Koralionastes giganteus Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. sp.nov. is described from subtidal coral slabs of back reefs of two small islands off the coast of Belize, Central America. Koralionastes violaceus Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. sp.nov. occurs on an island of the Great Barrier Reef, off the Queensland (Australia) coast, and is the first record of the genus outside of the Caribbean. All five Koralionastes species are associated with crustaceous sponges. Key words: Koralionastes, Koralionastes giganteus, Koralionastes violaceus, marine fungi, ascomycetes, corals, sponges.

The asellote family Gnathostenetroididae Kussakin, 1967 is reported for the first time from Australian waters. Four new species of Gnathostenetroides Amar, 1957 from the Great Barrier Reef are described. The genus Maresiella Fresi and Scipione, 1980 is here placed into synonymy with Gnathostenetroides and a new diagnosis is given for Gnathostenetroides together with a key to the 12 species and a map of the distribution of the genus. The genus Dignatroides Stock and Vonk, 1990 is placed into synonymy with Caecostenetroides Fresi and Schiecke, 1968, and a new composition of the family Gnathostenetroididae, the updated diagnosis and a key to the three genera are provided.

Two New Species

Two new species of scyphozoan jellyfishes from tropical Australian waters are described. The first, Sanderia pampinosus, n. sp., from waters off northern Western Australia, represents the first record of the genus from Australia. It differs from its only other congener, S. malayensis Goette, 1886, in having: (1) almost double the number of gonadal papillae at about half the body size; (2) horseshoe-shaped gonadal rings; and (3) eradial tentacles that are flattened in the oral-aboral direction and have nematocyst clusters on all sides. The second species, Netrostoma nuda, n. sp., from the Great Barrier Reef region, has been erroneously identified in the past as N. coerulescens. Species distinctions in the genus rely on the number and relative position of warts or papillae on the central dome; in contrast, N. nuda lacks warts and papillae, and instead has a large gelatinous knob at the apex of the bell. A key to the species of Netrostoma is provided, along with a synoptic list of previous reports of scyphozoans in tropical Australian waters.

A new species of Stephanostomum Looss, 1899 (Digenea, Acanthocolpidae) with a bizarre oral sucker: S. adlardi sp. nov. from the common coral trout Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède, 1802) (Perciformes, Serranidae) from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef

A New Species

AbstractA new species of Acanthocolpidae, Stephanostomum adlardi is described from the serranid Plectropomus leopardus from Lizard Island in the northern Great Barrier Reef. It differs from all previously described acanthocolpids in the structure of the oral sucker which is extended into dorsal and ventral lobes each bearing a row of spines. A phylogenetic tree estimated from combined nuclear small and partial large ribosomal RNA gene sequences shows that, despite the unusual oral sucker structure, the species is a true member of the genus Stephanostomum. The molecular results also suggest that Monostephanostomum nolani is derived from within Stephanostomum.

A New Species

During recent investigations on the terrestrial invertebrates of the tropical rainforest on Martinique Island (Pitons du Carbet), specimens of a new species of the terrestrial amphipod genus Cerrorchestia Lindeman, 1990, C. taboukeli sp. nov., were collected by means of different quantitative and non-quantitative methods (hand collection and Tullgren extraction) in the forest floor. The new species can be easily distinguished from the only other species of the genus, C. hyloraina Lindeman, 1990, by gnathopod 2 (carpus short, palm longer than wide), pereopod 4 dactylus with a denticulate patch, pereopod 5 basis ovate with a deep posterodistal lobe reaching the distal end of the ischium, pleopod 3 ramus with more than six articles. Cerrorchestia tabouleki sp. nov. is the first forest-hopper discovered in the Lesser Antilles, raising the question of island colonization by terrestrial amphipods. Ecological data and a key to terrestrial Talitridae of Central America and the Caribbean islands are provided.

A New Species

A new species of bee fly of the genus Chrysanthrax Osten Sacken, C. pennyi, n. sp., is described and illustrated. It was reared from the larva of a myrmeleontid, which marks the first record of parasitism by the genus of that family. The pupal exuvium is described and illustrated and a key to species known from Central America is given.

Mexican Species

AbstractMillipede diversity in tropical regions, and in Mexico in particular, is still mostly unknown. A modest but recurrent source of new Mexican species is the colonization of exotic species, due to human activity. The invasive speciesCylindrodesmus hirsutusPocock, 1889 has spread from its area of origin in Indonesia or Melanesia and become a virtually pantropical species. Although long known from South and Central America, reports from the Caribbean are sparse and limited to some eastern islands and southern Central America. On 9 March 2016, two adult specimens were found on Cozumel Island, Quintana Roo, in an area of medium semideciduous tropical forest. This paper comprises the first record of this species from Mexico and the northern Caribbean. Given the intense commercial activity in the region, the presence of more populations both in Cozumel Island and in the mainland coast is highly probable.
