An annotated catalogue of the Nepticulidae and Opostegidae of mainland France (including Monaco) and Corsica is presented. All previous literature records are given and interpreted where necessary. We provide detailed records for material collected and studied by us. A total of 150 species of Nepticulidae and 6 species of Opostegidae are listed. All but one Nepticulidae are recorded from mainland France, 46 Nepticulidae and 2 Opostegidae are listed for Corsica, and two Nepticulidae and one Opostegidae for Monaco. The following species are recorded for the first time from France (mainland only): Stigmella carpinella (Heinemann, 1862), S. vimineticola (Frey, 1856), Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) magna A. & Z. LaštÁvka, 1997 and Ectoedemia hexapetalae (SzÝcs, 1957); Parafomoria halimivora Van Nieukerken, 1985 also is reported for France on re-interpretation of earlier literature records of P. helianthemella. New for mainland France but known from Corsica is Ectoedemia heringella (Mariani, 1939). New for Corsica, but previously known from France are: Stigmella luteella (Stainton, 187), Trifurcula (Levarchama) eurema (Tutt, 1899), T. (Trifurcula) josefklimeschi Van Nieukerken, 1990, T. (T.) calycotomella A. & Z. LaštÁvka, 1997, Bohemannia quadrimaculella (Boheman, 1853), and Ectoedemia (Ectoedemia) occultella (Linnaeus, 1767). The following species are removed from the list: Stigmella pretiosa (Heinemann, 1862) and S. poterii (Stainton, 1857), both from mainland France and Corsica, and Trifurcula (Trifurcula) pallidella (Duponchel, 1839) from mainland France, but it does occur in Corsica. The occurrence in France of Stigmella stelviana (Weber, 1938), Trifurcula (T.) serotinella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855), and Ectoedemia arcuatella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1855) is confirmed, and for 15 species previously recorded in checklists, we provide the first detailed records for mainland France, and for four species for Corsica. The following new host records are given: Stigmella centifoliella (Zeller, 1848) reared from Alchemilla sp. (from label data of Chrétien); T. (Glaucolepis) magna reared from Thymus (from label data of Chrétien); T. (T.) silviae mines were found on Onobrychis viciifolia. The female genitalia of T. magna are illustrated and described for the first time. A lectotype is selected for Nepticula teucriella Chrétien, 1914 (now in Trifurcula (Glaucolepis)). The type locality for Trifurcula luteola is established to be in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and not in Aude. The richest départements are: 66-Pyrenées-Orientales with 70 species, 77- Seine-et-Marne with 65 species, 68-Haut-Rhin with 58 and 33-Gironde with 57.

A new species, Glyptapanteles hypermnestrae Gupta and Pereira, is described from Maharashtra, India, and comparedwith closely allied species. This new species was bred from parasitized larvae of Elymnias hypermnestra (Linnaeus) (Lep-idoptera: Nymphalidae). In addition to this, two hymenopteran parasitoids, Apanteles folia Nixon (Braconidae: Microgas-trinae) and Brachymeria indica (Krausse) (Chalcididae), are for first time reported parasitizing larvae of Arhopalaamantes (Hewitson) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and pupae of Pareronia valeria (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) respectively.

AbstractDipetalonema caudispina (Molin, 1858) and D. gracile (Rudolphi, 1809) (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) are two of six known species of filarial nematodes that parasitize Neotropical non-human primates. Adult filariae were collected from the thoracic and abdominal cavities of 38 of 44 specimens of Sapajus macrocephalus (Spix, 1823) and nine of ten specimens of Cebus albifrons (Humboldt, 1812) (Primates: Cebidae), distributed in the Yavarí-Mirín river basin and used locally for human consumption. Co-occurrence of D. caudispina and D. gracile is reported for the first time, with a prevalence of 18.5% (10 of 54 hosts examined). Our finding of D. caudispina and D. gracile in cebids from the Peruvian Amazon constitutes a new geographical record for both filariae, two new host records for D. caudispina, and the first report of D. gracile in S. macrocephalus. In addition, we provide morphometric data for D. caudispina, complementing the original description, as well as scanning electron microscopy details on the structure of the area rugosa and number of caudal papillae in males.

AbstractSeven species of acanthocephalans were identified for the first time in teleost fish from the Bizerte lagoon, Tunisia, including Neoechinorhynchus (Hebesoma) agilis (Rudolphi, 1819) Van Cleave, 1916; N. (Neoechinorhynchus) rutili Müller, 1780 (Neoechinorhynchidae); Acanthocephaloide propinquus (Dujardin, 1845) Meyer, 1932; A. incrassatus (Molin, 1858) Meyer, 1932 (Arhythmacanthidae); Longicollum pagrosomi Yamaguti, 1935 (Pomphorhynchidae); Rhadinorhynchus cadenati (Golvan et Houin, 1964) Golvan, 1969 (Rhadinorhynchidae); and Telosentis exiguus (von Linstow, 1901) Van Cleave, 1923 (Illiosentidae). Acanthocephaloide propinquus, N. (N.) rutili, L. pagrosomi and R. cadenati were restricted to the rectum and the posterior intestine, whereas the other species (A. incrassatus, T. exiguus and N. (H.) agilis) colonized two or three parts of the intestine. The most diverse acanthocephalan fauna was recorded in Lithognathus mormyrus, with three species; two species were reported from Trachurus trachurus; and a single species was recorded in Liza aurata and in Atherina boyeri. Neoechinorhynchus (N.) rutili, L. pagrosomi and R. cadenati attained the lowest prevalences of less than 6% and were considered as to be rare species. Acanthocephaloide incrassatus, A. propinquus, T. exiguus and N. (H.) agilis were satellite species. The diversity of the acanthocephalan fauna in the fish from the Bizerte lagoon is compared with previous studies from other localities. The report of A. incrassatus, A. propinquus and N. (N.) rutili in L. mormyrus presents new host records in Mediterranean waters.

A nationwide survey was conducted for ticks (Ixodidae) removed from echidnas, Tachyglossus aculeatus (Shaw, 1792), that had been previously collected between 1928 and 2013, and archived within Australian national (Australian National Insect Collection, Australian Capital Territory) and state (Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia) natural history collections. A total of 850 ticks from 89 T. aculeatus hosts were morphologically identified to determine instar, sex and species. Seven larvae, 349 nymphs and 494 adults were identified; 235 were female and 259 were male. The most common tick species was Bothriocroton concolor (Neumann, 1899) (89.2%). In addition, ticks previously recorded from T. aculeatus were identified, including Amblyomma australiense Neumann, 1905 (1.8%), Amblyomma echidnae Roberts, 1953 (0.1%), Bothriocroton hydrosauri (Denny, 1843) (1.4%), Bothriocroton tachyglossi (Roberts, 1953) (1.5%) and Ixodes tasmani Neumann, 1899 (1.2%). For the first time, 22 Amblyomma fimbriatum Koch, 1844 (2.6%) and 19 Amblyomma triguttatum Koch, 1844 (2.2%) ticks were recorded from T. aculeatus. This is the first survey to utilise archived Australian tick collections for the purpose of acquiring new data on tick species that parasitise T. aculeatus.
