Three new species of Entomobrya Rondani, 1861 from China are described: E. leviseta sp. nov. and E. polychaeta sp. nov. from Shaanxi Province and E. dingi sp. nov. from Yunnan Province. This is the first report of Entomobrya from Shaanxi Province. Entomobrya leviseta sp. nov. is characterised by prelabral smooth chaetae on the labrum; E. polychaeta sp. nov. by three pairs of longitudinal dark blue stripes from Th. II to Abd. III and eight lateral mac on Abd. III; and E. dingi sp. nov. by only a little pigment on the body and 5 central mac on And. II & III. A key to all Chinese species of Entomobrya is given.

Investigations on microfungi on Pandanus odorifer (Pandanaceae) from southern Thailand resulted in the discovery of three new species of Hermatomyces (Lophiotremataceae). Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, ITS, SSU, RPB2 and TEF1 sequence data showed that our new taxa cluster with Hermatomyces species and were well separated from Aquasubmersa and Lophiotrema species in Lophiotremataceae. We introduce the new species, Hermatomyces krabiensis, H. pandanicola and H. saikhuensis, with illustrated accounts. Evidence for demarcation of the three new species is provided using morphology and phylogenetic analyses. This is the first report of Hermatomyces on Pandanus species.

A new fossil stonefly genus of the subfamily Acroneuriinae Klapálek, 1914 (Plecoptera: Perlidae), Largusoperla gen. nov. is reported based on three well-preserved specimens in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar. Three new species of this new genus, L. acus sp. nov, L. flata sp. nov and L. arcus sp. nov. are described and illustrated. This is the first report of stonefly specimens from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The taxonomic placement of the new genus is discussed.

Abstract—Three remarkable new species of Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae) from Madagascar are described and illustrated. Acalypha isaloensis, found in the Isalo Massif of southwestern Ihorombe region, is morphologically similar to A. gracilipes, but differs by its habit, indument, presence of domatia, and inflorescence sexuality. This is the first report of pocket-shaped domatia in the genus. Acalypha rabesahalana and A. tremula, found in Diana and Sava regions in the far north of Madagascar, superficially resemble A. menavody, but they do not strongly resemble any other species known from Madagascar nor from mainland Africa. Preliminary conservation assessments of the three new species are provided, and all are considered endangered or critically endangered, despite occurring in legally protected areas.

Three new species of the Barleedidae are described from Brazilian waters. Caelatura tigrina n.sp. from Davis Seamount (20°39’ S / 034°43’ W) is diagnosed by 5 narrow well-spaced spiral cordlets in each whorl and its golden-brown color with white axial flames. Caelatura especulabunda n.sp from Dogaressa Seamount (20°51’ S / 033°45’ W) is diagnosed by its shell oval-pupoid with slightly convex whorls and 9-10 close, thick, spiral cordlets. Protobarleeia pyrrocincta n.sp. from Abrolhos Bank (about 19° S, 38° W), the first report of the genus from South Western Atlantic, is diagnosed by its reddish belts.

Abstract The fauna of bristletails of the genus Lepismachilis Verhoeff, 1910 in Montenegro and Serbia includes only one species L. (Berlesilis) targionii (Grassi, 1887) with 2 + 2 eversible vesicles on abdominal urocoxites II–VI. Three new species of this genus are described: L. (Lepismachilis) prijepolja sp. nov., L. (Lepismachilis) limensa sp. nov. from Serbia, and L. (Lepismachilis) alexandrae sp. nov. from Montenegro. All described new species belong to the species group of the subgenus Lepismachilis s. str. with 2 + 2 eversible vesicles on abdominal urocoxites II–V. Lepismachilis prijepolja sp. nov. differs from L. y-signata Kratochvíl, 1945 and L. notata Stach, 1919 by the color, drawings and ratios of the compound eyes; ratios of sensory field on fore femur of male, number of divisions of ovipositor. Lepismachilis limensa sp. nov. differs from L. hauseri Bitsch, 1974 and L. abchasica Kaplin, 2017 by ratios of paired ocelli, sensory field on fore femur of male; ratios and chaetotaxy of maxillary and labial palps. Lepismachilis alexandrae sp. nov. differs from L. abchasica by the drawings of the compound eyes; ratios of paired ocelli, sensory field on fore femur of male; number of divisions of the parameres and gonapophyses. A list of the Machilidae occurring in Balkan Peninsula is also provided.

Some 2,000 Ptiliidae collected in the North and South Islands of New Zealand in 1983/1984 by Peter Hammond of the Natural History Museum, London, are determined to 34 species, four of which are new to the country. As there are very few previous records, most from the Auckland district of North Island, the Hammond collection provides much new distributional data. The three new species: Nellosana insperatus sp. n., Notoptenidium flavum sp. n., and Notoptenidium johnsoni sp. n., are described and figured; the genus Ptiliodes is moved from Acrotrichinae to Ptiliinae, and Ptenidium formicetorum Kraatz recorded as a new introduction. Information is provided to aid separation of the new species from those previously recorded.
