Rhodocollybia utrorensis sp. nov. is described from the Utror valley, Pakistan. It is characterized by a dull brown pileus with a low umbo and inrolled margin, adnate lamellae with wavy margin, presence of pleurocystidia and inamyloid basidiospores. Both morpho-anatomical features and phylogenetic analysis based on ITS nrDNA sequence indicate Rhodocollybia utrorensis is a new species. This is the first report of the genus Rhodocollybia from Pakistan.

Within recent years a considerable amount of work has been done on the Myxosporidia, especially, as pointed out by Kudo (1919), in North America, Asia, and to a lesser degree in Japan (Fugita, 1912, 1913, 1925). Few investigations, however, have been carried out in Australia, and consequently very little is known concerning the distribution of the group in this country. There appear to be as yet only two contributions to the subject, papers by T. Harvey Johnston and M. J. Bancroft (1918, 1919). As far as can be ascertained, my paper is the first report concerning Myxosporidia from fishes of Southern Australian waters, and contains the first record of a species of Chloromyxum from Australia.

AbstractA new feather mite species, Tyrannidectes pteroptochi sp. n. (Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae: Pterodectinae), is described from the Moustached Turca Pteroptochos megapodius Kittlitz, 1830 (Passeriformes: Rhinocryptidae) in Chile. This is the first record of mites of the genus Tyrannidectes Mironov 2008 from this family of passerines. Tyrannidectes pteroptochi is clearly distinguished from all previously known Tyrannidectes species by having several unique features in females: whip-like hysteronotal macrosetae h2, hysteronotal setae h3 exceeding the length of the terminal appendages, and spiculiform pseudanal setae ps2 and ps3. A brief review of taxonomic works on the Tyrannidectes is provided.

This article presents the first record of the oribatid mite genus Epidamaeus (Oribatida, Damaeidae) in Taiwan. A new species, Epidamaeus saviah Ermilov sp. n., is described based on the material recovered from the soil and lichens collected in Yushan National Park (Taiwan). The newly discovered species differs from Epidamaeus barbatulus (Choi, 2004) in the length and the morphology of parastigmatic apophyses and notogastral setae, as well as in the absence of ventrosejugal tubercles.

Miobdelus humilis sp. nov. is described as new. A lectotype is designated for Staphylinus (Xanthocypus) miwai Bernhauer, 1943 and Thoracostrongylus miyakei Bernhauer, 1943. Ocypus (Ocypus) miwai (Bernhauer, 1943) is transferred from Ocypus Leach, 1819 to Sphaerobulbus Smetana, 2003 and the species is re-described based on types and modern specimens. A female description of Apecholinus imitator Smetana & Hu, 2019 is provided. Creophilus flavipennis Hope, 1831, Nelmanwaslus ornatus Smetana, 2006, Ontholestes oculatus (Sharp, 1874) and Platydracus juang Smetana, 2005 are reported for the first time from Taiwan. Ontholestes oculatus is re-described based on Taiwanese material, representing the first record of the genus Ontholestes Ganglbauer, 1895 in Taiwan. Platydracus juang is considered to be a termitophilous species, associated with Reticulitermes leptomandibularis (Hsia & Fan, 1965), which would represent the first report of termitophily in the subtribe Staphylinina. Additional records of C. maxillosus maxillosus (Linnaeus, 1758), Agelosus auricomus Smetana & Hu, 2019, Apecholinus fraternus Fairmaire, 1891, Miobdelus taiwanensis taiwanensis Smetana, 2001, Naddia taiwanensis Shibata, 1979 and Thoracostrongylus formosanus Shibata, 1982 are provided. Habitus photos of the above species and Dinothenarus choui Smetana, 1992 are also provided. A preliminary checklist of Staphylinina in Taiwan is proposed.

The oribatid mite genus Dorycranosus (Oribatida, Liacaridae) is recorded for the first time from the Neotropical region. One new species, Dorycranosus grenadaensis sp. nov. is described from ferns and mosses near lake in the forest of Grenada (Antilles). The new species differs from Dorycranosus shipitsyni (Ermilov, Rybalov & Kemal, 2011) by the body surface, length of notogastral and adanal setae.
