Eudendrium pocaruquarum , a new species of athecate hydroid referable to the family Eudendriidae, is described from the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The species is very similar to the widespread Eudendrium ramosum (Linnaeus, 1758), differing from it in the smaller size of the large microbasic euryteles. Longstanding problems in the systematics of eudendriid hydroids are noted, and the inadequacies of many early descriptions of species are discussed. The nematocysts provide a supplementary character for discrimination of species of Eudendrium, although information on the cnidome appears to have been sometimes misinterpreted in literature.

A new species of Branchiomaldane was identified in a collection of polychaetes living in colonies of a stony coral. Branchiomaldane maryae sp. nov. differs from all other species of the genus by the presence of lensed eyes and 1–3 branchial filaments per parapodium. Comparisons between B. maryae sp. nov. and the other species of the genus are provided, together with some phylogenetic considerations on the position of the genus.

Fissimentum mendesi n. sp. é descrita e ilustrada com base em machos coletados com armadilhas luminosas em duas localidades no estado de São Paulo, Brasil. A nova espécie é aparentemente relacionada a F. desiccatum Cranston & Nolte, 1996 e F. guairense Pinho & Froehlich, 2011 por apresentar uma projeção posterior no tergito IX, mas pode ser facilmente separada de seus congêneres pela combinação de uma volsela superior curta, robusta, uniformemente curva, e AR em torno de 1,5. Uma chave revisada para os machos do gênero é fornecida.

Description of a new species of Diaptomidae (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida) Notodiaptomus oliveirai is given from the material obtained at a reservoir at Barra Bonita, SP in 1992. The new species is very similar to Notodiaptomus henseni Dahl 1894 although both species can be found in the same locality, constituting two distinct populations. Notodiaptomus oliveirai seems to be endowed with great adaptability to changes in environmental conditions, extending its distribution to all the hydrographic basins in the state of São Paulo.

Adelopsis diabolica, new species (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae: Ptomaphagini) is described from Boracéia Biological Station, São Paulo State, Brazil. The apex of the male aedeagus is uniquely armed and diagnostic. Females have slightly expanded protarsomeres (less expanded than those of males), a very rare feature in the family.

A new species of scale worm, Pholoides brasiliensis sp. nov., belonging to the family Sigalionidae, has been found in Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo States, south-east Brazil. The new species is mainly characterized by a long papilla in the subdistal region of the neuropodia and a prominent papilla on the ventral side of the tentaculophore. Pholoides remains species-poor compared to most Sigalionidae genera, and currently comprises four species.

Twenty-one species of Acoela, including seven new species and one new subspecies, are reported from the northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The species include two from the family Actinoposthiidae (Philactinoposthia coneyi sp. nov., P. stylifera brasiliensis subsp. nov.), three from Convolutidae (Amphiscolops evelinae, Convoluta henseni, Heterochaerus sargassi), three from Haploposthiidae (Haplogonaria sophiae sp. nov., Kuma albiventer, K. asilhas sp. nov.), eight from Isodiametridae (Archaphanostoma marcusi sp. nov., Avagina marci, Isodiametra divae, I. vexillaria, I. westbladi, Pseudaphanostoma divae, P. herringi sp. nov., Unnamed Species 1), one from Mecynostomidae (Eumecynostomum evelinae), three from Otocelididae (Haplocelis dichona, Otocelis erinae, sp. nov., Philocelis robrochai sp. nov.) and one from Paratomellidae (Paratomella rubra). The genera Haplocelis and Otocelis from the defunct family Otocelididae are reassigned to the family Isodiametridae.
