Two new Mesoamerican species of the papilionoid legume genus Harpalyce are described and illustrated. Harpalyce torresii São-Mateus & M. Sousa occurs in Belize and Mexico, whereas Harpalyce yucatanense Miranda ex São-Mateus & M. Sousa seems to be narrowly endemic to the Yucatan Peninsula. The discovery of these two new species highlights the diversity of Harpalyce in Mesoamerica.

Thirty-eight species of Nepticulidae are known from the Yucatán Peninsula and adjacent areas (mainland Mexico and Be-lize). This paper describes two new species: Stigmella maya Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov. (a leaf-miner of Karwinskia hum-boldtiana, Rhamnaceae), and Acalyptris yucatani Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov. (a leaf-miner of Schinus sp., Anacardiaceae). S. maya is among the smallest Lepidoptera in the world. In its male genitalia S. maya resembles a sizeable group of undescribed species occurring in the Andes (Patagonia: Argentina). The adults of both new species are illustrated with photographs of adults, genitalia and leaf-mines.

A new species of Triacanthoneus Anker, 2010 is described from an anchialine cave near Akumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico.Triacanthoneus akumalensis sp. nov., is the fourth species in the genus and can be distinguished from the previously de-scribed species by the position of the sharp lateral teeth on the carapace, the length and shape of the rostrum, the eyes beingcompletely concealed by the carapace, the dentition of the major chela fingers, and the shape of the telson. The presenceof a pleural process in the new species represents a new character for the genus. The description of T. akumalensis sp. nov. increases the number of caridean genera having representatives in the anchialine systems of the Yucatan Peninsula to 11.

A new species ofCirolanaLeach, 1818, collected from Cenote Aerolito, Cozumel Island, Mexican Caribbean, is described.Cirolana(Anopsilana)adrianisp. nov. has a body 2.7× as long as wide, widest at pereonites 5-6; cephalon smooth, with small rostral point; pereonites without tubercles or ridges; antenna 2 not surpassing back of segment 2 of pereon; pleonite 4 lacking free ventrolateral margins; pleotelson as long as wide, smooth, with 9 distal robust setae; appendix masculina extremely long, 2× as long as endopod of pleopod 2. The main differences between the new species and the marine speciesCirolana(Anopsilana)jonesi(Kensley, 1987) andC.(A.)sinu(Kensley & Schotte, 1994), as well as the stygobitic speciesC.(A.)yucatanaBotosaneanu & Iliffe, 2000, the most similar known species ofCirolana(Anopsilana) in the region, are described. This is the second isopod of the genusCirolanarecorded from the karstic systems of the Yucatan Peninsula.

AbstractA new species of Nebalia is described from Ría Lagartos in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, increasing the number of described species in this genus to 13. The species closely resembles a complex of species recognized for the tropical western Atlantic that will need further study. The importance of the shape of the denticles on the dorsal plconal segments 6 and 7 as a taxonomical character is discussed.

Stephanosporamayana is presented as a new species from the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. This species is distinguished by the yellowish pileus, basidiospores with a small corona (4–6 × 1–2.5 µm), and variable size (8.0–17.0 × 6.0–11.0), thin pileus (21–40 µm) and the ecological association to lowland forest with Haematoxylumcampechianum, Gymnopodiumfloribundum, Coccolobadiversifolia, Metopiumbrownei and Pinuscaribaea. It differs from the American species of Stephanospora, like S.michoacanensis and S.chilensis, by its larger basidiospores. Descriptions, photographs and discussions are presented.
