Two new species of the diatom genusChaetoceros (Bacillariophyta)

Two new planktonic diatom species of the genusChaetoceros are described herein:Ch. octagonus andCh. rectus, from material of Baja California coasts and the Gulf of California, respectively;Ch. rectus was also found in a sample from Australian waters.Ch. octagonus is a robust species, with a characteristic pyramidal valve shape, heavily silicified valves and setae, and one central rimoportula on every valve in the chain; it is compared with related species, which show a similar morphology, especially by electron microscopy. It belongs into subg.Chaetoceros, sect.Borealia. Ch. rectus is placed in subg.Hyalochaete, and provisionally within sect.Anastomosantia. Its major characters are: chains, cells, and setae are delicate and fragile, cells are joined in the chain by a bridge which connects sibling intercalary setae, valves and setae are weakly silicified, and one rimoportula is present on terminal valves only. Comparison is made with another species of the same section.Ch. rectus shows a different manner of chain-forming within the genus than previously described in the literature.     

A new gypsophilous species of Chaenorhinum (Antirrhinaceae) from the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula

A new strict gypsophilous species of Chaenorhinum, Ch. gamezii, is described. It is an annual to perennial species found in extremely arid locations upon Triassic gypsic habitats in the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula. This species has an eglandular heterotrichous indumentum, which is related to Ch. segoviense and Ch. flexuosum. However, Ch. gamezii has a characteristic combination of vegetative and micromorphological features (trichomes and ornamentation of the seeds) that are not present in any other taxon of the genus. Herein, the affinities and differences with related species are studied and discussed. For its differentiation, an original key is presented with comparative figures of indumentum and seeds, and a complete iconography. Knowledge of the species ecology, biogeography, demography and threats is also provided, and according to that, Ch. gamezii should be considered as a critically threatened species (critically endangered, according to IUCN criteria). Future conservation proposals are discussed.

Contribution to the knowledge of the leaf-beetle fauna (Coleoptera,Chrysomelidae) of Eastern Kazakhstan

Chrysolina undulata asperata Lopatin is promoted to the species Chrysolina asperata Lop., stat. n., and is redescribed. A new species, Chrysolina tatianae Mikhailov sp. n. closely related to Ch. ordinata Gebl., is described from the Narymo-Bukhtarminskaya Depression, based on the adults and 2nd-instar larva. New data on the ecology and distribution of Chrysolina kabaki Lop., Ch. katonica Lop., and Ch. oirota Lop. are given.     

One new and one little known species of Chrysidid wasps of the genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chrysis</Emphasis> (Hymenoptera,Chrysididae) from the northern Caucasus

A new species, Chrysis vicana sp. n., and the previously unknown male of Ch. neobule are described. The basic morphological differences between the new species and the closely related Chrysis neobule Sem. are given. Chrysis vicana differs from Ch. neobule in the presence of an intense blue sheen on the tegulae and the 1st antennal segment, in the clearly pronounced and short frontal carina, in the coloration of abdominal sternite II, in the brown tarsi, almost black venation, and closed radial vein of the wings. Chrysis vicana is recorded on clay and sandy slopes, and Ch. neobule, on clay and sandy slopes and in dead woods in the middle part of the Kuma River basin (Stavropol Territory).

The affinities and differential characters of each are pointed out, and all but var.latifolia are illustrated.     

Lipiniella arenicola (Chironomidae) compared withChironomus muratensis andCh. nudiventris: Distribution patterns related to depth and sediment characteristics,diet, and behavioural response to reduced oxygen concentrations

Density patterns ofLipiniella arenicola andChironomus muratensis were studied in Lake Wolderwijd (The Netherlands) using geostatistics, and compared with patterns of depth and silt contents of the sediment.L. arenicola was restricted to shallow (depth <1 m), sandy silt (silt content <5%), wind-exposed sediments.Ch. muratensis occurred all over the lake, but the highest densities were found in the sheltered silty North-West corner. Gut analyses of IV-instar larvae from the Ventjagers flats (Haringvliet, Lower Rhine-Meuse) showed thatL. arenicola fed by selectively grazing on benthic algae,Ch. muratensis by filtering and non-selective grazing, andCh. nudiventris by non-selective grazing. In the laboratory, behavioural responses to reduced oxygen concentrations were tested with the impedance conversion technique.L. arenicola was more sensitive to low oxygen concentrations (<3 mg l^–1) than bothChironomus species. It is argued that the differences in resistance to hypoxia and feeding behaviour are in accordance with the differences in distribution patterns. The restriction ofL. arenicola to the pure sand habitats is not attributable to an especially high sensitivity to low dissolved oxygen concentrations alone. Several behavioural adaptations enableL. arenicola larvae to live in the shallow, wind-exposed pure-sand habitats: the ability to select food items, tube strength, and site selection of ovipositing females or planktonic larvae.
