The horned carp, Schismatorynchos nukta (Sykes, 1839) has been recorded for the first time from Bangladesh geographical area under the investigated genus of Schismatorynchos (Bleeker 1855). This fish was collected from seine net catch while exploring the hilly upstream of Sangu river at Tindu and Remakri (Thanchi, Bandarban, Bangadesh) during the winter in 2015. The species S. nukta is mostly distributed in the upland tributaries of Krishna river systems at northern Western Ghats, Maharashtra and Karnataka in India. It is reported as endemic species of Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Its distribution (IUCN status) and habitat conditions are dealt in the present paper. The findings add some information on its global distribution form and Indian endemic status.J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2017, 3(1): 85-92

Here we describe and illustrate Syllophopsis peetersi sp. nov. from Silent Valley National Park, a biodiversity hotspot region of the Western Ghats of India. The discovery also marks a first native report of the genus from the Indian subcontinent. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis was carried out to elucidate the general morphology and sensilla of the new species. The new species is similar to congeners from Madagascar, but with larger differences from species that occur elsewhere.

The presence of Xylocopa valga is reported for the first time from the high altitudes of Union Territory of Ladakh (more than 3,000 m above sea level), India. Several bees were observed in the area from May 2019 to September 2020, where it is considered to be a pest because of its aptness for making nests in residential and commercial buildings. The species has likely expanded its geographical area due to environmental changes. It is important to disseminate knowledge among Ladakh people about this bee to ensure the preservation of its populations.

Abstract Raunolina Gnezdilov & Wilson, 2006 erected as a subgenus of Perissana Metcalf, 1952 is upgraded to generic level. Raunolina remanei sp. nov. is described from northeastern Sudan, which is the first record of the genus and the tribe Adenissini Dlabola, 1980 from tropical Africa, and R. jeddahica sp. nov. is described from western Saudi Arabia. Two new combinations are provided: Raunolina circularis (Linnavuori, 1952), comb. nov. and Raunolina arabica (Gnezdilov & Wilson, 2006), comb. nov.; R. arabica is recorded for the first time from Yemen. A key to separate the genera Perissana and Raunolina as well as a key to species of Raunolina are given. The global distribution of Adenissini is discussed.

Phytochemical analysis of the leaves of Garcinia rubro-echinata Kosterm., an endemic species to the Western Ghats, India yielded the triterpenoid friedelin (1), the flavonoids naringenin (2), apigenin (3) and (-)-epicatechin (7), the biflavonoids podocarpusflavone A (5) and amentoflavone (6), and the dihydrochalcone phloretin (4) and phloretin-4'-O-β-D-glycoside (8). The compounds 4 and 8 were isolated from the genus Garcinia for the first time. Validated HPTLC estimation showed 0.21% amentoflavone and 0.18% friedelin in the plant. Cytotoxicity of the leaf extract and the compounds 5 and 6 against human hepatocarcinoma (Hep G2) and rat cardiomyocyte (H9C2) cells, evaluated by MTT assay, showed potential cytotoxicity for compound 5. This is the first report of the phytochemical and bio-activity studies of G. rubro-echinata.

Nubensia nubens (Edwards 1929) is reported for the first time in Bulgaria from two lowland rivers, tributaries of the Danube (eastern Europe). Larvae of the species were found incidentally in samples collected for an ichthyological study, in the gut contents of Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas 1814) (Actinopterygii: Gobiidae), and in a benthic sample. The habitat conditions at the corresponding sites differed from those of previous records. Our finding underlines the potential of non-standard supporting methods, such as analyzing fish gut contents for discovering rare species that are hard to record by standard hydrobiological methods.
