Additional Contribution To The Study Of The Freshwater Fauna Of Testate Amoebae In Southeast Azerbaijan, Nataly Snegovaya, Ilham Alekperov

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Investigations of the inland water bodies of southeast Azerbaijan (mainly near the city of Lenkoran and its suburbs) yielded 11 additional species of freshwater testate amoebae. Among these, 7 species (Oopyxis lenkoranica sp.n., Pentagonia azerbaijanica sp.n., Difflugia lenkoranica sp.n., D.talyshica sp.n., D.sapnakeranica sp.n., D.pressula sp.n., and D.girkanica sp.n.) are new to science. Descriptions of all 11 species are given.


A New Freshwater Ciliate From Northeastern Azerbaijan: Gymnocyclidium Nabranicum N. Gen., N. Sp And Gymnociclidiidae N. Fam. (Scuticociliatida, Ciliophora), Ilham Alekperov Jan 2009

A New Freshwater Ciliate From Northeastern Azerbaijan: Gymnocyclidium Nabranicum N. Gen., N. Sp And Gymnociclidiidae N. Fam. (Scuticociliatida, Ciliophora), Ilham Alekperov

Turkish Journal of Zoology

From 2003 to 2006, the freshwater ciliates of northeastern Azerbaijan were studied. The present paper describes a new ciliate - Gymnocyclidium nabranicum n. gen., n. sp. (Gymnocyclidiidae n. fam.) that clearly differs from other representatives of Scuticociliatida by reduction of bipolar somatic kineties to 2 or 3 short longitudinal crowns. Gymnocyclidiidae n. fam. includes 3 genera - Gymnocyclidium n. gen. (type genus), Paurotricha Dragesco and Dragesco-Kerneis, 1991 and Paracyclidium Grolière, de Puytorac, Grain, 1980.

The Little-Known Free-Living Ciliates From The Soils Of Pirgulian State Reserve (Eastern Azerbaijan), Ilham Alekperov, Jamilya Sadikhova

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The species diversity of the soil free-living ciliates of 3 parts of Pirgulian State Reserve was investigated. In total, 120 species of free-living ciliates were found. Five of them (Enchelys vermiformis F., 1986, Epispathidium terricola F., 1986, Drepanomonas sphagni Kahl, 1931, Frontonia terricola F., 1986, and Cirrophrya terricola F., 1986) are new for the Caucasus fauna. The description of 5 species are based on the observations of living specimens and the analysis of total slides impregnated by silver nitrate.

Fauna Of The Subfamily Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) Of Azerbaijan With New Records, Azer Abulfaz Oghlu Aliyev

Turkish Journal of Zoology

This paper presents information about 103 species of the subfamily ichneumoninae. 10 species of them were included in the Azerbaijan fauna, 25 in the Caucasian fauna and 65 in the Transcaucasian fauna for the first time. They belong to 6 tribes and 36 genera. Their distribution, hosts and biotopes were noted.
