Medicinal Leeches

Until the beginning of the 21st century, the famous medicinal leech was thought to be represented by only one species, Hirudo medicinalis. However, recent publications have demonstrated that under that name, at least five different species of medicinal leeches were hidden. During the last decade, the biogeography of Western-Palaearctic leeches has begun to unravel, untangling their diversity in practically all of Europe, except for its westernmost peninsula, Iberia. Hirudo medicinalis has been repeatedly reported from Iberia, but those records were considered questionable. We discovered H. verbana in northern Spain, constituting its first record in Iberia. Using an integrative approach (combining morpho-anatomical data and molecular analyses using three genes, COI,12S rRNA, and ITS2), two endemic and geographically separated Iberian lineages have been found. One of them is easily distinguished by its distinctive colour-pattern and is described as H. verbana bilineata ssp. nov. We characterized the new subspecies morphologically, ecologically, and genetically. We also established its phylogenetic relationships with other European Hirudo spp. and confirm the presence of H. troctina in Iberia, occurring as far as 43° lat. N. Iberian H. verbana records constitute its westernmost known distribution to date. The provided distribution pattern of H. verbana contributes to a better understanding of the complexity of Iberia as a glacial refugium/cradle for endemisms, harbouring populations with a high degree of genetic structure that began to settle throughout the Pleistocene. Iberian Hirudo populations are declining in recent decades and there is an urgent need to assess their conservation status and to initiate conservation measures to reverse their decline.

Data on the ichneumonid parasitoid wasps of the subfamily Pimplinae from Ukraine are summarized. The fauna of the Ukrainian pimplines numbers 35 genera and 146 species equivalent to almost 63% of European fauna. Twenty-four species are recorded from Ukraine for the first time. Pimpla femorella Kasparyan, 1974 is a first record for Western Palaearctic. The highest species richness (91–94 spp.) occurs in Ivano-Frankivsk and Transcarpathian Regions situated mostly in the Carpathian Mountains basin. The Carpathian Montane Forests were found to be the most species rich (112 species) of the six ecoregions present in Ukraine. The flight period of Pimplinae-wasps in Ukraine lasts nine months with a maximum number of species collected in June and genera in July respectively.

Abstract In this paper, two new Miridae species are described from Turkey, Adelphophylus oenderi sp. nov. from Silifke (Mersin province) and Phytocoris (Exophytocoris) carapezzai sp. nov. from Merkez (Karaman province). Habitus of males and females and male genitalia of both species and female genitalia of A. oenderi sp. nov. are illustrated. Additionally, 10 Heteroptera species are recorded from Turkey for the first time: Campylomma miyamotoi Yasunaga, 2001, Compsidolon (Compsidolon) elegantulum Reuter, 1899, Hallodapus concolor (Reuter, 1890), Maurodactylus kukuensis V. G. Putshkov, 1978, Pinalitus viscicola (Puton, 1888), Platycranus alkestis Linnavuori, 1999, Zanchius breviceps (Wagner, 1951), Montandoniola moraguesi (Puton, 1896), Temnostethus (Temnostethus) gracilis Horváth, 1907, and Plinthisus (Isioscytus) minutissimus Fieber, 1864. Campylomma miyamotoi Yasunaga, 2001, an Eastern Palaearctic species bound to the ornamental Albizia julibrissin, is a new potentially alien species in the Western Palaearctic. The species status of Compsidolon (Compsidolon) parietariae V. G. Putshkov, 1984 is discussed.

AbstractThe Holarctic genus Cetema Hendel is revised, with special reference to the Nearctic fauna. There are four Nearctic species: C. elongata Meigen; C. nigripalpis sp. n., C. procera Loew, and C. subvittata Loew. This is the first record of the Palaearctic species C. elongata in the Nearctic region. All Nearctic species are described and illustrated. The Palaearctic species C. paramyopina Collin is synonymized with C. neglecta Tonnoir and a key to all described species of Cetema is provided. A phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of the genus, as well as the monophyly of the subgenera Archecetema Nartshuk and Cetema. The Nearctic species do not form a monophyletic group. Zoogeographic analysis suggests that the genus originated in the eastern Palaearctic and subsequently colonized North America via a Beringian connection, probably in the early to mid-Tertiary. Following speciation in the eastern Nearctic, the more derived lineages of Cetema recolonized the western Palaearctic, probably via a North Atlantic land connection prior to the late Miocene.

A new species of the genus Dinotrema Foerster, 1863 with enlarged propodeal spiracles, D. kovali sp. nov. collected in the Mangupskaya I Cave on Baba-Dagh Mountain (Baba-Dagh Plateau) of the Bakhchisaray District of Crimean Peninsula, is described and illustrated. A new species is the most similar to the Western Palaearctic D. erythropum Foerster, 1863 and D. stigmaticum (Tobias, 1992). This is the first record of the genus Dinotrema in the caves of the Eastern Europe.
