Fifteen dendrochirotid holothurians, including four new species, were collected from the Seto Inland Sea and the western part of the Sea of Japan, western Japan by the training and research vessel (TR/V) TOYOSHIO MARU of Hiroshima University, during the 2014–15 surveys. Massinium toyoshiomaruae sp. nov., Thyone kyushuensis sp. nov., T. liaoi sp. nov., and T. toyoshiomaruae sp. nov. are described as new species. Massinium toyoshiomaruae sp. nov. is readily distinguishable from all congeners by the absence of bodywall ossicles and the presence of table ossicles in the tentacle base. Thyone kyushuensis sp. nov. possesses large polyporous-tables in the introvert and tentacles, bodywall ossicles of a peculiar shape, and tentacle ossicles comprised mostly of unbranching rods and/or rod-like rosettes, which differ from those of all congeners. Thyone liaoi sp. nov. resembles T. pedata Semper, 1867 in its bodywall ossicles, however, it is distinguishable by the absences of huge ossicles in the body wall and the needle-shaped ossicles in the gonadal tubules. Thyone toyoshiomaruae sp. nov. is distinguishable from all other Thyone by the presence of the peculiar shape of the bodywall ossicles. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene are provided from the type specimens of the new species as DNA barcoding data.

Three new species of pennellid copepods are described based on specimens taken from gobiid fishes. Creopelates nohmijimensis n. sp. was found on Priolepis boreus (Snyder) in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. This new species is distinguishable from its sole congener, C. floridus Shiino, 1958, by the presence of four finely digitate lobes on the cephalothorax and in having four pairs of legs occurring closely together at the anterior end of the neck. Two new species of Cardiodectes, C. asper n. sp. and C. bertrandi n. sp., were collected, from Trimma grammistes (Tomiyama) off IzuOshima Island, Japan and Eviota sp. off the Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, respectively. Cardiodectes asper n. sp. is distinguished from its 12 congeners by the absence of the abdomen, byhaving a trunk not longer than twice of its width, a cephalothorax with three pairs of lateral lobes, and a pair of neck lobes carrying leg 3 on the posterior surface of their bases. Cardiodectes bertrandi n. sp. is identifiable by the presence of two pairs of lateral cephalothoracic lobes, with smaller anterior pairs; a trunk twice as long as wide; and leg 3 located at the posterior end of the anterior neck lobe.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.
