Abstract: The marine malacofauna of New Caledonia is among the most studied and best known of the Indo-Pacific region. Previous studies have shown that its richness and species compositions are examples of extreme spatial heterogeneity. Turrids are among the richest and most diverse groups of marine gastropods. In the present paper the shallow-water turrid fauna of Ile des Pins is inventoried for the first time. 174 morphotypes hosted in 8 families are herein recorded, of which 22 species are considered new records for New Caledonia. The following new combinations were introduced: Mitromorpha drivasi (Chang, 1995), Acrista nana (Hervier, 1896), Acrista latirella (Melvill & Standen, 1896), Acrista pusilla (Dunker, 1871), Acrista tuberculifera (Hervier, 1896), Hemilienardia idiomorpha (Hervier, 1897), Heterocithara diatula (Hervier, 1897), Heterocithara isophanes (Hervier, 1897), and Pseudorhaphitoma hervieri Hedley, 1922.
摘要:新喀里多尼亚的海洋软体动物是印度-太平洋地区研究最多、最著名的动物之一。先前的研究表明,其丰富度和物种组成是极端空间异质性的例子。Turrids是海洋腹足类中最丰富、种类最多的一类。本文首次对Ile des Pins的浅水泥炭地动物群进行了调查。本文记录了8科174种形态类型,其中22种被认为是新喀里多尼亚的新记录。介绍了以下新的组合:Mitromorpha drivasi(Chang,1995)、Acrista nana(Hervier,1896)、Acris ta latirella(Melvill&Standen,1896),Acrista pusila(Dunker,1871)、Acrita tubulifera(Hervier1896)、Hemilienerdia idiomorpha(Hervieer,1897)、Hedicitara diatula。

Abstract: Described from Namibia, Trichophiala devylderi Aurivillius, 1879 is a species for which, apart from the original description of female “types”, little is known. Building upon recent observations in the field, investigations in various museums that preserve specimens, and a review of the literature, we describe for the first time the habitat, the known distribution, the morphology of both sexes including the presence of two phenotypes, and the genitalia of both male and female. We also provide genetic information from several specimens that reveal little variation in the standard animal DNA barcode. Finally, we designate a lectotype among the three specimens preserved at the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden.

Abstract: Two new dilepidid cestodes parasitic in common landbirds of Ivory Coast are described. Spiniglans thomassankara sp. nov. was found in Ploceus nigerrimus castaneofuscus (Ploceidae) and other Ploceus species along the lagoon system of the South East of the country. It shows characters similar to those of members of both Spiniglans and Dictymetra but lacks a clearly visible ductus masculinus. It is characterized by 24-26 comparatively long hooks and a massive ovary. Monopylidium comoensis sp. nov. was found in Gymnoris dentata (Passeridae) in the Sudanian savanna from the North Eastern corner of the country. It shows 20-22 hooks 13.5-16.5 long, 14-25 testes and a distally enlarged vagina. The unknown parasites richness of very common hosts is underscored.

Abstract: The species group formerly included in the genus Syleter Andrewes, 1941 from the Oriental region is redefined resulting in the split of three genera, the original genus Syleter and two new genera, Parasyleter gen. nov. and Clypeuspinus gen. nov. Genus descriptions of the three genera and an identification key to the three genera is provided. Type species for the three genera are either re-established or designated and illustrations are provided for all of them. The genus Syleter is revised. The species Syleter acutipalpis (Putzeys) is resurrected to species status from synonymy with S. paradoxus (Putzeys). For S. acutipalpis a lectotype has been designated in order to maintain nomenclatural stability. The following new taxa are described: S. sinepunctatus sinepunctatus sp. nov., S. sinepunctatus kluangensis ssp. nov., and S. gradus sp. nov. A key to the Syleter species is provided. The genus Clypeuspinus gen. nov. is represented by one species, C. validus (Andrewes) comb. nov., which is redescribed.

Abstract: Syrphidae are pollinators, pest predators and decomposers in European ecosystems. Camprodon (Girona province, Spain) is a valley with rich vegetation and high habitat diversity in the eastern Pyrenees. However, hoverfly biodiversity in this valley was poorly known. To explore the high potential of this area for Syrphidae, a survey with hand-net was undertaken in July/August 2020 in the valley. The list of Syrphidae species from the valley increases to 88, whilst that of the Girona province now extends to 119 species. Chrysotoxum lessonae Giglio-Tos, 1890 is reported for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula. The specimens of Xylota tarda Meigen, 1822 and Cheilosia hypena (Becker, 1894) represent the first documented records of these species for the Iberian Peninsula and Spain, respectively; i.e. these two species were known to occur in the Iberian Peninsula and Spain but without further locality details. A total of 19 species were new to the region of Catalonia and 23 to the Girona province. Cheilosia Meigen, 1822 was the genus with the highest number of species recorded, as expected from the combination of mountains, diversity of forest vegetation, and presence of rivers/streams of the Camprodon valley. Faunistic results from this fieldwork are relevant to knowledge of Diptera from Catalonia, a region of Spain where this insect family is understudied.

Abstract: Dissomphalus is a cosmopolitan genus with 424 described species. Here, all 287 Pan-American species of Dissomphalus are analyzed in order to be allocated to species groups under an alpha taxonomic approach. Thirty-four species groups composed of species with known males were initially considered. The following six species-groups are newly proposed: chiapanus, confusus, cornutus, fungosus, lamellatus and napo. The following eleven species groups are fused into four: dissomphaloides with amplus, altivolans with apertus, xanthopus with microstictus, kansanus with secretus, basidentatus and stellatus with vallensis, and strabus with tuberculatus. Forty-seven incertae sedis species are grouped and 29 are newly grouped. A total of 35 species groups are now recognized and all of the 11 species known exclusively by females remain unallocated to groups. A pictorial key to the species groups is first proposed.

Abstract: The Peruvian high-altitude spider species Erigone palustris Millidge, 1991, a member of the psychrophilaspecies group, is redescribed and illustrated. This species is very similar to the northern European hypoarcto-boreal E. svenssoni Holm, 1975, different only in a few minor details of the male palp. A list of the psychrophila-species group is presented and its biogeography is discussed.
