Frontodendroidopsis pennyi, a new species of fire-colored beetle, is described from two males taken along the South Fork of Yamu He, 1.3 km east of Lao Shibali, northwestern Yunnan Province, China at an elevation of 2250 meters. This is the third described Frontodendroidopsis, the others being F. gibbiceps Young, also from China and the Japanese F. ocularis (Lewis). A similar cranial modification, large compound eyes, and strongly pectinate antennae place the new species in Frontodendroidopsis, although the antennal pedicel is shorter. Unlike F. gibbiceps the antennal insertions are not swollen and the frons is not carinate. The conspicuously emarginate fifth ventrite exhibited by males F. pennyi and F. gibbiceps distinguishes both of these species from F. ocularis.

Perrottetia taronensis from the Dulong Jiang valley in northwestern Yunnan Province, China and the Babulongtan mountain range in northern Kachin State, Myanmar is here described as a new species of the Dipentodontaceae. It is the third species of the genus to be recognized for China and the first to be reported for Myanmar. It is similar to P. alpestriss.s. but differs by characters of its leaf margins, inflorescences, and fruit. The three subspecies of P. alpestris recognized by Hou in “Flora Malesiana” are here recognized as three distinct species, i.e., P. alpestris, P. moluccana, and P. philippinensis on the basis of differences in diagnostic characters and distribution. The report in the “Flora of China” of the Taiwan species P. arisanensis from Yunnan is determined to be incorrect due to misidentification of two specimens at KUN.

Burrowing Mayfly

A new species of sand-burrowing mayfly (Ephemeroptera: Behningiidae), Behningia nujiangensis Zhou & Bisset, is described based on more than 50 nymphs collected from the Nujiang River in Yunnan Province, P.R. China. This is the first species of the family Behningiidae discovered in China. It is also the second species of genus Behningia, and the third species of the family Behningiidae collected from the Oriental biogeographic region. The shapes of the labrum and the labium in B. nujiangensis are markedly different from those found in other species of Behningia. Differences in the mandibles, the galea-lacina of maxillae, and both the prothoracic and metathoracic legs differentiate B. nujiangensis from both B. baei and B. ulmeri. The biology of and conservation challenges for B. nujiangensis are also briefly discussed.

A new species of the fire-colored beetle genus Pseudopyrochroa Pic, 1906, is described from northwestern Yunnan Province, China. The new species, Pseudopyrochroa grzymalae, is superficially similar to P. cardoni (Fairmaire), known from Kashmir and Sikkim. A complete species diagnosis is presented along with a key to adult males of the five known Yunnan Pseudopyrochroa species. The repository for the holotype of Frontodendroidopsis pennyi Young is corrected from the California Academy of Sciences to the Institute of Zoology, Bejing.

A new species of the Lethe trimacula-group, viz. L. langsongyuni sp. nov. is described from Weixi County, representing the third member of this species group in northwestern part of Yunnan Province, southwestern China. In general L. langsongyuni sp. nov. is closely related to L. liae Huang, 2002, L. proxima Leech, 1892 and L. umedai albofasciata Huang, 2002, but it can be distinguished from all of them by combination of several details in wing pattern and male genitalia. The adults and male genitalia of the species aforementioned are illustrated.

A new species of Pottiaceae, Hyophila flavolimbata S. He & Y.-J. Yi, is described and illustrated from northwestern Yunnan Province, China. The new species is most similar to H. involuta in having spathulate leaves with non-papillose leaf cells and two stereid bands in costa. Its distinguishing characteristics include a differentiated leaf margin bordered by 3–4 rows of lightly yellowish thick-walled cells, leaf cells completely plane on both abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces, papillose stem epidermal cells, a layer of pseudoleptoids developed next to hydroids in central strand, and the presence of subguide cells in costa.

A new species of Sphaerodoridae (Annelida: Polychaeta),Sphaerodoropsis solissp. nov., is described from the Challenger Plateau in the Tasman Sea, south-west Pacific. It is the third species of the genus with ventral macrotubercles and is further characterized by the lack of dorsal papillae and the specific arrangement pattern of ventral papillae. A character indicating sexual dimorphism, that has been observed in three morphologically similar species,S. arctowskyensisHartmann-Schröder & Rosenfeldt, 1988,S. bisphaeroserialis(Hartmann-Schröder, 1974c), andS. garciaalvareziMoreira, Cacabelos & Troncoso, 2004, is confirmed forS. solissp. nov. BesidesS. solissp. nov.,S. arctowskyensisandS. parva(Ehlers, 1913) are newly recorded from the Challenger Plateau and the East Campbell Plateau in the south-west Pacific. An updated key for the genusSphaerodoropsisis provided.

Leptochelia Vatulelensis(Crustacea: Tanaidacea), A New Species From Anchialine Caves of the South-Western PacificLeptochelia vatulelensisn. sp., discovered on the small islands of Vatulele (Fijian group) and Ouvéa (Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia), is described and illustrated. The new species is distinguished from the others of the"Leptochelia-dubiagroup" (to which it is generally similar) by the following combination of morphological characteristics: (1) the presence of three to four distal setae on the maxilliped basis; (2) merus of pereopods III and IV with only a distosternal seta; (3) endopod of the uropods formed of four (rarely three) articles; (4) males with two (sometimes three) relatively short aesthetascs on the first five articles of the antennular flagellum; (5) male cheliped with a diminished dimorphism; (6) males with a vertical comb-row of setae on the cheliped propodus. Although it inhabits inland, anchialine caves, the new species lacks morphological features that are characteristic of some cave species.
