The octocoral associated species Paraclimenes gorgonicola is a deep-sea palaemonid shrimp briefly described in Bruce (1969) without illustrations. Paraclimenes franklini, the type species of the genus Paraclimenes, has been considered as a valid species and distinguished from P. gorgonicola by the presence of articulated postrostral teeth on the carapace. Paraclimenes gorgonicola is herein fully redescribed and illustrated on the basis of the type series which is deposited in Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, The Netherlands and recently collected specimens from shallow waters around Jejudo Island, Korea, and compared with P. franklini. It is demonstrated that both taxa are conspecific and thus P. franklini is considered to be a junior synonym of P. gorgonicola.

This study concerns the diplopod genus Eucampesmella Schubart, 1955, widespread in Brazil. After this work, the genus includes 12 valid species, and three incertae sedis: E. pugiuncula (Schubart, 1946), E. brunnea Kraus, 1959 and E. schubarti Kraus, 1957. The type-species, Eucampesmella tricuspis (Attems, 1931), is redescribed based on the holotype, and the following six new Brazilian species are added: Eucampesmella macunaima sp. nov. from the states of Rondônia, Pará, and Piauí; E. capitu sp. nov. from the states of Piauí and Paraíba; E. brascubas sp. nov. from the state of Sergipe; E. iracema sp. nov. from the state of Pernambuco; E. pedrobala sp. nov. from the state of Ceará; and E. lalla sp. nov. from the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Furthermore, E. lartiguei ferrii (Schubart, 1956) is recognized as a junior synonym of E. lartiguei lartiguei (Silvestri, 1897), which also had its status changed, and E. sulcata (Attems, 1898) is revalidated, prevailing under the name Leptodesmus tuberculiporus Attems, 1898. In addition, drawings, diagnoses, and distribution maps for all species of the genus are provided.

Taxonomic Review

The genus Phasmotaenia Navás, 1907 (type-species: Taeniosoma sanchezi Bolívar, 1897) is currently known only from the Philippine Islands and Taiwan, but here shown to extend eastwards as far as to the Solomon Islands, Northern New Guinea and even Fiji. A taxonomic review of the genus, and updated keys to the species are presented. The type-species of Phasmotaenia Navás, 1907, P. sanchezi (Bolívar, 1897) from Luzon, Philippines is shown to have been misinterpreted by previous authors. This has resulted in the description of the here revealed junior synonym Phasmotaenia elongata Zompro & Eusebio, 2000 (n. syn.). A survey of the intraspecific variation of P. sanchezi (Bolívar, 1897) is provided along with illustrations of the holotype. Phasmotaenia australe (Günther, 1933) from the Solomon Islands is removed from synonymy with Phasmotaenia godeffroyi (Redtenbacher, 1908) n. comb. from Micronesia and shown to be a distinct and valid species (rev. stat.). Both species are transferred to Phasmotaenia Navás, 1907. Examination of the paratypes of P. australe (Günther, 1933) has revealed these to represent two different species distinct from the holotype, one of which is described as new herein (P. guentheri n. sp.). The male of P. australe is

Pleuroprion zur Strassen, 1903 is revised and restricted to its type species, Antares chuni zur Strassen, 1902, which is redescribed, using the type material from the German Deep-Sea Expedition in 1898–1899 and more recent material. Pleuroprion is transferred to Holidoteidae Wägele, 1989. Pleuroprion frigidum Hansen, 1916 is transferred to Astacilla Cordiner, 1793 (Arcturidae), while all other species previously placed in Pleuroprion, i.e. P. murdochi (Benedict, 1898), P. chlebovitschi Kussakin, 1972, P. fabulosum Gujanova, 1955, P. furcatum Kussakin, 1982, P. hystrix (Sars, 1877), P. intermedium (Richardson, 1899), P. iturupicum Kussakin & Mezhov, 1979 and P. toporoki Kussakin, 1972, are transferred to Spectrarcturus Schultz, 1981 (Arcturidae). The type species of Spectrarcturus, S. multispinatus Schultz, 1981, is a subjective junior synonym of Arcturus murdochi Benedict, 1898, now S. murdochi comb. nov. Spectrarcturus murdochi (Benedict, 1898) is redescribed on the basis of its type material and new material from South Greenland.

The genus Varta Distant (type species: Varta rubrofasciata Distant) is often treated as a junior synonym of Stymphalus St l (type species: Platymetopius rubrolineatus St l). Several species from the Oriental region have been misidentified either as S. rubrolineatus (St l) or as S. rubrostriatus (Horv th). All these species are treated here as belonging to the Varta-Stymphalus generic complex and are analyzed. The genus Stymphalus is redefined to include only the type species, S. rubrolineatus (St l), and the genus is restricted to the Afrotropical region. The genus Varta is more widespread and is distributed in the Oriental and Palaearctic regions. The following new taxa are described and their distributions given in parentheses. Shivania gen. nov., S. serrata sp. nov. (type species; Kenya); Varta bifida sp. nov. (Thailand), V. japonica sp. nov. (Japan and S. China), V. longula sp. nov. (Australia and Papua New Guinea), V. sympatrica sp. nov. (S. China), Vartalapa gen. nov., V. curvata sp. nov. (China: Fujian), V. malayana sp. nov. (Malaysia), and V. robusta sp. nov.

(China: Guangdong), X. compressa sp. nov. (Sabah), X. cylindrica sp. nov. (Cambodia and Vietnam), and X. harpago sp. nov. (Sabah and Laos). Stymphalus modesta Linnavuori is transferred to the genus Shivania. Platymetopius rubrovittatus Matsumura and Deltocephalus rubrolineatus Motschulsky are transferred to the genus Varta and the former is considered a valid species. All taxa are described and illustrated. Keys to the included genera and species are also provided.

Abstract. The type specimens of Arcacythere chapmani Hornibrook, 1952 (the type species of Arcacythere Hornibrook, 1953; Tertiary, New Zealand) have been re-examined and are shown to have internal carapace features identical to those of Rockallia Whatley, Frame &amp; Whittaker, 1978. Rockallia is known from Cenozoic deep-sea sediments worldwide and from the Oligocene and Miocene of northwestern Europe. The external carapace morphologies of Arcacythere and Rockallia show only minor distribution of the fossae. Rockallia is, therefore, shown to be a subjective junior synonym of Arcacythere. An emended diagnosis of A. chapmani is given.

A taxonomic review of the known Taiwanese taxa of the pericaline Lebiini, this paper includes a key to the genera, keys to species, descriptions, and redescriptions of all species, illustrations, geographic range maps, re-rankings, and new synonymies. In total 34 species are treated, nine of which are described as new. A new genus and new species are as follows:Bellavalentisgen. n., (type speciesDolichoctiskuzugamiiShibata, 1967);Amphimenesabsensacidussp. n.;Amphimenesbeichatiensissp. n.;Amphimenescarinacaulissp. n.; Catascopus(s. str.)asahartisp. n.; Catascopus(s. str.)viridiorchissp. n.; Coptodera (Coptoderina) occultasp. n.;Dolichoctisbadiadorsissp. n.;Dolichoctisdilatatasp. n.;Moctherusobscurabasissp. n.After close examination of the type material of several species, we were able to determine thatCoptoderinachaudoirianguilipennis(Nakane and Okhura) is a junior synonym of Coptodera (Coptoderina) chaudoiri Andrewes,syn. n.andCoptoderanobilisJedlička is also a junior synonym ofC.chaudoiri,syn. n.DolichoctisstriatusformosanusHabu is a junior synonym ofDolichoctisrotundata(Schmidt-Goebel),syn. n.Dolichoctis (Mochtherus) uenoi Habu is a junior synonym ofMochtherusluctuosusPutzeys,syn. n.PericalusformosanusDupuis was recently ranked as a subspecies ofPericalusornatusformosanusDupuis.
