V. Gorochov erected a new genus Cercoteratura Gorochov, 2019 based on a new species Cercoteratura variegata Gorochov, 2019 from Sumatra and Borneo (Gorochov, 2019). Three other species were also included in this genus, mainly from Sumatra and Thai-Peninsula. We found that the species from Brunei Darussalam could also belong to this genus and represent the eastern-most record of this genus. We provide a key to known species of Cercoteratura, although it is likely that this genus is more speciose than currently known. We also present a morphological comparison of the three similar genera Cercoteratura, Kuzicus and Xiphidiopsis.Victrix svetlanae sp. n. is described from Russian Far East, Khabarovsk Krai. The new species belongs to the subgenus Poliobrya Hampson, 1908. New species is most similar to V. umovii (Eversmann, 1846) and V. patula (Püngeler, 1907) but differs in both external and genital characteristics. This is the first record of the genus Victrix in the Far East.Archophileurus spinosus Dechambre, 2006, a South American Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae Dynastinae Phileurini) is recorded for the first time in Europe (Apulia, Italy). This species, which may have colonized the Italian peninsula in recent past and that could still be in the acclimatization phase, represents the first record of tribe Phileurini in Europe and the second case worldwide of interception of this genus outside its area of origin. After a brief presentation of the site and collecting conditions of the specimens, we discuss the possible threats for local biodiversity and agriculture that the establishment of A. spinosus could cause.A new species of genus Alpinalona Alonso Sinev, 2017 is described from South-East USA. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/LBH-589.html Alpinalona fornshelli sp. nov. differs from other species of the genus in (1) over 35 setulae on posteroventral angle of the valves, organized into 5-6 groups; (2) a long basal spine of female postabdominal claw (about 0.3 claw length); and (3) thick long distalmost spines in basal pecten of postabdominal claw. Taxonomic position and distribution of the new species are discussed.Plectranthias cruentus new species is described from the holotype and two paratypes collected off Ball's Pyramid and a paratype from Lord Howe Island. It resembles P. pelicieri Randall Shimizu 1994 in live coloration and most morphological details, including absence of predorsal scales anterior to the supratemporal commissure, but differs in having the fifth or sixth (versus third) dorsal-fin spine longest, at least some pectoral-fin rays branched (versus all unbranched), and inconspicuous (versus distinct) serrations on the interopercle. It also differs in live coloration details.In this paper, six species of the genus Allodynerus Blüthgen from China are reviewed, including four new species and two known species, namely Allodynerus reduncus Zhang, Chen Li, sp. nov., Allodynerus bimaculus Zhang, Chen Li, sp. nov., Allodynerus diqingensis Zhang, Chen Li, sp. nov., Allodynerus asperipunctarus Zhang, Chen Li, sp. nov., Allodynerus delphinalis delphinalis (Giraud, 1866) and Allodynerus mandschuricus Blüthgen, 1953. These four new species are described and illustrated in detail, and the two known species are redescribed and illustrated. A key to all known species of Allodynerus worldwide is also provided.Three new North American species of Paradonus Stibick are described Paradonus gallatinensis new species, Paradonus gustafsoni new species and Paradonus stibicki new species is described for specimens formerly called Paradonus pectoralis sensu Stibick, 1991. The type species of the genus, Paradonus pectoralis Say, 1839 is redefined, and the Holotype of Paradonus olivereae Stibick, 1991 is designated as the Neotype of P. pectoralis, a common, widespread species. The genus is redescribed, a checklist of species is included, and notes on the described species north of Mexico are given. Hypnoidus guatemalensis Champion, 1895 is removed from the genus and placed in Zorochros Thompson, 1858 as Zorochros guatemalensis (Champion, 1895) new combination. A key to all described species north of Mexico is provided, along with illustrations of characters used in identifying species.We describe two new species of the genus Pristimantis from the western margin of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. The species have a sympatric distribution and are found in the humid tropical forests of the lower part of the Tamá National Natural Park (PNN Tamá) and its buffer zone. The new species were described from morphological comparisons and phylogenetic reconstruction from the sequencing of three mitochondrial and two nuclear genes. With these two new species, the number of Pristimantis species known in the department of Norte de Santander has increased to 10. In addition, we included new sequences for the species P. anolirex, P. nicefori, P. mondolfii, and P. yukpa. Our explorations in the last decade indicate that there are probably between five and 10 species that have not been described in the northeastern part of Colombia, especially in areas where the armed conflict has predominated in the last five decades.Four new species of the mite family Microdispidae, Phyllodispus tenuisetus sp. nov., Promicrodispus bisetus sp. nov., Premicrodispus (Premicrodispus) novaezealandicus sp. nov., and Premicrodispus (Premicrodispulus) secundus sp. nov., are described from soil in alpine New Zealand. The genus Promicrodispus and subgenus Premicrodispus (Premicrodispulus) are recorded from New Zealand for the first time.The diversity of Hippothoidae (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata) in New Zealand is increased from 12 named species to 17 and the number of genera from three to five. New species are recognised in the genera Antarctothoa, Hippothoa, Jessethoa n. gen. and Neothoa (newly discovered in New Zealand waters). A new species of Plesiothoa from New South Wales is also described. Collectively, the new taxa encrust a range of substrata (a catenicellid bryozoan, brown and red macroalgae, rock and mollusc shell). The status of two existing species is changed-Hippothoa divaricata pacifica Gordon, 1984 is raised to full species, and Hippothoa watersi Morris, 1980 is used for putative Hippothoa flagellum in New Zealand. New data are given for these species and Hippothoa peristomata Gordon, 1984, and little-known Antarctothoa buskiana (Hutton, 1873) and Antarctothoa cancer (Hutton, 1873) are illustrated by scanning electron microscopy for the first time.
