Abstract. Oolina heteromorpha Parr, 1950, the type species of the genus Heteromorphina R.W. Jones, 1984 is demonstrated to be a junior synonym of Lagena collaris Cushman, 1913. In addition, two of the three species transferred by Jones to this genus are shown to belong to other genera. From the Miocene of DSDP Site 357 (Leg 39), located on the Rio Grande Rise, a new species, Heteromorphina amplivestibulata, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by an extremely large chamberlet in comparison to the principal chamber, which has a slightly produced caudal structure with a hollow central canal.

Brazilian Species

This study concerns the diplopod genus Eucampesmella Schubart, 1955, widespread in Brazil. After this work, the genus includes 12 valid species, and three incertae sedis: E. pugiuncula (Schubart, 1946), E. brunnea Kraus, 1959 and E. schubarti Kraus, 1957. The type-species, Eucampesmella tricuspis (Attems, 1931), is redescribed based on the holotype, and the following six new Brazilian species are added: Eucampesmella macunaima sp. nov. from the states of Rondônia, Pará, and Piauí; E. capitu sp. nov. from the states of Piauí and Paraíba; E. brascubas sp. nov. from the state of Sergipe; E. iracema sp. nov. from the state of Pernambuco; E. pedrobala sp. nov. from the state of Ceará; and E. lalla sp. nov. from the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Furthermore, E. lartiguei ferrii (Schubart, 1956) is recognized as a junior synonym of E. lartiguei lartiguei (Silvestri, 1897), which also had its status changed, and E. sulcata (Attems, 1898) is revalidated, prevailing under the name Leptodesmus tuberculiporus Attems, 1898. In addition, drawings, diagnoses, and distribution maps for all species of the genus are provided.

The harvestman genus Bonea Roewer, 1914 and its type species B. sarasinorum Roewer, 1914 are redescribed based on the type material. In addition, two new species of Bonea from Hainan Island, China, are described and illustrated: B. zhui sp. nov. and B. tridigitata sp. nov. A new species of Lomanius Roewer, 1923 from Yunnan Province, China, is also described and illustrated: L. bulbosus sp. nov.. Keys to the 10 species of Bonea and the six species of Lomanius are provided. Paralomanius Goodnight & Goodnight, 1948 is revalidated from the synonymy of Lomanius, carrying as junior synonym Eulomanius Roewer, 1949, and containing two species from Micronesia (Paralomanius longipalpus Goodnight & Goodnight, 1948) and Philippines (Paralomanius mindanaoensis (Suzuki, 1977) new status). Bonea is transferred from the Ibaloniinae to Podoctinae. These are the first records of named species of Podoctidae from China.

A New Species

Sand bubbler crabs of the genus Scopimera are common on sandy shores in East Asia yet the taxonomy of the species remains unclear. Scopimera globosa De Haan, 1835, the type species, was described from Japanese specimens and also occurs in Korea and China. Scopimera tuberculata Stimpson, 1858, described from Japan, has been regarded a junior synonym of S. globosa, but the types had long been lost. Some workers have considered the two taxa distinct and S. tuberculata has been recorded from South China. In the present study, we confirm using male gonopod morphology and molecular analysis, that the early records of S. tuberculata from Hong Kong and S. globosa from Taiwan are in fact S. intermedia Balss, 1934. The present study regards S. tuberculata as a subjective junior synonym to S. globosa. A new species, Scopimera ryukyuensis sp. nov. from the Ryukyus, is identified and described herein. The new species is close to S. globosa but can be separated by carapace characters. The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene revealed basepair (bp) difference between the new species and other Scopimera spp. to be at the interspecific level, at least 28 bp (4.3%).

The genus Magulla Simon 1892 is revalidated and redescribed. The female of the type species M. obesa Simon 1892 is redescribed and the male is described for the first time. Magulla janeirus (Keyserling 1891) is considered a valid species. Magulla symmetrica Bücherl 1949 is transferred to Plesiopelma Pocock 1901, and considered a junior synonym of P. insulare (Mello-Leitão 1923). Additionally, two new species are described from Brazil: M. buecherli n. sp. from Ilhabela, São Paulo and M. brescoviti n. sp. from São Francisco de Paula, Rio Grande do Sul.

Morphological comparison of the genera Angaeus Thorell, 1881 and Paraborboropactus Tang and Li, 2009 (Araneae: Thomisidae) shows that the latter should be relegated to a junior synonym of the former. Further, I propose the following new synonyms: Angaeus leucomenus (Thorell, 1895), Stephanopis weyersi Simon, 1899 and Paraborboropactus leguminaceus Tang and Li, 2009 = Angaeus rhombifer Thorell, 1890 syn. nov., Paraborboropactus oblatus Tang and Li, 2010 = Angaeus lenticulosus Simon, 1903 syn. nov. The following species are transferred from Paraborboropactus: Angaeus canalis (Tang & Li, 2010) comb. nov., Angaeus liangweii (Tang & Li, 2010) comb. nov., Angaeus rhombus (Tang & Li, 2009) comb. nov. and Angaeus zhengi (Tang & Li, 2009) comb. nov. The holotype of Angaeus pudicus (type species of the genus) is illustrated, and the male and female of Angaeus rhombifer are redescribed and illustrated based partly on fresh material from Singapore. A new species, Angaeus christae sp. nov. is described based on both sexes, and a syntype of Angaeus comatulus Simon, 1909 is illustrated.

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.

Distictus aurantium new species, from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is described and illustrated. The validity of Distictus Townes was cladistically tested against 19 species and 60 informative characters, both with implied weighting and unweighted analyses. All cladograms recovered Distictus as monophyletic, while suggesting that it might be the sister group of the clade Lagarosoma Gupta + Prosthoporus Porter + Trypha Townes. Fenixia Aguiar is proposed as a new junior synonym of Distictus Townes, and the valid genus is transferred from Cryptina (=Ischnina) to Gabuniina. New distribution records expand the known range of D. tibialis to 17º48' latitude degrees, from Rio Grande do Sul to Goiás (Brazil).
