description: Сычевская порода крупного рогатого скота, районированная в Смоленской области, является локальной. Разводится она в трех областях, численность её в РФ 0,24 процента. Вопрос сохранения генетических ресурсов сычевской породы в генофонде российских пород актуален. В настоящее время, рассматривается вопрос о создании генофондного хозяйства по сохранению сычевской породы. Исследования проведены в 2010-2023 г.г. в племенных заводах сычевской породы Смоленской области по общепринятым методикам. Цель исследования - показать генетический потенциал локальной сычевской породы в совершенствовании племенного скота. Появление выдающихся по молочной продуктивности коров является следствием селекционной работы. У крупного рогатого скота от одной рекордистки естественным путем можно получить ограниченное количество дочерей, поэтому от них стараются получить быков-производителей, которые наследуют от матери ее ценные гены и передают их своим дочерям, способствуя наиболее быстрому накоплению и распространению ценных генетических особенностей рекордисток. В племенных стадах имеются коровы с удоем 9 - 12 тыс. кг молока, что позволяет говорить о реальных возможностях формирования в породе быкопроизводящей группы животных собственной репродукции с высоким генетическим потенциалом молочной продуктивности. По результатам исследований у коров, сочетающих высокие удои и повышенное содержание в молоке жира и белка, выделен наследственный материал (аллели ЕАВ - локуса групп крови), маркирующий высокую продуктивность и долголетие животных. При пожизненном удое 40 - 50 т у коров с высокой частотой встречаются ЕАВ – аллели A/1B/, B2O1, G2Y1D, O2A/2J/2K/O/, O1A/1, соответственно, 0,200;0,139; 0,094; 0,259; 0,133. Отмеченные аллели рекомендованы к размножению в стадах при индивидуальных закреплениях. Приведенные данные свидетельствуют о целесообразности сохранения сычевской породы

Locusta niponensis

description: Species group niponensis (Haan, 1843)
Diagnosis (species group “a”). The species studied here within the species group possesses the widest tegmina, comparatively long files (Fig. 5 a–f) and widest mirrors (Fig. 6 a–e). The file is widest in middle, from which teeth are gradually narrowed toward both ends (Fig. 5 a–f).
Bioacoustics. One song unit is composed of several continuous syllables (Fig. 1). This species group possesses 5 song types (Fig. 1, Table 2). The song types of M. himalaya sp. nov. and M. marmorata He are distinguished from other three types by the repeated syllables without amplitude change (Fig. 1 p–q, s–t). In the other three types, one song unit could be separated into three phases, i.e., low-amplitude beginning and ending phases, and high-amplitude middle climax (Fig. 1 a–d, f–i, k–n).
Included taxa. M. niponensis (East Asia), M. fallax He, 2019 (China), M. crescendo sp. n. (China), M. himalaya sp. n. (China), and M. tibetensis sp. n. (China), and M. marmorata He, 2019 (China).

Diagnosis. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by basal teeth of the stridulatory file which are abruptly becoming smaller proximad (Fig. 5g).
Bioacoustics. The song unit is only a simple chirp, made up of a few simple syllables (Fig. 2 a–d) (see song parameters in Table 3). Its song is very similar to the song type “Chirper“ that was described by Nityananda & Balakrishnan (2006), but different from the latter by the short interval between neighboring chirps. The relation between duration and period is 1: 2 in M. confracta sp. n. compared to 1: 4 in “Chirper”.
The species “b1” is widely distributed in southern China (including Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong).
Etymology. The species name indicates that its song consists of broken chirps.

Epigonus

description: Genus Epigonus Rafinesque, 1810
Diagnosis (based on Western Indian Ocean species). A genus of the family Epigonidae with the following combination of characters: body elongate, body depth 16–27% SL; first dorsal-fin spines 7–8 (the 8th may present as an isolated spine between first dorsal and second dorsal fins); second dorsal-fin with a single spine and soft rays 9–11; anal fin with 2 spines and 8–9 soft rays; pectoral-fin rays 15–23; gill rakers 18–36; lateral-line scales 33–51; pyloric caeca 5–35; infraorbital bones 8, smooth; branchiostegal rays 7; edges of opercular bones smooth to weakly serrated; lateral line scales on caudal peduncle not forming a keel; no antrorse teeth in upper jaw; procurrent rays soft.
Remarks. The epigonid genera, Epigonus, Brephostoma Alcock, 1889, Florenciella Mead & De Falla, 1965, Rosenblattia Mead & De Falla, 1965 and Sphyraenops Poey, 1861, are distributed in the Western Indian Ocean and closely related to each other. Epigonus differs from Brephostoma in having 7–8 first dorsal-fin spines and 2 anal-fin spines (vs. 6 first dorsal fin spines and one anal fin spine in Brephostoma). Also, Epigonus differs from Florenciella and Rosenblattia in having 9–11 soft rays in the second dorsal fin (vs. 7–8 in the latter two genera), a shallower body depth [16–27 % SL vs. 25–42 % SL from Mead & De Falla (1965)], soft procurrent rays (vs. stiff), and in lacking antrorse teeth on the upper jaw (vs. present on the both jaws). Epigonus can be distinguished from Sphyraenops by having none or a single pungent opercular spine (vs. 3 opercular spines in Sphyraenops), 2 spines and 8–9 soft rays on the anal fin (vs. 3 spines and 7 soft rays on the anal fin), and 7 branchiostegal rays (vs. 6 branchiostegal rays). The genus Epigonus of the Western Indian Ocean are represented by 14 species, including two new species here described (Figs. 1–3).

Comparisons and Remarks. Epigonus elongatus is a member of the E. pandinonis group (Okamoto & Motomura 2013). E. elongatus differs from the remaining 11 species of the genus in the Western Indian Ocean in having fewer gill rakers (22–23 vs. 26–36 in the others) and lacking ribs on the last abdominal vertebra. No additional specimens of E. elongatus have come to light since the original description in 1986 (Fig. 9).

Introduction. The scale insect family Kermesidae is composed of about one hundred species in ten genera (Ben- Dov et al., 2013). The family placement of Kermesidae has changed throughout the years and have been placed in Kermitidae (Maskell, 1884), Kermidae (Ferris, 1937), Kerminae (Balachowsky, 1948) and Kermococcidae (Balachowsky, 1930). The family has also been combined with the eriococcids (Ferris, 1957), pseudococcids (Balachowsky, 1942) and dactylopiids + eriococcids + micrococcids + beesoniids (Hoy, 1963). Miller et al. (2005) noted several characters that separated the genera of Kermesidae based on adult female morphology, including: (i) anal ring with or without pores; (ii) pores of two types, those with five loculi and those with eight to ten loculi; (iii) tubular ducts arranged in a submarginal band on venter; (iv) absence of microtubular ducts; (v) presence of simple disk pores, and (vi) legs variously reduced with indistinct segmentation. Several exceptions to this diagnosis occur and it is very likely that some of the genera are incorrectly placed within the Kermesidae (authors' observations; Miller et al., 2005).

Type species. Coccus variegatus Gmelin (= Kermes roboris Fourcroy), subsequently designated by Fernald, 1903.
Introduction. The genus Kermes is the type genus of the family Kermesidae. Some of the synonyms for this genus include Kermococcus Silvestri and Talla von Heyden (Bullington & Kosztarab, 1985). This is the only genus that is found in all regions of the world where Kermesidae species are recorded: the Nearctic region with 16 species, the Oriental and Palaearctic regions both with 23 species, the latter including the six described in this study from Israel (Ben-Dov et al., 2013).
All Kermes species share the following traits in the adult female: presence of (i) a submarginal band of tubular ducts on venter; (ii) multilocular pores ventrally on the abdominal segments, and (iii) a three-segmented labium with 14 setose setae. Our study suggests that the many species currently included in Kermes have a very varied morphology making a generic diagnosis difficult, indicating that further work needs to be done, particularly those described from post-reproductive females.
