Abstract A new endemic species of land planarian, Diporodemus merridithae, belonging to subfamily Microplaninae is described from Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is the first report of a new land planarian of the subfamily Microplaninae from the United States since 1954 (Hyman 1954). Species external and internal anatomy is described using photographs and a drawing and notes on species distribution, habitat, and conservation are provided. Identifications and previous reports of land planarians from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the United States, and Europe is discussed, as are collections of two cohabitants and the observation of asexual reproduction observed in one cohabitant specimen.

We describe Lachesilla texana Mockford and García Aldrete, n. sp., with populations in northeastern Mexico, central and southern Texas, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Several minor differences are noted between the Smoky Mountains and the Texas-Mexican populations. We assign the new species to the andra group (García Aldrete 1974) and in order to place it within this large and complex species group, we propose a classification of the group with designation of four subgroups based primarily on male external genitalic and paragenitalic structures. Probable apomorphies are noted for each of the subgroups.

A new eutardigrade, Doryphoribius smokiensis sp. nov., is described from soil and leaf litter samples collected in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, USA. The new species differs from two similar species (with two macroplacoids and a sculptured dorsal cuticle without gibbosities) by the presence of a very wide buccal tube (high buccal tube pt ratio: >20.0), absence of enlarged bases of claws, absence of eyes, and other morphological and morphometric characters.

Soyedina parkeri sp. nov. (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) is described from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA. This species was recognized as new over 15 years ago by the junior authors but had yet to be formally described until now. Soyedina parkeri sp. nov. appears closely-related only to S. sheldoni Grubbs & Baumann, 2019 due to shared characteristics of the scle­rotized inner member of the epiproct. Soyedina parkeri sp. nov. can be readily separated from all other nine species of eastern Nearctic Soyedina by the broadly rounded apical portion of the outer paraproct lobe.Key words: Plecoptera, Nemouridae, Soyedina, new species, Nearctic, North Carolina, Great Smoky Mountains National Park
