A new genus, Hoyicoccus Williams & Kozár gen. n., and two new species, Hoyicoccus hendersonae Kozár & Williams and Eriococcus szentivanyi Kozár & Williams are described from Sabah, Malaysia. In addition, the genus Sangicoccus Reyne is discussed: Sangicoccus truncatispinus (Reyne) is redescribed and two new species, namely Sangicoccus morrisoni Kozár & Konczné Benedicty and Sangicoccus reynei Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, are described. Sangicoccus is now known off palms from Irian Jaya and Sulawesi in Indonesia, and from the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. A key is provided for the separation of the known species of Sangicoccus.

The Relationship

A new genus, Fistulococcus Hodgson & Martin is introduced, to accommodate two new species of soft scale insect. All stages (except the pupa) of the type species, F. pokfulamensis from Gnetum luofuense (Gnetaceae) in Hong Kong, are described. All female stages, and the second-instar male, are described for F. intsiae from Intsia bijuga (Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae) in Papua New Guinea. The structure of the dorsal chambered ducts is discussed in relation to the types of wax secreted. The relationship of Coccidae with plants in the Gymnospermae is discussed, as part of the account of F. pokfulamensis.

Two New Species

Two new species of the family Leptochitonidae, Leptochiton pumilus sp. nov. and Terenochiton nomurai sp. nov. are described from the tropical and subtropical shallow waters of the West Pacific. L. pumilus from the Philippines and Papua New Guinea has a net-like sculpture on the shell which is rather rare feature in the genus. In this genus, so far only three species have hitherto been known in the tropical shallow waters, in contrast to more than 130 other extant species which are living in the deep cold waters and high latitudes. T. nomurai from Ryukyu Islands is the second representative of the genus Terenochiton Iredale, 1914 which was recently reinstated for Leptochiton norfolcensis (Hedley et Hull, 1912), and is characterized by having rudiments of the insertion plates in all valves. T. nomurai closely resembles the type species, but differs in the arrangement of the aesthete pores on the granules of the tegmentum, and less developed rudiments of the insertion plates. Key words: chitons, Leptochiton, Terenochiton, new species, the Philippines, Japan, Papua New Guinea. Описаны два новых вида семейства Leptochitonidae, Leptochiton pumilus sp. nov. и Terenochiton nomurai sp. nov. из тропических и субтропических мелководий западной Пацифики. L. pumilus c Филиппин и Папуа – Новой Гвинеи имеет сетчатовидную скульптуру на раковине, что является довольно редким признаком в этом роде. В этом роде только три вида известны до настоящего времени в тропических мелководьях, в противоположность более чем 130 другим современным видам, которые живут в глубоких холодных водах и в высоких широтах. T. nomurai из островов Рюкю является вторым представителем рода Terenochiton Iredale, 1914, который был недавно восстановлен для Leptochiton norfolcensis (Hedley et Hull, 1912) и характеризуется наличием рудиментов инсерционных пластинок на всех щитках. T. nomurai сходен с типовым видом рода, но отличается расположением пор эстетов на зернах тегментума и менее развитыми рудиментами инсерционных пластинок. Ключевые слова: хитоны, Leptochiton, Terenochiton, новые виды, Филиппины, Япония, Папуа Новая Гвинея.

Two New Species

Omniops gen. n. (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae: Hydrophilini: Acidocerina) is described for two new species from Papua New Guinea: Omniops fasciatus sp. n. and O. hanseni sp. n. This genus is distinguished from other genera of Hydrophilidae by having the eyes divided into dorsal and ventral portions by an extension of the frons, and by having a row of dense long setae on the labrum. The tribal placement of the new genus and that of Quadriops Hansen are discussed. High resolution digital images are given for each holotype (online versions in color).

Three New Species

Until now, Penicillidmus was represented by two Australian and one Papuan species, distributed in Cape York, northern Queensland, and Lavongai Island, Papua New Guinea. Three new species are described, all known to occur in Luzon, the Philippines: Penicillidmus maquilingensis sp. n., P. lagunensis sp. n. and P. luzonicus sp. n. The discovery of Penicillidmus in the Oriental region suggests a broader distribution of this genus in Southeast Asia.

Three New Species

Megaxenus Lawence, gen. nov., includes one speciesfrom North Queensland (M. Termitophilus Lawence, sp. nov.) and two from Papua New Guinea (M. bioculatus Lawence, sp. nov. and M. papuensis Lawence, sp. nov.). All three are found in the nests of Microcerotermes species and are the first known termitophiles in the family Aderidae. Notes on the behaviour and life history demonstrate that the larvae are integrated into the termite society, and are incorporated into the trophallactic feeding behaviour of termites, while the adults are actively persecuted by the termites but survive at the edges of the nest because of the webs constructed by the larvae prior to pupation.
