Pterocephalus ramianensis (Caprifoliaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Golestan Province, north Iran. This species is morphologically and micromorphologically well-differentiated from P. plumosus. The characters that distinguish this new species from P. plumosus are provided along with a key to the Iranian annual species in Pterocephalus.

The taxonomic position of Scythris pangalactis and its synonymy with S. pelinaula is discussed. A new species is describedfrom SE Iran, S. tridentata Passerin d’Entrèves & Roggero sp. nov. The S. tridentata species-group is established with the redescription of S. pelinaula. A lectotype for S. pangalactis is selected.

Draba ancashensis is described, illustrated, and its relationship to the other species of the genus, especially the Peruvian, is discussed. A key to the 26 (17 endemic) native Peruvian species of Draba is provided to facilitate the easy determination of species. Status of two annual species of Draba is evaluated. Distribution of the species at the department level is also given.

Dendronotus patricki, sp. nov. is a new species collected from a whalefall in the Monterey Canyon, California. This new species is characterised by having a small number of dorsal appendages compared with similarly sized species of Dendronotus Alder & Hancock, 1845. Anatomically, D. patricki, sp. nov. has a small prostate with just a few alveoli, a very small seminal receptacle situated near the distal end of the vagina, and a relatively short and small ampulla. The rachidian radular teeth of D. patricki, sp. nov. are unique among Dendronotus as they have a well differentiated, conical cusp with very small denticles on either side, but most denticles are located on the sides of the teeth, rather than on the sides of the cusp. Dendronotus patricki, sp. nov., is genetically distinct from other species of Dendronotus for which sequence data are available. A phylogenetic analysis of Dendronotus based on COI, 16S, and H3 sequence data reveals that D. patricki, sp. nov. forms a polytomy with Dendronotus orientalis (Baba, 1932) and a clade of the shallow temperate and cold water species. The tropical Indo-Pacific species D. regius Pola & Stout, 2008 is the sister group to all other Dendronotus species.

Sinosenecio ovatifolius (Asteraceae, Senecioneae), a new species occurring in northeastern Guangxi, China, is illustrated and de-scribed with report on its floral micromorphological characters, achene surface feature and chromosome number. The new spe-cies is phylogenetically close to S. guangxiensis, S. jiangxiensis, S. jiuhuashanicus, S. latouchei, S. peltatus, S. saxatilis, and S. wuyiensis. Morphology and sequence divergence of the nrITS region indicate that S. ovatifolius is well differentiated from its close relatives. It most closely resembles S. guangxiensis and S. latouchei in the scapigerous habit, leaf texture and indumentum, but differs markedly in the ovate lamina, inconspicuously undulate-dentate margin and glabrous and smooth achene surface.

Abstract. Globorotalia bouregregensis, n. sp., is described and documented from the latest Miocene-early Pliocene sequence of the Rifian Seaway, northwest Morocco. By its short stratigraphic distribution, persistence and distinctive morphologic features, the new taxon is well differentiated within the scituline assemblage.

A new annual species of Drosera section Arachnopus, Drosera margaritacea, from the western Kimberley region (Western Australia) is described and illustrated, including detailed comparisons with the morphologically most similar species, D. finlaysoniana. The latter name is lectotypified here. The global range of D. finlaysoniana is provided, including a doubtful first record for Thailand, while the species, in contrast with statements made in some published references, does not occur in India, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Additionally, the first record from Indonesia of the frequently misidentified D. aquatica is reported.

During a faunistic survey on eriophyoid mites associated with weeds in Golestan province of Iran, four eriophyoid species were collected. A new species, Aculops hyperisaemum sp. nov., was found on Hypericum androsaemum L. (Hypericaceae) and herein described and illustrated. Paraphytoptus paradoxus Nalepa, 1896, Aceria lamii (Liro, 1943) and Aceria verbenacae de Lillo et al., 2017, were found respectively on Artemisia absinthium L. (Asteraceae), Lamium album L. and Salvia nemorosa L. (Lamiaceae) and are reported for the first time in Iran. Aculops hyperisaemum sp. nov. and A. lamii were vagrant on the underside of the leaves of their host plants and no symptoms were detected. Aceria lamii is redescribed using modern microscopy and terminology. Paraphytoptus paradoxus was vagrant on the leaf underside and caused discoloration of the leaves; this is the first record of Paraphytoptus from Iran. Aceria verbenacae induced erinea on leaves, petioles, stems and flowers on a new host plant species.

A new species of tarsonemid mite, Steneotarsonemus amlisoae sp. nov. collected from tiger grass Thysanolaena latifolia (Poaceae) is described with illustrations of adult female, male and larva. The new species is the fourth species of Steneotarsonemus described from India. The species shares a lot of similarities with S. konoi but differ by apodeme architecture, cheliceral structure, setal length and positions. A taxonomic note on subgenus Steneotarsonemoides is provided.

A new species of Tagetes, T. imbricata, is described and photographed. This species that grows in northwestern Argentina and Bolivia is characterized by annual habit, lax terminal corymbiform inflorescences, partially purplish 5-lobed involucres, and imbricated ray flowers with yellowish-white corollas. A taxonomic description complemented with photographs and a map of geographical distribution is provided. In addition, a detailed comparison of the new species and its closely morphologically similar species is also presented, as well as a key to differentiate annual species of Tagetes that grow in northwestern Argentina and Bolivia.

During our studies on the Diptera fauna of the Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forest, Golestan province, Iran, a new species of the genus Clistoabdominalis (Pipunculidae) was identified. In the present paper we name, describe and illustrate Clistoabdominalis hyrcania sp. nov.. An identification key to the males of the Clistoabdominalis ruralis species group from the Western Palaearctic region is provided.
