The new records of five species of Limoniidae (Diptera) are given: Rhabdomastix beckeri (Lackschewitz, 1935) and Scleroprocta pentagonalis (Loew, 1873) are recorded for the first time from Russia; the first reliable record of Eloeophila mundata (Loew, 1871) from Russia is given; Hexatoma fuscipennis (Curtis, 1836) and H. nubeculosa nubeculosa (Burmeister, 1829) are recorded for the first time from NE European Russia. It is found that the larvae of four species, R. beckeri, S. pentagonalis, E. mundata and H. fuscipennis, in NE European Russia (Perm Territory and Udmurtia) are aquatic psammorheophilous forms inhabiting sandy sediments at the bottom of rivers in sites with strong current. Previously the larvae in these genera and in three of these species have been considered mostly as semiaquatic forms that develop in substrata near the water margin. Larval habitats of the four species in the study area are characterized. The photographs of diagnostic characters of adult males of these species are given.

Using the nudibranch genus Amphorina as a model, ongoing speciation is demonstrated, as well as how periodic-like patterns in colouration can be included in an integrated method of fine-scale species delimitation. By combining several methods, including BPP analysis and the study of molecular, morphological, and ecological data from a large number of specimens within a broad geographic range from northern Europe to the Mediterranean, five species are recognised within the genus Amphorina, reviewed here for the first time. Two new species from the southwestern coast of Sweden are described, A. viriolasp. nov. and A. andrasp. nov. Evidence is provided of a recent speciation process between the two closely related, yet separate, species which inhabit the same geographic localities, but demonstrate strict water depth differentiation, with one species inhabiting the shallow brackish top layer above the halocline and the other species inhabiting the underlying saltier water. The results presented here are of relevance for currently debated issues such as conservation in relation to speciation, fine species delimitation, and integration of molecular, morphological and ecological information in biodiversity studies. The periodic approach to taxonomy has considerable practical potential for various organismal groups.

The distribution of Hexatoma (Eriocera) ussuriensis Alexander is analyzed on the basis of the authors' original material and the specimens kept in the collection of the Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg (including the types). Diagnostic characters of H. ussuriensis are summarized. H. ussuriensis is recorded for the first time from Mongolia, Japan and eastern Siberia (including new records from five provinces of Russia: Kemerovo Province, Republic of Altai, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk Province, and Buryatia). The known distribution of this species is wide; it ranges from ca. 61° to 43°N, from 30 to 650 m above the sea level, and covers different landscape-climatic zones (from boreal forest to dry steppe). Records of H. ussuriensis are confined mostly or entirely to different-type running waters, which probably serve as larval habitats. They are briefly characterized and illustrated. Adults of H. ussuriensis were for the first time reared from larvae collected in the Chikoi River (Buryatia, Russia).

Five species of Simuliidae are reported for the first time from the Solomon Islands of Santa Isabel, Malaita, and Makira, and Kolumbangara and Rendova of the New Georgia Island group. One newspecies, Simulium (Gomphostilbia) rhopaloides Craig, Englund & Takaoka, from Guadalcanal is described. The new material consists mainly of immature larvae, which, while allowing assignment to subgenus, do not always allow identification to species. The probability of other new species is suggested. The record for Makira is the most easterly known for the subgenus Morops, as are those for Gomphostilbia from Guadalcanal and Malaita. Larval habitats on the islands are illustrated. A brief synopsis of the paleogeology of the Solomon Islands is given as a basis for preliminary comments on distribution and biogeography of the known species of Simuliidae, now 10, for the Solomon Islands.

The species of the ant genusStrumigenysSmith, 1860 found in Hong Kong are reviewed based on new sampling efforts performed over the past five years (2014–2018). Prior to this, 12Strumigenysspecies had been recorded from Hong Kong, all confirmed here. Moreover, we add to this list three newly described species:S.hirsutasp. n.,S.lantauisp. n., andS.nathistorisocsp. n., and describe for the first time the worker caste ofS.formosaTerayama, Lin & Wu, 1995. We report new records for nine additional species, bringing the total number of species to 24, including four newly recorded species (S.hexameraBrown, 1958,S.membraniferaEmery, 1869,S.nepalensisBaroni Urbani and De Andrade, 1994, andS.rogeriEmery, 1890) which are considered to be introduced to Hong Kong. A global review of the introducedStrumigenysspecies is presented. The taxonomic validity ofS.feaeandS.formosensisis discussed in light of new specimen measurements. New ecological information on the swarming periods of 11 species is presented on the basis of year-long sampling of aerial insects. Finally, the importance of our results within Southeast Asia and the need for future sampling efforts in the region is discussed.

Insight Into

Good environmental management needs evidence-based conservation measures, and those measures need both faunistical and ecological information. Following this path, for the first time in Serbia, a faunistical research of spiders at Subotica Sandland was organised in 2014 as a base for ecological arguments in landscape management of the area. The spiders were collected at ten different habitats on sandy soil, in the period from 27th April till 30th October by pitfall trapping and sweep netting. A total of 16304 adult and 7246 juvenile individuals were captured, and 225 species from 27 families were determined. Thirty species represent new records for Serbia. Diversity and species compositions provided an insight into the quality of the habitats and the influence of the conservation and development measures that were already applied. The main endangerment factors are outlined. Conclusions and suggestions according to the analysis of the spider fauna, are mostly in correlation with those made earlier based on other groups of organisms. Within the scope of nature protection, wet and sandy meadows are prioritised over the woods. For future monitoring, two flagship and umbrella species are suggested: Argiope lobata (Pallas, 1772) for the sandy area and Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) for the wetlands.

This paper discusses the preliminary results of the first comprehensive survey of the spiders of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (BTNR) in Singapore. Two plots were established in each of the three zones of vegetation, viz., primary forest, old secondary forest, and maturing secondary forest. They were repeatedly sampled over an 18-month period. Sorting of the collection so far suggests that the three vegetation zones harbour rather different spider assemblages. Only ~9% of the total spider fauna recovered was shared by all three zones. The results have also yielded a preliminary picture of dominance, abundance and rarity. Although first intended to obtain a baseline for future quantitative analyses, the survey became a testing ground to modify and refine methodology so as to conduct future quantitative surveys with greater scientific rigour. Taxonomic work on the samples so far shows that the spiders in the BTNR span over 43 families, of which six families are listed for the first time in Singapore. The tally is summarised in an interim checklist of BTNR spiders. The checklist, with a total of 317 entries, shows that there are 158 described species of spiders in BTNR, of which 25 species are new records for Singapore. Another 159 morphospecies are provisionally recognised as distinct species, some of which may be new to science. Our observations during the survey have allowed us to provide a narrative of BTNR spider diversity against a backdrop of their microhabitat specialisation.
