Species groups, subgroups, and key to world species of the genus Trägårdh, 1915 (Acari, Prostigmata, Tetranychidae).

After a comprehensive taxonomic assessment of descriptions/ illustrations of all known (118) species of the spider mite genus Trägårdh (Acari: Prostigmata: Tetranychidae), five species groups are proposed based on the number of tactile setae on tibia II in female, i.e., with four setae (four spp.

New species of (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaetaceae) from India, with a key to Afro-Asian Tropicoporus species.

The complex, predominantly reported from East Asia, Mesoamerica and Caribbean countries, was circumscribed into as one of the new genera, based on morphological and phylogenetic data. The present paper describes four new species of from India. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, based on ITS and nLSU data, delimited the new species, which are named , , and .

Hidden diversity of and (Amphisphaeriales, Sporocadaceae) species allied with the stromata of entomopathogenic fungi in Taiwan.

, commonly referred to as pestalotiopsis-like fungi, exhibit a broad distribution and are frequently found as endophytes, saprobes and pathogens across various plant hosts. The taxa within pestalotiopsis-like fungi are classified into three genera viz. , and , based on the conidial colour of their median cells and multi-locus molecular phylogenies.

Taxonomic novelties and global biogeography of (Ascomycota, Didymosphaeriaceae).

Whilst conducting surveys of lignicolous microfungi in Yunnan Province, we collected a large number of taxa that resemble (Didymosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales). Our phylogenetic study on involved analysing sequence data from ribosomal RNA genes (nc18S, nc28S, ITS) and protein-coding genes (2, 1-α). We present a biphasic approach (morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence) that supports the recognition of four new species in .

New subgenera and a new species of the genus Dugès (Prostigmata, Raphignathidae), with taxonomic notes on the genus Smiley & Moser.

A new species, R. (D.

The subfamily Dermestinae (Coleoptera, Dermestidae) from Saudi Arabia.

In this study, the fauna of Saudi Arabian Dermestinae (Coleoptera, Dermestidae) is summarised. Six species and single species from two Marioutini genera, , are reported. Dermestes (Dermestinus) undulatus Brahm, 1790 and Dermestes (Dermestes) haemorrhoidalis Küster, 1852 are newly recorded from Saudi Arabia.

The genus Berlese (Acari, Prostigmata, Tetranychidae): taxonomic assessment and a key to subgenera, species groups, and subgroups.

A comprehensive taxonomic assessment of the most agriculturally important and highly diverse spider mite genus, Berlese (Acari: Tetranychidae) was performed. The sub-generic division, species groups, doubtful species, species complexes and the interpretation of a key generic character are discussed. Based on the orientation of the male aedeagus, only two subgenera, namely Berlese (aedeagus downturned) and Tuttle & Baker (aedeagus upturned), are valid in the genus .

The subfamily Thorictinae (Coleoptera, Dermestidae) from Saudi Arabia.

In this study, the Saudi Arabian Thorictinae beetle species, Háva & Abdel-Dayem, , Háva & Abdel-Dayem, , Háva & Abdel-Dayem, , Háva & Abdel-Dayem, are described, illustrated, and compared with related species. Three other species: Germar, 1834; Wasmann, 1894; and Chobaut, 1904 are excluded from the fauna of Saudi Arabia. A list of Thorictinae species from the Arabian Peninsula is provided.

An annotated checklist of Coccinellidae (Insecta, Coleoptera) with eight new records from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The members of Coccinellidae are among the most important biological control agents being used throughout the world. The objective of this study was to provide the current scenario of this family in Saudi Arabia. Collection surveys of ladybird individuals were conducted throughout Saudi Arabia.

First record of the subfamily Epitraninae from Saudi Arabia (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Chalcididae), with the description of three new species.

The monotypic subfamily Epitraninae Burks, 1936 (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Chalcididae) is reported for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Seven species are recorded in the Southwestern and Central regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, of which three species are new: Soliman & Gadallah, (female & male), Gadallah & Soliman, (male), and Soliman & Gadallah, (female), are described and illustrated. Four new records, (Fabricius), complex, Steffan, and (Risbec), are also reported.

Review of the Arabian Lund (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), synoptic list, distribution, and description of two new species from Oman and Saudi Arabia.

The genus is one of the most species-rich and widespread groups of ants. Despite their often-high local abundance and important ecological interactions, the taxonomy of the genus is fragmentary and in great need of modern revisionary studies. As a first step towards a revision for the Arabian fauna of , a review of all known species with synoptic species accounts is provided.
