A New Species

In Colombia, the status of the Neotropical genus Pachychernes Beier, 1932 is unknown. The only available data in literature to support the presence of this genus is an adult of P. aff. subrobustus, possibly female, from copal resin without specific locality data, and a record at generic level from Northern Colombia. In this study, we extend the distribution of Pachychernes by describing a new species, P. florezi sp. n. and several reporting individuals of P. zehorum Muchmore, 1997 from Montes de María and the Caribbean coast of the country. These species are clearly differentiated from one another by the sexual dimorphism in the latter species, with a depression on the tarsus I in males. We also present an updated key for all species of the genus.

A New Species

A new species and eight new subspecies of Papilionoidea discovered in Vietnam between 2002 and 2020 are described and illustrated. The status of two taxa are revised. New taxa include Pieridae: Delias sanaca bidoupa Monastyrskii & Vu subspec. nov. and Talbotia naganum aurelia Monastyrskii & Vu subspec. nov.; Nymphalidae: Abrota ganga pulcheria Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Bassarona recta consonensis Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Pantoporia bieti aurantina Monastyrskii & To subspec. nov.; Ragadia latifasciata cristata Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Ragadia latifasciata crystallina Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Faunis indistincta luctus Monastyrskii & Vu subspec. nov. & Aemona gialaica Monastyrskii, K. Saito & Vu, spec. nov. The taxon infuscata Devyatkin & Monastyrskii, previously described as the subspecies Aemona tonkinensis infuscata, was elevated to the species level, while the taxon critias (Ragadia critias Riley & Godfrey) was reduced to a subspecies. Three Satyrinae species were recorded from Vietnam for the first time: Palaeonympha opalina Butler, 1871; Ypthima motschulskyi Bremer & Grey, 1853; and Ragadia latifasciata Leech, 1891.

A New Species

The present study focuses on shrimps belonging to the genus Lysmata Risso, 1816, collected from Madagascar during the Atimo Vatae expedition carried out in 2010. Lysmata malagasy sp. nov. is a new species belonging to the clade named “long accessory ramous” or “cosmopolitan” in previous phylogenetic studies. The new species can be distinguished from the only two other representatives of this group in the Indo-west Pacific, L. ternatensis De Man, 1902, and L. trisetacea (Heller, 1861), by the accessory ramus of the lateral antennular flagellum consisting of four elongated articles. Lysmata lipkei Okuno & Fiedler, 2010 is reported here from Madagascar with a remarkable extension of its known range after its original description from Japan. This species has also been reported from Singapore and, as alien species, from Brazil. Lastly, L. kuekenthali De Man, 1902 known from numerous localities in the Indo-West Pacific biogeographic area, is reported for the first time from Madagascar. Results of the present morphological and molecular analyses suggest that L. hochi Baeza & Anker, 2008 from the Caribbean Sea is a synonym of the Indo-West Pacific L. kuekenthali, and thus the latter species is alien in the western Atlantic.

Male Genital

A wasp mimicking praying mantis (Mantodea) of the early evolving Mantoididae family was discovered in 2013 at a research station near the Amazon River in Northern Peru. This adult specimen exhibited a striking bright red/orange and black coloration pattern that was undocumented in all known praying mantis species. We tested the status of this new specimen using external morphology, male genital dissections, and geographic distribution. Our findings demonstrate the specimen to represent a new species, Vespamantoida wherleyi gen. nov. sp. nov., that is closely allied with a recently described species, Mantoida toulgoeti Roy, 2010, both of which are included within the newly erected genus. To support our actions, we present high resolution images of museum preserved and living specimens, morphological illustrations, a generic-level distribution map, and recorded video of the behavior of the holotype taken in the field at the time of collection. The bright red/orange coloration contrasted with black markings, the general appearance of a hymenopteran that includes a narrowed wasp waist, and the locomotory patterns and antennal movements mark this newly discovered species as unique among all hymenopteran mimicking Mantoididae as well as all other praying mantises.

A New Species

Acanthemblemaria aceroi new species is described from the upwelling region of the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and Colombia. It differs from its closest relative, Acanthemblemaria rivasi Stephens, 1970, known from Panama and Costa Rica, in the posterior extent of the infraorbitals, details of head spination, and unique COI sequences. The description of Acanthemblemaria johnsonsi Almany & Baldwin, 1996, heretofore known only from Tobago, is expanded based on specimens from islands offshore of eastern Venezuela.

Shape And Size

A new species of the harpacticoid copepod genus Esola is described from specimens collected in Rodadero Beach, on Gaira Bay, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The species, E. wellsisp. nov., is described, illustrated, and com­pared with its congeners. Esola wellsisp. nov. differs from its known congeners in details of the armature of legs 1–4. It most closely resembles E. bulbifera (Norman, 1911) in the armature formula of P1–P5 but differs from the latter in several respects, including the female antennule segmentation (7-segmented in E. bulbifera but distinctly 6-segmented in E. wellsisp. nov.) and in the shape and size of the male P3ENP2 apophysis, among other characters. This is the second species of the genus known from the Caribbean and the second record of Esola in the Northwestern Tropical Atlantic. The genus now contains eight species. A key to the known species of the genus is also included.

Alpheid Shrimp

The present study deals with two species new to science, as well as several new records in the closely related alpheid shrimp genera Salmoneus Holthuis, 1955 and Deioneus Dworschak, Anker & Abed-Navandi, 2000, based on material collected at various localities in the tropical western and eastern Atlantic Ocean. In the western Atlantic, Salmoneus inconspicuus sp. nov. is described based on material from the Caribbean coast of Panama, Cuba, French Antilles and (with some doubts) Bermuda. The new species has been previously reported from the eastern Caribbean Sea as S. teres Manning & Chace, 1990, a closely related species so far known only from Ascension Island in the central Atlantic. Salmoneus camaroncito Anker, 2010 is reported from the Caribbean coast of Mexico, for the first time since its original description. Salmoneus carvachoi Anker, 2007 is reported from Colombia and southeastern USA, representing a new record of the species for each of these countries. Salmoneus depressus Anker, 2011 and Salmoneus setosus Manning & Chace, 1990 are reported for the first time from Cuba and Panama, respectively. In addition, these two species, as well as Salmoneus wehrtmanni Anker, 2010, are reported from new localities in Mexico. In the eastern Atlantic, Salmoneus saotomensis sp. nov. is described based on a single specimen from São Tomé Island in the Gulf of Guinea. The new species is characterised by the somewhat enlarged minor cheliped and is compared to all other Atlantic species presenting this feature. Deioneus sandizelli Dworschak, Anker & Abed-Navandi, 2000 is reported from São Tomé Island, for the first second time since its original description based on the Cape Verde type material. The characters separating Deioneus and Salmoneus are reassessed. The new evidence shows that these two genera are distinguished by only one morphological feature known to be variable in at least one non-related alpheid genus. However, in view of the increasing morphological heterogeneity in Salmoneus, it seems more appropriate to retain Deioneus as a valid genus for it may represent a distinct clade that also includes several other species currently placed in Salmoneus.

Janeiro State

A new species of Multumbo Roewer, 1927 (Gonyleptidae: Hernandariinae), M. dimorphicus sp. nov., is described from Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil. It presents sexual dimorphism in leg IV, contrasting remarkably with the type species of the hitherto monotypic genus Multumbo and the closest genera (Piassagera Roewer, 1928 and Pseudotrogulus Roewer, 1932), which were all thought to have lost this dimorphism. The presence of sexual dimorphism in M. dimorphicus implies a complex scenario of loss or reversal of this character. New records are given of type species of genus, Multumbo terrenus Roewer, 1913, for which a lectotype is designated. New diagnoses are provided for Hernandariinae and Multumbo. Multumbo and Piassagera are transferred from the Gonyleptinae to the Hernandariinae.Uma nova espécie de Multumbo Roewer, 1927, M. dimorphicus sp. nov., é descrita do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Ela apresenta dimorfismo sexual na perna IV, condição em notável contraste com a espécie-tipo do até então gênero monotípico Multumbo e com os gêneros mais relacionados, Piassagera Roewer, 1928 e Pseudotrogulus Roewer, 1932, nos quais esse dimorfismo era considerado como perdido. A presença de dimorfismo sexual em M. dimorphicus sugere um complexo cenário de perda ou reversão desse dimorfismo. Também foram incluídos novos registros da espécie-tipo do gênero, Multumbo terrenus Roewer, 1913, e um lectótipo é designado. Novas diagnoses para Hernandariinae and Multumbo são apresentadas. Multumbo e Piassagera são aqui transferidos de Gonyleptinae para Hernandariinae.
