Turkish Journal of Zoology
Spilomyia manicata (Rondani, 1865) is reported as a new genus and species record from India and the Oriental region. A brief diagnosis, images, and comparison with allied species are provided to scientifically validate this new faunal record from the Indian subcontinent and to facilitate its prompt identification. The species shows rare distribution across its range, and various factors pose a threat to the existence of this large pollinator species. Therefore, the documentation of this species assumes significance for devising conservation strategies and sustainable management.

A New Record Of Three-Band Garden Slug Ambigolimax Valentianus (A. Férussac, 1822) (Gastropoda: Limacidae) From Turkey, İhsan Eki̇n, Ridvan Şeşen
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Ambigolimax valentianus (A. Férussac, 1822), the three-band garden slug, is originally native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal, and the Balearic Islands); however, it has been spread by human activities to many other parts of the world. There is no distributional record of the slug in Turkey to date. The species was recorded for the first time in Turkey during a biological survey carried out in the accommodation area of Dicle University (Diyarbakır) in October 2017. Some of the slugs were transferred to the laboratory for their morphological determination and dissection. Notably, more than 50 species of slugs dwell on …

New Data On Aplidium Tabarquense (Tunicata: Ascidiacea)Distribution In The Adriatic Sea, Slavica Petovic, Flavia Grieco, Vesna Macic, Federica Montesanto, Francesco Mastrototaro
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The colonial ascidian Aplidium tabarquense Ramos-Espla 1991 was recorded in Montenegro during a monitory survey carried out by scuba divers on an underwater outfall of the wastewater discharge system in Traste Bay.
