the alien polychaetes are widely distributed in the whole mediterranean sea as well as in theegyptian waters. the objective of this study is to highlight the distribution and abundance of the alienpolychaetes along the alexandria coast, their contribution to the total polychaete community and the changesthey caused in the community structure. through monthly sampling polychaetes were collected ...

Venezuela possesses a great variety of coastal environments allowing for a high diversity of marine species. However, systematic studies on marine invertebrates are scarce, especially on polychaetes. The family Syllidae is poorly known, and only 14 genera and 42 species have been reported from this country. A total of 13 genera and 26 species the Syllidae were identified from benthic samples co...

The biology and morphology of the early stages of 22 species of Eumaeini (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae, Theclinae) are presented. Observations were collected through the inspection of inflorescences in the field and the rearing of 214 larvae in laboratory. Allosmaitia strophius (Godart) associated with Malpighiaceae species and the polyphagous Strymon mulucha (Hewitson) were the most frequently coll...

Abstract: This paper covers the first record of window flies, Scenopinidae (Diptera), in archipelago Fernando de Noronha, Brazil: Scenopinus schulzi Enderlein, which is briefly characterized. species was recorded low numbers: three males and 13 female specimens. The occurrence scenopinids Noronha regarded as an extension Brazilian mainland continental fauna. colonization discussed.

Cantabriella es un nuevo género de Licharewiidae conocido sólo la Cordillera Cantábrica; en él se incluyen C. schulzi (Martínez Chacón) (especie tipo del género), palentina y lavianica n. sp. En superficie algunos ejemplares palentina, con capa primaria erosionada, ha observado presencia perforaciones pequeño diámetro distribución irregular poco densa, cuya función ignora.

The genus Haplosyllides was considered as monotypic, with H. floridana as the only valid species. The present revision Includes two more species in this genus: H. aberrans comb. nov. and H. ophiocomae sp. nov. Syllis (Haplosyllis) aberrans (from Vietnam) was considered a Junior synonym of H. floridana (from the Caribbean). The finding of additional specimens from Vietnam and Indonesia, and the ...

We conducted a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from 3 adjacent genes (12S rRNA, tRNAVal, and 16S rRNA) in the mitochondrial genome from representatives of 14 phyllostomid genera including 7 species of Tonatia. Previous studies of the systematic relationships within Tonatia document that some members of this group are extremely divergent from others. Data on mitochondrial DNA sequence dep...
