The Kõkõi Eujã Natural Traditional Reserve was created in 2019 to protect the golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis Myers, Daly & Malkin, 1978) in the Cauca Department of Colombia. As part of the biodiversity inventory of the reserve a new species of Anthurium with scandent habit was discovered. The new species is endemic to Colombia and it is more similar to A. caldodsonii Croat, A. boekei Croat, and A. scandens (Aubl.) Engl., but differs by having widely lanceolate leaves with acuminate apex, cuneate base, and acrodromous venation with three pairs of basal veins.

It is my greatest pleasure and honour to contribute a part of the series of my studies on the helminth fauna of Japan in honour of Professor R. T. Leiper, one of the most distinguished helminthologists in the world. The material on which the present paper is based was collected at the Tamano Marine Laboratory of Okayama University on the Inland Sea of Japan except for a new species of Raphidascaroides which was taken by Mr. T. Yamamoto at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Kyoto University, on the Pacific coast of Wakayama Prefecture. Acknowledgments are due to the staff of the Tamano Marine Laboratory and also to Mr. Yamamoto for their generous supply of the material.

The description of this single species is necessary to facilitate the publication of ongoing research conducted by Rita Vargas at the Museum of Zoology, University of Costa Rica, dealing with the associated microfauna. Presently 24 species of Leptogorgia have been reported for the eastern Pacific, 13 of which have been found in Costa Rica (Breedy & Cortés 2011). Although octocoral surveys have been conducted as part of biodiversity studies, there is no published information regarding the occurrence of this taxon in Golfo Dulce. Here we describe a new species of Leptogorgia and compare it with other Leptogorgia species with similar characteristics. Golfo Dulce is a bay located on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It is about 50 km long, 10–15 km wide, and covers an area of approximately 680 km². The inner part of Golfo Dulce has a maximum depth of slightly over 200 m with a 60 m deep sill at the opening to the Pacific Ocean (Cortés 1999). It has been considered a tropical fjord because of the bathymetry and the presence of anoxic deep waters (Cortés 1999, Svendsen et al. 2006). Specimens were collected by Scuba diving, preserved in 70% ethanol or air dried, and treated and identified following the current methodology (Breedy & Guzman 2002). The holotype and paratypes are deposited in the Museo de Zoología, Universidad de Costa Rica (MZUCR, formerly UCR), San José, P.O. Box 11501-2060, Costa Rica.

Axiopsis (Axiopsis) baronai is a new species of Thalassinidea (family Axiidae) from the Pacific coast of Colombia in depths of 5–9 m with soft mud substrate. A male holotype and three female paratypes are deposited in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington. D.C. Compared with other species of the genus it is large, reaching 94 mm total length (35 mm cl (measurement from the orbit to the posterior edge of the carapace in the midline dorsally)) in six specimens examined. It resembles A. (A.) consabrina but major differences include the similarity in size of first chelae. more spines on carinae of gastric region and only two or three spines laterally on the telson.

Peniculus asinus, a new species of copepod parasitic on Sebastes (Pisces: Teleostei) off the Pacific coast of Canada is described and illustrated. The copepod is an unique member of its genus in that it possesses cephalothoracic holdfast processes. The discovery of a Peniculus with these processes is taken as evidence confirming the place of this genus in the family Pennellidae.

Cyclolejeunea is a small neotropical genus of six species and a common epiphyllous hepatic in lowland and montane rainforests. We describe the new species Cyclolejeunea glimeana M.E.Reiner & Gradst. from wet lowland rainforest along the Pacific coast of Colombia (Chocó). The new species is characterized by the absence of innovations, entire leaf margins, leaf lobules without any indication of a tooth, and ligulate, thalloid gemmae without rhizoids. The combination of morphological characters seen in C. glimeana sets this species well apart from the remaining members of the genus and warrants its placement in a separate subgenus, C. subg. Chocolejeunea M.E.Reiner & Gradst. subg. nov. Ecologically, the new species stands out by its preference for palm trunks. The new species is a further addition to the unusually rich flora of the Chocó region.
