A new species of the genus Onychiurus is described from Málaga caves (Southern Spain). Onychiurus gevi sp. nov. is characterized by the peculiar distribution of dorsal (32/033/44433) and ventral (11/000/0101) pseudocelli that allow to distinguish it from the other congeneric species. A key of the world species of Onychiurus is provided.

A new, extremely cryptic dendronotoid nudibranch from southern Spain is described. Lomanotus barlettai sp.nov. is intertidal and has been found under stones together with the thecate hydroids Kirchenpaueria pinnata and Ventromma halecioides. The body is elongate with a maximum of 36 cerata on each side. These are located on three pairs of notal ridges. Each ceras shows one or two characteristic constrictions. The veil bears two pointed processes on either side and there is a cephalic ridge. The body is brown with dense gold–brown pigmented superficial dots. The radular formula is 23 × 17.0.17 (7.5-mm specimen) and the innermost tooth of each half-row is denticulate. The other teeth exhibit more marked denticulation. Extensions of the digestive gland penetrate the cerata. The ampulla is surrounded by the hermaphroditic gland and there is only a curved seminal receptacle and a well-separated prostate. A comparison between L. barlettai and the other known species of the genus is presented. The validity of these species is discussed, together with the suggestion that five valid species can be distinguished: L. genei, L. marmoratus, L. vermiformis, L. phiops, and L. barlettai. The characteristics of these species are tabulated.

A new species of eurysquilloid stomatopod,Eurysquilla petronioisp. nov., is described from the tropical western Atlantic.Eurysquilla petronioisp. nov. is the fourteenth species of the genus to be recognized worldwide, the fifth species from the western Atlantic and the second from Brazilian waters. It is most closely related toE. maiaguesensisfrom Puerto Rico, but differs chiefly in having an unarmed versus apically spinous rostral plate and 6 or 7 rather than 8–10 teeth on dactylus of raptorial claw. A key to the species of the genus is provided.

A new species of the neotenic flat mite genus Larvacarus Baker and Pritchard, 1952 (Acariformes: Tetranychoidea: Tenuipalpidae), Larvacarus iranicus sp. nov., is described from females collected from Astragalus sp. (Fabaceae) in Iran (Kerman Province). This is the second report of this genus in the world. The relationships of Larvacarus with other flat mite genera, including the other larviform species in the genera Raoiellana Baker and Tuttle, 1972 and Phytoptipalpus Trägårdh, 1904 are discussed.

The aphelinid genus Diaspiniphagus Silvestri is considered a valid taxon, distinct from Coccophagoides Girault. Both genera are briefly diagnosed and the world species are listed. Diaspiniphagus is newly recorded from India and a new species, D. decorus sp. nov., is described. The following species are transferred to Diaspiniphagus as new combinations: D. inlacertus (Girault) from CoccophagusWestwood and D. fasciativentris (Girault), D. forbesi (Dozier), D. fuscipennis (Girault), and D. pulchellus (Dozier) from Prospaltella Ashmead.

A new sponge species Coelocarteria agglomerans sp. nov. (Isodictyidae: Mycalina: Poecilosclerida) is described from the reef slopes of Bunaken National Marine Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The new species can be separated from the other two congeneric species: C. singaporensis and C. spatulosa by several characters concerning sponge surface, fistule shape, form and size of the spicules and habitat. In detail it differs from C. singaporensis in the presence of strongyles instead of oxeas as main megascleres and of spines in the shaft of palmate isochelae. It differs from C. spatulosa in the absence of characteristic fistules with spatula shaped hoods and in spicule size, because both categories of strongyles and palmate isochelae are remarkably larger in the latter.
