AbstractThe genus Mitelloides Evans is revised. Three species are recognised and described; M. moaensis Evans (the type species) and two new species, M. thorntonensís and M. mouldsi. A key to the males of the genus is provided, and the known distributions of all species are mapped. The genus is known only from north-east Queensland, the Torres Strait Islands, and Papua New Guinea.

Marksomyia is proposed as a new subgenus of the genus Culicoides Latreille to embrace six species from Australia and New Guinea. Comparative descriptions of males and females of C. zentae sp. nov. and C. kayi sp. nov., pupae of C. zentae and redescriptions of C. marksi Lee & Reye, C. dycei Lee & Reye, C. parvimaculatus Lee & Reye and C. pseudostigmaticus Tokunaga are presented together with distributional data and keys for their specific determination. The designated type species of the subgenus is C. marksi. Marksomyia is further subdivided into three species complexes based on the shape and sclerotisation of the spermathecae.

First Time

The assassin bugs of the genus Ptilocerus Gray, 1831 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Holoptilinae) occurring in the Australian Region are reviewed for the first time, resulting in the description of two new species, viz., P. spangenbergi sp. nov. (Queensland and Northern Territory, Australia) and P. papuensis sp. nov. (Papua New Guinea). The latter species differs from P. fuscus Gray, 1831 (the type-species of genus Ptilocerus) in a couple of major external morphological characters, hence its tentative placement in the genus Ptilocerus is discussed. A key for the separation of the two new species is provided.

The key includes eight genera known to occur in Australia and Papua New Guinea. These are Ctenarytaina Ferris & Klyver (type genus), Syncarpiolyma Froggatt, Eriopsylla Froggatt, Blastopsylla Taylor, Anoeconeossa Taylor, Leptospermonastes Taylor, and two new genera, Agelaeopsylla and Cryptoneossa. Keys to the species in Agelaeopsylh, Cryptoneossa and Leptospermonastes are given. Agelaeopsylla contains five new species, A. dividua (type species), A. maculatae, A. corymbiae, A. papuanae (which also occurs in Papua New Guinea), and A. insolita. They feed mainly on Angophora and two 'subgenera' of Eucalyptus (Corymbia and Blakella). The hosts of Cryptoneossa, which contains five new species, C. vulgaris (type species), C. occidentalis, C. triangula, C. minuta, and C. leptospermi, are mainly in the 'subgenera' Monocalyptus and Corymbia of Eucalyptus; some are found on Symphyomyrtus and smaller subgenera, one on Angophora, and one on Leptospermum. Two new species of Leptospermonastes are described; L. maculosipennis and L. fasciata were both collected from Melaleuca spp., a new host for this genus. Eriopsylla and its type species, E. viridis, are redescribed, with one new species, E. malleensis.

The Relationship

The genus Cancricepon Giard & Bonnier, 1887 is recorded for the first time from Australia, the Maldives, Papua New Guinea and Taiwan. Four species of Cancricepon are reported here, and two are new to science. Cancricepon choprae (Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1925) is reported from the Gulf of Mexico on the Florida coast, infesting a new host, Micropanope cf. sculptipes Stimpson, 1871. Cancricepon castroi n. sp. is described from Australia, the Maldives, Japan and Papua New Guinea parasitizing coral crabs of the family Trapeziidae. Cancricepon cf. multituberosum An, Yu & Williams, 2012 is recorded from a specimen of Leptodius affinis (De Haan, 1835) from Taiwan. Specimens previously misidentified as C. choprae parasitizing Scalopidia spinosipes Stimpson, 1858, from China are described as C. beibusinus n. sp. All known hosts and localities of species of Cancricepon are summarized, and a key to the species in the genus is provided. The similarities between species of Cancricepon and the type species of Trapezicepon Bonnier, 1900, are discussed and Trapezicepon thalamitae Markham, 1985, is transferred to Scyracepon Tattersall, 1905.

The Oriental and Australasian species of Acmopolynema Ogloblin (Mymaridae) are reviewed; a key to 19 species with known females is given. The genus Baburia Hedquist is synonymized under Acmopolynema and its type species is transferred to Acmopolynema as A. narendrani (Hedquist) comb. n. Ten new species of Acmopolynema are described: A. capeyorki sp. n. (Australia), A. dilemma sp. n. (China), A. garemma sp. n. (Indonesia), A. isaura sp. n. (Indonesia), A. lurindu sp. n. (Nepal), A. neznakomka sp. n. (Papua New Guinea), A. nupta sp. n. (Nepal), A. orchidea sp. n. (Taiwan), A. problema sp. n. (India), and A. shinbana sp. n. (Malaysia). The following new synonymies are proposed: A. maculata Subba Rao and A. nixoni Subba Rao under A. orientale (Narayanan, Subba Rao & Kaur), A. reticoxilla Xu & Lin under A. longicoxillum Xu & Lin, A. himalum Hayat & Anis under A. indochinense (Soyka), and Baburia fasciata Hedquist under A. tachikawai Taguchi. The genera Chaetomymar Ogloblin and Acanthomymar Subba Rao are synonymized under Palaeoneura Waterhouse, which is redescribed along with its type species, P. interrupta Waterhouse (Australia). Ten species of Chaetomymar, 32 Australian species described originally in Polynema Haliday, Polynema nigrum (Subba Rao) (type species of Acanthomymar), and Acmopolynema unimaculatum Hayat & Anis are transferred to Palaeoneura as new combinations. Polynema ara Girault (= P. blackbourni Girault, syn. n. and P. helena Girault, syn. n.) is transferred to Richteria Girault; P. elatum Girault, P. glabricorpus Girault, P. grotiusi Girault, P. lodgei Girault and P. wallacei Girault are transferred to Agalmopolynema Ogloblin, all comb. n. from Polynema. One new genus and one new subgenus are described: Boccacciomymar gen. n., with type species Palaeoneura turneri Waterhouse (Australia) and Prosto, subgen. n. of Boccacciomymar, with type species Polynema victoria Girault (Australia). Polynema schumanni Girault and P. quadripetiolatum Girault are synonymized under Boccacciomymar (B.) turneri (Waterhouse), comb. n. from Palaeoneura. Palaeoneura evanescens Waterhouse is transferred to Boccacciomymar as B. (B.) evanescens (Waterhouse), comb. n.; Polynema aligherini Girault and P. victoria are transferred to Boccacciomymar (Prosto) as, respectively, B. (P.) aligherini (Girault), comb. n. and B. (P.) victoria (Girault), comb. n. Two new species of Boccacciomymar (Boccacciomymar) and four new species of B. (Prosto) are described: B. (B.) conquistador sp. n. (Australia), B. (B.) decameron sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) maria sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) nigugu sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) pobeda sp. n. (New Zealand), and B. (P.) tak sp. n. (New Zealand). A key to the Australian Polynema-group genera of Mymaridae is provided. The Neotropical genus Xenopolynema Ogloblin, stat. rev., with type species X. areolatum Ogloblin stat. rev., is removed from previous synonymy under Polynema, reinstated as a valid genus, and re-diagnosed based on the type specimens from Argentina and new material from Chile; its relationships with Boccacciomymar are discussed.
