Distal Spine

A new genus and species of epigean pseudoscorpions belonging to the subfamily Neobisiinae Chamberlin, 1930, is described from western Georgia and its diagnostic characters are illustrated. Cornuroncus n. gen. resembles the genus Roncus L. Koch, 1873 in several characters but differs by having a short dorso-distal spine on tarsus IV, and the presence of a ventral tooth on one of the claws of tarsus IV. An identification key for all valid Neobisiinae genera is provided.

A new genus and species of the tribe Protosternini, Sphaerocetum malayanum gen. & sp. n., is described from the peninsular Malaysia (Perak). A detailed description is provided along with habitus photographs, line drawings and SEM micrographs of relevant diagnostic characters. Although clearly belonging to the Protosternini, the new genus varies in several characters previously considered as uniform within the tribe; these characters are discussed in detail. An updated identification key to protosternine genera is also provided.

The Relationship

A new genus and species of the lacewing family Psychopsidae, Electropsychops handlirschi gen. et sp. nov., is described based on a well preserved male specimen from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar. The new genus possesses a number of diagnostic characters of Psychopsidae, i.e., the lack of a forewing median nygma, the presence of a vena triplica, and the straight and barely forked RA. However, it also exhibits some remarkable characters that are present in Osmylopsychopidae, such as the distally narrowed forewing costal space and the sigmoid MA stem in the hind wing. The relationship between Psychopsidae and Osmylopsychopidae is briefly discussed.

Commensal Relationship

A commensal relationship is described between the polyclad flatworm Paraprostatum echinolittorinae Faubel & Sluys gen. et sp. nov. and gastropod molluscs living on the Pacific coast of central America. Although the worms are relatively large in comparison with their hosts, the latter sustained no apparent damage. Considering the fact that the molluscs live in the upper eulittoral zone and littoral fringe of the shore, it is unlikely that the polyclads could survive for long outside the hosts. Diagnostic characters for the new genus and species are a long penial stylet joined to the proximal vesicle and absence of Lang's vesicle. It is pointed out that Aprostatum clippertoni Bock, 1913 and A. longipenis (Kato, 1943) have been incorrectly transferred to the genus Euplana Girard, 1893 and that Discoplana malagensis Doignon, Artois & Deheyn, 2003 should be transferred to the genus Ilyella Faubel, 1983.

A new genus and species of the extinct family Weitschatidae, Criniverticillus longicumulus gen. et sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha), is described and illustrated from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The new species is based on a fossil specimen with complete body, wings and antennae. The family diagnosis is updated to include similarities between Criniverticillus, Pseudoweitschatus and Weitschatus. An identification key to species of Weitschatidae is provided.

The occurrence of true Eneopterinae in the Antilles is recorded herein for the first time, with the description of a new genus and species herein described from eastern Cuba (Greater Antilles): Antillobinthus inexpectatus Yong & Desutter-Grandcolas, n. gen. n. sp. It is described and illustrated in detail, including color photographs of habitus, morphologically diagnostic characters and habitat. The present finding revives a biogeographical debate, as no Eneopterinae was up-to-now known from the Antilles.

Diagnostic Characters

A new genus and species of Keroplatidae (Diptera), Langkawiana maculata gen. et sp.n., is described and its systematic position is discussed. The description is based on a male collected at Langkawi Island (Malaysia). Diagnostic characters of the new genus are as follows: the absence of ocelli, membraneous area around cerebral sclerite continues behind compound eyes, both orbital sclerite and frons well developed, short palpomeres, wings with dark bands, relatively long radio-median fusion, tibial trichia arranged in regular rows, reduced spurs on mid and hind tibia, and details on male terminalia. A new phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Robsonomyiini is proposed and a key to genera is presented.

Oval Body

This paper describes a unique new mirine plant bug collected in Jeollanamdo province and Gyeongsangbukdo province, South Korea. This mirid, which is represents a new genus of the tribe Mirini, exhibits external features such as an oval body, a vertex without transverse carina, an impunctate pronotum, and hemelytra that are shallowly punctate with blackish short pubescence. Although somewhat similar externally to certain species of the genus Lygocorides Yasunaga, the new mirid differs substantially with respect to the structure of the male genitalia; in particular, the vesica possesses a peculiar bundle of spinelike spicules and coiled-branched lobe-sclerites. Several external diagnostic characters also support the placement of this species into a new genus.
