I should like to introduce my working Orthocladius (Eudactylocladius) olivaceus group, which consists of four scientists who (KIerr.), Paracladius conversus (Walren) study systematics and biology of Far Eastern and Paratrichocladius skirwithensis Eow. 45 Chironomidae. Three members. Marina A. species of from the southern Makarchenko, Eugenyi A. Makarchenko part of Primorye Territory (North Korean and Oksana Y. Zorina are working in the and Chinese border region) were found, from Laboratory of Freshwater Hydrobiology of which three species of Parachironomus, the Institute of Biology and Soil Sciences Einfeldia and Pagastiella, appear to be new FEB RAS, (Vladivostok). The main purpose to science and 27 species are recorded for of their investigations is to prepare a Key on Russia for the first time.

Because thermocycling is also used in the sequence reaction, the procedure is somewhat similar to amplification. However, there are three important differences: First, instead of crude DNA, purified PCR product is now used as template. Second, forward and reverse replications of strands are run as separate reactions. This is achieved by adding only one primer of the original pair to the reaction mix. Still, both primers should be Figure l. Agarose gel with PCR used, but now in separate reactions. Third, products (A) and standard Iadder but not least important, is an additional set (B).

The aim of this study was to determine A great difference was observed between the effect of water intake, connected with a the Horlachbach and Gleirschbach (glacial power site, on macroinvertebrate type streams) when the macroinvertebrate communities in alpine streams. The study fauna communities were compared above and was carried out in the Stubaier Alps in four below a water intake, In the Horlachbach high mountain streams: Fischbach, stream, in spite of seasonal differences, at Längentaler Bach, without technical site G2, above the water intake, the density constructions, and Horlachbach, Gleirschbach was always higher, than that at site H3, with water intakes for the power site in below the \¡/ater intake.

A CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of SPIXIANA

in Memory of Dr. Friedrich Reiss

We are glad to be able to announce to you that one of the regular issues of the joumal SPIXIANA in the year 2000 is to become a posthumous tribute to Dr Friedrich Reiss. You are, thus, cordially invited to send any contribution adequate for this occasion - original scientific manuscripts, but possibly also more personal remembrances - either to the editor-in-chief of SPIXIANA: Zoologische Staatssammlung, Dr. Martin Baehr, Münchhausenstr. 2I, D-81247 München. Germany; (Fax: +49 89 8107 300; Email: kldl [email protected]) or to me or another member of the Munich chironomid group you know.

In order to be able to produce this commemorative issue within the shortest possible time, Dr. Baehr has suggested a first deadline for submissions of 3 1 Decembe r 1999 . Given the circumstances, we are hoping you will excuse such tight scheduling. If you would like to contribute, but this announcement reaches you after that date, please, contact us as soon as you can.

Since the volume of the work will be limited to not much more than 96 pages, we may not be able to consider individual papers which exceed a certain length. To make the tasks of the editors easier. please, consult a recent SPIXIANA issue or article for matters of formatting, style, etc.. and type your contribution accordingly. Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic form - on disk or as
