A redescription of this species is presented together with notes on its morphological variability and its ecology. A new species of Neocallichirus, N vaugelasi, is described for specimens from Aqaba, previously attributed erroneously to C. (orN.) jousseaumei, mdN. natalensis Bamard, 1947 is removed from the synonymy of the latter. This is the first record of this species for the Philippines and Thailand.
查看更多>>摘要：The new species described here has, for a long time, been confused with Dina stschegolewi (Lukin & Epshtein, 1960), a species described from Krym (the Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine). Both species are similar in having rows of yellow spots on the dorsal surface. As the latter species had been poorly defined in the past, all yellow spotted specimens of the genus Dina Blanchard, from the area of the Near and Middle East, were attributed to Dina stschegolewi (Ruckert 1985, Nesemann 1993, Nesemann & Neubert1999). Prof. V. M. Epshtein (Wuppertal/Germany, oral communication) suspected that the specimens attributed to Dina stschegolewi by Nesemann (1993) and Nesemann & Neubert (1999) differed from the species from Krym. Furthermore, Grosser & Pesic (2006) mentioned that populations of Dina stschegolewi sensu Nesemann, 1993 most probably belong to a new species.

Javalbia (Javalbicula) turcica sp. nov. and Barbaxonella bingolensis sp. nov. are described as new species; Axonopsis armata Chaudonneret & Angelier, 1949 is synonymized with A. romijni Viets, 1923; Kongsbergia (Kongsber-gia) persica Pesic, 2005, Albaxona lundbladi Motas & Tanasachi, 1947, Axonopsis (Hexaxonopsis) romijni Viets, 1923, A. (Navinaxonopsis) persica Pesic, 2004 and^. (Paraxonopsis) vietsi Mota§ & Tanasachi, 1947 are reported for the first time for Turkey.

This taxonomic decision is based on anatomical comparisons to the ten genera of Arionidae native to northwestem North America. Securicauda lacks an atrium and atrial accessory stmctures and the epiphallus is almost entirely buried in the penis; Carinacauda has an atrium, a pair of atrial accessory stmctures, and a long epiphallus that is not embedded in the penis.

(Acari: Heterostigmatina: Trochometridiidae) associated with an elaterid beetle of the genus Paulusiella (Insecta: Coleoptera) is described from Iran. This is the first recordof association between trochometridiid mites and beetles of the family Elateridae. The host range of the family Trochometridiidae is reviewed and a key to world genera and species is provided.
