The loach genus Oreonectes is reviewed in this study. Six valid species are recognized, including two new species. Oreonectes polystigmus sp. nov., and Oreonectes microphthalmus sp. nov. are described from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Among its congeners, O. polystigmus is most similar to O. platycephalus in morphology. It can be distinguished from all its congeners by an incomplete lateral line with 6–8 pores; a cephalic lateral-line system with 7 supraorbital and 4+7 infraorbital pores; sexual dimorphism (males have a genital papilla located immediately posterior of the anus, and the gonad is opened at the end of a fleshy prominence); and a body with many differently shaped spots. Oreonectes microphthalmus is most similar to O. furcocaudalis in morphology. It can be distinguished from all congeners by its degenerate eyes, which only have black pigment; a cephalic lateral-line system with 2+2 supratemporal, 7 supraorbital, 3+0 infraorbital and 8 preoperculomandibular pores; and an incomplete lateral line with 3 pores. A key to all valid Oreonectes species is provided. The validity of some related species is discussed. Nemacheilus liboensis, Oreonectes liboensis and Oreonectes translucens are all proved to be synonyms of Paracobitis longibarbatus, and Paracobitis longibarbatus is actually a species of Triplophysa.

Four species of spider genusCheiracanthiumC. L. Koch, 1839 are reported from Jinggang Mountains, Jiangxi Province, China. Two of them are described as new to science:C.auriculatumsp. n.(♀♂) andC.echinulatumsp. n.(♂).CheiracanthiumtaiwanicumChen, Huang, Chen & Wang, 2006 is recorded from Mainland China for the first time.CheiracanthiumzhejiangenseHu & Song, 1982, the most similar species toC.auriculatumsp. n., is a newly recorded species of Jiangxi Province. Detailed descriptions, diagnoses, and photographs of the two new species are given.CheiracanthiumtaiwanicumandC.zhejiangenseare also illustrated.

AbstractTwo new species of idoteid isopods, Syraidolea fecunda and S. indica, from the Pakistan coast, are described, figured and compared to closely related species. The genus Synidotea is now reported for the first time from Pakistan. Both new species were collected in the rocky intertidal of Manora Island, Karachi.

Two new noctuid species, Ecpatia grisescens sp. n., E. spiculivalva sp. n. are described from Thailand based on a combination of morphological characters and DNA barcodes. Morphological structures and genetic distances are compared to those of related species. Ecpatia sciachroa Hampson, 1926 and Ecpatia obscura Holloway, 2009 are reporded from Thailand for the first time, and a checklist of 17 valid species of Ecpatia is provided.

Noteridae, Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) from Gabon (eighth part). Monts de Cristal. This work concerns the Coleoptera Hydradephaga collected in eight localities of Monts de Cristal (Republic of Gabon) included locality of Tchimbélé into the National Park of Monts de Cristal in years 2006 - 2010; altogether 76 species are listed (3 Noteridae and 73 Dytiscidae) of which 51 species found in the Park. The authors describe two new species: <em>Copelatus angouei</em> (group <em>consors</em>, sensu Guignot, 1961, distinguishable from other species of group by small size, the robust conformation, the upper side clearly microreticulate covered by fine and thick punctuation which give it an opaque look and by characteristic penis), <em>Copelatus nguemai</em> (group <em>irinus</em>, subgroup <em>assimilis</em>, sensu Guignot, 1961, related to assimilis Régimbart, 1895, distinguishable by longer spine of metatibia clearly curved at third apical in both sexes and by characteristic penis) and one new subspecies: <em>Copelatus lasckonyi tchimbelensis</em> (group <em>irinus</em>, subgroup <em>irinus</em>, sensu Guignot, 1961, characterized by very small size, by narrowed profile of the body from shoulders in some specimens and by the upper side finely microreticulate, penis, very characteristic, is identical to typical form). The examination of two sintypes of <em>Copelatus variegatus</em> Régimbart, 1895 (group <em>erichsoni</em>, subgroup <em>atrosulcatus</em>, sensu Guignot, 1961) of Muséum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle of Paris and of specimens of related species of the Museums of Tervuren and Bruxelles permitted the determination of the specimens of <em>C. variegatus c</em>ollected during research and the redescription of the species known till now by the two sintypes (here respectively designate lectotype and paralectotype); meanwhile a new species has been identified: <em>Copelatus mendax</em>, belonging to same group and subgroup of <em>C.</em> <em>variegatus</em>, misidentified with veritable <em>C. variegatus</em>. Some <em>taxa</em> of aquatic macroinvertebrates (Hexapoda, Malacostraca, <em>Clitellata</em> et Mollusca) in the zone collected and determined by a Researcher of IRAF (CENAREST, Gabon), Blaise Mboye Rollinat, who had participated in mission 2010, are furnished. Observations on some of the collected species and some ecological data of the biocenoses that populate the zone and some considerations on aquatic Coleoptera habitats are presented. The name of the species <em>Copelatus efoutensis</em> Bilardo &amp; Rocchi, 1995 is amended in efotensis<em>.</em> <em>Hydrovatus senegalensis</em> Régimbart, 1895 and <em>Uvarus barombicus</em> Bilardo, 1982 are signalled for the first time of Gabon.

Aristolochia longissima and Aristolochia ornithorhyncha, two new species from the lowland moist forest from the Pacific watershed of southern Costa Rica and western Panama, are described and illustrated. Both species can be distinguished from most other species of Aristolochia series Thyrsicae, because of their leaves with pellucid gland dots, which are here documented in Aristolochiaceae for the first time. Comments about their distribution, habitat, phenology, conservation status and distinction from related species are provided. The circumscription of Aristolochia belizensis, A. chapmaniana, A. fragrantissima, A. ovalifolia, A. schmidtiana and A. tonduzii is discussed.
