A new species of cunaxid mite belonging to the subfamily Cunaxinae, Cunaxa minidiscondyla sp. nov., is described from the Philippines. This species is distinctive by the presence of a small disc-shaped apophysis dorsodistally on the palp telofemur, two spine-like setae on the palp genu, a long spine-like seta on the palp tibiotarsus, an ill-defined propodosomal shield, the absence of a median hysterosomal shield, long hysterosomal setae, and basifemoral and telofemoral chaetotaxy of 4-4-3-1 and 5-5-4-4, respectively. The previously unknown female of Lupaeus longisetus (Cunaxoidinae) and unknown male of Dactyloscirus trifidus (Cunaxinae) are described. A supplementary description is provided for Scutopalus clavatus (Cunaxoidinae) which is recorded for the first time in the Philippines on coconut leaves infested with the scale insect, Aspidiotus rigidus. New locality and habitat data are given for some species of the aforementioned subfamilies, as well as the subfamilies Bonzinae and Orangescirulinae.

The value of the hanging-drop technique as used by Professor Buckley for the examination of the different views of the tip of tail and head of small nematodes is stressed. The spicules of various species of Enterobius have been examined with polarized light and the significance of the basal portion of the spicules is discussed.E. vermicularis is recorded for the first time from the Chimpanzee(Anthropopithecus troglodytes), the Lar Gibbon of Malaya (Hylobates lar) and the Silky or Lion Marmoset (Leontocebus rosalia) all of which had been in the London Zoological Gardens for varying periods.The hitherto unķnown male of E. anthropopitheci is described and the female is redescribed.A new species, E. buckleyi from the Orang Utan(Pongo pygmaeus) is described.A new species, E. lerouxi from the Gorilla(Gorilla gorilla) is described. This is the first record of an Enterobius from this host.E. bipapillatus is described and recorded for the first time from the Guenon Monkey(Cercopithecus aethiops) from S. Rhodesia.A new species, E. brevicauda is described from the Chacma Baboon(Papio porcarius) from S. Rhodesia. This is the first record of an Enterobius from this host.Negative findings for Enterobius are recorded from ten postmortem examinations and fourteen NIH swab examinations of Rhesus Monkeys(Macaca mulata).A new species, E. interlabiata is described from the Feline Douroucouli(Aotus felinus) from S. America. This is the first record of an Enterobius from this host.In view of the criticism of Kreis (1932) the type and paratype material of E. atelis, E. lagothricis and E. duplicidens and some more recent collection of E. lagothricis have been re-examined and the findings of Cameron (1929) and Buckley (1981) confirmed.

New distributional records and taxonomic notes on some genera and species are also provided. Caraphractus Walker, 1846, syn. nov. is synonymized with Eustochus Haliday, 1833 and treated as its subgenus, E. (Caraphractus), stat. revid., and its type species Caraphractus cinctus Walker, 1846 is transferred to Eustochus as Eustochus (Caraphractus) cinctus (Walker, 1846), comb. nov. Eustochus (Eustochus) koponeni Triapitsyn, sp. nov. is described from Finland and Germany. Lymaenon gracilentus (Hellén, 1974), stat. restit. is resurrected as a valid species from the previous synonymy with Lymaenon aureus and redescribed. The previously unknown male of Alaptus schmitzi Soyka, 1939 is described. Polynema depressicollis Hellén, 1974, syn. nov., is synonymized with Polynema (Doriclytus) vitripenne. Anagrus (Paranagrus) optabilis is newly recorded from the Canary Islands and Madeira, and Cleruchus megatrichus is for the first time reported from France.

The genus Decidia Stål, 1875 is revised with an updated description of the genus, descriptions of all four known species, illustrations and keys are provided. The male of the type-species Decidia soranus (Westwood, 1859) is described and illustrated for the first time and a re-description of the females is given. Examination of the Colombian Peruphasma doylei (Caudell, 1906) has shown this to belong in Decidia (n. comb.); the male is re-described and the previously unknown female described and illustrated for the first time. Also Autolyca blapoides Redtenbacher, 1906 from South Ecuador has proven to belong in Decidia and is here transferred (n. comb.) with the female re-described and unknown male described and illustrated for the first time. These two species show the genus Decidia to contain not only winged but apterous species as well. A very colourful new species, Decidia magnifica n. sp. from the central Cordillera of Colombia, is described and illustrated from both sexes. The eggs of Decidia remain as yet unknown. Decidia appears to be restricted to the Andean regions of Central and Southern Colombia and Ecuador above an altitude of 2000 metres, referred to as the biogeographical province Cauca. The genus shows close relation to the Central American Autolyca Stål, 1875 and is hence re-transferred from Pseudophasmatini to the tribe Anisomorphini (rev. stat.).

The present study is based on oribatid mite materials (Acari, Oribatida) collected from Luzon, Cebu and Siargao Islands of the Philippines in 2016. A list of identified taxa, including 137 species from 88 genera and 43 families, is presented; of these, eight species (Malaconothrus macrofoveolatus, Hermanniella granulata, Eremobelba breviseta, Pulchroppia granulata, Striatoppia opuntiseta, Suctobelbella (Flagrosuctobelba) multiplumosa, Perxylobates brevisetus, Allogalumna (Globogalumna) biporosa), and one family (Licnodamaeidae) are recorded in the fauna of this country for the first time; three species (Hexachaetoniella japonica, Austrocarabodes lepidus, Porogalumnella quadriporosa) and one genus (Hexachaetoniella) are recorded in the Oriental region for the first time. A new species belonging to the genus Malaconothrus (Malaconothridae) is described from litter on top of fallen log of Luzon Island; M. pseudoadilatatus Ermilov & Corpuz-Raros sp. nov. differs from M. adilatatus Ermilov, Anichkin & Tolstikov, 2014 by the thicker and longer notogastral setae c1–c3, cp, d1, d2, e1, f2, h1, thick lamellar setae pressed to the prodorsal surface, adanal setae ad2, ad3 dilated mediobasally with attenuate tips and phylliform epimeral setae 3b, 3c.

Description of a new species Eutogenes bicornis sp. nov. includes all active stages; a male of Cheletomimus (Hemicheyletia) recki (Volgin, 1966) comb. nov. is redescribed and its remanining active stages are described for the first time; Cheyletus rashtiensis Salarzehi et al. 2018 is recorded from Russia for the first time, and its female is redescribed, and tritonymph is described for the first time; Chelacheles apanaskevichi Bochkov and Abramov, 2016, Cheletacarus raptor Volgin, 1961, Paracheyletia pyriformis (Banks, 1904), Cunliffella whartoni (Baker, 1949), and Bothrocheyla pavlovskyi (Volgin, 1964) are recorded from Western Siberia for the first time. Nomenclature of some setal structures of legs is discussed.

Marphysa Sanguinea

A new species of the Marphysa sanguinea group, M. iloiloensis n. sp. (Annelida: Eunicida: Eunicidae), is described from the Marine Annelids Hatchery of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC- AQD), Iloilo Province, Philippines. It represents the first record of this group in the Philippines. The new species is most similar morphologically to M. hongkongensa Wang, Zhang & Qiu, 2018, but can be distinguished from it by having fewer branchial filaments, a pair of faint eyes (absent in M. hongkongensa), and in slight differences in jaw morphology and chaetation. The embryos of the new species develop inside a jelly cocoon attached to the entrance of the adult burrow; this is the first time that egg-containing cocoons have been found in any species of the sanguinea-group. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) revealed that Marphysa iloiloensis n. sp. is genetically distinct from all other analysed Marphysa species and forms a sister group to M. hongkongensa. A revised identification key to members of the sanguinea-group in Southeast Asia is provided.
