A New Species

Coleophora darwini sp. nov., is described from the Galápagos Islands. This is the first record of the family Coleophoridae for the Galápagos. Adults were reared from larvae found mining leaves of Amaranthus andersonii Howell (Amaranthaceae) on Pinzón Island. Adults of the species also were collected at light on the islands of Española and Pinta. Coleophora darwini is similar to C. intexta Meyrick, 1917 from Peru. Adults, and male and female genitalia of both species, as well as the larval case of C. darwini, are illustrated and morphological characters distinguishing the two species are presented. A lectotype is formally designated for C. intexta.

A New Species

We describe Bythaelurus giddingsi sp. nov. based on 7 specimens collected using the submersible Johnson Sea-Link fromdeepwater (428–562 m depth) areas of the Galápagos Islands. It is presumed to be endemic to the archipelago. The newspecies differs from its congeners in its coloration, the length of its anal-fin base, and in other morphological characters. The disjunct distribution of species of the widely-distributed Indo-Pacific genus Bythaelurus is discussed.

The genus Brachycoris remained monotypic so far, with Brachycoris semiflavus Stål, 1871 from Philippines. In this paper, the genus is redescribed and its distribution expanded with the description of Brachycoris tralucidus sp. nov., based on specimens from southern part of India. B. tralucidus sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on male and female genitalia.

A new species of the family Agnaridae, Lucasioides altaicus sp. nov., is described from the Altai Mountains, southwestern Siberia, based both on morphological characters and molecular data. This species is the first record of Lucasioides from Russia, whose location is the northernmost habitat of terrestrial isopods in indigenous habitats presently known to Eurasia. The diagnostic characters of the new species and a preliminary phylogenetic analysis within Agnaridae are provided.

Squat Lobsters

Seven species of chirostyloidean squat lobsters are reported from the Galapagos Rift zone and Galapagos platform: Eumunida subsolanus n. sp. (Eumunididae), Heteroptychus galapagos n. sp., H. nautilus n. sp. (Chirostylidae), Uroptychus bellus Faxon, 1893, U. compressus n. sp., U. occidentalis Faxon, 1893 (Chirostylidae), and Sternostylus defensus (Benedict, 1902) (Sternostylidae). All new species are described and illustrated, and the two species previously known from the Galapagos Islands, Uroptychus bellus and U. occidentalis, are re-illustrated from respective lectotypes, herein designated, since both original descriptions were only brief. Both the species of Heteroptychus and Eumunida subsolanus are the first representatives of their respective genera in the eastern Pacific and the latter is also the first record for the family Eumunididae in the region.

A New Species

The spider genus Austrochilus comprises only six species known from Chile and Argentina. Here, we describe a new species, Austrochilus parwis sp. n., based on a single male and several females. The new species was found in Chile (Region IX) and, based on characters in the male and female genitalia, seems to be closely related to A. forsteri Grismado, Lopardo & Platnick, 2003. The female genitalia were investigated using X-ray microscopy, revealing for the first time the internal organization of austrochiline female genitalia. Furthermore, we provide a comparative documentation of the male genitalia of austrochilines based mainly on type material, and comment on the recently proposed nomenclatorial changes to the family name Austrochilidae.

A new species of cynipid herb gall wasp, Aulacidea turcica Azmaz & Katılmış sp. n., (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Aulacideini) is described from Turkey. Based on morphological characters, A. turcica belongs to the genus Aulacidea. Both sexual females and males of this species are known and the females induce galls on the stem of Digitalis ferruginea. This is the first record of host use in the genus Digitalis and possibly the family Plantaginaceae by a species of Aulacidea. Five species belonging to Aulacideini were previously known from Turkey. SEM images and data on the diagnosis, distribution, and biology of the new species are provided.

A new species of Aididae is described and illustrated based on adults (male and female) and immature (last instar larvae). The larvae were found infesting leaves of Inga edulis Martius (Fabaceae) in the municipality of Autazes, State of Amazonas, representing the first record of Aididae in the northern region of Brazil. The new species is further compared with its closest species, Aidos amanda (Stoll, 1782).

A New Species

Plant bugs, species of Miridae (Heteroptera), are not well known in the Neotropics, and Colombia is not an exception. Based on data from the available systematic catalog (Schuh 2002–2013) fewer than 150 species are recorded from the country, clearly an underestimation. Recent fieldwork has resulted in several new interesting taxa from Colombia. Carvalhomiris Maldonado & Ferreira, 1971, contains three described species from Colombia and Ecuador. From specimens collected in Jardín, Antioquia, Carvalhomirishenryisp. n. is described. Images of the dorsal habitus and the male and female genitalia are provided. Based on morphological examination of the new species and published information, morphological characters were coded to construct a phylogenetic matrix for a cladistic analysis in which the phylogenetic position of the new species is assessed. Carvalhomirishenryisp. n. is the northernmost species of the genus and noteworthy because it is the first record of any species of the genus in the Western Cordillera: all other species are known from the eastern flank of the Andes (Ecuador) or the Eastern Cordillera (Colombia). Natural history observations of the new species, including associations with composites (Asteraceae) are provided. It is speculated that the mirid might be predacious.
