Catalogue of ants of Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and adjacent regions (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

Abstract: Catalogue of ants of Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and adjacent regions is given with country data, list of synonyms, and comments. From the area 1261 species are rocorded. All infraspecific names, including subspecies names, are treated as synonyms although in future studies many of them can be raised to species level. Table with distribution of ant species in major regions of Europe and the Mediterranean Subregion is presented. From Europe 622 species have been recorded, from North Africa 441, Middle East 256, Turkey and transcaucasian countries 358, Iran 165, and Arabian Peninsula 304.

A new checklist of the weevils of Poland (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)

Abstract: Complete and updated list of 1052 species (including one subspecies) of the weevils (Curculionoidea) found in Poland until 2004 is given, with comments on all systematic and nomenclatural changes compared to the last published catalogue (2000). The index of 273 genera and 94 subgenera, together with their type species, is given separately. Status of the following taxa has been changed: Perapion oblongum (Gyllenhal) (resurrected from synonymy with P. curtirostre (Germar)); Phyllobius vespertinus (Fabricius) (resurrected from synonymy with Ph. pyri (Linnaeus)); Microplontus melanostigma (Marsham) (resurrected from synonymy with M. rugulosus (Herbst)); Otiorhynchus reichei Stierlin is transferred from subgenus Amosilnus Reitter to subgenus Magnanotius Alonso-Zarazaga et Lyal; Melanobaris Alonso-Zarazaga et Lyal, Aulacobaris Desbrochers and Labiaticola Alonso-Zarazaga et Lyal reduced to subgenera of Baris Germar. Records on 27 species of the total number are considered doubtful, the occurrence of these species in Poland should be confirmed. Twenty five taxa have been added to the list of Polish weevils, 6 of them announced for the first time, 3 others are indicated as undescribed or unidentified species. Barypeithes globus Seidlitz has been deleted from the list, whilst Acallocrates denticollis (Germar) is replaced with A. colonnellii Bahr and Mogulones t-album (Gyllenhal) with M. aubei (Boheman).

Pronophiline butterflies of the highlands of Chachapoyas in northern Peru: faunal survey, diversity and distribution patterns (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

Abstract: Butterflies of the tribe Pronophilini (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) are surveyed in the highlands of Chachapoyas covering the northern part of the Andean Eastern and Central Cordilleras in Peru. 112 species are reported and discussed including their geographic distributions, altitudinal ranges and identification keys. 55 new taxa (35 species and 20 subspecies) are described: Apexacuta improvisa n. sp., A. superior n. sp., Corades tripunctata necrufa n. ssp., Corderopedaliodes corderoi exornata n. ssp., Daedalma. fraudata n. sp., D. vertex n. sp., D. boliviana peruviana n. ssp., Eretris

European species of the family Lymnaeidae (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Basommatophora)

Abstract: The book presents the general data regarding freshwater snails of the order Basommatophora as well as detailed knowledge of the lymnaeid morphology, anatomy, biology, ecology and taxonomy. The book contains a key to species identifications and authoris views on the phylogeny and the relationships within the family Lymnaeidae. The book is addressed to malacologists and to hydrobiologists, teachers, students and amateur-malacologists.

Morphology, phylogeny and classification of the family Erotylidae based on adult characters (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea)

Abstract: Morphology of 25 geneera of Erotylidae - the type-genera of all higher taxa (subfamilies and tribes) distinguished in the family, as well as representatives of morphologically distinctive groups is described and discussed. 85 adult morphological characters have been used. The results of phylogenetic analysis show that Erotylidae and Languriidae must be combined into single family Erotylidae. Erotylidae are divided into two subfamilies: Xenoscelinae (including Cryptophilinae n. syn., Toraminae n. syn. and Setariolinae n. syn.). and Erotylinae (including former Languriinae n. syn.). Erotylinae is divided into five tribes: Dacnini, Languriini, Erotylini, Tritomini, Encaustini (= Megalodacninae n. syn.).
