A new ecclesiasticus species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is proposed. The group is characterized primarily by the presence of seta z6 on the podoscutum and setae S2, S4, and S5 on the opisthoscutum. It is composed of 17 species: T. sentus Pritchard and Baker, T. neosentus van der Merwe, T. acanthus van der Merwe, T. sennarensis El Badry, T. parva (Matthysse and Denmark) comb, nov., T. kuzini (Wainstein), T. relenta (Matthysse and Denmark) comb, nov., T. ecclesiasticus De Leon, T. scytinus Chazeau, T. prunusus van der Merwe, T. yokogawae Ehara and Hamaoka, T. operantis (Chaudhri) comb, nov.,T. loricatus (Wainstein) comb, nov., T. bregetovae (Wainstein and Beglyarov) comb, nov., T. neosoleiger Gupta, T. ignavus (Chaudhri) comb, nov., and T. niloticus El Badry. Typhlodromus vitreus (Chaudhri) comb. nov. is designated as a junior synonym of T. bregetovae. Two species, T. ignavus and T. niloticus, are designated as "species inquirendae" because of insufficient information on their characteristics. Various generic concepts relating to the species in this group are reviewed. The group is described and a key to adult females and descriptions of each species are provided.

Species Inquirendae

The pyri species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is proposed to accommodate species characterized primarily by the presence of setae S2 and S4 and the absence of S5 of the S-series on the opisthoscutum. There are at present 18 species in this group: T. leptodactylus Wainstein, T. magdalenae Pritchard and Baker, T. corticis Herbert, T. andrei Karg, T. griekwensis Schultz, T. atticus Swirski and Ragusa, T. baccettii Lombardini, T. pyri Scheuten, T. tubifer Wainstein, T. klimenkoi Kolodochka, T. tiliae Oudemans, T. setubali Dosse, T. cotoneastri Wainstein, T. athiasae Porath and Swirski, T. laurae Arutunjan, T. exhilaratus Ragusa, T. phialatus Athias-Henriot, and T. ernesti Ragusa and Swirski. Four subspecies also are proposed: Typhlodromus athiasae athiasae Porath and Swirski stat. nov., Typhlodromus athiasae perbibus Wainstein and Arutunjan stat. nov., Typhlodromus exhilaratus exhilaratus Ragusa stat. nov., and Typhlodromus exhilaratus americanus subsp. nov. Typhlodromus pritchardi Arutunjan and T. vepallidus (Koch) are designated as species inquirendae because of insufficient information on their identities. The identity and status of T. pyri, the type species of the genus Typhlodromus, is reviewed. The following new synonymies are proposed: T. rodovae Wainstein and Arutunjan as a junior synonym of T. corticis; T. helenae Schicha and Dosse and T. oligadenus Athias-Henriot as junior synonyms of T. baccettii; T. ajsel Abbasova as a junior synonym of T. tubifer; T. siwa El Badry, T. hellenicus Swirski and Ragusa, and T. perbibus Wainstein and Arutunjan as junior synonyms of T. athiasae; and T. laurentii Ragusa and Swirski as a junior synonym of T. setubali. The group is defined and a key to and descriptions of the adult females of the species and subspecies are provided.

Eleven Afrotropical species of Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, ten in the Bengalia peuhi species-group and one reassignedto the Bengalia spinifemorata species-group, are revised. The male genitalia of all, and the ovipositor of six species, areillustrated by means of digital colour photography. A key to males is provided. Two species, i.e., Bengalia minor Malloch,1927 and Bengalia peuhi Villeneuve, 1914, are assigned to the Bengalia peuhi subgroup of the Bengalia peuhi species-group. Five species, i.e., Bengalia depressa Walker, 1858, Bengalia floccosa Wulp, 1885, Bengalia gaillardi Surcouf &Guyon, 1912, Bengalia roubaudi Rickenbach, Hamon & Mouchet, 1960 and Bengalia tibiaria Villeneuve, 1926 areassigned to the Bengalia floccosa subgroup of the Bengalia peuhi species-group. Three species, i.e., Bengalia africanoidessp. nov., Bengalia aliena Malloch, 1927 and Bengalia wyatti (Lehrer, 2005) comb. nov., have been left as species incertaesedis in the Bengalia peuhi species-group. The eleventh species, Bengalia bantuphalla (Lehrer, 2005) comb. nov., is re-assigned to the Bengalia spinifemorata species-group. Bengalia africanoides sp. nov. has only 3 post dc setae, a featureunique for a species of Bengalia. A neotype is designated for Calliphora floccosa Wulp, 1885 (now in Bengalia), to fixthe interpretation of the name in accordance with current usage. Lectotypes are designated for Bengalia bekilyana Séguy,1935, Bengalia depressa, Bengalia gaillardi, Bengalia peuhi and Bengalia unicalcarata Villeneuve, 1913 to fix theinterpretation of the names. Bengalia africana Malloch, 1927 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia depressa,syn. nov. Bengalia cuthbertsoni Zumpt, 1956 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia tibiaria, syn. nov.Shakaniella sakinehae Lehrer, 2011 is established as a junior synonym of Shakaniella wyatti (now in Bengalia), syn. nov.Tsunamia yourubana Lehrer, 2005 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia aliena, syn. nov. Ochromyia petersianaLoew, 1852 is removed from its current position as a doubtful senior synonym of Bengalia depressa and transferred to thegenus Thoracites Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1891 as Thoracites petersiana, comb. nov. in the Rhiniidae. This name is proposed as a senior synonym of Thoracites neglectus Zumpt, 1972, syn. nov.

Species Inquirendae

Species of the genus Sadocus Sørensen, 1886 are conspicuous gonyleptids that occur in Chile and Argentina. Here, the genus is revised for the first time and the cladistic analysis based on morphological characters does not corroborate its monophyly unless a phylogenetically unrelated species is excluded (explained further on). A new classification is proposed for the seven species left in the genus and considered valid, of the 13 nominal species previously recognized. Two out of the seven valid species are considered as species inquirendae: Sadocus allermayeri (Mello-Leitão, 1945) [= Carampangue allermayeri Mello-Leitão, 1945] and Sadocus nigronotatus (Mello-Leitão, 1943) [= Carampangue nigronotatum Mello-Leitão, 1943]. The following synonymies are proposed: Sadocus bicornis (Gervais, 1849) [original combination = Gonyleptes bicornis Gervais, 1849] is a junior synonym of Sadocus asperatus (Gervais, 1847) [= Gonyleptes asperatus Gervais, 1847]; Sadocus conspicillatus Roewer, 1913, Sadocus exceptionalis (Mello-Leitão, 1946) [= Araucanoleptes exceptionalis Mello-Leitão, 1946] and Sadocus guttatus Sørensen, 1902 are junior synonyms of the valid name Sadocus polyacanthus (Gervais, 1847) [= Gonyleptes polyacanthus Gervais, 1847]; and Sadocus calcar (Roewer, 1913) [= Lycomedes calcar Roewer, 1913] is a junior synonym of the valid name Gonyleptes horridus Kirby, 1819. Sadocus brasiliensis Soares & Soares, 1949 is not congeneric with Argentinean/Chilean species of the genus according to the cladistic analysis and is here synonymized with Discocyrtus catharinensis (Mello-Leitão, 1923 [= Sadocus catharinensis Mello-Leitão, 1923]).

AbstractMaterial of the nematode previously known as Heterocephalobus elongatus (and the type of the genus) was collected in four localities from the southern Iberian Peninsula and is described and illustrated. The first SEM study of the species is presented. The species is transferred to the genus Pseudacrobeles on the basis that the lateral field fades out near the phasmid. Within this genus it is classified under the subgenus Pseudacrobeles as the lip region has a triradiate symmetry. The combination Pseudacrobeles (Pseudacrobeles) elongatus (de Man, 1880) comb. n. is proposed. As a result of synonymising the type of Heterocephalobus, the genus itself becomes a junior synonym and is herein placed under the genus Pseudacrobeles, subgenus Pseudacrobeles. The species formerly listed under Heterocephalobus are returned to their original combination and listed as species incertae sedis or species inquirendae.

The species of the subgenus Inaequalium are reviewed based on adult and pupal morphology. All main taxonomic characters are fully illustrated together with a key to pupae for species identification. Discussions on the species’ taxonomy and brief summaries of their distribution and biology are also provided. As a result of this study, 14 species are now included in the subgenus Inaequalium. They are placed into two species groups, the botulibranchium species group with three species and the inaequale species group with 11 species, including two that are treated as species inquirendae: S. lurybayae Smart and S. parimaense Ramírez-Pérez, Yarzábal, Takaoka, Tada & Ramírez. Simulium lurybayae Smart, S. margaritatum Pepinelli, Hamada & Luz and S. maranguapense (Pessoa, Ríos-Velásquez & Py-Daniel) are now placed in the inaequale species group. Two lectotypes are designated for the following species: S. clavibranchium Lutz and S. diversibranchium Lutz. Simulium hauseri (Coscarón & Coscarón-Arias) is regarded as an unavailable name.

The revised tiliarum species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is defined by the presence of setae Z1, S2, S4, and S5 as well as J2, J5, Z4, and Z5 on the opisthoscutum, excluding sublateral seta R1 which may or may not be inserted on the opisthoscutum. The chaetotaxy on the opisthoscutum of the revised tiliarum group is identical with that of the australicus (in part) and simplex groups. However, the tiliarum group is distinguished from the former by the absence of seta z6 on the podoscutum and from the latter by differences in the nature of the peritreme and of the setae on the dorsal shield and by the shape of the ventrianal shield. The original tiliarum group included only 3 species whereas the revised group comprises 26 species, including one new species: T. comptus Corpuz, Typhlodromus crassipilis (Athias-Henriot and Fauvel) comb, nov., T. aceri Collyer, T. tuberculatus Wainstein, Typhlodromus runiacus (Kolodochka) comb, nov., T. transitans Gupta, T. tiliarum Oudemans, T. perforatus Athias-Henriot, Typhlodromus carmeli (Rivnay and Swirski) comb, nov., Typhlodromus montforti (Rivnay and Swirski) comb. nov., T. elisae Schicha and McMurtry, T. spaini Collyer, T. cassiniae Collyer, T. steveni Schicha, T. myopori Collyer, T. steeli Schicha and McMurtry, T. cottieri Collyer, T. dachanti Collyer, T. novaezealandiae Collyer, T. manukae Collyer, T. glenfieldensis Schicha, T. oleariae Collyer, T. corrugatus Schicha, Typhlodromus ashleyae sp.nov., T. armidalensis Schicha and Elshafie, and T. nesbitti Womersley. Heteroseiulus aceris Lehman is synonymized with T. aceri, Typhloctonus prunus Denmark and Rather with T. transitans, and Seiulus sexapori Karg and Edland with T. tuberculatus. Shiehia multispinosa Tseng and Typhloctonus vollsella Chaudhri are proposed provisionally as junior synonyms of T. comptus and T. transitans, respectively. Four genera, Neoseiulella Muma, Typhloctonus Muma, Pegodromus Athias-Henriot and Fauvel, and Heteroseiulus Lehman are designated as new junior synonyms of the genus Typhlodromus and one genus, Shiehia Tseng, as a provisional junior synonym. Most species in this group are recorded from temperate climates; 16 of the 26 recorded species are limited to the Australian faunal region. Various generic concepts relating to the species in the tiliarum group are reviewed and the general characters of the group are described. A key, descriptions, and illustrations for adult females of each species are provided.

AbstractTwo species of the genus Chiloplectus are described from Ukraine. Detailed studies by light and scanning electron microscopy were made to differentiate between C. andrassyi, a new senior synonym of Plectus telekii, and C. loricatus. Some previously unknown characters like the shape of the excretory gland duct, the number and position of somatic setae, and the epiptygmata are introduced for this differentiation. C. loricatus is found to be a junior synonym of Plectus cancellatus, which is transferred to Chiloplectus. An emended diagnosis and a revised classification of Chiloplectus are proposed, and a key to the species of the genus is provided. Plectus globilabiatus Kirjanova, 1958 and P.annulatus Maggenti, 1961 are regarded as species inquirendae. Description de deux espèces de Chiloplectus Andrássy, 1984 (Nematoda: Plectidae) d'Ukraine et une classification nouvelle pour le genre - Deux espèces du genre Chiloplectus sont décrites d'Ukraine. Des études détaillées en microscopie optique et électronique à balayage ont été conduites pour différencier C. andrassyi, un nouveau synonyme majeur de Plectus telekii, et C.loricatus. Quelques caractères jusqu'à présent inconnus comme la forme du canal de la glande excrétrice, le nombre et la position des soies céphaliques et les epiptygmes ont été utilisés pour cette différentiation. C. loricatus est considéré comme un synonyme mineur de Plectus cancellatus, lequel est transféré au genre Chiloplectus. Sont proposées une diagnose amendée et une classification révisée du genre Chiloplectus; une clef des espèces du genre est proposée. Plectus globilabiatus Kirjanova, 1958 et P.annulatus Maggenti, 1961 sont considérés comme species inquirendae.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.
