Fennica 25: 43–48. A new inquiline species of Saphonecrus Dalla Torre & Kieffer, S. reticulatus sp. n., is described with its host gall. This species emerged from stem galls on Quercus aliena var. acutiserrata (Fagaceae). Diagnosis, distribution, and bio- logy of the new species are included and the most important morphological char- acters are illustrated. J.

Abstract In the present study, conducted between 2001 and 2003, four taxa of aquatic gastropoda were identified from the Balıkdamı Wetland. All the species determined are new records for the study area, while one species Theodoxus gloeri sp. nov. is new to science. Neritidae is a representative family of an ancient group Archaeogastropoda, among Gastropoda. Theodoxus is a freshwater genus in the Neritidae, known for a dextral, rapidly grown shell ended with a large last whorl and a lunate calcareous operculum. Distribution of this genus includes Europe, also extending from North Africa to South Iran. In Turkey, 14 modern and fossil species and subspecies were mentioned so far. In this study, we aimed to uncover the gastropoda fauna of an important Wetland and describe a subterranean Theodoxus species, new to science. Key words: Gastropoda, Theodoxus gloeri sp. nov., Sakarya River, Balıkdamı Wetland Turkey. -

Phd Studentship (TV-L E13, 65%) “Metabarcoding of Invertebrates”
PhD studentship (TV-L E13, 65%) “Metabarcoding of invertebrates” The Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn (ZFMK) invites applications for a 3-year PhD position starting no later than May 1st, 2019. The position is part of the project "Integrative Analysis of the influence of pesticides and land use on biodiversity in Germany” (INPEDIV). The interdisciplinary joint research of seven partner institutes1 is led by the Zoological Research Museum Koenig and funded for 3 years by the Leibniz Competition. The aim of this study is to investigate consequences of organic and conventional farming for biodiversity in protected areas. By use of traditional methods and new technologies, we will examine agricultural land use effects on a broad range of plant and animal taxa at study sites in the Rhineland and in Brandenburg. We seek an enthusiastic and highly motivated candidate for field sampling and metabarcoding of invertebrates in the Center for Molecular Biodiversity Research at the ZFMK in Bonn. The main task of the PhD student is to analyze insect and soil fauna samples using novel metabarcoding bioinformatic pipelines and the GBOL reference database. The project will involve the analysis of metabarcoding sequence data from thousands of samples and their integration with data from soil pesticide and nutrient content, land-use patterns and vegetation characteristics, as well as with the occurrence of insectivorous vertebrate species. The PhD student will be supervised by a multi- disciplinary team led by Dr Sarah Bourlat (metabarcoding) and Dr Livia Schäffler (biodiversity assessments) and closely cooperate with researchers at partner institutes (vegetation, invertebrate and vertebrate ecologists, ecotoxicologists). -

Insect Types in the ZFMK Collection, Bonn: Hymenoptera
Insect Types in the ZFMK Collection, Bonn: Hymenoptera Insect Types in the ZFMK Collection, Bonn: Hymenoptera (last update: April 2006) Karl-Heinz Lampe, Dirk Rohwedder & Birgit Rach running title: LAMPE, ROHWEDDER & RACH: Insect Types in ZFMK section Hymenoptera Authors’ addresses: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK), Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany, [email protected] Abstract. The type specimens of Hymenoptera housed in the Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK), Bonn, are listed. There are 74 names recorded; of these 39 (53%) are represented by name bearing (i.e., primary) types. Specific and subspecific names are listed alphabetically, followed by the original genus name, bibliographic citation, original label information (in case of primary types), date and place collected, and finally the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude based on geo-referencing process). Key words. Type specimens, Hymenoptera Introduction This catalogue is generated from the specimen based database BIODAT. Data capture was mainly done within the DIG project (‘Digitization of key Insect groups at ZFMK’). DIG is one of the subprojects of the German GBIF subnode Insecta. It is financially supported by the German Ministry of Science and Education (BMBF) and will run until the end of the year 2005. By adaptation to the ABCD schema (Access to Biological Collection Data) BIODAT became both a BIOCASE- (Biological Collection Access Service for Europe) and GBIF- (Global Biodiversity Information Infrastructure) provider. Therefore full information at the specimen level, and not only of type specimens, for selected ZFMK insect collections (starting with “Homoptera” & Orthoptera) will be sustainably available on the World Wide Web. -

We are pleased to announce that the next Congress of the International Society of Myriapodology will be held in Colombia, August 2021. First, we would like to thank the assistants to the 18th ICM in Budapest, Hungary, for their trust in our proposal for the headquarters of the 19th ICM. We have formed a Committee, that is eagerly working in organizing an event that lives up to your expectations. At the moment, we can communicate to the international myriapodological community that the event is going to take place in a country hotel located in the Colombian department of Quindío (within the coffee-producing region of Colombia), nestled in the Central Andes Mountain Range, with a pleasant mild climate throughout the year. We have selected this region for its breathtaking landscapes, its multiple tourist attractions, and because it was the location of previous international academic events, with excellent results. -

9 Mitt. dtsch. malakozool. Ges. 86 9 – 12 Frankfurt a. M., Dezember 2011 Under Threat: The Stability of Authorships of Taxonomic Names in Malacology RUUD A. BANK Abstract: Nomenclature must be constructed in accordance with agreed rules. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was founded in Leiden in September 1895. It not only produced a Code of nomencla- ture, that was refined over the years, but also provided arbitration and advice service, all with the aim of ensur- ing that every animal has one unique and universally accepted name. Name changes reduce the efficiency of biological nomenclature as a reference system. The Code was established to precisely specify the circumstances under which a name must be changed, and in what way. Name changes are only permitted if it is necessitated by a correction of nomenclatural error, by a change in classification, or by a correction of a past misidentification. Also authorships are regulated by the Code, mainly by Article 50. In a recent paper by WELTER-SCHULTES this Article is interpreted in a way that is different from previous interpretations by the zoological (malacological) community, leading to major changes in authorships. It is here argued that his alternative interpretations (1) are not in line with the spirit of the Code, and (2) will not serve the stability of nomenclature. It is important that interpretation and application of the existing rules be objective, consistent, and clear. Keywords: authorships, malacology, nomenclature, Code, ICZN, Article 50, Pisidium Zusammenfassung: In der Nomenklatur müssen übereinstimmende Regeln gelten. Die Internationale Kommis- sion für Zoologische Nomenklatur (ICZN) wurde im September 1895 in Leiden gegründet. -

Zamora-Macorra1*, Ro L. Granados-Victorino1, Eduardo Santiago-Elena1, Karla G. Elizalde-Gaytán1, Irene Lobato-Vila2 y Juli Pujade-Villar2 Resumen: El Parque estatal Cerro Gordo es una reserva constituida por áreas ejidales, comunales y privadas dentro del Valle de México. La vegetación nativa del parque está conformada por diversos taxa de encinos no identificados, y por lo menos dos de ellos están infestados con agallas, sobre todo en brotes y ramas; aunque, se desconoce la identidad del o de sus agentes causales. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo consistió en identificar las especies de encinos, así como los insectos asociados a las agallas. Se eligieron y marcaron tres sitios dentro del parque, se colectaron ejemplares botánicos y mensualmente se recolectaron agallas en el periodo de febrero a julio del 2017. Las muestras vegetales se secaron, identificaron e integraron a la colección del herbario de la División de Ciencias Forestales de la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo. Las agallas se colocaron en cámaras de emergencia bajo condiciones controladas; los insectos se fijaron en etanol para su determinación taxonómica. Los encinos correspondieron a: Quercus laurina (número de registro 69 367), Q. crassipes (69 368), Q. rugosa (69 369) y Q. microphylla (69 370). En las agallas de las ramas de Q.
