    Fossil Lizards and Snakes from Ano Metochi – a Diverse Squamate Fauna from the Latest Miocene of Northern Greece

    Published in "Historical Biology 29(6): 730–742, 2017" which should be cited to refer to this work. Fossil lizards and snakes from Ano Metochi – a diverse squamate fauna from the latest Miocene of northern Greece Georgios L. Georgalisa,b, Andrea Villab and Massimo Delfinob,c aDepartment of Geosciences, University of Fribourg/Freiburg, Fribourg, Switzerland; bDipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Torino, Torino, Italy; cInstitut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Edifici ICTA-ICP, Barcelona, Spain ABSTRACT We here describe a new squamate fauna from the late Miocene (Messinian, MN 13) of Ano Metochi, northern Greece. The lizard fauna of Ano Metochi is here shown to be rather diverse, consisting of lacertids, anguids, and potential cordylids, while snakes are also abundant, consisting of scolecophidians, natricines and at KEYWORDS least two different colubrines. If our identification is correct, the Ano Metochi cordylids are the first ones Squamata; Miocene; identified from Greece and they are also the youngest representatives of this group in Europe. A previously extinction; taxonomy; described scincoid from the adjacent locality of Maramena is here tentatively also referred to cordylids, biogeography strengthening a long term survival of this group until at least the latest Miocene. The scolecophidian from Ano Metochi cannot be attributed with certainty to either typhlopids or leptotyphlopids, which still inhabit the Mediterranean region. The find nevertheless adds further to the poor fossil record of these snakes. Comparison of the Ano Metochi herpetofauna with that of the adjacent locality of Maramena reveals similarities, but also striking differences among their squamate compositions.

    Xerotyphlops Vermicularis (MERREM, 1820), in the West Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains: Rediscovery After More Than 100 Years

    200 SHORT NOTE HERPETOZOA 27 (3/4) Wien, 30. Jänner 2015 SHORT NOTE Xerotyphlops vermicularis (MERREM, 1820), in the west Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains: rediscovery after more than 100 years The Eurasian Blind Snake, Xerotyph - lops vermicularis (MERREM, 1820), the only representative of the snake family Typhlo - pidae (Scolecophidia) in Europe (gRil- liTSCH & gRilliTSCH 1993), is found in the southern parts of the Balkan Peninsula, specifically in former yugoslavia (Croatia, FyR Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia), Albania, Bul garia, greece and Turkey (gRilliTSCH & gRilliTSCH 1993; gASC et al. 1997; gRilliTSCH et al. 1999) where it represents a chorotype element of the Turano-Mediterranean fauna (JABlONSki et al. 2012). However, the recent molecular data show that this traditionally accepted species is probably a species complex, since some populations from the Middle East show deep genetic divergences indicating their separate evolution since the end of Middle and late Miocene (kORNiliOS et al. 2012). This species prefers xerothermic habitats with deep, dry and soft (sandy) soil where it can burrow, typically rocky slopes with low, sparse bush vegetation, open areas with stones as well as cultivated fields (gRil liTSCH & gRilliTSCH 1993). The known edge of its distribution in the east of the Balkans is formed by several localities on Bulgarian territory (see BESH- kOv & NANEv 2006; STOJANOv et al. 2011), from where it was originally published only at the beginning of the 20th century (kOvA- CHEv 1912; CHiCHkOFF 1914). in Bul garia, this species has a scattered distribution at altitudes below 500 m above sea level. it is found only in the southern parts of the coun- try where it persisted from an earlier more extended distribution.

    UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY at NESEBAR, ANCIENT MESAMBRIA (BLACK SEA), BULGARIA 2018 Director: Dr

    ANNUAL REPORT: UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY AT NESEBAR, ANCIENT MESAMBRIA (BLACK SEA), BULGARIA 2018 Director: Dr. Nayden Prahov, archaeologist at the National Institute of Archaeology with Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; Balkan Heritage Foundation Program Director ([email protected]) Students and instructors preparing for the field work The field school took place in Nesebar, Bulgaria (ancient Mesambria) on the Black Sea coast from May 25 to June 21, 2018. This was the first season of the project, which is an initiative of the Balkan Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Institute for Field Research (BHF-IFR Joint Program) and the Bulgarian Centre for Underwater Archaeology. The goal of the field school was to provide experience and training in underwater and maritime archaeology through participation in three ongoing research and conservation projects. The major research project was the investigation of the submerged heritage of Nesebar, ancient Mesambria. The settlement was established by Thracian tribes, but at the end of 6th century Dorian colonizers settled here and founded a Greek colony which grew quickly and became one of the most powerful towns along the western Black Sea Coast in the Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine era, as well as in the Middle Ages and the Ottoman period. Underwater studies in the region of Nesebar began in 1960. Sixteen underwater archaeological seasons were conducted in total (1960-1983 and 2017). During these studies, it was found that significant parts of the ancient town today are below the sea level. Ruins of fortification walls, towers, staircases, gates and other structures from the pre-Roman era, Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, were traced in various sectors around the peninsula.

ISSN 1836-5779 (Online) Korniliostyphlops a new genus of Blindsnake from the island of Socotra. RAYMOND T. HOSER 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3114, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 1 June 2014, Accepted 1 July 2014, Published 30 August 2014. ABSTRACT Hoser (2012) published a review of the world’s extant Scolecophidians naming numerous new tribes, genera and subgenera. The new taxonomy was based on a scientific review of all species in light of recent molecular studies and older morphological studies involving the majority of known species. Notwithstanding the usual howls of protest from a group known as the truth haters (e.g. Kaiser et al. 2013), who advised others to ignore the taxonomy proposed by Hoser (2012), other authors have in fact upheld the Hoser taxonomy, including Hedges et al. (2014), Rangasamy et al. (2014), Wellington (2014) and others. In a review of the Palearctic and Socotran species Kornilios et al. (2013) found significant divergence between members of the genus Lenhosertyphlops Hoser, 2012, which by their estimate was nearly 30 million years ago. As a result of this significant division and obvious morphological differences, the species Lenhosertyphlops socotranus (Boulenger, 1889) is herein placed in a new monotypic genus Korniliostyphlops gen. nov., formally defined and named herein according to the Zoological Code (Ride et al. 1999). The genera Trioanotyphlops Hoser, 2012 and Cottontyphlops Hoser, 2012 were also confirmed as distinct (with a 19.6 MYA divergence) by the molecular data of Kornilios et al.

Abstract The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molec- ular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new DNA sequences, and propose a new taxonomic framework for the family Typhlopi- dae. Of 257 named species of typhlopid snakes, 92 are now placed in molecular phylogenies along with 60 addition- al species yet to be described. Afrotyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and contains three genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, and Rhinotyphlops. Asiatyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed in Asia, Australasia, and islands of the western and southern Pacific, and includes ten genera:Acutotyphlops, Anilios, Asiatyphlops gen.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 125–141. https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e67015 Abstract Bulgarian ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country which are not well researched. The present study aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the tribes Pterostichini, Spho- drini, and Platynini, containing many diverse, interesting, and endemic species. It gives new records for 67 species and 23 zoogeographical regions in Bulgaria. The material was collected in the period from 1926 to 2021 through different sampling methods. Twenty-three species are recorded for the first time in different regions. Six species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Thirty-one species have not been reported for more than 20 years in Eastern and Middle Stara Planina Mts., Kraishte region, Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Lyulin Mts., Vitosha Mts., Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., Slavyanka Mts., Thracian Lowland, and Sakar-Tundzha re- gion.

Forestry Agency (EFA) through conservation and restoration of Bulgaria has limited experience 11 riparian and wetland habitats in management and restoration in forests. The total area of target of riverine and wetland habitats. habitats conserved or restored is The current project was an 21 000 ha. The intention was to opportunity to gain experience achieve the conservation of target and share the lessons learnt habitats through placement of through distribution of good specialised infrastructure (fences, practices for conservation and wooden grates, bridges, tourist restoration of habitats in sites spots) in order to restrict human managed by the EFA, which can impact (access of people and be used in other Natura 2000 vehicles).
