Many alien species directly affect humans by damaging agricultural crops and threatening the health of humans and domestic animals. Today, with the widespread use of social media, posts made by citizen scientists provide valuable data about alien species very quickly. This study reveals the importance of online databases for our knowledge on the spread of the Giant Asian Mantes Hierodula tenuidentata and H. patellifera. The data provided by citizen scientists through social media such as iNaturalist, Observation.org, and Alciphron (the latter only for Serbia) provide comprehensive baseline data for monitoring the distribution of these alien species. While 16% of the records of these species were obtained from the literature, 84% consisted of data from social media and personal observations. Our study supports the findings of previous studies stating that citizen scientists make important contributions in monitoring alien species and providing data for early prevention.

A new species of the Callophrys rubi (Linnaeus, 1758) species group, C. hindukushica sp. n., is described from western extremities of the Hindu Kush range in central Afghanistan. The new species differs from the other members of the C. rubi group known from the Iranian Highland, namely C. naderii ten Hagen, 2008 from southeast Iran and C. rubi martinae ten Hagen, 2012 from northeast Iran and south Turkmenistan, in the light green colouration, greenish fringe lacking brown bordering, shape and size of the male androconia and details of the male and female genitalia. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:AB79DCE2-CEFE-4FDF-91F9-52EF46BA5CD2

A new genus and species of harvestman belonging to the family Sclerosomatidae from the Russian Northwest Caucasus is proposed: Amilenoides caucasicus n. gen., n. sp. This species has unusual male penial characteristics, which are judged as plesiomorphic traits within subfamily Leiobuninae. The relationships on subfamily level are discussed. This new species may be a relict of early sclerosomatid evolution. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6796D1B3-46A6-486D-94BD-5F0AB1212F7D

Torquigener flavimaculosus Hardy & Randall (1983) was described based on specimens collected from the Gulf of Aqaba, Gulf of Suez, and Gulf of Aden, which has then penetrated the Mediterranean Sea, becoming one of the most abundant invasive tetraodontids. A comparison of samples collected from the northern Levant coasts of Türkiye between 2007 and 2020 showed that morphometric and meristic characteristics do not fully match either with T. flavimaculosus, or the closely related congeneric species T. hypselogeneion and T. altipinnis. Multivariate analysis carried out by 16 morphometric and six meristic characters did not show any discrimination between the above-mentioned species and exhibited almost identical sequences in genetic analysis. The results strongly suggest that T. flavimaculosus and T. hypselogeneion are conspecific, making the former species a junior synonym of the latter.

We summarize our knowledge about the Cleridae (Coleoptera: Cleroidea) of Oman. Based on literature references, museum specimens, and newly collected material, we present distribution maps of all species known from the Arabian Peninsula, focusing on Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. A new species, Opilo acaciensis Gerstmeier n. sp. is described, and two species were added to the Cleridae fauna of Oman. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FB82CFDC-7372-4143-9265-D927B21F00B1

Marine turtles have temperature-dependent sex determination and the increase in global temperature could cause female predominance due to higher nest temperatures. The temperatures of 163 Green Turtle nests were measured with temperature data loggers at Akyatan beach, Turkey. The mean entire incubation duration (EID) and the sexdetermination period (SPD) temperatures of the Green Turtle nests were 31.03°C and 30.81°C respectively. The mean incubation duration (ID) was 51.94 days. Significant differences were found in terms of ID among nesting seasons, and ID had a negative relationship with the nesting seasons. The mean ID for the nesting seasons had a statistically significant negative correlation with EID temperature. The mean female ratio estimation for the nesting seasons was 89%. Significant differences were found among the female ratio estimations for the nesting seasons. The mean female ratio estimation for the nesting seasons showed a statistically significant negative correlation with ID and nest depth. Long-term temperature increase may pose a threat to the Green Turtle populations.

This paper provides an overview of the Neurigona species found in Iran. During our studies in northern Iran four species of the genus Neurigona Róndani, 1856 have been collected, three of which for the first time in Iran: Neurigona helva Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1990, Neurigona pallida (Fallén, 1823) and Neurigona pseudolongipes Negrobov, 1987. One species, Neurigona persiana Pollet & Kazerani sp. n., proved new to science and is described here. An identification key to the males of the five known species of the genus Neurigona of Iran is given. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:28BC8A7E-391F-4758-B4B0-D2994A269DA8
