Die ersten Nachweise der Wasserassel Proasellus meridianus CRacovitza, 1919) (Crustacea, Isopoda Asellidae) im Einzugsgebiet der Ems KARL FRIEDRICH HERHAUS, Münster In Deutschland ist die von HENRY und MAGNIEZ (1970) revidierte Familie Asellida,e Sars, 1899, mit drei oberirdischen Arten vertreten. Die am weitesten verbreitete Art ist Asellus ( Asellus) aquaticus (L., 175 8); sie ist ein sibirisches Faunenelement, das sich postglazial nach Westen hin ausgebreitet hat (BrRSTEIN 1951; WILLIAMS 1962). Weitaus weniger häufig tritt die zweite Art, Proasellus coxalis (Dollfus, 1892), auf; diese im übrigen circummediterran verbreitete Art ist in Mittel europa mit der Unterart septentrionalis (Herbst, 1956) vertreten, die vermutlich erst in jüngster Zeit eingeschleppt worden ist (HERHAUS 1977). Am seltensten ist auf deutschem Boden die dritte Art, Proasellus meridianus (Racovitza, 1919). P. meridianus ist eine autochthon west europä,isch-atlantische Form (GRUNER 1965); in Deutschland wurde sie von STAMMER (1932) am linken Niederrhein nachgewiesen. Für die sichere Bestimmung der drei Arten ist die Untersuchung der Pleopoden II unter dem Binokular unerläßlich. -

Czaja) Received: 14 April 2019; accepted: 6 November 2019 Abstract We present an updated checklist of native Mexican freshwater gastropods with data on their general distribution, hotspots of endemicity, threats, and for the first time, their estimated conservation status. The list contains 193 species, representing 13 families and 61 genera. Of these, 103 species (53.4%) and 12 genera are endemic to Mexico, and 75 species are considered local endemics because of their restricted distribution to very small areas. Using NatureServe Ranking, 9 species (4.7%) are considered possibly or presumably extinct, 40 (20.7%) are critically imperiled, 30 (15.5%) are imperiled, 15 (7.8%) are vulnerable and only 64 (33.2%) are currently stable. -

Fauna of Brackish Polder Waters in Flanders (Belgium)
JOURNAL OF CRUSTACEAN BIOLOGY, 31(2): 270-277, 2011 SHIFTS IN THE GAMMARID (AMPHIPODA) FAUNA OF BRACKISH POLDER WATERS IN FLANDERS (BELGIUM) Pieter Boets, Koen Lock, and Peter L.M. Goethals (PB, correspondence, [email protected]; KL; PLMG) Laboratory of Environmental Toxicology and Aquatic Ecology, Ghent University, J. Plateaustraat 22, Ghent B-9000, Belgium ABSTRACT The macrocrustacean community of brackish polder waters in Flanders was investigated based on a twenty year survey comprising 430 biological samples taken at 218 different locations. A clear shift in the gammarid community could be observed. After its introduction, the alien Gammarus tigrinus, originating from North America, reached high abundances and became widely spread in the polder waters within a few years. Simultaneously, a decrease in the prevalence of the indigenous brackish water gammarids G. duebeni and G. zaddachi occurred. However, at the same time a decrease in the salinity of the polder waters also was observed. Uni- and multivariate data analysis revealed a clear difference in the environmental preferences of G. tigrinus, G. duebeni, and G. zaddachi. The alien species preferred lower salinities, lower orthophosphate concentrations, and a higher oxygen concentration compared to the two indigenous species. Besides the decrease in prevalence of the native gammarids, a decrease was also observed in prevalence of two other indigenous brackish water crustaceans: Palaemonetes varians and Neomysis integer. It appears that the decrease in salinity is the most important factor causing the decline of the indigenous gammarids and not the introduction of the alien G. tigrinus. KEY WORDS: alien species, Gammarus duebeni, Gammarus tigrinus, Gammarus zaddachi, salinity DOI: 10.1651/10-3357.1 INTRODUCTION introductions are critical components in the invasion process. -

In 1942 this species was found in the Czech Republic for the first time and a total of 155 species records were obtained by the end of 2005. Based on distribution data, we observed the gradual expansion of this gastropod not only in the Elbe Lowland, where its occurrence is concentrated, but also in other regions of the Czech Republic particularly between 2001 and 2005. Information on habitat, altitude and co-occurrence with other molluscs are presented.

New Substitute Names for Two Preoccupied Tachinid Genera Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 and Menetus Aldrich, 1926 (Diptera)
_____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 1, No. 2, June 2006__________ 270 NEW SUBSTITUTE NAMES FOR TWO PREOCCUPIED TACHINID GENERA PARAGONIA MESNIL, 1950 AND MENETUS ALDRICH, 1926 (DIPTERA) Hüseyin Özdikmen* * Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, University of Gazi, 06500 Ankara / Turkey, e-mail: [email protected] [Özdikmen, H. 2006. New substitute names for two preoccupied Tachinid genera Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 and Menetus Aldrich, 1926 (Diptera). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 1 (2): 270-272] ABSTRACT: Two junior homonyms were detected amongst the Tachinidae and the following replacement names are proposed: Mesnilius for Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 and Aldrichomyia for Menetus Aldrich, 1926. Accordingly, new combinations are herein proposed for the type species currently included in monotypic genera Paragonia Mesnil, 1950 and Menetus Aldrich, 1926.

(Lepidoptera: Geometroidea: Geometridae: Ennominae). Remarks: Mesnil (1950) proposed the genus Paragonia with the type species Paragonia portentosa Mesnil, 1950 by original designation in the fly family Tachinidae (Diptera) (Cantrell & Crosskey, 1989; Evenhuis, 1996; O’Hara & Wood, 2004; O’Hara, 2005). Unfortunately, the generic name was already preoccupied by Huebner (1823), who had described the genus Paragonia with the type species Phalaena tasima Cramer, 1779 by monotypy in the moth family Geometridae (Lepidoptera). Scoble et al. (1999) included 9 species and 2 subspecies (inc. nominates) in the genus Paragonia Huebner, 1823 and also Clysia Guenée, 1858 as a junior synonym of the genus Paragonia. -

(Crustacea: Asellidae) Part II
Int. J, Speleol. 5 (19'73), pr. 283-310. The Evolution of the Eastern North American Isopods of the Genus Asellus (Crustacea: Asellidae) Part II by LAURENCE E. FLEMING* This paper is the s,~cond in a three part series dealing with the evolution of North American isopods of the genus Aselllls. It contains a discussion of the generic status of Asellus, a generic diagnosis, a list of North American species, a key to North American species and the reduction to synonymy of certain nominal species of the genus Aselllls. I would like to thank Dr. Perry C. Hoi t for reviewing this manuscript and Mrs. Patty Lady for typing this manuscript. DETERMINATION OF THE GENERIC STATUS OF ASELLUS The following discussion will be concerned with opinions, theories and works of some European and Asiatic workers on the asellids. It should be noted that these references will, of necessity, be rather incomplete. Much of their work is not applicable to the ec,stern North American fauna and only those papers that have a direct bearing on the North American forms will be mentioned. The family Asellidae is cosmopolitan in distribution and was formerly considered to be composed of five genera of which two are found in eastern North America: Aselllls (worldwide in distribution) and LircellS (restricted to eastern North America). In 1962, K. Matsumoto of Japan separated the members of the genus Asellus found in Japan into three genera (Asellus s. str.,Nipponasellus nov. gen. and Uenasellus nov. gen.). Henry and Magniez (I 968a) stated that the genus Asellus, as understood by most European or American authors, is an accumulation of species, some of which appear to be unrelated to the others. -

Additional samples from artificial substrates (1992–2003) and other techniques (various periods) were analysed. The combined data provide a global and dynamic view on the Peracarida community of the River Meuse, with the focus on the Amphipoda. Among the recent exotic species found, Crangonyx pseudogracilis is regressing, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes is restricted to the Condroz course of the river, Gammarus tigrinus is restricted to the lowlands and seems to regress, Jaera istri is restricted to the ‘tidal’ Meuse, Chelicorophium curvispinum is still migrating upstream into the Lorraine course without any strong impact on the other amphipod species. -

SMITH, Museum of Zoology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 ABSTRACT. The genus Caecidotea is represented by 2 species in Massachusetts, C. com- munis and C. r. racovitzai. Caecidotea r. racovitzai is restricted to western portions of the state while C. communis occurs throughout the state. Collections of Caecidotea sp. are demonstratively unispecific in drainages where both species are found. Subsequent col- lecting in 2 localities that formerly produced both species revealed only one species; how- ever, in each case a different species had become dominant. The predominance of unispecific collections in areas of sympatry combined with the overall meristic and morphological similarity of the 2 species suggests that C. communis and C. r. racovitzai in- teract competively. However, other factors, such as physical characteristics of the environ- ment, may be affecting the distribution of at least one species, C. r. racovitzai. OHIOJ.
