Water mites of the genus Mideopsis are often a very abundant member of running and standing water communities whose taxonomy has been based almost exclusively on traditional morphological studies. In this study, we present a species-level phylogeny of the genus in Europe using 71 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcodes available in the BOLD database. In addition to morphological identification, we applied two different molecular taxon delimitation approaches (Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning - ASAP and multi-rate Poisson tree processes). The ASAP molecular delimitation revealed the presence of five molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU), i.e., M. crassipes Soar, 1904, M. milankovici Pešić & Smit, 2020, M. roztoczensis Biesiadka & Kowalik, 1979 and two distinct M. orbicularis MOTUs, both widely distributed and sympatric in Central and Northern Europe. Morphological analysis revealed that specimens of Clade 1 match the description given by Biesiadka & Kowalik (1979) for Mideopsis orbicularis. We highlight the need for a thorough revision of the genus Mideopsis in Europe by integrating morphological and molecular data.

Mesosmicrips sunae Lyubarsky et Perkovsky sp.nov. is herein described from ca. 99 Ma mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar (Kachin State). It is the second species of Mesosmicrips described from Kachin amber. The new species differs from the type species of the genus and the hitherto only known congener by the very slightly elongate pronotum which is 1.1 times as long as wide, the absence of the short grooves on posterior fourth of pronotum, the obtuse posterolateral angles of pronotum, the protibiae parallel-sided in distal quarter, the length of the protibia being 5 times greater than width, and the longer elytra leaving only two apical visible tergites exposed. The tarsal formula (5-5-5) is characteristic for both Eocene and Cretaceous family members.

In May 2021, comprehensive studies were conducted in the southeastern part of the Volga River avandelta (marine part of the delta). The work aimed to compare and identify the possible interaction of hydrochemical conditions and the structure of the phytoplankton community. Based on field observations, instrument measurements, and statistical analysis, three algaecoenoses were obtained (rapids, periphyton-pelagic, and marine), 4 types of environmental conditions identified by abiotic factors (oxygen-deficient, rapids, creak, and marine), and 2 types of biotopic conditions identified according to production-destructive characteristics (river with a prevalence of production, marine - production shifted towards equilibrium). For the marine part, an discrete phytopelagic community was identified, represented by benthopelagic aggregates with a complex trophic structure based on ribbon-like colonies of araphid diatom (Staurosira spp. и Staurosirella spp.). It is shown that such a community structure may serve as an indicator of water masses with significant destructive processes. Thus, an abiotic oxygen-deficient biotope located in the river part of the study area was characterized by a similar set of species. Both water areas were characterized by high AOU values, an increase in the contribution of mineral phosphorus to the Redfield ratio and a lack of nitrogen. At the same time, the water areas with a pronounced predominance of production processes over destructive ones were characterized by an abundance of centric diatoms. Thus, the selected groups of species can serve as indicators concerning certain biotopic conditions (in terms of production/destruction of organic matter).

We present an overview of the state of knowledge on the Chilopoda of the Hyrcanian ecoregion based on the critical revision of all published records and new data. The fauna under consideration consists of at least 43 species from 16 genera, eight families, and four orders. Lithobius antipai Matic, 1969 is new to the centipede fauna of the Hyrcanian ecoregion. Genus Harpolithobius Verhoeff, 1904, H. anodus (Latzel, 1880), and Lithobius piceus L. Koch, 1862 are new to the fauna of Iran, while L. variegatus (Leach 1814) was excluded from the fauna of this country.

Eremochorus vladae Legalov et Kozlov, sp. nov. is similar to E. voruchensis Legalov, 2012 from Tajikistan but differs in a scape not reaching the eye, clearly rounded sides of the pronotum, narrower elytra in males, and a wider and less pointed apex of the aedeagus. Macrotarrhus georgyvoronovi Legalov et Kozlov, sp. nov. is similar to M. sugatensis Zaslavskij, 1964 from Kazakhstan and differs in the presence of stripes of light scales on the pronotum and elytra, weakly rounded sides of the pronotum, and a long basal sclerite.
