Gammaridea (Crustacea, Amphipoda) aus der Küstenregion von King George (Süd‐Shetland‐Inseln). Podoceridae
Authors: Rauschert Martin 
Published: July 2010

Gammaridea (Crustacea, Amphipoda) from the Coastal Area of King George Island (South Shetland Islands). PodoceridaeThe present study is based upon amphipod material collected during an investigation of the sublittoral of Fildes Peninsula (south‐western part of King George Island, South Shetland Islands). This research was part of the activities of GDR biologists participating in the 26th and 30th Soviet Antarctic Expeditions (SAE) in 1980/82 and 1984/86, respectively. In samples from five diving sites and in one sample taken up from the wrack‐bed, two representatives of the family Podoceridae have been found. – Podocerus capillimanus NICHOLLS, 1938 was detected in the sublittoral of the South Shetland Islands for the first time. A remarkable mass occurrence of this species is described. – With Dulichia antarctica sp.n., the occurrence of a species of Dulichia, a genus known as yet from the arctic boreal only is recorded for the southern hemisphere.
Impact of Males on the Numerical Response of Diaeretiella rapae (M'Intosh) (Hym., Aphidiidae), a Parasitoid of Lipaphis erysimi Kalt. (Hem., Aphididae)
Authors: Abidi Afroz Z. , Kumar Arvind , Tripathi C. P. M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe number of emerging offspring was affected by the density of the female parasitoid and the co‐presence of males along with the females. Parasitisation rates were evaluated in 5 × 1.7 cm petri dishes at parasitoid densities 1, 2, 4, and 8 females only and males mixed with same numbers of females. The mean number of parasitoid progeny with 1, 2, 4, and 8 female densities were 41.0, 48.6, 61.6, and 75.0 while with the introduction of equal number of males it decreased to 26.8, 37.0, 50.6, and 64.6, respectively. Two mechanisms apparently contributed to this effect: decreased offspring of the females and alteration of egg distribution pattern. The number of progeny produced per female parasitoid was inversely proportional to the parasitoid number which explicates the intraspecific competition amongst the parasitoid.
Kreuzungsexperimente zur Prüfung der Artgrenzen im Genus Lacerta sensu stricto
Authors: Rykena Silke 
Published: July 2010

Hybridization Experiments as Tests for Species Boundaries in the Genus Lacerta sensu strictoHybridization experiments between the five commonly recognized species L. agilis, L. viridis, L. schreiberi, L. strigata, L. trilineata reveal increased rates of malformation and reduced fertility up to sterility as postzygotic isolating mechanisms. Depending on the combination, 30% up to 100% of hybrid females are sterile while only two sterile males were observed among hundreds. In backcrosses and in the rare cases of F2 generations, a drastic decrease of reproductive success was observed, if fertile offspring occurred. Clear species boundaries between the five species are demonstrated, although different degrees of postzygotic isolation indicate different genetic distances between them. Results from crosses within the taxon L. viridis s. 1. justify the distinction of two polytypic semispecies, L. bilineata in the western part of the range and L. viridis in the eastern part.

Bemerkungen über cyrtodactyline Geckos aus Thailand nebst Beschreibungen von zwei neuen Arten (Reptilia: Gekkonidae)
Authors: Ulber Thomas 
Published: July 2010

AbstractNotes on Cyrtodactyline Gekkos from Thailand with Descriptions of Two New Species (Reptilia: Geckonidae)From a small collection of cyrtodactyline geckos made by J. NABHITABHATA in various parts of Thailand, four species are morphologically described. Two of them turned out to be new and are consequently described as Cyrtodactylus interdigitalis sp. nov. and Cyrtodactylus jarujini sp. nov. Whereas in the former it is very obvious that the new species is cladistically related to C. brevipalmatus (SMITH) and C. elok DRING by sharing the feature of interdigital membranes, the relationships of the latter are not quite clear. From its habitus and colouration this new species is similar to C. khasiensis (JERDON) and possibly C. medogensis (ZHAO & LI), but differs considerably from these by having femoral pores. Furthermore, a sample of the poorly known C. oldhami (THEOBALD) with an unusual colour pattern and a single female specimen of C. brevipalmatus (SMITH) are described. For each species ecological data are supplied additionally.
Raubmilben der Hypoaspididae, Laelapidae und Phytoseiidae auf dem Galapagos‐Archipel (Acarina, Parasitiformes)
Authors: Karg Wolfgang 
Published: July 2010

AbstractPredatory Mites of the Hypoaspididae, Laelapidae and Phytoseiidae in the Galapagos Archipelago (Acarina, Parasitiformes)For the first time the predatory mites (cohors Gamasina) of the Galapagos islands are investigated. The presented publication, concerning 3 families, is a first contribution of a series of investigations. The 3 families are only represented by 5 genera. Comparing the mouthparts of the Hypoaspididae it becomes clear that in Galapagos predatory mites of few genera have to control very different prey. 19 out of 21 ascertained species are novae species. They are described and documented by differential diagnoses and figures.
Comparative Morphology of the Three Species of Lamproglena (Copepoda, Cyclopoida, Lernaeidae) Described by von Nordmann, Based on Re‐Examination of the Types
Authors: Piasecki Wojciech 
Published: July 2010

AbstractExamination of the type specimens of the three Lamproglena species described by von NORDMANN (1832) supplemented new details on L. pulchella, a common parasite of fresh‐water fishes, and confirmed the validity of subsequent identifications and descriptions of L. hemprichii. Morphological features of L. lichiae, described and illustrated for the first time in the present paper, suggest that it is a valid species, though it has never been found since its discovery.

Authors: Emmrich Dietmar 
Published: July 2010

AbstractEleven amphibian and eight saurian species have been observed and collected during several expeditions between 1988–1990 to the rain forest area of the Nguru mountains. Most of them are new records for this area. The species are briefly described and ecological data are provided.Two topotypic Bradypodion f. fischeri specimens are now available for comparison, the first specimens from the type locality for more than one hundred years.The close relationship of the herpetofauna of the Ngurus to the Uluguru and Usambara mountains is proven. Four species (Agama montana, Afrocaecilia uluguruensis, Chamaeleo deremensis, Scelotes uluguruensis) are no longer restricted to the Uluguru or/and Usambara mountains respectively.Three snake species are also recorded from the area.

AbstractA redescription of the amphipod Iphimediella serrata (Schellenberg, 1926) is presented. It can easily be identified by the following characters: — paired dorsal, serrate processes on pereonite 6–7 and pleonite 1–2, — dostal carina on pleonite 3, — ventral margin of coxal plates 1–4 serrate, — pereopod 5–7 basis distal and posterior margin serrate; — outer plate of maxilla 2 with long setae. Iphimediella serrata and Iphimediella octodentata (Nicholls, 1938) are synonymous.
