According to research materials collected during faunal campaigns, made in Sicily in the last years, ten new Scarabaeoidea insects were reported in Circumsicilians Islands. In particular, I would signalize: in the Island of Pantelleria the Hybosorus illigeri Reiche, 1853 and the Oryctes nasicornis grypus (Illiger, 1803); in the Islands of Favignana and Marettimo the Phyllognathus excavatus (Forster, 1771); in the Island of Favignana the Anomius castaneus (Illiger, 1803), the Euoniticellus pallipes (Fabricius, 1798) and the Trox fabricii Re-iche, 1853; in the Island of Marettimo the Protaetia (Potosia) hypocrita (Ragusa, 1905); in the Aegadian Islands and Ustica Island the Aethiessa floralis squamosa (Gory et Percheron, 1833) and the Tropinota (Tropinota) squallida squallida (Scopoli, 1763); in the Aegadian Islands the Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761). On the whole, there are 82 species of beetles around Circumsicilian Islands and the interconnections betweens numbers of these insects for each islet and the surface are positive.
根据过去几年西西里岛动物运动期间收集的研究材料，环西西里群岛报告了十种新的Scarabaeoidea昆虫。特别是，我要指出的是：在潘特莱里亚岛，1853年的伊里格里帝国（Hybosorus illigeri Reiche）和格里普斯（Oryctes nasicornis grypus）（伊里格尔，1803年）；在Favignana和Marettimo群岛的Phyllognathus excavatus（福斯特，1771）；在Favignana岛，Anomius castaneus（Illiger，1803）、Euoniticellus palipes（Fabricius，1798）和Trox fabricii Re iche，1853；在Marettimo岛上的Protaetia（Potosia）hypocrita（Ragusa，1905）；在埃加丹群岛和乌斯蒂卡岛，有花斑蝶（Aethiessa floralis squamosa）（Gory et Percheron，1833）和热带风暴（Tropinota）（Scopoli，1763）；在爱加丹群岛的Oxythyrea funesta（波达，1761年）。总的来说，环西西里岛周围有82种甲虫，每个岛屿的这些昆虫数量与表面之间的相互关系是正的。

Melanella cyclopia n. sp. (Gastropoda Eulimidae) is described based on tens of shells found in shell grit taken in various localities located in a short length of Northern coast of Catania (Eastern Sicily, Ionian Sea), between 20 and 45 m depth. Findings include a liven taken specimen, whose soft parts have been observed and drawn. The new species is characterized by a well-rounded, swollen, solid shell similar to some Mediterranean congeners, but peculiar on account of some protoconch and shell details and a different external morphology of the soft parts. Differences from similar species from Eastern Atlantic, Red Sea, as well as Indo-Pacific are hereafter discussed.
Melanella cyclopia n. sp. (Gastropoda Eulimidae)是根据在卡塔尼亚北部海岸(东西西里岛，爱奥尼亚海)20至45米深度的不同地点的贝壳砂中发现的数十个贝壳来描述的。发现包括一个活体标本，其柔软部分已被观察和绘制。新物种的特点是圆圆的、肿胀的、坚实的壳，与地中海的一些同类相似，但由于一些原海螺和壳的细节和柔软部分的外部形态不同，所以很特别。与来自东大西洋、红海以及印度-太平洋的类似物种的差异将在后面讨论。

In the present work we discuss the validity of Putzeysia clathrata (Aradas, 1847) (Gastropoda Eucyclidae) currently considered synonym of P. wiseri (Calcara, 1842), despite being the type species of the genus Putzeysia Sulliotti, 1889. Reported as a fossil for the Early Pleistocene of Sicily and Calabria, it is here redescribed for the first time and, at the same time, its taxonomic position is discussed. planulatis, et subcanaliculatis, lineis longitudinalibus transversisque, elevatis, aequidis-tantibus grosse clathratis, et in angulis sectionum subtuberculatis; apertura suborbiculari, labro subincrassato ”. conservation, was also examined uncoated under a LMU Tescan Vega Scanning Electron Microscope in Low Vacuum modality, to investigate its micro-morphology.

Lampyridae commonly known as fireflies, glow worms, or lightning bugs are a very diverse taxon that is known to be distributed globally. They have the ability to emit light through bioluminescence and have attracted public interest because of this. Though bioluminescence in insects is not restricted to this group, the family of fireflies (Lampyridae) contains more bioluminescent species compared to other families. This diverse and easily accessible group is well suited for studies focusing on the function and evolution of bioluminescence. Lampyrids are beneficial to ecosystems around the world and are often keystone species and serving as bioindicator in their habitat. They also play a role in medical and evolutionary science as im-portant study organisms in biotechnology, behavioral ecology, evolution of communication systems, responses to climate change, and conservation biology. This paper presents the ecology and diversity of Lampyridae as well as the state of knowledge globally and in the Philippines. This paper also presents some priority area for future research and conservation. ABSTRACT

Capparis spinosa L., family Capparidaceae, is a spontaneous plant of great economic, medicinal and ecological importance. This study focused on the estimation of morphological variability of three populations of the spiny caper from western Algeria by measuring morphological traits of leaves, fruits and seeds. Variance analysis showed that there were significant (P<0.05) difference (number of seeds per fruit) to highly significant (P<0.001) difference (the other morphological traits) between the three spontaneous caper natural populations with coefficients of variation ranging from 6.39% to 24.11%. There were no interpopulation differences for fruit width (P>0.05). The populations of Taghit (Bechar) and Sidi Belattar (Mostaganem) showed the best morphological traits. The population from Taghit had the best means for leaf length (35.62±3.47 mm), fruit width (35.62±3.47 mm), fruit weight (11.06±2.74 g), peduncle length (79.55±12.26 mm) and number of seeds per fruit (157±40.20). The population from Sidi Belattar was characterized by the highest leaf widths (39.24±3.89 mm), petiole lengths (11.309±2.02 mm), fruit lengths (42.433±4.15 mm), seed lengths (3.46±0.20 mm) and thousand seed weights (12.15±1.75 g). While the population from Mghila (Tiaret) had the lowest means for most morphological traits. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed a geographical separation between the studied populations with a polymorphism of 83.31%. The hierarchical classification using Ward’s distance classified the populations into two clusters related to climatic and edaphic gradients.

The effects of harmful mixtures on living organisms are of greater importance due to exposure of these complex mixtures of contaminants in the environment. As nanoparticles (NPs) released can potentially interact with many pollutants, and even other NPs in this study, adult Cornu aspersum (Müller, 1774) (Gastropoda Helicidae) were used to estimate a mixture effect of two NPs “Fe2O3 and ZnO” on the exchange of metabolites (carbohy-drates, lipids, and proteins), and some oxidative stress biomarkers: Glutathione (GSH), Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST), Catalase (Cat), and by performing hepatopancreas histological sections of this gastropod after four weeks of treatment. During this period, snails have ingested wheat flour containing the powder of this mixture at doses of 0, 1, 2, and 3 mg/g of wheat flour. The biochemical assays of metabolites reveal disturbances in metabolism by increasing the protein content and decreasing lipid and carbohydrate levels. The decrease of GSH level, GST activity, and Cat activity proves that failure of the detoxification system triggers oxidative stress. The histological study confirms the biochemical results by the tissue lesions, which are very serious, and in a surprisingly dependent dose manner with inflammations, necrosis, hypertrophies, degeneration of the connective tissue, and tubular membranes.
