The distribution of Anthus nattereri, an endangered species, is extended at least 170 km to the north of the nearest locality in southeastern Brazil. New records of five individuals are provided from the municipality of Itabirito, within the Quadrilátero Ferrífero region, Minas Gerais state. Anthus nattereri was photographed and tape-recorded, sometimes in sympatry with Anthus hellmayri, a species it closely resembles. Records were made mostly on burnt open grasslands (“campos limpos”) making the conservation of this species a difficult task.

Dunns’ mud turtle Kinosternon dunni is recognized only from a few localities in the drainages of the San Juan, Baudó and Docampadó Rivers in Chocó, Colombia. We report on the occurrence of the species in three new localities in a different drainage, two in the Atrato River drainage, which flows into the Caribbean Sea, and a third locality in the Gulf of Urabá, in the Colombian Caribbean. These new records extend the range of the species approximately 367 km to the north of the closest previous confirmed record.

Water mites from Southern Argentinean streams, from Neuquén Province in the north to Tierra del Fuego Province in the south, were examined. One new genus is described, viz. Andesobates as well as three new species, viz. Anisitsiellides australis, Protolimnesia (Protolimnesia) pampaensis and Andesobates longipalpis. New observations are made for a number of other species, some of these new records representing a considerable range extension. Finally, additional illustrations are provided for Protolimnesia longa Besch.

Ten species of deep-water Pycnogonida are recorded, mainly from the north-eastern Atlantic Basin. Of particular interest are Ascorhynchus abyssi Sars (new to the British Isles), Colossendeis arcuata A. Milne Edwards (northernmost record in European waters), C. bicinc0ta Schimkewitsch (third Atlantic record, depth range increased), C. macerrima Wilson (new records from the English Channel), Nymphon laterospinum Stock (new to the Indian Ocean), Pallenopsis (Bathypallenopsis) oscitans (Hoek) (new to the English Channel and bathymetrical range extension), P. (B.) tritonis Hoek (extension of depth range), P. (B.) tydemani caraibica Stock (second European record, now found at the entrance of the English Channel), and Anoplodactylus arnaudae Stock (range extended to the Rockall Trench).

Acanthonus armatus Günther, 1878 is reported for the first time in the southwestern Caribbean region, off Colombia. Remote Operate Vehicle videos and towed camera still photographs captured 13 images of A. armatus between 2215 and 2564 m. These are the first records of the species in the Caribbean continental coast of Colombia, representing a range extension to the southwestern Caribbean region, since previous records are from the northeastern Caribbean. Some photos of the specimens and the current distribution of the species in the Caribbean region are provided and reviewed.

We present new records of larvae and adult fish from the family Callionymidae in the Colombian Pacific coast. Larvae and juvenile of Synchiropus atrilabiatus (Garman 1899), expands its distribution range within this coast (between Tumaco in the South to the border with Panama in the North), presenting low to medium abundances in September-October 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and February-March 2006, 2014. Larvae were always collected at stations 54 km away from the coast. Adults of S. atrilabiatus were collected as bycatch from the deep-sea shrimp fishing fleet between 67-700 m depth at Bahía Cupica in 1995 and Arusí in 2005.

We report three new records of the snake Leptophis diplotropis from the southeastern and northern regions of Hidalgo State, México. These records represent the first observations of this species in the state of Hidalgo, and represent a range extension of 122.7 km north from the nearest record in Tochimilco, Puebla, México. These new records of L. diplotropis represent the best knowledge of its distribution in the Sierra Madre Oriental.
