. Hemitelsella luismendesi sp. nov. is described from material collected in leaf litter near Marla in South Australia and Subtrinemura epigea sp. nov. is described from a specimen collected at Chester Hill in New South Wales. Molecular data (28S and COI) are presented for both species and the position of H. luismendesi within the genus is discussed.

. The Indo-West Pacific coral reef mantis shrimp genus genus, Gonodactylopsis Manning, 1969, was established for two Indo-West Pacific species: Gonodactylus herdmani Tattersall, 1906 (type species) described from the Gulf of Mannar, India; and Gonodactylus drepanophorus de Man, 1902, from Indonesia. A third species, Gonodactylopsis komodoensis Erdmann & Manning, 1998, was described from Komodo, Indonesia. Gonodactylopsis is revised herein based on type and other material of the three known species, and two new species are described based on recent collections from coral reefs: one from Macclesfield Bank, South China Sea, and the other from Fiji and Papua New Guinea. Reconsideration of all species of Gonodactylopsis revealed a probable synapomorphy of the genus that is unique in the Stomatopoda: the presence of membranous, partially de-chitinized posterior surfaces of the uropodal endopod and exopod distal article. All species of Gonodactylopsis are described and figured, and an identification key is provided.

Caprella acanthogaster Mayer, 1890 sensu lato (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Caprellidae) has previously been recorded from temperate and cold waters of Far East Asia and Australia. A detailed morphological comparison of specimens collected from Gippsland Lakes (Victoria, Australia) and Otsuchi Bay (Tohoku District, Japan) revealed that C. acanthogaster sensu lato from these regions comprises two separate species. Caprella acanthogaster Mayer, 1890 sensu stricto is confirmed to be distributed in northern Japan. Caprella tamboensis sp. nov. is present in Victoria and Tasmania, Australia, and most noticeably differs from C. acanthogaster sensu stricto in having a relatively short triangular projection on the palm of propodus of gnathopod 2 and a relatively longer peduncle article 2 of antenna 1 (being longer than article 3).
Caprella acanthoaster Mayer,1890 sensu lato(甲壳纲:两栖目:Caprellidae)以前曾在远东和澳大利亚的温带和寒冷水域被记录。对从吉普斯兰湖(澳大利亚维多利亚州)和大槌湾(日本东北区)采集的标本进行了详细的形态学比较,结果表明,这些地区的C.acanthoaster sensu lato包括两个独立的物种。据证实,1890年在日本北部有分布。塔姆博恩小蠊(Caprella tamboensis sp.nov.)存在于澳大利亚维多利亚州和塔斯马尼亚州,与严格意义上的棘腹小蠊最显著的不同之处在于,在颚足类2的前足类手掌上有一个相对较短的三角形突起,而触角1的蒂类2相对较长(比类3长)。

A recent revision of the globally distributed dwarf sea hare Aplysia parvula sensu lato split that species into 10 separate taxa. As Australian specimens were not included in this revision, further study using material from the south west Pacific was warranted. At least one described species, Aplysia concava, was found to occur in southeastern Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. A redescription of this species was published by Nimbs & Wilson (2021) even though the holotype was deemed lost—the difficulty, in 2020–2021, to access important and relevant museum specimens, prevented the designation of an appropriate neotype at that time. The present study is an annexure to the published redescription for the purpose of designating a neotype for Aplysia concava and provides a discussion on the taxonomic status of another dwarf sea hare species, Aplysia norfolkensis, which is herein regarded as a junior synonym of A. concava.
最近对全球分布的矮海雀(applysia parvula sensu lau)进行了修订,将该物种划分为10个独立的分类群。由于澳大利亚标本不包括在这次修订中,因此有必要使用西南太平洋的材料进行进一步研究。在澳大利亚东南部、新西兰和新喀里多尼亚发现了至少一种已被描述的物种,即Aplysia concava。Nimbs & Wilson(2021年)发表了对该物种的重新描述,尽管该物种的原型被认为已经丢失——在2020-2021年,由于难以获得重要和相关的博物馆标本,当时无法指定适当的新模式。本研究是对已发表的矮海兔(Aplysia concava)新种重新描述的附录,并对另一种矮海兔(Aplysia norfolkensis)的分类地位进行了讨论,该矮海兔在本文中被认为是a. concava的初级同义词。

In 2017 a survey was conducted of the Drosophilidae on the remote Cook Islands: Rarotonga, Aitutaki and Mangaia in the Tropical South Pacific. A diverse range of collecting methods was implemented, at different elevations and in domestic, rural, and montane-forest habitats. Only two widespread species Drosophila ananassae and D. simulans have previously been reported from Cook Islands. Among the 8036 specimens collected, 12 species were found, one of which—Drosophila rarotongae sp. nov.—is described here as new; it is endemic to Rarotonga and found only in montane forest. Drosophila suzukii was absent. An unusual species close to Drosophila funebris was collected (one female); various measures revealed its morphological difference from Afrotropical and Palaearctic D. funebris specimens. Possible synonymies between Scaptodrosophila bryani and S. anuda, and between S. concolor and S. marjoryae were discovered and are discussed. Drosophila pallidifrons was found among D. sulfurigaster in very low frequency (1%).
