Investigation of newly collected material from the Philippines during the Panglao Marine Biodiversity Project 2004, together with re-examination of the type material of Callianassa jousseaumei Nobili, 1904 and numerous specimens identified as Neocallichirus indicus (de Man, 1905), revealed that the latter is identical with the former and has to be considered a junior synonym of Callianassa jousseaumei. A redescription of this species is presented together with notes on its morphological variability and its ecology. A new species of Neocallichirus, N. vaugelasi, is described for specimens from Aqaba, previously attributed erroneously to C. (or N.) jousseaumei, and N. natalensis Barnard, 1947 is removed from the synonymy of the latter. This is the first record of this species for the Philippines and Thailand.

A New Species

Abstract Pinnotherid crabs are well known as obligate associates of other marine invertebrates, frequently bivalve molluscs. Knowledge of the Australian pinnotherid crab fauna is expanded by description of a new species of Viridotheres Manning, 1996, representing the first record of the genus from Western Australia. The new species of Viridotheres is most similar to V. gracilis (Bürger, 1895) from the Philippines and V. takedai Ahyong, Komai & Watanabe, 2012 from Japan, but is unique in the genus in the elongated maxilliped 3 palp that distinctly overreaches the propodal apex. The identity of the poorly known northern Australian species, Pinnotheres latipes Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846, originally described from the Northern Territory, is resolved by designation of a neotype that places the species in the genus Nepinnotheres Manning, 1993. Nepinnotheres latipescomb. nov. is widespread in northern Australia and commonly hosted by the bivalve mollusc Pinna Linnaeus, 1758. Previous Australian records of Nepinnotheres cardii (Bürger, 1895) and N. edwardsi (De Man, 1888) from Australia are referable to N. latipes. Nepinnotheres latipes is one of only five known pinnotherids having androgynous males. Few pinnotherids are known from males, so estimating the extent of androgyny in Pinnotheridae must await discovery of males of additional species.

The harvestman genus Bonea Roewer, 1914 and its type species B. sarasinorum Roewer, 1914 are redescribed based on the type material. In addition, two new species of Bonea from Hainan Island, China, are described and illustrated: B. zhui sp. nov. and B. tridigitata sp. nov. A new species of Lomanius Roewer, 1923 from Yunnan Province, China, is also described and illustrated: L. bulbosus sp. nov.. Keys to the 10 species of Bonea and the six species of Lomanius are provided. Paralomanius Goodnight & Goodnight, 1948 is revalidated from the synonymy of Lomanius, carrying as junior synonym Eulomanius Roewer, 1949, and containing two species from Micronesia (Paralomanius longipalpus Goodnight & Goodnight, 1948) and Philippines (Paralomanius mindanaoensis (Suzuki, 1977) new status). Bonea is transferred from the Ibaloniinae to Podoctinae. These are the first records of named species of Podoctidae from China.

Packard (1873) described Menopon picicola as a new species, based on ten lice taken from two species of woodpeckers of the genus Picoides—P. arcticus (Swainson, 1832) and P. dorsalis Baird, 1858—collected in Wyoming, U.S.A. in August 1872. Considering that (1) Packard (1873) neither designated a holotype nor a single type host, (2) his type material is most likely lost, and (3) no additional lice from either of those two species of Picoides have been reported in the literature, the taxonomic status of Menopon picicola has not been confirmed.

A New Species

Corotoca Schiødte, 1853 is a Neotropical genus of termitophiles beetles, with five species, and its description marks the first record of insects associated with termites. A new species, Corotoca fontesi sp. nov., from Brazil, is described and illustrated, and a taxonomical problem regarding to the identification and nomenclatural status of two species, Corotoca phylo Schiødte, 1853 and Corotoca seeversi Fontes, 1977, is solved. Therefore, Corotoca seeversi is proposed as a new junior synonym of C. phylo, and the material identified as C. phylo housed in the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo, Brazil (MZUSP) is recognized as a new species, Corotoca fontesi sp. nov. New morphological and sexual dimorphism data in the species, and solution of some messy informations about the genus present in the literature are also present.

A New Species

We describe a new species of Pinanga, P. gruezoi, from the islands of Samar, Bucas Grande, Dinagat, and (northeastern) Mindanao, Philippines. It is a diminutive slender clustering palm with pluricostulate coriaceous leaflets, rather few, short and arching to reflexed rachillae, which bear relatively large distichously arranged and closely-set ovoid-ellipsoidal fruits. Additionally, we rediscovered P. samarana, hitherto known from type material that was first collected more than a century ago, and provided an amended description based on recent collections and field observations. Discussions on their morphology, habitat, distribution, ecology, conservation status, and comparisons with putatively closest congeners are included. Furthermore, we herein provided a tentative key for the functional groups of Philippine Pinanga and for the two species described.

A new annual species of Drosera section Arachnopus, Drosera margaritacea, from the western Kimberley region (Western Australia) is described and illustrated, including detailed comparisons with the morphologically most similar species, D. finlaysoniana. The latter name is lectotypified here. The global range of D. finlaysoniana is provided, including a doubtful first record for Thailand, while the species, in contrast with statements made in some published references, does not occur in India, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Additionally, the first record from Indonesia of the frequently misidentified D. aquatica is reported.

On the taxonomy of Palaemon javanicus Heller, 1862, and Palaemon sundaicus Heller, 1862, with description of a new species of Macrobrachium Bate, 1868 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonidae) from Southeast Asia

Subjective Synonym

Re-examination of the type material of Palaemon javanicus Heller, 1862, shows that the current concept of the species is wrong. This species is in fact a senior subjective synonym of a widespread Southeast Asian species now known as Macrobrachium trompii (De Man, 1898). The species now commonly referred to as “Macrobrachium javanicum” following De Man (1879) from Southeast Asia is in fact, undescribed, and is here named Macrobrachium duri spec. nov. Macrobrachium duri spec. nov. can easily be distinguished from M. javanicum sensu stricto by the presence of a small triangular median process on the fourth thoracic sternite, possessing spinulate third to fifth pereiopods, having both second periopods covered with spines and few scattered short stiff setae, and the eggs been small and numerous. To add to the confusion, Palaemon javanicus Heller, 1862, is also synonymous with P. sundaicus Heller, 1862, and both were described by Heller (1862) in the same paper, making both names simultaneously available. As first revisors, we hereby choose P. sundaicus Heller, 1862, to have priority over P. javanicus Heller, 1862, when the two names are considered to be synonyms. Palaemon sundaicus Heller, 1862, is therefore also the senior synonym of Macrobrachium trompii (De Man, 1898).

First Descriptions

The Neotropical species of Genea Rondani, 1850 (Diptera, Tachinidae, Tachininae, Leskiini) are revised by the examination of type-material of almost all species and a large material deposited in many scientific collections. G. australis (Townsend), G. brasiliensis (Townsend), G. gracilis James, G. jaynesi (Aldrich), G. major (Townsend), G. pellucens (Curran), G. tenuirostris (James), G. trifaria (Wiedemann) were keyed and redescribed with the first descriptions of male terminalia. G. longipalpis (Wulp) was not included in this study as no material was examined and the available data are restricted to the original description. G. glossata (Townsend) is proposed as a junior synonym of G. trifaria. G. paulistana sp. nov. from São Paulo is proposed as a new species.
