Two New Species

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.).

Project Wallace

A series of terrestrial Omicrini collected in Sulawesi during the Project Wallace expedition was studied. The recorded species belong to Omicrogiton d'Orchymont, Paromicrus Scott, Aculomicrus Smetana, Noteropagus d'Orchymont and to a new genus, Stanmalcolmia, for a new species: S. sulawesiensis. Five new species of Paromicrus are described: P. bicarinatus, P. flexus, P. punctulatus, P. scutulatus, and P. wallacei. Paromicrus bryanti d'Orchymont, P. championi d'Orchymont and P. scotti d'Orchymont are redescribed; a key is given to the examined Paromicrus. A list of the known species of Paromicrus is given. Aculomicrus is new for the Oriental region, and A. brendelli, sp. nov. is described; a key to the known species of Aculomicrus is given. Aculomicrus is likely to be another example of transPacific distribution and a discussion on its zoogeography is provided. The aedeagi and female ectodermal genitalia are figured for each species when they are available. The aedeagus of A. pusio Smetana, from Puerto Rico, is figured for the first time.*Project Wallace Publication No. 138.

Copepoda Cyclopoida

Two obligate cave-dwelling species of cyclopoid copepods (Copepoda, Cyclopoida) were discovered inside caves in central Thailand. Siamcyclops cavernicolus gen. et sp. nov. was recognised as a member of a new genus. It resembles Bryocyclops jankowskajae Monchenko, 1972 from Uzbekistan (part of the former USSR). It differs from it by (1) lack of pointed triangular prominences on the intercoxal sclerite of the fourth swimming leg, (2) mandibular palp with three setae, (3) spine and setal formulae of swimming legs 3.3.3.2 and 5.5.5.5, respectively, and (4) specific shape of spermatophore. Metacyclops thailandicus sp. nov. resembles M. cushae Reid, 1991 from Louisiana (USA). It differs from it by (1) distal segment of the endopod of the fourth swimming leg with one apical spine, (2) the fifth swimming legs with one broad segment, (3) the spine formula of the distal segment of the exopod of the swimming legs 3.4.3.3, and (4) well developed anal operculum reaching articulation with caudal rami. Detailed descriptions of the habitats of the new species and up-to-date keys to the genera and subgenera of the Bryocyclops and Microcyclops groups are provided, along with an updated list of obligate groundwater species of Copepoda in Southeast Asia.

Two New Species

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.
