The species of Diheterospora attacking bdelloid rotifers have been compared with Diheterospora chlamydosporia and found to be different in a number of important characteristics. These include the consistent presence of aphanophialides, proliferation of phialides and aphanophialides to form polyphialides, containment of the conidial mass in a hydrophobic membrane, reduction or elimination of the verticillate arrangement of the conidiogenous cells, and presence of a large oil droplet in each conidium. It is considered that these differences are sufficient to separate the rotifer parasites from both Diheterospora and Verticillium. Accordingly, a new genus, Rotiferophthora, is erected to accommodate the 17 species recognized in this group of fungi. Thirteen rotifer parasites previously described under Diheterospora, Verticillium, or Acrostalagmus are transferred to Rotiferophthora, and four new species of Rotiferophthora are described. Key words: Diheterospora, Rotiferophthora, endoparasite, rotifer.

Bdelloid Rotifers

Haptospora is described as a new genus of the Hyphomycetes endoparasitic in rotifers. The genus is distinguished by conidia that have a doughnut-shaped modification at the base. This structure appears to have a function in lodging the conidium in the mastax of the host. The conidiogenous cells are phialides, each with a membranous collarette. Two species of Hyphomycetes, described previously as Phialophora endoparasitica and P. tribrachispora, are transferred to Haptospora, and a third species, Haptospora appendiculata, is described as new. Key words: Phialophora, Haptospora, endoparasite, rotifer.

Kengyilia gobicola is a new taxon from west China. It has P, S, and Y genomes different from Roegneria and Elymus, and is closely related to Roegneria and Agropyron. In this paper, the morphological characteristics of this taxon have been described in Latin, and the results of karyotype analysis are reported. Key words: new genus, new species, Kengyilia gobicola.

A new genus, Furculomyces, is established for two Australian species of trichomycete gut fungi that live in the hindguts of aquatic Chironomidae (Diptera) larvae. The new genus is based primarily on the sexual apparatus consisting of a swollen pair of homothallic conjugants that resemble a wishbone, from which develops a slightly bent biconical zygospore. The type species, Furculomyces boomerangus comb, no v. (basionym: Smittium boomerangum) has been found in Victorian and Tasmanian midges, whereas the new species, Furculomyces westraliensis, is from a midge species in southern Western Australia. These species support other evidence that native Australian gut fungi have a provincial distribution. Key words: Australian, Chironomidae, fungi, Furculomyces, Harpellales, Trichomycetes.

A new genus and new species of leucosiid crab, Coralliocryptus caementa n. sp., is described from Indo-West Pacific coralreefs in the Ryukyu Islands (Japan), Vanuatu, and Comoros. Although the new genus exhibits superficial resemblance to theIphiculidae in having prominent vertical spiniform teeth on the cutting edges of the chela and the female abdomen consisting offreely articulated somites, the deeply excavated female sterno-abdominal cavity, which is completely covered by the abdomen,unambiguously places this unique taxon in the Leucosiidae. The highly eroded, coral-rubble mimic carapace suggests somedegree of relationship between Coralliocryptus and some other ebaliinine genera, e.g., Alox Tan & Ng, 1995, Oreophorus Rüppel, 1830, Oreotlos Ihle, 1918.Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Leucosiidae, new genus, new species, Indo-West Pacific

The transfer of two species renders Iolania Kirkaldy, 1902 absent from Australia and endemic to Hawaii. Iolania clypealis Muir, 1931 is transferred into Leades Jacobi, 1928, resulting in the new combination Leades clypealis (Muir). The new genus Yamirrina gen. nov. is created to accommodate Iolania vittipennis Muir, 1931, which leads to the new combination Yamirrina vittipennis (Muir). Another species, Yamirrina concolor sp. nov., is added to the genus. The hitherto monotypic genus Leades is revised, and with the addition of four new species, Leades grandis sp. nov., L. ginginensis sp. nov., L. centralis sp. nov., L. warro sp. nov., and with L. clypealis and L. rufinus Jacobi, 1928, Leades now contains six species in total. Leades and Yamirrina are endemic to Australia. Redescriptions are provided for Leades rufinus, L. clypealis and Y. vittipennis. Identification keys to the genera of Australian Cixiini, and to all species of Leades and Yamirrina, are presented and host plant relationships are discussed. Key words: Homoptera, Fulgoroidea, planthopper, south-west Australia, Hawaii, host plant
