Three new species of the ptyctimous mite families Synichotritiidae and Phthiracariidae, Synichotricha reticulata sp. nov. from North Carolina, USA, Phthiracarus paralaevigatus sp. nov. from Western Slovakia and Phthiracarus paralongulus sp. nov. from South Bohemia, the Czech Republic are described and figured. All species of the genus Synichotritia are presented and their distribution is discussed. Comparison with the most related species of the genera Synichotritia and Phthiracarus is discussed.

To reflect the nearly 65 years of active research into extinct decapod and thoracican crus - taceans (Pleocyemata, Anomura, Brachyura and Cirripedia) by the late Joe Collins, a varied array of papers on polychelid lobsters, paguroid and galatheoid anomurans, brachyurans and scalpellomorph and balanomorph cirripedes is compiled in the present memorial volume. The material described and illustrated originates from a range of sedimentary strata, of Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Ceno - zoic age in North America (Washington, Oregon and North Carolina), Caribbean (Cuba), Japan and Europe (England, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic). In all, two new genera (one paguroid and a xanthoid crab) and eight new species (all crabs), are erected in the present issue and named after Joe, as a fitting tribute to a well- respected, self- taught scientist.

<em>Rubus bohemo-polonicus</em> Travnicek &amp; Zieliński, a regional species belonging to series <em>Radula</em> (Focke) Focke, is described from the Czech Republic and Poland. It differs from closely related species (<em>R. radula</em> Weihe, <em>R. salisburgensis</em> Focke ex Caflisch and <em>R. indusiatus</em> Focke) mainly by the almost glabrous stems and consistently white petals. Illustrations and a distribution map of the new species are provided.

Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) lituanica Ivinskis & van Nieukerken, sp. nov., is described from adults reared from stem-mining larvae on Salvia pratensis (Lamiaceae) from Lithuania and some specimens taken as adults in Austria, Sloveniaand Greece. In addition the new species is recorded from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Romania. Superficially, itresembles Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) headleyella (Stainton, 1854), especially the male, but it differs by male genitaliawith additional cornuti, a unique character for the subgenus, and the female genitalia differ by the larger number ofconvolutions in the ductus spermathecae. It is the only known Trifurcula to make its cocoon partially inside a stem-mine. The synonymy of Nepticula dubiella Hauder, 1912 with T. headleyella is confirmed, but some specimensrecorded under this name from Austria belong to the new species. DNA barcodes are provided and compared with related species.

Extensive sampling of Pipunculidae in the frame of faunistic research in former Czechoslovakia as well as several other European countries over the last two decades has resulted in the discovery of several unknown species of this family. In this work, we present descriptions of three new species of the genus Pipunculus Latreille, 1802. Pipunculus adami Kozánek, sp. nov. and P. lindae Kozánek, sp. nov. are described from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, P. anatolicus Kozánek, sp. nov. is described on the basis of specimens from Turkey. The detailed redescription of the male of P. wolfi Kowarz, 1887, including the so far unknown male terminalia, is presented. The key taxonomic characters are visualized as interactive microphotographs provided with browsing software.

During the investigation of fungal microbiome associated with boxwood in the Czech Republic, samples from Buxus sempervirens L. (Buxaceae) plants were collected and used for isolation. Two fungal strains were proposed as a new species Pyrenochaetopsis kuksensis based on morphology as well as phylogenetic analyses of ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tub2 sequence data. Detailed descriptions and phylogenetic relationships of the new taxon are provided.

Three new myxomycete species, Tubifera glareata, T. tomentosa and T. vanderheuliae, are described on the basis of morphological investigations and the partial 18S rDNA barcoding. Tubifera vanderheuliae, collected in Tasmania and New South Wales, is characterized by small, bouquet-shaped pseudoaethalia, cylindrical sporothecae somewhat extended at the top, and the largest spores known thus far within the genus (7.5–10.5 μm). Tubifera glareata, found thus far only in Tasmania, is somewhat similar to T. applanata found in the Holarctic region, but differs from the latter by the larger spores, absence of ring-like ornamentation on the peridium, and the smaller subspherical pseudoaethalia. Tubifera tomentosa, also collected in Tasmania, differs from the related species T. dudkae by the conspicuous amorphous felt-like cover on the surface of the pseudoaethalia.

A new species of Mycetophilidae (Diptera), Acomopterella martinovskyi sp. n., is described from the Czech Republic and Austria. This is the first record of the genus from the Palaearctic region. Its relationships with other genera and variation in wing characters are briefly discussed. A new combination and synonymy is proposed: Acomopterella fallax (Sherman, 1921) comb.n. = Acomopterella arnaudi Zaitzev, 1989 syn.n.
