Cuticular Ornamentation

Five species of Batillipes Richters, 1909 were collected from subtidal sediments of the Portuguese coast. Two of them, B. algharbensis sp. nov. and B. lusitanus sp. nov., are new to science. Batillipes algharbensis sp. nov. differs from all the other Batillipes species in having the middle toes 3 on the fourth feet longer than middle toes 4 and by the presence of rounded lateral body projections between legs III and IV. Batillipes lusitanus sp. nov. has the middle toes of the fourth feet equal in length, but it exhibits a dorsal cuticular ornamentation, constituted by large pillars, similar to the cuticle of B. adriaticus Grimaldi de Zio, Morone De Lucia, D’Addabbo Gallo & Grimaldi, 1979 and B. roscoffensis Kristensen, 1978. However, contrary to B. adriaticus, the caudal apparatus of B. lusitanus sp. nov. is a roundish cuticular expansion and B. roscoffensis lacks caudal apparatus. Batillipes adriaticus and B. phreaticus Renaud-Debyser, 1959 are new records for Portugal. Based on the examination of specimens of B. phreaticus collected at the Portuguese coast and their comparison with type material of this species and also of B. littoralis Renaud-Debyser, 1959, the toe arrangement patterns in species of Batillipes are clarified and a new identification key to species of this genus is provided.

Taraxapseudes n. gen. is proposed with the type and only described species, Taraxapseudes diversus (Lang, 1968) n. comb. The genus Atlantapseudes is rediagnosed and emended, excluding Atlantapseudes diversus (Lang, 1968) from the genus. Atlantapseudes B|cescu, 1978 is reported for the first time from Brazil and Madagascar. Atlantapseudes brasiliensis sp. nov. and Atlantapseudes madagascariensis sp. nov. are described in the present paper. Atlantapseudes brasiliensis can be distinguished from the other species in the genus by the presence of curved spiniform apophyses on the posterior margins of pereonites 1–3. Atlantapseudes madagascariensis was found to have a long antennal squama reaching nearly to the fourth article and a carapace with a lateral apophysis bordered by two setae. A key to species of Atlantapseudes is provided along with a table to facilitate identification.Taraxapseudes n. gen. é proposto somente com a espécie tipo descrita, Taraxapseudes diversus (Lang, 1968) n. comb. O gênero tem sua diagnose refeita e corrigida, excluindo Atlantapseudes diversus (Lang, 1968) do gênero. Atlantapseudes B|cescu, 1978 é registrado pela primeira vez no Brasil e em Madagascar. Atlantapseudes brasiliensis sp. nov. and Atlantapseudes madagascariensis sp. nov. são descritas no presente trabalho. Atlantapseudes brasiliensis pode ser distinguida das demais espécies do gênero pela presença de apófises espiniformes curvas na margem posterior dos pereonitos 1–3. Atlantapseudes madagascariensis possui longa escama na antena quase alcançando o quarto artículo e a carapaça com apófise lateral com duas cerdas. Uma chave para espécies de Atlantapseudes é fornecida junto com uma tabela para facilitar a identificação.

Wasps of the genus Eustenogaster van der Vecht, 1969, with 17 species currently recognized, are distributed from the Indian subcontinent in the west to the Philippines, Sulawesi Island and Java Island in the east. Two new species of hover wasp genus Eustenogaster (E. multifolia sp. nov., E. sumatraensis sp. nov.) are described from specimens collected in Sumatra Island. The female of E. vietnamensis occurring in Vietnam are described for the first time. The lectotypes of Paravespa eva Bell, 1936 and Ischnogaster ornatifrons Cameron, 1902 are designated. The new taxonomic status is proposed for Stenogaster eximioides Dover and Rao, 1922 as a good (=valid) species of Eustenogaster. The synonymy of Ischnogaster ornatifrons Cameron, 1902 with Eustenogaster micans (de Saussure, 1852) has been confirmed. A revised key to species and a taxonomic and distributional checklist of all the species of Eustenogaster are provided.

Two New Species

Two new species – Plumatella trasimenica, from Lake Trasimeno and from an external sedimentation pond of a tropical fish farm, and Plumatella timwoodi, from Lake Piediluco – are described. These species belong to the ‘repens group’ (P. bushnelli Wood, 2001; P. geimermassardi Wood & Okamura, 2004; P. nitens Wood, 1996; P. repens (Linné, 1758); P. rugosa Wood, Geimer & Massard, 1998; P. similirepens Wood, 2001; P. viganoi Taticchi, 2010), because the annulus-chamber pores of the floatoblast are always characterised by the presence of long spines regularly distributed around the pores. Here, further morphological features, which distinguish them from the other species of the repens group, are described for both new species. The coexistence in the same sampling sites of species of the repens-group indicates that the new species are not ecomorphs of similar species.
