AbstractThis paper treats the Chinese species of Euplectromorpha Girault. Nine valid species are recognized and a key to species is provided. Five species were previously known from China: E. breviealcar (Lin), E. clavata (Lin), E. contingens (Lin), E. interrupta (Lin), and E. simplicicornis (Lin). E. inaequalis (Lin) is proposed as a new synonym of E. brevicalcar. One species is newly recorded from China: E. bicarinata (Ferrière). Three new species, E. conjuncta, E. triangularis, and E. acuticlavata, are described and compared with related species. One new combination is proposed, Aroplectrus areolatus (Ferrière), transferred from Neoplectrus.

The Brazilian species of Bittacus Latreille (Mecoptera: Bittacidae) are reviewed and one new synonym is proposed (Thyridates willmanni Collucci & Amorin syn. n. of Bittacus diversinervis Souza Lopes & Mangabeira). Three new species are herein described: Bittacus cruzi sp. n. from Amazonas, Presidente Figueiredo and Manaus, B. ferreirai sp. n. from Bahia, Aracatu and B. varzeanus sp. n. from Amazonas, Tefé, bringing the current number of Bittacus species in Brazil to 18. Illustrations, comments, and distribution maps of each species are presented. An identification key to the Brazilian genera of Mecoptera and Bittacus species is also presented.

Neotropical Species

The identity of many Neotropical species of Pseudisobrachium Kieffer, 1904 is currently unreachable, mostly because the available descriptions and illustrations are not sufficiently accurate to allow precise identifications. To help solve the problem, 115 valid species and their junior synonyms were examined. Twelve nomenclatural acts are made, and 110 valid species are recognized for the Neotropical region. Two lectotypes are designated: Pristocera crassicornis Westwood and Pristocera haemorrhoidalis Westwood. Seven new species-group synonyms are proposed: Pseudisobrachium retusum Evans syn. nov. for P. pauxillum Evans; P. cunco Perez syn. nov. for P. erythrocephalum Evans; P. navajo Evans, P. rectangulatum Evans, P. emarginatum Evans and P. foutsi Evans syn. nov. for P. flavinervis Fouts; P. acuminatum Waichert & Azevedo syn. nov. for P. latum Waichert & Azevedo. The following new genus-group synonym is established: Parisobrachium Kieffer syn. nov. for Dissomphalus Ashmead. The following new combination and reinstated name are proposed: Dissomphalus albipes (Kieffer) comb. nov. and nom. rev. from Pseudisobrachium paraguayense Kieffer.

Parasitic Isopod

Three new species in the parasitic isopod genus Bopyrissa Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1931, recorded from Kiribati, the Mariana Islands and French Polynesia, are described. These three species, B. distorta sp. nov., B. guamensis sp. nov. and B. oceania sp. nov., are the first species of the genus recorded from Oceania, occurring on three different hermit crab host species of genus Calcinus. The diversity of the genus is therefore increased to ten species. Bopyrissa distorta sp. nov. can be distinguished from congeners by the markedly distorted sinistral body of females and fused pleon of males. Bopyrissa guamensis sp. nov. differs from other dextral species of Bopyrissa in having a strikingly tuberculated edge to the pleomeres of females. Bopyrissa oceania sp. nov. differs from related species in that females possess eyes and that the barbula has smooth falcate projections on each side. A key to the ten species of Bopyrissa is presented, together with a tabular summary of their known geographic and host ranges.

Concise Description

Twenty-three new species of the genus Calolydella Townsend, 1927 (Diptera: Tachinidae) are described, all reared from multiple species of wild-caught caterpillars across a wide variety of families (Lepidoptera: Crambidae; Erebidae; Geometridae; Hesperiidae; Lycaenidae; Nymphalidae; Pieridae; Riodinidae; and Sphingidae). All caterpillars were collected within Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), in northwestern Costa Rica. This study provides a concise description of each new species using morphology, life history, molecular data, and photographic documentation. In addition to the new species, we also provide a generic redescription and revised key to species of the genus Calolydella from Central and South America. The following 23 new species of Calolydella are described by Fleming and Wood: C. adelinamoralesaesp. n., C. alexanderjamesisp. n., C. argenteasp. n., C. aureofaciessp. n., C. bicolorsp. n., C. bifissussp. n., C. crocatasp. n., C. destitutasp. n., C. discalissp. n., C. erasmocoronadoisp. n., C. felipechavarriaisp. n., C. fredriksjobergisp. n., C. inflatipalpissp. n., C. interruptasp. n., C. nigripalpissp. n., C. omissasp. n., C. ordinalissp. n., C. renemalaiseisp. n., C. susanaroibasaesp. n., C. tanyadapkeyaesp. n., C. tenebrosasp. n., C. timjamesisp. n., C. virginiajamesaesp. n.Lydella frugale Curran, 1934 is proposed as a new synonym of Pygophorinia peruviana Townsend, 1927, syn. n., under the combination Calolydella frugale (Curran, 1934), comb. n.

A New Species

Both sexes of a new species, Stylicletodes wellsi sp. nov. (Harpacticoida: Cletodidae), are described from material collected from sediments in the East China Sea. The new species belongs to a species group whose members are characterized by an anal operculum that has a backwardly directed, median linguiform process and fifth legs that display naked or sparsely pinnate armature elements in both sexes. Within this group, S. wellsi sp. nov. is morphologically closest to S. reductus Wells, 1965 but differs primarily from its European congener in the armature pattern of P4 (both rami) and the female P5. Distribution records of all species are summarized and an updated identification key to the seven valid species in the genus is presented. Taxonomic issues related to the type species S. longicaudatus (Brady, 1880) are briefly discussed.
