Yaoshania, new genus, is described with Protomyzon pachychilus as type species. Yaoshania is distinguished from othergenera of Balitoridae by its larger gill opening, a lip lamina at angle of mouth, and the rostral fold with four notches toaccommodate rostral barbels. A lectotype is designated for Y. pachychilus. Erromyzon kalotaenia, new species, is de-scribed from Guangxi, China. It is distinguished from other species of Erromyzon by the very reduced median lobe of therostral fold; the lower lip distinctly covered with melanophores; and the color pattern on the flank. A key to the species of Erromyzon is provided.

We describe a new genus, Dishkeya Stonis, gen. nov., and a new species, Dishkeya gothica Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov., discovered feeding on Gouania lupuloides (L.) Urb., Rhamnaceae. We discuss the diagnostics of Tischeria Zeller and Dishkeya gen. nov.; the latter is characterized by the absence of a juxta, the presence of a pseudognathos, and well-developed carinae of the phallus in the male genitalia. We newly combine Tischeria bifurcata Braun and Tischeria gouaniae Stonis & Diškus with Dishkeya and designate the latter species as the type species of the new genus. All species treated in the paper are illustrated with drawings or photographs of the male genitalia.

A New Species

The new genus Callivelia is proposed to hold three Neotropical species previously held within Paravelia: type-species Callivelia conata (Hungerford), Callivelia taipiensis (Cheesman) and Callivelia bipunctata (Rodrigues, Moreira, Nieser, Chen & Melo). Paravelia virtutis (Drake & Harris) 1935 is synonymized under Callivelia taipiensis (Cheesman) 1926. In addition, a new species, C. anomala, is described from the Amazon Basin of Brazil. Additional distributional records are provided for the three previously described species treated, including the first country record for C. bipunctata in Paraguay. A key to the species of Callivelia is provided, accompanied by color habitus photographs for all three species, and additional photographs of key generic characters.

Leafhoppers of the Eupteryx-complex differ from other members of the tribe Typhlocybini in having the posterior branch of hind wing vein R separate from the anterior branch of M (Young 1952). The complex now includes 9 known genera of which 5 genera, Aguriahana Distant 1918, Eurhadina Haupt 1929, Eupteryx Curtis 1833, Caknesia Dworakowska 1994, Almunisna Dworakowska 1969 and Bellpenna Chiang et al 1989, have been reported from China. Here we propose a new genus Comahadina Huang and Zhang which shares the hind wing character with other genera in the complex, based on a new species, Comahadina angelica Huang and Zhang, here designated as the type-species. The new genus and species are described and illustrated and a key to all genera of the Eupteryx-complex is provided.

A New Species

Karagandoceratids are a rare offshoot of the Prionoceratinae, resembling that subfamily in general conch form and sutural ontogeny, but differing by possession of an acute ventral margin and an increasingly trifid ventral lobe. The systematic position of the Karagandoceratidae has been controversial [see Bartzsch and Weyer (1988) for an exhaustive review]. The nominate genus, Karagandoceras Librovitch, 1940 (type species, K. galeatum), possesses a weakly divided ventral lobe which has led authors to refer it to both the Praeglyphioceratina (Ruzhencev, 1960, 1962; Bogoslovsky, 1971; Ruzhencev and Bogoslovskaya, 1978; Bogoslovskaya et al., 1999; Kusina, 2000) and the Goniatitina (Weyer, 1965, 1972; Kullmann, 1981). Discovery of an ancestral karagandoceratid genus, gen. nov. I aff. Karagandoceras Bartzsch and Weyer, 1988, in the early Tournaisian Siphonodella sandbergi conodont Zone in Germany provided clarification on the proximate origin of Karagandoceras and provided a plausible link to the early Tournaisian prionoceratin genus Nicimitoceras Korn, 1993 (type species, Imitoceras subacre Vöhringer, 1960). Bartzsch and Weyer (1988) proposed a karagandoceratid phylogeny beginning with gen. nov. I aff. Karagandoceras in the early Tournaisian, progressing through Karagandoceras in the middle Tournaisian, and culminating with a third, descendent genus, gen. nov. II aff. Karagandoceras (typical species, Karagandoceras bradfordi Manger, 1971), early in the late Tournaisian. Bartzsch and Weyer (1988) elected to leave both the initial and final members of this lineage, gen. nov. I and gen. nov. II aff. Karagandoceras, in open nomenclature pending discovery of more completely preserved material. Discovery of superbly preserved representatives of a new species of gen. nov. II aff. Karagandoceras from the Borden Formation in northeastern Kentucky provides additional sutural and morphological details that support Bartzsch and Weyer's phylogenetic interpretation and makes formal description of this terminal karagandoceratid taxon (herein designated Masonoceras new genus) possible.

The Australian Gomphidae belong in the subfamilies Ictinogomphinae and Gomphinae. The three ictinogomphine species are placed in the widespread genus Ictinogomphus Cowley: I. australis (Selys), I. dobsoni (Watson), and a new species, I. paulini. The gomphine genera are endemic, and fall into two groups, the Hemigomphus and Austrogomphus groups. The first contains Hemigomphus Selys [H. comitatus (Tillyard), H. gouldii (Selys), H. heteroclytus Selys (type species), plus four new species, H. atratus, H. cooloola, H. magela, H. theischingeri], Armagomphus Carle [type- and only species A. armiger (Tillyard)] and the new genus Odontogomphus, comprising two new species, O. donnellyi (type species) and O. longipositor. The second includes Antipodogomphus Fraser [A. acolythus (Martin), A. hodgkini Watson, A. neophytus Fraser, A. proselythus (Martin) (type species) plus two new species: A. dentosus, A. edentulus], and Austrogomphus Selys, divided into five subgenera, Austrogomphus Selys [A. angeli Tillyard, A. arbustorum Tillyard, A. australis Dale in Selys, A. collaris Hagen in Selys, A. cornutus, sp. nov., A. doddi Tillyard, A. guerini (Rambur) (type species), A. mjobergi Sjöstedt, A. ochraceus (Selys) and A. pusillus Sjöstedt], Austroepigomphus Fraser, stat. nov. [A. melaleucae Tillyard, A. praeruptus (Selys) (type species)], plus three new subgenera, Pleiogomphus [A. amphiclitus (Selys) (type species), A. bifurcatus Tillyard, A. prasinus Tillyard, plus a new species, A. divaricatus], Xerogomphus [A. gordoni Watson, A. turneri Martin (type species)], and Zephyrogomphus [type- and only species A. lateralis (Selys)]. Lectotypes are designated for Hemigomphus heteroclytus Selys and Antipodogomphus neophytus Fraser, and neotypes for Austrogomphus gouldii Selys and Austrogomphus collaris Hagen in Selys. Data are provided on the larvae of endemic genera, and on the distributions and habitats of species, all of which are keyed.

The choniostomatids parasitic on Crustacea have been exhaustively studied by Hansen. To the six genera and forty-three species he had described in 1897, he added a new genus and three more species in 1904, and seven more species in 1923. Scott (1904, 1905, 1907) described seven more species, Fraenkel (1915) three new species, Monod (1930) one, and Blake (1929) two. In 1929, however, Connolly described a new genus Choniosphaera and its type species C. cancrorum, from parasites found on American crabs Cancer amoenas, C. irroratus and C. borealis. In the present paper a new species Choniosphaera indica, parasitic on the edible crab Neptunus sanguinolentus of Madras, is described.

Paraphyletic Assemblage

Species previously attributed to Necrotauliidae are revised from the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic of England based on examination of type specimens and non-type material. The necrotauliids have been considered as a basal family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) or as a paraphyletic assemblage of stem-amphiesmenopterans. Herein a new genus, Austaulius, is erected which includes all Lilstock Formation∖Lower Lias material from England; the previously described species are synonymized with A. furcatus and a new species, A. haustrum, is described from the Dorset Coast, the holotype of which preserves synapomorphic traits of the Trichoptera not previously described suggesting that the family is trichopteran. The type genus remains Necrotaulius and type species N. parvulus (Geinitz, 1884) from the type locality of Dobbertin, Germany. One species of Necrotaulius is represented in the UK, N. parvulus, which is found in the Upper Lias.

A new species of the genus Phaenocarpa Foerster, 1863, with an aberrant ovipositor, P. platychora sp. nov., from SE China is included as type species in a new subgenus, Clistalysia nov. A key to the subgenera of Phaenocarpa Foerster is included; Idiolexis Foerster, 1863, and Kahlia Ashmead, 1900, are recognised as valid subgenera.
