The chiefly Holarctic Hydrobius species complex (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae) currently consists of Hydrobius arcticus Kuwert, 1890, and three morphological variants of Hydrobius fuscipes (Linnaeus, 1758): var. fuscipes, var. rottenbergii and var. subrotundus in northern Europe. Here molecular and morphological data are used to test the species boundaries in this species complex. Three gene segme...

The genus Sterigmostemum M. Bieb. belongs to the tribe Hesperideae of the Brassicaceae family. The results of this research confirmed the recognition of five species in Iran: S.incanum, S. sulphureum,  S. ramosissimum,  S. acanthocarpum  and S. longistylum. S. laevicaule is excluded from the genus Sterigmostemum and is regarded as a synonym of Erysimum crassicaule. The new combination, namely, ...

three subspecies of mus musculus have been recognized in iran so far. the house mouse (genus0t 0t2tmus2t, species0t 0t2tmus musculus2t) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer accurate taxonomic markers in this species that has been shown any unambiguous diagnostic morphological traits. among the chromosomal character...

A new species of the genus Polypoetes Druce, 1885, milleri spec. nov. from Colombia is described. We provide diagnostic characters for species, photographs adults and genital structures both sexes. Additionally, we confirm a host plant subfamily Dioptinae, Quararibea cordata (Malvaceae), commonly known as “zapote”.
