Testate amoebae from the wetlands of the Phobjikha Valley of Bhutan, the Eastern Himalayas.

The Kingdom of Bhutan in the Eastern Himalayas harbors a rich biodiversity. However, its detailed documentation still needs to be created, including not only macroorganisms but also protists. In the present study, as many as 105 taxa of testate amoebae were identified and directly counted in soil suspension samples collected from the wetlands of the Gangtey-Phobji Valley (generally Phobjikha), Wangdue Phodrang district.

Biodiversity checklists for Bhutan.

Background: The species checklists for Bhutan published in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) were originally collated for the publication 'Biodiversity Statistics of Bhutan 2017, A Preliminary Baseline' (BSB 2017). This document was published in 2019 and is the first comprehensive overview of Bhutan's species richness, recording more than 11,000 species across all five kingdoms. Collation of biodiversity checklists has been limited in Bhutan.

An annotated checklist of the Vespidae (Hymenoptera: Vespoidea) of Bhutan with new records.

This checklist covers each of the 73 social and solitary wasps of the family Vespidae currently known from Bhutan. Of these, 11 species in the subfamily Eumeninae, five species in Polistinae and one species in Vespinae are reported as new records for the country.

The genus (Gastropoda, Truncatelloidea, Amnicolidae), with a new species from Bhutan.

The distribution of the five (Gastropoda, Truncatelloidea, Amnicolidae) species that are diagnosed by both morphological and molecular data is combined with several records of less completely diagnosed nominal species. The resulting distribution pattern is summarized in a map and is discussed herein. is described from Bhutan on the basis of shell morphology and two mitochondrial DNA barcoding markers.

The genera and (Gastropoda, Rissooidea, Amnicolidae and Pomatiopsidae) in Bhutan and elsewhere in the eastern Himalaya.

Shells of the Rissooidea species that are known from Bhutan are characterized. is reported from that country for the first time. Two species from Bhutan are described as new to science, viz.
