The first records in Ukraine of two species of the genus Lysurus (Phallaceae, Phallales) are reported. Lysurus mokusin is a rare species in Europe distributed mainly in Southeast Asia. Lysurus sphaerocephalum is widespread in North and South America and thus it is also the first record for Europe. In Ukraine, they both are alien species and their appearance in the country is evidence of climate change. The article provides detailed descriptions of fruit bodies of the collected fungi, including macro- and microscopic characters, their locations, as well as distribution data in Ukraine and worldwide. The distinctions from the related species, L. cruciatus and L. periphragmoides, are described. The article is illustrated by original photographs and drawings.

The Bermuda Triangle is located in the area of the archipelago between North and South America and the Dragon Triangle is located in the area of the archipelago in Southeast Asia. There is a great resemblance between these two triangular areas; both were formed following special geological and tectonic conditions. It is herein proposed that their creation stems from the change in location of the axis of rotation of the earth and, accordingly, the change in the location of the equator.

AbstractThe identity of Phenacoccus gossypii Townsend & Cockerell is established as a local species in Mexico and southern USA. Although P. madeirensis Green was described from Madeira and is recorded from much of the African mainland, it was probably introduced from tropical America. It is now known to be common on many crop and ornamental plants in North and South America where it has often been mistaken for P. gossypii. Both species are redescribed and illustrated, and their range of variation is discussed. P. grenadensis Green & Laing and P. harbisoni Peterson are synonymized with P. madeirensis. A related species, P. baccharidis sp. n., is described from Brazil, and P. sphaeralceae sp. n. is described from Arizona. P. hurdi McKenzie is redescribed and is now recorded from an extensive area in southern USA and Mexico. All five species have numerous dorsal multilocular pores and are included in a key to 15 related species in North and South America.

Distribution In Europe

The 'cosmopolitan' lumbricid earthworm Dendrobaena pygmaea (Savigny, 1826) is reported for the first time from Asia, from the campus of Yokohama National University, Japan. It is a small detritivorous 'litter species' or 'humus feeder' found to have a simple intestinal typhlosole. Here it is briefly re-described, and its taxonomy and previously known distribution (in Europe, North Africa, North and South America) are discussed. A figure is provided. As Yokohama port was opened for foreign trade shortly after Commodore Perry's visit in 1853, the incursion of this species is probably only within the last 150 years. It is not considered to pose any particular environmental risk.

Fungal Genus

Species of the fungal genus Arthrinium (Sordariomycetes, Amphisphaeriales, Apiosporaceae) are often found on bamboo in Asia. They are endophytes, saprobes and important plant pathogens. The genus Arthrinium currently contains 92 species and is widely distributed in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. In this study, a new species, Arthrinium bambusicola sp. nov., is described and illustrated. The new taxon is characterised by oval to broadly or irregularly round, medium brown, multi-guttulate to roughened, granular conidia, with finely pale slits in the outer edges. Arthrinium bambusicola can be distinguished from the closest related species A. gutiae by its conidial characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses of a four-locus dataset (ITS, LSU, TEF1, TUB2) confirm that A. bambusicola is a distinct new species.

The ichnogenus Desmograpton Książkiewicz, 1977, is described for the first time from the Paleozoic. The ichnogenus has previously been noted from strata of Mesozoic age in Europe and North and South America (e.g., D'Alessandro, 1980; Książkiewicz, 1977; Macsotay, 1967; McCann and Pickerill, 1988). This new occurrence is also significant because it extends the geographic range of Desmograpton into Britain.

We report Talitroides alluaudi (Chevreux, 1896) from Miyako Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Although this terrestrial amphipod is distributed worldwide, including Indo-Pacific islands, Europe, and North and South America, the present specimens represent the first record of this species from Japanese islands. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence of a Miyako Island specimen was unique compared with the known COI sequences from Taiwanese and Bermudan populations.
