Taxonomic Notes on Myllocerus malignus Faust (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Entiminae)

ENTOMOLOGICAL RESEARCH, Issue 4 2003
Kyungduk HAN
ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Myllocerus malignus Faust was described new to science from Korea in 1887. Since then, the species collected from Korea and Far-east Russia has been misidentified as Eumyllocerus gratiosus Sharp, E. filicornis (Reitter), or E. longulus Egorov et Zherikhin. A taxonomic review of Myllocerus malignus Faust (1887) with its synonymy and the clarification of sexual dimorphism is presented. As a results, Myllocerus viridiaureus Suvorov (1915) and Eumyllocerus longulus Egorov et Zherikhin (1990) are synonymized with Myllocerus malignus. [source]

Bdelloid Rotifers from Lakes above 1700 m in Western Italian Alps, with Taxonomic Notes on Dissotrocha macrostyla

INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF HYDROBIOLOGY, Issue 6 2003
Diego Fontaneto
Abstract Benthic and periphytic bdelloid communities from 16 alpine lakes from 1700 to 2850 m above sea level in Sesia Valley (Piedmont region, North-western Italy), sampled during summer 2001 and 2002, were analyzed. Seventeen species were identified from these species-poor communities, with 1 to 6 species each. Dissotrocha macrostyla and Philodina citrina were the most common species, present in 10 lakes while 9 species were collected from one lake only. New morphological details from S.E.M. pictures of Dissotrocha macrostyla revealed that Dissotrocha macrostyla tuberculata (Gosse, 1886) is only a seasonal morphotype. Its different appearance is due to the presence of locally distributed microscopic mucous bubbles (diameter 1.41 ± 0.18 ,m) on the trunk surface, produced by the rotifer itself under stressful conditions.

BOTANICAL JOURNAL OF THE LINNEAN SOCIETY, Issue 2 2004
AARON P. DAVIS
Coffea bridsoniae and C. kihansiensis are described as new species from the Eastern Arc Mountains, Tanzania. Full descriptions and conservation assessments are given, and affinities with other East African Coffea species are discussed. Supplementary taxonomic notes on Tanzanian Coffea are given, including a concise species checklist. Conservation issues concerning Tanzanian Coffea and the Kihansi River Gorge are briefly covered. © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2004, 146, 237,245.
