Illustrated descriptions of the adult male, pupa and fourth instar larva, as well as DNA barcoding results of Chaetocladius (Chaetocladius) elisabethae sp. nov. in comparison with closely related species of Chaetocladius s. str. from the Moscow Region are provided. A reference 658 bp barcode sequence from a fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI) was used as a tool for species delimitation. Comparisons with corresponding regions of COI between C. (s. str.) elisabethae sp. nov. and other species of the subgenus produced K2P genetic distances of 0.11-0.16, values well associated with interspecific variation. The barcodes of the new species were identical to the Chaetocladius sp. 2ES in BOLD systems. Molecular data were also used for the reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships within the subgenus Chaetocladius s. str.

Two novel dissymmetric diterpenoids, biselisabethoxanes A and B ( and ), were isolated from the hexane extracts of the gorgonian coral . Biselisabethoxane A () represents the first example of a marine-derived C dimer made of two distinct diterpene fragments, whereas biselisabethoxane B () is a fused heterodimer stemming from coupling of two amphilectane-based fragments. The structures of and were elucidated based on 1D and 2D NMR spectral data analysis.

Natural products from fungi have remained a rich resource for drug discovery. Here we report the isolation of three new spirobisnaphthalenes, namely sacrosomycin A-C (1-3), and three known analogues (4-6), from the ethyl acetate extract of a nonsporulating endolichenic fungus derived from var. mauritzii.
