The Indo-West Pacific sesarmid genus Selatium Serène & Soh, 1970, is revised, and two wide-ranging species are recognized, S. brockii (De Man, 1887) and S. elongatum (A. Milne-Edwards, 1869). A new genus, Lithoselatium, which superficially resembles Selatium, is described, and two new species are recognized: L. pulchrum n. sp. from Taiwan, and L. kusu n. sp. from Singapore and nearby areas. Their relationship is discussed using both morphological and molecular datasets.

Only one species of hippolytid shrimp, namely Hippolyte commensalis Kemp, 1925, was previously known to be associated with alcyonacean soft corals (Octocorallia, Alcyonacea) in the Indo-West Pacific. Recent collections revealed that at least three distinct hippolytid species are associated with alcyonacean soft corals. Moreover, these alcyonacean-associated hippolytids differ considerably from all other species of the genus Hippolyte Leach, 1814 in having a smooth rostrum bearing a single subapical ventral tooth, reduced styliform incisor process of the mandible, the basal antennular segment without ventromedial tooth, and the ambulatory pereiopods lacking or with only relatively small distoventral spines. A new genus, Alcyonohippolyte gen. nov., is thus established for Hippolyte commensalis Kemp, 1925 and two new species. Alcyonohippolyte dossena sp. nov. (the type species of the new genus) mainly differs from the congeners in having a humpbacked carapace. Alcyonohippolyte maculata sp. nov. closely resembles A. commensalis but clearly differs in having a furry carapace and distinct coloration, as well as in association with different alcyonacean host. An identification key is provided as well as information on the live coloration and host for all species of Alcyonohippolyte gen. nov.

A new genus and species, Unguitarsonemus paradoxus n. gen., n. sp. and a new species, Pseudotarsonemoides peruviensis n. sp. (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tarsonemidae), are described based on phoretic females collected on bark beetles Phloeotribus pilula and Ph. biguttatus, respectively, from Peru. A key to species of the genus Pseudotarsonemoides is provided.

Namaquaropus niger gen nov. & sp.nov. is described from South Africa. In addition, two new species of the subgenus Jehania Distant of Isometopus Fieber (I. mirus sp. nov. and I. maculipennis sp. nov.), and Paloniella flavicolor sp. nov. are described. With these, the known species of Isometopinae in South Africa now number sixteen.

This paper deals with the systematics of all known Australian Mecoptera. Two new species are described: Austrobittocw anomalus (Austrobittacus is a new genus) and Harpobittacus phaeoscius; and three new subspecies: Harpobittacus australis rubripes, H. tillyardi albatus, and H. t. rubricatus.
