The distribution of the three Italian species of Rhysodidae was reviewed by re-examining published data, museum conserved and newly collected specimens. Rhysodes sulcatus chronogeonemy encloses a large majority of old findings and only two recently confirmed active populations are recorded after the year 2000. Omoglymmius germari shows a similar picture, with only one recent record (2018) in the Pollino National Park (Basilicata) but a small number of active populations after 2000. Clinidium canaliculatum populations are in a much better conservation status, with about 50 new sites detected after 2000 in the Sila National Park. Threats and research/monitoring needs have been discussed for each species and new IUCN status proposed for Italian populations: Critically Endangered (CR) for Rhysodes and Omoglymmius, Near Threatened (NT) for Clinidium.

All available data and most of materials on Acicula parcelineata from Ukraine are reviewed. Thirteen areas inhabited by the species are reported for Ukraine, some of which include several known sites. Five of these areas were not reported before. Map of general distribution of A. parcelineata is provided (outside Ukraine based on published data). Habitat preferences of this species are reviewed, it occurs in Ukraine almost exclusively in forests with presence of beech, on altitude 300-1100 m. Conservation status of A. parcelineata in Ukraine is shown to be “Near Threatened” according to IUCN criterions, it is recommended to be included into the next edition of Red Book of Ukraine. Shells’ measurements of A. parcelineata are provided and compared with related Platyla jankowskiana. The later species is discussed; it seems to be possible that it represents large abnormal specimens of A. parcelineata.

The paper presents information about the discovery of a new species of diprionid sawfly for the Polish forests. This is Finnish conifer sawfly Gilpinia fennica (Forsius). One female of the species was caught in a screen trap while trapping of saproxylic beetles in Kampinoski National Park. The Finnish conifer sawfly is the fifth species living on spruces in Poland. It is also one of the least observed European diprionid. Poland, after Finland, Russia, China and Sweden, is the 5th country where this species has been discovered. In addition, the paper presents information on the geographical distribution and biology of the species.

Abstract We present the floristic treatment of the Terminalia species occurring in the state of Maranhão. This study was based on the analysis of national and international herbaria. Six species were recorded from the state: Terminalia actinophylla, T. amazonia, T. dichotoma, T. fagifolia, T. glabrescens, and T. lucida, with one endemic (T. actinophylla) to Brazil. Taxa were commonly recorded in dry Savanna environments (cerrado). Only the species Terminalia fagifolia and T. lucida occur in conservation units in Maranhão, specifically in Mirador State Park, Chapada das Mesas National Park and Ecological Sanctuary of Pedra Caída. In addition to morphological descriptions, this study includes an identification key, illustrations, and comments about taxonomic affinities, geographical distribution, ecology, conservation status, and phenology of the species.

The native species of amphibians and reptiles of Uruguay were categorized according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Out of 47 amphibian species, seven are listed as Critically Endangered (CR), five as Endangered (EN), one as Vulnerable (VU), three as Near Threatened (NT), and two as Data Deficient (DD); the remaining species are considered to be Least Concern (LC). Among the 64 species of reptiles evaluated, one is listed as Critically Endangered (CR), seven as Endangered (EN), two as Vulnerable (VU), one as Near Threatened (NT) and seven as Data Deficient (DD); the rest are considered to be Least Concern (LC). The use of these results as an additional criterion in the definition of protected areas in Uruguay will contribute towards the conservation of the aforementioned threatened species and their associated ecosystems.

Based on the data in the database of the National Freshwater Snail Collection (NFSC), the distribution and habitat of Chambardia wahlbergi and Chambardia petersi, are presented and discussed. Although the distribution of these two species overlaps extensively in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces, contrary to reports in literature, specimens of C. wahlbergi were also collected in the North West Province and the Free State Province in the west-flowing Vaal River, as well as in Gauteng. The majority of samples of both species were collected in rivers and dams, in water conditions described as perennial, standing, clear and fresh. Multivariate analyses indicated that temperature, altitude and waterbodies played a significant role in the geographical distribution of both species. Although little is known of the conservation status of these species, it is categorised as of least concern in the revised edition of the UCN Red Data List (Seddon et al. 2011). The majority of records of both species in the database of the NFSC date from work done during the previous century in the Kruger National Park (KNP). More recent surveys by the authors in the KNP revealed a decline in the number of positive sites, as well as the number of specimens per site. This data suggest that there might be reason for concern regarding their conservation status. The fact that exceptionally large specimens of C. wahlbergi were collected, mostly by chance, on several occasions in the west-flowing Vaal River as recently as 2007 emphasises the need to conduct extensive mollusc surveys, as during the previous century, to update the documented geographical distribution and to monitor the progress of exotic invader species.

AbstractThe Mediterranean islands support a rich diversity of flora, with a high percentage of endemic species. We used the IUCN categories and criteria to assess the conservation status of 16 endemic plant taxa (species and subspecies) of the Tuscan Archipelago, based on data collected during field surveys over 4 years. Our data were sufficient to use criteria B, C and D in our assessment. We used criterion B in the assessment of all 16 taxa, criterion C for four taxa, criterion D for 11 taxa and criteria B, C and D for three taxa, Centaurea gymnocarpa, Limonium doriae and Silene capraria. According to our results L. doriae, Romulea insularis and S. capraria are categorized as Critically Endangered and therefore require immediate conservation measures; eight taxa are categorized as Endangered, two as Vulnerable and three as Near Threatened. Compared to earlier assessments, eight species are recategorized with a higher degree of threat, two species are recategorized with a lower degree of threat, five are unchanged, and one species is assessed for the first time. Based on the IUCN categorization our results show that all the endemic species of the Tuscan Archipelago are directly and/or indirectly threatened by human activities, such as tourism and agriculture, and invasive species of plants and animals. The Tuscan Archipelago National Park is responsible for the conservation of all endemic species in the area.
