Trechus (Trechus) nezlobinskyi sp. n. is described from a high-altitude area of Jablanica Mt. (southwest Republic of Macedonia). The new species belongs to the “obtusiusculus” group of species and it is treated as most closely related to Trechus (Trechus) ravasinianus Lorenz, 1998 from Central Albania. The diagnostic characters of the new species are described and illustrated.

A New Species

The present study describes a new ground-beetle species (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Madeira island (type localities: FANAL and RIBEIRO BONITO), Orthomus (Nesorthomus) susanae Serrano & Borges, n. sp. Adults were sampled by means of pitfall traps. This work provides diagnostic characters, in particular the structure of male genitalia, and the distribution of this new species. Affinities to putative relatives and a key for the identification of males of the eight Orthomus (Nesorthomus) species of the Madeira island are also given.

Two new ground beetle species from western Serbia are described, Omphreus (Omphreus) ovcarensis sp. n. (from Mt. Ovčar) and Omphreus (Omphreus) serbooccidentalis sp. n. (from Bukovi Peak, Mt. Maljen). Male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The two new species are clearly distinct from their closest congeners. They have a restricted and probably relict distribution, endemic to the Dinaric Alps in Serbia. A key to five species and two subspecies of the genus Omphreus Dejean from Serbia is presented.

Three new leiodid beetle species, viz. Petkovskiella henrikenghoffi sp. n. (Republic of Macedonia, Mt. Dautica), Babuniella jovanhadzii sp. n. (Republic of Macedonia, Mt. Karadžica) and Magdelainella milojebrajkovici sp. n. (Serbia, Mt. Javor), are described and diagnostified. Both adult genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. Babuniella Z. Karaman is given a full generic status. All new species studied are clearly distinct from their closest congeners. These forms are of the Tertiary or even pre-Tertiary origin and age, and represent both relicts and endemics inhabiting central and southern areas of the Balkan Peninsula.

A New Species

A new species, Duvalius karaormanicus sp. n., in the subgenus Euduvalius, is described from the type locality: Mlečnik cave in the Karaorman Mountain in the south-western part of the Republic of Macedonia. This is the second cave-dwelling Duvalius and the sixth representative of the genus so far recorded from the Republic of Macedonia. Based on its diagnostic characters, the new species is found to be related to the species in the “gogalai” and “petroclzilosi” groups. D. karaormanicus sp. n. occupies an intermediate position between the species from these two groups and is therefore placed in a separate “karaormanicus” species group.

Male and female genital structures and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The new species is clearly distinct from its closest congeners. Fifteen species of the genus so far known are arranged in six groups. The new species is both endemic and relict, inhabiting southeastern Serbia only.

A New Species

A new species of Eutardigrada, Platicrista ramsayi sp. nov., is described from moss samples collected at high altitude on Volcán Chiles in the Ecuadorian Andes. This species differs from all others previously described in the genus by having only oblique cuticular bars on the first three pairs of legs. Platicrista affine (Mihel…i…, 1951) is formally designated as a nomen dubium. An amendment to the diagnostic characters for Platicrista itaquasconoide is proposed. A key to the species of the genus is presented.

A new coral species, Acropora rongelapensis, from the northern central Pacific Ocean is described. On present records, this species appears to be endemic to the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Distinguishing features of the species include sub-flattened branches with widely separated radial corallites born laterally. Diagnostic characters of the new species place it within the Acropora loripes group.

The male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important morphological structures are presented. The new species is clearly different from the closest relatives and is endemic to caves in a limited area in western Serbia.

Terrestrial Biodiversity

Knowledge of the biodiversity of Madeiran islands has for long attracted entomologists in search of new, rare or biologically interesting beetle species. During the XIXth century, Trevor Wollaston extensively sampled the Madeiran islands, compiling a list of almost 700 beetle species, many of them new to science and described by him (e.g., Wollaston 1854, 1865). Thus, for many decades it was thought that the inventory of Madeiran beetle diversity was complete (Machado 2006, but see Lobo & Borges 2010). However, particularly in recent decades, a number of beetle species (most of them of small size and from groups taxonomically more difficult) have been described (see a complete list in Borges et al. 2008b) and important taxonomic revisions have also been made incorporating critical analysis by taxonomic experts. For these reasons, it was as a surprise to find a medium-size and yet undescribed ground beetle species following an extensive survey of epigean arthropods occurring in Madeiran laurel forest fragments. The new species was described in a generic revision of Madeiran Orthomus Chaudoir, 1838 submitted to Zootaxa (Serrano et al. 2009) and the species was included in the comprehensive list of Madeiran terrestrial biodiversity (Borges et al. 2008a), a reference publication on Madeiran fauna and flora published in May 2008. This book also presented a chapter where the distribution of the new species was modelled using predictive distribution models (Jiménez-Valverde et al. 2008).
