Two species of Didymozoidae originally described from Pacific Ocean, Wedlia retrorbitalis and Wedlia submaxillaris are reported for the first time in South America, Atlantic Ocean. W. retrorbitalis was found encysted in retrorbital adipose tissue and W. submaxillaris in the maxillary region of Thunnus obesus caught along the Rio de Janeiro coastline, extending their current geographical distribution. Original measurements and figures are presented.

Cavernicola pilosa Barber, 1937 is a wild triatomine species that generally lives in caves but has been found invading dwellings. It feeds mostly on bat blood. This vector has a wide geographical distribution throughout Central and South America, including Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, French Guiana, Panamá, Peru, and Venezuela. In Brazil, C. pilosa occurs in the states of Bahia, Pará, Tocantins, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Maranhão. We report for the first time its presence in Amazonas state, Brazil.

Abstract A description is provided for Stictographa lentiginosa (Melaspilea lentiginosa), which is parasitic on thalli of the bark-inhabiting lichen Phaeographis dendritica, not causing significant necrosis of the host tissues but at least partially suppressing production of ascomata. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Newfoundland and Labrador)), South America (Brazil (Mato Grosso)), Asia (India (Himachal Pradesh)), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Madeira)), Europe (Denmark, France, Ireland, Portugal, UK), Pacific Ocean (USA (Hawaii))).

Eleven known species of Monogenoidea were found parasitizing six different species of scombrid fishes collected from Rio de Janeiro coast, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean: Capsala biparasitica, Capsala katsuwoni, Capsala notosinense, Nasicola brasiliensis, Nasicola klawei, Allopseudaxinoides euthynni, Sibitrema poonui, Hexostoma albsmithi, Hexostoma euthynni, Hexostoma keokeo and Hexostoma sibi. Katsuwonus pelamis is reported as a new host to A. euthynni and Thunnus obesus to H. albsmithi. Capsala notosinense, A. euthynni, H. albsmithi and H. sibi are referred for the first time in Brazil, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Morphological and morphometric features are presented for each species.

The Palearctic wool carder bee Anthidium manicatum (Linnaeus) is recorded for the first time in Chile based on eight specimens collected on Lavandula sp. (Lamiaceae) in San Bernardo, Metropolitan Region.  This new record expands the invasive range of this species in South America, confirming previous predictions based on an ecological niche model.

Rhipidocotyle pentagonum (Ozaki, 1924) is reported for the first time in South America parasitizing Auxis thazard and in a new host Katsuwonus pelamis. Tergestia laticollis (Rudolphi, 1819) is reported for the first time in South America and in Thunnus albacares, representing a new host record. Copiatestes filiferus (Leuckart, in Sars, 1885) is recorded for the first time in Brazil and in Thunnus albacares, another new host record. Tetrochetus coryphaenae (Yamaguti, 1934) is presented for the first time in Brazil parasitizing Thunnus albacares.

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.
