The genus Aspidistra Ker Gawler (1822: 628) is represented in tropical and subtropical SE Asia by more than 160 species. It has the highest diversity in southern China and northern Vietnam (Tillich 2005, 2014, Tillich & Averyanov 2012, Vislobokov et al. 2013). In Vietnam, more than 50 species are known: many species have been discovered from the limestone regions in North Vietnam, while about 21 species are found from sandstone forests in Central and South Vietnam (Gagnepain 1934, Bogner & Arnautov 2004, Bräuchler & Ngoc 2005, Averyanov & Tillich 2012, 2013, 2016a, 2016b, Averyanov et al. 2016, Tillich 2005, 2014, Tillich & Averyanov 2008, Tillich et al. 2007, Leong-Škorničková et al. 2014, Vislobokov 2015, Vislobokov et al. 2013, 2014b, 2014c, 2016a, 2016b, Lý & Tillich 2016). During extensive floristic surveys in Central Vietnam in 2016, several interesting specimens of Aspidistra were collected by the first author. The critical examination of these specimens and study of literature for Aspidistra in Vietnam and neighbouring countries allowed to evidence several new taxa, two of which have been recently described: A. averyanovii Lý & Tillich (2016: 54) and A. parviflora Lý & Tillich (2016: 56). In the present paper, we describe a further new species from Cà Đam mountains, Quảng Ngãi Province, namely Aspidistra cadamensis.

A new species of the peltoperlid genus Microperla Chu, 1928, Microperla qinlinga Chen, sp. nov. from Shaanxi Province of northwestern China is described and illustrated. The new species is characterized by the widely rounded ventral lobe in males and the extremely large and bilobed subgenital plate in female. In addition, the taxonomic history and current status of the genus Microperla is reviewed.

A new species, Onnia kesiya, is described from South Vietnam on the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic evidence. It is characterized by distinct lateral stipe, relatively thin and duplex context, hooked hymenial setae, widest basidiospores among Onnia species, and grows on Pinus kesiya in tropical pine forest. Detailed description with a photo and illustration is provided for the new species, and its relationships with similar species are discussed.

A holotrichous ciliate found repeatedly in very large numbers in the body cavity of larval midges (Chironomus plumosus) from Paris and Berlin areas is described as a new species of the genus Tetrahymena, named T. chironomi sp.nov. It appears to represent a true example of facultative parasitism, since parasites released from the host survive in laboratory cultures, and free-living ciliates believed identical have been isolated from fresh-water sources in nature. Over a 3-month period more than 2000 larvae, principally fourth-instar stages, were examined; about 9 % of these were found to be infected with ciliates.T. chironomi is the thirteenth species to be added to the growing holotrich hymenostome genus Tetrahymena. It is taxonomically distinguishable from other members of the genus on the basis of a combination of characteristics related to its morphology and bionomics. It is one of the smallest species, has 24–27 ciliary meridians and a relatively large, spherical micronucleus, does not exhibit dimorphism or cystic stages in its life cycle, and does not possess a caudal cilium.

A remarkable new lavender from southern Italy which has long been treated as L. angustifolia and superficially resembles this montane species from the French and Italian Alps. However, it differs in key characters, most notably the inflorescence, corolla structure, calyx indumentum, bract form and essential oil profile. It is here described as a new species and thus required review of the current status of the subspecies recognised. The plants endemic to the Pyrenees are raised to species level (L. pyrenaica) for consistency of treatment, supported by morphological and DNA data.

The genus Archiclimacograptus represents one of the earliest taxa of axonophoran graptolites with geniculate thecae, but its current status and evolutionary relationships are difficult to access even after a number of cladistic analyses have been executed. Archiclimacograptus? pungens (Ruedemann), a poorly known little species from the lower Darriwilian of eastern North America is interpreted as a possible member of the genus. The species belongs to a group of axonophorans with highly asymmetrical proximal end and pattern C astogeny, characterized by the lack of an apertural spine on th12, ranging from the Levisograptus dentatus Biozone (Darriwilian) to the Nemagraptus gracilis Biozone (Sandbian). Specimens are common in North America and the Argentinian Precordillera, but have not been reported from any Atlantic Faunal Realm localities. The distribution of the group indicates a restriction to the Pacific Faunal Realm, providing the earliest indication of a developing biogeographic differentiation of axonophoran graptolites after their origin in the oceanic biofacies during the Upper Dapingian to lower Darriwilian time interval. Archiclimacograptus? ambiguus is described as a new species.
