The investigation of an extensive collection of zooplankton samples from Northeast and East Thailand has revealed 10 species of the family Sididae, members of which often were mostly frequently distributed and abundant among Cladocera. Of seven species of the genus Diaphanosoma, one is new to science (D. elongatum sp. nov.) and two others, D. senegal and D. macrophthalma, new to Thailand. The genus Pseudosida is represented by P. szalayi instead of P. bidentata incorrectly recorded previously. Eleven species of Sididae are now known from Northeast Thailand and 12 from the whole country. The highest frequency occurrence and abundance were observed in D. excisum, D. dubium, Latonopsis australis, and P. szalayi while other species were more infrequent (D. sarsi) or rare. Sididae species were often observed co-occurring in different combinations, among them up to three-four species of Diaphanosoma. The rare species D. senegal frequently co-occurred with large Branchiopoda. Most Sididae of Northeast Thailand are of tropical origin while others (D. dubium, D. macrophthalma, Sida crystallina) have penetrated here from more northern latitudes.

A New Species

Collections of bottom-living animals from the continental slope of the northern Bay of Biscay contain a new species of Oligobrachia; this increases the number of species of Oligobrachia known from the North Atlantic to five. Oligobrachiids are quite frequently found incubating embryos and five individuals of the new species carry embryos. Oligobrachia embryos have been studied morphologically already (Ivanov, 1957, 1975; Southward & Southward, 1963; Brattegard, 1966; Ivanov & Gureeva, 1976) and should prove useful material for experimental studies in future. Incubation is also known in the family Siboglinidae, but neither embryos nor larvae have been seen in any other pogonophoran families. The Biscay collections also contain additional specimens of Oligobrachia ivanovi and these have been useful in revising the description of this rather rare species.

Species of the family Anthomyzidae (Diptera: Acalyptrata) occurring in Taiwan are reviewed. Eleven species have been recognized, 8 of them new to science. However, because of limited and poorly preserved material, only three species of the genus Anthomyza Fallén, 1810, viz. A. robusta sp. nov. (Chiayi and Nantou Counties, both sexes), A. caesarea sp. nov. (Taichung City area, both sexes) and A. elongata sp. nov. (Chiayi County, female only), are described. The remaining 5 undescribed species, viz. Amygdalops sp. nov. near cuspidatus (Taichung City area), Amygdalops sp. nov. near curtistylus (Nantou and Kinmen Counties), Anthomyza sp. nov. near elongata (Yilan County), Anthomyza sp. nov. (1) near flavosterna (Chiayi County) and Anthomyza sp. nov. (2) near flavosterna (Nantou County), are diagnosed but remain unnamed. A new species group of Anthomyza, viz. the A. flavosterna group, is established and diagnosed, to include the East Palearctic A. flavosterna Sueyoshi & Roháček, 2003, A. caesarea sp. nov., A. elongata sp. nov. and 3 additional unnamed species from Taiwan, while the remaining A. robusta sp nov. belongs to the A. bellatrix group. All six Taiwanese Anthomyza species seem to be associated with montane habitats and could be endemic. It is estimated that up to 20 species of Anthomyzidae could occur in Taiwan. The longitudinal dark pattern of the wing, found in A. caesarea sp. nov., is recorded for the first time in the genus Anthomyza which is the fourth lineage of Anthomyzidae in which this type of pattern has independently evolved. Preliminary keys to Taiwanese species of the genera Amygdalops Lamb, 1914 and Anthomyza are presented.

This paper provides the first faunal checklist for the family Cicadidae (Insecta: Hemiptera) from Mindanao, Philippines, comprising 17 species belonging to 13 genera. A new species, Chremistica kyoungheeae sp. nov., is described. Platypleura elizabethae Lee and Nelcyndana tener (Stål) are newly added to the cicada fauna of Mindanao. Dokuma Distant syn. nov. is treated as a junior synonym of Oncotympana Stål, which is redefined to include four species: O. pallidiventris Stål, O. viridicincta Stål, O. nigristigma (Walker) comb. nov., and an undescribed Oncotympana sp., all from the Philippines. Dokuma consobrina Distant syn. nov. is synonymized with O. viridicincta. A new genus, Sonata gen. nov., is described to include the following species previously placed in Oncotympana: Sonata fuscata (Distant), Sonata maculaticollis (De Motschulsky), Sonata ella (Lei & Chou), Sonata expansa (Walker), Sonata mahoni (Distant), Sonata melanoptera (Distant), Sonata obnubila (Distant), Sonata stratoria (Distant), and Sonata virescens (Distant) (nine species comb. nov.). The genus Champaka Distant stat. rev. is resurrected from junior synonymy with Platylomia Stål to include the following species previously placed in the Platylomia spinosa group: Champaka spinosa (Fabricius), Champaka abdulla (Distant), Champaka viridimaculata (Distant), Champaka nigra (Distant), Champaka virescens (Distant), Champaka meyeri (Distant), Champaka wallacei (Beuk), Champaka celebensis Distant, Champaka aerata (Distant), Champaka constanti (Lee), and Champaka maxima (Lee) (eleven species comb. nov.). The genus Nelcyndana Distant, 1906 is transferred to Cicadettini from Taphurini. A key to the species of Oncotympana and information on geographic distributions of the 17 Mindanao species are provided.

Abstract. Eleven species of family Hemicytheridae and seven of the family Thaerocytheridae are described. Together they comprise 14% of the total Recent ostracod fauna described from the Solomon Islands. In the main the hemicytherids are much more endemic than the thaerocytherids. Three new species have been recorded only from the Solomon Islands, and three species of Caudites, held in open nomenclature due to their rarity, are also probably endemic to the islands. Another three new species have been recorded only from Java and one species of Mimicocythere gen. et sp. nov. also occurs in Australia. The six new species described and illustrated are: Ambostracon (A.) micropapillatum, A. (A.) micromaculata, Caudites shortlandensis, ?C. atypicus, Mutilus dissimilis ssp. nov. and Mimicocythere pseudomelobesoides gen. et sp. nov. Only one of the hemicytherids, Caudites javana Kingma, occurs throughout the Indo-Pacific. It is the Thaerocytheridae, however, that are almost pandemic in tropical regions, with Tenedocythere deltoides and T. transoceanica being distributed particularly widely. A new species of the rare genus Neobuntonia, N. subalata sp. nov., only the second modern species to be described, is also illustrated.

Abstract During a parasitological survey of fishes at Iguazu National Park, Argentina, specimens belonging to the allocreadiid genus Auriculostoma were collected from the intestine of Characidium heirmostigmata. The erection of the new species is based on a unique combination of morphological traits as well as on phylogenetic analysis. Auriculostoma guacurarii n. sp. resembles four congeneric species – Auriculostoma diagonale, Auriculostoma platense, Auriculostoma tica and Auriculostoma totonacapanensis – in having smooth and oblique testes, but can be distinguished by a combination of several morphological features, hosts association and geographic distribution. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from both A. diagonale and A. platense by the egg size (bigger in the first and smaller in the last); from A. tica by a shorter body length, the genital pore position and the extension of the caeca; and from A. totonacapanensis by the size of the oral and ventral sucker and the post-testicular space. Additionally, one specimen of Auriculostoma cf. stenopteri from the characid Charax stenopterus (Characiformes) from La Plata River, Argentina, was sampled and the partial 28S rRNA gene was sequenced. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. guacurarii n. sp. clustered with A. tica and these two as sister taxa to A. cf. stenopteri. The new species described herein is the tenth species in the genus and the first one parasitizing a member of the family Crenuchidae.

Four additional species of quill mites of the family Syringophilidae Lavoipierre have now been recorded in England. This includes one new species, Bubophilus aluconis sp. nov., which parasitizes the tawny owl Strix aluco (Strigiformes: Strigidae). It differs from other species of this genus, B. ascalaphus Philips et Norton, 1978 and B. asiobius Skoracki et Bochkov, 2002 by the number of chambers in transverse branch of the peritremes (2-3), the length ratio of setae vi and ve (1:1.6-2), and the lengths of the stylophore and aggenital setae ag1 (180 and 135-145, respectively).
