A New Species

A new species, Duvalius karaormanicus sp. n., in the subgenus Euduvalius, is described from the type locality: Mlečnik cave in the Karaorman Mountain in the south-western part of the Republic of Macedonia. This is the second cave-dwelling Duvalius and the sixth representative of the genus so far recorded from the Republic of Macedonia. Based on its diagnostic characters, the new species is found to be related to the species in the “gogalai” and “petroclzilosi” groups. D. karaormanicus sp. n. occupies an intermediate position between the species from these two groups and is therefore placed in a separate “karaormanicus” species group.

Trechodes intermedia sp. nov. and T. kogelbergensis sp. nov. are described from South Africa. A third species, T. humeralis (Jeannel, 1930) comb.nov. is transferred to Trechosia Jeannel from the genus Cothresia Jeannel. All three species are macropterous, endemic to the South African Cape region, and together represent a new species group of the genus Trechosia. Keys to the species groups of the genus Trechosia and to the species of the new T. intermedia group are provided.

A New Species

The pontoniine shrimp genus Onycocaris Nobili, 1904 currently contains 18 species, all known from the Indo-WestPacific. In this study, a new species of the genus, O. hayamaensis, is described and illustrated on the basis of fourovigerous female and three male specimens collected from Sagami Bay, central Japan, at shallow subtidal depths of5–6 m. The specimens lived in internal cavities of an unidentified species of a haliclonid sponge, Haliclona sp. Thisnew species is referred to the O. quadratophthalma (Balss, 1921) species group, represented by four species, i.e., O.balssi Bruce, 2011, O. fujinoi Bruce, 2011, O. quadratophthalma, and O. trullata Bruce, 1978. Differentiatingcharacters between the new species and the latter four species are discussed. The present new species exhibits strongsexual dimorphism in the second pereopods and heterochaely in the male second pereopods, though these traits are notfully documented in some of other congeneric species. Diagnostic characters derived from the second pereopods should be treated carefully.

A New Species

In this study we describe Rhyacophila siparantum sp. nov., a new species of the Rhyacophila philopotamoides species group from the Bjeshkët e Nemuna Mountains in Kosovo, based on morphological (male adults) and molecular (sequencing of the barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI)) characteristics. The new species is morphologically closest to Rhyacophila schmidinarica Urbanič, Krušnik & Malicky, 2000, and also closely resembling Rhyacophila hirticornis McLachlan, 1879. R. siparantum sp. nov. differs from both its most similar congeners primarily by the shape of the segment X, which is in lateral view short apically and with a pronounced lateral hump on the posterior edge. This difference, combined with other characters related to the shape of the second segment of inferior appendages, spine pattern of parameres and size of ventral teeth on segments VI and VII, make R. siparantum sp. nov. easily distinguishable from both most similar congeners. Phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships were reconstructed using two methods of phylogenetic inference, and two species delimitation methods. All this supports Rhyacophila siparantum sp. nov. as a distinct taxon. The adults of Rhyacophila siparantum sp. nov. were found during the period May – August, nearby a small rheocrene spring inside a forested area. The new species is most probably a microendemic of the Bjeshkët e Nemuna, a mountainous massive known for several other endemic species of caddisflies. Rhyacophila siparantum sp. nov. is the seventeenth known species of the genus Rhyacophila Pictet, 1834 from Kosovo.

A New Species

Liolaemus dorbignyi is re-described, and its type locality restricted to the Sierra de Fiambalá, Catamarca Province, Argentina. Also, Liolaemus scrocchii sp. nov., a new species of Liolaemus belonging to the L. montanus series, previously confused with L. dorbignyi , is described. This new species inhabits the phytogeographic region of Puna in Argentina at 3500 m. and is distributed in Jujuy and northwestern Salta provinces. Diagnostic characters include the color pattern, (composed of transverse paravertebral spots, that are band shaped and never reach the lateral region, and never contact the vertebral zone), and the number of scales around midbody. Several populations from different localities were considered L. dorbignyi because of their color pattern and squamation. Even though part of this confusion is clarified in this contribution, some populations still require further study.
