Until recently, Apomyelois cognata (Staudinger, 1871) was known only from the type series collected 150 years ago in the Lower Volga region, as well as old records from Iran and Cyprus (the latter unconfirmed). In 2011 and 2020, more specimens of this little-known species were collected in the South Urals (Russia), presenting a new record for the area. The species identity was confirmed via examination of syntypes preserved in the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin. A lectotype designation for the species is made and a detailed redescription with illustrations of male and female genitalia is given.

The stenopodidean shrimp Odontozona spongicola (Alcock & Anderson, 1899) collected by the South Java Deep-Sea Biodiversity Expedition 2018 (SJADES 2018) is a new record from Indonesia. The specimen of O. spongicola recently listed from the South China Sea is also formally reported here in. The characteristcs and coloration of this rare species are described and illustrated.

Chirnyssoides parasitizes the anterior and posterior edges of bat wing membranes. Possibly due to a lack of studies, its distribution is believed to be restricted to a few countries of Central and South America, but its actual range is probably wider. The purpose of this paper is to report the presence of Chirnyssoides amazonae on the bat Carollia perspicillata in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and to present a checklist of hosts and localities for Chirnyssoides. Eleven females and 22 egg clusters of C. amazonae were collected from 11 individuals of C. perspicillata captured in Tinguá Biological Reserve using mist nets. Our search of the literature came up with 69 records of Chirnyssoides. There are reports ofChirnyssoides caparti, Chirnyssoides amazonae, Chirnyssoides brasiliensis andChirnyssoides phyllostomus in Brazil. This paper reports the first record of Chirnyssoides amazonae in the state of Rio de Janeiro and the second in Brazil, indicating that their known distribution extends to the south. There are records of C. amazonae andC. surinamensis parasitizing C. perspicillata, but this is the first record of C. amazonae on C. perspicillata in Brazil.

It is adding a new record of marsupial to Honduras, Metachirus nudicaudatus, and the second record to Nuclear Central America, based in two specimens, male and female. These increments to nine species and six the generas of didelphids for the country. The female without a pouch that it is present in other Honduras didelphids, execpt in marmosa. Specimens come from the community of Baltiltuk, Platano River Biosphera Reserve (RBRP), Gracias a Dios Department. There are discrepancies in the litterature about its distribution in México and Central America, some authors mention its from Honduras, but without catalogue record, hightligthin the importance of the record of the specie.

We report a new record for the South American coati, Nasua nasua (Linnaeus, 1766), based on a specimen from Sierra de Perijá, Zulia state, western Venezuela. This specimen represents the first record of the species for the state, increasing to 192 the number of mammals reported for Zulia. It also extends the species distribution in about 245 km northwest from the nearest known locality in Venezuela, and about 80 km from the nearest locality in Colombia.

First record of the nemoral Eastern Palaearctic species Catocala helena Eversmann, 1856 is reported from Samara Region as new to Europe. New localities in the South Urals and West Siberia are reported for the first time. The present records expand the species distribution for more than 2500 km to the west. The general species’ distribution and bionomics is provided. Species’ habitats in the South Urals are illustrated.

The article provides information on the biology of Acroptilon repens (L.) DC. This species is a perennial root weed from the Asteraceae family. It is included in the list of quarantine plants of the Russian Federation. In the South Urals the species appeared not long ago and is classified as potentially invasive. In the Republic of Bashkortostan the first record of the species dates back to 2013. The aim of the research was to study the biological characteristics and parameters of coenopopulations (CP) of a dangerous quarantine plant under new living conditions in the Republic of Bashkortostan in comparison with the previously formed invasive coenopopulations of the Orenburg region. Three localities of invasion of A. repens were examined (1 in the Republic of Bashkortostan and 2 in the Orenburg region) during the expedition trips in 2018. The research specifies that the maximum height of plants (47.9 cm) and most other morphometric parameters are registered in the Shkunovka CP. The highest percentage of the species participation in the community is also observed there (82.9 %). The largest number of shoots per 1 m2 (31.3) was found in the Kumertau CP. The Divnopolye CP and Shkunovka CP have similar indexes of morphometric parameters. The Kumertau CP is different from the CPs of Orenburg region in most parameters. Predominance of individuals of the highest class is noted in two coenopopulations of Orenburg region. They are classified as prosperous coenopopulations and Kumertau CP as a depressive one. The discriminant analysis proves that in all coenopopulations of A. repens, individuals are morphostructurally different, with no overlap between them. The Kumertau CP is phenotypically the most distant from the Divnopolye CP and Shkunovka CP.

We present the first record of Promops centralis Thomas, 1915 for Santa Fe province, Argentina. This species was previously known in Argentina only from Formosa province. This new record adds a second province to the distribution of this species in Argentina and a new ecoregion, the Espinal. Furthermore, this record extends the distribution area of P. centralis by almost 610 km to the south and increase to 24 the number of bats species in Santa Fe province.

This paper presents the first record of the Lessepsian migrant fish Lagocephalus sceleratus (silver-cheeked toadfish) on the Italian side of the south Adriatic Sea. In addition, four specimens of Sphoeroides pachygaster (blunthead puffer) were analysed. Meristic and morphometric data of the silver-cheeked toadfish and blunthead puffer are in accordance with data from the Mediterranean. The specimen of silver-cheeked toadfish was a female with gonad in resting stage and the specimens of blunthead puffer were adults (male and female) with gonads in maturing, mature/spawner and post-spawning stage. The stomach contents of the specimen of silver-cheeked toadfish were composed by Mollusca Opistobranchia and Crustacea Brachyura. Stomach contents analysis of S. pachygaster confirmed that Mollusca are the preferred prey for this species. However, the presence of Crustacea (shrimps, crabs) and fish in the stomachs indicates that the blunthead puffer has a broad and variable diet in the south Adriatic Sea. The present study suggests the presence of an established population of blunthead puffer on the continental shelf of the southeast Adriatic Sea.
