Parasites represent one of the most abundant lifestyles, and yet, only a small portion is described (Dobson et al. 2008). Cabo Verde parasitofauna is mostly unknown and the only study on parasites infecting reptiles, in which a new species of nematodes is referred, highlights the presence of unrecognized taxa (Jorge et al. 2012).
Contributions to the knowledge of the mite genus Stigmaeus Koch, 1836 (Acari: Stigmaeidae) of Turkey
(2017)
Based on the mite specimens collected within the scope of a study on Erzincan (Turkey) mite biodiversity, two species of the genus Stigmaeus are described and illustrated here: S. bifurcus sp. nov. as new to science and S. miandoabiensis Bagheri & Zarei, 2012 as a new record for Turkey. Some morphological abnormalities in the new species are noted. The deutonymph of S. miandoabiensis is described for the first time in this study. Discovery of this stage from soil and litter under Pinus sylvestris in Turkey adds more data to our knowledge of the species.
Conognatha iris iris Olivier (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is recorded for the fi rst time for Venezuela. The record is based on a single female specimen from Caicet hill, Amazonas state. A map of the known distribution of the taxon is provided
Cixidia fusca and Synecdoche impunctata (Hemiptera: Achilidae) are reported from Missouri for the first time, new state records. Ecological and trapping information is also provided.
Cnestus mutilatus (Blandford) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is reported from Pennsylvania for the fi rst time, new state record. Specimens were collected using baited Lindgren funnels as early as 2013. Within Pennsylvania, C. mutilatus is now reported from Berks, Bucks, Lehigh, Montgomery, and York Counties.
