A poorly known perlid species, Flavoperla ovalolobata (Wu, 1948) is redescribed based on an adult male and four females newly collected at the type locality, Wuyishan located in Fujian Province of southeastern coastal China. Illustrations and color photographs are provided for this species. The taxonomic relationship of this taxon is discussed with related taxa.

Two species of the genus Furcaperla Sivec 1988 (in: Sivec et al. 1988), F. bifurcata (Wu, 1948) and F. jiangxiensis Yang & Yang, 1991 are illustrated and redescribed. The taxonomic relationship of F. bifurcata and F. jiangxiensis is discussed. An unassociated female from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Furcaperla Cn-G is described under informal designation. The first record for F. jiangxiensis from Fujian Province is given.

Kamimuria shiae sp. n. and K. tenuilobata sp. n., two new perlid stoneflies from Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province, eastern China, are described as new to science. The new species are compared with similar congeners. Kamimuria robusta Wu, 1948 is rediscovered from the type locality of the same mountain.

1. A local population of Gammarus pulex, infected with Heliospora longissima and Rotundula gammari, was found to have an intracellular developmental stage.2. Experimental infections of G. pulex were made with the two species of gregarines. In the case of R. gammari infections, large numbers of intracellular developmental stages were found.3. The taxonomic relationship of the genera Cephaloidophora and Rotundula is discussed.Thanks are due to Dr P. Tate for constant encouragement and guidance during the course of this work and for the many helpful suggestions in the preparation of the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Mr D. W. T. Crompton for kindly giving me the infected material. The work was completed during the tenure of a Royal Society and Nuffield Foundation Commonwealth Bursary.

A new genus of the julid tribe Brachyiulini, Enghophyllum gen. nov., is described, comprising two species from Greece. The type-species, E. naxium (Verhoeff, 1901) comb. nov. (ex Megaphyllum Verhoeff, 1894), appears to be rather widespread in the Aegean: it is known from Antiparos Island and Naxos Island (the type locality), both in the Cyclades, as well as East Mavri Islet, Dodecanese Archipelago (new record). The vulva of E. naxium is described for the first time. In addition, E. sifnium gen. et sp. nov. is described  based on a single adult male from Sifnos Island, Cyclades. The new genus is distinct from other genera of the Brachyiulini mainly by its peculiar gonopod structure, apparently disjunct and at least mostly apomorphous: (1) promeres broad, shield-like, in situ protruding mostly posteriad, completely covering the opisthomeres and gonopodal sinus; (2) transverse muscles and coxal apodemes of promere fully reduced; (3) opisthomere with three differentiated processes, i.e., lateral, basal posterior and apical posterior; (4) solenomere rather simple, tubular. The evolution and biogeography of the new genus are briefly discussed, both suggesting its profoundly long isolation in the Aegean region from the contribal genera in the adjacent Balkans and Anatolia.
