Considered one of the most common harpacticoid families in deep-sea benthos, the Aegisthidae can be found in varioustypes of marine sediments and at different depths. During the fourth leg of the ninth expedition of RV Polarstern in theArctic Ocean (ARK-IX/4) in September 1993, three new representatives of the genus Cerviniella were collected in mul-ticorer samples from the Laptev Sea at depths of 760-2017 m. The new species have a close relationship, as indicated by thecombination of shared characters: distal segment of antennule with aesthetasc, antennary endopod with two setae and one spinelaterally, and four spines and three setae apically; and the same number of armature elements on the maxillula and maxilla.Cerviniella danae sp. nov. and C. hitoshii sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from their congeners primarily by the reductionof the antennules to only five segments, which is common to both species but unique in Cerviniella. Cerviniella danae sp. nov.is most readily separated from other described species by the armature of the antennule and maxilliped, and the spine and setaformulae of the swimming legs. For C. hitoshii sp. nov., major diagnostic differences are found in the maxilliped, segmentationand setation of P3 and P4 endopods, and P6 represented by three setae. Cerviniella arctica sp. nov. is unique in the combinationof the following characters: caudal rami extremely elongated, armature of the antennules and mandible, and the spine and setaformulae of the swimming legs. Based on a review of the literature, an updated listing of the P1-P4 armature and a key to species of the genus are presented.

Three New Species

A new calanoid copepod species, Brodskius arcticus sp. nov. (family Tharybidae Sars, 1902), and three new species of a new genus Pertsovius gen. nov. (family Discoidae Gordejeva, 1975) are described from deep waters of the Arctic Canada Basin. The female of Brodskius arcticus differs from five of the other six known species of this genus in the absence of rostral filaments, the lack of which it shares with B. abyssalis Markhaseva & Schulz, 2007. This new species differs from B. abyssalis in having two very short outer proximal spines at the distal segment of the fifth swimming legs (P5). The length of these spines is less than half the width of the segment, whereas in B. abyssalis they are longer than the width of the segment. The new genus Pertsovius is created here for a group of seven species within the family Discoidae which have one-segmented endopods of Р 2-Р4. In contrast, the other genera of this family have three-segmented endopods of Р 2-Р4. The three new species of Pertsovius differ from each other in the appearance of the genital field, and in the number of outer border spines on the distal exopodal segment of P2. In Pertsovius tridentatus sp. nov. this segment bears three external spines on both left and right P2. The left Р 2 of P. heterodentatus sp. nov. has three spines, while the right Р 2 bears two spines only. The distal segments of both left and right Р 2 of P. serratus sp. nov. have two external spines, but the proximal part of the external margin on the left Р 2 bears three relatively large denticles. The distal exopodal segments of Р 2 of the other four species here transferred to the genus Pertsovius are smooth with no external spines or denticles, but each bears two outer border spines.

Based on light and scanning electron microscopical studies of nematode specimens from the digestive tract of some rarely collected anguilliform and perciform fishes off New Caledonia, three new species of Cucullanus Müller, 1777 (Cucullanidae) are described: C. austropacificus n. sp. from the longfin African conger Conger cinereus (Congridae), C. gymnothoracis n. sp. from the lipspot moray Gymnothorax chilospilus (Muraenidae), and C. incognitus n. sp. from the seabream Dentex fourmanoiri (Sparidae). Cucullanus austropacificus n. sp. is characterized by the presence of cervical alae, ventral sucker, alate spicules 1.30–1.65 mm long, conspicuous outgrowths of the anterior and posterior cloacal lips and by elongate-oval eggs measuring 89–108 × 48–57 μm; C. gymnothoracis n. sp. is similar to the foregoing species, but differs from it in the absence of cervical alae and the posterior cloacal outgrowth, in the shape and size of the anterior cloacal outgrowth and somewhat shorter spicules 1.12 mm long; C. incognitus n. sp. (based on female morphology) differs from other congeneric species parasitic in the Sparidae mainly in possessing cervical alae, the postequatorial vulva, phasmids situated at the mid-length of the tail and in the size of the eggs (75–84 × 45–66 μm). A key to species of Cucullanus parasitizing anguilliform fishes is provided.

The Syrphidae genus Domodon Reemer, 2013 so far included two species, D. zodiacus Reemer, 2013 and D. peperpotensis Reemer, 2014, both recorded only from Suriname. Additional specimens belonging to this genus have been collected in many other localities in South and Central America. In this paper, the genus is revised and three new species are described: D. caxiuana sp. nov. (northern South America), D. inaculeatus sp. nov. (northern South America), and D. sensibilis sp. nov. (Costa Rica). The distribution of D. peperpotensis is extended to include French Guiana. Photographs of the type material of the new species and illustrations of male genitalia of all species are provided, as well as a key to species.

Three New Species

Three new species of Cloacininae are described from Dorcopsis muelleri obtained from Salawati Island and Kaimana, Papua. Cloacina woworae sp. nov. differs from all congeners by having postero-lateral and medio-lateral rays not fused and the esophagus wider anterior to the nerve ring. Compared to its congeners, C. beveridgei sp. nov. resembles C. caballeroi Mawson, 1977, C. cretheis Beveridge, 2002, C. erigone Beveridge, 2002, and C. syphax Beveridge & Speare, 1999 in the morphology of the dorsal ray.  However, C. beveridgei has distal segments of sub-median papillae longer than the proximal segments. This character differentiates it from C. caballeroi, C. cretheis, and C. erigone, which have the distal segment of the sub-median papilla shorter than the proximal. Furthermore, this new species can be distinguished with C. syphax in having a shorter vagina vera and in the shape of the anterior region of the vagina. Cervonemella kaimanaensis sp. nov. differs from Ce. reardoni, the sole species in the genus Cervonemella, in the shape and longer vagina, shorter and slender tail, shorter position of vulva from posterior end and longer spicules.
