Cantharis zapatai nom. nov., an overlooked species of Cantharis Linnaeus, 1758 from Central Spain (Coleoptera: Cantharidae).

Cantharis zapatai nom. nov. is proposed for Cantharis schrammi Pic, 1918, which is a primary homonym of Cantharis paulinoi var.

A new subspecies of Ropalopus (Ropalopus) ungaricus (Herbst, 1784) from southern Spain, Ropalopus (Ropalopus) ungaricus occidentalis ssp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

Ropalopus (Ropalopus) ungaricus occidentalis ssp. nov. is described, illustrated and compared with the other subspecies of Ropalopus (Ropalopus) ungaricus (Herbst, 1784).

Two new species of Pseudoniphargus (Amphipoda: Pseudoniphargidae) from southern Spain.

Two new species of subterranean water amphipod crustaceans of the genus Pseudoniphargus (Pseudoniphargidae) are described from gypsum caves of Andalusia, southern Spain. Both species share the extreme elongation of the male third uropod, a striking feature frequently reported in the genus and that seems to have arisen independently in several lineages. These findings raise the number of species of Pseudoniphargus known from the area to 17.

A redescription of the endemic Madagascan genus Tricompastes (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae).

The endemic Madagascan genus Tricompastes Cachan, 1952 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Triplatygini), containing a single species-Tricompastes gigas Cachan, 1952, is redescribed and illustrated, including first descriptions of male and female genitalia. First exact localities of the species are provided. Lectotype of T.

Classification of Omalisidae based on molecular data and morphology, with description of Paradrilinae subfam. nov. (Coleoptera: Elateroidea).

Omalisidae, a species-poor family of elateroid beetles, are distributed mostly in the Mediterranean region. The morphology of females is modified due to neotenic development and the males share some traits with other neotenic lineages in Elateroidea, namely Drilini (Elateridae: Agrypninae) and Lyropaeinae (Lycidae). A molecular phylogeny was inferred from six omalisid species representing four genera and the previously published dataset of Elateroidea.

An automatic weighting system for wild animals based in an artificial neural network: how to weigh wild animals without causing stress.

This paper proposes a novel and autonomous weighing system for wild animals. It allows evaluating changes in the body weight of animals in their natural environment without causing stress. The proposed system comprises a smart scale designed to estimate individual body weights and their temporal evolution in a bird colony.

Berengeria Gil-Santana & Coletto-Silva, a junior synonym of Ectrichodiella Fracker & Bruner, with new records and taxonomic notes on Ectrichodiinae from Brazil, and with keys to Ectrichodiinae and Reduviinae genera of the New World (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae).

Berengeria Gil-Santana & Coletto-Silva, 2005 is considered a junior synonym of Ectrichodiella Fracker & Bruner, 1924. Ectrichodiella minima (Valdés, 1910) and E. rafaeli (Gil-Santana & Coletto-Silva, 2005), new.
