TL;DR: Plagioehila killarniensis Pears is reinstated as a species, and differs from P. spinulosa in many characters including its more patent leaves with a sharply defmed vitta, and the dentate antical margin of its female bracts.
Abstract: Plagioehila killarniensis Pears. is reinstated as a species. It differs from P. spinulosa in many characters including its more patent leaves with a sharply defmed vitta, and the dentate antical margin of its female bracts. P. spinulosa var. inermis Carr. is shown to be a synonym of P. killarniensis, and P. punetata var. owenii (Steph.) Macv. of var. punctata. Both sexes of P. killarniensis occur in the British Isles, but male plants of P. spinulosa have not been detected, and those of P. punctata have been seen only once. P. killarniensis tolerates more exposure than P. spinulosa, but does not extend so far north.

TL;DR: The soft-part anatomy demonstrates that Australoecia McKenzie is correctly classified in the family Pontocyprididae, and suggested resemblances to Cardobairdia are superficial and due to convergence.
Abstract: Australoecia atlantica Maddocks, n. sp., is described and illustrated. The soft-part anatomy demonstrates that Australoecia McKenzie is correctly classified in the family Pontocyprididae. Abyssocypris van den Bold is a synonym; suggested resemblances to Cardobairdia (van den Bold) are superficial and due to convergence. Australoecia abyssophilia Maddocks is reillustrated.

TL;DR: The new species Habrocytus actinopterae n.sp.
Abstract: The new species Habrocytus actinopterae n.sp. is described from South Sweden. A lectotype is also selected for Pteromalus groenlandicus Holmgren and the species is transfered to Pachyneuron groenlandicus (Hlmgr) n. comb. with Pachyneuron umbratum Del. as a synonym.

TL;DR: The avian haemoproteid, H. centropi de Mello, a blood parasite found in members of the family Cuculidae, is redescribed from Clamator jacobinus Boddaert from Ngulia in Kenya.
Abstract: Summary
The avian haemoproteid, Haemoproteus centropi de Mello, a blood parasite found in members of the family Cuculidae, is redescribed from Clamator jacobinus Boddaert from Ngulia in Kenya. Haemoproteus froilanoi Tendeiro is considered to be a synonym of H. centropi. The reasons for this are discussed.

TL;DR: The history of the genus Euteratocephalus Andrassy, 1958 is briefly stated, and E. spiraloides Micoletzky, 1914 reinstated as a valid species is reinstated.
Abstract: The history of the genus Euteratocephalus Andrassy, 1958 is briefly stated, and E. spiraloides Micoletzky, 1914 reinstated as a valid species. Two new species are described from freshwater habitats in South Africa: E. hirschmannae (synonym: E. palustris apud Hirschmann, 1952) and E. capensis. A key to the four species recognised is presented.

TL;DR: The genus AllUaudomyia was erected in 1913 by Kieffer for imparunguis collected by Alluaud and Jeannel in British East Africa and changed to Thysanognathus in 1923 when it was pointed out that Hoffman had found ThysAnognathUS and Neoceratopogon to be congeneric.
Abstract: The genus Alluaudomyia was erected in 1913 by Kieffer for imparunguis collected by Alluaud and Jeannel in British East Africa. Since bellus Coq. is regarded as a synonym of splendida (Winn.), Malloch's Neoceratopogon: falls away under Alluaudomyia. Carter, Ingram and Macfie in erecting the genus Prionognathus, pointed out that it was very like Alluaudomyia, but differed chiefly in the character of the wing microtrichia. Prionognathus being preoccupied, the generic name was changed to Thysanognathus. Macfie (1924) in a footnote to his paper on some Egyptian midges pointed out that Hoffman had found Thysanognathus and Neoceratopogon to be congeneric. Johannsen (1934) gives Isoecacta poeyi Garrett as a synonym of C. bellus Coq.

TL;DR: The generic name Lonchitis was lectotypified very early by Brongniart in Bory de Saint Vincent, but was overlooked by all subsequent workers until Pichi Sermolli recently cited it in data prepared for the Index Nominum Genericorum.
Abstract: Lonchitis aurita Linnaeus (1753, p. 1078) is based on plate I7 of Plumier's "Tractatus de Filicibus Americanis," but the identity of this plate has always been uncertain. Jenman (i888) incorrectly equated L. aurita with the African species L. pubescens Willd. ex Kaulf., which is now placed in Blotiella. Urban (I925, p. 394) excluded plate 17 and a few other unidentified plates from his list of the plates he identified in Plumier's "Tractatus" and his "Description des Plantes de l'Amerique." Tryon (1962, p. 95) considered L. aurita to be an illegitimate name because he surmised that plate 17 was based on a mixture of two species, the outline of L. hirsuta and the venation of another, unknown species. I have found out that L. aurita, as depicted in plate 17 of Plumier's "Tractatus" (Fig. i), is an immature specimen of Pteris arborea L. This is the only pedate species of Pteris found on Martinique which has aculeate stipes and (in young specimens) exactly the lamina outline, partial soriation, and venation (except that it is biarcuate, not polyarcuate) depicted in plate 17. Plumier (I705, p. I5) found his specimen in the "quartier du Prescheur," which apparently included the northwest or north end of the island, for today Precheur is the name of a town on the northwest coast. His plate is matched by Duss 1542 (US, Fig. 2), from deep ravines of Ajoupa Bouillon, which is on the northeastern part of the island. Stehle 3326 (US) is a similar specimen collected in the Vallee Lorrain, ca. 8 km to the south of the Duss locality. If my assumption about the Prescheur Quarter is correct, all three specimens must have been collected within 20 km of each other, at the very most. The generic name Lonchitis was lectotypified very early by Brongniart in Bory de Saint Vincent (i826, p. 490): "L'espece qui a servi de type a ce genre, le Lonchitis hirsuta, L., est assez commune a la Martinique et dans les autres iles des Antilles . . . On connait encore quelques especes de ce genre, mais beaucoup plus rares . . ." Unfortunately, this publication was overlooked by all subsequent workers until Pichi Sermolli recently cited it in data prepared for the Index Nominum Genericorum. Of the three original species (L. aurita, L. hirsuta, and L. repens), Presl (I836, p. 162) correctly removed the last to Hypolepis. Trevisan (I85I, p. I66) coined the generic name Anisosorus for Pteris laciniata Willd., a taxonomic synonym of L. hirsuta, but he did not provide a generic description, and so the name is a nomen nudum at that point. Had his generic name been validly published, he would have lectotypified Lonchitis on L. aurita inferentially, as that would have been the only species of the three remaining in Lonchitis. John Smith (I875, p. 292) chose L. aurita as lectotype of Lonchitis, and put L. repens in Hypolepis (p. 235) and L. hirsuta in Pteris sensu stricto (p. 297). The fact that Smith misidentified L. aurita with L. (now Blotiella) lindeniana does not nullify his lectotypification, nor does the fact that plate 17 depicts a juvenile specimen. Many species are based on sterile, juvenile, or otherwise atypical specimens, but these can not be overturned as lectotypes so long as the specimens are consistent with the description or diagnosis, which plate 17 is: "Fructificationes dispositae in lineolas, sinubus folii subjectas, lunulatas" (Linnaeus, I754, p. 485). However, he did not overturn Brongniart's earlier choice of lectotype (Art. 8 of the "International Code of Botanical Nomenclature"), and so cannot be followed. Kuhn
