ABSTRACT The northern Brazilian state of Mato Grosso is considered an important biogeographical region, but has many sampling gaps. Apart from the well-documented non volant mammal community in the region, the bat fauna still poorly recorded. The aim of this study was to record the bat species of Juruena National Park, northern Mato Grosso, Brazil. Nineteen sites were sampled using mist-nets placed at ground level and near potential bat roosts. We collected 115 individuals belonging to 35 species and five families, which increased the number of species known for Mato Grosso´s Amazon from 86 to 91. The five new records were: Peropteryx kappleri, Peropteryx leucoptera, Lonchorhina inusitata, Tonatia saurophila, and Artibeus concolor. Our results pointed out the necessity of more studies in order to better estimate the bat diversity in northern Mato Grosso.

During a series of zooplankton surveys carried out during 1984, off the south coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, several species of monstrilloids were present in the samples. A total of 50 individuals of monstrilloid copepods were collected. These belong to four species (Monstrilla brasiliensis Suárez-Morales & Dias, Cymbasoma cf. longispinosum, Cymbasoma cf. rigidum, and Cymbasoma gracilis Gurney). The taxonomic complexes formed by the species C. cf. longispinosum and C. cf. rigidum in Brazilian waters are discussed. The lengths of the specimens are provided in order to contribute to studies and revisions of the specimens belonging to these species-complexes. The species Monstrilla brasiliensis is recorded for the first time in the Rio Grande do Norte coastal region, thus expanding its geographical range in the Brazilian northeastern coast. The results presented herein increase to four the number of species of Monstrilloida known from off Rio Grande do Norte state.

Altica lencorana Konstantinov, A. longicollis (Allard), Aphtlzona atrocaerulae (Stephens), A. violaceae (Koch), and Phyllotreta lorestanica Warchalowski are new for the Turkish Alticinae fauna. A. lencorana and P. lorestanica have earlier been known to occur only in their type localities in Azerbaijan and Iran, respectively. Since then, the records reported here (Bayburt and Erzurum provinces) are the first localities for A. lencorana, and that of Erzurum for P. lorestanica. Additionally, Centaurea glastifolia L. is reported as a new host plant for A. lencorana, and Euphorbia falcate and E. erioplzora as new host plants of Aphthona atrocaerulea and A. violaceae, respectively. The chorotype and host plants are reported for each of the five species.

In order to contribute to the knowledge on helminth parasites of freshwater fishes in Mexico, the helminth fauna of the cyprinid fish Notropis moralesi was studied. The helminth species Bothriocephalus acheilognathi and Rhabdochona canadensis were recovered from 20 examined hosts. Values of prevalence, abundance and mean intensity of each infection are provided. Present work represents the first helminthological study for N. moralesi. Therefore, both helminth species recorded are new host records. This is the second report of B. acheilognathi and the first of R. canadensis for the state of Puebla.

A list of seventeen rare and little known species of Crambidae and Pyralidae from Ukraine is given. Hyperlais claralis (Caradja, 1916) stat. rev., comb. nov. is recorded for the first time for Europe. Five species are found in Ukraine for the first time: H. claralis, Titanio ledereri (Staudinger, 1870), Lambaesia pistrinariella (Ragonot, 1887), Gymnancyla gilvella (Ragonot, 1887) and Sciota lucipetella (Jalava, 1978). Two neglected European species—Lambaesia pistrinariella and Ancylosis monella (Roesler, 1973), are confirmed to occur in Europe. The lectotype of L. pistrinariella is designated and the species is recorded for the first time from Russia. The hitherto unknown females of H. claralis and L. pistrinariella are described. The differences between H. claralis and other related Hyperlais-species are briefly discussed. The adults and the genitalia of H. claralis, H. dulcinalis (Treitschke, 1835), Udea institalis (Hübner, 1819), A. monella, L. pistrinariella, Bradyrrhoa confiniella (Zeller, 1848), B. imperialella (Ragonot, 1887) and G. gilvella are illustrated. The biology of Loxostege clathralis (Hübner, 1813), Epischidia fulvostrigella (Eversmann, 1844), B. imperialella and Pempeliella bulgarica Slamka & Plant, 2016 is described based on observation by the third author in Crimea. Salicornia perenanns Willd. is recorded as a new host plant for G. gilvella and Halocnemum strobilaceum (Pall.) M. Bieb.—as a new host plant for E. fulvostrigella. Epischidia caesariella (Hampson in Ragonot & Hampson, 1901) and Pempeliella sororiella (Zeller, 1839) are removed from the list of Pyralidae of Ukraine due to misidentification.

Intermittent summer collecting during the past ten years has added to my collection a considerable number of noteworthy records. These include additional stations or species previously reported from only a few localities within a particular state and for some of the less wellknown species in New England, new records for the occurrence of six species previously unreported from one or more of the New England states, and a few new host plant records.This is the first of a series of papers now in progress which will supplement my studies of the Tingidae of New England 1951 ). For ease of reerence, therefore, it follows the pattern of that study in the sequence of genera and of species. (Bailey,1951, page 5). All collections were made by the author unless otherwise specied.

Thirty four genera and 215 species of Myxomycetes are present in northeastern Brazil, covering 83 % of families, all subclasses and orders recognized for these microorganisms. Ceará, with an area of 148,825,602 km2, is one of the least explored of the nine states in this region of the country, with records of 27 species, distributed across 13 genera, occurring in a humid forest environment of the southern mesoregion. The dominant vegetation type is the Caatinga (dry, tree-shrub deciduous vegetation), with patches of Cerrado (savanna-like vegetation), Carrasco (montane deciduous shrub vegetation) and fragments of Pluvio-nebular Tropical Subperennial Forest and Pluvial Tropical Subdeciduous Forest. In order to better document the diversity of myxomycetes in that state, specimens were collected from the field between 2002-2007 in Ceará’s northern and northwestern mesoregions. The specimens obtained were deposited at the UFP Herbarium. Eighteen species were recorded, occurring in the Caatinga vegetation and the records of Comatricha, Craterium and Metatrichia increase the number of genera which comprise Ceará’s myxobiota to 16. Arcyria denudata, Craterium leucocephalum, Badhamia panicea, B. melanospora, Didymium intermedium, Metatrichia vesparia, Physarum rigidum and P. tenerum are new records for Ceará, increasing the number of species known to occur in the state to 37.

An annotated list of new records of 45 weevil species is provided. Hadroplontus litura, Larinus iaceae, Magdalis exarata, Pissodes validirostris, Stereocorynes truncorum, Platystomos albinus, Nanophyes globiformis, Ceutorhynchus dubius, and Dorytomus suratus are registered in Ukrainian Polesia for the first time. 34 species are recorded in the west part of Volynian Polesia (= Volyn Region) for the first time. Total known richness of weevils in Volyn Region is increased by 9%. Currently, the list of Curculionoideae inhabiting Volyn Region includes 386 species and subspecies. Additional data on 11 species rare in Ukraine are given. The west range limit of Asproparthenis foveocollis is extended to Volyn Polesia. Discovery of Asproparthenis vexata in Volyn Polesia confirms coexistence of specific insect assemblages associated with endemic psammophilous flora. An alien Lygniodes bischoffi entered into Ukrainian Polesia presumably from Poland. The hornbeam, Carpinus betulus was detected as a new host plant of Cossonus cylindricus for the first time.

Abstract Pará state has one of the longest coastal in Brazil. However, floristic surveys have been conducted in few regions and only one study has comprehensively evaluated the coastal flora of the state. The objective of this study was to create an updated and certified checklist of the angiosperms in the restingas of Pará. The list was made using literature, floristic and taxonomic revisions, herbaria specimens from HBRA, IAN, MFS and MG, and collections made between 2014 and 2018. Overall, 470 species, 279 genera and 92 families were recorded. Of this total, 11 species are new records for coastal Pará. The families with the greatest number of species are Fabaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Myrtaceae, Rubiaceae, Asteraceae, Apocynaceae, Polygalaceae, Convolvulaceae and Melastomataceae, which correspond to 52% of the species. Cyperus, Eugenia, Rhynchospora, Eleocharis and Ipomoea are the most representative genera. For life forms, herbs and shrubs are predominant. Dune fields, restinga forest and herbaceous swamp are the phytophysiognomies with the greatest number of species. A comparison with restingas of northeastern Brazil showed that the flora surveyed is most similar to that of Maranhão, since many species of the Amazonian flora also occur in restingas in this state.

In order to improve knowledge of Trichoptera diversity in Northeast Region, Brazil, we present here the first checklist of caddisflies from Maranhão State with a description of a new species and geographical records for the Northeast Region and for all of Brazil. Collections were made in 16 sites distributed in three municipalities of Maranhão State. A total of 54 caddisflies species, 26 genera and 10 families were recorded, including one new species of Leptoceridae, Triplectides maranhensis sp. nov., which is described and illustrated. All species listed here are recorded for the first time for the state, 23 of which are new records for the Northeast Region, as well as five new species for Brazil. These results increase the number of species reported from the Northeast Region from 167 to 221.
