A total of 6 species of freshwater mussels under the family Unionidae, order- Unionoida were collected, which are new records for Bangladesh. The information on the distribution and ecology, population density and seasonal variation of Lamellidens phenchooganjensis, L. indawgyiensis, L. generosus, Parreysia (Parreysia) favidens var. assamensis, P. (P.) var. marcens and P. (P.) var. viridula were provided in this paper. Population density and morphometric parameters were measured. Moreover, economic importance and economic role were stated.Bangladesh J. Zool. 41(1): 29-42, 2013

This paper reports on mites of the family Pachylaelapidae collected in Bayburt Province, Turkey, during 2013–2015. Nine species were recorded in the genera Pachyseius, Olopachys, Pachylaelaps, and Onchodellus. Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) bayburtensis sp. nov., Onchodellus turcicus sp. nov. and O. montanus sp. nov. are described to new, and Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) vicarus is a new record for the Turkish mite fauna. New records extend the geographic range of Pachyseius masani, Olopachys hallidayi, and O. elongatus in Turkey.

A new species of the genus Pseudechiniscus, Pseudechiniscus papillosus sp. nov., is described and figured in this paper. This new species differs from the other species of the genus Pseudechiniscus by plate sculpture that consists of many papillae-like projections. Four new records of Echiniscus species and one new record of a Pseudechiniscus species are also reported in this article: Echiniscus cheonyoungi Moon & Kim, E. melanophthalmus Bartoš, E. nepalensis Dastych, E. trisetosus Cuénot and Pseudechiniscus asper Abe Utsugi & Takeda.

Lepidoptera were collected, primarily via UV light trap, for three seasons in the boreal mixedwood forest near Lac La Biche, Alberta. A total of 11,111 specimens were collected, representing 41 families and 438 species. A species list with flight times is presented. The total Lepidoptera community was estimated to be 546 ± 23.34 species. Abundance and species richness peaked in late July. Thirty-five species constitute new records for Alberta, while one species, Acanthopteroctetes bimaculata, is a new record for Canada, and the first record of the family Acanthopteroctetidae in Canada.

Diradops is an endemic genus of the family Ichneumonidae in the American Continent; the majority of its species in the Neotropical Region. Seven species are present in Mexico, including a new record for Mexico, D. bionica Ugalde & Gauld, 2002 (previously recorded only from Costa Rica); D. hyphantriae Kasparyan & Pinson, 2007 and D. pulcher Kasparyan, 2007 are new records for the State of Oaxaca.

Critical examinations of some unnamed specimens of the family Rubiaceae collected from Sylhet, Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar and Rangamati districts confirmed the identification of five species which have not been previously recorded from Bangladesh. These species are: Argostemma sarmentosum Wall., Mussaenda incana Wall. ex Roxb., Mycetia mukerjiana Deb & Dutta, Oxyceros rugulosus (Thwaites) Tirveng. and Tarenna helferi (Kurz) N.P. Balakr. The genus Argostemma Wall. is also a new record for Bangladesh. These species are described and illustrated along with ecology, geographical distribution and occurrence.

The knowledge about records of leeches (Hirudinea) in Baltic brackish waters of north-east Germany (Mecklenburg-West Pomerania) will be summarized. Observations were made from estuaries of rivers (Stepenitz and Warnow) and lagoons (Darss-Zingst, Stettin) as well in Baltic offshore waters (especially at the Adlergrund/Rønnebank). Altogether 33 taxa are established probably including a new Piscicola species. All species of Glossiphoniidae, Haemopidae and Erpobdellidae could live both in freshwater and oligohaline brackish water up to salinities of 2 psu, few of them even up to 3.6 psu. Only species of the family Piscicolidae are able to penetrate (or to find their optimum?) into mesohaline waters (here up to 13 psu). In the present study several first records for Germany were made in brackish waters (Piscicola kusznierzi, P. elishebae and P. wiktori). Further noteworthy observed species were shortly introduced (Glossiphonia paludosa, Placobdella costata, Italobdella epshteini, Haemopis elegans and Dina apathyi). 7 host fish species could be observed so far.

The distribution and ecology of the isopod family Haplomunnidae Wilson, 1976 are reviewed with new records given for Thylakogaster Wilson & Hessler, 1974, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and east Pacific Ocean, and for Munella Bonnier, 1896, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the eastern Atlantic near the African coast. The specimens of these two genera, collected from Lucky Strike (Mid-Atlantic Ridge), are the first record of the family from hydrothermal vent habitats. The systematics of the Haplomunnidae is updated and the synonymy of Aryballurops Gamô, 1983 with Haplomunna Richardson, 1908 is proposed. Thylakogaster lobotourus Wilson & Hessler, 1974 is redrawn from the first known intact specimen and additional description of the appendages is provided.

Sampling between 1999 and 2007 of the recent ostracod fauna of Lake Biwa, an ancient lake located in Japan, produced ten Cyprididae and one Ilyocyprididae species. One Cyprididae species, belonging to the genus Ilyodromus is described herein, Ilyodromus intermedius Okubo n. sp., and Bradleytriebella lineata (Victor & Fernando, 1981c) is redescribed. One Cyprididae species is a new record for Japan, namely Stenocypris malayica Victor & Fernando, 1981a, while seven others are new records for Lake Biwa. The family Ilyocyprididae is represented by only one species in Lake Biwa, Ilyocypris salebrosa Stepanaitys, 1960. The Lake Biwa population of this species is the first record of males and they are described in this paper. Including this study, forty ostracod species have now been reported from Lake Biwa. Most species (70%) were found at depths of less than 1 meter. Only four species were found below 44 m, the mean depth of the north basin.

As part of long term studies focused in the lichenized mycobiota diversity from southern Argentina, two species of the family Lobariaceae (Peltigerales), Pseudocyphellaria pluvialis and Sticta longipes, are registered for the first time in Argentina. These species were previously reported as endemic from southern Chile. Brief descriptions, illustrations and information about the distribution and ecology of the species are provided.

Abstract Material from Romania, collected June 30 to July 5 in 2011, included 156 species of the family Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). Of these, 126 species are newly recorded from Romania. One of the new records, Neochrysocharis marginalis Hansson, is also a new record for Europe, previously known only from North America. This material included specimens of two undescribed species which are described here as Diaulinopsis albimaxilla sp. n. and Neochrysocharis pallidicornis sp. n.
