In the present paper, we report the results of a critical revision of the Myxomycetes collection of Young Naturalists Club of Zoological Museum of Moscow State University. The collection consists of 1715 specimens from 142 species in 35 genera, 11 families, and 6 orders. Comprehensive material from Moscow and Moscow Region (1112 specimens), Tver Region (191), and Tyumen Region (112) is presented in the collection. There are also numerous specimens from Irkutsk, Murmansk, Ryazan Regions, and Primorye Territory, and fragmentary collections from Astrakhan, Kaluga, Pskov, Vladimir, Yaroslavl Regions, Altai, Krasnodar, Khabarovsk Territories, Altai and Karelia Republics, as well as Crimean Peninsula and Kingdom of Cambodia (Southeast Asia). During revision we discovered two new species for Russia: Stemonitis uvifera T. Macbr. and Fuligo intermedia T. Macbr. Descriptions and illustrations of these species are presented.

The Russian Far East

Acantholycosa Dahl, 1908 is relatively large genus of wolf spiders with 28 named species and one subspecies (World Spider Catalog 2016) distributed in the Holarctic, though the majority of its species (24) is known from Russia. Although the genus is well studied due to several revisions (Marusik et al. 2004; Marusik & Omelko 2011; Omelko et al. 2016), its real species diversity remains unknown. A recent study of the collections of the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University revealed one undescribed species from Khabarovsk Province of Russia, belonging to the A. baltoroi-group of species. The main goals of this publications are the description of this new species and the proposition of an identification key to males of the A. baltoroi-group.

Based on the large examined materials of Tersilochinae from the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St Petersburg) and other world collections, faunistic records from the Palaearctic Region (mainly from Russia) for 87 tersilochine species belonging to ten genera are provided, including ten species recorded for the first time from Russia. Two new species, Probles smaragdites Khalaim, sp. nov. and Tersilochus turpiculus Khalaim, sp. nov., are described from the Russian Far East. Gelanes tootsae Khalaim, 2002 syn. nov. is synonymised with G. cuspidatus Khalaim, 2002. Tersilochus kerzhneri Khalaim, 2007 is excluded from the fauna of Europe. The male of Tersilochus impunctator Khalaim, 2012 is recorded for the first time. Specimens of Tersilochinae, deposited in the Zoological Institute RAS (St Petersburg) and the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (Moscow) and briefly mentioned from the former USSR by K. Horstmann in his revisions (1971, 1981), are found, re-examined, and their complete label data are provided.

The paper provides the results of seven-year study of downy mildew on Skadovsky Zvenigorod Biological Station of Moscow State University (ZBS MSU, Moscow Region). A total of 29 species of Peronosporales (Oomycota) were revealed during the study. An annotated list of species is presented, among them Peronospora anemones is recorded for the first time for Russia, P. chelidonii and P. stachydis are new for the European part of Russia, 8 species are new for the Moscow Region.

The identity of the poorly known bagrid catfish Pseudomystus moeschii (Boulenger, 1890) is clarified and the species redescribed. Two new species of closely related bagrid catfishes are also described: Pseudomystus carnosus from the Way Seputih River drainage in the province of Lampung in the southern tip of Sumatra, and P. fumosus from the Pahang River drainage in eastern Peninsular Malaysia. Pseudomystus carnosus, P. fumosus and P. moeschii can be distinguished from congeners in having an enlarged posterior process of the post-temporal, presence of long hair-like epithelial projections on the skin and long tubular extensions of the sensory pores. Pseudomystus carnosus differs from the other two species in having a pointed (vs. rounded) tip of the nuchal shield, while P. fumosus differs from the other two species in having very well developed procurrent caudal rays which are sinuously curved along the anterior edges (vs. less developed procurrent caudal rays that slope evenly along the edges). A lectotype is designated for P. moeschii.

Siberian Species

The male of Pardosa jeniseica, collected in the East-Kazakhstan Area, was first illustrated in Eskov & Marusik (1995). The authorship of the species was given as “Zyuzin, 1991”, because A.A. Zyuzin informed the authors in 1990 that a description of the species was in press. Because no such description ever appeared the authorship was given to Eskov & Marusik, and a single male specimen from East-Kazakhstan is now considered to be the holotype. It is kept in Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University. Esyunin et al. (1999) illustrated and described a female from the Urals thought to be conspecific with P. jeniseica. Conspecifity of the illustrated specimen with P. jeniseica was doubted by Marusik et al. (2000). Kronestedt (2013) was the first to illustrate the epigyne of P. jeniseica and Azarkina & Trilikauskas (2013) provided both verbal and illustrated descriptions of the female, and its epigyne and endogyne. Both sexes taken from one locality were never depicted, nor was peculiar pubescence of the male's leg I. Therefore, I decided to provide detailed illustrations and a verbal description of this species based on specimens from the place considered to be the type locality.Specimens were photographed at the Zoological Museum (University of Turku, Finland) with a Canon EOS 7D camera attached to an Olympus SZX16 stereomicroscope and a SEM JEOL JSM-5200 scanning microscope. Digital images were montaged using Helicon focus 3.10 image stacking software. All measurements are given in millimeters. The following abbreviations are used for leg segments: Fe femur, Pa patella, Ti tibia, Mt metatarsus, Ta tarsus; leg spination abbreviations: d dorsal, p prolateral, r retrolateral, v ventral. Material used in this study is deposited in the Moscow State University (ZMMU) and Zoological Museum of the University of Turku (ZMUT). I thank Seppo Koponen (Turku, Finland) for providing museum facilities and Don Buckle (Saskatoon, Canada) for editing English in the earlier draft of the manuscript.
