The Canadian National Collection (OTTAWA) has one of the largest, if not the largest collection of neotropical Amiseginae in the world. In a sample of about 700 unidentified specimens sent to me by Lubomir Masher from this collection there were many new taxa, including representatives of a new genus. In addition, material was borrowed from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University (J. M. Carpenter), Cambridge, Massachusetts, the American Entomological Institute, Gainesville, Florida (H. Townes, GAINESVILLE), and the U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. (K. V. Krombein, WASHINGTON). The new species of Adelphe are described separately (Kimsey 1986). The remaining new taxa are included below.The following abbreviations are used: F = flagellomere, MOD = midocellus diameter, PD = puncture diameter and T = gastral tergum.

New Genus And Species

In preparation for upcoming studies, several new taxa of Australian Erotylinae (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) need to be described to make names available. New genera and species in Dacnini and Megalodacnini are described. Echinothallis banderbearella, new genus and species (Dacnini); Microdacne, new genus, with four new species (Dacnini), M. gloriousa, M. lamingtonia, M. nardia, M. styxia; and Episcaphula (Tropidoscaphula) megalodacnoides, new species (Megalodacnini). Variation of female terminalia and other characters in several genera are discussed regarding the monophyly and generic diversity of Dacnini.

A review of all snailfishes from New Zealand waters deposited in the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Ton-garewa showed that six genera and at least 18 species occur within the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. Of these,one genus and 16 species are new. These new taxa, described here, are Aetheliparis taurocanis n.g., n.sp. from near Moa Seamount at 731–869 m, Careproctus narilobus from the Chatham Plateau at about 1830 m, C. pellucicauda andParaliparis pseudokreffti from the Bounty Trough at 2786–2821 m, P. exilis from the southeast Chatham slope, P. free-borni and P. pearcyi from the northeast Chatham Rise at 1044–1050 and 1218 m respectively, Osteodiscus rhepostomiasfrom the Bounty Trough at 2786–2821 m, Psednos argyrogaster from the east Chatham Rise at 1015–1037 m, P. chathamifrom the Chatham Rise at 1335–1340 m, P. cryptocaeca from off the Otago Canyons at 118–121 m, P. longiventris fromthe Chatham Rise at 1054–1058 m, P. microstomus from Reinga Ridge at 1158–1230 m, P. nemnezi from the Pegasus Can-yon and south Chatham Rise at 862–960 m, P. platyoperculosus from Chatham Rise at 1141–1163 m, and P. struthersifrom the southern Havre Trough at 1411–1428 m. The two previously known species from New Zealand waters are Care-proctus novaezelandiae Andriashev and Notoliparis kermadecensis (Nielsen). In addition, several specimens of Parali-paris and Psednos could not be identified or described because of their poor condition, but do not seem to be the same asany of the 18 described species. Partial descriptions are provided for them. This paper describes the new taxa, reviews the known taxa, and provides keys to their identification.

A New Species

In the past, various authors have placed many species in genera that are now understood to be restricted to other regions of the world. Thus, in Africa, species of soft scale (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) with this problem are those in Ceronema Maskell, a genus probably restricted to Australia; Ceroplastodes Cockerell, probably restricted to the New World; and Inglisia Maskell, which is restricted to New Zealand. The placement of these species is reviewed here. Four of the known Ceronema species are placed in three new monotypic genera, Neoceronema gen. nov., Illovococcus gen. nov. and Bugandacoccus gen. nov., as Neoceronema africanum (Macfie) comb. nov., N. brachystegiae (Hall) comb. nov., Illovococcus mobilis (Brain) comb. nov. and Bugandacoccus gowdeyi (Newstead) comb. nov.; Ceroplastodes ritchiei Laing and C. zavatarii Bellio are transferred to Drepanococcus Williams & Watson, as D. ritchiei (Laing) comb. nov. and D. zavattarii (Bellio), comb. nov., and Inglisia grevilliae Hall, I. pluvialis Hodgson and I. theobromae Newstead are transferred to Cryptinglisia Cockerell as C. grevilliae (Hall) comb. nov., C. pluvialis (Hodgson) comb. nov. and C. theobromae (Newstead) comb. nov. Keys are provided to all Drepanococcus and Cryptinglisia species, and all the African species discussed are illustrated. In addition, another new genus of African Coccidae is described, Testudovestis gen. nov., to take a new species somewhat similar to Eucalymnatus Cockerell: T. africana spec. nov. In addition, a new species of Coccus L.: Coccus moorei, spec. nov., and a new species of mealybug (Heliococcus tinglei spec. nov., Pseudococcidae), are described, both from mainland Africa. The lecanodiaspid Lecanodiaspis zygophylli Hodgson is also recorded from Nigeria for the first time.

Desmoinesian strata of the lower Bishop Cap Formation in Vinton Canyon, northern Franklin Mountains, west Texas, contain a rich gastropod fauna, in general resembling that of the upper Flechado Formation in north-central New Mexico. Distinctive elements of the Bishop Cap fauna include two new genera and five new species. Each species is represented by 30 or more specimens, sufficient to document ontogenetic change and intraspecific variability. The new taxa described here include the murchisonioid Altadema convexa new genus and species; the pseudozygopleurids Microptychis insolita new species, Trepsipleura chordanodosa new genus and species, and T. nodosa new species; and the orthonemid Hermosanema carinatum new species.

Examination of new earthworm material from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, revealed the presence of five new species (one with two subspecies) of the Pheretima group of genera, family Megascolecidae. A new genus, Begemius, is erected to contain the new taxa (B. gavini, jamiesoni jamiesoni, j. hornensis, lockerbiensis, raveni and yorkensis), also the species cyclops, monoperus and queenslandicus which were previously accommodated in the genus Amynthas. A key is provided to the eight species in the genus and the Australian members are described. Other new pheretimoid material from Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales consists of allochthonous species only, representing new locality records and including four species, Amynthas gracilis, A. morrisi, Metaphire bahli and Pithemera bicincta, new to the Australian list. These species and the other eight allochthonous species of the Pheretima group reported from Australia, Amynthas corticis, A. minimus, A. rodericensis, Metaphire californica, M. houletti, Pheretima darnleiensis, Polypheretima elongata and P. taprobanae are reviewed, each is diagnosed and a key is provided for their identification.

Thoracican cirripedes from the Cretaceous (Albian– Maastrichtian) of Europe (UK, France, Germany) and North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia) are described taxonomicallyand significantly aug - ment the diversity previously known from these regions. The new taxa include: a new zeugmatole - padid, Subsecolepas gen. nov. (type species: S. holtwilsoni sp. nov.), three new cretiscalpellid genera, Witherscalpellum gen. nov., Jagtscalpellum gen. nov. and Striascalpellum gen. nov., including the new species J. africanum, J. spinosum, S. bromleyi , S. barringtonensis and S. elegans and a new scalpellid of the genus Regioscalpellum , R. kennedyi. In addition, the Virgiscalpellinae subfam. nov. includes two new genera, Collinslepas and Virgilepas, with the new species C. aitlaminensis, C. robustus , C. tunisiensis, V. aboudaensis, V. peakei and V. hancocki. Paedomorphic evolution in the sub-family led to forms with reduced numbers of capitular plates. Five new species of Virgiscalpellum are also erected: V. mhrilensis sp. nov., V. multilineatum sp. nov., V. truncatum sp. nov., V. laevis sp. nov. and V. sussexiense sp. nov., as well as a new Proverruca, P. anglica. The Eoverrucidae fam. nov. is erected for the genus Eoverruca, for which two new species, E. aubensis (middle Albian, France) and E. symmetrica (upper Campanian, UK) are described. The record from the Albian takes the origin of the verrucomorph cirripedes back 25 million years. Furthermore, two new species of Brachylepas, B. thieli and B. hantonensis, extend the range of the genus down into the Cenomanian, and a new genus of brachylepadid, Fallaxlepas, is erected, with the type species Pollicipes fallax Darwin , 1851. The stratigraphical distribution of Cretaceous cirripede genera is tabulated and demonstrates a remarkable increase in diversity through the Albian to mid-Campanian, above which there is a minor decrease. The Cretaceous– Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary saw the extinction of 15 cirripede genera.

The genera Deltaspis Audinet-Serville, 1834 and Muscidora, Thomson, 1864 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Trachyderini) are revised. Two new genera Neoxoplus gen. nov. and Deltaspiopsis gen. nov., are described. Two species previously included in Deltaspis [D. cruentus, (LeConte, 1862), and D. ivae Beierl & Barchet-Beierl, 1999] are transferred to the new genus Neoxoplus with N. cruentus designated as the type species. Four other Deltaspis species [D. alutacea Bates, 1885, D. marginella Bates, 1891, D. nigripennis Bates, 1880, and D. tumacacorii (Knull, 1944)] are transferred to Muscidora Thomson, 1864. Two species [D. disparilis Bates, 1891, and D. variabilis Bates, 1891] are transferred to the new genus Deltaspiopsis with D. disparilis designated as type species, and the remaining species [D. moesta Bates, 1885, D. rubens Bates, 1885, and D. subopaca Chemsak & Linsley, 1982] are transferred to Crossidius LeConte, 1851. Keys to closely related genera, above mentioned genera and species along with illustrations of the available species in color are included. New species described include: Muscidora bezarki sp. nov. from south-central Mexico (Puebla, Oaxaca); Muscidora coriacea sp. nov. from southeastern Mexico (Oaxaca and Chiapas); Muscidora nigrescens clinei subsp. nov. (Jalisco); and Muscidora similis sp. nov. from western Mexico (Sinaloa and Sonora).
