A New Species

Newtoniellinae is a worldwide marine group of cold-water, deep-sea species, comprising the genera Cerithiella, Paramendax and Trituba. Prior to this study, the subfamily was represented in Brazil by four species of Cerithiella. The present contribution adds new Brazilian records of two of these species, Cerithiella amblytera and Cerithiella enode, in addition to new records of two species previously known only from Cuba and the south-eastern USA, respectively: Cerithiella sigsbeana comb. nov. and Cerithiella producta. Two new species of Cerithiella from Brazil are described: Cerithiella atali sp. nov. has a pointed protoconch identical to the species described in the previously synonymized genus Stilus; Cerithiella candela sp. nov. has the teleoconch very similar to Cerithiella pernambucoensis, but is differentiated by the protoconch morphology. Also, a new species of Trituba is described, Trituba anubis sp. nov., which is the second species of this genus recorded for the western Atlantic. Eumetula axicostulata comb. nov. and Eumetula vitrea comb. nov., both from the western Atlantic but not recorded from Brazil, are transferred from the genus Cerithiella. This study increases from four to nine the number of known species of Newtoniellinae from Brazil.

Twenty-five species of Vaucheria have been found in south-eastern Australia, from both freshwater and saline habitats. As many collections were sterile, the study of plants in culture was necessary for identification as well as for the evaluation of taxonomic characters. A reassessment of the sectional classification has led to the raising of the subsections Racemosae (Walz) Heering and Sessiles (Walz) Heering to sectional level. Of the nine sections of the genus recognised, six are represented in south-eastern Australia. A key has been provided to all sections and species found during the study. Twentyone species are new records for the continent, including the newly described V. bicornigera [section Tubuligerae (Walz) Heering sens, nov.], V. gyrogyna [section Racemosae (Walz) sect, nov.] and V. nanandra [section Corniculatae (Walz) Heering sens. nov.]. Two other species, V. gardneri Collins and V. subarechavaletae Borge, were previously only known from the U.S.A. and Argentina respectively. The salient morphological features of all species have been illustrated with light micrographs or with scanning electron micrographs.

AbstractThe distribution and variability of the subspecies of Panorpa germanica in south-eastern Europe are shown. The type-specimens of P. gibberosa MeLachlan, 1869 and P. titschacki Esben-Petersen, 1934, which must be regarded as subspecies of germanica, were re-examined and are described. P. germanica titschacki is distributed in southern Yugoslavia and central northern Greece. P. germanica graeca Lauterbach is not as widespread as Lauterbach (1972) suggested as some of his types belong to titschacki. P. germanica is still unknown from the Peloponnesus, ♀♀ mentioned from there by Willmann (1974) are P. lacedaemonia. Contradicting Bartos (1965) P. cognata is not known from Albania since the specimens determined by him as cognata belong to germanica. The relationships between several subspecies of P. germanica are discussed. New records of the allied P. lacedaemonia are added and used to indicate the distribution area of this species.

Predator Behaviour

Anti-predator mechanisms are essential for species survival and the description of defensive behaviour may improve our understanding about the ecology, biology and evolution of species. Herein, we describe new anti-predator behaviour for the False Coral Snake Oxyrhopus rhombifer in south-eastern Brazil, through direct observation of a juvenile specimen under laboratory settings. We recorded 10 types of defensive behaviour, seven of which are new records for this species and one of them (body vibration) is the first report for Brazilian snakes. Such behaviour may be explained by ontogeny or physical constraints. We highlight that O. rhombifer may be capable of recognising different threat levels imposed by predators and, accordingly, adjusting its defensive behaviour.

Abstract This study is a synthesis of the current knowledge regarding the Macrolepidoptera fauna from Central Dobrogea (south-eastern Romania) and it is based on the research done in the area since 2007. Most of the collecting has been done on salt steppes around the large lakes (sea lagoons) Razim (Razelm) and Sinoe (Histria, Plopu-Sarinasuf), but also in forested areas and rocky hills (Babadag Forest, Cheile Dobrogei, Gura Dobrogei, Cetatea Enisala etc.) from Central Dobrogea. The most remarkable results were obtained in the salt steppes (which have been very little studied before). From these areas, due to the research done in the last three years, three species of Noctuidae were published as new records for Romania: Cucullia argentina (Fabricius, 1787), Tarachidia candefacta (Hübner, [1831]) and Leucania punctosa (Treitschke, 1825). Furthermore, there have been found numerous very local and very rare species, which had previously been known in Romania based on very few individuals such as: Phyllodesma ilicifolia (Linnaeus, 1758), Hyles hippophaes (Esper, 1793), Dasycosa modesta (Staudinger, 1879), Megaspilates mundataria (Stoll, 1782), Idaea sericeata (Hübner, 1813), Paradrymonia vittata bulgarica de Freina, 1983, Grammodes bifasciata (Petagna, 1787), Symira dentinosa Freyer, 1839, Episema lederi Christoph, 1885, Saragossa siccanorum (Staudinger, 1870), Cardepia hartigi (Parenzan, 1981), Polia cherrug Rákosy & Wieser, 1997, Chersotis laeta macini Rákosy, Stangelmeier & Wieser, 1996, Chersotis fimbriola niculescui Rákosy, 1997, Diachrysia chryson deltaica Rákosy, 1996, Euxoa cos (Hübner, [1808]), Parocneria terebinthi (Freyer, 1838) etc. The species protected by Romanian and EU laws are commented. A total of 697 species of Macrolepidoptera from Central Dobrogea are listed. Ten species are new records for the fauna of Dobrogea and 237 species have been not reported previously in this geographical area.

We present new records of the Diplodactylid lizard Diplodactylus tessellatus and Elapid snakes Parasuta dwyeri and Suta suta for the Murray Catchment Management Area of New South Wales, south-eastern Australia. These records extend the distribution of these species by approximately 55 km and 45 km south-eastward (D. tessellatus and S. suta respectively) and 74 km north-westward (P. dwyeri).
