The genus Proceratium Roger comprises rare ants that are irregularly distributed in tropical and temperate regions of the world. Despite this global distribution, these ants are rarely collected, likely due to their cryptobiotic lifestyle. In the New World, the genus comprises 22 known species distributed from Southern Canada to the South of Brazil, and in some Caribbean islands. The taxonomy of the genus Proceratium is here updated for South America. We describe P. amazonicum sp. nov, from Rondônia state and provide distribution data for P. brasiliense, P. convexipes, and P. silaceum. We also present, for the first time, high-resolution images of the P. colombicum type and P. ecuadoriense, and provide a new record of P. micrommatum from Peru, and comment about its morphological variation and distribution. A key for the workers of the P. micrommatum clade is also provided. The species we describe belongs to P. micrommatum clade and represents the second species recorded from Brazil after 60 years, since only P. brasiliense was known previously in the country.

Strumigenys fairchildi Brown, 1961 is recorded for the first time in Brazil. This ant species was previously known only from a few specimens collected in Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador. The worker S. fairchildi was collected at the Parque Estadual do Cristalino, a continuous area of Amazon tropical rain forest protected for biodiversity conservation in the municipality of Novo Mundo, Mato Grosso state. In addition, we present a distribution map and high-resolution images of the worker.

Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) is an Asian freshwater clam that is widely distributed throughout the world through multiple introductions. Its invasion can cause environmental and economic damage. In Brazil, C. fluminea is recorded in all major hydrographic basins. Here, we report the first record of C. fluminea in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region of Goiás, Brazil. This new record extends the known distribution of this species to a conserved area in the Cerrado biome, towards areas of interest for conservation and integral protection units of the biodiversity.

We provide the new record of Setodiscophrya steinii (Claparède and Lachmann, 1859) as an ectosymbiont of Ochthebius sp., in the province of Basilicata, Italy which represents the first record of the genus Setodiscophrya for Italy and the first worldwide record of S. steinii being associated to the coleopteran family Hydraenidae (Ochthebius sp.). The range distribution of S. steinii is expanded 900 km southwards.

AbstractThe nematode Schulmanela petruschewskii (Shulman, 1948) was identified during the parasitological examination on the liver parenchyma in one specimens of a cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) which reared in Derbent Dam Lake in Samsun, Turkey (41°25′6′’ North latitude, 35°49′52′’ East longitude) in August 2008. This parasite species was not previously reported from Turkey. With the present study we report S. petruschewskii for the first time in Turkey. This specimen which is a parasite of cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a new record for the Turkish parasite fauna. Original measurements and figures are presented.

Together with a new record of Diaziella macroptera Grandi from Thailand this is the first time the genus has been recorded from the Asian mainland. Previously the twelve described species of Diaziella were known from the islands of Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines. Images are provided for both sexes of the two new species and for the female of D. macroptera. A key is included to all described species of Diaziella. An online key is available at: http://www.figweb.org/Fig_wasps/Pteromalidae/Sycoecinae/Key/ Diaziella.htm. Host relationships and biology are discussed.

Resumo. O cultivo da mandioca tem importância socioeconômica e de subsistência na região Norte do Brasil, sendo uma prática adotada principalmente em pequenas propriedades, por comunidades tradicionais, agricultores familiares e indígenas. Foi verificada a presença de colônias de percevejos-de-renda em plantios de mandioca localizados na terra indígena Kaxinawá de Nova Olinda, Feijó, estado do Acre. Os insetos foram capturados diretamente nas plantas, sendo identificadas as espécies Vatiga manihotae (Drake), Vatiga illudens (Drake) e Gargaphia opima Drake. Configuram-se os primeiros registros de V. manihotae, V. illudens e G. opima no estado do Acre, sendo esta última, o primeiro registro para o Brasil.Lace bugs (Hemiptera: Tingidae) associated with cassava cultivation in Nova Olinda’s Kaxinawá indigenous land, in Acre state, with new record for BrazilAbstract. Cassava cultivation has socioeconomic and subsistence importance in the northern region of Brazil, being a practice mainly adopted in small farms, by traditional communities, family farmers and indigenous people. It was verified the presence of colonies of lace bugs in cassava cultivation located in Nova Olinda’s Kaxinawá indigenous land, municipality of Feijó, Acre state, Brazil. The insects were captured directly in the plants, being identified the species Vatiga manihotae (Drake), Vatiga illudens (Drake) and Gargaphia opima Drake. Therefore, the occurrence of V. manihotae, V. illudens and G. opima in Acre state is recorded for the first time. In addition, G. opima is the first record for Brazil.
