Nemeritis Holmgren, 1860 is a moderately species-rich genus of Campopleginae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) which includes 42 valid species, occurring in the Western Palearctic, Eastern Palearctic, Nearctic, and Oriental regions. Herein, a new species from Chile, Nemeritis scaramozzinoi sp. nov., is described. This is the first description of a species of Nemeritis for the Southern Hemisphere. The key for the New World species of the genus and biogeographical remarks on the Chilean fauna of Darwin wasps are also provided.

A New Species

Distinctive, remarkable specimens from Bauru, São Paulo state, Brazil are recognized as a new species of the genus Laemophloeus Dejean (sensu stricto), which is described and illustrated in this paper. Laemophloeus souzalimai sp. nov. is most similar to L. germaini Grouvelle and can be readily distinguished from all New World species of the genus by the dorsal color testaceous, without elytral maculae, antennal club of 6 antennomeres, genal processes anteriorly projected, male head with somewhat pedunculated eyes, and frons with a broad, V-shaped impressed line. Additionally, the preexisting key to Laemophloeus species with antennal club of 6 or more antennomeres is modified to include the new species, and new records for five Brazilian species of the genus are provided.

The Miltogramminae of the Neotropical Region are low in species diversity, with no endemic genera (Pape 1996). However, the actual number of Neotropical species in this subfamily is expected to be higher according to the few comprehensive taxonomic revisions (e.g., Pape 1987a, 1989).

Herina caribbeana Kameneva, sp. n. from Dominica is described and figured. It is related to the narytia group of species, to date represented by 4 North American species, but differs from these by the wing pattern (dark spots at apex of R1 and on the crossbands r-m and dm-cu separated, not forming crossband), as well as male genitalia (prensisetae long and close together). This is the first record of the genus Herina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 from the Neotropical Region. A key to the New World species is provided.

A New Species

A new species, Nothochrysaehrenbergisp. nov., is described from Chile; it is the first species of Nothochrysa to be reported from the Southern Hemisphere and only the second from the New World. The genus now contains six extant species as well as two species known from late Oligocene and Miocene fossils. An updated catalog of the valid Nothochrysa species is presented, and three nomina dubia are discussed. The inclusion of the new species in Nothochrysa is well supported by morphological features. However, it and other species currently in the genus also share significant features with Archaeochrysa, an older genus of Nothochrysinae which is known only from the Eocene (Ypresian) to the late Oligocene. It therefore appears that N.ehrenbergi is among the least derived Nothochrysa species, and that the separation of Archaeochrysa from Nothochrysa is open to question and further examination.

A New Species

A new, extremely cryptic dendronotoid nudibranch from southern Spain is described. Lomanotus barlettai sp.nov. is intertidal and has been found under stones together with the thecate hydroids Kirchenpaueria pinnata and Ventromma halecioides. The body is elongate with a maximum of 36 cerata on each side. These are located on three pairs of notal ridges. Each ceras shows one or two characteristic constrictions. The veil bears two pointed processes on either side and there is a cephalic ridge. The body is brown with dense gold–brown pigmented superficial dots. The radular formula is 23 × 17.0.17 (7.5-mm specimen) and the innermost tooth of each half-row is denticulate. The other teeth exhibit more marked denticulation. Extensions of the digestive gland penetrate the cerata. The ampulla is surrounded by the hermaphroditic gland and there is only a curved seminal receptacle and a well-separated prostate. A comparison between L. barlettai and the other known species of the genus is presented. The validity of these species is discussed, together with the suggestion that five valid species can be distinguished: L. genei, L. marmoratus, L. vermiformis, L. phiops, and L. barlettai. The characteristics of these species are tabulated.

Wesmaelius (Kimminsia) nanacamilpa Marquez & Contreras, sp. n., a brown lacewing from Tlaxcala state, Mexico is described and illustrated. This is the second recorded species of Wesmaelius from Mexico, and the third from Middle America. Males of the new species may be identified by parameres separate apically, styliform sclerites directed basally, as well as a rounded gonarcus with a short entoprocessus. Females may be distinguished from closely related species by a subgenital plate with the central plate broadly incised basally. There are now 16 species of Wesmaelius known from the New World.

Abstract. Stylogaster Macquart, 1835 has been unknown in the fossil record until now, the only fossil conopid genus being Palaeomyopa Meulnier, 1912. Two Stylogaster specimens in amber from the American Museum of Natural History collection were studied and are described here. Both specimens, male and female, belong to a new species, S. grimaldii sp. nov., that is probably basal to at least the New World species with a short ocellar triangle. Photos and drawings of the new species are provided. The relationship with other Stylogaster species and ancient distributional patterns are briefly discussed.
