    查看更多>>摘要：Sixteen species of Uropodina were found in samples of soil mites from Vietnam, in the Institute of Soil Biology of the Biology Centre AS CR (Eesk Budijovice, Czech Republic) and the Soil Zoology Collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary). Five of them are known species — Angulobaloghia vietnamensis (Kontschan, 2008), Metagynella vietnamensis Hiramatsu, 1981, Uroobovella similitakensis Hirschmann, 1981, Uroobovella topali Hirschmann, 1981, and Uropoda hirschmanni Hiramatsu, 1977. Eleven species are described as new — Trachytes vietnamensis sp. nov., Dinychus serratus sp. nov., Trichouropoda aspera sp. nov., Uroobovella oviformis sp. nov., Uroobovella multisetosa sp. nov., Paradinychus pilosus sp. nov., Phymatodiscus kuni sp. nov., Uropoda setata sp. nov., Uropoda li-chenicola sp. nov., Angulobaloghia scrobia sp. nov. and Depressorotunda {Depressorotunda) alveolata sp. nov. The genus Paradinychus is resurrected and three species are moved into this genus, as P. sumatrensis (Vitzthum, 1921) comb, nov. and P.fistulata (Hiramatsu, 1982) comb. nov. Keys to the species of the genus Paradinychus, to the Asian species of Trachytes and to the Uropoda spiculata species group are given.

    A new species of the genus Lycodon (Boie, 1826) from the southwestern mountains of China (Squamata: Colubridae)

This species is similar to L. fasciatus, but differs in its longer tail, especially in males, and larger number of subcaudals, especially in females. The number of ventrals and maximum body size is greater in both sexes of the new species. From the Lycodon ruhstrati group, the new species differs in the colour of the belly and the dorsal bands. This new species seems to be endemic to Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China. The holotype of Ophites fasciatus Anderson, 1879 appears to have been lost, so a neotype is designated in order to address the status of this taxon.

    Laelapidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) on megachiropteran bats: new records and a new species of Neolaelaps Hirst

    查看更多>>摘要：The little-known monotypic genus Notolaelaps is newly recorded from Australia. Males of Notolaelaps novaguinea Womersley are fully described for the first time, protonymphs are newly described, and females redescribed. A fourth species of Neolaelaps,Ne. windsori sp. nov., previously regarded as a form of Neolaelaps vitzthumi Domrow, is described as new. Male Neolaelaps vitzthumi are described for the first time from a heavily-infested specimen of Pteropus alecto. Both genera are re-diagnosed. Relationships between Notolaelaps, Neolaelaps and the Macronyssidae are discussed.

    Re-discovery and Re-description of Ansonia penangensis Stoliczka, 1870 (Anura: Bufonidae) from Penang Island, Malaysia

The species was previously known only from the type series; two adults and a larval series collected in1898, and had not been recorded since. An expanded description of this species is provided, based on four recently acquired specimens and corroborate the morphological differences between Ansonia penangensis, A. malayana and A. jeetsukumarani, with whichA. penangensis has been confused.

    Revalidation of the genus Thoracophelia Ehlers, 1897, replacing Euzonus Grube, 1866 (Polychaeta: Opheliidae), junior homonym of Euzonus Menge, 1854 (Arthropoda: Diplopoda), together with a literature summary and updated listing of Thoracophelia species

(2011) recently demonstrated that the generic name Euzonus was being used in both Arthropoda (Diplopoda) and Polychaeta (Opheliidae) systematics and that the arthropod name was the senior synonym. The diplopod name Euzonus Menge, 1854, based on a single species, E. collulum Menge, 1854 from Baltic amber predates Euzonus Grube, 1866, established for E. arcticus Grube, 1866 from the Arctic Ocean. The Nomenclator Zoologicus (2005) verifies that both names are listed as uncorrected homonyms. Brewer et al. (2011) suggested that for time being, the genus Pectinophelia Hartman, 1938 could be used for those species of Polychaeta currently referred to the genus Euzonus. However, prior to Hartman's (1956) referral of these opheliids to the genusEuzonus, some species had been included in the genus Thoracophelia Ehlers, 1897 and this is clearly the next available name for polychaetes currently referred to Euzonus Grube. In the following paragraphs I summarize some key decision points in the taxonomic history of these opheliids, their referral to Thoracophelia, and why subgenera, as currently applied, are not necessary.
