The exotic sap beetle Phenolia (Lasiodites) picta (Macleay, 1825) is recorded for the first time in Greece. In August 2018, a nitidulid beetle was found near Mt. Pelion of Central Greece. It was later identified as P. picta, a recent alien species in Europe, previously recorded from Spain, France, and Turkey. Photographic material and information on the species’ distribution, biology, and potential economic and ecological implications are presented and discussed.

The Indo-Pacific portunid, Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867), is a crab species native to the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans and has previously colonized the Eastern Mediterranean and the Western Atlantic. It is now recorded in the Eastern Atlantic, on the coast of Benin, where a thriving population has established. This invasive and widely distributed species exhibits morphological variations within and between populations, which are discussed in detail. Its current distribution is presented, and its future expansion along the West African coast and future impact on coastal ecosystems and local fisheries are the object of tentative forecasts. Illustrations of sexually mature specimens from different sizes and regions are presented, and their allometric, individual and geographical variations are discussed. A new synonymy and a new account on the taxonomy and the biology of the species are presented. Illustrations of the lectotype and the paralectotype of C. hellerii are also provided for the first time. Charybdis spinifera (Miers, 1884), C. merguiensis (De Man, 1887) and C. vannamei Ward, 1941 are here treated as subjective junior synonyms of C. hellerii. The holotype of C. spinifera and two syntypes of C. merguiensis are illustrated.

The Granulate Ambrosia Beetle Xylosandrus crassiusculus, an alien species of Asian origin, was recorded for first time in the Iberian Peninsula. Many specimens were collected in October 2016 in the Valencia region (Spain) from infested carob trees. The species is included in the EPPO Alert List as causing serious damage in many Mediterranean regions. A key for the morphological identification of the Xylosandrus species occurring in Europe is also reported.

Plants of the genus Cornus are valued for their ornamental qualities, are often grown in gardens, parks, or other public plantings, and form various shelterbelts. This increases the likelihood that these bird-dispersed plants will escape from their sites. This paper provides information on the first record of C. mas in Lithuania in 2021 at two sites. This species is currently considered a casual alien species, but may become locally naturalised in the future. This study confirmed that C. sericea is widespread in Lithuania, and the oldest herbarium specimen of the species was collected in 1997. Cornus sericea, like C. alba, is naturalised and potentially invasive in Lithuania. The alien subspecies of C. sanguinea (C. sanguinea subsp. australis) was found for the first time in Lithuania and Latvia in 2018. Available data show that this subspecies is naturalised in both countries, and its abundance in some areas in Lithuania indicates that it may become an invasive plant. The paper discusses dispersal vectors, occupied habitats, and the potential for spreading three alien Cornus taxa.

The non-native polychaete worm Marenzelleria viridis (Verrill, 1873) was found for the first time in the upper Clyde Estuary in 2016. This represents the first occurrence of this alien species on the west coast of Scotland. It appearsto be well established in low salinity waters at Govan Wharf where it dominated the biomass of riverbed infaunal invertebrates with densities of around 1,300 worms m-2.

Изложены основные результаты многолетнего изучения видового состава ксилотрофных базидиомицетов насаждений Донецкого ботанического сада (г. Донецк, Украина). Всего по итогам исследований 2014 2018 гг. обнаружено 84 вида ксилотрофных базидиомицетов, из которых 30 видов отмечены впервые (по сравнению с исследованиями 1970х гг.), а повторными находками подтверждено присутствие 47 из 54 указываемых ранее видов. Все выявленные виды распределяются по 59 родам, 29 семействам и 8 порядкам двух классов отдела Basidiomycota (преимущественно к классу Agaricomycetes 83 вида, 98,8) и могут быть отнесены к четырем морфологическим группам грибов: афиллофороидным 54 вида, агарикоидным 26, тремеллоидным 3 и гастероидным 1. Наиболее многочисленными по числу семейств, родов и видов являются порядки Agaricales (15 семейств, 21 род, 30 видов), Polyporales (5 семейств, 19 родов, 26 видов) и Hymenochaetales (3 семейства, 10 родов и 14 видов), на которые в сумме приходится большая часть (83,3) всех выявленных видов. Отмечено преобладание: 1) видов, развивающихся на неразрушенной и слаборазрушенной древесине (81), над видами, развивающимися на сильно разрушенной древесине (19) 2) эвритрофных видов (70,2) над стенотрофными (29,8) 3) фитопатогенных видов (60,7) факультативных сапротрофов и факультативных паразитов над облигатными сапротрофами (39,3) 4) видов с однолетними базидиомами (81) над видами с многолетними базидиомами (19) 5) аборигенных видов (92,9) над чужеродными видами (7,1), облигатно ассоциированными с древесными интродуцентами из других регионов. The article presents the main results of a longterm study of xylotrophic macromycete species composition in the Donetsk Botanical Garden (Donetsk city, Ukraine). In total, 84 species of xylotrophic macromycetes were found during 2014 2018, among which 30 species were recorded here for the first time (comparing to the studies of 1970s), and repeated findings confirmed the presence of 47 of 54 earlier recorded species. All found xylotrophic macromycetes belong to 59 genera, 29 families and 8 orders of 2 classes of the division Basidiomycota (mainly to the class Agaricomycetes 83 species, 98.8), and could be attributed to the 4 traditional artificial groups of fungi: aphyllophoroid 54 species, agaricoid 26 species, tremelloid ( gelly fungi ) 3 species, and gasteroid fungi 1 species. The most numerous orders (by the number of families, genera and species) are Agaricales (15 families, 21 genus, 30 species), Polyporales (5 families, 19 genera, 26 species), and Hymenochaetales (3 families, 10 genera, 14 species) that account for the majority (83.3) of all identified species. The quantitative prevalence of the following groups were observed: 1) species developing on undestroyed and poorly destroyed wood (81) over the species developing on heavily destroyed wood (19) 2) eurytrophic species (70.2) over stenotrophic ones (29.8) 3) phytopathogenic species (60.7),namely facultative saprotrophs and facultative parasites, over obligate saprotrophs (39.3) 4) species that have annual basidiomes (81) over species that have perennial basidiomes (19) 5) native species (92.9) over alien species (7.1), obligately related to alien woody plants introduced from other regions.

A necropsy of lungs from mouflons, chamois, red deerand fallow deer from Bulgariawas performed aiming at determining the species composition of protostrongylids. For the first time in the country Muellerius capillaris, Cystocaulus ocreatus, Neostrongylus linearis, Protostrongylus rufescens, P. hobmaieri are reported as part of the helminth fauna in the mouflon, M. capillaris, N. linearis and P. rupicaprae are reported from the chamois, and Varestrongylus sagittatus is reported from the red deer. This is the first record of P. hobmaieri, P. rupicaprae and V. sagittatus for the fauna of Bulgaria. Some morphological data of males and first stage larvae of P. hobmaieri on materials from the present study are presented

ABSTRACT Nassarius Duméril, 1805 is the most diverse genus within the nassariid subfamily Nassariinae. Nonetheless, information on members of this genus from the Indian subcontinent, a major ecoregion of the western Indo-Pacific, is scarce. Here, we report Nassarius fuscus (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1848) for the first time from India and provide information on its morphology and ecology. This species has previously been recorded only from the central Indo-Pacific. We also describe a new species of Nassarius, N. arewarensis n. sp., which on the basis of our data is sister to N. fuscus. Both species were found within heterogeneous strands of mangroves in the shallow intertidal area of the Aare-Ware Creek, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India. Morphological comparisons as well as species delimitation analyses using the universal cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcode indicated that these species are distinct. The present study enhances our understanding of the species composition and the diversity of Nassarius in India.
