Origmatrachys mahnerti sp. nov. is discovered and described from Ivory Coast. The new species differs from its congeners in the presence of a network of grooves on the dorsal and ventral idiosma, in the shape of the dorsal and ventral setae, and in the sculptural pattern on the sternal and ventral shield. This is the first record of the genus Origmatrachys Hirschmann, 1979 in the Afrotropical region. A list and a new key to the known Origmatrachys is presented. Twelve Trachyuropoda species are moved to the genus Origmatrachys as: O. angustioculata (Hirschmann 1976) comb. nov.; O. boliviensis (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov.; O.  dicarinata (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov.; O. dicarinatasimilis (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov.; O. dictyoeides (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov.; O. gracilis (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov.; O. reticulata (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov.; O. woelkei (Hirschmann, 1976) comb. nov. O. chimboensis (Kontschán, 2011) comb. nov.; O. ecuadorica (Kontschán, 2011) comb. nov.; O. pesici (Kontschán, 2011) comb. nov. and O. costaricana (Kontschán, 2011) comb. nov.

Three New Species

The present paper is a contribution to the taxonomy of the genus Strandesia. Here, we describe three new species: S. thomazi nov. sp., S. galeati nov. sp. and S. nakatanii nov. sp. We also describe the male of Strandesia obtusata (Sars, 1901); this is the first record of sexual populations of a Brazilian Strandesia species. Nine other Strandesia species from the Amazon, Araguaia, Pantanal and Paraná river floodplains are redescribed. We also propose that Strandesia trichosa Roessler, 1990 is a synonym of Strandesia psittacea Sars, 1901. Most of the species analyzed here are endemic to the Neotropical region, with the exception of Strandesia bicuspis (Claus, 1892) G.W. Müller, which occurs also (as an alien invasive species) in the Palaearctic. This genus occurs in water bodies with a wide range of abiotic variables and in many different aquatic macrophyte species. The species analyzed here have a highly conservative soft part morphology, but an impressive variety of carapace shapes.

First Time

The Neotropical fauna of Mantispidae is currently composed of 106 species. We provide new distributional records of Mantispidae from Colombia and Panama. Three new species are described, one in Symphrasinae from Colombia, and two in Mantispinae from Colombia and Panama. Haematomantispa nubeculosa (Navás, 1933) and Leptomantispa axillaris (Navás, 1908) are reported from Colombia for the first time, the former being the first record of the genus in the country. New locality records for other species previously known from Colombia are also given. For Panama, we report Anchieta fasciatella (Westwood, 1867) and Trichoscelia iridella (Westwood, 1867) for the first time, the former is herein newly transferred from Plega to Anchieta. Three names Mantispa confluens Navás, 1914, n. syn., Buyda apicata Navás, 1926, n. syn., and Mantispa neotropica Navás, 1933, n. syn., are here synonymized with Buyda phthisica (Gerstaecker, 1885). Updated keys for the genera of Mantispinae, and species of genera Trichoscelia, Buyda, and Climaciella from Colombia are included. With this new information, the known species richness of Mantispidae from Colombia increases from 21 to 26, and from 16 to 19 species in Panama.
