AbstractThe seven known species including two new species of Protearomyia are described and keyed: obscura (Walker) and mallochi n. sp., from southern Chile; cordillerensis McAlpine, martinia McAlpine and tricopleura n. sp., from temperate North America, and nigra (Meigen) and greciana McAlpine from Europe. Lectotypes are designated for cordillerensis and greciana. Male and female terminalia are figured where possible; female of martinia and male of trichopleura are unknown.

AbstractDeutonymphs, and male and female adults, of Stygameracarus cooki sp.nov., and a male adult of S. canadensis sp.nov., are described from interstitial habitats associated with small streams in temperate North America. The genus Stygameracarus and the monobasic subfamily Stygameracarinae are proposed and diagnosed, based primarily on the shape of the capitulum and the highly modified structure of the pedipalps in both deutonymphs and adults, and the distinctive structure of the genital field region in adults. Possible relationships between members of the new genus and other Athienemanniidae are discussed, and a new key to the subfamilies of Athienemanniidae is presented.

Adults of all species are illustrated, as well as male and female genitalia (where known) and larva of L.lepida and Lithophane itata (Smith). A key to species of the L. lepida group is provided.

DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF ACALYPTONOTUS FROM WESTERN NORTH AMERICA, WITH A NEW DIAGNOSIS OF THE GENUS BASED UPON LARVAE AND ADULTS, AND COMMENTS ON PHYLOGENY AND TAXONOMY OF ACALYPTONOTIDAE (ACARI: PARASITENGONA: ARRENUROIDEA)

AbstractLarvae, and male and female adults, of Acalyptonotus neoviolaceus n. sp., and male and female adults of A. pacificus n. sp., are described from western North America. A revised diagnosis of Acalyptonotus is proposed based upon larvae and adults, and the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic status of Acalyptonotidae are discussed.

AbstractMorphological and distributional data are presented for the North American species of the genera Phreatobrachypoda Cook, 1963 and Bharatalbia Cook, 1967. These mites live in gravel deposits associated with riffle areas and the hyporheic zone of streams. Female adults of Phreatobrachypoda multlpora Cook are redescribed, and males of this species are described for the first time. Adults of P. robusta Cook and P. acuta Habeeb are redescribed, and males and females of these two species are correctly correlated for the first time. Male and female adults of two new species of Phreatobrachypoda are described. The male mite described as Japonaxonopsis nuiakiensis Imamura is reassigned to Phreatobrachypoda, and the name Japonaxonopsis becomes a junior synonym of Phreatobrachypoda. Two subgenera, Phreatobrachypoda (s.s.) and Ameribrachypoda subgen.nov., are proposed and diagnosed based on the morphology of the dorsal shield, genital field, and fourth pair of legs of males. A key to known species of die genus is presented. Male and female adults of two new species of Bharatalbia (Japnnalbia) are described, and the deutonymph of one of these species is correlated with adults and described. This is the first reported occurrence of this genus in North America.All North American species of Phreatobrachypoda and Bharatalbia inhabit coastal areas in Oregon and California. The highly disjunct distributions of these genera suggest that species of both were widespread throughout western North America and eastern Eurasia during the Tertiary Era, but survived the Pleistocene only in isolated temperate refugia well beyond the southern limit of glaciers.

AbstractLarvae, deutonymphs, and male and female adults of Platyhydracarus juliani sp.nov., and adults of P. parvipalpis sp.nov., are described from rheocrenes and small streams in western North America. The genus Platyhydracarus gen.nov. is proposed and diagnosed, based primarily upon the presence of genital acetabula both in the gonopore and on acetabular plates flanking the gonopore, and of a group of thickened setae anterior to the gonopore, in male adults. Possible relationships between Platyhydracarus and other Athienemanniidae are discussed, and a new key to the genera of Athienemanniinae is presented.

The genus Pholcus Walckenaer, 1805 is reported from Pakistan for the first time. Two new species of the Pholcus nenjukovi species-group are described: Pholcus hamuchal Yao & Li sp. nov. (Gilgit Baltistan, male and female) and Pholcus kalam Yao & Li sp. nov. (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, male and female). Type material is deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS) in Beijing, China.

Two new species, Prolixus nicholasi sp. nov. and Prolixus setifolius sp. nov., are described and illustrated from leaves of Gahnia setifolia (Cyperaceae) in Auckland, New Zealand. In this paper, we present the ontogenetic additions in idiosomal and the leg chaetotaxy from larva to adult. The adult male and female of P. setifolius have different leg setae, allowing all active life stages to be sexed. A key to world species of Prolixus is also proposed.

Two new species of Aegopsis Burmeister, 1847 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Agaocephalini), Aegopsis diceratops Sobral & Grossi new species and Aegopsis vazdemelloi Sobral & Grossi new species, are described and illustrated based on specimens collected in Cerrado habitat in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso. The new species are similar to A. bolboceridus (Thomson, 1860). A redescription of A. bolboceridus is provided along with remarks comparing characters among these three species. A distribution map and a male and female key to the species in the genus are provided.
