The Palearctic wool carder bee Anthidium manicatum (Linnaeus) is recorded for the first time in Chile based on eight specimens collected on Lavandula sp. (Lamiaceae) in San Bernardo, Metropolitan Region.  This new record expands the invasive range of this species in South America, confirming previous predictions based on an ecological niche model.

AbstractThe nematode Schulmanela petruschewskii (Shulman, 1948) was identified during the parasitological examination on the liver parenchyma in one specimens of a cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) which reared in Derbent Dam Lake in Samsun, Turkey (41°25′6′’ North latitude, 35°49′52′’ East longitude) in August 2008. This parasite species was not previously reported from Turkey. With the present study we report S. petruschewskii for the first time in Turkey. This specimen which is a parasite of cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a new record for the Turkish parasite fauna. Original measurements and figures are presented.

Diaziella bizarrea van Noort & Rasplus sp. nov. is described from specimens reared from Ficus glaberrima and Diaziella yangi van Noort & Rasplus sp. nov. is described from specimens reared from Ficus curtipes in Xishuangbanna, China. Together with a new record of Diaziella macroptera Grandi from Thailand this is the first time the genus has been recorded from the Asian mainland. Previously the twelve described species of Diaziella were known from the islands of Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines. Images are provided for both sexes of the two new species and for the female of D. macroptera. A key is included to all described species of Diaziella. An online key is available at: http://www.figweb.org/Fig_wasps/Pteromalidae/Sycoecinae/Key/ Diaziella.htm. Host relationships and biology are discussed.

Resumo. O cultivo da mandioca tem importância socioeconômica e de subsistência na região Norte do Brasil, sendo uma prática adotada principalmente em pequenas propriedades, por comunidades tradicionais, agricultores familiares e indígenas. Foi verificada a presença de colônias de percevejos-de-renda em plantios de mandioca localizados na terra indígena Kaxinawá de Nova Olinda, Feijó, estado do Acre. Os insetos foram capturados diretamente nas plantas, sendo identificadas as espécies Vatiga manihotae (Drake), Vatiga illudens (Drake) e Gargaphia opima Drake. Configuram-se os primeiros registros de V. manihotae, V. illudens e G. opima no estado do Acre, sendo esta última, o primeiro registro para o Brasil.Lace bugs (Hemiptera: Tingidae) associated with cassava cultivation in Nova Olinda’s Kaxinawá indigenous land, in Acre state, with new record for BrazilAbstract. Cassava cultivation has socioeconomic and subsistence importance in the northern region of Brazil, being a practice mainly adopted in small farms, by traditional communities, family farmers and indigenous people. It was verified the presence of colonies of lace bugs in cassava cultivation located in Nova Olinda’s Kaxinawá indigenous land, municipality of Feijó, Acre state, Brazil. The insects were captured directly in the plants, being identified the species Vatiga manihotae (Drake), Vatiga illudens (Drake) and Gargaphia opima Drake. Therefore, the occurrence of V. manihotae, V. illudens and G. opima in Acre state is recorded for the first time. In addition, G. opima is the first record for Brazil.

Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi, 2015, described from the state of São Paulo, is recorded for the first time in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, representing the first record of the genus and species from the state. The specimen was collected with a Malaise Dossel trap and deposited at the Entomological Collection of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Brazil). A diagnosis and illustration of this species are presented  demonstrating morphological variation of the type material. A distribution map is also provided. Gonatopus mariae is a rare species and its distribution is probably restricted to the southeastern region of Brazil.

Moringua edwardsi is recorded for the first time at Atol das Rocas, northeastern Brazil. Previous records of the species were located in the western Atlantic Ocean, from Florida to southeastern Brazil, but with many gaps between these regions. A single specimen was collected in Atol das Rocas in July 2007 and it is deposited in the Dias da Rocha Ichthyological Collection. The new record of M. edwardsi fills a geographic distribution gap of this species and complements the inventory of fish species inhabiting one of the most unique marine protected areas in the world.

A sesiid species, Tinthia tineiformis (Esper, 1789), is reported for the first time from the Maltese Islands, central Mediterranean. This new record represents the first species belonging to the subfamily Tinthiinae in Malta. The specimen was identified through morphological and genetic analyses. Observations of the live specimen revealed the use of jumping strategies by this species.


Paromius gracilis (Rambur, 1839) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae: Rhyparochrominae: Myodochini), a species broadly distributed in the Afrotropical region and subtropical parts of Eurasia, is reported for the first time from Hungary, considerably extending its known range. The identification, distribution and bionomics of the species are reviewed and the significance of the new record is briefly discussed.

AbstractThe first record of Coniochaeta prunicola Damm & Crous (Coniochaetales, Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) as a pathogen of Persica vulgaris Mill. described and illustrated from Nitra district, Slovakia. C. prunicola was isolated from symptomatic leaves of host tree and based on morphological attributes identified for the first time as a causative agent of peach tree damage. C. prunicola is characterized by dark brown ascomata clothed with setae, the fasciculate, unitunicate, cylindrical asci and broadly almond-shaped, ellipsoidal ascospores with a longitudinal germ slit.
