A New Species

The genus Pselactus in the Cape Verde Islands is reviewed. Pselactus obesulus (Wollaston, 1867) from São Vicente is redescribed and P. strakai sp. nov. from São Nicolau is described. Both species are diagnosed and illustrated; their larvae are described, larval morphology is discussed and the current state of knowledge about immature stages of Cossoninae is summarized. The systematic position of the genus within Onycholipini is reviewed, and the placement of genus in Cossoninae is discussed. A short note on biogeography of Pselactus is provided.

The genus Aphanommata in the Old World is reviewed. Aphanommata kuscheli sp. nov. from São Nicolau and A. strakai sp. nov. from Fogo (both Cape Verde islands) are described. Aphanommata euphorbiarum (Wollaston, 1867) from Santo Antão in the Cape Verde islands is redescribed and its lectotype is designated. All three Aphanommata species from the Cape Verde islands as well as A. filum (Mulsant & Rey, 1859) from Old World are diagnosed, illustrated, and keyed. Mature larva of A. kuscheli sp. nov. is described, larval morphology is discussed and the current state of knowledge about immature stages of Cossoninae is summarized. Vertical and inter-insular distributional pattern of Cape Verde Aphanommata and Pselactus is reviewed and discussed.

A New Species

Caprella wirtzi sp. nov. from the Cape Verde Islands is described. It is close to C. liparotensis a species recorded from Portugal and along the Mediterranean coasts to the Black Sea, but distinguished from C. liparotensis by the morphology of antenna 2, gnathopod 2 and peraeonites 3, 6 and 7. Variation from C. liparotensis is also discussed.

A key is provided to 14 species of Scirtothrips recorded from Africa south of the Sahara, including Cape Verde Islands. S. dodonaeae sp. n. is described from Dodonaea in South Africa, and the possibility is discussed that South African populations here referred to as S. aff. dorsalis represent a new species. Type specimens of the six Scirtothrips species described by J.C.Faure have been re-examined, and brief diagnoses are provided for all 14 species.

A New Species

AbstractThe new species Drupeus hygropetricus from hygropetric habitats in North Taiwan is described and illustrated. A cladistic analysis of ten examplar genera of Ptilodactylidae and three outgroups with 81 characters (47 adult, 33 larval and one pupal) strongly supports the monophyly of the Cladotominae and the inclusion of the genus Drupeus within that subfamily. The morphological adaptations of the immature stages of Drupeus to hygropetric habitats are discussed.

A New Species

A survey of crustaceans associated with benthic invertebrates in near-shore habitats at islands of the Cape Verde archipelago yielded a new species belonging to the genusHeteromysis, subgenusOlivemysis:H. sabelliphilasp. nov. shows a non-obligatory association with the sabellid polychaeteBranchiomma nigromaculatumonly during the night. This is the first documented mysid–polychaete association. The mysids apparently took particles collected by the polychaete, suggesting a kleptoparasitic interspecific relationship. A set of three specifically modified setae on the antennular trunk is shared by the new species with twoHeteromysisspecies from Madeira (subtropical N.E. Atlantic), suggesting a close morphological relationship within the subgenusOlivemysis: withH. wirtzi, commensal of the sea anemoneTelmatactis cricoides, and withH. dardani, commensal of the hermit crabDardanus calidus. A key to the Heteromysinae of the E. Atlantic and Mediterranean is given.
