The location, shape and area of dark spots on the belly, throat and sides of the body of three closely related species of smooth newts (Lissotriton kosswigi, L. schmidtleri and L. vulgaris) were analysed. Differences were found between species and sexes in the location and shape of dark spots on the belly, throat and lateral surfaces of the body. Discriminant analysis of these spot characteristics allows to identificate of males of all three species with a high degree of confidence (85–91%). In females, only L. vulgaris was correctly distinguished from the other two species (accuracy 81–94%). Anatolian and Thracian populations of L. schmidtleri have very similar patterns of dark spots, which confirm their conspecificity. The differences in the location and size of dark spots make possible successful identification of the species during field research and study of museum specimens. The developed method could be useful for comparative studies of other animal species which have spotted camouflage or aposematic colouration.

A brief well-illustrated review of the tenebrionid genus Nalassus Mulsant, 1854 from the Greater Caucasus is presented. A new species, N. (Caucasonotus) negrobovi Nabozhenko, sp. n. is described from the alpine zone of Abkhazia. This species is similar to N. dombaicus (Nabozhenko, 2000), N. adriani (Reitter, 1922) and N. alanicus (Nabozhenko, 2000), but differs in the structure of eyes, antennae, pronotum and elytral interstriae. The following new synonyms are proposed after examination of a series of beetles and type specimens: Nalassus dissonus Nabozhenko, 2001 = Nalassus lutshniki Nabozhenko, 2001, syn. n.; Nalassus colchicus madlenae Nabozhenko, 2013 = Nalassus kartvelius Nabozhenko, 2013, syn. n.; Helops cambyses Seidlitz, 1895 = Cylindronotus ahngeri Medvedev, 1998, syn. n. Keys to species from the Greater Caucasus on males and females are given. New data on bionomics, landscape and habitat distribution and trophic relations are given. Interesting patterns are observed at the level of ecological groups: forest species feed mainly on corticolous foliose lichens from the family Physciaceae Zahlbr., while alpine Nalassus use saxicolous foliose lichens from the family Parmeliaceae Zenker; steppe species feed on terricolous foliose lichens at least from the family Cladoniaceae Zenker.

In this paper, two new species of Eriborus Förster, 1869 (Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae) are described from the Afrotropical region: Eriborus elgonensis sp. n. from Kenya and Eriborus rubens sp. n. from South Africa. Eriborus pallipes (Brullé, 1846), a species known from Mauritius and Réunion, is reported from continental Africa (South Africa) for the first time, and Eriborus regulator (Seyrig, 1935), a species known only from Kenya, is firstly reported from Ethiopia. Additionally, further South African distributional data on Eriborus pomonellae (Cameron, 1906) are also given.

This paper gives the first description of the male drumming call of Besdolus ventralis. Based on the examination of a single male specimen of this rare stonefly species its male call is composed of 3 beat groups, each containing 3-6 beats repeated at decreasing interbeat intervals. Beat groups are separated by 184-212 ms intergroup intervals. Call duration varied between 496-549 ms at ambient air temperature 18.7-20.4 degrees of Celsius. These results show that the male call of B. ventralis is clearly different from the diphasic call of B. ravizzarum, and is rather similar to that of B. bicolor, which is the closest relative of B. ventralis regarding mitocondrial DNA sequences. The main difference between the male calls of the two species seems to be that B. ventralis produces 3-6 beats per group, while B. bicolor is reported to produce only 2 (rarely 3) beats per beat-group.

As an opportunistic predator, the Common Barn-owl (Tyto alba) proved to be an appropriate model organism to survey the composition of small mammal assemblages. This study analysed barn owls’ pellet samples from 14 localities containing 34 animal taxa and 4,088 prey items in two years (2015–2016). Two groups of samples (7–7 localities) were separated based on the dominance of semi-natural habitats and agricultural lands. Rarefaction analysis proved that the species richness and diversity of barn owls’ diet were significantly higher in semi-natural landscapes. The multiple regression analysis between PCA scores showed that in the agrarian landscape the abundance of generalist species was influenced by the proportion of forests, while the value of the trophic level index was determined by the size of arable fields. In the case of semi-natural landscapes, the abundance of the synantrop guild and generalist species, especially S. araneus and A. agrarius, was influenced by the proportion of urban areas, the number of habitats and the size of arable fields. The results of this study suggested that the small mammal consumption of the Common Barn-owl is significantly different in the two landscapes, which reflects the impact of habitat heterogeneity and agricultural activity on prey availability.

In this paper, we describe a new tardigrade species, Richtersius tertius sp. n., from Greece. The description is based on morphological and morphometric analysis using light and scanning electron microscopy as well as genetic analysis based on four molecular markers (DNA sequences of three nuclear, i.e., 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, ITS-2 and one mitochondrial COI fragment). Morphological and morphometric differences, together with genetic comparisons, provide independent verifications of Richtersius tertius sp. n. as a species new to science. Phenotypically, the new taxon differs from Richtersius coronifer (Richters, 1903) and Richtersius ziemowiti Kayastha, Berdi, Miaduchowska, Gawlak, Łukasiewicz, Gołdyn, Jędrzejewski et Kaczmarek, 2020 mainly by the morphology and size of cuticular pores, present only in hatchlings (first instars), as well as some morphometric characters. The results presented herein contribute further to the recognition of the morphological variability and biodiversity within Richtersius, with Richtersius tertius sp. n. being the third species formally described within the genus.
在本文中，我们描述了一种来自希腊的新缓步动物，Richtersius tertius sp.n。该描述基于使用光和扫描电子显微镜的形态学和形态计量学分析，以及基于四个分子标记（三个核的DNA序列，即18S rRNA、28S rNA、ITS-2和一个线粒体COI片段）的遗传分析。形态学和形态计量学的差异，加上遗传比较，为tertius sp.n作为一个新的科学物种提供了独立的验证。从表型上看，新分类单元与柯氏Richtersius coronifer（Richters，1903）和Kayastha、Berdi、Miaduchowska、Gawlak、Łukasiewicz、Gołdyn、JÉdrzejewski et Kaczmarek，2020的不同之处主要在于角质孔的形态和大小，这些角质孔仅存在于孵化（一龄）中，以及一些形态计量特征。本文提供的结果进一步有助于识别金龟子属的形态变异性和生物多样性，金龟子是该属中第三个正式描述的物种。
