Aristotelia subericinella, previously known from Ankara, Kahramanmaraş, Siirt, Van, Amasya and Bursa, is recorded for the first time in Bitlis province. Astragalus sp. (Leguminosae) suggested as new larval host-plant of species. Pupa, adult, female genitalia habitat pictures are illustrated. Information on distribution species mentioned.

Chemical investigations of the 70% alcohol extract of Oxytropis myriophylla (Pall.) DC. (Leguminosae) have afforded the new natural product neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (1) and the known phloretin-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), which was the first reported from the genus Oxytropis. This paper reports the isolation and full spectroscopic characterization of compounds 1 and 2 by NMR, UV, IR and M...

Extracts of the seeds of Vicia cretica (NO Leguminosae) strongly agglutinate T- Th- but not Tk- or other polyagglutinable red cells. The V. cretica lectin is therefore a very useful laboratory reagent in the elucidation of erythrocyte polyagglutination due to T-like erythrocyte cryptantigens.

A new species of genus Leluthia Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), L. chinensis Li & van Achterberg, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. It was reared from Agrilus sp. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a twig-boring pest of Caragana korshinskii Kom. (Leguminosae) in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, NW China. A key to the East Palaearctic species of the genus Leluthia is provided.
