attempts were made to present a practical key for identification of small strongyles, the identification ofwhich seems to be a difficult task to do. 4000 nematodes collected from the large intestine of horses anddonkeys were examined. 18 species of small strongyles of horse and 15 of donkey were found. from 6species of large strongyles found in both animals, we only dealt with 3 of triodontopho...

We compared the in vitro activities of isavuconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, and fluconazole against Dipodascus capitatus (n = 21), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (n = 20), Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (n = 18), and Trichosporon spp. (n = 15). The MIC(50)s, MIC(90)s, and MIC ranges (in microg/ml) obtained using the CLSI M27-A3 procedure were as follows: isavuconazole, 0.125, 0.5, and < or = 0.015 to...

The genus Phlaeopterus Motschulsky, 1853, which was previously known only from North America, is recorded for the Palaearctic fauna for the first time: P. czerskyi (Shavrin, 2001) comb. nov. (East Siberia: Khamar-Daban Mts.) is transferred from the genus Lesteva Latreille, 1797, redescribed, and illustrated.

Descriptions are provided for three new shade-associated species in the dung beetle genus, Sisyphus Latreille, 1807: Sisyphus umbraphilus sp. nov., Sisyphus oralensis sp. nov., and Sisyphus neobornemisszanus sp. nov. All three species are illustrated by photographs of habitus, diagnostic features, and male aedeagi. A map is provided showing their geographical distributions.

A catalogue of all the known genera and subgenera of the Coleoptera series Derodontiformia and Bostrichiformia, each with a single superfamily (Derodontoidea and Bostrichoidea, respectively), is provided. The following new tribes are established and type genera are designated: Apphianini Háva trib. nov., Ranolini Háva trib. nov. (all Dermestidae); Ochinini Zahradník trib. nov., Phanerochilini Z...
