Colobopsis truncata is a common Mediterranean species distributed mostly in southern and central Europe. In Romania, the species is expected to be widely distributed, but data are scarce. Both minor workers and soldiers of the species were collected in different sites during field observations in the spring of 2020. Herein we report the first record of Colobopsis truncata from Moldova and new records for southern Romania.

Two New Species

The European and Mediterranian specimens of the tribe Xantholinini deposited in the Museum of Zoology, Lund, Sweden, were examined. Two new species are described: Phacophallus tuniseus n. sp. from Tunisia (closely related to P. parumpunctatus (Gyllenhal) from Europe), and Xantholinus cypriacus n. sp. from Cyprus. Keys to Mediterranean species of subgenus Calolinus (genus Xantholinus) and Phacophallus are provided. Geonemic data for other 23 species are presented. The following new records are provided: Milichilinus decorus, Leptophius flavocinctus, Hypnogyra angularis, Stenistoderus cephalotes (first record from Bulgaria), Leptophius flavocinctus, Stenistoderus cephalotes, Xantholinus coiffaiti (first record from Corfu), Xantholinus rufipennis (first record from Crete), and X. morandi (first record from Majorca).

Poa maroccana is an annual Mediterranean species, which is recorded for the first time from Sicily and for the whole Italian territory. It usually occurs in synanthopic habitats, represented mainly by urban and suburban roadsides, where it is quite sporadic. Based on current knowledge, it has been hitherto reported only in a few localities of the Mediterranean area, particularly in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Syria and Crimea. Field observations and herbarium investigations have shown that this species is often mistaken for P. annua, mainly due to its morphological similarities, as well as for the same ecological needs, therefore its real geographical distribution has yet to be verified. Although the two species are both tetraploids (2n = 28), they clearly differ for numerous relevant features concerning the shape and size of ligules, inflorescence, spikelet, glumes, palea, lemma, anthers, lodicules and seed. In order to better clarify the relationships of P. maroccana with P. annua and the other annual species of this genus occurring in the Mediterranean, its carefull a morphological description and iconography is provided, as well as a comparative morphological table of all allied species and also their analytical key for easy identification.

Abstract Schreiber’s bent-winged bat Miniopterus schreibersii is a typical Mediterranean species. To date, the northern limit of its distribution range ran along the northern ends of Slovakia. This paper describes the first record of this species in Poland, at a more northerly site for this part of Europe. On October 7, 2015, an adult female of M. schreibersii was caught in the underground part of the New Castle in Rożnów, southern Poland (49° 46′ 23.8″ N, 20° 41′ 43.1″ E; 339 m a.s.l.). Subsequent observations were made at the same site during the autumn of 2018 and 2019. The likely migration route and the causes for a widening of the species distribution range are discussed in this paper. Observations suggest that, like other Mediterranean species, it has expanded its range in northerly direction.

Vast Area

Taking into account the vast area of North Africa, the freshwater gammarid fauna of this area remains rather poorly studied. So far, 20 species of the three following genera: Echinogammarus (11 species), Gammarus (8 spp.) and Chaetogammarus (1 sp.) have been reported from the area in literature. Another species, Echinogammarus pungens (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) was found in the river Titria (Oued Titria), north-western Tunisia, in April 2010. Individuals of both sexes including ovigerous females and juveniles were recorded at the site. This is a first report of this species from Tunisia and from North Africa extending the checklist of freshwater gammarid fauna of North Africa to 21 species. Interestingly the species has apparently replaced Echinogammarus tacapensis (Chevreux et Gauthier, 1924), reported from the same section of the Titria River in 1981. Such radical exchange of gammarid fauna and sudden appearance of the species that has never before been recorded from Africa remains mysterious. Two tentative explanations of that phenomenon are taken into account. First, that E. pungens is in fact a circum-Mediterranean species and was simply overlooked in this area before. Second, that the species is a recent migrant to North African inland waters introduced accidentally either by humans or by waterfowl.

This article reports the first record of a Mediterranean species <i>Anthoxanthum aristatum</i> Boiss. in corn-growing on Olsztyn Lake District. It grows on five stands only, near Naterki village, in the central part of the region. On most localities <i>Anthoxanthum aristatum</i> attains big cover and decidedly dominate over the other species. <i>Anthoxanthum aristatum</i> occurs in seldom <i>Arnoserido-Scleranthetum</i> [(Chouard 1925) Tx.1937] association. This species hasn't been observed in the association on Olsztyn Lake District so far. Amass occurrence of <i>Anthoxanthum aristatum</i> has a degenerating effect on the <i>Arnoserido-Scleranthetum</i> association. This is very expansive species and it is possible to find the new field stands of <i>Anthoxanthum aristatum</i> on Olsztyn Lake District in the foreseeable future. It causes necessity of further studies on the expansion and distribution of this species in North-Eastern Poland.

Parasitic Isopod

This paper presents the first record of Ceratothoa steindachneri from Cornwall, making it the first resident species of the fish–parasitic isopod family Cymothoidae in Britain. The host is Echiichthys vipera (Trachinidae) the lesser weever fish, the isopod attaching to the host tongue. A complete redescription and reillustration for C. steindachneri is given, and a neotype is selected for the species Ceratothoa parallela. A key to the north-east Atlantic and Mediterranean species of Ceratothoa is included, with a brief illustrated account for each species.
