This paper reports on two species of callianassid ghost shrimps collected from reducing environments in Japan. Cheramuscavifrons n. sp. is described on the basis of five specimens from an invertebrate community associated with mass sinkingof whale carcasses implanted off Cape Nomamisaki, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, at depths of 219–254 m. This newspecies is compared with Cheramus spinophthalmus (Sakai, 1970), Callianassa aqabaensis Dworschak, 2003 andCallianassa acutirostella Sakai, 1988. The generic assignment of the new species is provisional, reflecting the flux stateof the taxonomy of the family. Nihonotrypaea thermophila Lin, Komai & Chan, 2007, originally described fromhydrothermally influenced field off northeastern Taiwan, is first recorded from outside the type locality, based on a singlespecimen from hydrothermally influenced field in Kagoshima Bay, where the siboglinid tube worm Lamellibrachia satsuma Miura, Tsukahara and Hashimoto, 1997, is abundant.

This paper reports on mites of the family Pachylaelapidae collected in Bayburt Province, Turkey, during 2013–2015. Nine species were recorded in the genera Pachyseius, Olopachys, Pachylaelaps, and Onchodellus. Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) bayburtensis sp. nov., Onchodellus turcicus sp. nov. and O. montanus sp. nov. are described to new, and Pachylaelaps (Longipachylaelaps) vicarus is a new record for the Turkish mite fauna. New records extend the geographic range of Pachyseius masani, Olopachys hallidayi, and O. elongatus in Turkey.

First Time

The family Anthomyzidae (Diptera: Acalyptrata) is recorded from China for the first time based on 11 species, 6 of them new to science. A distinctive new genus Marshallya gen. nov. is described, based on single peculiar species, M. platythorax sp. nov. (both sexes) from Sichuan. Other new species, viz. Amygdalops sevciki sp. nov. (Hainan I.) (both sexes), Epischnomyia tkoci sp. nov. (Sichuan) (male only), Anthomyza ornata sp. nov. (Sichuan) (female only), Anthomyza sulphurea sp. nov. (Yunnan) (both sexes) and Arganthomyza hyperseta sp. nov. (Shaanxi) (male only) are described and illustrated in detail. Male-female association of two Amygdalops species is clarified by means of molecular barcoding and the female of A. bisinus Roháček, 2008 is correctly identifi ed and described. Relationships of all these taxa are discussed. Five species, viz. Amygdalops bisinus (Hainan I.), Epischnomyia merzi Roháček, 2009, Anthomyza cuneata Roháček, 1987, Anthomyza trifurca Sueyoshi & Roháček, 2003 (all from Sichuan) and Arganthomyza versitheca Roháček, 2009 (Shaanxi, Sichuan) are new additions to the Chinese fauna of Anthomyzidae. DNA sequences of the barcoding region of COI have been obtained for 3 species, Amygdalops bisinus, Amygdalops sevciki and Marshallya platythorax. Biology and distribution of all 11 species are discussed. First photographs of living Anthomyzidae from East Asia are presented. Based on knowledge of Anthomyzidae from neighbouring areas the diversity of the Chinese fauna of the family is estimated to include 50-60 species.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Pseudechiniscus, Pseudechiniscus papillosus sp. nov., is described and figured in this paper. This new species differs from the other species of the genus Pseudechiniscus by plate sculpture that consists of many papillae-like projections. Four new records of Echiniscus species and one new record of a Pseudechiniscus species are also reported in this article: Echiniscus cheonyoungi Moon & Kim, E. melanophthalmus Bartoš, E. nepalensis Dastych, E. trisetosus Cuénot and Pseudechiniscus asper Abe Utsugi & Takeda.

Extinct Genus

The taxonomy of the Polycentropodidae is discussed, and the family is divided into 4 newly defined diagnostic genus clusters based primarily on wing characters and number of spurs on the legs. The diagnostic genus clusters are the Neureclipsis diagnostic genus cluster with Neureclipsis McLachlan and Neucentropus Martynov; the Polycentropus diagnostic genus cluster with Polycentropus Curtis, Plectrocnemia Stephens, Holocentropus McLachlan, and Polyplectropus Ulmer; the Cyrnus diagnostic genus cluster with Nyctiophylax Brauer, Cyrnus Stephens, Cyrnopsis Martynov, Cyrnellus Banks, and Adectophylax Neboiss; and the Cyrnodes diagnostic genus cluster with Cyrnodes Ulmer, Cernotina Ross, and Pahamunaya Schmid. The extinct genus Archaeoneureclipsis Ulmer is synonymised with Neureclipsis McLachlan; the extant genus Tasmanoplegas Neboiss is synonymised with Plectrocnemia Stephens; the extant genus Eodipseudopsis Marlier is synonymised with Polyplectropus Ulmer; and the extinct genus Nyctiophylacodes Ulmer is synonymized with Nyctiophylax Brauer. The following 8 new species are described in Plectrocnemia: P. martynovi (Myanmar), P. ambaita (Myanmar), P. kachin (Myanmar), P. taungyia (Myanmar), P. dalat (Vietnam), P. kamba (Myanmar), P. malaisei (Myanmar), and P. thai (Vietnam). The following 11 new species are described in Polyplectropus: P. daimong (Vietnam), P. dinhdan (Vietnam), P. giandi (Vietnam), P. jalan (Malaysia), P. pairavatika (Malaysia), P. vanuatu (Vanuatu), P. coronivia (Fiji), P. palma (Fiji), P. vanda (Fiji), P. vanua (Fiji), and P. wainimbuk (Fiji). The following 2 new species are described in the subgenus Nyctiophylax (Nyctiophylax): N. (N.) hotay (Vietnam) and N. (N.) catunujah (Myanmar).

Two new species of Opilioacaridae from Mexico are described, Neocarus chactemalensis sp. nov. and N. comalensis sp. nov., and new records for N. texanus Chamberlin & Mulaik and N. veracruzensis Vazquez & Klompen are presented. Relative positions of internal structures of the ovipositor, a highly variable character, are described based on comparisons of invaginated and evaginated ovipositors. A study of records of Opilioacaridae in Mexico shows that the group is distributed across a wide range of ecosystems and elevations, from dry, semi-desert to wet tropical forest, and coastal plains to the altiplano (>2,000m).

Xenuraega bythionekta sp. nov., is described from a single specimen taken off southern Japan. It is the second species of Xenuraega Tattersall, 1909, and extends the known range of the genus from North Atlantic to the northern Pacific Ocean. The species is characterized by the posteriorly narrowed pleotelson, and both uropodal rami being elongate and provided with a mass of long plumose setae. Xenuraega bythionekta sp. nov. is known only from the type locality, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan at a depth of 1178–1179 m.
