The faunæ of high altitudes always posses a peculiar interest by virtue of the light they throw on problems of geographical distribution, and especially the distribution in ancient times of what is now a strictly Arctic and Alpine fauna. For this reason, the following lists of species, fragmentary as they are, may be of some value as a contribution to our knowledge of the Alpine fauna of Colorado, and for comparison with Arctic and Alpine faunæ in general.

This study contributes to the knowledge of Crabronidae fauna in Tunisia based on specimens collected between 2017 and 2019. Thirty–three species and subspecies belonging to 14 genera representing three subfamilies, Astatinae, Crabroninae and Pemphredoninae, are identified. Fifteen species are new records for Tunisian insect fauna: Astata apostata Mercet, 1910; A. gallica de Beaumont, 1942; Dryudella pulawskii Schmid–Egger, 2014; Prosopigastra nuda (Nurse, 1903); P. punctatissima africana de Beaumont, 1955; Tachytes niloticus R. Turner, 1918; Liris agilis (F. Smith, 1856); L. cleopatra de Beaumont, 1961; Miscophus papyrus de Andrade, 1954; Solierella andradei de Beaumont, 1957; S. insidiosa de Beaumont, 1964; Palarus parvulus de Beaumont, 1949; Trypoxylon deceptorium Antropov, 1991; Diodontus insidiosus Spooner 1938; and Mimumesa unicolor (Vander Linden, 1829). Except for Ectemnius confinis (Walker, 1871), all the identified species have new provincial records. Geographical distribution in Tunisia and the world is given.

First Time

We provide new data on the distribution of 14 long-legged fly species (Diptera, Brachycera, Dolichopodidae) belonging to 10 genera from the Fars Province, Southern Iran. The genera Diaphorus Meigen, 1824, Dolichopus Latreille, 1796, Hydrophorus Fallén, 1823, and Syntormon Loew, 1857 are recorded in the Fars Province for the first time. Dolichopus lairdi Olejnicek, Mohsen & Ouda, 1995 is newly added to the Iranian insect fauna. Four species, Asyndetus albifrons Loew, 1869, Asyndetus fallahzadehi Grichanov, 2019, Chrysotus suavis Loew, 1857, and Medetera pallipes (Zetterstedt, 1843) were the most abundant in the collected material. Available information on geographical distribution and short taxonomic comments for each species are also included.

(1) Medicinal use of bryophytes dates to ancient times, but it has always been marginal due to their small size, difficult identification, lack of conspicuous organs which would attract attention (flowers, fruits) and insipid taste of the herb. The earliest testimonies of their medical use come from the 1500s. The interest in medicinal bryophytes diminished considerably in the 1880s, except for Sphagnum spp., which became a source of dressing material. The second half of the 20th century saw the revival of the study of bryophyte chemistry. (2) Historical printed sources from 1616 to 1889 were queried. Bryophyte species found were taxonomically identified and presented against the background of their confirmed properties and ecology. The study was supplemented with historical vs. modern ethnomedicinal data. (3) In 26 publications, 28 species were identified. Modern usage was known for 10 of them. Medicinal properties of 16 species were confirmed. (4) Species of wide geographical distribution range were (or are still being) used in local folk medicines. Historical ethnobiological and ethnopharmaceutical uses of them are sometimes convergent with their confirmed properties, mostly external (as antimicrobial or cytotoxic remedies).

Species Diagnosis

A detailed complement to the description of the Mexican endemic Pseudophyllinae Liparoscelis pallidispina Stål, 1873 is herein presented, based on several old museum specimens plus recently collected adults. As results, the species diagnosis is updated according to the current taxonomical standards for the order. Moreover, its geographical distribution is clarified and the first precise records of this monotypic genus are given for Michoacán, México and Guerrero States, all of them located at moderately high altitudes on the southern slopes of the Transverse Neovolcanic Belt, above the northeastern reaches of the Balsas Basin. A thorough illustrative complement, which includes a precise map and color photographs of habitus, main morphologically diagnostic structures, habitat and microhabitat.
