In the course of an investigation of the secondary sexual characters of Saprinus assimilis Payk, the writer found five specimens of an hitherto undescribed species of Saprinus. At the request of Mr. Henry Dybas, who submitted the material for determination and study, the description of the species is included with the following notes.

A new species Sybistroma genriki sp. n. from the Yunnan province of China is described. It belongs to S. incisa group of species, differing from other species in mostly yellow antenna with arista-like stylus much longer than postpedicel; postpedicel elongated, much longer than wide, acute apically; stylus apical, with dark and white apical swelling; lower postocular setae white; legs mostly yellow except mostly black mid and hind coxae and brown-black distal spot on hind femur. A key to 11 species from Sichuan and Yunnan is provided, based mainly on male secondary sexual characters. The known distribution of the dolichopodine genus Sybistroma Meigen, 1824, is briefly discussed.

The species described below is closely related to Dolichopus dorycerus Loew, 1864, but differs in both sexes in the colour of the lower orbital cilia and, in the male, in many details of the secondary sexual characters.Dolichopus phyllocerus, new speciesMale.–Length 6.3 mm.; wing length 6.2 mm. Face long, narrow, slightly broadened above, pale golden-brown, silvery below. Front metallic copper or coppery-green. Antenna (Fig. 1b) with first two segments yellow, the third black with about basal third yelllow; first segment of normal length; second very short, especially on lateral surface where it is scarcely visible; third short, broad, blunt. Arista black, about 21/2 times as long as rest of antenna, very slender, with a broad, blunt apical lamella. Lateral and lower orbital cilia yellow, upper cilia black.

A new and very unusual species of green lacewings, Ungla pseudomeleoma sp. nov. is described from Peru. Males of this species exhibit a remarkable example of generic-level homoplasy with Meleoma. Its abdominal and genitalic features are completely consistent with the genus Ungla. However, its external sexually dimorphic features resemble those of both Ungla and Meleoma. Females of the new species also express cranial modifications that resemble those of some female Meleoma species.

Recently, the author described two species of the genus Hoplosaenidea Laboissiere, 1933 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) where the male having a peculiar secondary sexual characters: clypeus excavated, furnished with projections, and the antennal first segment large, broadened, excavated and spined at apex. The two species are H. takizawai Mohamedsaid, 2001 (Fig. 5) and H. singaporensis Mohamedsaid, 2002 (Fig. 6) described from Bali and Singapore, respectively. The presence of secondary sexual characters in males is most prevalent in the chrysomelid beetles of the subfamily Galerucinae (Mohamedsaid 2004b).

A new species of ciid beetle from southwestern South Africa is described. Images of the habitus, male genitalia and other characters of the external morphology are provided. The observed variations of male secondary sexual characters are briefly discussed. The similarities of external morphological characters of Cis pickeri sp. nov. to other species of Cis Latreille are discussed, and the new species is tentatively included in the bilamellatus species group.

The spoon tarsus species subgroup is revised and this clade is placed in the modified tarsus group of Hawaiian Drosophila. The species boundaries in this group are discussed in light of diagnostic secondary sexual characters of males. Drosophila septuosa Hardy is regarded as a junior synonym of Drosophila percnosoma Hardy. A new species, Drosophila kikalaeleele Lapoint, Magnacca & O’Grady is described. Drosophila fastigata Hardy, a species endemic to O‘ahu, is added to the species subgroup, bringing the total number of known species to 12. An updated key to species is provided to the spoon tarsus subgroup.

Xylaria fusispora, an undescribed species of Xylaria (Xylariales, Xylariaceae), is described and illustrated as a new species based on collections from Guizhou Province, China. Both morphology and phylogenetic analysis of nrDNA ITS sequences support the establishment of this new species. The fungus is characterized by its fusoid-equilateral ascospores and an ascus apical ring not bluing in Melzer’s reagent. The differences between the new species and the related fungi are discussed.

The Brazilian land planarians Cratera crioula, C. joia, Geoplana hina, and G. taxiarcha (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Geoplanidae) are revised taxonomically from type material and additional specimens. Geoplana hina sensu Carbayo et al. (2013) was found to be an undescribed species and therefore is described and named as Cratera picuia sp. n. A new species of the genus is also described and named as Cratera arucuia sp. n. G. hina and G. taxiarcha are transferred to Cratera. The most remarkable morphological feature of Cratera—a dilated terminal portion of the ejaculatory duct—is either absent, inconspicuous, or variable in C. hina, C. joia, C. picuia sp. n., and C. arucuia sp. n. Based on the monophyletic status of Cratera inferred elsewhere, an emendation of the genus is here proposed to encompass the morphological variation observed in the genus.

A New Species

Background – Ongoing studies of Brazilian Rubiaceae revealed an undescribed species of Amaioua endemic to Atlantic Forest (Restinga and Semideciduous forest) of the state of Bahia, which is here described and illustrated, and its morphological characters are discussed and compared with those of similar species. Methods – This study is based on examinations of herbarium specimens, samples preserved in 60% ethanol, field observations, and digital images. Herbarium specimens of the CAY, CEPEC, HBR, IBGE, K, MBM, NY, RB, U, UB, UFG, and US herbaria were directly studied. Additional images of herbarium specimens were studied online. Results – Amaioua longipedicellata Delprete & J.G.Jardim is here described, illustrated and compared with the two most similar species, i.e., A. glomerulata (Lam. ex Poir.) Delprete & C.H.Perss. and A. intermedia Mart. A table comparing the morphological characters of these three species, and an appendix with selected specimens studied of A. glomerulata and A. intermedia are included.
