Tripylina contains six accepted species. Morphologically, five new species can be briefly characterized as follows: T. tearoha sp. nov., T. manurewa sp. nov. and T. tamaki sp. nov. each have a single ventromedian seta and two pairs of lateral setae in the cervical region; T. tearoha sp. nov. differs from T. tamaki sp. nov. by de Man’s Index a (25–30 vs 20– 23), and differs from T. manurewa sp. nov. by the distance of the ventromedian cervical seta from the head end (62–77 vs 78–86 μ m). T. manurewa sp. nov. differs from T. tamaki sp. nov. by de Man’s Index a (24–29 vs 20–23). Molecularly, these three new species can be differentiated by SSU & LSU analysis. Tripylina yeatesi sp. nov. and T. kaikoura sp. nov. are characterised by relatively long bodies, and the absence of ventromedian cervical setae; Tripylina yeatesi sp. nov. differs from T. kaikoura sp. nov. by de Man’s Indices: a (29–30 vs 22–23), b (5.8–6.0 vs 6.0–6.2), c (18–26 vs 14–16) and c’ (2.0–2.6 vs 2.7–3.0), respectively. Among the six previously described species, the main distinguishing features for T. arenicola and T. ursulae are their subventral stoma denticles lying posterior to the dorsal tooth, which differentiates them from T. longa, T. macroseta, T. sheri and T. stramenti. All published species also can be differentiated by: body length; values of De Man’s Indices a, b, c, c’ and V; presence or absence of setae and setal positions. A key is provided for all eleven species of the genus.

Rotylenchus castilloi n. sp., a new bisexual species is described and illustrated based on morphological, morphometric and molecular data. The new species is characterised by having a hemispherical, continuous lip region with an irregular corncob-like appearance under SEM, very long stylet (62–68 µm), vulva located at 49.7–62.2% of body length from anterior end, with a protruding double epiptygma, a rounded to convex-conoid (rarely bi-lobed) tail with 8–12 annuli and specific sequences of D2-D3 segments of 28S and ITS1-rRNA genes. Differences between the new species and four other species of the genus (R. mesorobustus, R. cazorlaensis, R. magnus and R. jaeni) are discussed. Morphologically, the new species can be separated from these species mostly by its body length, lip region characters, stylet length and location of phasmid. Phylogenetic analyses using 721 bp partial sequences of D2-D3 expansion segments of the 28S and 590 bp ITS1-rRNA genes revealed the new species forming a clade with two isolates of R. eximius and two isolates of R. unisexus, two morphologically unrelated species.

A new species of the genus Angullozetes (Oribatida: Scheloribatidae) is described from New Zealand. Angullozetes. arilloi sp. nov. differs from the type species, A. rostratus Hammer, 1967 by the smaller body length, the presence of four pairs of notogastral porose areas and the absence of aggenital setae. A revised generic diagnosis of Angullozetes is presented.

Trischistoma contains four accepted species. In this paper four more new species are added to the genus. Morphologically, these four new species can be briefly characterized as follows: T. triregius sp. nov. by having a pair of lateral cervical setae; T. otaika sp. nov. by having a post-vulval uterine sac and a prominent dorsal tooth; T. waiotama sp. nov. by having a single ventromedian cervical seta; T. tukorehe sp. nov. by having two prominent dorsal teeth and long body length. Molecularly, T. triregius sp. nov., T. otaika sp. nov., T. waiotama sp. nov. and one published species, T. monohystera can be differentiated by SSU & LSU analysis. Among the four previously described species, the main distinguishing feature for T. pellucidum and T. gracile is the absence of a postvulval uterine sac, which differentiates them from T. monohystera, and T. equatoriale. All previously described species also can be differentiated by: body length and values of De Man’s Indices a, b, c, c’ and V. A key is provided for all eight species of the genus.

Three new species of the Rhigonematida (Nematoda) are described from the posterior intestine of Orthoporus americanus from Paraguay. Heth orthopori n.sp. resembles Heth hamatus Bowie, 1985 from Eumastigonus kaorinus from New Zealand in that striae posterior to the cervical collar of the females bear rows of tiny spines; it differs from this species in that all spines in the cervical collar are of approximately the same size. Rondonema nelsonae n.sp. is most similar to the type species Rondonema rondoni Artigas, 1926 from an unidentified Brazilian diplopod in that lateral spines in the cervical region of the female are conical; it differs from this species in that these spines are much smaller, and differs from all species in the genus by the shape of the tail of the male. Rhigonema carlosi n.sp. most closely resembles Rhigonema truncatum Artigas, 1926 from an unidentified Brazilian diplopod and Rhigonema subtruncatum Dollfus, 1952 from Gymnostreptus sp. from Brazil in having a short subconical tail in the female and a short blunt tail and robust arcuate spicules in the male; it differs from both species in having at least two more pairs of caudal papillae and by the shape of the distal extremity of the spicule.

AbstractCattiena gen. n., a new genus from the Carnoyidae, is described from the posterior gut of two genera of spirobolid diplopods from Vietnam. The new genus is characterised by: presence of eight somatic spine rows in the cervical region of both male and female, the four sublateral spine rows being better developed; presence of six cuticularised plates around the female oral opening; extremely posterior vulva; two anteriorly directed ovaries; isomorphic and isometric spicules; boat-shaped gubernaculum of similar form to the spicules; gubernaculum with a dorsal hole; well developed, smooth cephalic cap in the male and 15 copulatory papillae with three pairs located lateral, sublateral or subdorsal. The new genus has morphological affinities with Raonema Kloss, 1965, a poorly known genus from India, but is easily differentiated by the extremely posterior vulva and the presence of spine rows in the male. Two new species are described in the genus: the type, C. trachelomegali gen. n., sp. n. from Trachelomegalus sp. and C. trigoniuli gen. n., sp. n. from Trigoniulus sp. The two species differ primarily in the position of the vulva (consistently more anterior in the latter species), degree of development of the vulval flap, body length, tail length and in the relative development of the somatic spine rows.

Some 2,000 Ptiliidae collected in the North and South Islands of New Zealand in 1983/1984 by Peter Hammond of the Natural History Museum, London, are determined to 34 species, four of which are new to the country. As there are very few previous records, most from the Auckland district of North Island, the Hammond collection provides much new distributional data. The three new species: Nellosana insperatus sp. n., Notoptenidium flavum sp. n., and Notoptenidium johnsoni sp. n., are described and figured; the genus Ptiliodes is moved from Acrotrichinae to Ptiliinae, and Ptenidium formicetorum Kraatz recorded as a new introduction. Information is provided to aid separation of the new species from those previously recorded.
