Three new species of Megarthrus Curtis from mainland China belonging to the M. calcaratus species complex are described: M. bajie Liu & Cuccodoro sp. nov., M. wujing Liu & Cuccodoro sp. nov., and M. wukong Liu & Cuccodoro sp. nov.. Also pertaining to this lineage of Megarthus, the East Palaearctic M. zerchei Cuccodoro & Löbl is reported here to occur in China (new country record). These four species are diagnosed, illustrated, and keyed. Their distribution in mainland China is mapped, and their affinities are briefly discussed.

Three New Species

New Zealand has a diverse skink fauna, comprising 45 described native species, and at least 15 undescribed taxa, within the single genus Oligosoma Girard, 1857. One of the earliest described, and best known, species is the speckled skink, Oligosoma infrapunctatum (Boulenger 1887). Despite a relatively stable taxonomic history for nearly 114 years, recent molecular work has indicated that O. infrapunctatum represents a species complex, comprising numerous genetically divergent, range restricted taxa. We completed the first stage of a taxonomic revision of O. infrapunctatum, conducting a morphological re-evaluation of existing voucher material, and newly collected specimens, and generated a molecular phylogeny for the species complex. This allowed us to distinguish six species: O. infrapunctatum, two species resurrected from synonymy (O. newmani, O. robinsoni), and three new species (O. salmo sp. nov., O. albornense sp. nov. O. auroraensis sp. nov.). The name bearing type population of O. infrapunctatum has not been located again for at least 130 years: it remains to be rediscovered and may already be extinct. Two of the six species here are considered ‘Nationally Critical’ (O. albornense sp. nov., O. salmo sp. nov.) under the New Zealand Threat Classification System, the others are Nationally Vulnerable (O. auroraensis sp. nov.) and At Risk—Relict (O. newmani, O. robinsoni). Further taxonomic work will be required to determine the taxonomy of other speckled skink genetic lineages in the South Island, particularly O. aff. infrapunctatum “cobble”, O. “Hokitika”, O. “Southern North Island” and O. “Westport”.

Three New Species

The caddis-flies of south-western Australia, the western section of Bassian province, have been examined; 48 species in nine families are recorded, descriptions of 24 new species are given and one species is synonymized; 79% of the species appear to be endemic. Only three families of the superfamily Limnephiloidea are recorded compared with 16 in the eastern section of the Bassian province. The Ecnomus continentalis species complex is briefly discussed, the lectotype male of Ecnomus continentalis is designated, figured and redefined; three new species, including one from eastern Australia, are described.

Snapping Shrimps

Sixteen species of sponge-dwelling snapping shrimp in the genus Synalpheus (gambarelloides group) were collected from sites spanning the south coast of Curaçao, including three new to science. Synalpheus hoetjesi sp. nov. belongs to a species complex that includes Synalpheus pandionis, S. dardeaui, S. yano, S. goodei, S. longicarpus, and S. ul. Synalpheus kuadramanus sp. nov. is a distinctive shrimp characterized by a short, square moveable finger on the major first pereopod and by brilliant turquoise embryos in females. Synalpheus orapilosus sp. nov. is a shrimp most morphologically similar to Synalpheus barahonensis—both species share the distinctive character of a tuft of setae on the distal end of the third maxilliped, instead of a distal circlet of spines—but can be distinguished from the latter by the number of carpal segments on the second pereopod. Although eusocial Synalpheus species (defined here as species that live in large colonies with strong reproductive skew) are often the most numerically abundant Synalpheus collected from sponges at other sites, only pair-bonding Synalpheus species were recorded from our collections in Curaçao.
