Two new species of the genus Eutetranychus Banks are described and illustrated based on adult females and males, E.spinosussp. n. from Indigoferaspinosa Forssk (Leguminosae), E.neotransversussp. n. from Juniperusprocera Hochst. ex Endl. (Cupressaceae), and E.palmatus Attiah, 1967 is redescribed from Washingtoniarobusta H. Wendl. (Arecaceae). Additionally, the intraspecific morphological variations within E.orientalis populations, collected from 28 various host plants and 80 different localities from six regions of Saudi Arabia from 2009 to 2017, are discussed and presented. The genus Eutetranychus is divided into two species groups based on the presence of one seta (orientalis group) or two setae (banksi group) on coxa II. In addition, seven Eutetranychus species are suggested as synonyms of E.orientalis (Klein, 1936) and E.papayensis Iqbal & Ali, 2008 is considered as species inquirenda. A key to all known species of the genus Eutetranychus is provided.

The genus Frisilia Walker of the world is reviewed, with all of the 31 known species including two new species, F. cornualis sp. nov. and F. nesiotes sp. nov. The genus can be divided into the nesciatella and the anningensis species groups, on basis of the presence or absence of a median process of the juxta in the male genitalia. For all of the known species, we provide photos of adults and their male or female genitalia, all available taxonomic information including original references, type localities, type depositories, sources of available specimens, geographical distributions, and some recently collected data of the species. Frisilia striapunctata Wu is transferred to the genus Homaloxestis Meyrick, due to the normal slender labial palpus of the male and its wing venation. Frisilia drimyba Diakonoff (1967), known from the Philippines, is excluded from the genus Frisilia because of its lanceolate forewing with sharply pointed apex.

The Linotetranidae (Acari : Tetranychoidea) is a poorly known group of cryptic false spider mites associated with grasses and sedges. We review the family at the world level, provide the first phylogenetic analysis of the family, and describe the first Australian representatives: Austrolinus, gen. nov. and two new species: A.��arenulus and A. kinnearae. Linotetranidae is redefined, and keys are provided for the families of the Tetranychoidea, and for all described genera and species of Linotetranidae.

First Time

The salticid fauna of Chile is relatively small, consisting of 21 known species in eight genera. The male and female morphology of each species for which material was available is shown. Two new species, Dendryphantes villarrica n. sp. and Euophrys flordellago n.sp. are described. Euophrys pehuenche Galiano, 1968 is synonymised with Euophrys rapida C. L. Koch, 1846. As well, three little known species, Euophrys saitiformis Simon, 1901, Euophrys laetata Simon, 1904 and Euophrys rapida C. L. Koch, 1846 are redescribed from the types. The female of Dendryphantes fulvipes is described for the first time. Several earlier described species remain unidentifiable from modern material. Eighteen names are listed as species inquirenda as the descriptions are inadequate and the location of the types unknown. Keys to the genera and known species are provided. Remarks on the biology and distribution of each species are given.La fauna chilena de saltícidos es relativamente pobre, siendo de 21 especies ubicadas en ocho géneros. Se presenta la morfología del macho y de la hembra de cada una de las especies a las cuales se disponía de material. Se describen dos especies nuevas: Dendryphantes villarrica n. sp. y Euophrys flordellago n.sp. Euophrys pehuenche Galiano, 1968 es reducido a estado de sinónimo con Euophrys rapida C.L. Koch, 1846. Adicionalmente, tres especies poco conocidas― Euophrys saitiformis Simon, 1901, Euophrys laetata Simon, 1904 y Euophrys rapida C.L. Koch, 1846― se vuelven a describir a base de los ejemplares tipos. Por primera veza se decribe la hembra de Dendrophantes fulvipes. Varias especies, posiblemente legítimas, se desconocen en colecciones modernas. Se considera 18 nombres como species inquirenda, ya que sus descripciones originales son inadecuadas y se desconoce la ubicación de los ejemplares tipos. Se presentan llaves para la identificación de los géneros y de las especies conocidas. Se aporta información sobre la biología y distribución de cada especie.

Generic Character

This paper contains a taxonomic survey of nematodes belonging to the predaceous family Mononchidae, collected by Dr. Fields Caveness in western Nigeria during 1959–61. Four genera, new to science, Crassibucca, Hadronchus, Polyonchulus, and Prionchulellus, and 16 new species, Crassibucca penicula, C. macrocauda, C. microdonta, Hadronchus bisexualis, H. monohystera, Iotonchus acuticaudus, I. clarki, I. nigeriensts. I. parabasidontus, I. tarjani, Miconchus pararapax, M. thornei, Mylonchulus curvicaudus, Polyonchulus cobbi, P. megadontus, and Prionchulellus cavenessi are described and illustrated.Several already described species are also included. Iotonchus piracicabae (Lordello) and Mononchus (I.) piracicaboides Carvalho are placed in synonymy of I. trichurus (Cobb). Miconchus dadayi (Micoletzky) in Schneider, 1953 is considered a synonym of Miconchus pararapax n. sp. Miconchus dadayi (Micoletzky, 1914), (=Mononchus macrostoma of Daday, 1910) is regarded as species inquirenda. Mylonchulus hawaiiensis (Cassidy) is removed from synonymy, and Iotonchus similis (Cobb) is designated incertae sedis. Mylonchulus montanus (Thorne) is considered a synonym of Mylonchulus lacustris (Cobb). An illustrated taxonomic key to the 14 genera in the family Mononchidae is presented. Keys to most of the world species in these genera are also included.The value of the tuberculate and non-tuberculate valve as a generic character is discussed.

First Time

The genus Leioseius Berlese is reviewed, faunistically in North America, and taxonomically, world-wide. Descriptions of two new species, redescriptions of two previously recorded species, and first records of Leioseius elongatus Evans in North America are presented. Observations indicate that various leg setal and pretarsal attributes are useful in taxonomic discrimination of species in this genus. A key to North American species based on both idiosomatic and leg setal aspects is presented. Four species previously described under the genus Iphidozercon Berlese are accounted for the first time as species of Leioseius, and other taxa described previously as four yet other species of Leioseius are transferred to other genera. A tentative key, provided for separation of females of the 22 recognizable world Leioseius species, accounts for these changes. General morphological notes about mites of this genus are presented, some of which may lead to recognition of species-groups. Scant, general biological aspects about Leioseius mites are presented.

The genus Colocasiomyia de Meijere (Diptera, Drosophilidae) is known to include 30 described and nearly 60 undescribed species classified into six species groups. Among these, the C. gigantea group of seven known species (two Southeast Asian and five Chinese) proved to be peculiar for its specificity on monsteroid (subfamily Monsteroideae, family Araceae) host plants. In this paper, two new species, C. todai Jiao & Gao, sp. nov. and C. liae Jiao & Gao, sp. nov., are described as members of the C. gigantea group with specimens collected from inflorescences of the monsteroid host species Rhaphidophora peepla (Roxb.) Schott and R. crassicaulis Engl. & Krause, respectively, in Yunnan, China. The two new species are delimitated, in comparison with all known species, based on not only morphological but also DNA barcode (partial sequence of the mitochondrial COI, i.e., cytochrome c oxydase subunit I, gene) data. A revised key to all the nine species of the C. gigantea species group is provided.

A New Species

Only three species of Trichomyia Haliday have been recorded in Mexico. Trichomyia cirrata Coquillett, 1902, is recognized by its female characteristics, T. fairchildi Vargas and D az-N jera, 1953, was described based only on the wing and must be considered as species inquirenda, and T. maldonadoi (Vargas, 1953), which was described based on one female specimen. Specimens of Trichomyia collected in the states of Campeche, Yucatan, and Oaxaca, Mexico, allowed this female to be associated with the male of T. brevitarsa (Rapp, 1945), thus providing a first report of this species in Mexico. Consequently, T. maldonadoi is proposed as a synonym of T. brevitarsa. Additionally, a new species of Trichomyia from the state of Veracruz, Mexico, is described and illustrated based on the male and female characteristics.
