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.).

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.

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.

The schizomid fauna of Isla de Pinos (the second largest island in the Cuban archipelago), is revised. A new genus is described to accommodate Schizomus insulaepinorum Armas, 1977 (currently in the genus Luisarmasius Reddell & Cokendolpher, 1995), which is redescribed and fully illustrated according to the modern standards in schizomid taxonomy; its geographical distribution is also updated, with a new locality record. A second new, monotypic genus with a new species is also described from the same geographical area: the residual marble hills of the northeast of the island. As results, the schizomid fauna of Isla de Pinos is now known to comprise two nominal genera and species (both endemic to the island), the Cuban schizomid fauna reaches 13 genera and 57 species (being endemics 10 and 56 of them, respectively), and Luisarmasius is left monotypic and becomes the only genus endemic to Puerto Rico.
