A New Species

Distinctive, remarkable specimens from Bauru, São Paulo state, Brazil are recognized as a new species of the genus Laemophloeus Dejean (sensu stricto), which is described and illustrated in this paper. Laemophloeus souzalimai sp. nov. is most similar to L. germaini Grouvelle and can be readily distinguished from all New World species of the genus by the dorsal color testaceous, without elytral maculae, antennal club of 6 antennomeres, genal processes anteriorly projected, male head with somewhat pedunculated eyes, and frons with a broad, V-shaped impressed line. Additionally, the preexisting key to Laemophloeus species with antennal club of 6 or more antennomeres is modified to include the new species, and new records for five Brazilian species of the genus are provided.

A New Species

A new species of hymenosomatid freshwater crab, Neorhynchoplax Sakai, 1938, is described from Patna, Bihar, northern India. The species resembles the Indian N. woodmasoni (Alcock, 1895) and N. alcocki Kemp, 1917, but differs in the form of the carapace, armature on the cheliped merus, number of spines on the dactylus of the ambulatory legs, and structure of the male abdomen.

A New Species

Freshwater prawns do not only have economic importance in hydroponics and fisheries for food purposes, but also recently receive increasing attention in aquarium trade (Karge & Klotz 2007). An examination of some prawns imported as ‘ornamental shrimps’ from Cooch Behar, East Bengal, India to Europe revealed that they belong to a hitherto undescribed species of the genus Macrobrachium and are described here in detail. The new species belong to the group of specimen with large eggs, indicating abbreviated or direct larval development in freshwater, occurring in inland river systems (Tiwari 1955b). Morphological M. agwi nov.sp. is most similar to M. kempi (Tiwari, 1947) first described from Chittagong, Bangladesh, M. altifrons altifrons (Henderson, 1893) from Northern India and Nepal and M. hendersoni (De Man, 1906) known from hill streams in East India and Myanmar. Though the proposed new species can be distinguished from M. kempi by lacking a dense fur of setae on the lower margin of the propodus of male large cheliped, from M. altifrons by the shape and armature of second chelae and from M. hendersoni by lacking longitudinal groves covered with fine hairs on fingers of second chelipeds.

A new Oodinychus Berlese, 1917 species, O. scolytana sp. nov., was discovered and described from the galleries of bark beetles Polygraphus proximus Blandford from two different parts of Asian Russia. New associations are given for the trematurid mites and bark beetle species. Three bark beetle associated species from the Trichouropoda ovalis-group are moved into the genus Oodinychus as O. hirsuta (Hirschmann, 1972) comb. nov., O. rafalski (Wiśniewski & Hirschmann, 1984) comb. nov. and O. wilkinsoni (Hirschmann &Wiśniewski, 1986) comb. nov. Also, Oodinychus egypticus Abo-Shnaf, El-Bishlawy & Allam, 2018 is transferred to the genus Nenteria Oudemans, 1915.

A New Species

We describe Bulasconotus scaccarius sp. nov., a new species of cylindrical bark beetle (Zopheridae: Colydiinae: Synchitini), elevating the number of described species in its genus to two. Despite discovering this species in Hawaii, we suspect, based on collections and survey data, that it is endemic to the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu and has only recently arrived in Hawaii. Evidence of the diet of closely related genera indicates that the new species may be a predator of ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), conceivably posing a risk to those that are endemic to Hawaii.

A New Species

Cyana Walker, 1854 is one of the most species-rich Erebiidae genera within the tribe Lithosiini Billberg of the subfamily Arctiinae Leach. The genus is widespread from Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar through southern and eastern Asia to New Guinea and Australia with a diversity hot spot in South East Asia. A striking species with contrasting red and orange wing pattern, C. bellissima (Moore, 1878) was described from northern India and recorded from the Himalayas, China and Indochina (Fang 2000; Černý & Pinratana 2009; Singh et al. 2020). Another closely related species, C. stresemanni (Rothschild, 1936) (= bellissima inouei Kishida, 1993) is distributed in the Peninsular Malaysia (Rothschild 1936; Kishida 1993; Bucsek 2012). During examination of extensive unsorted Lithosiini materials housed in the MWM/ZSM and the private collection of the senior author, a series of peculiar specimens from southern Vietnam provisionally identified as ‘C. bellissima’ was found. These specimens, however, display certain external differences from other populations of C. bellissima and C. stresemanni, suggesting the presence of a further taxon related to C. bellissima. The examination of the male and the female genitalia of the southern Vietnamese specimens has confirmed their specific distinctness and they are described in this paper as a new species.
