Genital Structure

Thirty-four new species and five new genera of euophryine jumping spiders from Papua New Guinea are described. Thenew genera are Chalcolemia (type species C. nakanai sp. nov.), Phasmolia (type species P. elegans sp. nov.), Variratina(type species V. minuta sp. nov.), Viribestus (type species V. suyanensis sp. nov.) and Zabkattus (type species Z. brevis sp.nov., plus new species Z. furcatus sp. nov., Z. richardsi sp. nov. and Z. trapeziformis sp. nov.). The other new species belong to the genera Bathippus (B. directus sp. nov., B. gahavisuka sp. nov., B. korei sp. nov., B. madang sp. nov.), Canama(C. extranea sp. nov., C. fimoi sp. nov., C. triramosa sp. nov.), Omoedus (O. brevis sp. nov., O. darleyorum sp. nov., O.meyeri sp. nov., O. omundseni sp. nov., O. papuanus sp. nov., O. swiftorum sp. nov., O. tortuosus sp. nov.), Paraharmochi-rus (P. tualapaensis sp. nov.), Sobasina (S. wanlessi sp. nov.), Thorelliola (T. aliena sp. nov., T. crebra sp. nov., T. joannaesp. nov., T. squamosa sp. nov., T. tamasi sp. nov., T. tualapa sp. nov., T. zabkai sp. nov.) and Xenocytaea (X. agnarssonisp. nov., X. albomaculata sp. nov., X. proszynskii sp. nov.). The genera Pystira and Zenodorus are both considered as juniorsynonyms of Omoedus because of their similar genital structure. Species of these two genera are therefore transferred toOmoedus. Diagnostic illustrations are provided for all new species, and photographs of living spiders are also provided when available.

A previously unreported radiation of myrmarachnine jumping spiders from New Guinea is described, which, although having few known species, is remarkably diverse in body forms. This clade is the new subtribe Levieina, represented by seven new species in three new genera. WithinLevieagen. n.are three new species,L.herbertisp. n.,L.lornaesp. n., andL.francesaesp. n., all of which are unusual among the myrmarachnines in appearing as typical salticids, not antlike.Papuamyrgen. n.superficially resemblesLigonipesKarsch, 1878 orRhombonotusL. Koch, 1879 as a compact antlike spider, but lacks their laterally-compressed palp and bears an ectal spur on the paturon of the chelicera. Two species ofPapuamyrgen. n.are described,Papuamyromhifosgasp. n.andP.pandorasp. n.Agorioidesgen. n., containingA.cherubinosp. n.andA.papagenasp. n., is antlike, with the carapace sunken inwards (concave) between the posterior lateral and posterior median eyes. Phylogenetic analysis of data from the 28S, 16SND1, and COI gene regions of 29 species of myrmarachnines shows that the three new genera form a clade that is sister to the subtribe Myrmarachnina (Myrmarachnesensu lato), with the subtribe Ligonipedina less closely related.

The key includes eight genera known to occur in Australia and Papua New Guinea. These are Ctenarytaina Ferris & Klyver (type genus), Syncarpiolyma Froggatt, Eriopsylla Froggatt, Blastopsylla Taylor, Anoeconeossa Taylor, Leptospermonastes Taylor, and two new genera, Agelaeopsylla and Cryptoneossa. Keys to the species in Agelaeopsylh, Cryptoneossa and Leptospermonastes are given. Agelaeopsylla contains five new species, A. dividua (type species), A. maculatae, A. corymbiae, A. papuanae (which also occurs in Papua New Guinea), and A. insolita. They feed mainly on Angophora and two 'subgenera' of Eucalyptus (Corymbia and Blakella). The hosts of Cryptoneossa, which contains five new species, C. vulgaris (type species), C. occidentalis, C. triangula, C. minuta, and C. leptospermi, are mainly in the 'subgenera' Monocalyptus and Corymbia of Eucalyptus; some are found on Symphyomyrtus and smaller subgenera, one on Angophora, and one on Leptospermum. Two new species of Leptospermonastes are described; L. maculosipennis and L. fasciata were both collected from Melaleuca spp., a new host for this genus. Eriopsylla and its type species, E. viridis, are redescribed, with one new species, E. malleensis.

The Papuan endemic genus Dobodura Darlington is taxonomically revised, with five newly described species — Dobodura alildablldooya sp. n., D. hexaspina sp. n., D. obtusa sp. n., D. svensoni sp. n., and D. toxopei sp. n. — complementing the type species, D. armata Darlington. The sympatric Dobodura alildablldooya and D. svensoni are described from Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea. Known distributions of the other three new species are: D. hexaspina, Madang Province, P.N.G.; D. obtusa, Olsobip, Fly River, Western Province, P.N.G.; and D. toxopei, Bernhard Camp, Papua, Indonesia. Dobodura is the sole precinctive Papuan genus in an Australian-Papuan clade also including Clarencia Sloane, Dicraspeda Chaudoir, and Eudalia Laporte. Phylogenetic analysis of Dobodura places its known earliest divergence event on the northern New Guinea margin of the Australian craton. Later divergence events result in species occupying island-arc terranes progressively incorporated into present-day northern New Guinea, commencing in the Miocene.

Abstract. Two new genera and eight new species of benthic foraminifera are described from the shallow water, tropical lagoon of Madang, Papua New Guinea. The new hauerinid genus Pseudolachlanella is characterized by juvenile cryptoquinqueloculine, adult almost massiline arranged chambers, and a slitlike, curved aperture with parallel sides and a long, slender, curved miliolid tooth. Pitella haigi n. gen., n. sp. is a new foraminifera with cryptoquinqueloculine arranged chambers, an almost entirely pitted shell surface (pseudopores) and a rounded aperture with a short simple tooth. Among the other species described as new are four hauerinids and two agglutinated foraminifera All new species described here occur sporadically in the shallow water back- and forereef environments of the lagoon (0–55m), and live infaunally and epifaunally in well-oxygenated, fine and coarse grained biogenic sediments. They are absent in muddy, organic-rich, low-oxygen sedimentary environments within bay inlets where variations of salinity are considerable.

Paramedetera, gen. nov., is described on the basis of three species: P. papuensis, sp. nov., the type species from Papua New Guinea, P. sumatrensis, sp. nov., from the lowlands in West Sumatra, and P. orientalis (Hollis, 1964), comb. nov., from the highlands in West Sumatra. Paramedetera, gen. nov., is closely allied to Medetera, but is a more ancestral branch. It is phylogenetically situated between on one hand Corindia and Thrypticus and on the other hand Medetera and Dolichophorus.

Abstract Four new species of Heth are described from diplopods collected in different parts of Viet Nam: Heth vietnamensis sp. n. and H. tonkinensis sp. n. in Ba Vi National Park, Ha Tay Province; H. taybaci sp. n. in Lai Chau Province and H. taynguyeni sp. n. in Chu Yang Sin National Park, Dak Lak Province. The new species are morphologically related to those described from Papua New Guinea, but are differentiated by the form of the female cuticular armature. Heth vietnamensis sp. n. is characterised by the posterior end of the lappets overhanging the anterior pair of the lateral spines, the similar size of spines in both pairs and the presence of two pairs of small papillae on the anterior lip of the cloacal aperture. Heth tonkinensis sp. n. can be differentiated from the other species by having the longest lappets, lateral spines with fused bases and the unequal-sized spicule heads. Heth taybaci sp. n. has the shortest lappets of the described Vietnamese species, has gaps between the lateral spines that are wider than the spine base and the presence of a bursa-like cuticular fold at cloacal aperture level. Heth taynguyeni sp. n. males also have a bursa-like cuticular fold but, unlike H. taybaci sp. n., this species is characterised by the bifurcate distal tips of the spicule and the undulating inner margin of the lappets.

Nematodes, comprising 17 species, including 3 new genera, 4 new species and 3 putative new species, from the families Chabertiidae, Heligmonellidae, Herpetostrongylidae, Molineidae, Oxyuridae and Spiruridae were collected from the digestive tracts of 31 Paramelomys rubex (Murinae: Hydromyini) from Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Mawsonema mokwanensis n. gen., n. sp. differs from all other genera in the Heligmonellidae in the characters of the synlophe, 15 ridges oriented sub frontally in the anterior body, the asymmetry of the bursa, the left lobe larger and the proportions of the dorsal ray. Melomystrongylus somoroensis n. sp. differs from its congener M. sepikensis in the number of ridges in the synlophe and the length of the spicules and female tail. A combination of the characters of the synlophe, 15 ridges oriented 55–60° from the saggital plane, lacking a carene, the asymmetry of the bursa and the proportions of the dorsal rays distinguishes Montistrongylus ingati n. gen., n. sp. from all other helligmonellids. Paraheligmosomoides singauwaensis is redescribed. It can be distinguished from P. amplicaudae n. sp., which has a similar number of synlophe ridges, but of differing proportions by the shape of the female tail and the proportions of the bursal lobes. Paraheligmosomoides ennisae n. sp. is characterized by the number of ridges of the synlophe, the shape of the female posterior end and the trilobed right spicule tip. Parasabanema n. gen., n. sp. differs from other heligmonellid genera in the arrangement and proportions of the 45 ridges and the left lateral dilatation of the synlophe. The herpetostrongylid Paraustrostrongylus paramelomysi n. sp. can be distinguished from its congenerics by a combination of characters including the number of synlophe ridges, the extent of the lateral floats in the female and the length of the proximally twisted spicules. Species richness of this nematode assemblage is similar to that of Melomys rufescens and Uromys caudimaculatus but species composition is not. Ten, including the three putative species, of the 17 species found in this study were unique to P. rubex. Biogeographic distributions within the helminth assemblage were discussed.
