A New Species

The note describes a new species of toxic cyanobacteria Microcystis wesenbergii (Komárek) Komárek ex Komárek, 2006, which was discovered after the study of the periphyton community of synthetic polymeric materials during experimental vertical exposure of 45 samples of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP). The experimental vertical module was located in the water column of the Karantinnaya Bay of the Black Sea near Sevastopol (44°37′23.0″N, 33°29′38.5″E) from August to September 2018, when the water temperature varied from +22.4 to +26.6 °C and water salinity – from 17 to 18 ‰. Microcystis wesenbergii was found at a depth of 7.6 to 9.2 m on samples of HDPE, green PET, PP, and fragments of plastic containers for polymer samples. Microcystis wesenbergii is a polymorphic, planktonic species that occurs in small quantities in the water column of stagnant and slowly flowing eutrophic and mesotrophic freshwater reservoirs; it is toxic, sometimes forming blooms; cosmopolitan, except subpolar regions. The species was found in complex colonies consisting of subcolonies reaching a maximum length of 3700 μm; the diameter of young spherical colonies ranged from 240 to 367 μm. The diameter of M. wesenbergii cells was larger than the diagnosis [(10.19 ± 0.79) μm]; the color of the cells was predominantly light brown instead of blue-green. The discovery of toxic M. wesenbergii in the Karantinnaya Bay of the Black Sea indicates high latent diversity of cyanobacteria in this water area.

A new species of the genus Cimmerites Jeannel, 1928, C. maximovitchi sp. nov., is described from the Akhunskaya Cave and Labirintovaya Cave, both located in the Akhun Karst Massif on the Black Sea Coast of the West Caucasus (Krasnodar Territory, Russia). The new species is rather isolated within the genus Cimmerites and occupies an intermediate position between species related to C. kryzhanovskii Belousov, 1998 and species close to C. vagabundus Belousov, 1998. Though both C. maximovitchi sp. nov. and C. kryzhanovskii are still known only from caves, these species are quite similar in their life form to other members of the genus which are all true endogean species.

Between October 2013 and July 2014, 40 polyclad specimens were collected during the systematic sampling of mussel beds along the coast of the Sinop Peninsula (Western Black Sea). Six species were identified, including a new Cryptocelis species. Cryptocelis sinopae sp. nov. is characterized by possessing a prostatic vesicle lined with a ridged fold in its anterior end and the presence of two secretory glandular folds in the distal dorsal wall of male atrium. Additionally, new records of Echinoplana celerrima Haswell, 1907 and Leptoplana mediterranea (Bock, 1913) are reported for the Black Sea and Turkey; and Leptoplana tremellaris (Müller OF, 1774) and Prosthiostomum siphunculus Delle Chiaje, 1822 for the coast of the Black Sea of Turkey. A short description of the reproductive behaviour of Pleioplana okusi Bulnes, Kalkan and Karahan, 2009 and Cryptocelis sinopae sp. nov. will be also provided.

The first finding of the genus Greeffiella Cobb 1922 (Greeffiellinae, Desmoscolecidae) in the Black Sea is presented. Two mature females were collected in Northwestern Shelf of Crimea in strongly silted fine sand with detritus at a water depth of 56 m. Greeffiella sp. is described and illustrated. The absence of males in the collections does not allow the authors to present it as a new species for science or to identify it as one of the known species of the genus Greeffiella. Black sea specimen is distinguished from the other known species of the genus Greeffiella with the presence of 8 pairs of thicker specific setae along the body, the basis of which looks like a small lamina, but without hairs, which was previously described for G. pierri Schrage & Gerlach, 1975 and G. australis Schrage & Gerlach, 1975. The short esophagus at the base has two salivary glands and a cardia. Cardia has not been mentioned before for the known species of the genus Greeffiella.

It is close to C. liparotensis a species recorded from Portugal and along the Mediterranean coasts to the Black Sea, but distinguished from C. liparotensis by the morphology of antenna 2, gnathopod 2 and peraeonites 3, 6 and 7. Variation from C. liparotensis is also discussed.

A New Species

Thirty-nine species of sawfly (Symphyta) are recorded for the first time in Bulgaria. Most of these were collected during early spring of 2018, in the south-east of the country (Burgas and Varna Provinces). Empriaaridicola Macek & Prous, sp. nov. is described as new to science from specimens collected in several central, east and south European countries. Lectotypes are designated for Poecilosomaparvula Konow, 1892, Empriapravei Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1925 and E.pseudoklugi Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929. Empriapravei and Sciapteryxbyzantina Benson, 1968 are at present only known in Europe from the coastal zone of the Black Sea. The new Bulgarian records of Hoplocampacantoti Chevin, 1986 and Neomessasteusloffi (Konow, 1892) represent large extensions in their recorded ranges, previously comprising respectively only northern France, and north-eastern Germany. Possible host plant associations are noted for several species, based on observations of adults.

Overall results of several spider mite surveys performed in the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve (Ukraine) during the 1990s to 2015 are presented. A total of 20 species were found, belonging to 11 genera, from 58 different host plant species, of which one mite genus, Mesobryobia (Wainstein, 1956), and three species, M. terpoghossiani (Bagdasarian, 1959), Georgiobia richteri (Bagdasarian, 1954) and Tetranychus lonicerae Beglyarov & Mitrofanov, 1973, are new mite records to the Ukrainian acarofauna. Moreover, 15 new host plant species were also recorded as new hosts for 10 spider mite species. In addition, thanks to the newly collected material and a taxonomical historical review, and according to morphological data, we restore the genus Georgiobia Wainstein, 1960, and provide a new diagnosis of this genus. Therefore, a list of several new and reinstated combinations is provided. Finally, a new species, G. skuthiae n. sp., collected in the reserve on Agropyron sp., is described and illustrated, increasing the number of species that belong to the genus Georgiobia to nine.
