Type species: Xistra gogorzae Bolívar 1887, by subsequent designation (Kirby 1910).
Description and differential diagnosis. Xistra spp. have the following characteristics: Size small, slender; body surface smooth. Head and eyes distinctly exserted above pronotal surface; vertex narrow, its width equal to or narrower than width of compound eye; vertex concave, its lateral margin exerted above the upper margin of eyes, seen from front, appearing as a “V”-shaped concavity or a “U”-shaped concavity between the eyes. Antennae filiform, antennal grooves inserted between or below inferior margins of compound eyes. Pronotum with anterior margin straight; humeral angles obtuse; hind process of pronotum long, cone-shaped. Lateral lobes of pronotum turned outwards, posterior margins with ventral sinus and tegminal (upper) sinus, apex of hind angle truncate. Visible part of tegmina oval; hindwings developed. Upper and lower margins of fore femora and middle femora entire, margins finely serrated; first segment of posterior tarsi equal to or slightly longer than third one.
Xistra is closely related to Xistrella Bolívar, Mazarredia Bolívar and Systolederus Bolívar, but differs from the three latter genera by the vertex, seen from front, appearing as an acute triangular excision between the eyes.
Composition and distribution: Altogether, 24 species are now assigned to the genus Xistra and found in China, Philippines, Cambodia and Nepal (table1).

Material examined. 1 ♀, 6.vii.2018, Emam (Golestan) (Fig. 1 B).
Previous records in Iran. Becker & Stein (1913): Kuch-i-Tuftan (Sistan and Balochistan), Kjaris-i-Nan (Chorassan), Dech-i-Pabid (Kerman); Mohammadi & Khaghaninia (2015): Varzaqan region (East Azerbaijan); Khaghaninia & Kazerani (2016): Mekidi valley (East Azerbayjan).
Taxonomic note. This species is known to be very variable, showing differences in size and colour (Rozkošný 1982). Contrary to Rozkošný’s remarks, according to which the scutellum is yellow and shows a large semi-circular basal spot, the scutellum of the female from Emam is completely black and only the tips of the spines are yellow coloured. Furthermore, the size of the female is 13 millimetres and exceeds the maximum size of the species given by Rozkošný (1982) by one millimetre.

description: Genus Zippelia gen. nov.
Type species. Zippelia engeli gen. et sp. nov.
Species included. Type species only.
Etymology. Genus name is derived from the name of the first author of the original larval description.
Diagnosis. Larva (probably an early one because of small size). Body segments soft, smooth, naked, with only head capsule and ninth and particularly tenth abdominal terga sclerotised. Head position oblique (semiprognathous). Stemma small, touching antennal foramen dorsally. Antenna setiform, 7-segmented, touching mandibular base or nearly so. Mandibles with at least three teeth. Maxillary and labial palps 4- and 3-segmented, respectively, with large palpigers. 9 spiracles visible (on pronotum and abdominal segments 1–8). Legs setiform, 6-segmented, with terminal segment (pretarsus) long but apparently soft, not claw-like.Abdominal terga with three (basal ones) through no (8 th to 10 th) transverse folds. Separated lateral lobes bearing spiracles and so nonhomologous to those in other symphytan larvae; delimited area below them apparently participating in incipient prolegs distinct at least in segments 5–8 (basal segments are not visible from below). Sternal area (between incipient prolegs) variable in having two, one or no transverse folds. Tergum 9 distinctly sclerotised, convex, tergum 10 strongly sclerotised, concave, pentagonal, with two lateral prongs and long posteromedial tooth, recalling incipient concavity of terga 9–10 in larval Blasticotomidae. Sternum 10 with elongate subanal lobe bearing lateroapically two-segmented appendages long enough to be visible dorsally.

Diagnosis. As for the genus.
Description (Zippel et al., 2022: figs. 2, 3). Early larva. Body surface finely reticulate except that head capsule apparently smooth; no vestiture discernible except for strong setae on basal segments of maxillary palp mentioned by Zippel et al. (2022). Body length 3.9 mm. Head capsule 0.40 mm long, 0.25 mm high, antenna 0.28 mm, with segments growing gradually narrower and longer toward apex, with scape and pedicel transverse, somewhat elongate dorsally, and apical segment almost needle-like. Clypeus apparently short, with transverse impression. Mandibles short, with teeth apparently short and of similar length. Maxillary and labial palps both some 1.3 mm long (palpiger included), rather thick, conical. Mid leg 0.38 mm long (coxa to pretarsus lengths in mm respectively 0.085, 0.06, 0.055, 0.055, 0.055, 0.055), with three apical segments almost cylindrical. Abdominal tergum 10 with lateral teeth slightly longer than wide, rounded apically, medial tooth slightly bent upward, with wider base and narrow main part, 0.23 mm long, narrowly rounded apically, much longer than main part of tergum (visible length 0.14 mm). Subanal lobe 1.25× as long as wide basally, tapering toward truncated apex, with apicolateral processes as long as lobe apex wide, with two segments of equal length, much longer than wide, basal one subcylindrical, apical one conical.

Central Balkan Mts. (Valchovski 2017).
Together with the new findings, the number of earthworm species of Bulgaria (Lumbricidae, Criodrilidae) is raised to 50. This number is low compared to neighbouring countries (comp. Stojanović et al., this volume). It means that the earthworm biodiversity of Bulgaria is still incompletely known, despite the efforts of the recent investigations. Seventeen species taxa (34%) belong to peregrines. Endemic species take part with 13 taxa = 26% (Balkan and Larger endemics 9 taxa = 18%, Bulgarian endemics 4 taxa = 8%).

Notes. Xistra klinnema is not a Xistra species because posterior angles of lateral lobes turned downwards, apex of posterior angles obtuse rounded. It belongs to Bannatettix Zheng, 1993. We have examined the type specimens of Bannatettix ruiliensis and Xistra klinnema, and found that structures, type locality and coloration of the body are the same in both taxa. Therefore, Xistra klinnema is here considered a synonym of of Bannatettix ruiliensis.

Figs 8, 9
Description
The body size is about 50–120 × 35–100 µm, with an average of 90 × 60 µm. The shape is broadly elliptical to elliptical with both ends rounded. The cell is distinctly dorsoventrally flattened (Figs 8A, E–I, 9A–B, D).
The nuclear apparatus consists of a single macronucleus and a single micronucleus. The macronucleus begins about 11 µm away from the anterior body end and extends through the cell’s midline. The size of macronucleus varies from about 30–95 × 5–15 µm, with an average of 72 × 9 µm. The macronuclear surface is smooth to slightly irregular. In dying cells, the macronucleus diminishes in size leaving behind a conspicuous hyaline envelope. The macronucleus sometimes also fragments within the envelope in postmortem cells. The micronucleus is situated conspicuously far away from the macronucleus, namely, near the middle of the left body margin and always opposite to the row of contractile vacuoles. The micronucleus is globular and approximately 5 µm in diameter (Figs 8A, D–I, 9A–D).
There is only a single row of contractile vacuoles extending along the right cell margin. The number of vacuoles is three or four and their size ranges from 4 to 11 µm in diastole. A contractile vacuole originates by fusion of three to five vesicules (Figs 8A, E–F, H–I, 9A–B, D). The cytoplasm is colorless and contains innumerable granules being about 1.5 µm across. The cortex is semi-rigid and without specific granules. Swims moderately fast by rotation about the main body axis.
The somatic ciliature is holotrichous and composed of meridionally extending kineties over both cell sides. The number of ventral kineties varies from 30 to 50, averaging at 42. The number of dorsal kineties almost matches the number on the ventral side (30–51, on average 43). Somatic kineties are composed of very densely arranged basal bodies, i.e., intrakinetal distance is only 1.3 µm (Figs 8A, 9B). There is an apical and a terminal suture at the anterior and the posterior pole where individual somatic kineties begin and terminate, respectively (Figs 8 B–C, 9E).
Occurrence
Anoplophrya lumbrici was recorded only in the anecic L. terrestris at three localities: gardens at the Šúrska ulica street in Rendez and at the Jakubská ulica street in Rača as well as in floodplain soils in a riparian, willow-poplar forest near the Karlova Ves branch of the Danube River (Table 2). Ciliates were typically isolated from the middle part of the gastrointestinal tract, although very rarely some specimens were recorded also below this gut region.

description: Bangana Hamilton, 1822
Type species: Cyprinus dero Hamilton, 1822; gender feminine.
Species of Bangana s.s. are distinguished from other Bangana s.l. by: postlabial groove interrupted medially (Fig. 2); presence of an ethmoidal furrow (a furrow connecting outer extremities of postlabial groove, over the snout, in front of the ethmoid; Zhang & Chen, 2006: 44); mouth semicircular, inferior, snout blunt and slightly projecting; interior surface of lateral portion of upper lip smooth; dorsal fin falcate; 40–43 lateral line scales; 5–9½ scale rows between lateral line and origin of dorsal fin; presence of a supracleithral blotch (diamond-shaped blotch above pectoral fin, at level of lateral line).
The genus is known only from South Asia, from the Salween drainage westwards to the endorheic drainages of southeastern Iran. Species included in Bangana inYang et al.'s analysis are: B. dero, B. bata (Hamilton, 1822) and B. boggut (Sykes, 1839), assuming the samples of the last two species are correctly identified. ' Bangana' bata and 'B.' boggut have a distinctive appearance and are usually placed in Labeo (e.g. Jayaram & Dhas, 2000, Kottelat, 2013). A review of the literature suggests that the following species also belong in Bangana: B. almorae (Chaudhuri, 1912), B. devdevi (Hora, 1936), B. diplostomus (Heckel, 1838) and B. gedrosicus (Zugmayer, 1912). According to Yang et al.'s results, Nukta (with N. nukta and a sample of unclear identity) constitutes a sister lineage to Bangana; it could be considered either as a distinct genus or as a subgenus or a synonym of Bangana. [Contrary to the statement of Yang et al. (2012: 370) and most nomenclators and synonymies, Nukta Hora, 1942 (type species: Cyprinus nukta Sykes, 1839) is known not to be related to Schismatorhynchos Bleeker, 1855 since at least Reid (1985: 287; included in Tylognathus = Bangana), Kottelat (1989: 39; in Labeo s.l.), Siebert & Tjakrawidjaja (1998: 100); superficially, Schismatorhynchos seems to have similarities with Lobocheilos Bleeker, 1854.]
Tylognathus Heckel, 1843 (type species: Varicorhinus diplostomus Heckel, 1838) is a junior synonym of Bangana. Rohitodes Bleeker, 1860 (type species: Labeo cephalus Valenciennes, in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1842) is possibly a synonym, but this must be confirmed after clarifying the identity of the type species, whose type series is reportedly lost (potentially a senior synonym of B. devdevi).

(Figs. 9–12)
Description. Body length ca. 4.7 mm, width ca. 1.55 mm; head dimensions not measurable; pronotum length 1.0 mm, maximum width (at posterolateral angles) 1.55 mm; elytra length 3.3 mm (based on complete right elytron visible in counterpart), width ca. 0.85 mm; abdomen length 1.7 mm, maximum width 1.55 mm. Head indistinct, only dorsal outline visible, approximately 0.4 times as broad as pronotum at posterolateral angles. Pronotum slightly evenly convex, surface apparently smooth. Elytra flat, intervals not raised. Metaventrite smooth, apparently finely shagreened. Femora and tibiae with smooth surfaces. Abdominal ventrites also smooth, apparently glabrous. Other characters as in generic description.
Material examined (1 specimen). Holotype: part (AM F. 140886; Figs. 9, 11) largely a three-dimensional impression of ventral body surface but with white cuticular remains of head, prothorax, mesothoracic sclerites and hindlegs and with black remains of displaced right elytron; counterpart (AM F. 140887; Fig. 10) the threedimensional white remains of ventral body parts except head, prothorax and hindlegs, and impression of displaced right elytron with black cuticular remains; Talbragar Fish Bed (Upper Jurassic: Kimmeridgian-Tithonian, 151 ±4 Ma), Gulgong, N.S.W., Australia, January 2013, coll. R. G. Beattie. Deposited in the Australian Museum, Sydney.
Name derivation. The specific name is a Latinised adjective derived from the name of the Jurassic period and stratigraphic system, which in turn are named after the Jura Mountains in Western Europe.
Remarks. The single specimen is only moderately compressed, preserving largely three-dimensional proportions. The part preserves the cuticular remains of the head, prothorax, right elytron and left middle and hindlegs and an imprint of the meso- and metathorax and abdomen, whereas the counterpart contains the cuticula of the meso- and metaventrites and the abdominal ventrites. The undersides of head and prothorax remain embedded in the rock beneath the part. The right elytron is dislodged and placed at an angle to the body, and the left elytron is missing. The apparent click apparatus between prosternum and mesoventrite is rather well preserved, as is the shape of the metacoxae (complete with coxal plate) and the left hindleg.

Figs 10, 11 A–C
Description
The body size is about 100–145 × 60–80 µm. The body shape is broadly elliptical to elliptical with both ends rounded. The cell is distinctly dorsoventrally flattened (Figs 10A, D–F, 11A–B).
The nuclear apparatus is composed of a single macronucleus and a single micronucleus.The macronucleus begins about 6 µm away from the anterior body end extends through the cell’s midline into the posterior body region. The length of macronucleus varies from 80 to 110 µm and its width ranges from 9 to 18 µm. The macronuclear surface is smooth. The macronucleus diminishes in size leaving behind a conspicuous hyaline envelope in dying cells. The micronucleus is situated conspicuously far away from the macronucleus, namely, near the middle of the left body margin and opposite to the row of contractile vacuoles. The micronucleus is globular and approximately 4 µm in diameter (Figs 10A, D–F, 11A–B).
There is a single row of contractile vacuoles arranged along the right cell margin. It is composed of three or four vacuoles being 5–9 µm across during diastole (Figs 10A, D–F, 11A–B). The cytoplasm is colorless and studded with granules measuring approximately 0.5–1.0 µm in diameter. The cortex is semi-rigid and without specific granules. Swims moderately fast by rotation about the main body axis.
Somatic ciliature is holotrichous and composed of kineties meridionally extending over both cell sides. There are on average 34 (24–45) kineties on each body side. Individual kineties are very narrowly arranged and the interkinetal distance ranges from about 0.6 to 2.0 µm. Likewise, basal bodies are very narrowly spaced within kineties and the intrakinetal distance is ca 1 µm. There is an apical and a terminal suture at each cell pole where individual somatic kineties commence and terminate, respectively (Figs 10 A–C, 11B–C).
Occurrence
Anoplophrya vulgaris was recorded in two species of epigeic earthworms, viz., in E. fetida and D. veneta. Ciliate 18S rRNA gene sequences originated from both hosts were identical. Host earthworms came from a compost heap in the Botanical Garden of Comenius University and at the Jakubská ulica street in Rača as well as from humous soil with a high content of decomposing plant material from a garden at the foothill of the Malé Karpaty Mts. (Table 2). Endosymbiotic ciliates typically occurred in the middle part of the gastrointestinal tract. There were usually 10 to 15 endosymbionts per host.
