A New Species

Recently, we (Akkari & Enghoff 2011) described a new species of the genus Rharodesmus Schubart, 1960, discussing the taxonomic state of the family Pyrgodesmidae and providing notes on the four genera occurring in the west Palaearctic area. However, we failed to present details on the holotype of the new species, which we now provide in this note in order to make the species name available. Thus, we describe here the new species Rharodesmus tabarkensis Akkari & Enghoff by reference to the full description given in Akkari & Enghoff (2011) with the following information on the type material: Holotype ♂, TUNISIA, NW, Jendouba Governorate, Tabarka, N36°57.8, E8°44.6, alt. < 40 m, coastal slope below the Genoese fort, under stones, 9.iii.2009, N. Akkari & H. Enghoff leg. (Natural History Museum of Denmark, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, ‒ ZMUC); Paratypes: 12 ♂♂, 8 ♀♀, 14 juveniles, same locality and date as holotype, N. Akkari & H. Enghoff leg. (ZMUC).

A new species of the genus Ogovea is described and illustrated, Ogovea cameroonensis n. sp. from Yaoundé. This species considerably enlarges the distribution range of the family Ogoveidae towards the Northeast. The new species, only known from its type locality in Cameroon, is the first described cyphophthalmid for that country. A new diagnosis for the family Ogoveidae is provided and a putative relationship of Ogovea with the South American genus Huitaca is rejected.

Review Ofthe

A taxonomic review of the hyperiidean amphipod families Mimonectidae and Proscinidae, superfamily Sciniodea, is pre-sented, based predominantly on collections held by the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Priorto this review the family Mimonectidae consisted of two genera, Mimonectes with five species and Pseudomimonecteswith one species, and the family Proscinidae consisted of three genera, Proscina with five species, Mimoscina with twospecies and Cheloscina with one species. The five nominal species of Mimonectes are also recognised in this review withthe addition of three new species, M. alexanderi sp. nov., M. colemani sp. nov. and M. neosphaericus sp. nov. No morespecimens of Pseudomimonectes were found, and this genus is still known only from the unique type. A critical review ofthe family Proscinidae is presented arguing that its taxonomic distinction from the family Mimonectidae cannot be main-tained. Amongst the genus Proscina, P. scinoides (Woltereck, 1906) is considered a species of Mimoscina and P. magnaStephensen and Pirlot, 1931 a junior synonym of Mimonectes loveni Bovallius, 1885. The remaining three species are con-sidered valid for the time being and are transferred to the genus Mimonectes. Thus, eleven species of Mimonectes are rec-ognised in this review. Cheloscina, still known only from the unique type, is also similar to Mimonectes, apart from themorphology of the first antennae, and is here included in the family Mimonectidae. Mimoscina however possesses severalcharacters distinguishing it from other members of the Mimonectidae and a new family, Mimoscinidae fam. nov. is pro-posed to accommodate it. The two nominal species of Mimoscina are also recognised in this review with the addition ofone new species, M. galbraithae sp. nov. Amongst the extensive Dana collections is one specimen that clearly belongswith the Scinoidea but possesses several unique characters that preclude it from all other currently recognised families.Thus, a new family, Microscinidae fam. nov. is proposed to accommodate this new genus and species, Microscina rostratagen. et sp. nov. Keys are provided for all families, genera and species, together with diagnoses, and all species are illustrated.

One New Species

A taxonomic review of the superfamily Lanceoloidea is presented, based predominantly on collections held by the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Prior to this review the superfamily consisted of three families, Lanceolidae with five genera, Chuneolidae with one genus and Microphasmidae with three genera. The family Lanceolidae is here restricted to two genera, Lanceola and Scypholanceola. The other three genera previously included in this family, Prolanceola, Metalanceola and Megalanceola all have characters that differ significantly from Lanceola (and Scypholanceola) as well as from each other; characters which are considered important enough to warrant their removal from the family. Thus, three new families are proposed to accommodate them; Prolanceolidae fam. nov. for Prolanceola, Metalanceolidae fam. nov. for Metalanceola and Megalanceolidae fam. nov. for Megalanceola. In addition, a new genus, Megalanceoloides gen. nov. is proposed for Megalanceola remipes (Barnard, 1932) because it posses characters that differ significantly from M. stephenseni (Chevreux, 1920), the type species of the genus Megalanceola. Lanceola is the most speciose genus with fourteen species recognized in this review, including two new species, L. gruneri sp. nov. from the Tasman Sea and L. galatheae sp. nov. from the tropical north-eastern Indian Ocean. Scypholanceola consists of two species and Prolanceola, Metalanceola, Megalanceola and Megalanceoloides gen. nov. are currently all monospecific. The family Chuneolidae remains unchanged, with one genus and three species. The family Microphasmidae is here restricted to two genera, Microphasma and Microphasmoides; both are monospecific. The genus Mimonecteola is removed from Microphasmidae and placed in a new family, Mimonecteolidae fam. nov., because it posses several significant characters that set it apart from Microphasma (and Microphasmoides). Six species of Mimonecteola are recognized in this review, including M. macronyx Barnard, 1932 which is considered a valid species based on an examination of the type, and additional material from the Dana collections, and one new species, M. carlsbergi sp. nov., from the Atlantic and Indian Ocean off South Africa. Keys are provided for families, genera and species and all species are illustrated.

Collection Sites

The Cryptophagidae collection (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) deposited at the Zoological Museum of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (ZMKU) is described. The main authors of the collection are well-known researchers from the 1910–1930s, Orest Marcu and Karl Penecke. This is the largest collection of cryptophagids among the natural museums of Ukraine containing 304 specimens belonging to 85 species of 13 genera. In addition, 15 specimens of 5 species belonging to the families Erotylidae, Biphyllidae and Languriidae were among Cryptophagidae specimens. The collection, according to information available in the ZMKU, came to the museum not earlier than 1947 as the indemnity for the results of the II World War, most likely from Chernivtsi, where Marcu and Penecke worked. The vast majority of specimens is collected in the territory of modern Romania and Ukraine, and many specimens came from Chernivtsi. A table with an overview of all key details of the specimens is given, in which there are 6 fields: the name of the species on the label, details on the species identification, number of specimens, collection locality with the name of collector and remarks on the specimen, in particular, the instructions for decoding collection sites from the original labels. Annotations are made on the amount of the collection and the most important specimens and re-identification for each of the 13 genera. Some specimens are lost, probably during numerous collection migrations. In particular, some species (Cryptophagus simplex, C. lapidicola, C. nitidulus, Caenoscelis subdeplanata, Atomaria grandicollis, A. peltata, etc.) are represented in the collection only by the labels. The collection is important for the analysis of the composition of the fauna of the Carpathian region in the broad sense, since some species are encountered in the collection rarely; therefore it is important to clarify their locations to form the most comprehensive list of species of the Cryptophagids in the region. Several species of the family were included on the actual list of the fauna of the region on the basis of the study of this collection, in particular: Atomaria linearis, A. analis, A. apicalis, A. gravidula, Cryptophagus fasciatus, C. setulosus, etc.
