The characteristics of seven crystal-forming Bacillus spp. are compared and an identification key is presented. It is concluded that the following changes in nomenclature are desirable: Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner becomes the type species Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis n. comb.; Bacillus sotto Ishiwata becomes Bacillus thuringiensis var. sotto n. comb.; and Bacillus cereus var. alesti Toumanoff and Vago becomes Bacillus thuringiensis var. alesti.Two new species, Bacillus entomocidus n. sp. and Bacillus finitimus n. sp., and a new variety, Bacillus entomocidus var. subtoxicus n. sp., are described.

Sporulated Culture

The insect pathogens Bacillus sotto Ishiwata and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner can be differentiated by means of certain cultural and morphological differences, and by a quantitative difference in pathogenicity for the larvae of Bombyx mori L., B. sotto being the more pathogenic. They are also pathogenic for the larvae of several North American Lepidoptera including Anisota rubicunda (F.), Anisota senatoria (A. and S.), Nymphalis antiopa (L.), Erannis tiliaria (Harr.), Datana integerrima (G. and R.), Datana ministra (Drury), Liparis dispar L., Protoparce quinquemaculata (Haw.), and Protoparce sexta (Johan.). Silkworm larvae ingesting material from a sporulated culture of B. sotto become sluggish, cease feeding, and suffer from a progressive paralysis that begins in the mid-gut area, spreads to affect the whole larva, and ends in death.

The genus Otraleus Günther, 1935 is recorded from the Philippines for the first time. Four new species, Otraleus bellemansae sp. nov., O. applai sp. nov., O. christianae sp. nov. and O. elizabethae sp. nov., are described from the highlands of Northwestern Luzon. The characters allowing separation from O. hypsimelathrus Günther, 1935 and O. labanrataensis Soew-Choen, 2016, are given. A new genus closely related to Otraleus, Capuyanus gen. nov., is described with a single species, C. magwilangi sp. nov., as type-species. An identification key and distribution maps are provided for all species.

The Afrotropical species of Ootheca Chevrolat, 1837 are revised based on examination of 9560 specimens. Crioceris mutabilis Sahlberg, 1829, the type species, is redescribed including comprehensive illustrations of its external and genitalic characters. Synonymy with Ergana Chapuis, 1879 is confirmed. Genitalic structures, in particular the median lobe, allow reliable species identification in this genus. Of the 33 species originally described in Ootheca and Ergana, eleven remain in Ootheca, with four new synonymies, resulting in the following nine valid species: O. mutabilis (Sahlberg, 1829) (= Malacosoma bicolor Allard, 1889 syn. nov.; = O. punctata Laboissière, 1931 syn. nov.); O. proteus (Chapuis, 1879) (= E. bifrons Laboissière, 1937 syn. nov.); O. chapuisi (Jacoby, 1899); O. bennigseni Weise, 1900 (= E. variceps Laboissière, 1939 syn. nov.); O. orientalis Weise, 1900; O. kibonotensis Weise, 1909; O. variabilis (Laboissière, 1920); O. frontalis Laboissière, 1923, O. meridiana Grobbelaar, 2008. Four species are herein described as new: O. eddae sp. n., O. julianae sp. n., O. tilmani sp. n., and O. ugandae sp. n. Redescriptions or descriptions are given for each of the 13 species, including illustrations of habitus outline, colouration, shape of basal antennomeres and the median lobe. Studied material is listed in detail, photographs of the primary types, distribution maps and a key are given. The 22 remaining described species from Ootheca have been previously transferred to other genera or will be in subsequent publications.

A New Species

Revision of the genus Hormoserphus Townes, 1981 has shown that its type species, Proctotrupes clypeatus Ashmead, 1893 belongs to Oxyserphus Masner, 1961 (Oxyserphus clypeatus (Ashmead, 1893), comb. n. [= Hormoserphus transgressus Townes, 1981, syn. n.]) thus making Hormoserphus a junior synonym of the latter genus. Trachyserphus Kolyada, gen. n. is described to accommodate Oriental Trachyserphus segregatus (Townes, 1981), comb. n. (from Hormoserphus), Central American Trachyserphus defrictus (Townes, 1981), comb. n. (from Sminthoserphus Townes, 1981) and South American Trachyserphus masneri Kolyada, sp. n. Hormoserphus chinensis He & Fan, 1991 and Hormoserphus striatus He & Xu, 2015 are treated as junior synonyms of T. segregatus. An identification key to the species of Trachyserphus is provided.

Incisor Process

Only one species of hippolytid shrimp, namely Hippolyte commensalis Kemp, 1925, was previously known to be associated with alcyonacean soft corals (Octocorallia, Alcyonacea) in the Indo-West Pacific. Recent collections revealed that at least three distinct hippolytid species are associated with alcyonacean soft corals. Moreover, these alcyonacean-associated hippolytids differ considerably from all other species of the genus Hippolyte Leach, 1814 in having a smooth rostrum bearing a single subapical ventral tooth, reduced styliform incisor process of the mandible, the basal antennular segment without ventromedial tooth, and the ambulatory pereiopods lacking or with only relatively small distoventral spines. A new genus, Alcyonohippolyte gen. nov., is thus established for Hippolyte commensalis Kemp, 1925 and two new species. Alcyonohippolyte dossena sp. nov. (the type species of the new genus) mainly differs from the congeners in having a humpbacked carapace. Alcyonohippolyte maculata sp. nov. closely resembles A. commensalis but clearly differs in having a furry carapace and distinct coloration, as well as in association with different alcyonacean host. An identification key is provided as well as information on the live coloration and host for all species of Alcyonohippolyte gen. nov.

A New Species

A new species of sponge-endosymbiotic shrimps, Periclimenoides tyrannodentatus, is described and illustrated. The species is remarkable for its stout subspatulate first pereiopods chelae with lateral fan-shaped pectination on their dactyli. Due to this character and simple ambulatory dactyli, the new species is similar to the type species of the genus, P. odontodactylus. Another remarkable character is in the unique shape of the minor chela of the second pereiopods; the distal cutting edges of its compressed fingers are distinctly expanded and armed with quite impressive dentitions. An identification key to the three currently recognised species of the genus Periclimenoides is provided. The new species represents the first record of the genus Periclimenoides from Taiwan.
