More than 110 species of diatoms were identified from samples collected from Manitounuk Sound, Hudson Bay, in 1978. We presently deal with six genera, belonging to the family Naviculaceae; Diploneis (3 taxa), Gyrosigma (3 taxa), Pinnularia (18 taxa), Pleurosigma (4 taxa), Stauroneis (1 taxon), and Stenoneis (1 taxon).All the species were reevaluated and complete illustrated descriptions, biometric data, and worldwide distributions are given. Two new species and two varieties are described and a new combination is proposed.

The genus Anystipalpus Berlese, 1911, of uncertain prior placement in the superfamilies Ascoidea or Dermanyssoidea, is redescribed, based on reexamination of type and other material of the type-species, A. percicola Berlese, and of material representing Anystipalpus livshitsi (Eidelberg) new combination and two new species, A. labiduricola n. sp. and A. kazemii n. sp. Anystipalpus nataliae (Eidelberg) new combination and Anystipalpus ukrainicus (Sklyar) new combination are determined to be junior synonyms of A. percicola Berlese and A. livshitsi (Eidelberg), respectively, new synonymies. The genus is known thus far only from adult females phoretic under the elytra of carabid beetles and the tegmina of labidurid earwigs in Eurasia. The relationships between it and the closely related Antennoseius Berlese, 1916 and Vitzthumia Thor, 1930, are reviewed, and the options for the family level placement of these genera are reconsidered. Attention is given to some gnathosomatic attributes that are commonly overlooked in description of species of these closely related genera. Phoresy and the role of adult female morphs in the life history of these mites, as well as the extraordinary phoretic association of one species with earwigs are discussed.

New taxonomic data on the ground spiders of the family Gnaphosidae from Greece are presented. Two genera are proposed as new to science (Marjanus gen. n. and Lasophorus gen. n.) together with two new species (Lasophorus zakkak sp. n. and Lasophorus zografae sp. n.) and a new combination (Marjanus platnicki comb. nov.). Additionally the genus Turkozelotes Kovblyuk & Seyyar, 2009 is here rediagnosed and the female of the type species T. microb Kovblyuk & Seyyar, 2009 is described for the first time. The finding of the matching male of Setaphis mccowani Chatzaki & Russell-Smith, 2017 suggests the transfer of this species to Turkozelotes and hence the male of T. mccowani comb. nov. is described for the first time. Taxonomic affinities of these genera and species are discussed.

Terebellomorph polychaetes are reported from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps collected in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Two new species of Terebellidae,Neoamphitrite hydrothermalissp. nov. andStreblosoma kaiasp. nov., are described from hydrothermal vents of the western Pacific. These are the first terebellid species described from hydrothermal vents. New records from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps and new geographical records are presented for nine additional species belonging to Ampharetidae, Alvinellidae, Terebellidae and Trichobranchidae. A synoptic table with diagnostic characters for all species of the genusStreblosomaSars, 1872 is provided. Keys for all terebellomorph species currently known from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, respectively, are included. Additionally the new combinationNeoamphitrite pachyderma(Hutchings & Glasby, 1988) comb. nov. is proposed.

AbstractTwo new species are described: .Megalospora occidentalis Kantvilas from Western Australia, with solitary muriform ascospores; M. pulverata Kantvilas from Tasmania, with typically two-spored asci and bicellular ascospores. The new combination M. melanodermia var. galactocarpa (Zahlbr.) Kantvilas is proposed. Megalospora taylori Dodge, described from Tasmania, is a synonym of M. gompholoma subsp. fuscolineata Sipman. New records are reported for Megaloblastenia flavidoatra(Nyl.) Sipman (from Tasmania), .Megalospora disjuncta Sipman (from New South Wales and Queensland), and M. subtuberculosa (Knight) Sipman (from New South Wales). Additional data for Austroblastenia pupa Sipman, M. gompholomasubsp. fuscolineata Sipman and M. lopadioides Sipman, and a key for the family in Australia are presented. M. disjuncta Sipman is lectotypified. Biogeographical and ecological patterns are discussed briefly.

Sinopanorpa Cai & Hua, a new genus belonging to the family Panorpidae in Mecoptera, is established with Panorpa tincta Navas 1931 as its type species. A key to the four genera of Panorpidae is compiled to include the new genus. Two new species, Sinopanorpa digitiformis Huang & Hua and Sinopanorpa nangongshana Cai & Hua, are described and illustrated from the Oriental China. A key to the three species of the new genus is provided. Sinopanorpa tincta (Navas), a new combination transferred from the genus Panorpa Linnaeus, is re-described with a brief note on its biology.

The Mesembrinellidae (Diptera: Oestroidea) are a group of exclusively Neotropical flies, with 38 recognized species distributed in nine genera. A total of 11 of these species, present in seven genera, were known to occur in Colombia. Huascaromusca obscura Wolff, sp. nov. and H. cordillera Wolff & Ramos-Pastrana, sp. nov. are herein described and their male terminalia are illustrated. Based on a prior molecular study of the family, Giovanella carvalhoi Wolff et al., 2013 is transferred to Huascaromusca Townsend. A key to all known species of Huascaromusca is provided.

The study of two new species of Symphyla from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Scolopendrelloides congolensis n.sp. and Scolopendrelloides pseudocongolensis n.sp., has led to the detection of Scolopendrelloides Bagnall 1913 species currently misplaced under Hanseniella Bagnall 1913. Accordingly, it is proposed a new combination for six species originally described under Hanseniella: Scolopendrelloides angulosa (Hansen 1903), S. tenella (Ribaut 1914), S. producta (Ribaut 1914), S. dolosa (Ribaut 1914), S. graeca (Remy 1941) and S. elgolensis (Scheller 1952). An identification key to the species of Scolopendrelloides is given. A differential diagnostic for differencing Scolopendrelloides from Hanseniella and Scutigerella is also given, as well as a key to the genera of the family Scutigerellidae, mainly intended for observations using SEM.

The family Hahniidae is reported from Thailand for the first time. The genus Hexamatia gen. nov. and two new species, Hexamatia seekhaow gen. et sp. nov. and Hahnia ngai sp. nov., are described and illustrated. DNA sequences are provided for all the species reported here. The phylogenetic position of the novel genus Hexamatia gen. nov. and its relation to Hahnia are discussed. Based on these results, a new combination is proposed for Hexamatia senaria (Zhang, Li & Zheng, 2011) gen. et comb. nov. = Hahnia senaria. Known distribution of the species Hahnia saccata Zhang, Li & Zheng, 2011, originally described from China, is expanded. A brief review and notes on the taxonomy of the six-eyed hahniids are included.
