All 32 species of the genus Pultenaea Sm. occurring in the eastern states of Australia with velutinous ovaries and incurved leaves are revised and seven names are reduced into synonymy for the first time. Two new species are described, Pultenaea penna de Kok and Pultenaea rodwayii Tindale ex de Kok, and one former variety of P. muelleri is raised to species level (P. reflexifolia). Eleven species (P. acerosa, P. costata, P. divaricata, P.�laxiflora, P. muelleri, P. prolifera, P. prostrata, P. subalpina, P. trifida, P. trinervis and P. vestita) are lectotypified and a key to the group is provided. The legitimacy of treatment of the presented species as a separate group and the species concept used is briefly discussed.

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are culturally and economically important bees and they represent a major component of the Colombian melittofauna. However, the bee fauna of Colombia is still in early stages of exploration and species identification is often difficult or impossible. We revised the species of the cleptobiotic stingless bee genus Lestrimelitta in Colombia and recognized the following eleven species: L. glabrata, L. guyanensis, L. rufa, L. rufipes, and L. spinosa, which are recorded for the first time for the country; L. huilensis, L. opita, L. piedemontana, and two new species, L. diminuta, sp. n. and L. galvisi sp. n. We also confirmed the presence of L. limao in the Colombian Amazon and provide new geographical records with an updated key to species from Central America and northern South America

All 37 eastern species of the genus Pultenaea Sm. with recurved leaves have been revised and two names are reduced to synonymy for the first time. Four new species are described: Pultenaea tarik de Kok, P.�borea de Kok, P.�bracteamajor de Kok and P.�bracteaminor de Kok. One taxon is given a new name: P.�rariflora de Kok (�=�Pultenaea paleacea var. pauciflora C.T.White). Two taxa are recognised in this study at the species level for the first time: P.�elusa (J.D. Briggs & Crisp) de Kok and P.�robusta (H.B.Will.) de Kok. For one species: P.�elachista (F.Muell.) Crisp, a neotype is proposed. Seven species are lectotypified (P.�benthamii F.Muell., P.�densifolia F.Muell., P. gunnii Benth., P.�largiflorens F.Muell. ex Benth., P.�myrtoides A.Cunn. ex Benth., P.�patellifolia H.B.Will. and P.�retusa Sm.). Two species (P.�elusa and P.�maidenii Reader) are considered extinct in this study. A key to the group is provided and a brief discussion is given as to the legitimacy of these species being treated as a separate group. A list of all accepted names and synonyms of the eastern species of Pultenaea is given.

A review of the genus Villa Lioy in Egypt was carried out. Seven species were found, two of them are described as new, namely: V. efflatouni sp. nov. and V. stenozoides sp. nov.; V. aegyptiaca Engel is raised to species level (stat. nov.) and a lectotype designated; and V. bivirgata Austen and V. paniscoides Bezzi are recorded for the first time from Egypt. Another two species, V. cana (Meigen) and V. micrargyra (Walker) were previously recorded in Egypt. The study of type specimens showed that V. senecio (Loew), wrongly recorded from Egypt, is a synonym of V. ixion (Fabricius) syn. nov. A key, diagnoses, and illustrations of genitalia and wings of some species are provided.

The Neotropical crab spider genera Tobias Simon, 1895 and Epicadus Simon, 1895 comprise species with remarkable somatic morphology and confounding taxonomic history. The results of our recent cladistic analysis corroborate and extend preceding taxonomic assumptions in showing that Tobias is a junior synonym of Epicadus. In the present paper the six species recently transferred from Tobias to Epicadus are redescribed. Two new species are described based on both males and females: Epicadus dimidiaster sp. nov. and Epicadus tigrinus sp. nov.; the male of Epicadus granulatus Banks, 1909 is described for the first time. The diagnosis of the genus is revised, an identification key is provided, and information on geographical distribution is updated. Epicadus now comprises eleven species.

The skipper genus Scobura Elwes & Edwards, 1897 is reviewed as it occurs in China. Polytremis flavinerva hainana Gu & Wang is transferred to the genus Scobura and raised to the species level, i.e., S. hainana (Gu & Wang, 1997), comb. nov. Zographetus hainanus Gu & Wang, 1997, syn. nov. and Scobura youngi Devyatkin, 2004, syn. nov. are considered to be synonyms of Scobura cephaloides kinka Evans, 1949, and S. hainana (Gu & Wang, 1997) respectively. Two new species from South China, S. stellata sp. nov. and S. parawoolletti, sp. nov. are described and illustrated. The female genitalia of S. cephaloides kinka, S. coniata and S. hainana are described for the first time. A key to the 14 species of the genus is provided. Adults and genitalia of eight Chinese species and S. woolletti (Riley, 1923) from Borneo are illustrated and a brief description of each Chinese species is given.

A New Species

Twenty-nine species in five genera of deep-water Galatheidae are reported from southern and eastern Australia increasing the known Australian galatheid fauna from 55 to 74. Species of Paramunida and Agononida are reported for the first time from southern Australia, with a new species of each described, P. antipodes and A. procera. Seven new species of Munida are described (M. aequalis, M. asprosoma, M. chydaea, M. endeavourae, M. isos, M. kapala, and M. spinicruris) increasing the number of known Australian species from 12 to 19. Four new species of Munidopsis are described (Ms. kensleyi, Ms. proales, Ms. tasmaniae, Ms. treis) and three species are newly recorded from Australia (Ms. centrina, Ms. dasypus, Ms. subsquamosa) increasing the known fauna from 11 to 18. Previous records of Ms. dasypus are based on Ms. kensleyi, but we include the first reliable record of M. dasypus from Australia. Previous records of Munida japonica from Australia are referable to M. rogeri Macpherson. Previous Australian records of Munida microps Alcock are referable to two new species, M. endeavourae and M. isos. Previous Australian records of Ms. dasypus are referable to Ms. kensleyi. Raymunida formosanus Lin, Chan & Chu is reported for the first time from Australia. Alcock s (1894) Munida squamosa var. prolixa is recognised as a distinct species of Agononida.

AbstractEleven species are recognized of which C. bogilana and C. subflavorubescens are described here as new to science while nine species (C. cinnabarina, C. decipiens, C. ferruginea, C. inconspecta, C. pellodella, C. scopularis, C. stantonii, C. squamosa and C. subsoluta) are reported for the first time for South Korea. Both new species are peculiar due to their secondary chemistry; anthraquinones along with atranorin, gyrophoric acid and lecanoric acid in C. bogilana, and gyrophoric acid together with anthraquinones in C. subflavorubescens.

First Diagnosis

The species-level taxonomy of the ant genus Meranoplus F. Smith from Madagascar is revised. Two new species, M. cryptomys sp. n. and sylvarius sp. n. are described from workers and queens; M. mayri Forel, 1910, and M. radamae Forel, 1891, are redescribed, and queens and males for these two species are described for the first time. The first diagnosis of Meranoplus males for any biogeographic region is provided based on Malagasy species. Illustrated keys to all known Malagasy castes and species are presented. Diagnoses are given for two species groups: the M. mayri group and the M. nanus group. The diagnosis of the M. nanus species group from Bolton (1981) is thereby expanded with six new characters. Two species are known from the M. mayri species group and seven described species are known for the M. nanus species group, including the two new species described herein. The mouthparts, genitalia, and all castes, where known, of Malagasy Meranoplus are illustrated.
