Marine caves possess unique biocoenotic and ecological characteristics. Sessile benthic species such as sponges associated with cave habitats typically show a marked zonation from the cave entrance towards the end of the cave. We describe three semi-submerged karstic caves of 50 to 83 m length and 936 to 2,291 m3volume from the poorly explored cavernicolous fauna of North-East Bulgaria. We surveyed sponge diversity and spatial variability. Eight demosponge species were identified based on morphological and molecular data, of which six are known from the adjacent open sea waters of the Black Sea. Two species,Protosuberites denhartogivan Soest & de Kluijver, 2003 andHalichondria bowerbankiBurton, 1930, are reported from the Black Sea for the first time. The spatial sponge distribution inside the caves is in general similar, but shows some differences in species composition and distribution depending on cave relief and hydrodynamics. The species composition of sponges of Bulgarian caves is found to be different from Crimean caves. An updated checklist of the Black Sea sponges is provided.

The paper presents the first review on species composition and distribution of ground beetles of Lebiinae Bonelli, 1810, subfamily (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Lithuania. During the study, all available related published sources have been reviewed. A total of 482 records have been analyzed and more than 700 specimens collected since 1923 have been examined. Lebiinae subfamily is presented by 2 tribes in Lithuania. The tribe Odocanthini is monotypical with a single species. The other one, Lebiini tribe, is more diverse, represented by 4 subtribes, 7 genera and 24 species. The information on distribution, frequency and some features of ecology and zoogeography of 25 Lebiinae species found in Lithuanian is detailed. Demetrias atricapillus (Linnaeus, 1758) is reported for the first time for Lithuanian fauna and Philorhizus notatus (Stephens, 1827) is removed from the list of Lithuanian beetles.

The data on the distribution and habitat confinement of one Mantodea species and44 Orthoptera species in the Mordovia State Nature Reserve are given. Of these, one species of Orthoptera (Calliptamus italicus) isrecorded for the first time for the Mordovia State Nature Reserve, four species (Mantis religiosa, Phaneroptera falcata, Conocephalusfuscus, Tettigonia caudata) are recently penetrated, one species (Conocephalus fuscus) is reported in the Republic of Mordovia for thefirst time. In the fauna of mantids and orthopterans of the Mordovia Reserve, three ecological groups were identified: polytopic, notconfined to certain biotopes (14 species), hygrophilous representatives of intrazonal habitats (5 species) and xerophiles. Among thelatter, there are species of extrazonal habitats (13 species) and confined to dry pine forests (7 species). The steppe group was notrepresented. For the three key habitats with the largest number of identified species, brief botanical descriptions are given. Factorsinfluencing the species composition and current state of fauna of mantises and orthopterans of the Mordovia Reserve are discussed, andmeasures are proposed for the conservation of vulnerable species.

Some additional data to the genus Bombax L. (Malvaceae- Bombacoideae) for the flora of Vietnam   Phan Kế Lộc1, Nguyễn Thị Nhung2, Nguyễn Thị Ánh Duyên3 1Faculty of Biology, VNU University of Science, 334 Nguyễn Trãi, Thanh Xuân, Hanoi, Vietnam 2VNU University of Education, 144 Xuân Thủy, Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, Vietnam   Abstract: Bombax L. (Malvaceae- Bombacoideae) is a small genus with 8 species, distributed in Old World. Up to now there are 4 species of Bombax registered for the flora of Vietnam, namely B. albidum Gagnep., B. anceps Pierre, B. ceiba L. and B. insigne Wall. Goal of this paper is to contribute some additional data of its species composition and distribution. Specimens of six collecting numbers (three of native and three of cultivated species) were collected, studied and housed at the herbarium (HNU) of the Hanoi University of Science, Vietnam National University. Due to the lacking of branchlets bearing leaves and flowers of collected specimen P 7660 is named as Bombax cf. cambodiense Pierre, new occurrence for the flora. Bombax anceps Pierre for the first time was seen and taken photos in northwestern Son La Province, far from the main locations in the south. Morphological characters mainly of abaxial face calyx, petals, stamens and pistil of cultivated Bombax ceiba L. are illustrated. The occurrence of Bombax insigne Wall. is not confirmed by herbarium specimens. Comparaison of main morphological characteristics of studied Bombax taxa are presented.

Altogether 140 oribatid species were found in this territory, belonging to 42 families and 80 genera or subgenera; from them 127 oribatid species were found on the territory NP Wigry for the first time. Records of four species Brachychthonius impressus Moritz, 1976, Quadroppia monstruosa Hammer, 1979, Suctobelba regia Moritz, 1970 and Zetorchestes flabrarius Grandjean, 1951 are new for the fauna of Poland.

AbstractSpecies composition of intermediate hosts of Elaphostrongylus cervi — terrestrial snails, prevalence and intensity of their infection in natural invasions have been determined. The intermediate hosts of E. cervi are Succinea putris, Bradybena fruticum, Perforatella bidentata and Zonitoides nitidus. From June to August the percentage of snails S. putris infected with E. cervi larvae has been on constant level and in September and October decreased. Snails B. fruticum the highest prevalence of invasion showed on July and later it successively lowered. In the case of P. bidentata prevalence of E. cervi infection was the lowest in August, and than raised up to the highest value in October. For the first time the highest extensiveness of spontaneous infection has been found in P. bidentata. Till now as the most infected species of snail always has been noted S. putris. The highest intensity of infection — 242 larvae was found in B. fruticum, and little lower 73- 202 in S. putris. In two other species intensiveness ranged from 1 to 23 larvae. The most important role in spreading of E. cervi in Białowieża Forest fulfil S. putris and B. fruticum because of their high number in environment and P. bidens because of the highest intensiveness of infection.

Abstract A thorough understanding of malaria vector species composition and their bionomic characteristics is crucial to devise effective and efficient vector control interventions to reduce malaria transmission. It has been well documented in Africa that malaria interventions in the past decade have resulted in major changes in species composition from endophilic Anopheles gambiae to exophilic An. arabiensis. However, the role of cryptic rare mosquito species in malaria transmission is not well known. This study examined the species composition and distribution, with a particular focus on malaria transmission potential of novel, uncharacterized Anopheles cryptic species in western Kenya. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS2 and COX1 genes revealed 21 Anopheles mosquito species, including two previously unreported novel species. Unusually high rates of Plasmodium sporozoite infections were detected in An. funestus, An. gambiae and eight cryptic rare species. Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae and P. ovale sporozoite infections were identified with large proportion of mixed species infections in these vectors. This study, for the first time, reports extensive new Anopheles cryptic species involved in the malaria transmission in western Kenya. These findings underscore the importance of non-common Anopheles species in malaria transmission and the need to target them in routine vector control and surveillance efforts.

AbstractStudies on fungus-feeding thrips were carried out in two national parks ranked as biosphere reserves: the Białowieża National Park (north-east Poland) and the Bieszczady National Park (south-east Poland). IBL-2 screen traps were used as the main method in the forest communities. Traps were deployed in managed forests and the strict reserve in the Bialowieża NP, and along two trails in the lower forest belt up to its upper border with mountain meadows in the Bieszczady NP. Using IBL-2 traps revealed the presence of ten mycophagous species in the Białowieża NP and six in the Bieszczady NP. In the formerHoplothrips carpathicus,H. fungi,H. unicolorandH. polysticti, and in the latterH. carpathicusandMaderothrips longisetiswere recorded for the first time in Poland.
