The new genus Doesburgedessa is here proposed to include Edessa rugifera Stål, 1872 (type species) and four other species new to science: D. nigrolimbata sp. nov., D. armata sp. nov., D. elongatispina sp. nov., and D. linnei sp. nov. The new genus is characterized by a very unusual metasternal process with a single anterior projection that clearly derives from the bifurcated metasternal process found in Edessa. These species are restricted to the Amazon region; D. rugifera n. comb. is known from Brazil (Amazonas and Mato Grosso), D. nigrolimbata sp. nov. from Peru (Madre de Dios) and Bolivia (Santa Cruz), D. armata sp. nov. from Brazil (Pará and Mato Grosso), D. linnei sp. nov. from French Guiana (Cayenne and St Laurent du Maroni) and Guyana (East Berbice-Corentyne), and D. elongatispina sp. nov. from Brazil (Amazonas). The species were illustrated and photographed and the descriptions were made using external morphological characters, mostly from the metasternal process and the male and female genitalia.

Claviplatysgen. n. and its type species C.henryisp. n. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Plataspidae: Plataspinae) are described from Kerala, India. The new genus is related to the Indomalayan genera Heterocrates Amyot & Serville, 1843, Cratoplatys Montandon, 1894, and Cronion Bergroth, 1891, but differs from them and all other plataspid genera by the peculiarly modified antenna. The morphological characters and systematic relationships of the above genera are discussed.

A New Species

AbstractThe Neotropical lichen mimicking mantid genus Pseudopogonogaster Beier, 1942 is revisited and re-described. The examination of the type species, P. mirabilis Beier, 1942, the first described species of this lineage, allowed us to determine that those species currently included in Pseudopogonogaster and Calopteromantis Terra, 1982 are all congeneric. As a result, the genus Calopteromantis is now considered to be a junior synonym of Pseudopogonogaster. Accordingly, Calopteromantis hebardi Terra, 1982 and Calopteromantis marulandae Salazar, 2002 are transferred to Pseudopogonogaster. The species Calopteromantis otongica Lombardo & Ayala, 1998 from Ecuador was also found to be a synonym of P. mirabilis. In addition, a new species from northwestern Peru, Pseudopogonogaster kanjaris, is described herein, thus constituting a new genus and species record for this country. Analysis of the distribution of the six recognized species of Pseudopogonogaster suggests that this genus is endemic to the mountain forests of Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru and its members are specialized inhabitants of epiphytic vegetation, exhibiting unique morphological and chromatic adaptations to these habitats. The newly available information on Pseudopogonogaster also allowed to determine that Calopteromantis terrai Jantsch, 1994, described from Mato Grosso, Brazil, is actually a member of the genus Eumiopteryx Giglio-Tos, 1915 (espidae: Pseudomiopteriginae) and, thus, is transferred to this genus as E. terrai (Jantsch, 1994) comb.n.

Taxonomic Novelty

We describe a new genus and species of polychaete worm (Polynoidae, Macellicephalinae) from a previously unsampled areaof the Southern Ocean, Pine Island Bay in the Amundsen Sea. Austropolaria n. gen. is differentiated from other genera in thesubfamily Macellicephalinae by a combination of morphological characters such as the number of pharyngeal papillae, bodysegments, elytra, and position of ventral cirrus. The type species of this genus, Austropolaria magnicirrata n. sp., is described based on morphological characters, supplemented by molecular data.

Conquistator gen. nov., is described to hold the North American species Podisus mucronatus Uhler, 1897. This new genus differs from Podisus Herrich-Schaeffer, 1851, in having the digitiform process on the paramere corpus more characteristic of species in the American asopine genera Apoecilus Stål, 1870 and Supputius Distant, 1889. The new genus, however, also differs from these two genera by essential morphological characters. The type species, Podisus mucronatus Uhler, 1897, is re-described based on a morphological examination of the male and female terminalia.

A new genus of Gyponini, Sakakibarana gen. nov., is proposed and its type species S. amazonica sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens from the Amazon Rainforest of Northern Brazil (states of Amazonas and Pará) and French Guiana. The new genus can be distinguished from other members of the Gyponini by the following morphological features: robust body, short crown, crown and face transition distinct and subfoliaceous, pronotum strongly declivous, male pygofer with caudal process, and aedeagus with dorsal apodemes with a pair of processes. A discussion comparing the new genus with the related genus Tenuacia DeLong, 1977 is provided.
