The new genus Tergoceracris consists of six new species; all are brachypterous, semi-arboreal and montane grasshoppers. They are distinguished from all other known neotropical acridoids by having exaggerated and vertically projecting furculae in the males. Two new species are from the Dominican Republic (Tergoceracris ocampensis n. sp. and Tergoceracris ebanoverde n. sp.) and four from Puerto Rico (Tergoceracris guajataca n. sp., Tergoceracris cerropunta n. sp., Tergoceracris cayey n. sp., and Tergoceracris luquillensis n. sp.).

This paper presents a new genus, two new species, and several new records of mites associated with insects and soil in Cuba. A new monotypic genus of Laelapidae, Acantholaelaps gen. nov., is described to accommodate a new species, A. strategus sp. nov., on the basis of adult female and male specimens collected on Strategus sarpedon (Burmeister) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) and Strategus surinamensis hirtus Sternberg (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). The other species recorded were Macrocheles merdarius (Berlese) (Macrochelidae), Asca quinquesetosa Wharton (Ascidae), Gaeolaelaps cubaensis sp. nov. (Laelapidae) and Pseudoparasitus missouriensis (Ewing) (Laelapidae).

This paper describes a new genus, two new species and new records of subterranean gastropods from the Sabinas and Álamos River, Coahuila, and the Nazas River, Durango, in northern Mexico. Phreatomascogosgregoigen. n. et sp. n. from Don Martín Basin, Coahuila, is described based on shells and opercula that show some morphological similarities with shells of Phreatodrobia Hershler & Longley, 1986 (Lithoglyphidae), which is a subterranean genus from neighboring area in Texas, United States. Conchologically, the new genus can be distinguished from Phreatodrobia and all other subterranean genera by a unique combination of characteristic shell morphology and opercula apomorphies. Balconorbissabinasensesp. n. (Cochliopidae) is the second species of this genus, which was previously known only from caves and associated subterranean habitats in Texas. The new record of Coahuilixparrasense, Czaja, Estrada-Rodríguez, Romero-Méndez, Ávila-Rodríguez, Meza-Sánchez & Covich, 2017 (Cochliopidae) from Durango and Coahuila is the first record of extant member of this genus out of its hitherto known habitat in the Cuatro Ciénegas basin, Coahuila. These records are remarkable because C.parrasense had been described recently as a fossil species. Shell morphologies of the new subterranean snails could be interpreted as possible evolutional adaptations to different hydrodynamic and other specific conditions in their habitat.

Recent collections of the benthic macroand meiofauna associated with the mesophotic coral ecosystems of Puerto Rico haverevealed two new Cumacea from the family Nannastacidae. A new genus Cumellana and two new species, Cumellanacaribbica and Cumella alexandrinae are described herein. The new genus Cumellana can be distinguished from the other genera of the family Nannastacidae by having a long antennule and pereopod 2 with short terminal setae, equal in length.

Two New Species

Two new species of two rare genera, Monstrotanais ingens n. sp. and Robustochelia virilis n. sp., have been described from the material collected during cruises of r/v Eltanin. The type species of Robustochelia, R. robusta (Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970) has been redescribed based on the well preserved holotype. Diagnoses of the two genera have been amended and key for Robustochelia species has been proposed. Currently two species are assigned to Monstrotanais and four to Robustochelia. Robustochelia solida Larsen, 2005 is now excluded from the genus and possibility of establishing a new genus for the species is considered.

A New Species

A new genus of parasitic copepod, Paranoplodelphys, is established in the family Notodelphyidae to accommodate a new, highly reduced species, P. simplex n. gen. et n. sp., collected from a tunicate host, Didemnum dicolla in Djibouti. The new genus retains only four paired limbs: antennules, legs 1, 2 and 5. Two new species of Anoplodelphys, A. afri-cana and A.laubieri, are described from tunicate hosts of the genus Didemnum collected in the Gulf of Suez and off the Kwazulu-Natal coast, respectively. A new species of Achelidelphys, A. papuensis, is described from a Didemnum species host collected off Papua New Guinea. New records are also reported for Anoplodelphys corneci and Achelidelphys steinitzi also from tunicate hosts. After re-examination of type material of most species, a phylogenetic analysis of relationships between the genera of the Brementia-group was performed using PAUP. This identified four main clades: Brementia, Anoplodelphys, Paranoplodelphys and the Achelidelphys-clade. There was no support for the continued recognition of Cephalodelphys and Syndelphys as valid separate genera, and it is proposed to treat as them synonyms of Achelidelphys. Both genera were monotypic and upon transfer Cephalodelphys stellata Lafargue & Laubier, 1977 becomes Achelidelphys stellata (Lafargue and Laubier, 1977) n. comb. and Syndelphys reducta Lafargue and Laubier, 1977 becomes Achelidelphys reducta (Lafargue and Laubier, 1977) n. comb.
