The Family

The three species described by Signoret in the genus Spondyliaspis Sign. belong to two genera. As a result Scenitopsylla Tuthill & Taylor becomes a junior synonym of Spondyliaspis, two of Signoret's species are referred to Cardiaspina Crawf., and a new genus (Glycaspis) is erected for species assigned to Spondyliaspis by Schwarz, Froggatt, and other authors. Another new genus (Hyalinaspis) is erected for Cardiaspis rubra Frogg., and Uhleria Crawf, is considered a junior synonym of Lasiopsylla Frogg. Because Thea Scott was preoccupied, a new name, Phellopsylla, is proposed for the genus containing species heretofore known under the name Thea. Psylla lidgetti Mask. is considered to be correctly placed in the genus Psylla Geoff.; Psylla subfasciata Er. in the new genus Hyalinaspis; Aphalara leptospermi Frogg. in Eucalyptolyma Frogg. Ascelis(?) multitudinea Tepper, which was referred to Trioza Forst. by Maskell, is now placed in the family Cecidomyidae (Diptera).

The generic classification of millipede associated Heterozerconidae in the Oriental region is revised. The genus Allozercon Vitzthum is re-diagnosed and Asioheterozercon Fain is designated as an subjective junior synonym of Allozercon. Philippinozercon gen. nov., with the type species P. makilingensis sp. nov., is described for all instars. This genus may be endemic for the Philippines, but is quite widespread in that country. All immature instars are described, making this the second species of Heterozerconidae known for all instars. The morphology of the immatures is compared with that of immatures of the temperate species Narceoheterozercon ohioensis and unnamed species from Brazil and Thailand. All immatures were collected from millipede frass and litter, never from millipedes. Adults are associated with millipedes in the family Trigoniulidae (Spirobolida).

Nomen Novum

Abstract. Kozur et al. (1996) reported and described some well-preserved Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian) Radiolaria from central Nevada and established several new taxa, among them a new genus Noblella, assigned to the Family Protoentactiniidae Kozur, Mostler &amp; Repetski, 1996. Dr J. K. Page kindly informed us that the genus Noblella already was established for an amphibian genus, Family Brachycephalidae, type species N. peruviana (Noble), byBarbour (1930; p. 81). Therefore, the genus name Noblella Kozur, Mostler &amp; Repetski, 1996 non! Noblella Barbour, 1930, is invalid because of homonymy. We here replace this junior homonym with Paulanoblella Kozur &amp; Repetski, nomen novum.Genus Paulanoblella Kozur &amp; Repetski, nomen novumDerivation. The new name is in honour of noted Radiolaria researcher, Dr Paula Noble, Reno, Nevada.Diagnosis. Unchanged (see Kozur et al., 1996, pp. 255, 266).Holotype. Unchanged (see Kozur et al., 1996, pp. 255, 266).

During recent studies of phylogenetic relationships within Eriphioidea (sensu Ng et al. 2008), we recovered molecularevidence that the genus Platyxanthus A. Milne-Edwards, 1863, was not monophyletic. This prompted detailedmorphological examination of the group, which confirmed that clear differences in characteristics of the carapace, firstmale pleopod, antennae, antennules, epistome, abdomen, and thoracic sternum serve to separate the species ofPlatyxanthus into three distinct groups. Comparison of the type material of Peloeus cokeri (Rathbun, 1930), (formerlyPlatyxanthus cokeri) to Peloeus armatus Eydoux & Souleyet, 1842, indicated that P. cokeri is a junior synonym of P.armatus and that Gordonoxanthus Števčić, 2011 (type species Platyxanthus cokeri Rathbun, 1930) is thus a juniorsynonym of Peloeus. Danielethus n. gen. is described to accommodate Platyxanthus patagonicus A. Milne-Edwards,1863, and Platyxanthus crenulatus A. Milne-Edwards, 1863. A key to the known genera and species of the family Platyxanthidae Guinot, 1977 is provided.

Recently, Kocyan & Wiland-Szymańska (2016) have published a thorough research article on one of the outstanding members of the family Hypoxidaceae on the Seychelles, which resulted in the raise of a new genus (Friedmannia Kocyan & Wiland-Szymańska 2016: 60) to accommodate the former Curculigo seychellensis Bojer ex Baker (1877: 368). However, it has turned out that the name Friedmannia Chantanachat & Bold (1962: 45) already exists in literature for a green alga, which renders the new hypoxid genus illegitimate (Melbourne Code; McNeill et al. 2012). Therefore, we assign a new generic epithet to Curculigo seychellensis.

This paper provides the first faunal checklist for the family Cicadidae (Insecta: Hemiptera) from Mindanao, Philippines, comprising 17 species belonging to 13 genera. A new species, Chremistica kyoungheeae sp. nov., is described. Platypleura elizabethae Lee and Nelcyndana tener (Stål) are newly added to the cicada fauna of Mindanao. Dokuma Distant syn. nov. is treated as a junior synonym of Oncotympana Stål, which is redefined to include four species: O. pallidiventris Stål, O. viridicincta Stål, O. nigristigma (Walker) comb. nov., and an undescribed Oncotympana sp., all from the Philippines. Dokuma consobrina Distant syn. nov. is synonymized with O. viridicincta. A new genus, Sonata gen. nov., is described to include the following species previously placed in Oncotympana: Sonata fuscata (Distant), Sonata maculaticollis (De Motschulsky), Sonata ella (Lei & Chou), Sonata expansa (Walker), Sonata mahoni (Distant), Sonata melanoptera (Distant), Sonata obnubila (Distant), Sonata stratoria (Distant), and Sonata virescens (Distant) (nine species comb. nov.). The genus Champaka Distant stat. rev. is resurrected from junior synonymy with Platylomia Stål to include the following species previously placed in the Platylomia spinosa group: Champaka spinosa (Fabricius), Champaka abdulla (Distant), Champaka viridimaculata (Distant), Champaka nigra (Distant), Champaka virescens (Distant), Champaka meyeri (Distant), Champaka wallacei (Beuk), Champaka celebensis Distant, Champaka aerata (Distant), Champaka constanti (Lee), and Champaka maxima (Lee) (eleven species comb. nov.). The genus Nelcyndana Distant, 1906 is transferred to Cicadettini from Taphurini. A key to the species of Oncotympana and information on geographic distributions of the 17 Mindanao species are provided.

Yin (1974, p. 25) introduced a new genus, Quadratia for a group of Middle Triassic bivalves in the family Myophoriidae. The type species designated by him is Quadratia quadrata Yin, 1974 [p. 25, pl. 1, figs. 3 (syntype, holotype in original text, right valve), 4a–c (syntype, holotype in original text, left valve), 5 (syntype, paratype in original text); text-fig. 3], the type stratum and locality of which are the Qingyan Formation at Qingyan of Guiyang, Guizhou Province, Southwest China (see also Fang et al., 2009, p. 56, Figs. 16.18–16.21). But this genus name has been preoccupied by Quadratia Muir-Wood and Cooper, 1960 (p. 161, pl. 39, figs. 1–13), which is a member of the Productellidae in the Brachiopoda, with Quadratia hirsutiformis (Walcott, 1884, p. 133, pl. 2, figs. 10, 10a) as the type species, which comes from the White Pine shale of Mississippian age at Applegate Canyon of White Pine County, Nevada, USA. As required by ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Fourth edition; Ride et al., 1999) Article 60.3, I replace Quadratia Yin, 1974, with Guizhoumyophoria, new name, based on the same type species, Quadratia quadrata Yin. The new name is derived from Guizhou Province where the genus occurred.

A new genus is established for Neptunus (Achelous) dubia Laurie, 1906, a species that ranges from the eastern Indian Ocean to the Philippines and French Polynesia. This species is probably closest to Cycloachelous Ward, 1942, with regard to the carapace shape and form of the chelipeds, but has a very unique adult male sternal medial groove with two prominent deep depressions on sternite 8 in the sterno-abdominal cavity to accommodate distinctive male first gonopods, that differs from all known portunid genera. Portunus (Cycloachelous) yoronensis Sakai, 1974, described from Japan, is confirmed to be a junior synonym of N. (A.) dubia Laurie, 1906.

First Time

A new genus of the family Sparassidae is described from Madagascar: Thunberga gen. nov. It can be distinguished from other genera of the Heteropodinae by its different cheliceral dentition and eye arrangement as well as by its uniquely dotted prosoma. Four species are transferred to the new genus: T. hildebrandti (Järvi, 1912) comb. nov. (from Rhitymna Simon, 1897a), T. malagassa (Strand, 1907) comb. nov. (from Olios Walckenaer, 1837), T. nossibeensis (Strand, 1907) comb. nov. (from Olios), T. septifer (Strand. 1908) comb. nov. (from Olios, elevated to species rank). T. hildebrandti comb. nov. is recognised as junior synonym of T. nossibeensis comb. nov. One species is described for the first time: Thunberga greta spec. nov. (female, Madagascar). The systematic placement within the family and the character “anterior epigynal pocket” are discussed.
