A new species of stephid calanoids copepodStephos grieveaesp. nov. was collected from an anchialine cave on Mljet Island (Croatia). The new species can be distinguished from otherStephosspp. by a combination of the following features: last pedigerous somite slightly asymmetrical, female genital double-somite symmetrical in ventral view, about as long as wide, single operculum; antennules of both sexes are symmetrical, 24-segmented and very long, reaching almost to end of anal somite; antennal exopod 7-segmented; maxillule displays 13 armature elements on praecoxal arthrite; female fifth legs symmetrical, uniramous and 3-segmented, terminal segment very long armed with spinules distally along inner and outer margins, single small spine on anterior surface and spiniform process laterally; male fifth legs are uniramous and asymmetrically, right leg 4-segmented and left 5-segmented, segment 4 not swollen and segment 5 simple, crescent shaped and is connected to segment 4 at approximately one quarter of its length. The shorter part of segment 5 tapers into a heavy process, while the longer part forms a club-shaped, curved extension.

A new species of calanoid copepod, Centropages aegypticus sp. nov. collected from the Egyptian coasts of the northern Red Sea is described. This species is unique in having two pointed conical processes on the dorsal surface of cephalosome in both sexes, female genital compound somite with irregular-surface outline of the right swelling part and transverse dorsolateral row of spinules on the left side, 2-segmented exopod of the female leg 5, asymmetrical medial processes of the female leg 5, of which the left one is longer and medially-curved and the right one with oblique row of thick spinules, and a club-shaped medial seta on the third exopodal segment of the male leg 5. The new species is similar to C. tenuiremis, but is not assigned to the same species group as the latter species or to any other groups.

AbstractA new species, Belondira bagongshanensis n. sp., extracted from soil under grass in Bagongshan Forest Park, Anhui Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is mainly characterized by a body length 1.6–2.1 mm; cephalic framework moderately sclerotized; odontostyle robust with a distinct lumen; anterior part of pharynx with a distinct fusiform swelling, bearing distinct sclerotized valve plates and basal expansion occupying about three-fifths of the total neck length; female genital system mono-opisthodelphic and anterior branch 0.8–1.6 times the corresponding body diameter; tail short and hemispheroid; male spicules 36–49 μm long and two widely spaced ventromedian supplements. The new species is close to B. wajahati, B. golden and B. eugeniae in possessing a short tail, a robust odontostyle with a distinct aperture and a moderately sclerotized cephalic framework. New sequences of 18S rDNA and the D2–D3 region of 28S rDNA of the new species were also identified.

Steleops buitrerensis n. sp. is here described and illustrated; it constitutes the 14 th species known in the genus, the 12 th known in the neotropics, and the first in the genus to be recorded in Colombia. The forewings and antennae are sexually dimorphic, and the head pattern of coloration, as well as the genital structure, separates it from the other described species. The location of the types is indicated in the description, and a key is included to separate it from the other South American species. S. pulcher New, previously known only in Mato Grosso, Brazil, is here recorded in Colombia.

The genus Teleogryllus is known from 52 species distributed worldwide, of which India is home to 11 species. We update Teleogryllus diversity by describing a new species, T. rohinae Jaiswara & Jain sp. nov., from Kerala, India. In addition, we revise the description of the two widespread Teleogryllus species, i.e., T. mitratus (Burmeister, 1838) and T. occipitalis (Serville, 1838) and describe their female genital structures for the first time. Finally, we provide updated identification keys for all Indian Teleogryllus species.

A new species of siphonostomatoid copepod is described from a hydrothermal vent in the Tofua Arc of the southwestern Pacific at a depth of 1018 m. Chasmatopontius inflatus sp. nov. (Copepoda, Siphonostomatoida, Dirivultidae) is defined and illustrated from specimens isolated from washings of invertebrates including gastropods, bivalves, and crustaceans collected from a hydrothermal vent field. A brief description of its habitat is presented. This new species can be distinguished from C. thescalus, the only known congener, by the greatly expanded mediodistal seta of the caudal ramus in the female, the three-segmented endopod of the female maxilliped, the smaller female body, not exceeding 0.9 mm in length, and the unique shape of the female genital double-somite.
