The spider genus Architis Simon, 1898 is revised, resulting in sixteen species distributed from Panama to southern Brazil, all herein diagnosed, described and illustrated. Pisaurina brasiliensis Mello-Leitão, 1940 is transferred to Architis and considered a senior synonym of A. sinops Carico, 1989. The females of A. capricorna Carico, 1981 and A. robusta Carico, 1981 are described and illustrated for the first time. Architis nitidopilosa Simon, 1898 is considered a junior synonym of A. tenuis Simon, 1898 (the type species of the genus) and A. suarez Carico, 1989 a junior synonym of A. cymatilis Carico, 1981. The remaining species, A. ikuruwa Carico, 1981; A. tenuipes (Simon, 1898) and A. helveola (Simon, 1898) are redescribed and illustrated. Architis paulistana Mello-Leitão, 1917 is synonymised with Aglaoctenus lagotis (Holmberg, 1876) (Lycosidae: Sosippinae) based on its original description and type locality. Eight new species are described: A. erwini sp. nov., based on male and female specimens from Ecuador; A. comaina sp. nov. (male and female) and A. dianasilvae sp. nov. (female only) from Peru; A. maturaca sp. nov. (male and female) and A. altamira sp. nov. (female only) from Brazilian Amazonia; A. colombo sp. nov. (male and female), A. fritzmuelleri sp. nov. (female only) and A. turvo sp. nov. (female only) from southern and southeastern Brazil.

The Neotropical spider genus Thaumasia Perty, 1833 is revised. Seven of the known species are redescribed andillustrated: Thaumasia senilis Perty, 1833 (type-species); T. abrahami Mello-Leitão, 1948; T. annulipes F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1903; T. argenteonotata (Simon, 1898); T. heterogyna Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936; T. scoparia (Simon, 1888)and T. velox Simon, 1898. Ten new species from the neotropical region are described and illustrated: T. caxiuana sp.nov., T. onca sp. nov., T. diasi sp. nov., T. xingu sp. nov., T. acreana sp. nov., T. caracarai sp. nov., T. peruana sp.nov., T. hirsutochela sp. nov., T. lisei sp. nov. and T. oriximina sp. nov. The types of Thaumasia senilis are assumed tobe lost and neotypes are designated. The males of Thaumasia heterogyna, T. annulipes, T. abrahami and the female ofThaumasia senilis are described and illustrated for the first time. Thaumasia annecta Bryant, 1948 and T. decemguttataMello-Leitão, 1945 are synonyms of Thaumasia velox. Thaumasia argyrotypa Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936 issynonymized with Thaumasia heterogyna. Thaumasia argentinensis Mello-Leitão, 1941 is transferred to Lycosidaeand Thaumasia benoisti Caporiacco, 1954 is a junior synonym of Architis spinipes (Taczanowski, 1874). The types ofThaumasia argyrura Mello-Leitão, 1943, Thaumasia brunnea Caporiacco, 1947, Thaumasia strandi Caporiacco, 1947and Thaumasia rubrosignata (Mello-Leitão, 1943) are juvenile specimens, and those species are considered as speciesinquirendae. The type of Thaumasia niceforoi Mello-Leitão, 1941 was not found and is this is species is considered a nomen dubium.

Stratigraphic Range

Agnostus acadicus Hartt (in Dawson, 1868) was the first agnostoid trilobite to be described from Middle Cambrian strata in North America. It was later designated the type species of Acadagnostus Kobayashi, 1939. The original description of A. acadicus was based on two specimens, a cephalon and a pygidium, which are illustrated for the first time with photographs. These are interpreted to represent separate species, each belonging to a different genus. The holotype cephalon is reassigned as Peronopsis acadica, which is judged to be a subjective senior synonym of Agnostus fallax Linnarsson, 1869, and several other species-group taxa. Consequently, Acadagnostus is suppressed as a subjective junior synonym of Peronopsis. Agnostus fallax is the type species of Axagnostus Laurie, 1990, which also is suppressed as a subjective junior synonym of Peronopsis. The pygidium on which the original description of A. acadicus was based is reassigned to Hypagnostus parvifrons (Linnarsson, 1869).Peronopsis acadica, as emended, is a common, cosmopolitan agnostoid in open-marine lithofacies. It has an observed stratigraphic range from the Ptychagnostus praecurrens Interval-zone to the Ptychagnostus punctuosus Interval-zone.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.

The Fedrizziidae are the most diverse group of mites associated with passalid beetles in Australia. Herein, I re-diagnose the family, genera and species, and describe ten new species from Australia, Indonesia and Thailand: Fedrizzia abradoalves sp. nov., F. gilloglyi sp. nov., F. parvipilus sp. nov., Neofedrizzia bunyas sp. nov., N. gordoni sp. nov., N. helenae sp. nov., N. imparmentum sp. nov., N. janae sp. nov., N. lepas sp. nov. and N. sulawesi sp. nov. Fedrizzia strandi (Oudemans), Neofedrizzia leonilae Rosario & Hunter, Neofedrizzia tani Pope & Chernoff and Neofedrizzia vitzthumi (Oudemans) are re-described. Neofedrizzia bicornis Karg is a junior synonym of Neofedrizzia scutata Womersley, which is also transferred to Fedrizzia. Fedrizzia unospina Karg is a junior synonym of Fedrizzia carabi Womersley. Fedrizzia gloriosa Berlese is transferred to Neofedrizzia. The specimens described by Womersley as Fedrizzia sp. cf. grossipes represent specimens of Fedrizzia sellnicki Womersley. Parafedrizzia buloloensis Womersley is recorded from Australia for the first time. A key to adult male and female Fedrizziidae and a summary of host records is provided.

Tettigonia sanguinicollis Latreille, 1811, and its junior synonym Tettigonia farinaria Amyot & Serville, 1843, are herein transferred to the genus Onega Distant, 1908. Thus, the previously incertae sedis genus Paragonalia Evans, 1947 (type-species: T. sanguinicollis), becomes a new junior synonym of Onega. Onega sanguinicollis comb. nov. is redescribed and its female genitalia are described and illustrated for the first time. A color variant of Onega fassli Young, 1977 is described. Three new species of Onega are described and illustrated: O. freytagi sp. nov. from Colombia (Cauca Department), O. krameri sp. nov. from Ecuador (Azuay and Bol var provinces), and O. orphne sp. nov. from Ecuador (Bol var and Pichincha provinces). A key to all nine species now included in Onega is provided along with notes on the distribution of the species. O. bracteata Young, 1977 is newly recorded from Azuay province (Ecuador) and Jun n and Pasco departments (Peru), and O. fassli is newly recorded from Ecuador (Napo Province) and Cundimarca Department (Colombia). Records of Onega from Cuba are considered doubtful.

Four new species of Daimachus are described: D. matheranensis sp. nov. (India: Maharashtra), D. robustus sp. nov. (India: Kerala), D. sirsiensis sp. nov. (India: Karnataka) and D. sudindicus sp. nov. (India: Karnataka, Kerala). Ulopa brunnea Pruthi 1930 is treated as a junior synonym of Daimachus exemplificatus Distant 1916 based on a study of the male genitalia of both species. The latter species, together with Radhades crassus Distant and Ulopsina Dai, Viraktamath & Zhang are redescribed and a new subgenus of Ulopsina, Indoulopa subgen. nov. is described from Sub-Himalayan region with Ulopsina (Indoulopa) himalayana sp. nov. as the type species; the genus is reported for the first time from the subcontinent. Key to genera and species dealt with are also provided, all taxa are illustrated and lectotypes are designated for Daimachus exemplificatus, Ulopa brunnea and Radhades crassus.
