The genus Camelobaetidius Demoulin, 1966 has 37 species distributed throughout the Nearctic and Neotropical Regions, being one of the most studied genera of the family Baetidae. The nymphs are common in lotic habitats, can often be found on top of rocks, and can be easily recognized by the presence of the spatulate tarsal claws. Based on material from Southeastern Brazil, the aim of the present paper is to describe two new species with the terminal filament as long as the cerci (C. juparana sp. nov. and C. spinosus sp. nov.), to describe the female of C. anubis (Traver & Edmunds, 1968), to describe new characters for the male of this species, and to present new records for the genus in southeastern Brazil.

This paper presents the ascidians from the Family Polyclinidae collected in the Gulf of Mexico during the Hourglass Cruises between August 1965 and November 1967. The analysis of the collected material revealed the presence of eight polyclinid ascidians from three different genera, with two new species and two new records for the Gulf of Mexico.

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).

Of the 69 Neotropical species of Stylogaster, only one record was previously known from Northeastern Brazil (from Bahia state in 1985—S. brasilia Camras & Parrillo). Several specimens from this region housed at the MNRJ collection were studied, mostly from Bahia, Ceará and Pernambuco states. Two new records were obtained: S. macrura Lopes, 1938, previously known from São Paulo state (Southeastern Brazil), and S. souzai Monteiro, 1960, from Amapá and Pará (Northern Brazil). Descriptions of two new species, S. hugoi sp. nov. and  S. planitarsis sp. nov. are presented, as well as that of the previously unknown female of S. souzai. Illustrations and geographic distribution of the species are also provided.

We describe seven species of Pilargidae from the coast and deep sea (300–1400 m deep) of southeastern Brazil, belonging to the genera Ancistrosyllis McIntosh, 1878, Cabira Webster, 1879, Glyphohesione Friedrich, 1950, Hermundura Müller, 1858, and Pilargis Saint-Joseph, 1899. Of those, two are new species (Glyphohesione campensis sp. nov. and Pilargis falconae sp. nov.) and two are new records of Ancistrosyllis for Brazil. Glyphohesione campensis sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by fewer neurochaetae, the anteriormost appearance of first notopodial spines, and intermediate relative length of dorsal and ventral cirri. Pilargis falconae sp. nov. is diagnosed by the presence of parapodial glands from the first chaetiger on the dorsal surface and from the sixth chaetiger on the ventral surface; and neurochaetae smooth capillaries and limbates with unidentate tips. Keys to pilargid species reported from, or likely to occur in, Brazilian waters are provided.

This paper describes a collection of Cumaceans from intertidal macroalgae on the shores of the Andaman Islands containing two new species viz. Bodotria andamanensis sp. nov. of the family Bodotriidae, Gynodiastylis bacescui sp. nov. of the family Gynodiastylidae and five species of the family Nannastacidae of which three species viz. Cumella forficuloides Băcescu & Muradian, 1975, Nannastacus goniatus Gamô, 1962 and Scherocumella nichollsi Hale, 1945 are recorded for the first time from India. Bodotria andamanensis sp. nov. is characterized by having two large visual elements, the first segment of the pereon hardly visible dorsally, maxilliped 3 with robust articles, a short uropod, rami with two articles; Gynodiastylis bacescui sp. nov. is characterized by an elongated carapace, a rounded and large telson, reaching half of the length of the uropodal peduncle, the basis of maxilliped 3 with a short outer plumose seta, and a uropodal endopod with three articles.

Terebellomorph polychaetes are reported from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps collected in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Two new species of Terebellidae,Neoamphitrite hydrothermalissp. nov. andStreblosoma kaiasp. nov., are described from hydrothermal vents of the western Pacific. These are the first terebellid species described from hydrothermal vents. New records from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps and new geographical records are presented for nine additional species belonging to Ampharetidae, Alvinellidae, Terebellidae and Trichobranchidae. A synoptic table with diagnostic characters for all species of the genusStreblosomaSars, 1872 is provided. Keys for all terebellomorph species currently known from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, respectively, are included. Additionally the new combinationNeoamphitrite pachyderma(Hutchings & Glasby, 1988) comb. nov. is proposed.

The study of specimens, collected by David Agassiz in several African countries and in Madagascar, together with some specimens collected by Wolfram Mey, enabled not only the confirmation of some country records, but also the description of two new species (Epermenia (Calotripis) larseni and E. (C.) albofasciata), the description of the hitherto unknown female genitalia of Epermenia minuta Gaedike, 2004 and Ochromolopis namibica Gaedike, 2004 and the male genitalia of Ochromolopis xeropa (Meyrick, 1909). Two first records (Africepermenia tanzanica Gaedike, 2004 and Phaulernis montuosa Gaedike, 2013) for Zimbabwe and one for Kenya (Epermenia triacuta Gaedike, 2013) were made. A distribution list showing hitherto known occurrence of the family in the Afrotropics is presented. Nomenclatural acts Epermenia (Calotripis) larseni spec. nov. – urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:FD37A601-032A-472B-9599-9E6DBCE52738Epermenia (Calotripis) albofasciata spec. nov. – urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:EB6346C8-5761-4BFE-96F1-1FFD4B0A8FF0

AbstractTwo new species are described: .Megalospora occidentalis Kantvilas from Western Australia, with solitary muriform ascospores; M. pulverata Kantvilas from Tasmania, with typically two-spored asci and bicellular ascospores. The new combination M. melanodermia var. galactocarpa (Zahlbr.) Kantvilas is proposed. Megalospora taylori Dodge, described from Tasmania, is a synonym of M. gompholoma subsp. fuscolineata Sipman. New records are reported for Megaloblastenia flavidoatra(Nyl.) Sipman (from Tasmania), .Megalospora disjuncta Sipman (from New South Wales and Queensland), and M. subtuberculosa (Knight) Sipman (from New South Wales). Additional data for Austroblastenia pupa Sipman, M. gompholomasubsp. fuscolineata Sipman and M. lopadioides Sipman, and a key for the family in Australia are presented. M. disjuncta Sipman is lectotypified. Biogeographical and ecological patterns are discussed briefly.

Abstract Material from Romania, collected June 30 to July 5 in 2011, included 156 species of the family Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). Of these, 126 species are newly recorded from Romania. One of the new records, Neochrysocharis marginalis Hansson, is also a new record for Europe, previously known only from North America. This material included specimens of two undescribed species which are described here as Diaulinopsis albimaxilla sp. n. and Neochrysocharis pallidicornis sp. n.

Two new species of Euzonus from the Brazilian coast are described and figured. Both differ from other species of the genus with bifid branchiae in having a dorsoventrally oriented patch or band of papillae dorsal to the notopodia of chaetiger 10. Euzonus papillatus sp. n., from beaches of north and northeastern Brazil, has 20 pairs of branchiae, an oval patch with 3 rows of papillae, and posterior noto-/neuropodia with 5 6 modified spines of a type not previously reported for the family, possibly because the modifications are very delicate and may have been overlooked. Euzonus mammillatus sp. n., from southeastern Brazil, has 18 pairs of branchiae, a band with 2 rows of papillae and no modified spines. Based on information from J. M. Orensanz, the 1974 report of E. furciferus in southeastern Brazil is questioned. The original material could not be located and this record plus a more recent one need to be reconfirmed. Described species of Euzonus and the similar Lobochesis Hutchings & Murray, 1984 are briefly reviewed and the status of the two genera is discussed. We find that the supposed differences are not present and suggest that Lobochesis be considered a junior synonym of Euzonus.
