A new species, Paraphyllanthoxylon hainanensis, is described from the Eocene Changchang Formation of the Changchang Basin on Hainan Island, South China. It is the first record of this genus in China, providing important fossil evidence for research on the phytogeographic history of this genus. The form genus Paraphyllanthoxylon was previously only known from the Cretaceous and Neogene of North America, Mexico, France, Belgium, Japan, India and South Africa.

Abstract A new species of the copepod genus Stygiopontius is described based on samples from a cold seep in northeastern South China Sea southwest to Taiwan, which were collected by the ROV Faxian with its mother vessel R/V Kexue in September 2017. The copepods were obtained by washing Shinkaia crosnieri Baba & Williams, 1998 (Decapoda: Munidopsidae) caught at a depth of 1124 m. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characteristics: caudal rami about 3.5 times as long as wide; basis of maxilliped with plumose seta, endopodal claw of maxilliped stout, with a row of fine spinules on inner margin; coxa of leg 1 with one inner seta; basis of leg 1 with stout spine exceeding to end of first endopodal segment; second endopodal segment of female leg 4 with pointed process; third exopodal segment of leg 4 with three outer spines. This is the first record of a Stygiopontius species from a cold seep.

A New Species

A new species of Cladochaeta Coquillett (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is described, C. caxiuana sp. nov. from the Brazilian Amazon, based on 10 male and 10 female specimens obtained from nymphs of Sphodroscarta trivirgata (Amyot & Serville, 1843) (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Aphrophoridae). The female of Cladochaeta atlantica Pirani & Amorim, 2016 is described based on specimens reared from spider egg sacs of the spider Cryptachaea migrans (Keyserling, 1884) (Araneae: Theridiidae) obtained in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. This is the first record of this fly genus attacking a spider egg sac. The species Cladochaeta sororia (Williston, 1896) is recorded for the first time from Brazil, based on specimens collected in an urban garden in the Amazon. In addition, an unidentified female specimen of Cladochaeta Coquillett, 1900 was obtained from the cocoon of a spider wasp of the genus Notocyphus Smith (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae).

A New Species

The first species for the genus Adelosgryllus Mesa & Zefa, 2004 recorded in caves is herein described. We used the morphology of the phallic complex as the main criteria to differentiate this species from the congeneric ones. In addition, we discussed the natural history of the new species, some aspects of its association to the cave habitats, and the intraspecific variation of the right tegmen observed in two populations of this new species.

A New Species

Within recent years a considerable amount of work has been done on the Myxosporidia, especially, as pointed out by Kudo (1919), in North America, Asia, and to a lesser degree in Japan (Fugita, 1912, 1913, 1925). Few investigations, however, have been carried out in Australia, and consequently very little is known concerning the distribution of the group in this country. There appear to be as yet only two contributions to the subject, papers by T. Harvey Johnston and M. J. Bancroft (1918, 1919). As far as can be ascertained, my paper is the first report concerning Myxosporidia from fishes of Southern Australian waters, and contains the first record of a species of Chloromyxum from Australia.

A new species of the family Stenothoidae,Wallametopa cylindricasp. nov., is described from samples collected in 2015 in the Knysna Estuary, Western Cape, South Africa. This is the first record of the genusWallametopain South Africa, a genus now being represented by two species found in Africa, Madagascar and Australia.Wallametopa cylindricais closely related to the Australian and MadagascanW. cabonBarnard, 1974, from which it differs by having a distinct cylindrical elongation of the merus of gnathopod 1 in both sexes but more striking in males. Both the basis and the merus of gnathopod 2 are also acutely produced postero-distally. The palmar margin of the propodus of gnathopod 2 in males is strongly, irregularly incised and with a deep, broad excavation (larger male). The dactylus reaches the whole length of the propodus and is densely setose on the inner margin.

AbstractThe adult, pupa, and final-instar larva of Trichothaumalea elakalensis sp.nov. (Diptera: Thaumaleidae) are described and illustrated. This is the first record of this genus from eastern North America and first description of the immature stages. In addition, reinterpretation of the homologies of the male terminalia and preliminary observations on the male reproductive system of Thaumaleidae are presented and the phylogenetic implications upon the monophyly of the Chironomoidea are discussed.

A New Species

A new species of the sphenacodontid synapsid Dimetrodon, D. teutonis, is described on the basis of a single, adult specimen consisting of a large portion of the presacral vertebral column. The holotype was collected from the Lower Permian Tambach Formation, lowermost formational unit of the Upper Rotliegend, of the Bromacker quarry locality in the midregion of the Thuringian Forest near Gotha, central Germany. This is the first record of the genus outside of North America and, therefore, provides not only additional biological evidence of a continuous Euramerican landmass during the Early Permian, but also the absence of any major physical or biological barrier to faunal interchange of terrestrial vertebrates. An estimated weight of 14 kg for D. teutonis is half that of the smallest, previously recognized species, D. natalis. Sphenacodontid phylogeny indicates that the diminutive size of D. teutonis represents an autapomorphy and is in general accord with the absence of large-sized, basal synapsid predators at this truly terrestrial upland locality. It is speculated that the diminutive size of D. teutonis was probably an adaptation to a truly terrestrial, relatively uplands existence like that represented by the Bromacker locality. Here it subsisted on small vertebrates (and possibly large invertebrates) of the Bromacker assemblage, in which the dominant members in both size and abundance were herbivorous diadectids, and it was unlikely to encounter large predators.
