description: The effect of heartwood extractives on natural weathering of 5 temperate (juniper, walnut, oak, pseudoacacia, and chestnut) and 9 tropical (wenge, teak, iroko, dahoma, moabi, okan, padauk, ipe, and tatajuba) wood species against abiotic degrading agents at two sites was investigated. Wood species were exposed to three-stage extraction, then extracted and un-extracted samples were exposed outdoors for 12 months in two above-ground test sites, coastal or terrestrial. Samples were evaluated regarding moisture content, color change, surface roughness, and surface chemistry (ATR-FTIR) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of exposure. Results indicate that roughness and color change increased as the exposure time increased. Among the temperate species, the least rough surfaces were found in juniper, while iroko, ipe, and wenge were for tropical species. The location did not statistically affect roughness. Temperate species generally showed rougher surfaces than tropical species. The remarkable color change occurred in the first 3 months in temperate wood species and between 3 and 6 months in extractive-rich tropical wood species. The highest color change was seen in samples extracted and exposed on the terrestrial test site, while the lowest was in un-extracted samples exposed on the coast. Padauk had the most color change, while moabi had the least. The surfaces of temperate species showed darkening while the surfaces of tropical species showed lightening during the weathering exposure. FTIR studies confirmed that the change in the surface chemistry of temperate species mostly occurs in the first month, while surface degradation of some tropical species can take up to 3 months.

description: The abundance and availability of wood waste in the Amazon region pose a great challenge in terms of their use, such as to generate clean and renewable energy. The use of blends of the most different species constitutes a challenge in view of the energetic characteristics that are unknown for the replacement of fossil fuels. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the energy potential of wood waste from Amazonian species (Dinizia excelsa and from Manilkara elata, commonly used as lumber) as a way to support the generation of clean and sustainable energy. The wood waste of two Amazonian species were collected during the mechanical processing of logs; the sawdust of Eucalyptus spp. was collected in a biomass company. The contents of total extractives, total lignin, ash, moisture, bulk density, calorific value and energy density were investigated in different blends of residual biomass. The Dinizia excelsa species stood out for presenting higher values of extractives, total lignin, calorific value and energy density. The waste of Amazonian species showed satisfactory characteristics for energy use, which encourages the use of this biomass from wood processing. In addition, forest biomass waste enable the production of various compacted solid fuels, such as pellets and briquettes. The use of waste from sustainable forest management is a promising source of bioenergy in the Amazon region. Biomass waste from the species Dinizia excelsa and Manilkara elata were investigated for their energy recovery. Dinizia excelsa and Manilkara elata species have higher energy potential than Eucalyptus sp.

description: The barks of two wood species, sugar maple (SM) and red oak (RO), were investigated to characterize their chemical composition and isolate the lignins they contain, representing relatively underexplored and underutilized polymers. Characterizing these two barks involved assessing extractive components, Klason and acid-soluble lignin, ash content, and sugars. It was observed that RO bark had a higher concentration of extractive substances and a lower Klason lignin content compared to SM bark. The Klason lignin content in the barks of the SM and RO bark was measured at 35.0% and 26.4%, respectively, higher than values reported for corresponding to wood of the same species, 21.8% and 22.2%, respectively, for RO and SM. Lignin isolation from bark was achieved by utilizing Organosolv catalytic and acid dioxane processes. Notably, the Organosolv process yielded lignins of considerably higher purity. The structural analysis of the bark lignins was peformed by combination of spectroscopic methods: FTIR,13P NMR, and solid-state NMR. Compared to dioxane lignins, a higher concentration of OH bound to syringyl and guayacyl units were found in Organosolv lignins. In contrast, aliphatic OH units are more important in dioxane lignins than in Organosolv lignins. Furthermore, sugar analysis was conducted via HPLC, thermal analysis was conducted through DSC and TGA, and ash composition identification was done using ICP-OES. Notably, higher Mw and Mn values are determined by GPC for dioxane lignins than for Organosolv lignins.

Pyrgus armoricanus

description: Pyrgus armoricanus (Oberthür, 1910)
Esta especie está bien distribuida sobre todo por la mitad norte peninsular y tiene colonias diseminadas por algunas zonas de la mitad sur. Está citada de casi la totalidad de las provincias, excepto Alicante, Badajoz, Cádiz, Guipúzcoa, Huelva, Málaga, Valladolid y Vizcaya. En Galicia ha sido citada en todas las provincias de forma esporádica, pero sólo presenta un patrón colonial más o menos homogéneo en el este de la provincia de Ourense.
La primera cita concreta en territorio gallego corresponde a Pontevedra y aparece en WARREN (1926). Las primeras para A Coruña y Ourense son de FERNÁNDEZ-VIDAL (1989) y la de Lugo, de FERNÁNDEZ-VIDAL (1991b).
Esta especie, que hiberna en estado de oruga, tiene hasta tres generaciones anuales. Aparece muy pronto en primavera y se mantiene hasta bien entrado el otoño, si bien su generación más abundante es la estival.
Forma colonias localizadas, generalmente con pocos individuos. Prefiere las zonas de monte bajo o los claros de bosque.
Sus larvas se alimentan de diversas especies entre las que destacan las de los géneros Potentilla y Helianthemum.
El género Pyrgus se diferencia de los otros géneros de la subfamilia Pyrginae en que los puntos blancos postdiscales de los espacios E4 y E5 del anverso de las alas anteriores están desplazados hacia el exterior. Para separarla del resto de las especies de este género, especialmente de P. onopordi, es necesario el estudio de su genitalia.

Esta especie tiene una distribución peninsular bastante heterogénea. La mayoría de sus registros corresponden al centro de la Península, sobre todo en el Sistema Central y se vuelven más esporádicos hacía el norte y hacia el sur. Está citada de casi la totalidad de las provincias, excepto Córdoba, Huelva, Guipúzcoa y Vizcaya y consideramos que es muy probable que termine apareciendo en casi todas las que faltan debido a que no es muy exigente en cuanto a biotopos y plantas nutricias. En Galicia sólo se ha citado hasta la fecha de Ourense y Pontevedra y los datos son muy escasos.
La primera cita concreta en territorio gallego corresponde a Pontevedra y aparece en SILVA-CRUZ & GONÇALVES (1950). La primera para Ourense es de CASADO-PASAMONTES (1990). La primera cita para Lugo aparece en este trabajo.

description: Pyrgus serratulae (Rambur, 1839)
Esta especie está distribuida por las zonas montañosas del tercio norte y centro peninsular. Faltan citas o estas son muy escasas en prácticamente la totalidad de las provincias de la mitad sur. En Galicia las citas son muy escasas y se circunscriben a la zona sureste de la Comunidad con una cita aislada en A Coruña, cerca de la frontera con Pontevedra, que carece de datos por el momento.
La primera cita concreta en territorio gallego corresponde a Ourense y aparece en FERNÁNDEZ-VIDAL (1988a). Las primeras citas para A Coruña y Lugo aparecen en este trabajo.
Esta especie hiberna generalmente como oruga. Tiene una sola generación anual, que aparece en mayo en zonas cálidas y se mantiene hasta finales del verano en zonas más frescas.
Forma colonias localizadas, generalmente con pocos individuos. Tiene preferencia por los claros de bosques y las laderas soleadas.
Sus larvas se alimentan de diversas especies de rosáceas del género Potentilla.
El género Pyrgus se diferencia de los otros géneros de la subfamilia Pyrginae en que los puntos blancos postdiscales de los espacios E4 y E5 del anverso de las alas anteriores están desplazados hacia el exterior. Para separarla del resto de las especies de este género es necesario recurrir al estudio de su genitalia.

Spialia sertorius

description: Spialia sertorius (Hoffmannsegg, 1804)
Esta especie está ampliamente distribuida por toda la Península. Existen citas en todas y cada una de las provincias y en aquellas en las que se han realizado estudios más o menos pormenorizados ha aparecido en la mayoría de las cuadrículas. En Galicia sin embargo las citas son bastante escasas y su distribución es muy heterogénea. Es probable que una de las causas sea su predilección por las zonas termófilas.
La primera cita concreta en territorio gallego corresponde a Ourense y aparece en CHAPMAN & CHAMPION (1907). La primera para Pontevedra es de SILVA-CRUZ & GONÇALVES (1950), la de A Coruña, de FERNÁNDEZ-VIDAL (1977) y la de Lugo, de FERNÁNDEZ-VIDAL (1991b).
Esta especie hiberna generalmente como oruga. Tiene dos o tres generaciones anuales, volando desde la primavera hasta finales del verano, dependiendo de la climatología del lugar.
Se presenta de forma dispersa, rara vez en colonias con muchos individuos y puede aparecer en cualquier biotopo, si bien prefiere los lugares térmicos, como cunetas, terrenos removidos o praderas secas, donde se ve con frecuencia su planta nutricia.
Sus larvas se alimentan de diversas especies de rosáceas entre las que destacan las de los géneros Potentilla, Rubus y Sanguisorba.
Se diferencia de los otros géneros de la subfamilia Pyrginae en que los puntos blancos postdiscales de los espacios E4 y E5 del anverso de las alas anteriores no están desplazados hacia el exterior.

Type species Acarus gallinae De Geer, 1778.
Historical reviews of the genus Dermanyssus can be found in Evans & Till (1962), Moss (1968, 1978) and Roy & Chauve (2007, 2010). The genus includes about 30 valid species from all climatic zones of the world, all of which are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of birds. Five of these species are credibly recorded from Slovakia, namely D. americanus, D. carpathicus, D. chelidonis, D. gallinae, and D. hirundinis. Roy et al. (2009a, 2010) recorded D. longipes from Slovakia, but we here consider those specimens to belong to D. hirundinis (see "Dubious species from Slovakia " below). Nosek & Lichard (1962) identified D. passerinus from Slovakia, but that record is also regarded as dubious.

Dermanyssus americanus.— Evans & Till, 1962: 281; Moss, 1968: 71, 1978: 634.
Taxonomic remarks. This is a clearly recognisable and well-defined species. It has only two pairs of J-setae (J1 and J3) on the opisthonotal portion of the dorsal shield, two pairs of small, suboval plates on the posterodorsal soft integument, and it lacks metasternal setae. These characters cannot be found in any other species that is reliably documented from Slovakia.
Occurrence and habitat. This species is known from Slovakia on the basis of one specimen deposited in our mite collection (see below). It was originally reported as Dermanyssus hirundinis (by Krumpál et al. 2001).
Host distribution. Bird nest: Passer sp. (Krumpál et al. 2001: as Dermanyssus hirundinis).
Revised data. Jablunkovské Medzihorie Mts.: 1 ♀, 30 December 1985, Svrčinovec Village, Passer sp.

Dermanyssus chelidonis.— Evans & Till, 1962: 283, 1966: 353; Moss, 1968: 79, 1978: 634.
Taxonomic remarks. The species may be easily separated from its congeners by its markedly reduced peritremes, which reach only the mid level of the coxae II. Other distinguishing characters can be found in the identification key below.
Occurrence and habitat. There are only a few records of this species from the western and central parts of Slovakia, but the species is undoubtedly more common and widely distributed than has been reported. The recorded vertical distribution of the Slovakian specimens ranges from 128 to 600 m a.s.l. Dermanyssus chelidonis appears to be almost host-specific for the common house martin, Delichon urbicum (86.2% of all specimens reported from Slovakia), although it occasionally occurs in the nests of other bird species (see below).
Host distribution. Bird nests: Delichon urbicum, Linaria cannabina, Riparia riparia. These hosts have been previously listed by Fenďa (2009), without complete collection data, which is added below. Another host, the Eurasian blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus, is not included among the hosts because Zeman & Jurík (1981) did not record D. chelidonis with this host in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia.

Type species: Dermanyssus sylviarum Canestrini & Fanzago, 1877.
The genus Ornithonyssus includes obligatorily haematophagous mites that are ectoparasites of birds and mammals. It contains up to 30 named species, distributed especially throughout the Neotropical and Nearctic Regions. The concept of Ornithonyssus used here follows the classification by Micherdziński (1980). That concept is considerably wider than that of Radovsky (2010), which divides Ornithonyssus into several separate genera. Three identified species are found in Slovakia, and all are considered to be cosmopolitan, namely O. bacoti, O. bursa and O. sylviarum (Radovsky 2010). The other Slovak member of the genus, Ornithonyssus pipistrelli, is essentially a parasite of vespertilionid bats, and can occasionally be found on some birds and dormice (Rodentia, Gliridae) and their nests, mainly on those nesting in natural tree hollows and artificial nest boxes used by bats for shelter.

Taxonomic remarks. Our specimens from Slovakia are generally in good agreement with those described by Zemskaya (1955), Evans & Till (1966), Wilson (1967) and Micherdziński (1980), except for the length of the peritremes. The anterior sections of the peritremes in our specimens are slightly shorter than in the specimens previously described—they reach to the mid level of coxae II, while the peritremes in this species are usually described as reaching at least to the posterior margin of the coxae I.
Occurrence and habitat. The European distribution of this species was originally centered mainly around ports and associated primarily with rats of the genus Rattus Fischer (Beran et al. 1956; Evans & Till 1966). There are only a few reports of this mite in Slovakia, mostly from associations with the house mouse, Mus musculus. The finding of some specimens in an aviary with the Australian zebra finch, Taeniopygia castanotis, is presumed to be an accidental but remarkable occurrence.
Host distribution. Bird nests: Taeniopygia castanotis (Cyprich et al. 2000). Mammals: Mus musculus (Mrciak 1963, Ambros & Stanko 1989, Stanko 1995, Fenďa & Mašán 2003, new data).

Taxonomic remarks. Despite the fact that this species is easily recognisable, the Slovak specimens have been misidentified (Mašán & Országhová 1995) and incorrectly listed under the name Ornithonyssus sylviarum.
Occurrence and habitat. This species is found throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world. In Europe, it is relatively rare, but can be massively abundant in some colonies of the barn swallow Hirundo rustica (Gjelstrup & Møller 1986; Møller 2002). Ornithonyssus bursa is newly recorded for the Slovak fauna.

Type species: Pellonyssus passeri Clark & Yunker, 1956.
According to Radovsky (2010) the genus Pellonyssus contains 13 valid species, all parasites of birds, and widely distributed mainly in warmer latitudes. He did not record any occurrence of this genus in Europe, but there are at least four papers published on European records of Pellonyssus from the nests of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) in Hungary and the Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) in Slovakia (Szabó et al. 2002, 2008; Švaňa et al. 2006; Fenďa et al. 2011).

Taxonomic remarks. Our specimens are in very good agreement with those described by Clark & Yunker (1956) under the name Pellonyssus passeri and later synonymised with Pellonyssus reedi by Till (1964). The female of the species is recognised by the following character states (1) peritremes reaching the mid-level of coxae II; (2) coxae II with a distinctive spur on its anterior margin; (3) basitarsi IV with an elongated setae pd3; (4) sternal shield reduced in length, subcrescentic; (5) sternal setae st1 short, subequal with anterio-posterior length of the sternal shield; (6) podonotal shield with ten pairs of setae and opisthonotal shield with six pairs of setae.
Occurrence and habitat. Pellonyssus reedi seems to be host-specific for sparrows, Passer spp., but it has also occasionally been recorded in the nests of other bird species (Micherdziński 1980). In Slovakia, it was found as a nest associate of the water pipit (Anthus spinoletta) and Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer monatnus), in collection sites at altitudes between 130 and 1,650 m a.s.l. Our detection of one heavily infested sparrow’s nest with 2,598 specimens of this mite confirms its high reproductive ability on this host. Szabó et al. (2008) found 12,213 individuals of P. reedi on 188 young sparrows in Hungary.
Host distribution. Bird nests: Anthus spinoletta, Passer montanus (Švaňa et al. 2006, as Pellonyssus sp., Fenďa et al. 2011, as Pellonyssus aff. reedi).
New data. Malá Fatra Mts.: 1 ♂, 9 July 2008, Turany Village, Snilovské Sedlo Mountain Pass, Anthus spinoletta; 2 ♀♀, 9 July 2008, Turany Village, Veľký Kriváň Mt., Anthus spinoletta.

description: Dermanyssus longipes Berlese &Trouessart, 1889
Dermanyssus longipes Berlese & Trouessart, 1889: 128.
Published record. Trnavská Pahorkatina Hills: 8 ♀♀, 12 August 1982, Budmerice Village, Passer domesticus (Roy et al. 2009a). We believe this record is based on a misidentification of D. hirundinis.
Remarks. The original description of Dermanyssus longipes by Berlese & Trouessart (1889) is not adequate for accurate recognition of this species (type locality " France "). The type specimens deposited in the Berlese Collection at Florence are not suitable for a detailed study (Evans & Till 1962; Moss 1978), so most modern authors have considered this species as a “species incertae sedis” and not included it in their keys to identification. However, Roy et al. (2009a) assigned some specimens to D. longipes on the basis of two morphological features (anal shield "slightly more" elongated and subrectangular, dorsal shield with a subapical shrinkage and rounded posterior margin) and geographic locality. Roy et al. (2009a) based their concept of this species on specimens from France, and from M. Mrciak’s specimens from Slovakia, in the collection of P. Fenďa at Comenius University. We have examined the Mrciak specimens (labelled as Dermanyssus passerinus), and can confirm that they belong to D. hirundinis. Therefore we do not follow the concept of D. longipes as given by Roy et al. (2009a).

Dermanyssus passerinus Berlese & Trouessart, 1889: 127.
Published records. Malé Karpaty Mts.: 982 specimens., 10 November 1958, Trstín Village, Ficedula albicollis; 3 specimens., ibid., Parus major; 6 specimens., ibid., Sturnus vulgaris; 56 specimens., ibid., Ficedula albicollis + Sturnus vulgaris (Nosek & Lichard 1962).
Remarks. As for the previous species, Dermanyssus passerinus is usually referred to as " incertae sedis " due to the inadequate description and damaged type material (Evans & Till 1962; Moss 1978). The voucher specimens of Nosek & Lichard (1962) are presumably lost and not available for revision, therefore they cannot be taken into consideration. They are probably misidentified specimens of Dermanyssus hirundinis and/or D. carpathicus.

Diagnosis: Dasch (1974) provided a good redescription of the genus, but included some characters that are too general or shared with other mesochorine genera. Herein, Lepidura is considered in a more strict sense, identified by the combination of the following character states: ovipositor sheath stout, scale-shaped; head mostly greenish (except in L. rubicunda, L. tuberosa, L. variegata and L. nigricephala sp. nov.); fore wing with large rhombic areolet; hind wing vein CU/1b present, usually spectral; vein CU1a twice as long as cu-a; median longitudinal carina of propodeum present, but incomplete (except in L. improcera and L. nigricephala sp. nov.); and glymma occupying 0.30 of petiole.
In the following sections we present morphological characters that complement the original descriptions of the species of Lepidura found in Dasch (1974).
