A new species of Docosia Winnertz, Docosia dentata sp. n., is described and illustrated, based on a single male specimen collected in Muránska planina National Park in Central Slovakia. DNA sequences (COI, COII, CytB, and ITS2) are included and compared for 13 species of Docosia. There was found only little congruence between the molecular results and previous scarce data about interspecific re...

The article describes a new rove beetle species, Thiasophila szujeckii sp. n., in southeastern Poland. This new species is associated exclusively with Formica truncorum. The authors describe its sexual dimorphism of habitus, structure of antennae, eighth abdominal tergite and eighth sternite. T. szujeckii sp. n. shares most morphological features with T. angulata and T. lohsei known in Europe. ...

A phylogenetic hypothesis for the tribe Ithomiini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Danainae) is presented, based on sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunits I and II (COI–COII) region and regions of the nuclear genes wingless and Elongation factor 1-alpha. Branch support for each clade is assessed, and a partition congruence index is used to explore conflict among gene regions. The ...
