Pichia scaptomyzae sp. nov., isolated from Scaptomyza multispinosa Malloch (Diptera) in southern Chile

A novel representative of the yeast genus Pichia which has been isolated from the intestinal tract of the fly Scaptomyza multispinosa Malloch, (species of Chilian diptera frequenting meadows where Ranunculus repens L. are abundant), is described and illustrated. The strain differs from all accepted Pichia species (1–11) to warrant its establishment as a new species: Pichia scaptomyzae sp. nov.

New records of rare derogenids (Digenea: Hemiuroidea) from Mediterranean sparids,including the description of a new species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Magnibursatus</Emphasis> Naidenova, 1969 and redescription of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Derogenes adriaticus</Emphasis> Nikolaeva, 1966

Records of derogenid digeneans in the Mediterranean and Black Sea region are scarce and tend to be restricted to a small number of host-groups, but especially to sparid fishes. This work reports on the presence of derogenine and halipegine derogenids from two sparids, Diplodus annularis (L.) and D. sargus (L.), from off the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Five derogenid forms were recovered. Derogenes adriaticus Nikolaeva, 1966 is redescribed from Diplodus annularis, and Derogenes sp. is described from the same host but differentiated from the former species. Magnibursatus barretti n. sp. is described from Diplodus sargus and distinguished from other species of the genus especially by its smaller body size and smaller eggs. M. bartolii Kostadinova, Power, Fernández, Balbuena, Raga & Gibson, 2003 is redescribed from D. sargus, a new host for this species. A single specimen from D. sargus, somewhat similar to M. minutus Kostadinova, Power, Fernández, Balbuena, Raga & Gibson, 2003, is also described, as it exhibits some morphometric differences from the latter species.

New mesozoic diving beetles (Coleoptera,Dytiscidae) from China

A new subfamily of predaceous diving beetles, Liadytiscinae subfam. nov., including two genera and four species, Liadytiscus gen. nov. (L. cretaceus sp. nov., L. longitibialis sp. nov., and L. latus sp. nov.) and Liadroporus gen. nov.

Two new genera, Mesoderus gen. nov. with two species, M. magnus sp. nov. and M. ventralis sp. nov., and Sinoporus gen. nov. with one species, S. lineatus sp. nov., are also described; their position in the system of Dytiscidae remains uncertain.

Hystrignathus ferox n.sp. and Xyo xiphacanthus n.sp. (Oxyurida: Hystrignathidae) with additional data on Carlosia tijucana Travassos & Kloss, 1957

Summary Two new species of hystrignathid nematode are described from passalid beetles in Trinidad, West Indies. Hystrignathus ferox n.sp., from the mid-gut caeca of Verres furcilabris (Esch.) is easily differentiated from H. rugosus Travassos & Kloss, 1958 and H. rescens Travassos & Kloss, 1958 on the character of the lateral alae. In H. rugosus the alae extend to the anus and in H. rescens to the vulva whereas in H. ferox n.sp. the alae are much shorter and terminate about two body-widths anterior to the vulva. Xyo xiphacanthus n.sp., from the mid-gut caeca of Veturius transversus var. trituberculatus (Esch.), is characterized by the cervical spines extending about an oesophagus length posterior to the basal bulb. No other nominal species of Xyo has the spines extending so far posteriorly. X. histrix Cobb, 1898 and X. histrix sensu Christie, 1934 are regarded as species inquirendae. Carlosia tijucana Travassos & Kloss, 1957 is illustrated and additional data provided. ac]19810415

Two new species of Mesocyclops from southern China and notes on the genus Mesocyclops in China

Two new Mesocyclops species, M. mariae n. sp. and M. shenzhenensisn. sp., are described from southern China, the former species from Guangxi province, the latter from Guangdong province. Both species have setules on the medial margin of the caudal rami. Compared with each other, there are some conspicuous differences, such as the spinule pattern of the antenna basipodite, the structure of receptaculum seminis, the armature of coxopodite and basipodite of P4 and the armature of the caudal rami. The paper also compares the two new species with their supposedly closest relatives, M. pseudospinosus Dussart & Fernando, 1988, M. leuckarti(Claus, 1857) and M. pehpeiensisHu, 1943. In addition, other species of Mesocyclops in China are discussed and a key to 10 Chinese species of Mesocyclops is provided.
