Abstract:

The Holarctic genus Lathrobium Gravenhorst, 1802 is represented in the Palaearctic region sensu Löbl & Smetana (2004) by five subgenera. According to the Palaearctic catalogue (Smetana 2004) and an updated version by Schülke (unpubl.), the highly diverse nominal subgenus currently includes 248 valid species and subspecies in the Palaearctic region (6 nomina dubia not included), with 73 (sub-)species confined to the Western Palaearctic (one of these species present also in the western parts of the Eastern Palaearctic), 167 (sub-)species to the Eastern Palaearctic including Middle Asia (two of them present also in the eastern parts of the Western Palaearctic), and with 8 species having a trans-Palaearctic distribution. Several species have become known from Middle Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan), but up to today no representative of the genus has been reported from Kyrgyzstan (Smetana 2004).

Abstract:

Abstract The ptyctimous mite fauna of each zoogeographical region of the world is highly specific and includes many endemic or native species. In Palaearctic Region it comprises 295 known species. The number of widespread species is very low: 14 semicosmopolitan, 16 Holarctic, and 15 pan-Palaearctic. Out of the relatively narrowly distributed species, over half (114) have also been noted as endemic to the Palaearctic Region. Twenty-seven species are known to originate from other zoogeographical regions and have been introduced to the Palaearctic in prooriental and East-Asiatic parts. The fauna of North Africa has a much lower number of endemic species than the neighbouring subregions, but a high number of Palaearctic species and a relatively high number of widespread species. This fauna is completely different from the Afrotropical fauna on the same continent. The majority of common species are West Palaearctic. The fauna of North Africa is much poorer in species than that of North Mediterranean subregion, but both these faunas share a lot of common species, especially many of West Palaearctic origin. Moreover, in North Africa the regional faunas show poor similarity, e.g. the fauna of the western islands (Canary Island and Madeira) is very different from that of Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia).

Full text

Abstract:

The taxonomy of the ponerine ants of the genus Hypoponera is revised for the Afrotropical and West Palaearctic regions. A combined key to both faunae is presented, and the West Palaearctic species are also keyed separately. Fifty-six species are recognised in total, of which 51 are Afrotropical endemics and two are restricted to the West Palaearctic; three tramp species occur in both regions. Thirty-four Afrotropical species are described as new while 33 names, including a number of infraspecific taxa and extralimital forms, are relegated to synonymy. Two previously described Afrotropical Hypoponera names are regarded as species inquirendae (lea, petiolata). Two extralimital species are mentioned with respect to the studied fauna: gibbinota, described from a casual introduction in a Palaearctic hothouse, and the Oriental assmuthi, which is provisionally raised to species to dissociate it from the Palaearctic abeillei, to which it was previously linked as an infraspecific taxon.

Full text

Abstract:

Phylogenetic analysis is provided for the first time for 12 species of Palaearctic elfin butterflies, members of the previously recognized genera Ahlbergia Bryk, 1947, Cissatsuma Johnson, 1992, and Novosatsuma Johnson, 1992, based on the barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene (COI). Comparison of the COI barcodes revealed very low levels of genetic divergence between the species of the Palaearctic elfin butterflies and Callophrys Billberg, 1820 sensu stricto. COI-based phylogeny revealed that Palaearctic Callophrys and the Palaearctic elfin butterflies, except Cissatsuma, are polyphyletic. Four new sympatric species, namely, Callophrys (Ahlbergia) hmong sp. n., C. (A.) tay sp. n., Callophrys (Cissatsuma) devyatkini sp. n. and C. (A.) dao sp. n. are described from Ha Giang Province, North Vietnam, based on wing colouration, the morphologies of the male and female genitalia, and differences in COI sequences. Discovery of the new species expands the distribution range of the group towards the southeast, beyond the Palaearctic region.

Abstract:

Maladera Mulsant & Rey, 1871 occurs in the Palaearctic, Oriental and Afrotropical regions and comprises already more than 300 species only in the Palaearctic alone (Ahrens & Bezděk 2016). In the past years the species of eastern West Palaearctic including Iran has been exhaustively explored and many new taxa were added (e.g. Ahrens 2000a,b, 2006; Ahrens et al. 2016; Fabrizi et al. 2018; Keith & Ahrens 2002; Keith 2005, 2010; Sabatinelli 1977; Sehnal 2008; Sehnal & Simandl 2008; Montreuil & Keith 2009; Montreuil 2016). While new collecting activities focused principally on the Iranian fauna (Nikodyìm & Král 1998; Keith & Ahrens 2002; Keith 2005, 2010; Montreuil & Keith 2009; Montreuil 2016), from where practically no records before the 1980s were available, no recent data were published on Maladera species of Europe and Minor Asia since the last taxonomic revision of the West Palaearctic species of the genus (Petrovitz 1969).

Abstract:

The rodents of Saudi Arabia consist of twenty species and twelve genera within four families (Gliridae, Dipodidae, Muridae, and Hystricidae). Details on the past and present distribution of the rodents were included, along with available data on their habitat preference and biology. The eastern central part of Saudi Arabia, covering the Tuwiq mountains plateau, including the vicinity of Riyadh, hosts the highest number of rodent species. An analysis of the rodent fauna of Saudi Arabia revealed that they have four major zoogeographical affinities: Palaearctic–Oriental (one species), Afrotropical–Palaearctic (six species), Palaearctic (four species), endemic to Saudi Arabia and Yemen (three species), Afrotropical–Palaearctic–Oriental (three species), and three cosmopolitan species. According to the National Red List, the Euphrates Jerboa, Scarturus euphraticus, is listed as endangered, the Indian Crested Porcupine, Hystrix indica, as near threatened, three further species as data-deficient, while the rest are considered least concern.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Holarctic genus Cetema Hendel is revised, with special reference to the Nearctic fauna. There are four Nearctic species: C. elongata Meigen; C. nigripalpis sp. n., C. procera Loew, and C. subvittata Loew. This is the first record of the Palaearctic species C. elongata in the Nearctic region. All Nearctic species are described and illustrated. The Palaearctic species C. paramyopina Collin is synonymized with C. neglecta Tonnoir and a key to all described species of Cetema is provided. A phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of the genus, as well as the monophyly of the subgenera Archecetema Nartshuk and Cetema. The Nearctic species do not form a monophyletic group. Zoogeographic analysis suggests that the genus originated in the eastern Palaearctic and subsequently colonized North America via a Beringian connection, probably in the early to mid-Tertiary. Following speciation in the eastern Nearctic, the more derived lineages of Cetema recolonized the western Palaearctic, probably via a North Atlantic land connection prior to the late Miocene.

Two holarctically distributed species groups of Sepedon, S. fuscipennis (5 spp.) and spinipes (2 spp.) are reviewed. The diagnostic characters of all species are compared and the distinguishing structures of the male terminalia are illustrated. The Palaearctic Sepedon hecate sp. nov. is described and compared with the Nearctic species of the S. fuscipennis group. The new species is distributed mainly in the East Palaearctic but apparently penetrates to Central Europe. A detailed study of the male terminalia of the Palaearctic S. spinipes spinipes (Scopoli, 1763) and the Nearctic S. spinipes americana Steyskal, 1951 shows that the Nearctic taxon actually represents a well distinguished species, S. americana Steyskal, 1951, stat. nov.

Abstract:

Abstract Palaearctic grasslands are diverse and dynamic ecosystems that are in the focus of ecology, conservation biology and agronomy. This special issue is dedicated to the biodiversity and conservation issues of Palaearctic grasslands and was initiated by the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group members attending the 14th Eurasian Dry Grassland Conference (EDGC) at Sulmona, Italy in 2018. The papers in this special issue cover a wide range of grassland ecosystems from mountain dry grasslands to lowland loess grasslands, feathergrass steppes and wet grasslands, and focus on the biodiversity values and conservation issues of Palaearctic grasslands. We believe that this compilation will contribute to a better understanding of the ecology of grasslands and support their more effective conservation.

Full text

Abstract:

Chelostomopsis represents a subgenus of the osmiine bee genus Protosmia (Megachilidae) containing three Palaearctic and one Nearctic species. Analysis of female pollen loads and literature data indicate that all Chelostomopsis species are broad pollen generalists exploiting the flowers of numerous plant families, such as Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Cistaceae and Brassicaceae. Preexisting linear cavities in dead wood or pine cones serve as nesting sites and pure resin is used to construct cell partitions and nest plug. The taxonomic revision of the Palaearctic P. (Chelostomopsis) species revealed the existence of a still undescribed species from the Levant, Protosmia (Chelostomopsis) angustimandibulae spec. nov. Keys for the identification of the three Palaearctic P. (Chelostomopsis) species are given.

Abstract:

Distribution patterns and literature details of 263 Lebiinae species reported from India are provided. List includes 14 species missed out by Andrewes (1930a) and the 98 species described thereafter. Distribution patterns revealed among the 263 species, 104 species are exclusively Oriental species and 35 species are exclusively Palaearctic species. Among the 263 Indian speceis, 130 species are exclusively Indian species with reports only from the Indian subcontinent and one species with report only from Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Of the 130 Indian species, 89 species are recorded from the Oriental, 27 species from the Palaearctic and 14 species recorded from both Oriental and Palaearctic regions in India. Among the 129 Indian subcontinent species, 45 species are endemics to the three global hotspots of the biodiversity in India with 31 species endemic to the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka hotspot of biodiversity; six species endemic to the Eastern Himalayas hotspot of biodiversity; eight species endemic to the Indo-Burma hotspot of biodiversity; four species recorded only from Chota Nagpur plateu and 27 species recorded only from Indian Himalayas. Four species (Microlestes parvati, Singilis indicus, S. squalidus and Lebia cardoni) recorded only from Chota Nagpur plateu and the 31 endemic species from the Western Gahts and Sri Lanka are of special interest for their Gondwana relationships. 133 species have wider geographic distribution pattern with 15 species having distribution in Oriental and Indian regions; 8 species having distribution in Palaeractic and Indian regions; 10 species having distribution in Oriental and Indo-Australian regions; 48 species with distribution in Oriental and Palaearctic regions; 29 species with distribution in Oriental, Indo-Australian and Palaearctic regions; 2 species with distribution in Oriental, Australian and Palaearctic regions; 6 species with distribution in Oriental, Palaearctic and Afrotropical regions; 9 species with distribution in Oriental, Indo-Australian, Australian and Palaearctic regions; and 6 species with random distributions in different regions. Distribution records indicate that the arrival/origin of 228 species- 137 species with wider geographic distribution outside India and the 91 species with Indian distribution and not endemics to the Western Ghats and the Chotanagpur Plateau- is likely to have occurred after the joining of Indian subcontinent with Asian continent and during the subsequent faunal exchange between the newly formed Indian subcontinent and the surrounding regions (Indo-Burma and Indo-China on the north east front; Mediterranean and Ethiopian regions on the north-western front; Central Asian elements on the northern front). These 228 species represent the younger Indian Lebiinae species compared to the 35 species representing the older/ancient species with Gondwana land origin. Key words: Carabidae, Lebiinae, Perigonini, Pentagonicini, Odacanthini, Cyclosomini, Lebiini, India

Abstract:

Each evolutionary-independent province has its own mainland species area relationship (SPAR). When using the power law SPAR (S = cAz), separate mainland SPARs are parallel in a log-log space (similar z value), yet they differ in species density per unit area (c value). This implies that there are two main SPAR-based strategies to identify biodiversity hotspots. The first treats all mainland SPARs of all provinces as if they form one global SPAR. This is the strategy employed by Roll et al. (2009) when questioning Israel's high biodiversity. They concluded that Israel is not a global biodiversity hotspot. Their results may arise from the fact that Israel's province, the Palaearctic, is relatively poor. Therefore, countries from richer provinces, whose mainland SPAR lies above the Palaearctic SPAR, are identified as global hotspots. The second strategy is to construct different mainland SPARs for each province and identify the provincial hotspots. In this manuscript I ask whether Israel's biodiversity is high relative to other countries within its province. For six different taxa, I analyzed data for Palaearctic countries. For each taxon, I conducted a linear regression of species richness against the country's area, both log transformed. The studentized residuals were used to explore Israel's rank relative to all other Palaearctic countries. I found that Israel lies above the 95th percentile for reptiles and mammals and above the 90th percentile for birds. Therefore, within the Palaearctic province, Israel is indeed a biodiversity hotspot.

Abstract:

AbstractArtificial neural networks (ANN) methodology, molecular analyses and comparative morphology of the male postabdomen were used successfully in parallel for species identification and resolution of some taxonomic problems concerning West Palaearctic species of the genusTachinaMeigen, 1803. Supervised feed-forward ANN with back-propagation of errors was applied on morphometric and qualitative characters to solve known taxonomic discrepancies. Background molecular analyses based on mitochondrial markers CO I, Cyt b, 12S and 16S rDNA and study of male postabdominal structures were published separately. All three approaches resolved taxonomic doubts with identical results in the following five cases: case 1, the four presently recognized subgenera of the genusTachinawere confirmed and the description of a new subgenus was recommended; case 2, the validity of a new boreo-alpine species (sp.n.) was confirmed; case 3, the previously supposed presence ofT. casta(Rondani, 1859) in central Europe was not supported; case 4, West PalaearcticT. nupta(Rondani, 1859) was contrasted with East Palaearctic specimens from Japan, which seem to represent a valid species not conspecific with central European specimens;T. nuptaneeds detailed further study; case 5,T. nigrohirta(Stein, 1924) resurrected recently from synonymy withT. ursinaMeigen, 1824 was confirmed as a valid species. This parallel application of three alternative methods has enabled the principle of ‘polyphasic taxonomy’ to be tested and verified using these separate results. For the first time, the value of using the ANN approach in taxonomy was justified by two non-mathematical methods (molecular and morphological).

Abstract:

We studied species of the moesta group of Tipula (Yamatotipula) found in Finland. The three species are redescribed and illustrated, and their morphology, distribution and ecology are discussed. Tipula moesta Riedel, 1919, is an arctic species found in northernmost Finland. Tipula chonsaniana Alexander, 1945, stat. rev., is here considered distinct from T. moesta and is reported for the first time from Finland and West Palaearctic region. It has a disjunct distribution: mountainous areas in the East Palaearctic and in the boreal coniferous zone in Finland. Tipula freyana Lackschewitz, 1936, is a widely distributed species in the Palaearctic region, which occurs in the northern boreal Finland in the coniferous zone. Female cerci and vaginal apodemes of T. moesta and of T. chonsaniana are illustrated for the first time.
