One species, A. tonginus (Karsch, 1881), is confirmed to be present in the fauna of the island, while the remaining three require revision. Taxonomic and distributional remarks are provided for all of the species.

Knipowitschia byblisia sp.nov. is placed in a group of species with reducedcephalic lateral-line canals and reduced squamation. This species is characterized by the presence of axillary and caudal peduncular patches of scales, by a distinct reduced head canal system with only the postorbital section of the supraorbital canal developed and with longitudinal and transversal rows of free neuromasts in the interorbit. Knipowitschia caunosi sp. nov. is placed in a group of species with a fairly complete head canal system and with scales continuously extending along lateral midlinefrom the axilla to the caudal peduncle. This species is characterized by long transverse rows of free neuromasts on the nape and on the cheek, by a characteristic pattern of the preorbital series of free neuromasts with the anteriormost row lacking andwith a reduced number of transverse suborbital rows. Both species are isolated and their distributions restricted to a small brackish lake in the west of the Anatolian south coast. This record represents the southern and easternmost of the genus Knipowitschia in the Mediterranean region. The origin of these two species is discussed.

Three species, Micrargus herbigradus (Blackwall, 1854), Oia imadatei (Oi, 1964) and Solenysa longqiensis Li & Song, 1992, are new to the Taiwanese fauna. Based on the new data, the linyphiid fauna of Taiwan is known to contain 20 linyphiid species.
查看更多>>摘要：Geophilus arenarius Meinert (Chilopoda: Geophilidae), a neglected nominal species from north-western Africa of uncertain identity, is here described in detail and its taxonomic position assessed. G. arenarius is actually a morphologically distinct species belonging to a widespread Western Palaearctic species-complex whose internal taxonomy is still largely unresolved, to the exclusion of the two British species G. carpophagus and G. easoni. G. arenarius differs from both other species mainly by lacking a transverse suture on the head, lacking peculiar integumental features (carpophagus-structures) along the trunk, and having relatively stouter antennae and forcipular coxosternite.
查看更多>>摘要：The new species Opiona graeningi is described from caves in the Marble Mountain Wilderness Area, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou Co., California, as the first troglomorphic species of Opiona, the first troglobiont from the globally important KlamathSiskiyou ecoregion, and possibly the first troglobiotic caseyid. Notes are provided on the composition of the genus Opiona and on the interpretation of the gonopods. Opiona, with 13 described species, may not be monophyletic.
查看更多>>摘要：We describe a new species of Eremias lacertid from the Alborz Mountain range in northern Iran (Tehran Province). Eremias papenfussi n. sp. is part of the Eremias subgenus (or morphotype) by virtue of lacking lateral fringes on the fourth toe and colorpattern. It can be further differentiated from previously described species assigned to this morphotype by the absence of distinctly keeled upper caudal scales, gular scales that do not extend to the second inframaxiallary scales, color pattern, and scale counts. Eremias papenfussi is found on rocky mountain slopes of the Alborz where it is presumed to have a much broader distribution than demonstrated by the available specimens. Of the 15 species of Eremias known from Iran, E. papenfussi is the fifthspecies known to inhabit rocky mountain slopes along with E. strauchi, E. lalezharica, E. montanus and E. novo.
查看更多>>摘要：In this paper we describe two new quill mite species, Krantziaulonastus yoyomi sp. nov. and Picobia dinemellia sp. nov. (Acari, Cheyletoidea, Syringophilidae), parasitizing the White-headed Buffalo Weaver Dinemellia dinemelli (Ruppell) (Passeriformes,Ploceidae). This host species represents a new avian family (Ploceidae) for the genera Picobia Haller and Krantziaulonastus Skoracki.
