Two New Species

Omniops gen. n. (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae: Hydrophilini: Acidocerina) is described for two new species from Papua New Guinea: Omniops fasciatus sp. n. and O. hanseni sp. n. This genus is distinguished from other genera of Hydrophilidae by having the eyes divided into dorsal and ventral portions by an extension of the frons, and by having a row of dense long setae on the labrum. The tribal placement of the new genus and that of Quadriops Hansen are discussed. High resolution digital images are given for each holotype (online versions in color).

The Relationship

A new genus, Fistulococcus Hodgson & Martin is introduced, to accommodate two new species of soft scale insect. All stages (except the pupa) of the type species, F. pokfulamensis from Gnetum luofuense (Gnetaceae) in Hong Kong, are described. All female stages, and the second-instar male, are described for F. intsiae from Intsia bijuga (Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae) in Papua New Guinea. The structure of the dorsal chambered ducts is discussed in relation to the types of wax secreted. The relationship of Coccidae with plants in the Gymnospermae is discussed, as part of the account of F. pokfulamensis.

Synanthropic Rodents

Pseudoparasitus (Gymnolaelaps) annectans (Womersley) and two new species are assigned to a new genus, Nidilaelaps.Nidilaelaps has a number of important differences from Pseudoparasitus and other genera that Nidilaelaps annectans hasbeen previously assigned to, but shares characters with Australopapuan vertebrate-associated taxa, particularly the“Androlaelaps” ulysses species group and Laelapsella Womersley. Nidilaelaps annectans is common in a variety ofmammal and bird nests and also in forest litter. The two new species (N. holdsworthi sp. nov., N. lisae sp. nov.) arerecorded from mammals, birds, or their nests in Papua New Guinea or Australia. Nidilaelaps is inferred to be endemic tothe Australopapuan region. The presence of N. annectans in other regions is suggested to be due to relatively recent colonisation, facilitated by its many phoretic associations, particularly with synanthropic rodents.

A new genus, Hoyicoccus Williams & Kozár gen. n., and two new species, Hoyicoccus hendersonae Kozár & Williams and Eriococcus szentivanyi Kozár & Williams are described from Sabah, Malaysia. In addition, the genus Sangicoccus Reyne is discussed: Sangicoccus truncatispinus (Reyne) is redescribed and two new species, namely Sangicoccus morrisoni Kozár & Konczné Benedicty and Sangicoccus reynei Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, are described. Sangicoccus is now known off palms from Irian Jaya and Sulawesi in Indonesia, and from the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. A key is provided for the separation of the known species of Sangicoccus.
