A New Species

In this study, we describe a new species of the genus Poecilocloeus from Renascença municipality, Paraná State, Brazil. Poecilocloeus renascensis n. sp. inhabits the Atlantic Semideciduous Forest edges of Renascença and adjacent areas, and our study is the first record of this genus from southern Brazil. The species belongs to the group bullatus (Rehn, 1908), and the descriptions are based on morphological characters, mainly from male genitalia. Morphological descriptions are provided together with illustrations emphasizing the most significant diagnostic features of external morphology and male genitalia. Information is given about type specimens, examined material and geographic distribution.

The mirine plant bug genus Neolygus Knight is reported from Nepal and North India for the first time, thus representing the first confident distributional record of this genus from the Himalayas. A new species, Neolygus machanensis, is described from Nepal. Two known members, N. bui Lu & Zheng and N. keltoni (Lu & Zheng), newly recognized as occurring in Nepal and/or North India, are diagnosed. Habitus images of live individuals and illustrations of the male genitalia are provided for all treated species. A checklist of the Old World species, and discussion of the systematic position and zoogeography of Neolygus are included. Neolygus partitus (Walker, 1873) [Capsus], N. mjohjangsanicus (Josifov, 1992) [Lygocoris], and Neolygus zebei (Günther, 1997) [Lygocoris] are proposed as new combinations.

Rybocyclops Dussart, 1982 is a little-known stygobitic genus, hitherto represented by its type and only species, R. pauliani (Lindberg, 1954), from Madagascar. A second species, named Rybocyclops dussarti sp. nov., is described herein from an agricultural bore-well in southeastern India. The new species has a unique combination of morphological characters, which, inter alia, include: genital double-somite enlarged; anal operculum moderately large; furcal rami somewhat outcurved and about twice as long as wide; female antennules 11-segmented; legs 1–4 with spine formula 2.2.2.2, and setal formula 5.5.5.4; legs 1 and 4 without seta on inner margin of coxa and basis; leg 4 male with one seta more than in female on second endopodal segment; leg 5 fused to somite and represented by vague protuberance, bearing three setae; and leg 6 reduced to two setae. The generic diagnosis is partially amended for accommodating the new species. The discovery of R. dussarti sp. nov. is of much biogeographic interest because it is the first record of Rybocyclops from Asia and only the second freshwater stygobitic cyclopoid taxon from India, with apparent Gondwanan distribution.

A new species of Marphysa Quatrefages, 1865 (Polychaeta: Eunicida: Eunicidae) from northern Australia and a review of similar taxa from the Indo-west Pacific, including the genus Nauphanta Kinberg, 1865

A New Species

A taxonomic survey of Marphysa species (Polychaeta: Eunicida: Eunicidae) from coastal regions of northern Australia including recently collected specimens from a fish farm near Darwin, yielded three species: M. mullawa Hutchings & Karageorgopolous, 2003, a first record from northern Australia; M. mossambica (Peters, 1854; was Nauphanta mossambica), first confirmed record from Australia; and a new species, M. fauchaldi. The new species was recorded from intertidal muddy shores as well as in the sediments of fish farm ponds, where it was extremely abundant. It is characterised by a unique combination of chaetal features. A newly proposed informal subgroup of Marphysa, the Teretiuscula-group, is erected to contain the new species and other Marphysa species that share the possession of compound spinigerous chaetae in anterior parapodia only and the peculiar behaviour of encapsulating embryos in jelly cocoons. Morphologically, the new species falls between a group of Marphysa species having only compound spinigers and the recently resurrected genus Nauphanta, which completely lacks compound chaetae. The discovery of this new species necessitated a re-evaluation of the morphological features of Nauphanta and Marphysa species lacking falcigers, in particular homology of fan chaetae, the only apparent synapomorphy of Nauphanta. Fan chaetae appear to be a specialised type of pectinate chaetae, which are found also in species of Marphysa including the new species. Based on this finding, and an evaluation of other characters, Nauphanta is returned to synonymy with Marphysa. Further, an analysis of size-related variation of key morphological characters in M. mossambica and comparison with those in the types of M. novaehollandiae (Kinberg, 1865; formerly Nauphanta) and M. simplex Treadwell, 1922, indicated that both species should be synonymised with M. mossambica. A key is provided to identify Marphysa species of the Indo-west Pacific.

Herina caribbeana Kameneva, sp. n. from Dominica is described and figured. It is related to the narytia group of species, to date represented by 4 North American species, but differs from these by the wing pattern (dark spots at apex of R1 and on the crossbands r-m and dm-cu separated, not forming crossband), as well as male genitalia (prensisetae long and close together). This is the first record of the genus Herina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 from the Neotropical Region. A key to the New World species is provided.

The genus Urumaelmis Satô, 1963 is recorded for the first time from China. A new species, Urumaelmis yunnanensis sp. nov. is described from Yunnan, China. The new species can be distinguished from U. uenoi uenoi (Nomura, 1961) and U. u. tokarana (Satô, 1963) by its larger body size, and by the carina on elytral interval VI which extends nearly from base to apex; and from U. flammea Nakajima & Kamite, 2020 also by its black body color, the median groove of pronotum not reaching the base, pointed anterior pronotal angles, and by the absence of parameres. The habitus, and aedeagus photos, and line drawings of the male genitalia are provided.
