Six hundred and ten Nicaraguan pipunculid specimens were studied. Twenty-three species and eight genera are reported and geographical distribution presented. One species, Tomosvaryella subvirescens (Loew) was previously recorded. Fifteen new distribution records and seven new species are described and illustrated: Elmohardyia nicaraguensis Rafael, Eudorylas maesi Rafael, E. platyapodemalis Rafael, E. subvexus Rafael, E. trichosubepandrialis Rafael, Dasydorylas vulcanus Rafael and Tomosvaryella crassa Ale-Rocha. Three species of Neotropical Eudorylas are transferred to the genus Dasydorylas Skevington: D. eremita (Hardy), n. comb., D. nigellus (Rafael), n. comb., and D. regalis (Curran), n. comb.

New Distribution

The geographical distribution of Muscidae from Latin America has been extended. The following eight genera, including 28 species, were collected: Cyrtoneurina (2 spp.), Cyrtoneuropsis (8 spp.), Dolichophaonia (1 sp.), Neomuscina (7 spp.), Ophyra (1 sp.), Phaonia (2 spp.), Philornis (5 spp.), and Polietina (2 spp.). New records and additional collecting data have been provided for Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica, including reference maps for the species listed.

Two new species of Opilioacaridae from Mexico are described, Neocarus chactemalensis sp. nov. and N. comalensis sp. nov., and new records for N. texanus Chamberlin & Mulaik and N. veracruzensis Vazquez & Klompen are presented. Relative positions of internal structures of the ovipositor, a highly variable character, are described based on comparisons of invaginated and evaginated ovipositors. A study of records of Opilioacaridae in Mexico shows that the group is distributed across a wide range of ecosystems and elevations, from dry, semi-desert to wet tropical forest, and coastal plains to the altiplano (>2,000m).

In this paper five new records for the Chinese flat bug fauna are reported: Aradus angularis Sahlberg 1886, Aradus betulae (Linnaeus 1758), Aradus distinctus Fieber 1860, Aradus tonkinensis Kormilev & Heiss 1976, and Aradus rysakovi Kiritshenko 1951. Aradus wuzhisanensis Liu 1981from Hainan Province is synonymised with Aradus candidatus Bergroth 1889, a species known from Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos. A new species, Aradus gaoligongensis n. sp. from Sichuan Province, belongs to the “transiens”-group and is described and figured. In addition, new distribution data are given for 8 Aradus species.

We describe and illustrate new species and provide new records of predaceous midges in the genera, Schizonyxhelea Clastrier and Stilobezzia Kieffer from Mexico (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). Two new species are described and illustrated: Schizonyxhelea zoologica n. sp., and, Stilobezzia (Acanthohelea) spinellii n. sp. Included are the first Mexican records of Schizonyxhelea forattinii Wirth & Grogan, Stilobezzia (Acanthohelea) fuscula Wirth, S. (Stilobezzia) hirta Borkent and S. (S.) pallidiventris (Malloch). New distribution records are also provided for several other species that were previously known from Mexico, and a key is provided for all species of Schizonyxhelea and Stilobezzia from Mexico.

New Diagnosis

Florida is among important marine biodiversity areas with high richness and endemism of marine taxa. Despite the economic and scientific importance of the region, knowledge on the diversity and distribution of some groups, such as calcareous sponges, is still reduced and scattered in old literature. In the present work, sponges collected in the Florida Keys were studied under an integrative perspective (traditional morphology and DNA: ITS). Three calcinean species were found: Clathrina smaragda sp. nov., C. lutea, and Ernstia rocasensis. Clathrina smaragda sp. nov. is the first Clathrina described with a green cormus. The occurrence of C. lutea in Florida was confirmed, and E. rocasensis had its geographical distribution widened from the Northeastern Brazilian waters to Florida, although Floridian individuals of this species have presented differences in morphological characters that resulted in the proposition of a new diagnosis and a discussion on morphological plasticity in Clathrinidae. A complete list of the calcareous sponges from Florida is presented and their distributional patterns are discussed.

The focus of this study is on Preussia sensu lato species with 8-celled ascospores. Two new species, P. alpina and P. octocylindrospora are introduced based on morphological characters and discussed in relation to similar species in the genus. New records are provided from Sporormiella corynespora, S. octomegaspora, P. octomera and P. octonalis. This greatly expands or reduces their geographical distribution ranges, as well as substrate preferences. In addition, a key to the coprophilous species with 8-celled ascospores is provided.

One New Species

Sida is one of most heterogeneous genera of Malvaceae and one of the richest in species inside Malvoideae. It comprises about 200 pantropical and American species with a few of these extending into the temperate regions, 112 of them occurring in Brazil. Studies on the taxonomy of Sida in this country are few. In the State of Pernambuco, the genus is represented by 24 species widely distributed in all of the four major phytogeographical zones (littoral, agreste, savannah and caatinga). It occurs in different localities and habitats, such as natural and disturbed areas or in urbanized areas. This synopsis includes a taxonomic key, new synonyms, lectotypes and new records, description of one new species (Sida pernambucensis), illustrations, and brief comments of morphology, habitat and geographical distribution.

A new species of Pickeliana Mello-Leitão, 1932, P. albimaculata sp. nov., is described from Jussari, Bahia, Brazil. It can be easily distinguished from the already described species by the presence of white spots on mesotergal area I and anal opercle. It is similar to P. pickeli Mello-Leitão, 1932 by the presence of a large, ventro-apical pointed tubercle on femora III-IV. A cladistic analysis was performed adding a new character to the available character matrix, the presence of a large and ventro-apical pointed tubercle on male femur IV. According to this analysis, P. albimaculata sp. nov. is sister species of P. pickeli. Additionally, we present an identification key and an update on the geographical distribution of species of this genus in northeastern Brazil.

Loxosceles Heineken & Lowe, 1832 spiders are infamous for their medical importance, but a taxonomic picture of the genus is still far from complete. In this study, the Chilean species of Loxosceles are described and mapped. The males of Loxosceles surca Gertsch, 1967 and L. coquimbo Gertsch, 1967 are described for the first time. Three new species with narrow distributions are described from central and northern Chile: Loxosceles diaguita sp. nov. from the Antofagasta Region, L. pallalla sp. nov. from Coquimbo and L. vallenar sp. nov. from Atacama. The first two species are remarkable in their morphology and do not fit into any of Gertsch’s species groups, suggesting that Chile still harbours an undiscovered phylogenetic diversity of the genus. New distribution records for Loxosceles laeta (Nicolet, 1849) are provided throughout Chile.
