The genus Thyonella currently comprises four species which occur in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Thyonella mexicana is the only species known to occur in the Pacific Ocean. The main morphological characters used to distinguish Thyonella species are their dermal ossicles. Since the differences among these characters are subtle, this contribution provides a detailed description and comparison of the ossicle assemblage of the concerned taxa. In addition, description of the internal morphology of three of the concerned species is also provided. Further, this study reports on the first record of Thyonella sabanillaensis for the Southwestern Atlantic. A worldwide revision of the distributional records of Thyonella species is presented and their taxonomy is discussed, concluding that some traditional taxonomic characters should be used cautiously. A brief discussion about the importance of SEM analysis is also provided.

Davainea madagascariensis is a rather rare human parasite, there being less than a dozen cases on record. It was originally described from children in the Comoro Islands by Davaine in 1869 under the name Taenia madagascariensis and has since been recorded from a wider area stretching from Madagascar and the neighbouring islands through Siam to the Philippine Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Recently some cestode segments were sent to Dr. R. T. Leiper, C.M.G., F.R.S. They had been passed in the stool of a human patient in S.E. Africa. They have now been identified as gravid segments of Davainea madagascariensis and this would seem to be the first record of the species from the mainland of Africa.

Situated almost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands are not only one of the most isolated places in the world (Juvic and Juvic, 1998), but also one of one of the most isolated places in the world (Juvic and Juvic, 1998), but also one of the best known. Hawaii's acclaimed natural attractions stem from its volcanic origins - tall mountains deeply eroded by tropical rains and waterfalls into rugged gorges and valleys, a spectacular backdrop for world-class beaches, dramatic volcanic landscapes and forests. The state consists of six main islands: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai and Hawaii Island, also known as the Big Island. Two lesser known islands, Niihau and Kahoolawe, are not open to conventional tourism. Tens of smaller, much older islands, northwest of the main island chain, are protected by-and-large within the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
