Eleven Afrotropical species of Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, ten in the Bengalia peuhi species-group and one reassignedto the Bengalia spinifemorata species-group, are revised. The male genitalia of all, and the ovipositor of six species, areillustrated by means of digital colour photography. A key to males is provided. Two species, i.e., Bengalia minor Malloch,1927 and Bengalia peuhi Villeneuve, 1914, are assigned to the Bengalia peuhi subgroup of the Bengalia peuhi species-group. Five species, i.e., Bengalia depressa Walker, 1858, Bengalia floccosa Wulp, 1885, Bengalia gaillardi Surcouf &Guyon, 1912, Bengalia roubaudi Rickenbach, Hamon & Mouchet, 1960 and Bengalia tibiaria Villeneuve, 1926 areassigned to the Bengalia floccosa subgroup of the Bengalia peuhi species-group. Three species, i.e., Bengalia africanoidessp. nov., Bengalia aliena Malloch, 1927 and Bengalia wyatti (Lehrer, 2005) comb. nov., have been left as species incertaesedis in the Bengalia peuhi species-group. The eleventh species, Bengalia bantuphalla (Lehrer, 2005) comb. nov., is re-assigned to the Bengalia spinifemorata species-group. Bengalia africanoides sp. nov. has only 3 post dc setae, a featureunique for a species of Bengalia. A neotype is designated for Calliphora floccosa Wulp, 1885 (now in Bengalia), to fixthe interpretation of the name in accordance with current usage. Lectotypes are designated for Bengalia bekilyana Séguy,1935, Bengalia depressa, Bengalia gaillardi, Bengalia peuhi and Bengalia unicalcarata Villeneuve, 1913 to fix theinterpretation of the names. Bengalia africana Malloch, 1927 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia depressa,syn. nov. Bengalia cuthbertsoni Zumpt, 1956 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia tibiaria, syn. nov.Shakaniella sakinehae Lehrer, 2011 is established as a junior synonym of Shakaniella wyatti (now in Bengalia), syn. nov.Tsunamia yourubana Lehrer, 2005 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia aliena, syn. nov. Ochromyia petersianaLoew, 1852 is removed from its current position as a doubtful senior synonym of Bengalia depressa and transferred to thegenus Thoracites Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1891 as Thoracites petersiana, comb. nov. in the Rhiniidae. This name is proposed as a senior synonym of Thoracites neglectus Zumpt, 1972, syn. nov.

(China). A lectotype is designated for Bengalia latro to fix the interpretation of the name. Bengalia bezzii Senior-White, 1923 is established as a junior synonym of Musca varicolor Fabricius, 1805, syn. nov. Bengalia chromatella Séguy, 1946 and Bengalia pallidicoxa Séguy, 1946 are treated as junior synonyms of Musca varicolor Fabricius, 1805, syn. nov. Afridigalia bezziella Lehrer, 2005 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia emarginata Malloch, 1927, syn. nov. Afridigalia pinatuba Lehrer, 2005 and Ashokiana ramsdalei Lehrer, 2005 are established as junior synonyms of Bengalia inermis Malloch, 1927, syn. nov. Ashokiana ramsdalei and Afridigalia laguna Lehrer, 2005 are both based on a holotype with a partly destroyed aedeagus. Afridigalia tenggeria Lehrer, 2006 is established as a junior synonym of Bengalia latro de Meijere, 1910, syn. nov. Afridigalia thaisia Lehrer, 2008 is established as a junior synonym of Afridigalia taksina Lehrer, 2005, syn. nov.

The Afrotropical Bengalia spinifemorata species-group is revised and their male genitalia illustrated by means of digital colour photography. Six species are recognized and keyed, and their geographical distribution reconsidered, i.e., Bengalia akamanga (Lehrer, 2005), comb. nov. (Malawi); B. racovitzai (Lehrer, 2005) (Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya); B. seniorwhitei (Lehrer, 2005) (Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda); B. smarti (Lehrer, 2005), comb. nov. (Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe); B. spinifemorata Villeneuve, 1913 (Democratic Republic of Congo) and B. wangariae (Lehrer, 2005), comb. nov. (Democratic Republic of Congo). Maraviola congoliana Lehrer, 2005, M. samburella Lehrer, 2005, M. amlaka Lehrer & Freidberg, 2008, M. danakiliana Lehrer & Freidberg, 2008, and M. akufulana Lehrer, 2011 are recognized as synonyms of Bengalia seniorwhitei, syn. nov. The genus group names Sindhigalia Lehrer, 2006 and Anshuniana Lehrer & Wei, 2010 are reduced to synonyms of Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, syn. nov. The distiphallus is described in detail and new morphological terms introduced. Ten synapomorphies defining the B. spinifemorata species-group are listed. A re-assignment of the Oriental species B. fani Feng & Wei, 1998 to the Afrotropical B. spinifemorata species-group to replace its current position in the B. peuhi species-group is rejected since B. fani shares none of the ten synapomorphies of the former group.

Agnostus acadicus Hartt (in Dawson, 1868) was the first agnostoid trilobite to be described from Middle Cambrian strata in North America. It was later designated the type species of Acadagnostus Kobayashi, 1939. The original description of A. acadicus was based on two specimens, a cephalon and a pygidium, which are illustrated for the first time with photographs. These are interpreted to represent separate species, each belonging to a different genus. The holotype cephalon is reassigned as Peronopsis acadica, which is judged to be a subjective senior synonym of Agnostus fallax Linnarsson, 1869, and several other species-group taxa. Consequently, Acadagnostus is suppressed as a subjective junior synonym of Peronopsis. Agnostus fallax is the type species of Axagnostus Laurie, 1990, which also is suppressed as a subjective junior synonym of Peronopsis. The pygidium on which the original description of A. acadicus was based is reassigned to Hypagnostus parvifrons (Linnarsson, 1869).Peronopsis acadica, as emended, is a common, cosmopolitan agnostoid in open-marine lithofacies. It has an observed stratigraphic range from the Ptychagnostus praecurrens Interval-zone to the Ptychagnostus punctuosus Interval-zone.

The pyri species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is proposed to accommodate species characterized primarily by the presence of setae S2 and S4 and the absence of S5 of the S-series on the opisthoscutum. There are at present 18 species in this group: T. leptodactylus Wainstein, T. magdalenae Pritchard and Baker, T. corticis Herbert, T. andrei Karg, T. griekwensis Schultz, T. atticus Swirski and Ragusa, T. baccettii Lombardini, T. pyri Scheuten, T. tubifer Wainstein, T. klimenkoi Kolodochka, T. tiliae Oudemans, T. setubali Dosse, T. cotoneastri Wainstein, T. athiasae Porath and Swirski, T. laurae Arutunjan, T. exhilaratus Ragusa, T. phialatus Athias-Henriot, and T. ernesti Ragusa and Swirski. Four subspecies also are proposed: Typhlodromus athiasae athiasae Porath and Swirski stat. nov., Typhlodromus athiasae perbibus Wainstein and Arutunjan stat. nov., Typhlodromus exhilaratus exhilaratus Ragusa stat. nov., and Typhlodromus exhilaratus americanus subsp. nov. Typhlodromus pritchardi Arutunjan and T. vepallidus (Koch) are designated as species inquirendae because of insufficient information on their identities. The identity and status of T. pyri, the type species of the genus Typhlodromus, is reviewed. The following new synonymies are proposed: T. rodovae Wainstein and Arutunjan as a junior synonym of T. corticis; T. helenae Schicha and Dosse and T. oligadenus Athias-Henriot as junior synonyms of T. baccettii; T. ajsel Abbasova as a junior synonym of T. tubifer; T. siwa El Badry, T. hellenicus Swirski and Ragusa, and T. perbibus Wainstein and Arutunjan as junior synonyms of T. athiasae; and T. laurentii Ragusa and Swirski as a junior synonym of T. setubali. The group is defined and a key to and descriptions of the adult females of the species and subspecies are provided.

The name Cuvierina spoeli Rampal, 2002 cannot be understood as a new replacement name (nom. nov.) for Cuvierina atlantica, as published in the unavailable name Cuvierina columnella (Rang, 1827) f. atlantica van der Spoel, 1970. The name atlantica was made available as a name of the species group in the combination Cuvierina columnella atlantica Bé, MacClintock & Currie, 1972, currently interpreted to represent the species Cuvierina atlantica. Cuvierina spoeli type material does not belong to C. atlantica, but to C. columnella of which it therefore is a junior subjective synonym.        The name Cuvieria oryza Benson, 1835 was recognised to represent a senior synonym of Cuvierina urceolaris (Mörch, 1850), not a junior synonym or form of C. columnella Rang, 1827, as it was frequently interpreted by authors. The name C. oryza is here declared nomen oblitum and the name C. urceolaris, because in prevailing usage, is declared nomen protectum. The conditions of ICZN (1999, art. 23.9.1.1 and .2) are met.

It is composed of 17 species: T. sentus Pritchard and Baker, T. neosentus van der Merwe, T. acanthus van der Merwe, T. sennarensis El Badry, T. parva (Matthysse and Denmark) comb, nov., T. kuzini (Wainstein), T. relenta (Matthysse and Denmark) comb, nov., T. ecclesiasticus De Leon, T. scytinus Chazeau, T. prunusus van der Merwe, T. yokogawae Ehara and Hamaoka, T. operantis (Chaudhri) comb, nov.,T. loricatus (Wainstein) comb, nov., T. bregetovae (Wainstein and Beglyarov) comb, nov., T. neosoleiger Gupta, T. ignavus (Chaudhri) comb, nov., and T. niloticus El Badry. Typhlodromus vitreus (Chaudhri) comb. nov. is designated as a junior synonym of T. bregetovae. Two species, T. ignavus and T. niloticus, are designated as "species inquirendae" because of insufficient information on their characteristics. Various generic concepts relating to the species in this group are reviewed. The group is described and a key to adult females and descriptions of each species are provided.

AbstractTwo species of the genus Chiloplectus are described from Ukraine. Detailed studies by light and scanning electron microscopy were made to differentiate between C. andrassyi, a new senior synonym of Plectus telekii, and C. loricatus. Some previously unknown characters like the shape of the excretory gland duct, the number and position of somatic setae, and the epiptygmata are introduced for this differentiation. C. loricatus is found to be a junior synonym of Plectus cancellatus, which is transferred to Chiloplectus. An emended diagnosis and a revised classification of Chiloplectus are proposed, and a key to the species of the genus is provided. Plectus globilabiatus Kirjanova, 1958 and P.annulatus Maggenti, 1961 are regarded as species inquirendae. Description de deux espèces de Chiloplectus Andrássy, 1984 (Nematoda: Plectidae) d'Ukraine et une classification nouvelle pour le genre - Deux espèces du genre Chiloplectus sont décrites d'Ukraine. Des études détaillées en microscopie optique et électronique à balayage ont été conduites pour différencier C. andrassyi, un nouveau synonyme majeur de Plectus telekii, et C.loricatus. Quelques caractères jusqu'à présent inconnus comme la forme du canal de la glande excrétrice, le nombre et la position des soies céphaliques et les epiptygmes ont été utilisés pour cette différentiation. C. loricatus est considéré comme un synonyme mineur de Plectus cancellatus, lequel est transféré au genre Chiloplectus. Sont proposées une diagnose amendée et une classification révisée du genre Chiloplectus; une clef des espèces du genre est proposée. Plectus globilabiatus Kirjanova, 1958 et P.annulatus Maggenti, 1961 sont considérés comme species inquirendae.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.
