First record of the invasive longhorn crazy ant, Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille, 1802) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Mt. Elgon, eastern Uganda
-
We report the first observation of the invasive longhorn crazy ant (Paratrechina longicornis) in the Mount Elgon region of eastern Uganda. About 43 000 ants were sampled in 256 locations throughout the Ugandan foot slopes of Mt. Elgon in the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. We found P. longicornis in five locations in and around the town of Budadiri, Sironko district. The visual species identification was confirmed by COI gene-based DNA barcoding. That this species was found in only a small area suggests that it has only been recently introduced. The impact that P. longicornis will have on the local agricultural system or the biodiversity within the Mount Elgon National Park remains unclear. The Mt. Elgon region is a unique key biodiversity area where baseline data can be collected now to quantify the effects of P. longicornis as it increases its distribution within the region

First record of the rotifer Lecane shieli Segers and Sanoamuang, 1994 from Australia
-
The monogonont rotifer Lecane shieli is recorded for the first time from Australia (Bora Channel in the Macquarie Marshes, New South Wales: 30.65872° S/147.53 144° E). Until recently, L. shieli was known only from Thailand, where the species was first described. This Australian record of a Thai 'endemic' is interesting in considering possible dispersal and biogeographical distribution.
