrhinus Clairville, 1798, Platystomos D.H. Schneider, 1791, Dissoleucas Jordan, 1925, Noxius Jordan, 1936, Araecerus Schoenherr, 1823, Choragus Kirby, 1819, and Bruchela Dejean, 1821), and two species of Nemonychidae of the genus Nemonyx L. Redtenbacher, 1845 are listed as occurring in Iran. Two Anthribidae species, Choragus vittatus Reitter, 1885 and Bruchela cretacea K. Daniel & J. Daniel, 1903 are new records for the fauna of Iran.

A checklist of the fishes of Ascension Island is presented. The speciesRhincodon typus,Alopias superciliosus,Isurus oxyrinchus,Carcharhinus obscurus,Galeocerdo cuvier,Sphyrna lewini,Hexanchus griseus,Manta birostris,Gymnothorax vicinus,Hippocampussp.,Epinephelus itajara,Cookeolus japonicus,Apogon pseudomaculatus,Phaeoptyx pigmentaria,Remora albescens,Caranx bartholomaei,Carangoides ruber,Decapterus tabl,Seriola dumerili,Thalassoma sanctaehelenae,Cryptotomussp.,Ruvettus pretiosus,Acanthocybium solandri,Auxis rochei,Auxis thazard,Euthynnus alletteratus,Katsuwonus pelamis,Thunnus alalunga,Thunnus obesus,Xiphias gladius,Istiophorus platypterus,Kajikia albida,Makaira nigricans,Tetrapturus pfluegeri,Hyperoglyphe perciformis,Schedophilussp.,Cantherhines macrocerus,Sphoeroides pachygasterandDiodon eydouxiiare recorded for the first time from Ascension Island. We have recognized two previous records as identification errors and indicate 11 other records as doubtful. Including the 40 new records, we now list 173 fish species from Ascension Island, of which 133 might be considered ‘coastal fish species’. Eleven of these (8.3%) appear to be endemic to the island and a further 16 species (12%) appear to be shared endemics with St Helena Island.

The current knowledge of pseudoscorpions in Estonia is summarized, based on specimens preserved in various Estonian collections and new material collected from 1993 to 2015. Altogether 474 studied specimens belonged to 14 species, including nine species recorded from Estonia for the first time. Supplemented by Apocheiridium rossicum, listed by literature data only, the number of known Estonian pseudoscorpions is now set at 15. The findings of Mesochelifer ressli are the northernmost known for the species. Some ecological and phenological observations were made on the most common species, along with notes on the habitat preferences of other species and the use of different trapping methods. The composition of the known Estonian fauna is compared with the published records from the neighbouring countries, revealing a highest similarity to the Finnish fauna.The possible occurrence of other species in Estonia and the latitudinal species diversity gradient in the Eastern Baltic region are shortly discussed.
