A New Species

Megalophallus reamesi n.sp. infected the clapper rail, ruddy turnstone, black-bellied plover, and the isopod Ligia baudiniana. This precociously developed digenean occurred in the mid-Florida Keys, Florida, and in Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos, British West Indies, but not in numerous other examined localities from New York to Texas. It is most similar in body size (1.0–1.6 vs 1.0–1.1 mm) and structure of its copulatory organ to M. diodontis Siddiqi and Cable, 1960, but its copulatory organ has 23–39 micropapillae rather than 12–19, the species has rudimentary intestinal ceca rather than short fully developed ones, and an isopod rather than a portunid crab serves as the second intermediate host. The encysted metacercaria, occurring in the hemocoel of the isopod, was typically encapsulated with host connective tissue incorporating several host chromatophores.

A New Species

In preparation for a general account of the Notodontidae of Trinidad and Tobago, the following taxonomic acts are required. Apella [sic] ovalis Rothschild, 1917 (Notodontidae) is transferred to the combination Lephana ovalis (Rothschild) comb. nov. (Erebidae, Anobinae). Crinodes insularis Rothschild, 1917 stat. nov. is removed from synonymy with C. fuscipennis Rothschild, 1917. Oligocentria brunnipennis Kaye, 1923 stat rev. is reinstated as a valid species. The following are new synonyms: Anoba suffusa Hampson, 1924 syn. nov. of Lephana muffula Guenée, 1852 (Erebidae, Anobinae); Farigia xenopithia Druce, 1911 syn. nov. of F. magniplaga Schaus, 1905; Oligocentria guianensis Thiaucourt, 2015 syn. nov. of Oligocentria brunnipennis Kaye, 1923; Skaphita aroensis (Schaus, 1901) and S. sexnotata (Kaye, 1925) syn. nov. of S. cubana (Grote, 1865). The holotype of S. kalodonta (Kaye, 1923) is recognised. Skaphita indirae sp. nov. is described from Trinidad.

A New Species

In a well on the island of Antigua (West Indies), one female of a new species of Halicyclops was found, described as H. antiguaensis n. sp. The male still remains unknown. The new species belongs to the thermophilus group of Halicyclops , characterized by a spiniform protuberance on each side of the genital somite, the end of which is curved backward, and a spine formula of the third exopodite segment of P1-P4 of 3, 4, 4, 3. It differs from H. thermophilus Kiefer, 1929, H. spinifer Kiefer, 1935, H. venezuelaensis Lindberg, 1954, and H. dedeckeri Brownell, 1983, by the relatively short spines on P5. The new species is closely related to H. latus Shen & Tai, 1964, but in this species the furca and segment 3 of the 4th endopodite are relatively longer. Due to lack of information on the length of the furcal setae of the species of Shen & Tai, further comparison is impossible.
