(Figs 13 – 16)
Medinodexia fulviventris Townsend, 1927: 57. Lectotype ³ [by designation of Crosskey (1969: 98); Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, The Netherlands]. Type locality: Indonesia: Sumatra, Tandjunggadang.
Specimens examined. Malaysia, Borneo: 3 ³³, Sabah, Crocker Range, Inobong, 4–5.ii.2004, T. Tachi & H. Shima leg. (BLKU, ITBC); 4 ³³, Sabah, Crocker Range, Inobong, 2.v.2004, T. Tachi leg. (BLKU, ITBC); 3 ³³, Sabah, Crocker Range, Inobong, 2–5.ii.2006, T. Tachi & H. Shima leg. (BLKU); 4 ³³, Sabah, Crocker Range, Inobong, 23–26.ii.2006, T. Tachi leg. (BLKU, ITBC); 1 ♀, Danum Valley, West trail, 25.xi.2002, Malaise trap, T. Tachi leg. (ITBC).
Diagnosis. Very similar to M. japonica sp. nov., but differing from it as follows: antenna with first flagellomere rather long, approximately 4.5 times as long as pedicel; gena approximately 0.2 of eye height; fore tibia with 2 posterior setae; male abdominal sternite 5 elongated, rectangular, distinctly longer than wide; male cercus slightly slenderer than that of M. japonica in lateral view.
Distribution. Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia (Borneo).
Host(s). Unknown.
Remarks. Tachi & Shima (2010) included this species, as “ Medinodexia sp.”, in their molecular phylogeny, and it was classified in Blondeliini. It is very similar to M. japonica sp. nov. in the male and female postabdominal characters, but the male sternite 5 differs distinctly from that of M. japonica in the long anterior part. This is the first record of this species from Borneo, Malaysia. No hosts have so far been recorded for this species. A detailed description was given by Shima (1997).

Diagnosis. O. floccosa is distinctive by the long and dense reddish brown scales on the hind leg, and the basal half of the hind wing in the males. O. floccosa has a simple valva as in O. hypocrites and related species mentioned under that species, but the valva is much shorter, the costal length is also relatively short (less than the saccus length). But in O. hypocrites and other close related species the costa is longer than the saccus. The male genitalia resemble those of O. glabrosa Holloway, 1996 (Borneo; BMNH Slide No. 16747) and O. simplex (Warren, 1912) (Sulawesi, Seram, Irian Jaya); but O. glabrosa and O. simplex lack any sclerites related to the juxta, which are present but small and blunt in O. floccosa. The eighth sternite is quite different from other congeners. It is deeply concave mesally in O. floccosa, but only shallowly excavated in O. glabrosa. The female genitalia are distinctive in having two finger-like lateral lobes at the juncture of the ductus bursae and the corpus bursae.
Distribution. China (Hainan), Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia.

Examined material: Holotype: MZUSP 0 0 0 92 one colony, Quebramar Norte, Salvador, Bahia, 12°57’52” S, 38°30’57” W, 4 m, col. R. M. Rocha, 11.12.2007.
Etymology. The name refers to the elongated stomach that is uncommon in didemnids.
The colony is encrusting, around 10 cm long and 2 mm thick. Beige with orange zooids, the colony has large circular cloacae with lobed rim (Fig. 8 A). When preserved in formalin the colony turns white. Spicules are very dense in the surface of the colony, but less so in the middle and basal tunic layers. Spicules are large and stellate, between 60 and 100 µm with 9–10 short conic rays in optical transverse section (Fig. 8 B).
Zooids are 1.5 mm long. When relaxed, the thorax is larger than the abdomen. The oral siphon is tubular with shallow rounded lobes. The atrial aperture is wide exposing the pharynx, atrial languet is absent. The muscular process projects from the base of the thorax and is longer than the abdomen. Thoracic organs are elongated, protruding, located between the third and fourth rows of stigmata close to the endostyle. Each row has 5–6 stigmata on each side (Figs. 8 C, 9A).
No stolonic vessels were observed in the abdomen. The esophagus is short. In general, all zooids have elongated stomach, but not all of them as long as in Figs. 8 D and 9B. The intestine does not form a secondary loop and the ascending portion passes beside, without overlaying, the stomach. The testis has a single and spherical follicle, surrounded by 8 coils of the sperm duct (Figs. 8 E, 9B). Larvae are oval, 0.4 mm trunk length, around which the tail winds half way. Three adhesive papillae are present, with long and wide stalks plus six pairs of ectodermal ampullae. The sensorial vesicle (including ocellus and otolith) is in the mid-dorsal region of the larval trunk (Figs. 8 F, 9C).
Remarks. No other Didemnum species has an elongated stomach as in D. longigaster. The combination of this elongated stomach, large spicules and larvae with six pairs of ectodermal ampullae is also unique. In the Atlantic, two other species are of the same colony color. Didemnum granulatum have a beige color morph, but the colony surface has small projections filled with spicules, that are much smaller than in D. longigaster (Rocha et al. 2005). Didemnum vexillum Kott, 2002 does not occur in Brazilian coastal waters, and it has smaller spicules and larger larvae (Kott 2002).

Material. PMBC 24793, one complete serial sagittal section of an immature specimen, living specimens in squeeze preparations, and three whole mounts for fluorescence microscopy.
Locality. On green algae in the brackish part of a little stream which runs into the northeastern corner of Yon Bay, Phuket Island, Thailand (7°48’54.9” N, 98°23’37.4” E).
Description. Living animals are ~ 1.1 mm long and ~ 0.7 mm wide (Fig. 1 A). The epidermis is entirely ciliated, with cilia that are ~10 µm long. The nuclei of the epidermis are sunken beneath the body-wall musculature. The dorsal epidermis contains concrements that appear white in reflected light, black in transmitted light. The concrements are arranged in star-shaped patterns (Fig. 1 C) and form dense aggregations at the anterior end (Fig. 1 B) and dorsal to the digestive syncytium (Fig. 1 A).
The brain consists of an anterior arch with lateral thickenings and a central mass, the nuclei lying ventrally. There are five pairs of longitudinal nerve cords: two dorsal pairs, a thick lateral pair, and two weak ventral pairs. Two red, 25 µm-wide ocelli lie at the anterior tip (Figs. 1 A, B). No statocyst is present.
Numerous, 20–24 µm-wide zooxanthellae are scattered throughout the parenchyma (Figs. 1 A, B). Nearly translucent specimens with 10 or fewer symbiotic algae are quite common, but most are colored because of zooxanthellae in the parenchyma..
Rhabdoid gland cells and mucous gland cells occur on the entire body surface, most numerous dorsally and at the anterior tip of the body. The rhabdoids are translucent, refractile, occur in bundles of up to 25, and are ~15 µm long (Fig. 1 C). A “common” frontal organ is absent, but a few gland cells with small vesicles originate posterior to the brain, run to the anterior tip, and protrude separately. Aggregations of black granules appear as black spots up to 10 µm in diameter on the dorsal surface posterior to the eyes (Fig. 1).
The digestive system of all investigated specimens was filled with numerous diatoms and crustaceans.
Remarks. Although all specimens investigated were immature, the species can clearly be placed closest to Amphiscolops blumi Achatz et al., 2007, and A. langerhansi Graff, 1882. All share numerous characters, most importantly the star-shaped concrements and their distribution, the possession, kind, and distribution of zooxanthellae, the structure, form and distribution of the rhabdoid gland cells, and the absence of a true frontal organ (see Achatz et al. 2007).
Several specimens exhibited signs of asexual reproduction by transverse fission as described by Hanson (1960) for A. langerhansi. The lack of a statocyst in all investigated specimens is additional evidence that this was an asexually reproducing population.

Diagnosis. P. proquadraria is very similar to P. antiquadraria, except for the green frons, which is brown in P. antiquadraria. Moths of P. proquadraria are smaller than that of P. antiquadraria, with a forewing length 14–17 mm compared to 15–19 mm in both sexes. These two species can be distinguished on genitalia. The costal extension in P. proquadraria is straight and tapering and is not as curved as in P. antiquadraria. It is located much more distally than that of P. antiquadraria. The lateral processes in the male eighth sternite are much shorter than in P. antiquadraria, and are forked or divided into three thorns at the tip. However in P. antiquadraria, there are several teeth on the inner surface. The lamella antevaginalis in the female genitalia is smaller with two sclerites in P. proquadraria, but band-like and with two lateral processes in P. antiquadraria.
Distribution. China (Taiwan), Japan, India.

Tibet (IZCAS): Mêdog, 812–1091 m, 14–23.VIII.2006, coll. Lang Songyun, 53 (Slide No. 1222, 1224).
Diagnosis. This and the next species are very similar in the male genitalia for both having recurved costal extensions, tapering at both ends but broad mesally. Also the distal half of the valva are narrower than in other congeners. The males of both species have a semicircular eighth abdominal tergite, and are distinctive in the eighth sternite by the large curved lateral processes, which are bifid apically, and with another tooth mesally. Inoue (2006) stated that sometimes there are two spines mesally, of which one may be forked. For additional comparisons see the following species descriptions.
Distribution. China (Taiwan, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Tibet), Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia.
Remarks. One male specimen (Slide No. 1244) from Jianfengling, Hainan is different from others by having two small protrusions on the terminal margin of the saccus, which is only present in this single specimen. When more specimens having the same saccus were found, a distinct species would be erected.

Figs 18, 37, 55, 80
Description. Head: Antenna bipectinate in male, adpressed, unknown in female. Frons brown. Labial palpus brown, ventral surface whitish. Vertex greenish. Thorax: Dorsal side of thorax green, concolorous with wings, ventral side white. Hind tibia with two pairs of spurs in male. Forewing length: 317 mm. Wings green. Forewing: costa yellow; antemedial and postmedial lines almost straight from costa to inner margin. Hind wing with postmedial line straight from costa to M3, then bending inwards and sinuous to inner margin. Fringes of both wings bluish green. Abdomen: Eighth tergite in male with distal half narrow and posterior margin almost flat. Eighth sternite bearing two large lateral processes, basal half straight, distal half slightly curved, unevenly bifid at tip with the diverging point at about distal one-fifth. Male genitalia: Uncus rod-like, slightly tapering. Socii relatively narrow and tapering. Gnathos lacking basal and lateral protrusion, with median process rod-like. Valva broad, blunt terminally; costal extension arising from less than distal one-fourth, slightly recurved. Ventral margin of valva with a small excavation medially. Juxta large, with two small lateral processes protruding posteriorly. Saccus rounded. Aedeagus spinulose posteriorly, both lateral lobe and cornutus blunt and slightly sclerotized. Female genitalia: Unknown.
Material examined. Holotype 3, CHINA: Yunnan (IZCAS): Xishuangbanna, Xiaomengyang, 850 m, 3.VII.1957, coll. Wang Shuyong (Slide No. 1246).
Diagnosis. The differences from the previous species are listed under P. subquadraria. In the male genitalia, the recurved costal extension is similar to that of P. rana Holloway, 1996 (Borneo) and P. tridens Holloway, 1996 (Borneo), but it is located more distally than in the other two species. The lateral processes on the eighth sternite are slender and unevenly forked in P. sinuspinae, but short, broad and bearing three to four spines in P. rana and P. tridens.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Etymology. The specific name is from the Latin prefix sinu- and the Latin word spina, referring to the curved costal extension.

Material. PMBC 24800 and PMBC 24801, two complete sets of serial sagittal sections of mature specimens, and living specimens in squeeze preparations.
Collection locality. In fine-grained sediment between corals at the entrance of Makham Bay (Port of Phuket; 7°48’42.5” N, 98°24’22.9” E) and in front of the PMBC (7°48’9.4” N, 98°24’27.9” E).
Description. Mature animals are egg-shaped, 300–400 µm long and up to 190 µm wide (Fig. 11 A).
A statocyst measuring ~16 µm in diameter is present ~30 µm behind the anterior tip (Figs. 11 A, E).
Numerous yellow-brown zooxanthellae are scattered throughout the parenchyma (Figs. 11 A, B, C, D, E). A few rhabdoid gland cells containing refractive, needle-shaped rhabdoids are distributed on the dorsal side. The frontal organ fills the anterior third of the animal, and in front of the statocyst a large reservoir is formed.
The mouth is positioned in the anterior half of the body and opens to an indistinct digestive syncytium, which often contains diatoms.
The diffuse testes are paired, lying dorsolateral to the ovary, and originate in an unpaired germative zone behind the statocyst. Droplet-shaped spermatids enter the seminal vesicle on its dorsoventral side.
The unpaired ovary lies ventral to the testes. Female gonopore and vagina are both absent. The welldeveloped seminal bursa has a distinct wall and a bursal nozzle that is ~16 µm long and directed anteroventrally (Figs. 11 B, C).
The male gonopore lies in a subterminal indentation of the body wall. The male copulatory organ consists of a seminal vesicle and a glandular bladder, which contains a ~15 µm long, sclerotized penial structure (Fig. 11 D).
Remarks. The copulatory organs clearly place this species in the genus Picola, and the diffuse gonads, the droplet-shaped sperm filling the seminal vesicle, and the absence of large vacuoles within the parenchyma show the conspecificity with the type species of the genus, Picola renei Achatz & Hooge, 2006. However, I could detect a small difference between the animals in Tanzania and Phuket Island. The bursal nozzle of all investigated specimens were straight in contrast to the animals in Tanzania, which have a bulge at the proximal end of the bursal nozzle (in Picola caribbea Achatz et al., 2007 the bulge is at the distal end of the bursal nozzle). I refrain from taking this difference as a species-specific character but interpret it as an indicator for a distinct population.
The occurrence of Picola renei in Tanzania and Thailand suggests a distribution at least throughout the whole northern Indian Ocean.

Diagnosis. The male genitalia of R. viridicaput, R. subviridis and R. minimus (Inoue, 2003) (Palau Islands), are quite different to those of R. spiniseparati (Holloway, 1996) (Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo) and R. longicornuta Inoue, 2006 (Philippines) on their relatively shorter juxtal processes. Additionally, the male eighth sternite bears two pairs of scobinate pointed processes in R. viridicaput and R. subviridis, but only one pair of processes in R. minimus. The juxtal processes are curved and broader in R. subviridis, but slightly tapering and straight in R. viridicaput. The cucullus is totally scobinate, but only scobinate at mesally in R. subviridis. The female genitalia are firstly described here as below. Female genitalia: The lamella postvaginalis is a sub-quadrate spinose area, with a denser central ridge extending anteriorly. The width of the ductus bursae is less than half the width of the oval corpus bursae. The signum is absent.
Distribution. China (Hainan), Malaysia, Indonesia.
