The Status

The article presents the Smooth rose, Rosa blanda Ait. distribution in Poland based on literature data, available herbarium materials, and shared unpublished data. R. blanda is a North American species that is cultivated and has become wild throughout Poland, where it has the status of a domestic, non-invasive kenophyte. This species is rare in Poland. Only 22 sites have been identified (mainly in the central and northwestern part of the country), as created spontaneously or as remaining from old, local cultivations. However, it cannot be excluded that this species will become invasive in the future and will negatively affect native flora species, especially through its ability to cross with other rose species (including invasive R. rugosa Thunb.).

Biological Differences

While investigating the biology of the North American species of Hypomolyx, field workers in Manitoba found a vestigial, or short-winged, and a long-winged form under apparently identical conditions in about equal numbers. Although biological differences were nor then apparent, there was doubt as to whether they were dealing with one dimorphic species or with two distinct species, A search for morphological characters brought to light numerous differences between the two forms, supporting the view that two species were present. These differences, a description the previously unrecognized species, and notes concerning the status of the genera Hylobius and Hypomolyx are reported below.

The North American species of the non-native flora of the Kyiv urban area (Ukraine): a checklist and analysisThis paper presents an annotated checklist of the North American species established in the flora of the Kyiv urban area (KUA). For each taxon, the following data are provided: distribution in the area, degree of naturalization, period of immigration, mode of immigration and ecological characteristics. The group of the North American neophytes consists of 114 species belonging to 71 genera and 36 families and 23 cultivated species and of problematic taxonomic status. Among them prevail ergasiophytes (26%), ergasiophygophytes (22%) and ephemerophytes (19%). The majority of neophytes (47%) have spread over all types of ecotopes. Among them 12 species are invasive alien plants in the KUA.

AbstractThe species of the genus Entomacis Foerster in North America north of Mexico are revised. Nineteen species (12 new), including 8 species of the Holarctic-wide perplexa species group, are keyed, described, and figured. These taxa are E. ambigua (Brues), E. apopkaensissp. nov., E. arcticasp. nov., E. cellariasp. nov., E. cepasp. nov., E. eorariasp. nov., E. floridana (Ashmead), E. grandiclavasp. nov., E. longii (Ashmead), E. mellipetiola (Ashmead), E. parambiguasp. nov., and perplexa group members E. californica (Ashmead), E. microbipunctatasp. nov., E. notioxerasp. nov., E. oulasp. nov., E. parvasp. nov., E. perplexa (Haliday), E. sapratasp. nov., and E. subemarginata (Ashmead). Hemilexodes canadensis (Harrington) is synonymized under Entomacis mellipetiola (Ashmead) (syn. nov.). The status of Entomacis latipennis (Ashmead), E. filiformis (Ashmead), and Hemilexis jessei Mann is reviewed. New character complexes, particularly chaetotaxy, are emphasized for Diapriidae species taxonomy.

scholarly journals Corrections to Phytologia,vol. 102 (3) – Rumicastrum dielsii (Poelln.) Carolin is an “alien,” R. cylindricum (Poelln.) Carolin is Elatinaceae, R. monogynum (Poelln.) Carolin is incertae sedis, and the combination in Rumicastrum for Talinum nanum Nees was neglected

The Status

In Phytologia 102 (4): 116–123, Hershkovitz recombined into Rumicastrum Ulbrich 65 Australian Montiaceae species originally classified in Calandrinia Kunth. Three of these species, all described by Karl von Poellnitz, do not pertain to Rumicastrum. The type specimen of Rumicastrum dielsii (Poelln.) Carolin is Calandrinia menziesii (Hook.) Torr. & A.Gray, a western North American species naturalized in Australia. The type specimen of Rumicastrum cylindricum (Poelln.) Carolin appears to be Bergia L. (Elatinaceae), but the species is not determined here. The type specimen of Rumicastrum monogynum (Poelln.) Carolin has not been located and may have been destroyed. The protolog is incomplete, but the specified characteristics suggest that it does not pertain to Montiaceae. Its identity is not determined here. In addition to the above, Hershkovitz listed Calandrinia pusilla Lindl., nom illegit., as a nomenclatural rather than taxonomic synonym of Rumicastrum eremaeum (Ewart) Carolin. Although homotypic, it is a taxonomic synonym. The status of other possible taxonomic synonyms combined into Rumicastrum also is discussed. Finally, Hershkovitz ascribed authorship of several Rumicastrum combinations to Roger Carolin. The question as to whether authorship should be ascribed as “Carolin ex Hershk.” is here addressed.

Holarctic Species

Sixteen North American species of the genus Saotis Förster, 1869 are reviewed. Most of them have Holarctic distribution. Four new species of this genus are described: S. erythropleura sp. nov., S. rufigaster sp. nov., S. tinctor sp. nov. and S. truncator sp. nov. The Nearctic subspecies of four Holarctic species are described and redescribed: S. brevispina lissor subsp. nov., S. granulator albator subsp. nov., S. renovata rufipes subsp. nov. and S. pygidiator nearctor Kasparyan, 2009. A key to the Nearctic species of Saotis is given. The status of the European Iskarus Kolarov, 1987 as a monotypic subgenus of the genus Saotis is justified due to peculiarities in structure of its ovipositor.

Provisional Identification

Examination of material of five cyclopoid copepod genera found in Ontario fresh waters and a comparison with species of these genera from other parts of the world closely related to Ontario species has given some very interesting results. The widespread Ectocyclops phaleratus was the species previously recorded from Ontario. However, the Ontario material fits the description of E. polyspinosus Harada, 1931, known from Taiwan. There is considerable confusion in the nomenclature of North American species of Eucyclops. In Ontario Eucyclops serrulatus is found. This widespread and variable species needs revision on the basis of worldwide material. Hence, only a provisional identification can be made now. The species previously called E. speratus in Ontario is a hitherto underscribed species, E. neomacruroides, closely related to, but we think distinct from, E. macruroides and E. speratus. The third species is Eucyclops macruroides denticulatus and the fourth is the very distinctive E. prionophorus. In the genus Tropocyclops, besides the widely occurring Tropocyclops prasinus prasinus, T. extensus was found. This latter species has been consistently identified as T. prasinus mexicanus since 1959. Four species of the genus Acanthocyclops occur in Ontario. Acanthocyclops robustus is very common; A. vernalis is rare and so are A. venustoides and A. carolinianus. We are unable to resolve the status of A. venustoides bispinosus, as only late copepodid stages of this species, and no mature adults, are available. Mesocyclops americanus, long called M. leuckarti, is now a well-documented species, much rarer than the somewhat atypical (for the genus) M. edax, well known in North America. Our proposed designations for North American species are summarized. There is a need to collect material year round from all available biotopes to document the species composition of Ontario Copepoda. Our work is also a first step in clarifying the status of North American Copepoda, comparing material from North America and elsewhere.

This study of the genus Paradejeania Brauer and Bergenstamm was originally undertaken to determine the status to be accorded the western North American representative of this genus. It has been concluded that the single North American species of this genus–rutilioides–is polytypic, so that a new subspecies is proposed for the western North American form. An undescribed species from Colombia has also been available for study, through the kindness of Dr. C. Howard Curran, and is herein described, thus establishing the occurrence of the genus Paradejeania in South America.

DESCRIPTIONS OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF BAETINE MAYFLIES WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE NYMPHAL STAGES

The Future

During the course of investigation of the mayfly fauna in streams in Ontario and Quebec it became apparent that many of the nymphs of the Baetinae are not known although the adults of most have been named. A few nymphs are described in scattered papers in the literature and a key has been made for some Baetis and Pseudocloeon (McDunnough 1932, 1932a) which satisfactorily separates groups within these genera. It would seem that in work on streams in the future these small mayflies would become increasingly important because of their abundance and wide distribution.
