We discovered the immature stages of Wyeomyia shannoni Lane & Cerqueira, 1942, unknown for almost 80 years, and found that they, as well as the adult male, are identical with those previously described for Sabethes (Peytonulus) paradoxus Harbach, 2002. Consequently, the species described by Lane and Cerqueira is here considered a senior synonym of Sa. paradoxus and is transferred to the genus Sabethes, hereafter named Sabethes (Peytonulus) shannoni (Lane & Cerqueira, 1942), comb. n. As the name shannoni is preoccupied in the genus Sabethes, the species known as Sabethes (Sabethes) shannoni Cerqueira, 1961 is here renamed Sabethes (Sabethes) cerqueirai Nascimento-Pereira, Neves, Lourenço-de-Oliveira & Motta, nom. n. We improved the morphological characterization of Sa. (Pey.) shannoni (Lane & Cerqueira) by including an illustration of the female genitalia, larval mouthparts and the female genital lobe of the pupa. Finally, we describe and illustrate a new species of Sabethes closely related to Sa. (Pey.) shannoni, named Sabethes (Peytonulus) harbachi Nascimento-Pereira, Guimarães, Lourenço-de-Oliveira & Motta, sp. n.

A new species of gymnostome, Urotricha vitrea n. sp., is proposed. The morphological characterization of this new freshwater ciliate is as follows: 46–27 μm × 43–26 μm in size; a spherical macronucleus; 20–23 somatic kineties; a caudal cilium; brosse with 4, 3, 2 rows of pairs of kinetosomes; and circumoral infraciliature with 13–16 pairs of kinetosomes. In addition, the conjugation process of this species is reported. It includes three maturation divisions and three synkaryon divisions.

A New Species

The genus Colaconema, containing endophytic algae associated with economically important macroalgae, is common around the world, but has rarely been reported in Taiwan. A new species, C. formosanum, was found attached to an economically important local macroalga, Sarcodia suae, in southern Taiwan. The new species was confirmed based on morphological observations and molecular analysis. Both the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI-5P) genes showed high genetic variation between our sample and related species. Anatomical observations indicated that the new species presents asexual reproduction by monospores, cylindrical cells, irregularly branched filaments, a single pyrenoid, and single parietal plastids. Our research supports the taxonomic placement of C. formosanum within the genus Colaconema. This study presents the third record of the Colaconema genus in Taiwan.

A new species of the mimetic tiger moth genus Sphecosoma, S. pattiannae Simmons sp. nov., is described and illustrated. The presumed sister species, S. tarsalis (Walker), is redescribed with illustrations of the male and female genitalia. These two species bear a novel androconial structure, which is a dorsal pouch at the base of the genitalia; this structure is described and illustrated. Phylogenetic placement of S. tarsalis and S. pattiannae within Sphecosoma Butler is discussed, with male and female genital comparisons to S. cognatum (Walker).

Additional measurements and comments are given for T. fuga Lehmann, 1979. Additional records of T. antennata from Ghana and T. fuga from South Africa and Tanzania are given. T. afra Lehmann, 1981 is tentatively transferred to the genus Corynoneurella Brundin. Male and female genital structures are discussed. A large bursa below gonapophysis VIII and the vagina is considered to be an egg-laying chamber. Keys to the known males and females of Afrotropical species of the genus Thienemanniella are given.

Eusimulium (Hellichiella) usovae n.sp. is described in the larva, pupa, and adult female and male. The larva, pupa, and male of Eusimulium rendalense Golini and pupa of Eusimulium fallisi Golini are described for the first time. These three species are closely related; the first two are distinguished by a few consistent characters in all their developmental stages. Eusimulium fallisi is distinguished in the female from the other two species; its larva and adult male are still unknown. Keys distinguishing the stages of these species are provided. The immature stages of these species occur sympatrically in sedge – Sphagnum bog – fens, in slow water with currents of 1 to 30 cm/s.
