Potential arboviral Afrotropical mosquito vectors are underrepresented in public databases of CoxI barcode sequences. Furthermore, available sequences for many species often not associated with voucher specimens to match the corresponding fine morphological characterization specimens. Hence, this study focused on Culicine mosquitoes from South Africa, Mozambique, and Angola their classification...

We recognize 20 species of Symmocinae, concluding that all belong in the genus Chersogenes Walsingham, 1908 with synonyms Epanastasis 1908, syn. rev., Ambloma nov. and Thanatovena Gozmány, 1957. Thirteen are described as new: variabilis Falck & Karsholt, sp.

Pythium is a fungus-like genus with worldwide distribution that is found in most terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It is a species-rich genus contains important plant pathogenic species. Little is known on the systematics of Pythium in West Azarbaijan province (N.W. Iran). Thus, the aim of this study was to identify 200 isolates collected from different cultivated soils of West Azarbaijan pro...

Freshwater sponges constitute an overlooked part of the freshwater fauna in Sweden and there has been no recent systematic survey. Hitherto three species have found Sweden: Spongilla lacustris (Linnaeus, 1759), Ephydatia fluviatilis 1759) E. muelleri (Lieberkühn, 1856). Neighbouring countries (Norway, Denmark, Estonia) harbour at least one additional species. We present a study on sponge divers...
