A new species, Macrotarrhus (Alexiola) fomichevi Legalov, sp. nov. from Arshantyn-Nuruu Ridge, Dzhungarian Gobi, Khovd Province (Mongolia) is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to M. (A.). hamianus (Suvorov, 1912) from China and differs in the narrower elytra, a pronotum with the greatest width in front of the middle and a sharply narrowed and elongated aedeagus at the apex. A list of species of the genus Macrotarrhus is compiled. A distribution map for this genus is given.

The occurrence of Black Tinder Fungus Beetle Bolitophagus reticulatus (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), a saproxylic beetle of primordial and old-growth forests in the Palearctic region, is confirmed for Montenegro. The species has a fragmented distribution in the Alpine region and is not included in the IUCN red list for saproxylic beetles. B. sulcatus was found in the Biogradska Gora National Park, in the north-western part of the Bjelasica mountain range in the Dinaric Alps (Montenegro), in October 2022 while surveying the beetle fauna in an old-growth beech forest at about 1,000 m elevation.

Coal mining has a strong negative impact on the environment. It transforms natural landscapes into technogenic ones with high rock embankments and deep depressions, i.e., dumps and quarries. Such areas are good model sites for studying primary successions. Using the example of the Krasnobrodsky coal mine, this paper investigates the ecological and faunal structure of the ground beetle communities which inhabit the rock dumps of various ages in the forest-steppe zone in the south of Western Siberia. A total of 125 ground beetle species from 38 genera were collected. It was also established that fresh dumps were quickly populated by ground beetles. The basis of the taxocene is formed by species with high ecological plasticity, confined to anthropogenic biotopes. According to the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), ground beetle communities in dumps differ from native reference ecosystems. The Jaccard similarity index between 2- and 7-year-old dumps was 54%, while for the control zone and the site at the foot of the 25-year-old dump, this value was 68%. During 35 years of succession, the species composition of carabidocenoses varied, while the species abundance and dynamic density decreased (r = -0.78, p < 0.001). A wide range of life forms has been established for ground beetles. This indicates the active development of ecological niches, formed in technogenically transformed territories. This study demonstrates that the time interval of 35 years used for consideration is insufficient for recovering ground beetle communities to a climax state, typical to the ecosystems of a corresponding forest-steppe zone.
煤矿开采对环境有很强的负面影响。它将自然景观转化为具有高岩石堤防和深洼地(即垃圾场和采石场)的技术景观。这些地区是研究原始演替的良好样板。本文以Krasnobrodsky煤矿为例,研究了西西伯利亚南部森林草原带不同年代岩石堆中地面甲虫群落的生态和区系结构。共收集到地面甲虫38属125种。人们还确定,新的垃圾场很快就会被地面甲虫占据。分类新世的基础是由高度生态可塑性的物种构成的,局限于人为的生物群落。主成分分析(PCA)表明,垃圾场的地面甲虫群落与本地参考生态系统存在差异。2年和7年垃圾场的Jaccard相似指数为54%,而控制区和25年垃圾场脚下的站点的Jaccard相似指数为68%。在35年演替过程中,柠条科植物的物种组成发生变化,物种丰度和动态密度呈下降趋势(r = -0.78, p <0.001)。已经确定了各种各样的地面甲虫的生命形式。这表明在技术转化的领土上形成的生态位的积极发展。研究表明,考虑35年的时间间隔不足以使地面甲虫群落恢复到相应的森林草原生态系统的典型顶极状态。

New records of water mites collected in 2022 and 2023 from northeastern Iran and southwestern Turkiye, are presented. DNA barcodes of 58 specimens, morphologically assigned to 13 species were newly generated. An integrative approach that combines morphology and DNA barcodes revealed three new species for water mite fauna of Türkiye, i.e. Lebertia variolata Gerecke, 2009, Torrenticola baueri Bader & Sepasgozarian, 1987 and Atractides zagrosensis Pešić, Saboori & Asadi, 2016, significantly widening their so far known area of distribution. Torrenticola ramini Bader, 1988, is reported for the first time since its original description, and T. eseni sp. nov. is described as new to science.
