The hydrobiid genus Islamia Radoman, 1973 (Gastropoda: Hydrobiidae) comprises 47 species known from the Mediterranean region of which most are distributed in the west and central part, whereas 11 species are known from the Balkans. In this article we described two new Islamia species from Greece. The type localities of four Islamia species hitherto known from Greece are presented on a map.

As If

AbstractTwo new species of Eurytoma Ill. are described, viz. E. oliphantis n.sp. from Sudan, Africa, reared from Eragrostis tremula and E. asphodeli n.sp. from the Mediterranean region, Ibiza, reared from the seed capsule of Asphodelus microcarpus. The latter species belongs to the robusta-group and some taxonomical notes including a key and figures on this group are presented. It seems as if both carnivorous and herbivorous species occur in the robusta-group.

Two New Species

Two new species of the genus Knipowitschia, Knipowitschia byblisia sp. nov. and Knipowitschia caunosi sp. nov., are described from the coastal Lake Köycegiz, southwest Turkey. Knipowitschia byblisia sp.nov. is placed in a group of species with reduced cephalic lateral-line canals and reduced squamation. This species is characterized by the presence of axillary and caudal peduncular patches of scales, by a distinct reduced head canal system with only the postorbital section of the supraorbital canal developed and with longitudinal and transversal rows of free neuromasts in the interorbit. Knipowitschia caunosi sp. nov. is placed in a group of species with a fairly complete head canal system and with scales continuously extending along lateral midline from the axilla to the caudal peduncle. This species is characterized by long transverse rows of free neuromasts on the nape and on the cheek, by a characteristic pattern of the preorbital series of free neuromasts with the anteriormost row lacking and with a reduced number of transverse suborbital rows. Both species are isolated and their distributions restricted to a small brackish lake in the west of the Anatolian south coast. This record represents the southern and easternmost of the genus Knipowitschia in the Mediterranean region. The origin of these two species is discussed.

Close Relatives

The Elachista cingillella complex is defined and diagnosed. The identity of E. cingillella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855) is clarified, and E. densicornella Hodgkinson, 1879 is confirmed to be a junior synonym of it. Redescriptions are given for the closely related, little known or misunderstood species E. fasciola Parenti, 1983 and E. nedaella Traugott-Olsen, 1985. Elachista metella Kaila sp. n. is described from Croatia and E. sutteri Kaila sp. n. from Samos, Greece. E. cingillella is a rarely found species distributed in central and northern Europe. All checked records of it from the Mediterranean region are based on misidentified specimens of E. metella sp. n., which is widely distributed in southern Europe and southern parts of central Europe. E. fasciola Parenti is distributed from Eastern Europe to Japan. E. nedaella Traugott-Olsen is only known from Crete, E. sutteri sp. n. from eastern Greece.

A New Species

The Chorthippus biguttulus group distributed in the west Palaearctic, while intensively examined in Europe, is poorly known in the glacial refugia such as Anatolia. This produces constraints in making accurate statements about evolution and the biogeography of the group. The C. brunneus subgroup of this lineage is examined using large amounts of morphological and song data from Anatolia (Asian Turkey) and representatives from Europe. Song and morphology in combination suggested three species to be found in Anatolia. The first is C. bornhalmi Harz which is also known from south-east Europe. The other two are new species: Chorthippus antecessor sp. n. and Chorthippus relicticus sp. n.. Morphologically, C. antecessor sp. n. is the most aberrant species of the C. brunneus subgroup, but is similar to C. bornhalmi in song. The specific song and morphology (the aberrant number of stridulatory pegs) define C. relicticus as a new species and both also indicate that it is closely related to C. brunneus and C. jacobsi. A song and morphology based phyloylogenetic assumption for C. brunneus subgroup suggests C. antecessor, C. bornhalmi and C. miramae to constitute one clade and C. brunneus, C. jacobsi and C. relicticus another. The scenario suggested for their evolution assume the following steps: (i) divergence of C. bornhalmi from a C. antecessor like ancestor, (ii) derivation of an ancestral population (which later give rise to C. brunneus + C. jacobsi + C. relicticus) from a C. bornhalmi like ancestor, and (iii) later fragmentation of this ancestral population to result in the present three species (C. brunneus + C. jacobsi + C. relicticus). All of these events seem to be correlated with the climatic cycles during Pleistocene. The conclusion is that the two new species are range-restricted, vulnerable species as is the case for many other taxa present in the Mediterranean Taurus biodiversity hotspot.
