Based on a new herpetological collection from the Mu Cang Chai Species and Habitat Conservation Area, Yen Bai Province, we report two new records of amphibians, viz. Leptobrachella niveimontis Chen, Poyarkov, Yuan et Che, 2020 and Leptobrachella yingjiangensis (Yang, Zeng et Wang, 2018) from Vietnam. Morphological descriptions and ecological notes of afore mentioned species are provided on the basis of new materials. Our findings increase the species number of the genus Leptobrachella to 29 in Vietnam.

Floristic Inventory

The flora of Laos remains one of the least known within the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. A floristic inventory was carried out in Phou Hin Poun National Biodiversity Conservation Area, an under-explored area of the Khammouane Limestone. This study provides a list of 27 taxa that are additions to the most recent country checklists. The Ebenaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Myrtaceae are the families with the highest species number. In this list, four species are endemic to Indochina (Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam): Cynometra dongnaiensis Pierre, Jasminum vidalii P.S.Green, Memecylon chevalieri Guillaumin and Pothos gigantipes Buchet ex P.C.Boyce. These results illustrate the paucity of our knowledge of the region surveyed and of the flora of Laos in general.

Tardigrades have been occasionally studied in Turkey since 1973. However, species number and distribution remain poorly known. In this study, distribution of Tardigrades in the province of Karabük, which is located in northern coast (West Black Sea Region) of Turkey, was carried out. Two moss samples were collected from the entrance of the Bulak (Mencilis) Cave. A total of 30 specimens and 14 eggs were extracted. Among the specimens; Echiniscus granulatus (Doyère, 1840) and Diaforobiotus islandicus islandicus (Richters, 1904) are new records for Karabük. Furthermore, this study also provides a current checklist of tardigrade species reported from Turkey, indicating their localities, geographic distribution and taxonomical comments.

The Serra da Mocidade National Park is a conservation area located in one of the most inaccessible portions of Amazonia Biome in the Roraima State. The first survey of aquatic insects from that in this region was undertaken in January to February 2016 and we present a checklist of eight species of the Leptophlebiidae (Ephemeroptera) found in the Park and describe three new species of Miroculis based on male imagos.

Thirteen species of phytoseiid mites of the subfamilies Typhlodrominae and Phytoseiinae are reported for the first time from Spain. Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) baeticus sp. nov. is described and four species poorly known morphologically, Paraseiulus soleiger (Ribaga), Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) ilicis Athias-Henriot, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) recki Wainstein and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) sapiens Athias-Henriot are re-described based on new materials collected in Spain. Finally, the unknown male of Typhloseiulus eleonorae Ragusa & Swirski is described and additional morphological information is provided for other seven species.

A study of the butterfly fauna of the southern Croatian islands of Lastovo and Prežba is presented. Fieldwork was carried out from 2013 to 2018, during different vegetation seasons. Altogether 30 species were recorded during the survey, including 13 new records for Lastovo. Along with Satyrium ilicis known only from the literature, 31 butterfly species have so far been recorded on Lastovo. On Prežba, 15 species have been recorded, representing the first butterfly records for the island. With respect to the butterfly fauna, Lastovo is one of the poorest medium sized islands in the Adriatic Sea. The main reason for this is its position, as it is one of the outer islands of the Adriatic, being about 94 km from the mainland. Additionally, most of the arable and open fields on the islands were abandoned in the last century and were, until recently, almost completely overgrown with bushes and maquis. This may be another reason for such a low species number, as well as the extremely low number of observed specimens of some species.

The current account presents the results of a 14-day amphibian survey at Maliau Basin Conservation Area (MBCA). With a total of approximately 170 man-hrs, 44 species were detected at four study sites during the field period; four more species were later discovered outside the two-week campaign. The results are compared to the results of previous surveys. Apart from adults, we present the first photographic documentation of the larval stages ofChiromantisinexpectatusand BorneanPhrynoidisjuxtaspera, along with a brief tadpole description; the better-known tadpoles of four more species were recorded. The results of our expedition suggest that nine more species are present at MBCA than reported by previous studies. We present an updated list of known species in the MBCA, comprising 61 species. The species accumulation curve over the 14 days period of the core survey did not show signs of asymptotic saturation. We conclude that the definitive species number for MBCA amphibians has the potential to increase with more thorough surveys in the future.

<p>Sendi – Gajah Mungkur is one of conservation area in Taman Hutan Raya Raden Soerjo, Mojokerto Regency. This is region mostly composed by tropical rainforest with altitude of 1067 – 1174 amsl with rich biodiversity including orchids, mammals, and birds. Some evidence concerning Taman Hutan Raya Raden Soerjo’s richness are some reports and documentations about the Zoothera andromedae, Ficedula narcis, and Arborophila javanica as new records in West Java. This research is done to determine the abundance and sighting frequency of birds in Sendi – Gajah Mungkur track, Taman Hutan Raya Raden Soerjo, Mojokerto Regency using modified line transect method. Species with the most abundance and sighting frequency are Collocalia linchi, Zosterops palpebrosus, and Dicaeum sanguinolentum.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Abundance, Sighting Frequency, Sendi, Gajah Mungkur, Taman Hutan Raya Raden Soerjo</p>
