Three new troglobitic trechine ground beetle species are described from three caves in eastern and southeastern Serbia: Duvalius (Paraduvalius) bogovinae sp. n., from the Bogovinska Pecina Cave, village of Bogovina, Kucajske Planine Mts., near Boljevac, eastern Serbia; D. (P.) milutini sp. n., from the Samar cave system, village of Kopajkosara, Mt. Kalafat, near Svrljig, southeastern Serbia, and D. (P.) beljanicae sp. n., from the Velika Atula Cave, village of Strmosten, Mt. Beljanica, near Despotovac, eastern Serbia. The new species are easily distinguished from relatives. All important morphological features, along with the diagnoses and illustrations of the new taxa are presented. The new species are relicts and endemics of eastern and southeastern Serbia. They probably belong to old phyletic lineages of Tertiary or even pre-Tertiary origin.

A new endogean bembidiine ground beetle species, Winklerites serbicus sp. n., from a cave in the southeastern part of Serbia is both described and diagnosed. Male and female genital structures and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The new species is clearly distinct from its closest congeners. Fifteen species of the genus so far known are arranged in six groups. The new species is both endemic and relict, inhabiting southeastern Serbia only.

The following two new troglobitic trechine ground beetle species are described from two caves in eastern and southeastern Serbia: Duvalius (Paraduvalius) petrovici sp. n., from the Resavska Pecina Cave, village of Jelovac, near Despotovac, Kucajske Planine Mts., and D.

A new trechine ground beetle species, Duvalius (Neoduvalius) bozidari sp. n. (from two underground objects in the surroundings of the city of Valjevo, western Serbia), is described and diagnosed in the current study. The male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important morphological structures are presented. The new species is clearly different from the closest relatives and is endemic to caves in a limited area in western Serbia.

A contribution to the knowledge of the ground beetles in Iran is given. The ground beetle diversity in Iran is rich, with 1135 known species and subspecies in total so far, and 20% percent of them are endemic. However, the Iranian fauna is still not well known. In this paper, five new taxa of ground beetles are described: Leistus (Pogonophorus) spinibarbis zagrosensis ssp. n., Trechus kouroshi sp. n., Atranus dariushi sp. n. from Zagros, and Philorhizus flavocorpus sp. n. and Philorhizus kermanus sp. n. from Kerman; four new synonyms are established: Poecilus (Ancholeus) aeneolus (Chaudoir, 1868) syn. n. and Poecilus (Ancholeus) hafezi (Morvan, 1975) syn. n. = Poecilus (Ancholeus) puncticollis (Dejean, 1828); Poecilus (Ancholeus) iranicus (Morvan, 1974) syn. n. = Poecilus (Derus) advena (Quensel, 1806), and Olegius turkmenicus Komarov, 1996 syn. n. = Pogonopsis pallida Bedel, 1898; and the first records of nine species for Iran are provided: Porotachys ottomanus ssp. ottomanus Schweiger, 1968, Tachyura (Tachyura) shahinei (Schatzmayr & Koch, 1934), Tachyura (Tachyura) conspicua (Schaum, 1863), Polyderis algiricus (Lucas, 1846), Polyderis impressipennis (Motschulsky, 1860), Pogonopsis pallida Bedel, 1898, Chlaenius (Trichochlaenius) albissoni Reitter, 1908, Philorhizus crucifer ssp. crucifer (Lucas, 1846), and Demetrias monostigma Samouelle, 1819.

Two new species of Russula are described and illustrated in this paper. Russula clavulus is recognised by a pale yellow pileus centre, white margin with tuberculate striation, white to pale lamellae with small pale yellow spots, white to light yellow spore print, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid spores with short or long ridges and hymenial cystidia on lamellae sides that are mainly subclavate or fusiform. Russula multilamellula is morphologically characterised by the brownish orange to hazel pileus centre and satin white to yellowish-white margin with brownish tinge, lamellulae that are usually irregular in length and often anastomosing with lamellae, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid spores with short or long ridges and clavate hymenial cystidia. The combination of morphological features and multigene phylogenetic analyses of ITS-nrLSU-RPB2-mtSSU data indicated that these two new taxa belong to Russula subg. Heterophyllidia sect. Ingratae.

A New Species

The present study describes a new ground-beetle species (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Madeira island (type localities: FANAL and RIBEIRO BONITO), Orthomus (Nesorthomus) susanae Serrano & Borges, n. sp. Adults were sampled by means of pitfall traps. This work provides diagnostic characters, in particular the structure of male genitalia, and the distribution of this new species. Affinities to putative relatives and a key for the identification of males of the eight Orthomus (Nesorthomus) species of the Madeira island are also given.

Close Relationship

The first two non-European Cryptonura, C. persica sp. nov. and C. maxima sp. nov. from Iran are described and illustrated. Within the genus both new species are well defined, C. persica sp. nov. is easily distinguished by only two chaetae Di on Th.II–III and ogival labrum, C. maxima sp. nov. is recognizable due to numerous chaetae in group L on abdomen IV. Analysis of their morphological features indicate rather close relationship between them. New taxa are also similar to C. jubilaria Smolis, 2002 from Poland, nevertheless, they differ in many substantial characters e.g. colour of body, shape of dorsal tubercles, cheatotaxy of labrum and antennae. Differences between them and other species of the genus are presented in an updated key to Cryptonura and discussion.

Terrestrial Biodiversity

Knowledge of the biodiversity of Madeiran islands has for long attracted entomologists in search of new, rare or biologically interesting beetle species. During the XIXth century, Trevor Wollaston extensively sampled the Madeiran islands, compiling a list of almost 700 beetle species, many of them new to science and described by him (e.g., Wollaston 1854, 1865). Thus, for many decades it was thought that the inventory of Madeiran beetle diversity was complete (Machado 2006, but see Lobo & Borges 2010). However, particularly in recent decades, a number of beetle species (most of them of small size and from groups taxonomically more difficult) have been described (see a complete list in Borges et al. 2008b) and important taxonomic revisions have also been made incorporating critical analysis by taxonomic experts. For these reasons, it was as a surprise to find a medium-size and yet undescribed ground beetle species following an extensive survey of epigean arthropods occurring in Madeiran laurel forest fragments. The new species was described in a generic revision of Madeiran Orthomus Chaudoir, 1838 submitted to Zootaxa (Serrano et al. 2009) and the species was included in the comprehensive list of Madeiran terrestrial biodiversity (Borges et al. 2008a), a reference publication on Madeiran fauna and flora published in May 2008. This book also presented a chapter where the distribution of the new species was modelled using predictive distribution models (Jiménez-Valverde et al. 2008).

Abstract Two new species from southern China, Russula subpunicea and R. albolutea, were described and illustrated. Russula subpunicea is characterized by a pinkish to dark pink pileus with striations at the margin, white lamellae without lamellulae, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores with warts and spines sometimes joined to form a reticulum, hymenial cystidia that are mainly clavate, a suprapellis mainly composed of chains of short inflated cells with attenuated terminal cells and pileocystidia that are mainly clavate and turn reddish in sulfovanillin. Russula albolutea is recognized by a yellowish white pileus with long striations at the margin, a white stipe with a yellowish tinge, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores, hymenial cystidia that are mainly clavate and apically often obtuse and turn mauve in sulfovanillin, and a suprapellis mainly consisting of chains of short inflated cells with attenuated terminal cells. In this study, we performed phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS-nrLSU-RPB2-mtSSU dataset. By combining detailed morphological features with multigene phylogenetic evidence, we assigned the new taxa to Russula subsect. Virescentinae.
