Seven tarsonemid species were found in leaf samples from the "Cerrado" vegetation in the State of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil. Mensuration data of four species, Daidalotarsonemus tesselatus De Leon, Tarsonemus bilobatus Suski, Tarsonemus confusus Ewing and T. waitei Banks are provided. Three new species, Daidalotarsonemus folisetae Lofego & Ochoa, Metatarsonemus megasolenidii Lofego & Ochoa and Tarsonemus longisetae Lofego & Ochoa are described. Food habits of D. tesselatus are discussed.

Three New Species

A consultation of the original descriptions of the genera of Scissurellidae led the author to conclude that the valid names for the genera of this family are: Scissurella d'Orbigny, 1823 (redescription by Sowerby, 1824), Anatoma Woodward, 1859, Inoisura Hedley, 1904, Scissurona Iredale, 1924, Sinezona Finlay, 1927. Scissurella and Anatoma are cosmopolites, the first generally living in shallow waters, associated to sea-weeds, while the second is found in deep waters. The three last genera are restricted to Australasia. Three new species are described from the Brazilian coast: Soissu rella alexandrei, Scissurella eleotilis and Scissurella morretesi. The internal anatomy of S. alexandrei is described. These three new species have been found in littoral shallow waters, the two first on the northeast Brazilian coast, the third on the coast of the State of São Paulo. The fourth known species of Scissurellidae from Brazil, Anatoma aedonia (Watson, 1886), was dredged by H.M.S, "Challenger", in 1873, off Pernambuco, 350 fm (640 m).

Three new species of eriophyid mites are described from the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Abacarus nectandrae n. sp. and Aceria megalops n. sp. were found on Nectandra membranacea (Sw.) Griseb (Lauraceae) and Guapira opposita (Vell.) Reitz (Nyctaginaceae), respectively, both native trees of the Atlantic Forest. Aceria korykis n. sp. was found on the ornamental Acalypha reptans Sn. (Euphorbiaceae), introduced from India and commonly cultivated in Brazil.

Two new species of terebellid polychaetes are described, from material collected from the intertidal zone to 45 m deep off the State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The thelepodine Pseudostreblosoma brevitentaculatum sp. nov., is characterised by short, distally expanded tentacles, the presence of a mid-ventral lobe on segment 1 and short lateral lobes on segments 2–4, and by the arrangement of branchial filaments. The species is compared to both other known species of the genus. The terebelline Phisidia rubra sp. nov. differs from its congeners by its smaller size, and by having up to four eyespots at each lateral margin of prostomium, close to the mouth, about 5 rows of secondary teeth above uncinial main fang, uncini arranged in double rows on segments 11–20, 14 pairs of notopodia and by anterior segments being dorsally inflated. Phisidia rubra sp. nov. is compared to its closest congeners and a table comparing all known species of Phisidia is provided.

Forest Habitats

Despite the great extension of the Cerrado and its importance for biodiversity conservation, there are still sampling gaps in this region that has shown conspicuous changes over the years due to the conversion of natural areas into pastures and plantations. Around 88.5% of the Cerrado areas in the State of the São Paulo were cleared in the last four decades and less than 0.81% of the original Cerrado vegetation remains as pristine habitats, although these areas once covered 14% of the state. We present the list of snakes that occur in the Estação Ecológica de Santa Bárbara, a remnant of Cerrado in the State of São Paulo, in addition to information on the abundance and distribution of species in the various habitats found at this location. The survey was conducted between October 2008 and March 2009 during six monthly field trips of five days each, totaling 30 sampling days. Surveys were conducted using incidental encounters (IE) and pitfall traps (PT). We recorded a total of 21 species belonging to 15 genera and six families. All species and individuals captured (18 species; 49 individuals) were found in open Cerrado formations. No individual was observed in the sampled forest habitats (cerradão and dry forest). Forested habitats occupy a relatively small portion of this protected area (12.6%). However, the higher species richness in open habitats may not be a result of limited local coverage of forests. The higher richness in interfluvial open habitats has also been recorded in other Cerrado areas. This survey is an important contribution towards enhancing our knowledge about the snake assemblage in the highly threatened Cerrado of São Paulo State. Hence, these last protected remnants in the state that still house significant areas of open Cerrado formations, such as the Estação Ecológica de Santa Bárbara, although reduced, are extremely important for the conservation of reptiles in the State of São Paulo, in Southeastern Brazil, and in the Cerrado region.

Three New Species

Three species of Saturniidae (Hemileucinae), all belonging to Periga Walker, 1855, are recognized as new and are described as: P. paranapiacaba sp. nov., P. faustinoi sp. nov., and P. intervales sp. nov. The Periga gueneei species-group is proposed to accommodate P. gueneei (Lemaire, 1973) and the new species P. intervales sp. n. described here. The status of another Saturniidae species is revised: Automeris intermedius (Bouvier, 1929), stat. rev., which is removed from the synonymy with A. nubila Walker, 1855. Habitus and illustrations of male genitalia are provided for all new species and both Automeris species. All holotypes are deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Seed Eating

Agromyzids are well documented on plants of economic importance, especially those species whose larvae leave external marks on the plant, such as mines. They are far less known for non-commercial plants, particularly in tropical countries. In North American compilations of agromyzids, most of the species associated with Asteraceae flower heads belong in the genus Melanagromyza Hendel. Here we record five new seed-eating Melanagromyza species from the Brazilian Cerrado in the state of São Paulo: M. falciformis sp. nov., M. lanciformis sp. nov., M. longomembranacea sp. nov., M. multivora sp. nov. and M. vernonieaevora sp. nov.
