We have searched extensively for specimens, mainly in the Iberian Peninsula, and have gathered information on their taxonomy and biogeography. Two new species of Dendwcoelum and six new species of Phagocata are described. We also review the status of five other species and present distribution maps that summarize records of freshwater planarians in the Iberian Peninsula. The diversity of three ecological groups of freshwater planarians in this area is discussed and we show that it has a rich, stream-dwelling freshwater triclad fauna, contrary to the findings of earlier studies. But our findings support the traditional viewpoint that European lake-dwelling species are scarce in Spain. The distribution pattem of Girardia tigrina is also discussed. We conclude that the critical status of Schmidtea mediterranea in this area is partly due to habitat alteration through human interference.

(H.) lejlekensis sp. nov. from Kyrgyzstan, S. (H.) mediterranea sp. nov. from mainland Italy, Sicily and Croatia, S. (H.) rosellensis sp. nov. from central Italy, S. (H.) tetrix sp. nov. from Sicily, and S. (H.) tunisiae sp. nov. from Tunisia.Two new replacement names are proposed: Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) hellenica, nom. nov. for S. (H.) vervesi (Povolny, 1996) (junior secondary homonym of Kozlovea vervesi Nandi, 1993), and S. (H.) tangerensis, nom. nov. for S. (H.) amica (Peris et al., 1998) (junior secondary homonym of Phallosphaera amica Ma, 1964).Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) belanovskyi (Verves, 1973), S. (H.) helenae (Trofimov, 1948) and S. (H.) nanula (Povolny, 1999) are resurrected as valid, and the last (originally proposed as a subspecies) is given species rank.Sarcophaga amita Rondani, 1860 and S. bezziana Bottcher, 1913 are transferred from subgenus Discachaeta Enderlein to subgenus Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, subg. comb. nov.Thirty-nine new synonymies are established: Shoachaeta Lehrer, 1997 with Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, syn. nov.; Ashlaiana Lehrer, 1998 with Heteronychia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, syn. nov.; Heteronychia iubita Lehrer, 1999 with Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) ancilla Rondani, 1865, syn. nov.; Spatulapica lucentina Lehrer & Martinez-Sanchez, 2001 with S.

Nine new species are described: Monatractides novaeguineae, M. papuensis, M.nipsanicus, M. sentanicus, M. abepurus, M. bionus, M. sahuli, M. alticolus and M. humilis. A redescription of Monatractides papillatus (Smit, 1996) is given. A key to the species of Monatractides from Papua Province is presented.

    Rondostreptus, a new spirostreptid genus from southeastern Tanzania (Diplopoda: Spirostreptidae)

    RICHARD L. HOFFMAN
    6页
    查看更多>>摘要：The name Rondostreptus kiellandi is proposed for an undescribed genus and species of Spirostreptidae apparently endemic to the Rondo Plateau in southeastern Tanzania. It appears to have no close relatives among the known spirostreptid fauna of East Africa. The Rondo Plateau is an elevatefi region west of Lindi, in the coastal plain of southeastern Tanzania. With an estimated area of about 500 square miles above 1500 feet, and a maximum elevation of 2900 feet ASL (885 m), this landmass is a physiographic feature of potential biogeographic interest. It is one of the last parts of Tanzania to be investigated in terms of local biota, but one regrettably not neglected by commercial interests engaged in removal of the native forest during the past 150 years.
