The type species of Sciniatosporium Kalchbr. (1866), Stigmina Sacc. (1880), Thyrostroma Höhnel (1911), Marcosia Syd. (1916), and Thyrostromella Syd. (1924) non Höhnel, are considered to be congeneric. The name Sciniatosporium has priority. A revised generic diagnosis is given to include the type species of these generic names. Three fungi which were originally placed in Coryneum Nees ex Fr., two in Sporidesmium Link ex Fr., and three in Stegonsporium Corda, together with M. ulei Syd., the type species of Marcosia, and most species recently disposed in Stigmina, are transferred to Sciniatosporium. A new species, Sciniatosporium verrucosum, is described.

AbstractThe genus Hirsuticyclus Neubauer, Xing & Jochum, 2019 was the first record of an exceptionally preserved land snail with dense periostracal hairs from mid-Cretaceous Kachin (Burmese) amber. Here we document four newly-discovered shells from Kachin amber, one belonging to the type species Hirsuticyclus electrum Neubauer, Xing & Jochum, 2019 and the remaining three shells belonging to a new species, Hirsuticyclus canaliculatus sp. nov. Well-preserved morphological characteristics of these two species could be clearly demonstrated under light microscopy combined with modern micro-CT scans with computer 3D reconstructions. Our new material of the type species amends the generic diagnosis based on a better-preserved shell including the peristome and operculum. The new species shows distinctive shell characteristics such as numerous spiral keels and a flaring, folded peristome interrupted by two canals. These excellently preserved fossils contribute to our understanding of the morphological diversity and evolution of these ancient members of cyclophoroids.

A new species of the genus Angullozetes (Oribatida: Scheloribatidae) is described from New Zealand. Angullozetes. arilloi sp. nov. differs from the type species, A. rostratus Hammer, 1967 by the smaller body length, the presence of four pairs of notogastral porose areas and the absence of aggenital setae. A revised generic diagnosis of Angullozetes is presented.

A New Species

A new pagurid hermit crab species is assigned to the genus Kumepagurus Komai & Osawa, 2012, previously represented only by the type species, K. cavernicolus Komai & Osawa, 2012, known only from a marine cave on Ryukyu Islands, northwestern Pacific. The assignment is made because of the lack of an accessory tooth on the maxilliped 3 ischium, the operculiform right chela, the presence of two distal corneous claws on the left chela fixed finger, the simple pereopods 4 and the development and structure of the male sexual tubes on both coxae of pereopods 5, all characteristic to the type species of the genus. However, in contrast to K. cavernicolus, K. kaikata n. sp. lacks pleurobranchs on the thoracomeres 5 and 6, and in this regard, Kumepagurus is unusual in the family Paguridae. The generic diagnosis of Kumepagurus is emended to accommodate the new species, which is readily distinguished from K. cavernicolus by the proportionately shorter antennular and antennal peduncles and the right cheliped structure and ornamentation, in addition to the difference in the gill number.

A new species of alpheid shrimp, Thuylamea shiranui, is described and illustrated on the basis of five specimens from Yatsushiro Sea, western Kyushu, Japan. It is closely related to T. camelus Nguyên, 2001, the type species of the heretofore monotypic genus Thuylamea Nguyên, 2001, known from South China, Vietnam and Singapore. The complete lack of submedian posterodorsal crests on the carapace and the relatively long antennular peduncle distinguish the new species from T. camelus. The generic diagnosis of Thuylamea is emended to accommodate the new species.

The original diagnosis of the genus Aquilapollenites is inadequate. It is suitably emended here and a revised generic diagnosis is given. The validity of the genera Aquilapollenites and Pentapollenites is examined. It is concluded that Aquilapollenites has seniority over Pentapollenites.The holotypes of the type species Aquilapollenites quadrilobus and A. trialatus have been lost. These two species are redescribed in detail and their neotypes selected. A. formosus is described as a new species from the Upper Cretaceous Oldman Formation of Alberta.

Xiqilliba Kramer is revised, and a new species, Xiqilliba sakakibarai sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The type species of the genus, Xiqilliba bellator Kramer, is redescribed. The new species can be differentiated from X. bellator by the morphology of the male genitalia, especially by: (1) shorter quadrangular pygofer with bifurcated apical lobe; (2) long and slender style with strong basal curvature; (3) enlarged aedeagus with two pairs of apical processes; and (4) anal tube with pair of short processes of rounded apices. A generic diagnosis and redescription are provided, as well as illustrations of Xiqilliba species.

A newSpiogaleaspecies is described from South-east Brazil. The specimens were collected in muddy bottoms during a large survey (15–3000 m) in southern Brazil. This genus comprised, up to now, only one species described from Capbreton Canyon (Bay of Biscay). The new species differs from the type-species, mostly in the morphology of the prostomial chitinous plate, a character restricted to the genusSpiogalea. With this new species, the generic diagnosis of the genus was amended.

A second species of the pagurid genus Enneophyllus McLaughlin, 1997, E. ecarina n. sp., is described and illustrated on the basis of two specimens collected from the upper bathyal depths off Amami-ohshima Island, Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan. The new species is immediately distinguished from the sole known congener, E. spinirostris McLaughlin, 1997, from the Banda Sea, Indonesia, by the non-operculiform right chela and fewer ventral spiniform setae of the ambulatory dactyli. The type species of Enneophillus, E. spinirostris, was represented only by the male holotype, and examination of the female paratype of this new species enables documentation of female characteristics in the generic diagnosis. Like E. spinirostris, the new species inhabits scaphopod shells.

Parapachymorpha is one of eight genera within the tribe Medaurini of subfamily Clitumninae (Phasmatidae). It was established by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1893), with the type species Parapachymorpha nigra by subsequent designation of Kirby (1904), from Myanmar. Species of this genus are widely distributed in oriental tropics (Laos, China, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia), with only 11 known species in the world (Brock et al. 2018, Ho 2017). Species of the genus Parapachymorpha can be recognized by following characters (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1893;1907, Henmemann & Conle 2008, Ho 2017): 1) body robust in female and slender in male with long leg in relation to the length; 2) body surface of female granulose or spinose; 3) mesonotum of female more and less expanded posteriorly; 4) abdominal tergites lacking expanded prostero–lateral angles in both sexes; 5) laminal supraanalis undeveloped in female; 6) semi–tergite of male irregularly rectangular, with an additional finger­–like ventro–apical appendix on the lower margin and reduced or absent; 7) egg capsule oval to oblong and covered with a raised net–like structure in lateral view; 8) micropylar plate oval; 9) operculum concave or convex. In the present study, we describe additional species, Parapachymorpha minuta sp. nov. from Laos, with photographs of both sexes of adults and egg.
