Two new, remarkable species of schizomids are described in the present paper, both from eastern Cuba. One of them is the second known member of Troglocubazomus Teruel, 2003, which allows the redefinition of the generic diagnosis and expands the known range of this genus more than 200 km to the west, but still in the same orographic system (the Sierra Maestra Mountains). The other represents the ninth Cuban member of Antillostenochrus Armas & Teruel, 2002, but the first to be found living here in a desertic habitat (only one Hispaniolan species was previously known to live under the same aridity conditions). As results, the schizomid fauna of Cuba reaches 59 species (58 national endemics), with 39 of them occurring in its eastern region (35 regional endemics).

We report on the schizorhynch species collected in a survey in the eastern region of Cuba. Eighteen species were identified, of which only three are known to science: Cheliplana asica, C. terminalis, and Carcharodorhynchus flavidus. The 15 new species belong to three different genera: Cheliplana (five species), Carcharodorhynchus (four species), and Schizochilus (six species). The five new species of Cheliplana (C. gibarenha sp. n., C. santiaguera sp. n., C. spuriaseminalis sp. n., C. subproximalis sp. n. and C. verrucosa sp. n.) differ from their congeners in the detailed morphology of the proboscis hooks and the atrial organs. The proboscis hooks bear a distal small hook in C. verrucosa sp. n., a feature only shared with C. paradoxa. Two of the four new species of Carcharodorhynchus (C. smilodon sp. n. and C. papillaris sp. n. ) are very similar to C. flavidus in that the toothed belts of the proboscis are not continuous. However, they clearly differ from that species and from each other in the detailed construction of the teeth and copulatory organ. Carcharodorhynchus spiniformis sp. n. and C. nativus sp. n. can also be distinguished from the other species of Carcharodorhynchus by the detailed construction of the proboscis teeth and copulatory organ. The six new species of Schizochilus here described show a spiny cirrus around a central stylet. Two species lack the distal sclerotized cap of the copulatory bulb: S. favus sp. n. and S. bueycabonensis sp. n.. All new species of Schizochilus can be distinguished from each other and their congeners by the detailed construction of the hard parts (cirrus and stylet) of the copulatory organ.

AbstractSpecies of the oribatid mite genus Tegeocranellus from North and Central America are discussed, and immatures are described for the first time. Six new species are described and keyed: Tegeocranellus alas from Costa Rica, T. barbarae from Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, T. kethleyi from Alabama and Mississippi, T. mississippii from Louisiana and Texas, T. muscorum known from Ontario to Florida, and T. mediolamellatus from Guatemala. Descriptions of T. alas, T. barbarae, T. mediolamellatus, and T. muscorum are based on adults and immatures, and those of the other two species on adults only. I expand the generic diagnosis to include information on the apheredermous, plicate immatures, and present a character analysis hypothesizing that the monogeneric family Tegeocranellidae is a member of the Ameronothroidea, closely related to Selenoribatidae and Fortuyniidae.

My last general paper on Florida Coleoptera was prepared in the autumn of 1924, and appeared in the Canadian Entomologist for July, 1925. Since that was written my time has been largely devoted to the final preparation and publication of the “Heteroptera of Eastern North America.” During the three years which have elapsed I have spent the winters at Dunedin on the west coast of Florida, but have made three additional collecting trips, of three or four weeks each, to Royal Palm Park. One of these was in December, the other two in March and April. This park comprises an area of 4,000 acres lying in extreme southern Florida, about 40 miles northeast of Cape Sable.

Males And Females

A new stygobiotic atyid shrimp from the genus Xiphocaridinella Sadowsky, 1930 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Atyidae) is described based on morphology and DNA analysis from an underground lake inside the Motena Cave (Martvili Municipality, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Western Georgia, Caucasus). The new species is genetically well isolated from the West Georgian relatives and clearly differs from the other Caucasian congeners by specific lanceolate unarmed rostrum, turned forward, and by long fingers of pereiopod I and II in both males and females.

Phyllolabis eiroae sp. nov. and P. martinhalli sp. nov. are described from the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. These two remarkable species were collected using carrion-baited traps, running during winter, in several localities of Madrid province (Spain). The two new species are well differentiated from the other Phyllolabis Osten Sacken species recorded from the Iberian Peninsula, P. savtshenkoi Theowald, and those from the west Palaearctic. An identification key to differentiate the three Phyllolabis species occurring in the Iberian Peninsula is provided. The first images of P. savtshenkoi, based on the holotype and a male specimen recorded from a cave located in Jaén (Spain), are also provided.

Systematics of the genus Mycomyiella are reviewed. A generic diagnosis, description and illustrations of the males are provided. Nine species are recognized, of which 6 are newly described: M. diseta new species (Tanzania), M. elegans new species (Tanzania), M. ghanaensis new species (Ghana), M. kaputuensis new species (Tanzania), M. tannerorum new species (Tanzania), and M. wangi new species (Tanzania). The phylogeny of Mycomyiella is outlined, placing it as the sister group of Mycomya Rondani, 1856. The monophyly of Mycomyiella is well supported, and two species groups can be recognized, one including M. camerounensis Matile, 1973, M. irwini V is nen, 1994, M. ghanaensis, M. securiculata Matile, 1973, M. diseta and M. kaputuensis, the other including M. elegans, M. tannerorum and M. wangi.

Subjective Synonym

Seven new species and one new subspecies of the genus Strandesia s.l. Stuhlmann, 1888, are described. Four species reared by Sars (1901) from dried mud from Brazil are redescribed. The genera Acanthocypris Claus, 1892, and Neocypris Sars, 1901, are considered as subgenera of Strandesia s.l. Two species from Europe, formerly attributed to Cypricercus Sars, 1895, are redescribed. One of these, C. obliquus (Brady, 1868) was used as type-species for the erection of a new tribe and of the genus Bradleycypris by McKenzie (1982), but proves to be a member of the subgenus Neocypris of Strandesia s.l. Therefore Bradleycypris becomes a subjective synonym of Neocypris. On the other hand, Cypricercus fuscatus (Jurine, 1820) effectively shows the characters used by McKenzie for the characterization of Bradleycypris, and is selected here as type-species of the new genus Bradleystrandesia.

A New Species

It is a singular coincidence that in a former communication to this Magazine (Vol. VI., p. 1) I described, among other Coniferous fruits, two from the Gault at Folkestone, the one the cone of a pine, and the other of a Wellingtonia, and that in this communication I propose to describe two hitherto unknown fruits from the same deposit and found at the same locality, belonging also the one to a Wellingtonia and the other to a pine. Although the small pinecone already described (Pinites gracilis) differs in form and in the arrangement of the scales from any known cone, recent or fossil, it is more nearly related to that group of the section Pinea, the members of which are now associated with the Wellingtonias in the west of North America, than with any other member of the great genus Pinus. I, however, hesitated to refer to this interesting fact, because the occurrence of the two cones in the Gault might have been due to their being accidentally brought into the same silt by rivers having widely separated drainage areas. And it is easier to keep back generalizations based on imperfect data, than to suppress them after publication, when in the progress of investigation they are shown to be false. But I have now to describe a second pinecone more closely related to the Californian species of Pinea, and with it a new species of Wellingtonia. These surely point with tolerable certainty to the existence of a Coniferous vegetation on the high lands of the Upper Cretaceous period having a fades similar to that now existing in the mountains on the west of North America, between the thirtieth and fortieth parallels of latitude. No fossil referable to Sequoia has hitherto been found in strata older than the Gault, and here on the first appearance of the genus we find it associated with pines of the same group that now flourish by its side in the New World.

Mature and young adults of Echinocephalus sinensis n.sp. are described from the intestine of eagle rays (Aetabatus flagellum Bloch and Schneider) caught in Deep Bay, Hong Kong. This new species is readily distinguished from the other members of the genus by the number of rows of cephalic spines, presence of cuticularized preoesophageal serrations, length of spicules, presence of a gubernaculum, and the number and distribution of caudal papillae. Oysters (Crassostrea gigas Thunberg) probably are the intermediate host of this parasite. Second- and third-stage echinocephalid larvae found in these molluscs are described. The taxonomic status of Echinocephalus is briefly discussed and the generic diagnosis is emended.
