AbstractCormiococcus gen. n. is described for C. dieramae sp. n., a mealybug collected in South Africa on the corms of Dierama sp., imported to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, UK. Another mealybug species, Chorizococcus lachenaliae sp. n., is described from the bulbs of Lachenaliae sp., imported from South Africa to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Chorizococcus bardus (De Lotto) comb. n., originally described from South Africa on bulbs of Narcissus capensis, is transferred from Maconellicoccus Ezzat.

AbstractThe genus Afropsephenoides Basilewsky is revised. A new genus of Psephenoidinae, Malacopsephenoides Jeng & Satô gen.n. is established. Psephenoides japonicus Masuda is transferred to Malacopsephenoides, and P. volatilis Champion is transferred to Afropsephenoides. Two new species, Afropsephenoides ruthae Jeng & Yang sp.n. (South Africa) and Malacopsephenoides eureka Jeng & Jäch sp.n. (China), are described. A key to genera is given. The zoogeography and phylogeny of Psephenoidinae are discussed.

A new genus of pygmephorid mites, Micropygmephorus gen. nov. (Acari: Pygmephoroidea: Pygmephoridae), and two new species, M. pusillus sp. nov. and M. heterotrichus sp. nov. are described from  nests of and phoretic on termites, Trinervitermes trinervoides (Sjöstedt, 1911) (Isoptera: Termitidae), from South Africa. The taxonomic position of the new genus is discussed.

At the outset I would desire to express my deep obligations to Professor Rolleston in the matter of this paper. I was first informed of the existence of Land-Planarians in Ceylon by Professor Rolleston, and of the importance of investigating the correctness or incorrectness of Schmarda's description of a ganglionated nerve-cord in Sphyrocephalus , to which Professor Rolleston has referred in his ‘Forms of Animal Life,’ as have also many other authors. Professor Rolleston at first agreed that the paper should be a joint one, and himself prepared a large number of sections of Rhynchodemus , one of which is figured, but subsequently decided that my name only should appear in the matter. I have to thank him for suggestions and assistance rendered during the whole of the investigation, which took more than two months’ constant work, and also for help in the getting up of the bibliography of the subject. The work was done in the Ana­tomical Department of the Oxford Museum. The Land-Planarians the anatomy and histology of which are described in the present memoir were obtained in Ceylon during the months of January and February last year (1872) by the author, in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, through the kind assistance of G. H. K. Thwaites, Esq., F. R. S., the distinguished Curator of those Gardens.

A small group Marginellidae species were moved between genera several times by different authors, described as Marginella, sometimes called Glabella, classified under Dentimargo, and also reclassified as being Eratoidea species. This group of very small Marginellidae has their own unique shell characteristics within the family, and are described here within a new genus: Africosta. Four known species are discussed along with the description of two new species from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa within the new genus.

In the paper described are two new species of the genus Amphicrossus Erichson, 1843 (A. microtuberculatus sp. nov. from Sudan and A. uhligi sp. nov. from Zambia: Amphicrossinae), one new species of the genus Meligethinus Grouvelle 1906 (M. zimbabwensis sp. nov. from Zimbabwe: Meligethinae), one new species from the genus Neopallodes Reitter, Reitter, 1884 (N. madagascarensis sp. nov. from Madagascar: Nitidulinae, Cyllodini) and one species of the new genus Gonoglypha gen. nov. (G. distinctissima sp. nov. from Australia (Queensland): Nitidulinae, Cychramptodini). In the paper also some addition to the description of Meligethinus dolosus Grouvelle, 1919 from the eastern part of South Africa and some comments on significance of different characters, taxonomy and classifications of some groups of the family Nitidulidae are included.

AbstractTwo new species ofArthoniaceaeare described from old-growth European forests:Arthonia thorianafrom Horner Combe in Great Britain andInoderma sorediatumfrom the Białowieża Forest in Poland. Phylogenetic analyses using mtSSU sequences were used to determine the generic affiliation of the two species.Arthonia thorianais characterized by a non-lichenized white thallus, pallid brown, white pruinose ascomata of 0·12–0·30 mm diam., richly anastomosing paraphysoids and (1–2–)3-septate ascospores of 9–12×3·0–3·5 µm.Inoderma sorediatumdiffers from all other species of the genus by a sorediate thallus and the production of confluentic acid. It is the sister species toI. afromontanumin our phylogenetic analyses. The discovery of the new species supports the high value of these forests for biodiversity action plans. Phylogenetic analyses also placeSchismatomma niveumin theArthoniaceaeand the new genusSnippociais described to accommodate it. The genusLepranthais resurrected for its type species (L. cinereopruinosa). A lectotype is designated forArthonia pruinosella.
