Distinguishing Features

In this study Chone americana Day, 1973 from off the coast of North Carolina is redescribed and five new species are described from the Grand Caribbean region, as part of a revision of the genus. Chone americana is easily distinguishable from the other species by the presence of a pygidial cirrus, a radiolar membrane extending beyond half of the branchial crown length and long-sized radiolar tips. The unique distinguishing features for each new species are as follows: Chone diazi sp. nov. has completely exposed branchial lobes beyond the collar segment. In Chone farringtonae sp. nov. the main fang of posterior abdominal uncini extends beyond breast, and posterior peristomial ring collar length is twice as long as chaetiger 1. In Chone johnstonae sp. nov. the middorsal collar margin forms a broad gap. Chone perkinsi sp. nov. has a glandular ridge on chaetiger 2 broadest dorsally. Chone uebelackerae sp. nov. has a triangular pygidium and long radiolar tips. A taxonomic key for Chone species from the Grand Caribbean is included.

Wet Zone

Taxonomic revisions are the most reliable pathway in unfolding new species to the world. During such a revision of the genus Lagenandra in Sri Lankan, we came across two new species: Lagenandra kalugalensis and Lagenandra srilankensis from the Wet Zone of Sri Lanka. The two new species were studied in detail and compared with the morphology of the other species described in the genus, and based on field collected data conservation assessments were performed. A detailed description for the two new species and an updated taxonomic key to the Sri Lankan Lagenandra is presented here for easy identification. Recognizing two new endemic members enhances the number of Sri Lankan species of Lagenandra to eleven and global to nineteen. According to the IUCN red data category guidelines, L. kalugalensis qualifies for Critically Endangered category under Criterion B1ab (ii,iii,v) + B2ab (ii,iii,v) while L. srilankensis qualifies for Critically Endangered category under B1ab (iii, iv) + C2 (a) (i, ii). Hence, immediate conservation measures are imperative.

A New Species

A new species of Ferorhinella Carvalho & Webb 2004 from southeastern Brazil is described and illustrated, and a taxonomic key to species in the genus is provided. Ferorhinella itatiaiensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from other known species of the genus mainly by the paramere with rounded apex and two subapical lateral spines on outer surface, one long, dorsally inserted and the other one small, ventrally inserted; and dorsal margin of the subgenital plates with a rectangular elevation, covered with small, tooth-like spines.

In several small collections of myriopods recently made in North Carolina, and chiefly in the Duke Forest at Durham, by Mrs. Nelle Bevel Causey, and by her transmitted to me for identification, occur representatives of the species listed below. The purpose of the present paper is primarily to diagnose the several new forms represented; bur because of the interest of some of the other records it seems desirable to give the complete list here as supplementary to the catalogue of forms previously known from the region. The types of the new species are retained in the author's collection.

Viii And Ix

The first verified records of Rhynchelmis from the southeastern Nearctic represent two new species. Both belong to R. (Rhynchelmoides) (Hrabě) n. comb., which is defined here. Rhynchelmis bolinensis n. sp. resembles other R. (Rhynchelmoides) species with elongate spermathecae, but differs in details of the reproductive structures. Rhynchelmis croatanensis n. sp. is similar in many respects, but the gonads and male and female pores are shifted anteriad by one segment, a character previously unknown within the genus. Pararhynchelmis murdocki n. gen., n. sp. has the spermathecal pores in VIII and IX and male pores in X, and the spermathecae connect to the gut. These characters associate the new species with Rhynchelmis, but the combination of differences in morphology or arrangement of atria, spermathecae, blood vessels and nephridia, and the absence of a proboscis, suggest that it be placed in a related genus. Rhynchelmis bolinensis was collected at several sites in North Carolina, but the other two species are known only from single localities.

Anchialine Caves

Bahadzia, new genus, and two new species of amphipod crustaceans are described from anchialine caves in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. One of the species is recorded from three caves on Grand Bahama Island and one cave on Great Abaco Island, whereas the other species is recorded from two caves on the island of Providenciales. The new genus is apparently more closely related to Metaniphargus and Saliweckelia than other hadziid genera in the peri-Caribbean region, but it also shares some important characters with Mayaweckelia.

The external morphology of eight species of Choanoflagellates representing eight genera have been investigated with an electron microscope. These include one new species (Acanthoecopsis apoda). Sections have been obtained of Monosiga ovata, a species without a lorica. All the other species possess loricas with very regular and precise distinguishing features when seen in shadowcast whole mounts. The position of the group is discussed in a preliminary way in the light of fine structure.

Hundreds of years of botanical exploration in heavily populated and highly accessible eastern North America have not exhausted taxonomic prospects in the region. Here, I describe a new species of Asarum (Aristolochiaceae), Asarum rosei B.T.Sinn, from North Carolina, USA. This species is characterized and contrasted with species in Asarum subgenus Heterotropa section Hexastylis, and a revised artificial taxonomic key to the similar species in the section is provided.

Antennal Scale

AbstractA new species of Mysidacea, Pseudomysidetes japonicus, is described. The present new species is clearly distinguishable from the other two species of the genus, P. russelli W. M. Tattersall, 1951 and P. cochinensis Panampunnayil, 1977, in the size of the antennal scale, the number of subsegments in the carpopropodus of the 3rd-8th thoracopod endopods, the length of the penis, the shape of the telson, and the number of spines on the endopod of the uropod. P. japonicus represents the first record of this genus in Japan. On the basis of the rudimentary pleopods in both sexes and the length of the penis in the male, Pseudomysidetes is transferred from the tribe Leptomysini to the tribe Heteromysini. An update of the taxonomic key to genera and subgenera of the Heteromysini is suggested.

A new species of cynipid gall wasps, Periclistus orientalis Pang, Liu & Zhu, sp. nov., is herein described from Hunan, China in the tribe Diastrophini (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Cynipidae). The phylogenetic relationship between Periclistus and all the other Diastrophini genera, except the recently described XestophanopsisPujade-Villar et al., 2019, was analyzed using a fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene and a fragment of the nuclear 28S gene. A taxonomic key to the known genera of Diastrophini and an updated taxonomic key to the known Eastern Palearctic species of Periclistus were provided. In addition, an updated checklist of the known species of the genus from the world is given.
