A New Species

A new genus of Baetidae, Pedicelliopsgen. nov., and a new species, P. capillifersp. nov., are described from Guinea (West Africa) based on larvae. The new genus is characterized by having strongly enlarged pedicelli and very short flagella, a brush of dense, short setae between prostheca and mola of both mandibles, a small rectangular labrum, an apicolaterally pointed maxillary palp, a labial palp with a small distolateral protuberance and long setae ventrally on glossae and paraglossae. The femora of all legs are covered with numerous long, fine setae. The patellotibial suture is absent on the fore tibia and present on middle and hind tibiae. The claw is pointed with two rows of denticles. No spines are present on the posterior margins of the abdominal tergites. The imago remains unknown and the relationships with other African genera of Baetidae remains tentative. Despite being easily identifiable and of a fairly large size (body length ca. 5 mm), only two larvae were found in two highly sampled localities in West Africa.

A New Species

A new genus of Baetidae, Megalabiopsgen. nov., and a new species, M. madagasikarasp. nov., are described from Madagascar based on nymphs. The new genus is characterized by having a strongly enlarged mentum; pedicelli with many long, stout, pointed setae; a brush of dense, short setae between prostheca and mola of both mandibles; an apically pointed maxillary palp with a stout seta at the tip; and a labium with many long, simple setae ventrally on glossae. The patellotibial suture is absent on the fore tibia and present on middle and hind tibiae. The claw is strongly elongated with two rows of denticles. The imago remains unknown and the relationships with other African genera of Baetidae are tentative. Despite being easily identifiable, only two nymphs were found in two highly sampled localities in Madagascar.

A New Species

A new species of Tricorythopsis is described, illustrated and diagnosed based on nymphs from Pará state, Brazil. Tricorythopsis similis sp. nov. is related to Tricorythopsis rondoniensis (Dias, Cruz & Ferreira) based on abdominal terga III–VII with acute tubercles medially located on posterior margins, and by the absence of the transversal line on operculate gill. However, the new species can be identified by the following combination of characteristics: general coloration yellowish brown, with blackish and purplish marks irregularly distributed; maxillary palp 1-segmented; segment II of labial palp shorter than segment I and longer than segment III; femora and tibiae with margins covered by long, pectinate setae; tarsal claws with 4 to 5 marginal denticles and 4+2 very small, submarginal denticles. This is the first species of Tricorythopsis recorded from Pará state.

The Family

Three unusual nymphs of Euthyplociidae, subfamily Euthyplociinae, are described from Ecuador. A new genus and new species are established to accommodate these individuals. The morphologically unique specimens are defined by the following characters: short, stout tusks lacking spine-like setae but densely covered with long, hair-like setae; head almost as long as wide; long, quadrate clypeus with acute apicolateral projections; apex of 3rd segment of labial palp acute; apex of 3rd segment of maxillary palp acute and narrow. The hind wing is small, similar to that of Mesoplocia. An ongoing study of the phylogeny of the family recovers Dasyplocia gen. nov. as closely related to Euthyplocia and Mesoplocia.

A New Species

Camelobaetidius francischettii, new species, is described based on nymphs collected from Alagoas and Rio de Janeiro states, Northeastern and Southeastern Brazil, respectively. The species can be distinguished from the other described species of the genus by the following combination of characters: (1) segment 2 of labial palp with distomedial process rounded and strongly produced; (2) fore femora with prominent protuberance; (3) fore tibia with indentation at apex; (4) ventral margin of fore femur and fore tibia entirely scattered with spines; (5) tarsal claws with 34 to 37 denticles; (6) small thoracic gill at the base of fore coxae; (7) prosternum with a single, medial protuberance; (8) paraprocts with ca. 22 marginal small spines; and (9) terminal filament about as long as the length of the 10 th abdominal segment.

A new species of flesh fly, Sarcophaga karakoncolos sp. n., is described based on a single adult male from Turkey (Isparta Province, Anatolia), characterised by its very large size (almost 22mm in body length) and by a unique combination of morphological features. These, together with available molecular data, do not support inclusion of the new species in any of the currently recognised subgenera of Sarcophaga, and it is placed in a new subgenus, Hadroxena subg. n.

The genus Camafroneta gen. nov. is established to accomodate Camafroneta oku gen. et sp. nov., a new species of mynoglenine spider from Cameroon, West Africa, with unusual complex male genitalia. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the new species does not belong to a known genus of mynoglenine spiders. Another three new species of Afroneta Holm, 1968 from East Africa are described: Afroneta flavescens sp. nov., Afroneta serrata sp. nov. and Afroneta sarahae sp. nov. We also describe the missing sex (♂) of Afroneta elgonensis Merrett, 2004.

During an ongoing project investigating the benthic fauna of the Gulf of Guinea several new species of Pyramidellidae were identified. In spite of several recent investigations of the pyramidellid fauna of the area, a great portion of the fauna is obviously still un-described. This paper introduces five new species of Turbonilla sensu lato (T. krakstadi, T. anselmopenasi, T. iseborae, T. korantengi, T. alvheimi). A new Chrysallininae genus, Kongsrudia, is introduced with Actaeopyramis gruveli as type species. A new species, K. rolani is described, and Pyrgulina approximans, Chrysallida ersei, and Pyrgulina mutata (an existing nom. nov. pro P. lamyi) are transferred to the genus Kongsrudia.

A New Species

A total of 14 species in seven tingid genera have been described from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese (Kachin) amber from northern Myanmar, with very distinct paleofauna. Here, a new species of a new genus, Burmavianaida anomalocapitata gen. et sp. nov., is described from Kachin amber. This new species can be readily distinguished from the other described tingid taxa by the apparently smaller body and the structures of the pronotum and hemelytron. Burmavianaida gen. nov. shares the diagnostic characters with two clades composed of three extant subfamilies (Cantacaderinae + Tinginae) and Vianaidinae and may represent an extinct clade distinct from them. To the best of our knowledge, B. anomalocapitata sp. nov. is the smallest species of Tingidae among over 2600 described species. Our new finding supports the hypothesis of the miniaturization phenomenon of insects in Kachin amber, as suggested by previous studies.

AbstractThe order Intejocerida is an enigmatic, short-lived cephalopod taxon known previously only from Early–Middle Ordovician beds of Siberia and the United States. Here we report a new genus, Cabaneroceras, and a new species, C. aznari, from Middle Ordovician strata of central Spain. This finding widens the paleogeographic range of the order toward high-paleolatitudinal areas of peri-Gondwana. A curved conch, characteristic for the new genus, was previously unknown from members of the Intejocerida.UUID: http://zoobank.org/21f0a09c-5265-4d29-824b-6b105d36b791
