Two new species Folsomia aquatica sp. nov. and Folsomia sanjiangensis sp. nov. from north-eastern China are described. F. aquatica was only found in wetlands, it belongs to quadrioculata-group, it can be distinguished from other species in the group by the combination of the following characters: ommatidia absent; microsensillar formula as1,1/1,0,0; VT with 4+4 latero-distal and usually 7 (6–10) posterior chaetae; 1+1 chaeta on anterior side of manubrium. F. sanjiangensis was found in forest and wetlands, it belongs to sensibilis-group and characterized by ommatidia absent; median sensilla on abdomen within p-row of chaetae; fifth segment of abdomen with a pair of leaf-like sensilla on each side; and 3 chaetae on lateral sides of manubrium.

Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758 is the largest genus in the scorpionfly family Panorpidae. Herein we describe two new species from eastern China, Panorpa jinhuaensissp. nov. from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province and Panorpa menqiuleiisp. nov. from Yuexi and Huoshan, Anhui Province. Panorpa wrightae Cheng, 1957 from Mount Mogan, Zhejiang Province is considered to be a junior subjective synonym of Panorpa mokansana Cheng, 1957 from the same locality. Panorpa mokansana Cheng, 1957 is redescribed and illustrated in detail. A key to species of Panorpa from eastern China is also provided.

Two new species of Athenaea Sendtn. (Solanaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest are described and illustrated. Athenaea altoserranae I.M.C. Rodrigues & Stehmann, sp. nov. from the Serra do Mar range, in São Paulo State and Athenaea hunzikeriana I.M.C. Rodrigues & Stehmann, sp. nov. from a restricted area in the north-eastern region of Minas Gerais State and the southern part of Bahia State. Both species have brown to purple-brown or purple mature fruits, a character not found in other species of Athenaea. Descriptions, illustrations, complete specimen citations and maps of both species are provided. A dichotomous key to all species of Athenaea is also presented.

The millipede, Niponia nodulosa Verhoeff, 1931 is recorded from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, eastern China, for the first time. Two new species of the genus Epanerchodus Attems, 1901 are described from the Jiangzhe Area: Epanerchodus campus n. sp. and Epanerchodus bishou n. sp..

Here we describe two new species of deep-sea sponges collected during the exploration of Cold-Water Coral (CWC) banks discovered in the Nora and Coda Cavallo canyons (north-eastern and south coast of Sardinia respectively). Poecillastra tavianii n. sp. differs from the other congeneric species mainly for the dicho- and mesodichotriaenes, never observed in the genus, and the abundance and variety of spirasters. Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) quadridentata n. sp. is characterized by the presence of two types of chelae. In particular, the unguiferate chelae (round shaft and four teeth at both extremities) represent a peculiar character of the species. Our contribution increases the number of sponge fauna associated to the best known Central Mediterranean CWC habitats to 98 improving the still scant knowledge on the biodiversity of the Mediterranean CWC habitats.

The composition of the essential oil steam distilled with cohobation from the aerial parts of two new undescribed species of Phelabium, P. stellatum I. Telford & J.J. Bruhl ined. and P. sylvaticum I. Telford & J.J. Bruhl ined., has been analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Both species were found to have a similar chemical composition. The essential oil of P. stellatum was characterized by high amounts of elemol (24.6-30.8%), β-phellandrene (5.2-10.8%), β-eudesmol (6.1-10.0%), hedycaryol (4.5-9.8%), and δ-3-carene (4.4-13.7%). The main compounds of the samples of P. sylvaticum were identified as myrcene (10.6-23.0%), elemol (11.3-14.6%), β-phellandrene (0.5-14.8%), δ-3-carene (8.0-11.5%), β-eudesmol (6.7-9.1%), hedycaryol (7.4-9.7%) and α-pinene (7.1-8.9%). This is the first report of the volatile components of these two new species.

Through discovery of their males, females described as Homalopoltys Simon (Araneidae) are found to be congeneric with Dolichognatha O.P.-Cambridge (Tetragnathidae). Some of the character states seen in Homalopoltys (type species H. incanescens Simon) do not fit within the current diagnosis of Dolichognatha so the potential transfer is tested using the data matrix of Hormiga et al. (1995). It is found that the synonymy of Homalopoltys with Dolichognatha is justified according to current terms of reference. Both described Homalopoltys species were known only from Sri Lanka. The male of D. incanescens (Simon) (NEW COMBINATION) is described for the first time, and the range of this species is extended to north-eastern Australia. Dolichognatha albida (Simon) (NEW COMBINATION) is redescribed and new material is reported from Thailand but the species is still known only from females. Dolichognatha mandibularis (Thorell), with similar morphology to D. incanescens, is also redescribed but is only known from a single male (Sumatra). Two new species are described: D. deelemanae sp. nov. is from Kalimantan and D. raveni sp. nov. is from north-eastern Australia and New Guinea. The character states that unite the genus Dolichognatha are discussed and some potential new character systems are put forward. Some of the fresh specimens of D. albida and D. incanescens show that reflective tapeta are present in the secondary eyes and the abdominal morphology of these and the newly described species differs from that of other known Dolichognatha species.

AbstractNinety-seven cliff swallows, Petrocheilidon pyrrhonota, were examined from North-eastern Colorado. Five species of nematodes (Hadjelia pyrrhonotae sp. n., Acuaria sp., Microtetrameres inermis, Splendidofilaria sp., Diplotriaena sp.); four species of trematodes (Concinnum minor sp. n., Brachylecithum marinholutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotremagratiosus); and two species of acanthocephala.(Mediorhynchusgrandis, Mediorhynchus papillosus (juveniles)) were recovered. All eleven species of helminths represent new host records. Six new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotrema gratiosus) were established for Colorado. Five new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi were established for North America.
