The ectomycorrhizal, gasteroid fungus, Scleroderma polyrhizum is recorded from Brazil for the first time, growing under Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (Caryocaraceae) a widespread native tree of the Brazilian "cerrado" vegetation. Macro and microscopic features were described using basidiocarps from fresh and dried material treated according to the traditional methodology for Gasteromycetes. The characteristics of the material were close to those of the original description given by Persoon. All material collected was associated with roots of C brasiliense.

Embolemidae is a small family of chrysidoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) understudied in Ukraine. The cosmopolitan genus Embolemus is shown comprising only 32 extant and 2 fossil species in the world fauna: the actual check-list for the genus is given. Only two species had been previously registered in Ukraine. Embolemus ruddii was recorded at Western Ukraine and Crimea, and E. tauricus was described from Crimea based on a single specimen collected at 1910. In present contribution E. tauricus is recorded for continental Ukraine for the first time from the Zaporizhia Region. The specimen collected almost fully correspond to the original description of the species, differing only in the small features of coloration. The habitat of E. tauricus is briefly described.

New Pest

The pineapple tarsonemid mite Steneotarsonemus ananas (Tryon), 1898 is associated with pineapple around the world, including Costa Rica. Here, we report its association with Neoregelia sp. (Bromeliaceae) for the first time. These mites damaged the plantlets considerably, affecting the esthetic quality of the product and thus causing economic losses to the local growers. This discovery prompted us to redescribe the adult females and males from the type host and locality (pineapple in Queensland, Australia) and compare it with the original description, subsequent descriptions, and material collected from the USA, Costa Rica, and Colombia on pineapple, Neoregelia, and an unidentified bromeliad. Further specimens from pineapple in Guatemala were identified as the same species and represent the first record for this country. We concur with previous observations that the original description by Tryon is not the same species in subsequent descriptions. We tentatively consider all specimens examined the same as those described as S. ananas in succeeding descriptions, i.e., Steneotarsonemus ananas Tryon sensu Beer.

The genus Oxyina make up a total of three known species and a new species. In the present study an extensive survey was carried out from August, 2018 to September, 2020. The collected specimens comprehend all the three species viz., Oxyina bidentata, Oxyina sinobidentata, Oxyina javana and a new species: Oxyina kashmira n. sp. is illustrated. Oxyina javana is rediscovered, as this species has never been reported since its original description. On account of this, genus Oxyina now includes four species. Moreover the genus Oxyina is being reported first time from India. Principally based on genitalic characters, a brief diagnosis and a key to the species is provided.

The nematode Philometra katsuwoni Petter & Baudin-Laurencin, 1986, a gonad-infecting parasite of Katsuwonus pelamis (Linneaus 1758), originally described from the Gulf of Guinea, is reported for the first time from the coastal zone of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. As compared with the original description, the males of the Brazilian material are generally somewhat larger and their right spicule and the gubernaculum are longer. The subgravid female is described for the first time. It is characterized by the anterior inflation of the esophagus and by the presence of two distinct caudal lobes.

Abstract In this research, we report the presence of two ciliate protozoans of the subclass Peritrichia, Cothurnia amphicteis and C. peloscolicis, as epibionts on the chaetae of scaled polychaetes Malmgrenia lilianae, M. andreapolis (fam. Polynoidae) and Sthenelais boa (fam. Sigalionidae), from the north Adriatic (Mediterranean Sea). Both ciliate species are herein found for the first time after their original description and are redescribed, based on light and scanning electron microscopy analyses. This is the first record of an association between ciliates and polychaetes of the family Sigalionidae. Our results suggest that these host–epibiont relationships might be highly specific. We also present the first review of epibiosis between polychaetes and peritrich ciliates, indicating that this relationship is more diverse than previously thought. Forty taxa of peritrich ciliates from 12 genera and seven families are recorded as epibionts on polychaetes, while 48 polychaete taxa are known as their hosts. The relationship can be considered ectocommensalism, where the ciliates have the advantages of increased food availability. This association might be a more widespread phenomenon than currently known, because it could be easily overlooked or misinterpreted. It, therefore, deserves careful attention and further investigation.

Two new species of Gieysztoria are described, along with the first record of two species of this genus in Argentina. Gieysztoria atalaya n. sp. has a sclerotic stylet with a window on one of its sides and a belt bearing three types of spines. One hollow spine, originated under the window, is basally broad and tapers towards its blunt distal end. This spine separates the other two groups of spines, one of approximately ten thick spines situated on the edge of the belt, and the other arranged in several rows. The proximal row bears approximately 10 triangular spines, broad at the base and rapidly tapering. Gieysztoria matilde n. sp. has a sclerotic stylet with a belt formed by a fibrous framework and a circular window. A central projection arising under this window bears a large blade-shaped hollow spine. This spine separates two major groups of thin spines, one formed by several parallel rows of hollow, acicular, very thin spines, the other comprising hollow and slightly thicker spines with broader base, arranged in several irregular rows. Gieysztoria evelinae (Marcus 1946) Luther 1955, Gieysztoria hymanae (Marcus 1946) Luther 1955 and Gieysztoria falx Brusa, Damborenea and Noreña 2003 are reported for the second time after their original description. Nygulus evelinae Marcus 1954 is cited for the first time for Argentina; until now, this species was known only for the estuary of Itanhaen River in Bahia de Santos, Brazil.

The genus Discotylenchus is reported for the first time from Iran. Discotylenchus iranicus n. sp. is described and illustratedbased on morphological and morphometric characters. The new species is characterized by a combination of the followingmorphological features: lip region continuous and smooth, tapering to an offset prominent labial disc, lateral field withfour incisures, stylet length of 14–15μm, vulva position at 70.8–76.5 %, tail length of 81–100μm, conoid with a roundedtip and presence of males. The Iranian population of D. brevicaudatus shows a wider morphometric range compared tothe original description and the male of this species is described for the first time. The morphological characters and range of morphometric data of D. discretus are in full agreement with the original population.

The jatoba, Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart. Ex Hayne (Fabaceae), is a tree species native to the Brazilian Cerrado and is recommended for recovering degraded areas. The fruit of this species is used for food and traditional medicine purposes, and its propagation occurs occurs through seeds. This study aimed to record, for the first time in Brazil, the occurrence of an insect pest on jatoba fruits. We sampled 58 H. stigonocarpa fruits from September to October 2017, on a typical Brazilian Savanna area in the municipality of Monte Carmelo, Minas Gerais (18°50′26″ S and 47°19′04″ W). The emergence of nine adults belonging to the Ectomyelois muriscis (Dyar, 1914) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) species was recorded on four jatoba fruits (6.9%). The insect only occurred on injuried fruits. The larva was fed from the pulp of the fruit until reaching the pupa stage, but not consuming the seeds. This is the first record of E. muriscis on jatoba fruits in Brazil.
