A new Western Palaearctic species of the genus Platyspathius Viereck, 1911, P. picardi sp. nov. is described and illustrated. This species is the most similar to the Afrotropical P. clymene Nixon, 1941 and the Eastern Palaearctic P. hospitus Belokobylskij et Ku, 2001 with which it is compared. A key for determination of the Palaearctic species of Platyspathius is provided.

We describe Ochthebius (Enicocerus) aguilerai sp.n. from central Iberia. The species belongs to the O. exsculptus group, including O. legionensis Hebauer & Valladares, O. halbherri Reitter, O. colveranus Ferro and O. exsculptus Germar. There are few consistent differences in external morphology among species of the group, but characters of the aedeagus allow the unequivocal recognition of the new species. A molecular phylogeny of the European species of subgenus Enicocerus based on fragments of four mitochondrial and two nuclear genes recognised O. aguilerai sp.n. as sister to the remaining species of the O. exsculptus group, which according to molecular clock estimations seems to have an Iberian origin in the Late Miocene (Tortonian). There are two genetically distinct lineages within O. exsculptus, one in South Spain and a second from the Pyrenees to Ireland, but the lack of consistent morphological differences between them, and the incomplete sampling of other Iberian populations of the species, prevents the recognition of distinct taxa.

AbstractThe descriptions of pupae of three Western Palaearctic species of Erebidae (subfamily Herminiinae), namely Idia calvaria (Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775), Pechipogo flavicrinalis (Andreas, 1910), and Nodaria nodosalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851), and three species of Noctuidae (subfamilies Acronictinae and Bryophilinae), namely Oxicesta geographica (F., 1787), Simyra dentinosa (Freyer, 1839), and Cryphia ochsi Boursin, 1940 are given. The main morphological features are described, compared with those of the related taxa and also illustrated in 57 line drawings. The systematic status and position of the described species present in the current systems are also discussed from the point of view of morphology of their pupae.

A New Species

The Western Palaearctic species of Ptinomorphus Mulsant & Rey, 1868 (Coleoptera: Ptinidae, Eucradinae) described by M. Pic and synonymized under P.imperialis (Linnaeus, 1767) and P. magnificus (Reitter, 1880) are reviewed. A new species P. janae sp. nov. is described. P. tauricolus (Pic, 1906) and P. caucasicus (Pic, 1901) are removed from synonymy with P. magnificus; the status of P. perpulchrus (Obenberger, 1917) is clarified and P. angustior (Pic, 1896) is reinstated as a full species. P. angustior var. maculatus (Pic, 1922), which is currently treated as a synonym of P. imperialis is synonymised with P. magnificus. A key is provided to the Western Palaearctic species of Ptinomorphus.

A New Species

The luteitarsis species group of the aphidophagous genus Pipiza Fallén is defined as a monophyletic unit and the European species of this group are revised. Based on material from Serbia found at two lowland localities, P. luteibarba n. sp. is described. This species is closely related to P. luteitarsis Zetterstedt and P. accola Violovitsh. A key for the West Palaearctic species of the Pipiza luteitarsis species group is provided and records of all species from the Balkan Peninsula are presented. The distribution of the new species is discussed and conservation implications considered.
