AbstractA new species of microconchid tubeworm, Microconchus cravenensis is described from the Mississippian Cracoean reefs of North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Despite the fact that some other microconchid species could have attained large tube length, the new species possesses the largest recorded diameter (to 7.7 mm) of the planispirally-coiled (attachment) tube and the largest recorded aperture diameter (8.3 mm) in the helically uncoiled portion. Thus, with respect to these features, Microconchus cravenensis n. sp. is the largest and most robust microconchid species recognized so far. At present, it is only known from the Craven Reef Belt of North Yorkshire, where it attached to corals and possibly bivalve shells, and was preyed upon by small durophagous animals, as indicated by repaired injuries preserved on one of the tubes.UUID: http://zoobank.org/2ba8f87b-ec1c-4bb3-8615-115e7a527376

A New Species

The discovery of the arms of the disparid inadunate crinoid Ramseyocrinus Bates from the Arenig (Lower Ordovician) of Morocco extends the geographic range of this genus, previously only known from south Wales, United Kingdom, and the Montagne Noire, France. It is probable that the Moroccan specimen represents a new species. This is the first Lower Ordovician crinoid to be described from Africa.

A New Species

Two mostly white terrestrial planarians, about 7 mm long, found in a garden in Yorkshire, UK, are described. They have a single pair of eyes and both specimens are fully mature, with a single pair of ovaries, several testes, a conical penis papilla and a genito-intestinal duct, characters of the genus Microplana, but differ in color and size from other species of the genus and are described as Microplana edwardsi sp. nov.

A New Species

Deprea zamorae Barboza & S. Leiva (Solanaceae), a new species from southern Ecuador (Loja and Zamora–Chinchipe), is described and illustrated. It is most similar to D. cyanocarpa, but differs by the presence of minute teeth on the calyx, the ratio of the corolla tube length to the lobe length, the orientation of the fruiting pedicels, and the color and shape of the fruiting calyx. Its distribution does not overlap with that of any other Deprea species. A key for all Deprea species is provided.

A New Species

The genus Psyllaphorura is reported from China for the first time. A new species, Psyllaphorura jiangsuensis sp. n. as the eighth species of the genus, is described from Nanjing, Southeast China. It is most similar to the Russian species Psyllaphorura martynovae (Stebaeva, 1985) in many respects. However, it can be distinguished from the latter by number of vesicles in the postantennal organ, number of setae on ventral tube, length ratio of unguiculus to unguis, absence of unguiculus basal lamella and maximum body length. A key to all of the species of Psyllaphorura is provided.

This article is devoted to a review of specimens identified as belonging to the genus Maraenobiotus Mrázek, 1893 reported for Bulgaria from the Rhodope and Rila Mountains under the name of Maraenobiotus vejdovskyi truncatus Gurney, 1932. Closer examination of the armature of the caudal rami and other morphological characteristics revealed significant differences between the specimens from these disjunctive populations and M. truncatus that had been originally described by Gurney (1932) from the United Kingdom. Based on these differences, the population from the Western Rhodope Mountains is described here as a new species, M. rhodopensis n. sp., and the population from the Rila Mountains is described here as M. rilaensis n. sp.

A new species Spiochaetopterus nonatoi is described from the south-eastern coast of Brazil, the type locality being Flamengo Bight, 6-m depth (23°30′S 45°06′W). This species is distinguishable from already erected species of the same genus by the following characteristics: oculate specimens of large size; maximum segments, 197 (N=15); maximum tube length, 45 cm; maximum body length, 20 cm; orange coloration of the fore part (peristomium and segment 1) and of the ventral shield on segments 6–7; shape of the specialized enlarged cutting seta on A4 with an obliquely truncated distal end; this slightly concave section is heart-shaped and clearly asymmetrical; segments B1 and B2 with one lobe on the neuropodia. This additional description in the genus Spiochaetopterus confirms the limited geographical area of each species in this genus. In spite of the probable ability of planktonic larvae of Spiochaetopterus to disseminate throughout the Atlantic Ocean, the benthic adults of each species cover only a limited geographical area. In particular, the stem species S. costarum loses its cosmopolitan character.
