Currently, the superfamily Axioidea Huxley, 1879 includes nine families (Sakai, 2011). However, recent examination of material from the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica, Pacific side, presented the occurrence of a new species, Neoaxius nicoyaensis gen. et sp. nov. The deviant morphology of the genital organs of this new species can nowhere be observed in any of the known genera of the families included in the Axioidea. This necessitated the author to establish a new family, Neoaxiidae fam. nov., based on the new genus Neoaxius gen. nov. The new family is safely included in the Axioidea as a tenth member of that superfamily.

The infraorder Thalassinidea Latreille, 1831 [sensu stricto] includes three families: Thalassinidae Latreille, 1831; Upogebiidae Borradaile, 1903; and Laomediidae De Haan, 1849 (cf. Sakai & Sawada, 2006). However, recent examination of material from Kuwait in the Pershian Gulf, showed the occurence of a new species,Kuwaitupogebia nithyanandangen. et sp. nov., and this has made it possible to establish a new family, Kuwaitupogebiidae fam. nov., based on that new genus. The genusUpogebiaLeach, 1814 is known to include nine species from the Red Sea area, yet herein two new species,Upogebiaspongicolasp. nov. from the Reef at Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt, andUpogebia jizanensissp. nov. from off Jizan, Saudi Arabia, Red Sea, can be added, based on material lodged in the collections of the museum in Frankfurt a. M.

The superfamily Callianassoidea Dana, 1852 currently includes ten families (Sakai, 2011). However, recent examination of material from Tosa-Saga, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, presented the occurrence of a new species,Tosacallianassa hatasagaensisgen. et sp. nov. The deviant morphology of the new taxon shows elements of the families Anacalliacidae Manning & Felder, 1991, Callianassidae Dana, 1852, and Callianopsidae Manning & Felder, 1991 (cf. sensu nov. in Sakai, 2011). This necessitated the author to also establish a new family, Tosacallianassidae, based on the new genus. The new family is additionally included in the Callianassoidea Dana, 1852 as an eleventh member of that superfamily.

A New Species

Fourteen new species and six new genera of the molluscan class Monoplacophora are described from the Upper Cambrian Potosi and Eminence formations and the Lower Ordovician Gasconade Formation of the Ozark Uplift of Missouri and some new biostratigraphic horizons are introduced. A new superfamily, the Hypseloconellacea nom. trans. Knight, 1956, and a new family, the Shelbyoceridae, are named. The genus Proplina is represented by five new species: P. inflatus, P. suttoni from the Cambrian Potosi Formation, P. arcua from the Cambrian Eminence Formation and P. meramecensis and P. sibeliusi from the Lower Ordovician Gasconade Formation. A new genus and species in the subfamily Proplininae, Ozarkplina meramecensis, is described from the Upper Cambrian Eminence Formation. Four new monoplacophoran genera in the superfamily Hypseloconellacea and their species are described, including: Cambrioconus expansus, Orthoconus striatus, Cornuella parva from the Eminence Formation, and Gasconadeoconus ponderosa, G. waynesvillensis, G. expansus from the Gasconade Formation. A new genus in the new family Shelbyoceridae, Archeoconus missourensis, is described from the Eminence Formation and a new species of Shelbyoceras, S. bigpineyensis, is described from the Gasconade Formation.

A New Species

Rehn (1916) described Metriomantis planicephala Rehn, 1916 on the basis of one male and one female collected in Cearà Mirim, State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, by the Stanford Expedition to that country in 1911. The new species had several distinct autopomorphies, such as a stout, short, granulated pronotum and a characteristically shaped head, among other unique features. The species remained as a member of Metriomantis but generally was overlooked over the years, even being omitted from Terra’s checklist of Neotropical Mantodea (Terra 1995). Recently, Lombardo (1999) published an important contribution on Metriomantis, which helped to clarify the confusing taxonomic situation of this genus, considered until then as a subgenus of Photina Burmeister, 1838. In the same publication, Lombardo (1999) created a new genus, Rehniella, to accommodate the clearly misplaced M. planicephala. However, the name Rehniella was already in use as it was first created by Hebard (1928) to accommodate a new species of cricket (Rehniella glaphyra Hebard, 1928) from Costa Rica. This case of homonymy was recently detected almost simultaneously by Koçak & Kemal (2008) and Ozdikmen (2008), who independently solved this nomenclatural issue by proposing replacement names for Rehniella Lombardo, 1999: Colombiella, proposed by Koçak & Kemal (2008) and Lombardoa, proposed by Ozdikmen (2008). The name Colombiella was published in May, 2008, whereas Lombardoa was published in June of the same year. Because Colombiella had priority over Lombardoa, Koçak (2008) established the new synonymy.

Inti gen. nov. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Entedoninae), is described from Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, and includes one new species, I. levis sp. nov. The new genus is characterized by four autapomorphies, and the possession of an additional 14 synapomorphies. Inti is compared to the Australian genus Horismenoides Girault with which it shares the most apomorphies, indicating a possible sister-group relationship. The relationship of Inti to the tribe Euderomphalini and to other groups in the subfamily is discussed briefly.

New taxa of the family Ropalomeridae from Costa Rica are described, and additional records of ropalomerid flies fromMexico and Central America are provided. The new genus and species Acrocephalomyia zumbadoi can be easily distin-guished from all other ropalomerid genera by the following combination of characters: angular forward projection of head,absence of ocelli, flat face, bare arista, long scutum, and scutellum triangular-shaped and dorsally flattened with only onepair of apical bristles with bases approximated. The new species Ropalomera aterrima can be recognized from congenersby remarkable differences of the head, the shape of the scutellum, the absence of scutal vittae, fumose wings, and by theblack coloration of the body, ocellar bristles large, one postpronotal bristle, scutum without pollinose vittae and flat scutellum. Lenkokroeberia chryserea Prado and Kroeberia fuliginosa Lindner are newly confirmed for Costa Rica.

Two new cestodes of the family Hymenolepididae are described from two species of rodents of the family Geomyidae collected in Mexico and Costa Rica. One new species of Hymenolepis is described from Cratogeomys planiceps Merriam 1895 from near Toluca, Mexico and another that we allocate to a new genus is described from Heterogeomys heterodus (Peters, 1865) from near Irazú Volcano, Costa Rica. Hymenolepis s. str. includes those Hymenolepididae with an apical organ, with no hooks on suckers or apical organ, and three testes. Hobergia irazuensis n. gen., n. sp. includes a hymenolepidid with an apical organ, unarmed scolex, small pockets termed foveolae, in which the suckers completely retract, and extremely bi-lobed ovary. Multivariate morphometric analysis showed good separation of these species from all other hymenolepidids possessing an apical organ and lacking a well developed rostellum and rostellar hooks in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions.
