A floristic study including the taxonomic identity and distribution of Agavaceae was done for Querétaro, México. In Mexico, the family Agavaceae is very important for its etnobotan ical, evolutionary, floristics and taxonomic relevance. Even that Querétaro has a high environmental diversity, the knowledge of the family was limited with previous reports of 15 species. By intensive collections, six genera and 31 species were found. Out of them, two genera (Beschorneria and Prochnyanthes) and 16 species are new reports for Querétaro. Besides, two species of Agave are new for science, and the natural distribution of Agave alboma1ginata is known for the first time. Comparing the number of species of Agavaceae per unit of area from each State in México, we conclude that Querétaro is the third more diverse state.

Located in southwestern Maranhão, the Parque Nacional da Chapada das Mesas (PNCM), with an extent of about 160,046 ha, is completely inserted in the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. The topography is characterized by a plateau formation consisting of steep hills and medium-altitude mountains with flat tops, which give the PNCM its name. We present an annotated checklist of the mosses that occur in the PNCM. Our checklist includes 26 species of pleurocarpous mosses distributed in 10 families and 22 genera and two species of cladocarpous mosses of the family Orthotrichaceae. The most species-rich families of pleurocarpous mosses were Sematophyllaceae (7 spp.), Pylaisiadelphaceae (6 spp.), and Stereophyllaceae (4 spp.). Eleven species are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and three species are recorded for the first time in the northeast region of Brazil. Taxithelium pluripunctatum (Renauld & Cardot) W.R. Buck and Trichosteleum glaziovii (Hampe) W.R. Buck, are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. Our results expand the knowledge of the Brazilian bryoflora and add distribution data for a number of species in Maranhão and the northeast region.

Angiostrongylus costaricensis is a nematode parasitic of rodents. Man may become infected by ingestion of the third stage larvae produced within the intermediate hosts, usually slugs from the family Veronicellidae. An epidemiological study carried out in a locality in southern Brazil (western Santa Catarina State) where these slugs are a crop pest and an important vector for A. costaricensis has documented for the first time the natural infection of Deroceras laeve with metastrongylid larvae. This small limacid slug is frequently found amid the folds of vegetable leaves and may be inadvertently ingested. Therefore D. laeve may have an important role in transmission of A. costaricensis to man.

Information about spring ascomycetous fungi on the territory of the nature tract "Kholodnyi Yar" is presented. As the result of the study 33 species of the ascomycetous fungi were identified, 19 of which are actually spring species and 14 – found in the spring. 15 species are registered for the nature tract "Kholodnyi Yar" for the first time. The largest number of species is represented by the family Morchellaceae (5 species), as well as by the families Pezizazeae (4 species) and Sclerotiniaceae (4 species). The ecological-trophic structure is dominated by species with a saprotrophic feeding strategy, which belong to xylotrophs, humus saprotrophs and herbophilic fungi. The group of xylotrophs was the predominant group of saprotrophic fungi in terms of the number of species (10 species). Humus saprotrophs numbered 9 species of the order Pezizales. In addition, representatives of the group of herbophilic (6 species), which use last year's remnants of herbaceous plants as a substrate, were quite common. Dumontinia tuberosa was the most common species among biotrophic species which parasitizes on the rhizomes of plants of the genus Anemone and forms fruiting bodies at the same time as the flowering period of the host plant. Symbiotrophs were represented by 3 species that are also capable of the saprotrophic feeding strategy inherent to humus saprophytes. A new location for Gyromitra slonevskii, Morchella crassipes and M. steppicola – species which were listed in the third edition of the Red Book of Ukraine – has been registered. Species included in the local red lists were also identified, namely Gyromitra gigas and Verpa bohemica (Kyiv region), Helvella acetabulum (Kherson region). The finding of Phylloscypha phyllogena is the second in Ukraine and the first on the territory of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.

The third part of a study series on the family Tettigoniidae from Turkey and the Middle East Region is presented, which includes only the subfamily Tettigoniinae of Turkey. A key to tribes, genera and subgenera found in Turkey is proposed. The synonymy of the tribe Platycleidini Brunner, 1893 (with Decticini Herman, 1874) is confirmed. Pezodrymadusa striolata ziyaretensis Koçak & Kemal, 2010 [with Pezodrymadusa affinis (I.Bolívar, 1899)], Anadolua rammei Karabağ, 1952 (with Anadolua burri Karabağ, 1952), Psorodonotus rize Kaya et Çıplak, 2014 (with Psorodonotus davisi Karabağ, 1956), Parapholidoptera intermixta Karabağ, 1961 [with Parapholidoptera indistincta (I.Bolívar, 1899)] are synonymized. Parapholidoptera indistincta (I.Bolívar, 1899) is reinstated as an independent species. Six new species, Pezodrymadusa dentata Ünal, sp. nov., Mixodusa retusa Ünal, sp. nov., Platycleis (Squamiana) supericola Ünal, sp. nov., Platycleis (Squamiana) goeksunica Ünal, sp. nov., Parapholidoptera yarpuzi Ünal, sp. nov. and Eupholidoptera singularis Ünal, sp. nov. are described. The invalidly described Schulmeisteri schulmeisteri Harz is discussed and its only specimen is included in the genus Pezodrymadusa as a new species. The genus Mixodusa Stolyarov and the subspecies, Pholidoptera aptera bulgarica Maran, 1953 are recorded from Turkey for the first time. An overlooked historical record of Psorodonotus venosus brunneri Stshelkanovtzev, 1914 from Turkey is determined. Discussions of many taxa and some records from new localities are presented. A full list of the Turkish Tettigoniinae is given. 357 figures are provided.

The article presents the results of the authors’ long-term research (2011–2017), including the collection ofherbarium material in all regions of Khakassia, as well as accounting of materials of big Siberian herbaria (HGU, KRAS,NS, TK) and literary information. A taxonomic analysis of the family Rosaceae Juss. was performed for the first time forthe flora of Khakassia on the basis of the original synopsis, which includes 108 species from 26 genera. The taxonomicstructure of Rosaceae in Khakassia flora testifies to its relative autochthonous nature. The average number of species inthe genus is high – 4.2. This indicator is higher than the indicators for the entire flora of Khakassia – 3.24, for the floraof the northwestern part of the Altai-Sayan province – 3.5 (Alchemilla s. l.), for the flora of the Yenisei Sayans – 3.8,where autochthonous trends are noted. More than half of the species in the family (57) contain the genera Alchemilla andPotentilla, whose centers of speciation are located in mountain systems.

Two hundred and one species of the family have been established on the territory of the Vitosha Mt. The genera Gymnoptera, Peromitra, Plectanocnema and Tubicera have been recorded for the first time on the Balkan Peninsula and Menozziola - in Bulgaria. Sixty-nine species are new for the Balkan Peninsula and additional thirty-two - for Bulgaria. On the basis of the established number of species, it can be concluded that Vitosha Mountain is an area with a significant scuttle fly diversity. Some new data are established about flower visiting of some scuttle fly species.

Fertilizations of Ophelia bicornis Savigny were made and the larvae reared. This is the first time the larval development of any member of the family Opheliidae has been described.The trochosphere is small and somewhat yolky; it has a broad prototroch, a narrow telotroch, a strong apical tuft and a long anal cilium.Annulation is accompanied by the appearance of parapodial lobes and bristles. When the first pair of bristles of the third setiger protrude the larva is ready to metamorphose. It has two, sometimes three eyes.The larva in its later stages can adhere strongly to solid objects, such as sand grains, by a secretion from the four anal papillae and the parapodial lobes. This is interpreted as an adaptive aid to settlement on sand banks swept by strong currents.At metamorphosis the larval external cilia are lost and the bristles rapidly elongate, especially those of the third setiger.Some of the larval bristles are slightly winged. So far only capillary bristles have been known in the Opheliidae.It is pointed out that a development such as that of Ophelia is more typical of polychaetes as a whole than are the developments of certain species commonly used as text-book types.
