A New Species

AbstractCopris incertus Say, 1835 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Coprini) has been described as a New World coprophagous scarab distributed from Mexico to Ecuador with large discontinuities in its range between the Yucatán province and Costa Rica. The C. incertus species complex of the Copris minutus (Drury, 1773) species group consists of C. incertus, Copris laeviceps Harold, 1869, and Copris lugubris Boheman, 1858. Based on external morphology and male genitalia, we discovered that multiple species have been classified as C. incertus. Of these species, five are new: Copris amazonicusnew species, Copris brevicornisnew species, Copris davidinew species, Copris moroninew species, and Copris susanaenew species. Herein, we revise the organisation of the C. incertus species complex and propose a new species complex, the C. laeviceps species complex, which includes: C. davidi, Copris igualensis Warner, 1990, and C. laeviceps, formerly included in the C. incertus species complex. We provide an identification key along with species distribution maps, images of habitus, and diagnostic characters.

The fauna of hoverflies of a variety of habitats from Iran was studied with different collecting methods including Malaise traps, from 2005-2015. Two new species, Pocota hyrcanica Gilasian & Hauser sp. nov. and Sphiximorpha ziegleri Gilasian & Vujić sp. nov., are described from Iran. Illustrations of the male genitalia and photographs of the new species are provided. Their morphological differences with similar species are stated. In addition, data on 14 hoverfly species new to Iran are provided, including the first records of five genera, Brachypalpus Macquart, Palumbia Rondani, Pocota Le Peletier & Serville, Pseudodoros Becker and Sphiximorpha Rondani. As a result of our study, the number of hoverfly species recorded from Iran rises to 222.

Two new species of Heleomyzidae are described. Heleomyza kovali sp. nov. is described based on material from the Czech Republic and Crimea and differs from other European Heleomyza species by the structure of male genitalia. Eccoptomera nevrlyi sp. nov. is described based on two males from Jeseníky Mts. and Šumava Mts. (Czech Republic) and differs from the most similar species, E. ornata Loew, 1862, by the hind femur having a distinct subbasal protuberance with a tuft of short setae and by the structure of male genitalia. The extreme rarity of both species is discussed.

Two new species of Dipterocarpaceae, Vatica mizaniana and V. abdulrahmaniana are described from Peninsular Malaysia. Vatica mizaniana differs markedly from V. pedicellata, a Bornean endemic, in characters of the leaf and nut. Vatica abdulrahmaniana is differentiated from similar species V. nitens, by its pubescent stellate hairs on young and flowering twigs and semi-persistent floral bracts. The species description is accompanied with illustrations, distribution maps and ecological notes.
