Figs 1, 2, 4
Diagnosis. Differs from all other species of Archispirostreptus by having a completely smooth antetorsal process and by having fewer body rings. Differs from all congeners except A. gigas (Peters, 1855) and A. divergens Krabbe & Enghoff, 1978, by having a rounded lobe on the gonopod telopodite, distal to the antetorsal process.
Etymology. From Greek mikró (small) and gigas (giant), i.e. a small giant, referring to the relatively small size, especially the low number of body rings. Noun in apposition.

Antarctodius Berge, Vader and Coleman, 1998: 244 Antarctodius Coleman and Kauffeldt, 2001: 427
Type species of the genus Antarctodius antarcticus (Watling et Holman, 1981), described as Odius antacticus Watling et Holman, 1981.
Diagnosis (emended from J. Berge, W. Vader and C. O. Coleman, 1998 with remarks of C. O. Coleman and J. Kauffeldt, 2001 and with author remarks). – Body with rudimentary dorsal keel (Antarctodius antarcticus with inconspicuous keel, Antarctodius noncarinatus sp. n. without dorsal keel: see below); labrum apically cleft; mandibular body conical (not narrow conical), mandible toothed; labium long but apically truncated, covered by small setae; maxilla 1 palp powerful, 2-articulate; maxilliped palp with 4 articles; pereopod 1 subchelate, propodus with strong spine on the posterodistal corner that forms something like a chela; propodus of pereopod 2 rectangular (its proximal width subequal to the distal one), carpus longer or subequal to propodus; metasome segments 1–3 dorsally smooth or metasome 3 dorsally weekly produced; telson entire. The ancient origin of the genus Antarctodius is proved by a wide distribution – in cold waters of northern and southern hemisphere.
The new genus includes 3 species: Antarctodius antarcticus (Watling et Holman, 1981) and Antacrtodius rauscherti Coleman et Kauffeldt, 2001 from the Southern Ocean near Antarctica; Antarctodius noncarinatus, sp. n. from the Okhotsk Sea (Pacific Ocean).

In comparison to the other species treated here, it has the shortest palpal tibia with a length/width ratio of ca. 1.8. Females differ from congeners by having square-shaped endogynal plates (Ep) (vs. lacking in most of the species, or subtriangular in P. thracia Komnenov & Chatzaki, 2016).
Description. See Wiehle (1967) and Grimm (1986).

Diagnosis. Males differ from congeners by having a cylindrical and roundly bent embolus (vs. short, conical and not bent), and by the concave tip of the terminal apophysis (vs. rounded, abrupt or pointed). Females differ from other Asian species by having an undivided fovea and the indistinct glands of the receptacles (vs. fovea either absent and/or copulatory openings located in their own foveae, glands of receptacles distinct).
Description. See Grimm (1986) and Roberts (1995).
Distribution. This species has the widest range among all phrurolithids and is known from the Iberian Peninsula to Japan (WSC 2020). Widespread in Iran, with three records from Azerbaijan (Fig. 14).

description: Similonychiurus gen. n.
Type species: Onychiurus (Protaphorura) voegtlini Christiansen & Bellinger, 1980: 386
Diagnosis. Body white, cylindrical and relatively short, without anal spines. Abdominal segments IV–VI fused dorsally. Dorsal side of body with dorsomedial and lateral pseudocelli. Dorsal posterior cephalic pseudocelli present. Ventral pseudocelli absent. Pseudocelli oval and well chitinised, mushroom-like, distinctly protruding above surface of cuticle. Parapseudocelli absent. Furca reduced to the a small convexity with 1+1 setae and two patches of fine granulation, located by sides. Subapical organite present. Antennal III sense organ consisting of 4 guard setae, 4 papillae and simple, stick-like sensory clubs. Postantennal organ with bilobed vesicles. Labial palp modified, with short papillae and dorsal guards apically dilated. Head of maxilla elongated with modified hypertrophic lamellae projecting beyond tip of the reduced spine-like ungulus. Dorsal chaetotaxy oligochaetotic. Dorsal setae apically pointed, poorly differentiated into macro-, meso-, and microsetae. Sensilla on the body distinct. Head without d0 seta. Tibiotarsi with 11 distal setae. Male ventral organ absent.
Etymology. The genus name is derived from the Latin word “similis”––similar.
Discussion. Because the presence of a functional furca, pigmented body and an unusual maxilla Stach (1954) create the subfamily Lophognathellinae with one genus and species Lophognthella choreutes Börner, 1908. This taxonomic step was supported by Fjellberg (1998/99) which drew attention to large difference between Lophognathella and other onychiurids, especially in labial structure and the general body shape. Ussuriaphorura pluripseudocellata (Martynova, 1979), like Lophognathella, has a strongly modified maxilla, pigmented body and efficient furca and is therefore transfered to the subfamily Lophognathellinae. The type species of Similonychiurus gen. n. also has the same type modification of the labial palp and the maxillary head like Ussuriaphorura. These characters undoubtedly locate the two genera to the subfamily Lophognathellinae, but Similonychiurus takes an isolated position within the subfamily due to the reduced furca and lack of pigment. In addition the structure of the pseudocelli is exceptional, being unique among Onychiuridae.

The genus Dialectica, comprising 24 species, is distributed worldwide, with most species known from Sub-Saharan Africa. The morphological characters of the adults, including their genitalia, were outlined by Vári (1961) and Kuznetzov (1979), but the most comprehensive redescription of the genus was provided by Kumata et al. (1988a). Here we used the following characters as diagnostic for Dialectica: (1) antennal scape with flap of scales; (2) valva with two long combs on inner surface; (3) caudal margin of the male abdominal segment VII well sclerotized with paired processes or notched; (4) ductus bursae long, often partly shagreened and with a pair of valva-shaped sclerites or protuberances.

Comments
Previous diagnoses of Polynema, among them the more recent ones by Graham (1982), Schauff (1984) and Yoshimoto (1990), generally apply to Polynema s. l. rather than to P. (P o l y n e m a) only.
The subgenus Polynema s. str. has a worldwide distribution, and, like P. (Doriclytus), includes many described and undescribed species. The type species of Polynema, P. flavipes Walker (Huber & Bouček 2001), belongs to Polynema s. str. Based on the redescription of P. g r a c i l e (Nees) by Graham (1973b) and our study of the recently collected specimens of this species (deposited in CNCI and UCRC), the type species of Eutriche also belongs to Polynema s. str. The types species of Maidliella and Novickyella, examined at NHMW by SVT, belong to Polynema s. str. as well.
Tarphypolynema Ogloblin was described as a subgenus of Barypolynema (Ogloblin 1960). However, we treat it as a junior synonym of P. (P o l y n e m a) because it has all the features typical of Polynema s. str. Examined were (by SVT) numerous specimens (in CNCI, UCRC, and other collections) of its type species, P. (Polynema) saga (Girault), from North America, including the holotype in the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C., USA (USNM).

description: Detecting and quantifying changes in growth rates of infectious diseases is vital to informing public health strategy and can inform policymakers' rationale for implementing or continuing interventions aimed at reducing impact. Substantial changes in SARS-CoV-2 prevalence with emergence of variants provides opportunity to investigate different methods to do this. We included PCR results from all participants in the UK's COVID-19 Infection Survey between August 2020-June 2022. Change-points for growth rates were identified using iterative sequential regression (ISR) and second derivatives of generalised additive models (GAMs). Consistency between methods and timeliness of detection were compared. Of 8,799,079 visits, 147,278 (1.7%) were PCR-positive. Change-points associated with emergence of major variants were estimated to occur a median 4 days earlier (IQR 0-8) in GAMs versus ISR. When estimating recent change-points using successive data periods, four change-points (4/96) identified by GAMs were not found when adding later data or by ISR. Change-points were detected 3-5 weeks after they occurred in both methods but could be detected earlier within specific subgroups. Change-points in growth rates of SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in near real-time using ISR and second derivatives of GAMs. To increase certainty about changes in epidemic trajectories both methods could be run in parallel.

description: Genus Bosselaerius gen. n.
Type species. Bosselaerius hyrcanicus sp. n.
Etymology. The new genus is named after our colleague Jan Bosselaers (Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium), in recognition of his contributions to arachnology, particularly to the systematics of Liocranidae sensu lato. The gender is masculine.
Diagnosis. The new genus differs from other Phrurolithidae by lacking retrolateral tibial apophyses, the poorlydeveloped palpal femoral extension (Fe), and the lack of terminal and subterminal apophyses of the bulb (Figs 10 C–E, 11A–C) (vs. palpal tibia with at least one retrolateral apophysis, well-developed femoral extension [Figs 2 A–C, 4A, E–F] and presence of apophyses on the tegulum). At least the female of the type species has a dorsal abdominal scutum (vs. absent in females of other genera and in Bosselaerius tajikistanicus sp. n.), and a pair of distinct epigynal hoods (vs. absent in other genera).
Description. Small, body length 2–3.5 mm. Each chelicera with strong frontal spine. Tibia I with 5 pairs of ventral spines in males and 7 pairs in females. Female of the type species with small dorsal scutum; absent or unknown in other species.
Male palp: femur with small ventral extension; tibia without retrolateral apophyses, but with only one small, almost indistinct, dorso-prolateral, spine-like apophysis; tibia distally with dense setae hiding apophysis; bulb lacking apophyses; sperm duct long, reaching middle part of the tegulum, not narrowed in the base of embolus (Be); base of embolus massive, embolus small, spine-like, directed antero-retrolaterally, embolus accompanied with teeth (Te) subequal in size to embolus. Epigyne with a pair of distinct anterior hoods (Ah); secondary (membranous) receptacles small or lacking.
Composition. Bosselaerius hyrcanicus sp. n. (Azerbaijan, Iran), B. tajikistanicus sp. n. (Tajikistan) and B. daoxianensis (Yin, Peng, Gong & Kim, 1997) comb. n. (China). The two latter species are tentatively placed in this genus.

Comments. Only two of the three currently recognized subgenera of Polynema sensu lato occur in Australia, P. (Polynema) and P. (Dorypolynema), whereas only P. (Polynema) is known from New Zealand, where all the recognized species appear to be native. Because Polynema sensu lato, as it is currently recognized, will eventually be recognized as at least two genera (S.V. Triapitsyn, in preparation), providing a diagnosis at this time is pointless. For the time being, a key to the subgenera in Triapitsyn & Fidalgo (2006), and the diagnoses and discussions in Triapitsyn & Fidalgo (2006), Triapitsyn & Aquino (2010), and Rehmat & Anis (2016), as well the generic keys to the Mymaridae of Australia (Lin et al. 2007) and New Zealand (Noyes & Valentine 1989) may be used. All the species of P. (Polynema) in Australia and New Zealand have the same distinctive feature, which is absent from all the extralimital members of the nominate subgenus—the petiole has more or less distinctive lateral “wings” (membrane flaps) anteriorly that are better seen in dorsal view (Figs 41, 67) while often being inconspicuous, as a fine line, in lateral view (Fig. 127). Because of this feature I recognize the species as comprising the newly established, informal draperi species group.
Hosts of Polynema species in Australia and New Zealand are unknown.

Superficially D. odontosema can be easy separated from D. columellina by the white fasciae strongly narrowed towards anterior margin of the forewing and D. pavonicola differs from D. columellina by the wider third transversal fascia. In the male genitalia D. columellina can be distinguished most easily by the presence of pair of separate cornuti near the apex of aedeagus, while in D. odontosema all cornuti are in clusters. In the female genitalia, a pair of sclerotized horns situated just before the corpus bursae in D. columellina (for illustrations refer to Vári 1961, 97, fig. 6), while in D. odontosema and D. pavonicola such horns are present at some distance from corpus bursae.
Flight period. Adults on the wing are recorded in April–May (Vári, 1961).
Host plant(s). Pavonia columella Cav., Malvaceae (Vári 1961).
Distribution. South Africa (Vári 1961); Kenya (new record).
