The world fauna of 28 leafhopper species living in moss or leaf litter (formerly subfamily Myerslopiinae) belong to 3 unrelated tribes: (1) Evansiolini (subfamily Megophthalminae) - 3 species of Evansiola Metcalf from Juan Fernández Is (Chile); (2) Sagmatiini, trib. nov. (subfamily Euacanthellinae) - one species of Paulianiana Evans from Madagascar, 3 new species of Sagmation, gen. nov. from Australia and New Caledonia, and 6 species (5 new) of Myerslopella Evans from Australia; (3) true Myerslopiini - 5 species of Myerslopia Evans from Chile and New Zealand and 10 species of Pemmation, gen. nov. from New Zealand. Myerslopiini are placed in the new family Myerslopiidae, exhibiting a combination of cicadoid and cercopoid features not found in other Membracoidea. Keys are presented to the genera and species of Sagmatiini, and a phylogeny of the families of Membracoidea is proposed based on 35 synapomorphies.

The braconid wasp genus Diolcogaster Ashmead is revised for the Australasian region, and is recorded from New Zealand and New Caledonia for the first time. A key to species is presented, the relationships within the Microgastrinae and among species-groups of the genus, the size of the world fauna, the biology and host relationships, and the distribution of Australasian species are discussed. The connexus-group sensu Nixon is expanded and redefined to include two monotypic, non-Australasian groups (D. ippis Nixon and D. reales Nixon), while the spretus-group sensu Nixon is expanded to include the monotypic group for D. coenonymphae (Watanabe) from Japan. Twenty-six species are recognised from Australasia:D. adiastola, sp. nov., D. alkingara, sp. nov., D. ashmeadi, sp. nov., D. dichromus, sp. nov., D. eclectes (Nixon), D. euterpus (Nixon), D. hadrommatus, sp. nov., D. harrisi, sp. nov., D. iqbali, sp. nov., D. lucindae, sp. nov., D. masoni, sp. nov., D. merata, sp. nov., D. muzaffari, sp. nov., D. naumanni, sp. nov., D. newguineaensis, sp. nov., D. nixoni, sp. nov., D. notopecktos, sp. nov., D. perniciosus(Wilkinson), D. rixosus (Wilkinson), D. robertsi, sp. nov., D. sons (Wilkinson), D. tearae (Wilkinson), D. tropicalus, sp. nov., D. vulpinus (Wilkinson), D. walkerae, sp. nov. and D. yousufi, sp. nov.

Species assigned to the anopsobiine centipede genera Anopsobius Silvestri, 1899, and Dichelobius Attems, 1911, are widely distributed on fragments of the Gondwanan supercontinent, including temperate and tropical Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, the Cape region of South Africa, and southern South America. Phylogenetic relationships between Australasian and other Gondwanan Anopsobiinae are inferred based on parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses (via direct optimisation) of sequence data for five markers: nuclear ribosomal 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA, mitochondrial ribosomal 12S rRNA and 16S RNA, and the mitochondrial protein-coding cytochrome c oxidase subunit I. New molecular data are added for Anopsobius from South Africa and New Zealand, Dichelobius from New Caledonia, and a new species from Queensland, Australia, Dichelobius etnaensis, sp. nov. The new species is based on distinctive morphological and molecular data. The molecular phylogenies indicate that antennal segmentation in the Anopsobiinae is a more reliable taxonomic character than is spiracle distribution. The former character divides the Gondwanan clade into a 17-segmented group (Dichelobius) and a 15-segmented group (Anopsobius). Confinement of the spiracles to segments 3, 10 and 12 has at least two origins in the Gondwanan clade. The area cladogram for Dichelobius (Queensland (Western Australia + New Caledonia)) suggests a relictual distribution pruned by extinction.

Aquatic Insect Larvae

New Zealand, like other regions of the world, has now been shown to have a diverse and rich assortment of Trichomycetes (Zygomycotina). Seven of the 14 species of Harpellales we found in aquatic insect larvae are known from other land areas. The remaining seven species, consisting of six Harpellales and one Amoebidiales, are new and possibly endemic. A new genus, Austrosmittium, from Chironomidae larvae is established, with two species, A. kiwiorum and A. norinsulare. The other new species are Glotzia plecopterorum (in Plecoptera), Paramoebidium bibrachium (Amoebidiales, in Ephemeroptera), Pennella asymmetrica (in Simuliidae), and Smittium rarum and Stachylina minima (in Chironomidae). All of the new species were found either on North Island or South Island, but not both. We also report the presence on South Island of two widespread species of marine trichomycetes (Eccrinales), Enteromyces callianassae and Taeniella carcini, in anomuran and brachyuran crustaceans.

The Fannia carbonaria-subgroup belongs to the Fannia carbonaria-group Chillcott, 1961. The world fauna of this subgroup is reviewed, the diagnostic features of the subgroup are redefined, and a key to the males of the known species is given. Two new species from China are described: F. dorsovittata Wang sp. nov. and F. subfuscitibia Wang sp. nov.. To facilitate comparisons of the species, Fannia corvina (Verrall), Fannia imperatoria Nishida and Fannia xiaoi Fan are redescribed. Geographic distributions of the species of the subgroup are updated. The systematic position and distribution patterns of the F. carbonaria-subgroup are discussed.
