RESUMEN
The members of the genus Pseudorientalia Radoman, 1983 are small hydrobiid species with characteristic features of the penis and female genitalia. The type locality of the genus is the southern Marmara region, northwestern Trkiye. In this study, sampling was carried out in the upper Sakarya River Basin, western-middle Anatolia to obtain hydrobiid specimens, which yielded a new Pseudorientalia. The shell, penis, and female genitalia of the new species are described. The measurement of some shell characters is compared with the other representatives of the genus from Trkiye, northern Greece, and some Aegean islands: Samos, Chios and Lesvos. In addition, notes on Pseudorientalia natolica are also given from examination of the type specimens.

A stable and ultra sensitive nano-scale fluorescent chemo-sensor for trace amounts of Cu(2+) was proposed. The Cu(2+) selective fluoroionophore 2-{[(2-aminophenyl)imino]methyl}-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol (DMK-7) was encapsulated in polymeric ethyl cellulose. The sensing membranes were fabricated in form of nanofibers and thin films. When embedded in polymers, the exploited DMK-7 dye exhibited enhanced photophysical characteristics in absorbance, Stoke's shift, fluorescence quantum yield, and short and long-term photostability with respect to the solution phase. Sensing abilities of the nanofibers and thin films were tested by steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt using the DMK-7-doped electrospun nanofibrous materials for copper sensing. The offered sensor displayed a sensitive response with a detection limit of 3.3×10(-13) M for Cu(2+) ions over a wide concentration range of 5.0×10(-12)-5.0×10(-5). Additionally, exhibited high selectivity over convenient cations; Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+), NH4(+) and Ag(+), Al(3+), Ba(2+), Co(2+), Cr(3+), Fe(3+), Fe(2+), Hg(2+), Li(+), Mn(2+), Ni(2+), Pb(2+), Sn(2+) and Zn(2+).
