Stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) are a moderately diverse order that comprises almost 3,500 extant species of large to very large often impressively camouflaged nocturnal herbivores. The order also stands out as one of the few insect orders that have until lately lacked a robust higher-level phylogeny and still the relationships between many New World taxa in particular remain unknown. The Diapheromerinae is one of the main lineages of the Occidophasmata and comprises a bulk of the diversity of New World stick insects. The clade is endemic to the Americas and includes the longest insects of that region. During the past 25 years Diapheromerinae has experienced various often inconsistent attempts of a classification, which have resulted in a complicated history that has meanwhile constituted a heterogenous mixture of historical and contemporary views. To counter these challenges workers have made use of rank-free taxa to provisionally group supposedly monophyletic clades. Currently the Diapheromerinae are sub-divided into the two tribes Diapheromerini and Oreophoetini and recent molecular analyses have shown taxa of the Cladomorphinae Günther, 1953 to belong to Diapheromerinae. Certainly, the clade still deserves much work to delimit meaningful sub-groups within Diapheromerinae reflective of their evolutionary history and the results of the latest comprehensive molecular-based phylogenetic studies already imply sub-divisions within the Diapheromerini. The rank-free taxon Cladomorformia tax. n. is established to comprise former Cladomorphini, Cranidiini, Otocrania Redtenbacher, 1908 as well as sections of Diapheromerini sensu Robertson et al., 2018, which are the genera that have previously been placed in the “Phanocles group” sensu Zompro, 2001 as well as two genera of the “Bacteria group” and one genus of the “Clonistria group”: Alienobostra, Bostriana, Calynda, Globocalynda, Laciphorus, Phanocles, Phanocloidea and Trychopeplus. The genus Cranidium and all genera of Cladomorphini sensu Hennemann et al., 2016 are here formally transferred to Diapheromerinae, this is Aplopocranidium, Cladomorphus, Jeremia, Jeremiodes, Otocraniella and Xylodus. A holistic review of Cladomorformia at the genus level is conducted herein and new diagnoses, differentiations and keys to all 25 genera that are now contained in that clade are presented. Lists of species are provided for all genera, which include detailed type data, synonymies and distributional records. Moreover, identification keys to all 163 known valid species are provided to render identification of species within the 25 known genera possible. In total, 232 species are covered if the 69 synonymous taxa are included. The subfamily Haplopodinae is introduced to comprise all genera of the tribes Haplopodini, Hesperophasmatini and Pterinoxylini as classified by Hennemann et al. (2016) as well as the recently described Teruelphasmini. Renaming former Cladomorphinae sensu Robertson et al. (2018) into

Recent surveys of palm-associated planthoppers in Costa Rica have revealed many new species, primarily in the families Derbidae and Cixiidae, but also Myconus jacquelinae Bahder & Bartlett, in the Achilidae. Here a new species of Myconus from the the Osa peninsula is described as Myconus florae sp. n. with supplemental molecular data for the barcoding region (5’-half) of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, 18S rRNA gene, and histone 3 (H3) gene. A key to all species of Myconus is provided.

A new genus of dactylogyrid, Peruanella n. gen., is proposed to accommodate Peruanella madredediosensis n. sp. from Brachyplatystoma tigrinum (Britski) (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) from the Madre de Dios River, in Puerto Maldonado City, Madre de Dios region, Peru. The new genus differs from Neotropical dactylogyrids by possessing a combination of the following features: (1) tandem gonads, (2) a tubular J-shaped MCO, (3) an accessory piece connected to the base of the MCO via a filament, (4) a midventral vaginal aperture, (5) anchors similar in shape, each with short roots, (6) straight and robust bars, and (7) equal hook, each with undilated shanks and a depressed thumb. A previously described species, Demidospermus aureagarciae Morey, Rojas, Dávila, Chu & De Pina, 2023 exhibits characteristics that are compatible with the diagnosis of the new genus; therefore, this species is transferred to the Peruanella n. gen. In addition, Jainus peruensis n. sp. is described from Brycon amazonicus (Spix & Agassiz) (Characiformes: Bryconidae). This new species, which is the first species of the genus described in Peru and the third species infecting a bryconid host, can be differentiated from all congeneric species due to: (1) a slender MCO forming a counterclockwise loop at the proximal end, (2) an unarticulated accessory piece with a scythe-shaped distal end, (3) a rod-shaped ventral bar with a medial projection, and (4) a V-shaped and grooved dorsal bar.
秘鲁马德雷德迪奥斯地区马尔多纳多港市的马德雷德迪奥斯河（Madre de Dios River）中的Brachyplatystoma tigrinum (Britski) (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae)中的Peruanella madredediosensis n. sp.该新属与新热带地区的双齿鳉不同，具有以下特征：(1)串联性腺；(2)管状的 J 形 MCO；(3)通过细丝连接到 MCO 基部的附属片；(4)中腹部阴道孔；(5)形状相似的锚，每个都有短根；(6)直而粗壮的杆；(7)等长的钩，每个都有未扩张的柄和凹陷的拇指。之前描述的一个物种 Demidospermus aureagarciae Morey, Rojas, Dávila, Chu & De Pina, 2023 的特征与新属的诊断相符；因此，该物种被转入 Peruanella n. gen.此外，Jainus peruensis n. sp.描述自 Brycon amazonicus (Spix & Agassiz) (Characiformes: Bryconidae)。该新种是在秘鲁描述的该属的第一个种，也是感染白头翁寄主的第三个种，可与所有同属种区分开来，其特征如下(1)细长的 MCO 在近端形成一个逆时针方向的环，(2)一个无节的附属片，远端呈镰刀状，(3)一个杆状的腹杆，有一个内侧突起，以及(4)一个 V 形和有凹槽的背杆。

Goniodorididae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 is a family of small nudibranchs within the heterobranch mollusks. They are distributed throughout the world, and its large species richness makes it the most diverse family within superfamily Onchidoridoidea. Recently, several integrative taxonomic works have been focused on the study of Goniodorididae genera, applying different tools of morphological and molecular analysis. As a result, dozens of species belonging to the family have been described. However, the results of the most complete phylogenetic analyses carried out to date have shown that the species richness remains highly underestimated. In the present work we studied nine species of Goniodorididae from the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that had been previously elucidated from molecular analyses. Morphological and anatomical analyses were carried out to describe or redescribe these species. The internal anatomy of the specimens was studied by dissections. As a result, seven new species from Australia, the Philippines, Singapore and Hawaii are described, Trapania franae sp. nov., Bermudella lahainensis sp. nov., Ceratodoris trypomandyas sp. nov., Murphydoris polkadotsa sp. nov., Naisdoris aurornata sp. nov., Naisdoris labalsaensis sp. nov. and Naisdoris vitiligata sp. nov. The species Bermudella mica (Ortea & Moro, 2014) and Ceratodoris plebeia (Bergh, 1902) are redescribed.

The Afrotropical genus Asapharcha Meyrick, 1920 is recognized as a senior synonym of Lacistodes Meyrick, 1921, syn. nov. and Melitoxestis Meyrick, 1921, syn. nov. Nine species of Asapharcha are recognized as valid, four of which are described as new: A. angustella sp. nov. (South Africa), A. lacistoides sp. nov. (Namibia, Ethiopia, Sudan), A. ochrocapitella sp. nov. (Zimbabwe), and A. unipunctella sp. nov. (Namibia). Two new synonyms are proposed: Asapharcha crateropa Meyrick, 1930 syn. nov. of Lacistodes tauropis Meyrick, 1921, and Lacistodes brunneostola Janse, 1960, syn. nov. of Asapharcha strigifera Meyrick, 1920. Three new generic combinations are proposed: Asapharcha centrotypa (Meyrick, 1920) (Melitoxestis), comb. nov., Asapharcha fuscomaculata (Bidzilya & Mey, 2011) (Lacistodes), comb. nov., Asapharcha hirsuta (Janse, 1958) (Lasiarchis), comb. nov. The female genitalia of A. strigifera are described for the first time. Asapharcha tauropis is recorded for the first time from Kenya and Ethiopia. All species of Asapharcha are diagnosed, and an identification key to all species of the genus is provided. Wing pattern and genitalia of all species are illustrated, and an updated checklist of the genus is given.

Two new species of Afrogarypus Beier, 1931, A. haddadi sp. nov. and A. pseudotriangularis sp. nov., and a new species of Geogarypus Chamberlin, 1930, G. grandis sp. nov. are described. Afrogarypus haddadi sp. nov. is diagnosed by a reduced isb and five rami on the female galea. Afrogarypus pseudotriangularis sp. nov. is diagnosed by trichobothria eb, esb, ib, est, isb, b, sb and st grouping within the first half of the fixed finger length and ten rami on the female galea. Geogarypus grandis sp. nov. is unique from the rest of its South African conspecifics in having two additional basal setae on the cheliceral hand, pedipalps densely ornamented with distinct protuberances and a unique protuberance at the base of the movable chelal finger. An updated identification key to the Geogarypidae species of South Africa is also presented.
