Species of Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) are ectoparasitoids of larvae and pupae of holometabolous insects, primarily of Hymenoptera in their larval stages. Herein we present the third case of an association between the mantidfly genus Anchieta Navás, 1909 with the order Hymenoptera. The hymenopteran species attacked by the as of yet undescribed species of Anchieta is Montezumia dimidiata Saussure, 1852 (Vespidae: Eumeninae), a predacious wasp that constructs mud nests. The association was observed in Peruvian Amazonia (near Tarapoto, San Martín), after rearing the mantidflies from a wasp nest. The biology and mimicry pattern with stingless bees of the reared Anchieta species is discussed.

The taxonomic status of the monotypic genus Scleroplax Rathbun, 1893, is evaluated and separated from other genera of the Pinnixa White, 1846, complex. Distinguishing characters of Scleroplax are a hard, subheptagonal and dorsally, highly convex carapace, and a third maxilliped with a propodus that extends to the end of the dactylus. The genera Scleroplax, Pinnixa, Austinixa Heard & Manning, 1997, Glassella Campos & Wicksten, 1997, Indopinnixa Manning & Morton, 1987, and Tetrias Rathbun, 1898, share a carapace than is wider than long and a distinct lateral exopod lobe on the third maxilliped, all of which may represent monophyletic characters. Updated information on the distribution and hosts of S. granulata Rathbun, 1893, indicate that the species now ranges from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada to El Coyote estuary, Punta Abreojos, Baja California Sur, México. It inhabits burrows of the echiuroid Urechis caupo Fisher & MacGinitie, 1928, and the mud shrimps Neotrypaea californiensis (Dana, 1854), N. gigas (Dana, 1852) (new host record), Upogebia pugettensis (Dana, 1852), and occasionally U. macginiteorum Williams, 1986 (new host record).

Contracaecum Osculatum

From Phoca vitulina richardi the following parasites are recorded: Corynosoma strumosum (Acanthocephala); Terranova decipiens and Contracaecum osculatum (Nematoda); Halarachne sp. (Acarina); Echinophthirius horridus (Anoplura). From Eumetopias jubata are recorded Diphyllobothrium pacificum, Diplogonoporus tetrapterus and Abothrium gadi (Cestoda); T. decipiens, C. osculatum and Parafilaroides sp. (Nematoda); Corynosoma villosum (Acanthocephala); Orthohalarachne diminuata (Acarina): Antarctophthirus microchir (Anoplura). E. jubata is probably not a true host of A. gadi, the parasite apparently being introduced by ingestion of infected fishes of the family Gadidae, the normal definitive hosts. Notes on host and geographical distribution, nomenclature and morphology of the parasites are included. Diphyllobothrium pacificum is a new combination for Adenocephalus pacificus. E. jubata is a new host record for D. pacificum, D. tetrapterus and O. diminuata. Several new geographical records are reported. The occurrence of larval stages of T. decipiens and C. strumosum in fishes is noted.

The present study provides a new insight into valuable information on the diverse structure of the Anisakid population and discusses the limited species richness in the Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch,1791) (Perciformes, Nemiperidae). The fishing area consists of various locations in the Arabian Gulf (29°58 0 33 00 N48°28 0 20 E). A total of 315 marine fish were examined, (n=287) were infected. Larval stages (n= 763) encysted within the mesenteries peritoneum and viscera of fish organs were isolated, with a prevalence of 91.11% of infection and, the intensity was 2.65. Molecular analysis was carried out on thirty individuals who have examined the morphology and showed some appearance differences, by amplifying internal transcribed spacers ITS and ITS-1 of nuclear rDNA (rDNA) by PCR using the primer sets NC5/NC2 and SS1/NC13R of thirteen DNA products. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA X. based on the identity percentage in the GenBank database showed that they belong to anisakid nematodes, in particular, they belong to eleven distinct taxa within the Hysterothylacium Ward & Magath, 1917 (Rhabditida, Raphidascarididae) and one identified species H. amoyense (Hsü, 1933) Deardorff & Overstreet, 1980. The current study records eleven species that belong to a genus of Hysterothylacium; some of the alignment of sequences polymorphisms reveals new different individuals of larvae species that may be adopted as new species if their adult stage is detected, and N. japonicus fish considered as a new host record. The current study provides some insights on the systematic taxonomy of these parasites, in addition, it supports similar studies that have been published elsewhere.

Summary Population of Iranolacerta brandtii lizard including 56 (21♀, 34♂, 1 juvenile) samples were examined for helminths. 17 of them were found to harbour one or more helminth parasites, while 39 didn’t harbor any. Two helminth species were determined. These belong to Phylum: Nematoda, Spauligodon aloisei Casanova, Milazzo, Ribas & Cagnin, 2003 and Skrjabinodon medinae. García-Calvente, 1948. This study represents new host and locality records in both host lizard and the helminth species. Sp. aloisei is recorded for the first time; Sk. medinae is the third report from Turkey nevertheless Sk. medinae is a new host record for I. brandtii.

A novel species, Micropeltis goniothalamicola and a new record Scolecopeltidium menglaense were collected from Mae Fah Luang Botanical Gardens, Thailand. Our new taxon is different from other species in Micropeltis in having relatively smaller ascomata, 6–8-spored asci and 4–5-septate ascospores covering with mucilaginous sheath. Our new record, S. menglaense is the first host recorded from Jasmine grandiflorum (Oleaceae). Morphological comparison coupled with phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU and ITS sequence data provide evidence for the new species and new host record.
