Lichen Substance

Caloplaca badioreagens is a new endolithic species of subgenus Pyrenodesmia characterized by a greyish brown, K+ reddish brown epithecium, and simple, non-capitate paraphyses. It is readily distinguishable from other endolithic Pyrenodesmias (C. agardhiana, C. alociza, C. erodens) by the presence of an unknown lichen substance in the excipulum and the subhymenium, forming large, rectangular crystal plates in GAW and GE. The new species was collected on hard limestone in three localities of central and southern Italy.

Microscopy Examination

The genus Setosella included to date six species. After revision, only four of these species were retained, i.e. S. vulnerata, S. cavernicola, S. folini and S. spiralis. The remaining two species were tentatively placed in Woodipora, W.? antilleana n. comb., and Andreella,  A.? fragilis n. comb. On the other hand, scanning electron microscopy examination of Mediterranean material, revealed the presence of three new species previously included in species complexes: S. cyclopensis n. sp. from the open-shelf, S. rossanae n. sp. from submarine caves, and S. alfioi n. sp. from deep-waters. The diagnosis of the genus was amended to include the occurrence of kenozooids in S. cyclopensis n. sp. and S. cavernicola, and of free-living ring-shaped and scorpioid colonies in S. folini and S. alfioi n. sp. All the seven species n           1ow in Setosella have present-day representatives; the geographic distribution of the genus 1sinian of southern Italy and insular Greece, with only three species occasionally and discontinuously reported. All species are able to produce numerous, subsequent intramural buds and morphological differences seem to be consistently associated with exploitation of particular habitats and substrata.

A New Species

Pselaphogenius chloe sp. n. belonging to the fiorii species group is described. The distribution of the 12 species belonging to this group is detailed and an identification key is provided. The hypothesis that the current distribution and the differentiation of the species of the Pselaphogenius of the fiorii group have been determined by the Pleistocenic glaciations is discussed.

We describe two species of the ant genus Temnothorax: T. alienus nov. spec. and T. saxatilis nov. spec. Both new species are endemic to middle and southern Italy. We characterize the two species and compare them to similar Temnothorax from Italy and the Western Palaearctic.

A New Species

The genus Biscogniauxia is paraphyletic to members of the family Xylariaceae and includes at least 52 species to date that are mainly pathogens of dicotyledonous angiosperm trees. Most of these are forest trees, such as those in the genera Acacia, Acer, Alnus, Eucalyptus, Fraxinus, Populus, and Quercus, and other species of minor importance. Biscogniauxia spp. have been reported as endophytes or secondary invaders that attack only stressed plants. During a survey in rosaceous orchards in southern Italy, several charcoal cankers were observed and stroma samples were collected. A collection of 31 Biscogniauxia isolates was analyzed. Their phylogenetic relationships were determined through study of the internal transcribed spacer, β-tubulin, and actin gene sequences. Combining morphological, cultural, and molecular data, a new species of Biscogniauxia is described here as Biscogniauxia rosacearum. This new species was isolated for the first time from rosaceous hosts in Apulia. Pathogenicity tests showed that it causes symptoms on stems when artificially inoculated and produces stromata on the bark surface.

A New Species

Limonium poimenum is here proposed as a new species for Science. It is a very peculiar and extremely localized species, growing on a calcareous mountain of NW Sicily (southern Italy), where it grows on rupestrian places together with many other rare chasmophytic endemics. Iconography, morphological features, ecology and conservation status are provided, as well as a morphological comparison with L. todaroanum.

In this contribution we present the Catalog of Italian spiders, produced on the base of the available scientific information regarding spider species distribution in Italy. We analysed an amount of 1124 references, resulting in a list of 1670 species and subspecies, grouped in 434 genera and 53 families. Information on spider biodiversity in Italy has increased rapidly in the last years, going from 404 species at the end of XIX century, to 1400 in the 1990s, to the current 1670. However, the knowledge on the distribution of the Italian species is far from being complete and it seems likely that there are still new species to be found or described. The Italian spider fauna is characterized by the presence of a relevant number of endemic species (342). Concerning families, Linyphiidae show the highest number of species (477) and the highest number of endemics (114). Gnaphosidae (166) and Salticidae (144) follows in terms of species richness, while Dysderidae (72) and Agelenidae (38) follows as total number of endemics. Information regarding the regional distribution revealed great unbalance between Northern and Southern Italy, with very scarce records for some regions in the South. This work is accompanied by an online version freely available online at www.araneae.it, where all information is thoroughly detailed and regularly updated by the authors. Besides spiders, we also provide, the species lists of other Arachnid orders occurring in Italy (Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpionida, Scorpiones, Solifugae). The lists and the associated details are available in a dedicated section of the online version of the Catalog.

<em>Agonum</em> <em>tulliae</em> sp. n. is described from the Sila Massif upland in Calabria, Italy. This species is similar to <em>Agonum</em> (<em>Olisares</em>) <em>sexpunctatum</em> (Linné, 1758) as far as the external morphology is concerned, but it is easy to distinguish by the colour pattern, the shape of pronotum, and at best by the morphology of male genitalia. The study includes some remarks about the habitat and ecology of the new species. It lives only in the eastern part of the Sila massif and occupies the southernmost part of the distribution area of the <em>Agonum sexpunctatum</em> (Linné, 1758) complex in Italy.
