Ptychocroca, new genus, is described and illustrated. As presently defined, the genus includes eight species: P. apenicillia, new species, from Chile; P. nigropenicillia, new species, from Chile; P. lineabasalis, new species, from Chile; P. keelioides, new species, from Chile; P. simplex, new species, from Chile; P. crocoptycha (Meyrick), new combination, from Argentina and Chile; P. wilkinsoni (Butler), new combination, from Chile; and P. galenia (Razowski), new combination, from Chile. We present brief diagnoses for the related genera Apotomops Powell and Obraztsov, Bonagota Razowski, Haemateulia Razowski, and Acmanthina Brown, along with descriptions of two new species of Apotomops (A. boliviana and A. spomotopa, new species). We also propose two new combinations, Apotomops carchicola (Razowski and Becker) and A. sololana (Razowski), and the synonymy of Bonagota cranaodes (Meyrick) with B. salubricola (Meyrick).

Forty-one species in five genera of bitentaculate cirratulids are reported from new collections from South America, the Southern Ocean, and seas around Antarctica. Twenty-seven species are new to science; one new genus is described to deal with some species formerly identified as Chaetozone. New records, synonymies, and new combinations are reported. Previous records are reviewed with type specimens of most species reexamined and redescribed. The sub-Antarctic species Aphelochaeta cincinnata (Ehlers, 1908) does not occur in Antarctica: the numerous published records of this species instead belong to several new species. The types of Tharyx epitocus Monro, 1930, and Tharyx fusiformis Monro, 1939, have spines in posterior setigers and are referred to other genera. Among the 41 species treated in this study, 11 belong to Aphelochaeta, eight are new; eight species belong to Caulleriella, six are new; six species belong to Chaetocirratulus n. gen., three are new; 12 species belong to Chaetozone, seven are new; and four species belong to Tharyx, three are new. Numerous samples come from slope and abyssal depths, expanding our knowledge of the distribution of Southern hemisphere deep-sea cirratulids.

The Oriental and Australasian species of Acmopolynema Ogloblin (Mymaridae) are reviewed; a key to 19 species with known females is given. The genus Baburia Hedquist is synonymized under Acmopolynema and its type species is transferred to Acmopolynema as A. narendrani (Hedquist) comb. n. Ten new species of Acmopolynema are described: A. capeyorki sp. n. (Australia), A. dilemma sp. n. (China), A. garemma sp. n. (Indonesia), A. isaura sp. n. (Indonesia), A. lurindu sp. n. (Nepal), A. neznakomka sp. n. (Papua New Guinea), A. nupta sp. n. (Nepal), A. orchidea sp. n. (Taiwan), A. problema sp. n. (India), and A. shinbana sp. n. (Malaysia). The following new synonymies are proposed: A. maculata Subba Rao and A. nixoni Subba Rao under A. orientale (Narayanan, Subba Rao & Kaur), A. reticoxilla Xu & Lin under A. longicoxillum Xu & Lin, A. himalum Hayat & Anis under A. indochinense (Soyka), and Baburia fasciata Hedquist under A. tachikawai Taguchi. The genera Chaetomymar Ogloblin and Acanthomymar Subba Rao are synonymized under Palaeoneura Waterhouse, which is redescribed along with its type species, P. interrupta Waterhouse (Australia). Ten species of Chaetomymar, 32 Australian species described originally in Polynema Haliday, Polynema nigrum (Subba Rao) (type species of Acanthomymar), and Acmopolynema unimaculatum Hayat & Anis are transferred to Palaeoneura as new combinations. Polynema ara Girault (= P. blackbourni Girault, syn. n. and P. helena Girault, syn. n.) is transferred to Richteria Girault; P. elatum Girault, P. glabricorpus Girault, P. grotiusi Girault, P. lodgei Girault and P. wallacei Girault are transferred to Agalmopolynema Ogloblin, all comb. n. from Polynema. One new genus and one new subgenus are described: Boccacciomymar gen. n., with type species Palaeoneura turneri Waterhouse (Australia) and Prosto, subgen. n. of Boccacciomymar, with type species Polynema victoria Girault (Australia). Polynema schumanni Girault and P. quadripetiolatum Girault are synonymized under Boccacciomymar (B.) turneri (Waterhouse), comb. n. from Palaeoneura. Palaeoneura evanescens Waterhouse is transferred to Boccacciomymar as B. (B.) evanescens (Waterhouse), comb. n.; Polynema aligherini Girault and P. victoria are transferred to Boccacciomymar (Prosto) as, respectively, B. (P.) aligherini (Girault), comb. n. and B. (P.) victoria (Girault), comb. n. Two new species of Boccacciomymar (Boccacciomymar) and four new species of B. (Prosto) are described: B. (B.) conquistador sp. n. (Australia), B. (B.) decameron sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) maria sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) nigugu sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) pobeda sp. n. (New Zealand), and B. (P.) tak sp. n. (New Zealand). A key to the Australian Polynema-group genera of Mymaridae is provided. The Neotropical genus Xenopolynema Ogloblin, stat. rev., with type species X. areolatum Ogloblin stat. rev., is removed from previous synonymy under Polynema, reinstated as a valid genus, and re-diagnosed based on the type specimens from Argentina and new material from Chile; its relationships with Boccacciomymar are discussed.

We also provide diagnostic characters and an updated annotated catalogue of the following related genera: newly restored Johanssoniella Koçak, Brachinepticula gen. nov., Enteucha Meyrick (s. str.) and Manoneura Davis. In the Annotated Catalogue, we provide five new combinations and new data on morphology, biology, and distribution of some species, including the first photographic documentation of Manoneura basidactyla Davis discovered in the Amazon rainforest, results of re-examination of the male genitalia of the European Johanssonia acetosae (Stt.), also the first documentation of the male genitalia, host plant and leaf mines of the little known Johanssoniella diplocosma (Meyrick) from the Himalayas. All new taxa treated in the paper are illustrated with drawings and (or) photographs of the adults and genitalia; photographs of the leaf mines of Brachinepticula plurilobata Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov. and Johanssoniella diplocosma (Meyrick) are also provided.

This publication treats species within Theopea and closely allied genera that were not covered in the previous two revisions. Three species of Theopea Baly, 1864 are treated herein, with T. bicolor Kimoto, 1989 and T. mouhoti Baly, 1864 redescribed, and T. bicoloroidessp. nov. described. A new genus that we consider closely related to Theopea, Pseudotheopeagen. nov., is described. This new genus can be recognized with the presence of reticulate microsculpture on the vertex of the head and pronotum and presence of an apical spine on each metatibia. The following species are transferred to Pseudotheopea as new combinations: Theopea aeneipennis Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963, T. azurea Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963, T. clypealis Medvedev, 2015, T. nigrita Medvedev, 2007, T. smaragdina Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963, T. similis Kimoto, 1989, and T. subviridis Medvedev, 2012. Theopea subviridis Medvedev, 2012 is regarded as new synonym of Pseudotheopea similis (Kimoto, 1989). In addition, six new species of Pseudotheopea are described: P. borerisp. nov. from India, P. gressittisp. nov. from Philippines, P. hsingtzungisp. nov. from Laos, P. kimotoisp. nov. from Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, P. leehsuehaesp. nov. from Laos, and P. sufangaesp. nov. from Taiwan. A second new genus regarded as closely related to Pseudotheopea, Borneotheopeagen. nov., can be recognized by possessing uniform antennae in both sexes and lacking an apical spine on each metatibia. Two new species of Borneotheopea are described from Borneo: B. jaklisp. nov. and B. kalimantanensissp. nov.
