A New Species

Three species of the family Macrobiotidae (Tardigrada) were extracted from mosses collected in New Zealand. One of them, Macrobiotus kovalevi, is new for science. It is similar to the species from the harmsworthi and furciger-orcadensis groups of the genus Macrobiotus. The new species differs from all known species of these groups by the structure of the buccal armature (very short medio-dorsal ridge and the absence of typically developed teeth) and the unique structure of the egg chorion. In the same sample Macrobiotus cf. coronatus De Barros and Calcarobiotus (Discrepun- guis) sp. were found.

A New Species

A new species of Mandarin dogfish, Cirrhigaleus australis n. sp., is described based on specimens from southeastern Australia. Australian populations were previously considered to be conspecific with Cirrhigaleus barbifer from the western North Pacific and Indonesia, but recent investigations revealed that the two forms differ in morphology and in the structure of the CO1 gene. Cirrhigaleus australis has a smaller eye, shorter dorsal-caudal space, and smaller pectoral fins and dorsal fins and spines. These species are clearly separable from the only other congener, C. asper, and all other members of the family Squalidae, by the possession of a greatly produced barbel on their anterior nasal flap. The new species occurs in temperate waters of eastern Australia, and possibly New Zealand.

A New Species

A new species of Zelandothyas, Z. balloti, is described from South Island, New Zealand. The deutonymph and larva of Zelandothyas diamphida Cook, 1983 are described for the first time. The deutonymph of Malgasacarus rarus Tuzovskij et al., 2008 is redescribed. The family Malgasacaridae Tuzovskij, Gerecke and Goldschmidt, 2008 is synonymized with Zelandothyadidae Cook, 1983 and Malgasacarus Tuzovskij et al., 2008 is transferred to the subfamily Zelandothyadinae. Thus redefined, the family Zelandothyadidae shows an interesting disjunction in the southern hemisphere. Here, it is considered a family incertae sedis, provisionally comprising the monophyletic Zelandothyadinae and the enigmatic Australiothyadinae Cook, 1986. Zelandothyadidae are unusual in combining character states previously considered diagnostic for either Eylaoidea or Hydryphantoidea.

A New Species

A new endemic species of triplefin Ruanoho scurra is described from deep water (108–216 m) on the shelf region around coastal New Zealand (Northland to Stewart Island). It is differentiated from its congeners by the combination of fresh colour (bright yellow spots on the head and anterior body, oblique lines on the dorsal and anal fins, and sub-vertical lines on the caudal) as well as some proportional measurements. Comments are made on the relationship with its congeners, and evolutionary history of the family in New Zealand waters, along with observations on the habitat in which this new species is found. This paper formally describes the species first mentioned in Stewart & Clements 2015:1523 as the polkadot triplefin.

New genus and species (Cordela rubra gen. et sp. nov.) are described from Costa Rica. They represent a new tribe of the subfamily Thioniinae (Cordelini trib. nov.) which is based on the unique structure of the hind wing having weak clefts on the terminal margin, the cubitus anterior and cubitus posterior not fused with each other, and the second anal vein simple.

A New Species

A new species of the late Mesozoic–Cenozoic family Ringiculidae (Ringicula (Ringicula) cockburnensis n. sp.) is described from basal glauconitic beds of late Eocene age of Cockburn Island, Antarctica, and is the first reported occurrence of the family Ringiculidae from the continent of Antarctica. Ringicula (R.) cockburnensis n. sp. most closely resembles R. castigata from the middle Oligocene Duntroonian Stage of New Zealand and provides further support for the strong provinciality (Weddellian Province) that existed along the southern margin of the Pacific during the Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary.

The genus Rapisma McLachlan, 1866 (montane lacewings) is a rare and little known group of the family Ithonidae (Insecta: Neuroptera). There have been 21 described species of Rapisma, and all of them are distributed from East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Here I report a new species of Rapisma from northwestern Yunnan, China, namely Rapisma weixiense sp. nov. The new species belongs to a group of Rapisma species with very short antennae.
