A distinctive new species of Austromenopon from two species of shearwaters, Puffinus kuhlii (Scopoli) and Puffinus leucomelas (Temminick), is described herein. The new species is based on specimens collected from museum study skins and also from material lent to me by Dr. Theresa Clay, British Museum (Natural History) and the U.S. National Museum. I am indebted to Dr. Clay for the opportunity to examine material from the Meinertzhagen collection and to Dr. K. C. Emerson for reviewing this manuscript.

AbstractTelenomus reynoldsi n. sp. (Scelionidae: Telenominae) is described as an egg parasite of Geocoris punctipes Say and G. pallens Stål in California. The parasite has been recovered from cotton fields at Thermal and Indio, and from strawberry fields at El Toro, California. Additional material deposited in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History has been recovered from Geocoris collected at Buttonwillow and Weed, California.

A New Species

The investigation which has led to this description of a new mineral began because of a suggestion by Dr. W. F. Foshag, when on a Visit in 1951 to the Mineral Gallery of the British Museum (Natural History), that a brown cut gemstone exhibited as olivine had perhaps been incorrectly determined. More recently, Dr. Foshag has stated that the idea came from Dr. George Switzer, who as a result of an X-ray powder photograph taken in June 1950 of a similar specimen in the collection of the United States National Museum in Washington concluded that his material was not olivine and was likely to be a new species. The present work would not have been pursued had it been realized at the time that Dr. Switzer intended to continue the study when he had suitable material for analysis.

Having devoted several weeks to the study of the magnificent collection of the remains of Ichthyopterygians preserved in the British Museum (Natural History), I purpose on this occasion to give a brief notice of some of the conclusions at which I have arrived, since a considerable interval will elapse before the publication of that part of the Museum “Catalogue of Fossil Eeptilia” in which my observations will be more fully recorded.

The genus Trichogorgia (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) is composed of mesophotic gorgonians, and has been traditionally included in the Family Chrysogorgiidae. The family is polyphyletic and in need of generic morphological reassessments. Herein, two new species of that genus are described, based on material deposited in the National Museum of Natural History—Smithsonian Institution. Additionally, we provide a taxonomic key to all species of Trichogorgia, also briefly discussing important characters of the group and closely related taxa.

During the course of an extensive survey of Coleoptera from tropical southern Florida, a specimen of the exclusively Neotropical genus Dryocoetoides was found in flight intercept traps (Atkinson and Peck, 1994; Peck, 1989).  Over the intervening years I have had the opportunity to compare the specimen with material in the U.S. National Museum  and in the S. L. Wood collection (recently transferred to the USNM).   Wood's ( 2007) recent monograph of the South American species of Scolytinae included a key to all the known species of the genus, not only those known from South America.  Based on that key and included descriptions I was able narrow down the possibilities and to borrow selected Schedl types from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.  As a result, I have reached the conclusion that this specimen represents an undescribed species.  It is described here to make the name available for a regional monograph of the bark and ambrosia beetles of the southeastern U.S. (Atkinson, in prep.).

Abstract A preliminary list of the picture-winged flies known from Columbia is supplemented by 15 species based predominantly on the materials from the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C., USA and now contains 28 species, including Xycores igniceps gen. & sp. n. from Venezuela and Colombia. The new genus belongs to the subfamily Otitinae and is preliminarily assigned to the tribe Cephaliini by the combination of the high clypeus, strongly widened palp, setulose vein R1, and ejaculator with short sperm pump and long fan-like apodeme. It clearly differs from other members of the tribe by the combination of elongate, narrow, apically truncated flagellomere 1, robust, mainly shining thorax with pair of microtrichose vittae, well developed proepisternal, postpronotal, acrostichal, 2 pairs of dorsocentral and scutellar setae, wing with entirely setulose vein R1 abdominal tergites devoid of microtrichia, sternites and abdominal pleura narrow, male genitalia with short epandrium, numerous (7–8) prensisetae arranged into a row along posterior margin, shallow hypandrium with pair of setulose pregonites, no postgonites or epiphallus, and an almost bare phallus with a pair of long spines submedially.

NOTES ON CERTAIN OF WALSINGHAM'S SPECIES OF OIDAEMATOPHORUS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES (PTEROPHORIDAE)

For some time I have doubted whether the existing determinations of certain of Walsingham's species of plumes, based on the revision of this family by Barnes and Lindsey, were correct. Through the kind offices of Messrs. Tams and Stringer of the British Museum of Natural History I have been furnished with drawings of the left claspers of the male genitalia of a number of Walsingham's types in the genus Oidaematophorus; a study of these drawings in connection with my own slide material has confirmed my suspicions and shown that in at least two cases there had been misidentifications by the above-mentioned authors. With a view to clarifying the situation somewhat in this extremely difficult group I offer the following notes.

The type species of the genus, Calathura crenulata Richardson, 1901, is redescribed from type material and a key to the species of Accalathura in the Caribbean and an adjacent region is given.

A New Species

Adelphocystis aeikineta, a new species of monocystid gregarine, is found in the coelom of the earthworm Keffia variabilis in which the trophozoites occur in large numbers in permanently associated pairs. They are large, measuring 750–1500, μm in length, and exhibit continual peristaltic motion. The ectosarc of the trophozoite is markedly striated and there is no evidence of any anterior differentiation. The gametocytes are rounded and the presumed bipolar sporocysts measure 12–14·5 μm in length. Some associated pairs occur in groups enclosed in a membrane and there is evidence that gametocytes may form under these conditions. A. aeikineta is placed in the subfamily Zygocystinae and separated from Zygocystis on its elongate shape. The site of infection of this gregarine, and others recently described, suggests that the morphological basis on which the family Monocystidae is divided into subfamilies and genera is inadequate and a sounder classification should take into account these sites of infection.The material on which this paper is based was collected while I was in receipt of a Wellcome Trust Travelling Grant, and I wish to thank the Trust for this support. It is also a pleasure to thank Mr R. W. Sims of the British Museum (Natural History) who identified the earthworms, Dr Keith Vickerman who helped me to collect them and Mr R. B. Freeman who advised me on the nomenclature.
