A new species of Physiculus, P. caboverdensis n. sp., is described from the outer shelf and upper slope of the Cape Verde Islands. This species differs from all other congeners from the Atlantic Ocean by its peculiar dentition, composed of large fang-like teeth in both jaws, interspaced with smaller canine-like teeth, arranged in two series on upper jaw and one on lower. This is the tenth species of the genus to occur in the Atlantic Ocean and the third to be recorded from the Cape Verde Islands.

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.

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 New Species

The bathyal genus Benthocometes (Teleostei: Ophidiidae) is revised based on 29 specimens from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and one from off NW Australia. Examination of the Atlantic and Mediterranean material confirmed the synonomizing of the three Atlantic species, B. robustus, B. armatum and B. muraenolepis. The Australian specimen represents a new species, B. australiensis, differing from B. robustus in e.g. the number of long rakers on the anterior gill arch, the form of the palatine dentition and the predorsal and upper jaw lengths.

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

The new anchovy Encrasicholina sigma n. sp. is described on the basis of 20 specimens collected from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Although the new species can be distinguished from all other congeners except for Encrasicholina pseudoheteroloba (Hardenberg 1933) by having a long upper jaw reaching to posterior margin of preopercle, dorsal and anal fins with two unbranched rays, an exposed bony urohyal, and spine-like scutes on the abdomen, E. sigma is distinguished from E. pseudoheteroloba by lower total gill-raker counts on the first, second, third, and fourth gill arches, and on the posterior face of the third gill arch (37–42, 31–35, 18–23, 16–20, and 4–7, respectively vs. 45–55, 34–45, 22–29, 19–25, and 4–9 in E. pseudoheteroloba) and a longer head (25.2–27.0% of SL vs. 22.8–27.5%) and shorter anal-fin base (12.9–14.8% of SL vs. 13.8–18.7%).
