(Figure 5e: holotype J)
Aegognathus dulima Cáceres et al., 2019: 2150 (original combination and description)
Examined material
Holotype J labelled: Colômbia, Tolima, Ibagué, Termales el Rancho, Cañon del Río Combeima, 31.viii.2014, 4.0817°N, 79.727°W, 2987 m, luminosa – Y. Gutiérrez and I. C. Ríos-Málaver. 1J (CERPE).
Diagnosis
Body black, with distinct bluish and reddish reflections. Head setose along the anterior margin. Eyes slightly emarginate; mandibles dorsally carinate at the base, wavy internally, with a subtriangular median tooth and two rounded basal teeth. Three longitudinal costae over the elytra. Abdominal ventrites with yellowish setae, especially along ventrite V; Ventrite I–IV with wrinkled lateral margins. Genitalia (Figure 8e) small compared with other Aegognathus species, with a short and flat everted sac. For the complete description see Cáceres et al. (2019).
Distribution
Colombia, Northern Central Cordillera. Magdalena province (Morrone et al. 2022).
Remarks
Aegognathus dulima is the second Colombian species of this genus; it was recently described by Cáceres et al. (2019) and represents the first description for Aegognathus after the important contributions published by Arnaud and Bomans between 2000 and 2010. Besides being the second species of the genus known from Colombia, it is the one with the highest altitude record, collected close to 3000 m asl, in the proximity of the snow-capped mountain ′ Nevado del Tolima ̍, located in a region of high conservation value. Until now only the holotype male was known. For the complete description see Cáceres et al. (2019).

Aegognathus arnaudi Cáceres et al., 2019: 2152 (original combination and description)
(Figure 5f–g: holotype J and paratype ♀)
Examined material
Holotype male labelled: ′ Peru, Region de Junín, Satipo Province, Arpayo, −11.457 / −76.643, 1800 m, 26–28.ix. 2008, fermented bait in canopy, J.M. Zevallos et Aguilar colls̍. – 1J (CERPE).
Diagnosis
Species very similar to Aegognathus waterhousei, differing in a few characters. Body black with some bluish reflections present on the elytra. Abdominal ventrites with a somewhat continuous carina along sides and lacking the setose tubercles present at the last abdominal ventrite in A. waterhousei. Large aedeagus (Figure 8f) compared with other Aegognathus species, dorsal cross bar slightly lobed posteriorly with no acuminate projections. Females of this species differ from males in presenting a reduction in head and mandible size; and in the punctation, which is stronger in females, with coarse dense to contiguous punctures along dorsal surface. Styli (Figure 8g) symmetrical with truncate apex with a short distance in between. For the complete description see Cáceres et al. (2019).
Distribution
Southern Peru, Central Cordillera. Ucayali province (Morrone et al. 2022).
Remarks
Aegognathus arnaudi was recently described by Cáceres et al. (2019). This species is very similar to the type species A. waterhousei, differing only in a few characters, such as the missing lateral tubercles at the last ventrite and the absence of posterior projections at the dorsal cross bar of the aedeagus. According to the collection data, these two cryptic species seem to be sympatric. For the complete description, see Cáceres et al. (2019).

[Synonymy fide Read, 2015]
Diagnosis. Prostomium pointed on anterior margin, sometimes truncate, posteriorly extended into pointed caruncle, rarely flattened or depressed or blunt, caruncle attached or detached; occipital tentacle present or absent. Peristomium well-developed, with or without lateral wings encompassing prostomium partially. Nuchal organs and metameric dorsal ciliated organs not discernable (by means of light microscopy). Palps without median ciliated groove, but usually with two distinctly or indistinctly separated bands of transverse rows of cilia present. Branchiae present from chaetiger 2, continuing to near end of body, in anterior chaetigers completely fused to notopodial lamellae or distally free; accessory branchiae present or absent. Anterior chaetae limbate capillaries, usually arranged in two rows; posteriorly hooks and capillaries present, hooks with 0–3 apical teeth with a falcate or straight shaft (subgenus Scolelepis) or multidentate with large main fang, several apical teeth and curved shaft (subgenus Parascolelepis). In Parascolelepis palpal sheaths are well-developed, in Scolelepis palpal sheaths are short and fused to the palp. Pygidium with oval disc or multilobed.
Remarks. According to Eibye-Jacobsen (1997) Scolelepis (Parascolelepis) appears to be defined on the basis of good autapomorphies, whereas Scolelepis (Scolelepis) may well be paraphyletic. Some authors have used Scolelepis and Parascolelepis as full genera (e.g., Blake & Arnofsky 1999, Williams 2007) though a formal statement regarding this matter was not given.

description: Die Kartographie gehört zu den ältesten Bildwissenschaften. In ihrer langen Geschichte musste sie sich mit zahlreichen Bildproblemen auseinander setzen und kam dabei mit zahlreichen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen in Verbindung. In den letzten Jahrzehnten erfolgte die Bewältigung der allgemeinen Bildproblematik in der theoretischen Kartographie vorwiegend aus semiotischer Sicht. Die traditionelle Einengung des Bildbegriffes wurde dabei weiterhin beibehalten. Die Vorteile eines umfassenderen Bildbegriffes werden hier am Beispiel der Beziehungen von Bildhaftigkeit, Ähnlichkeit und Verallgemeinerung gezeigt.
description: Cartography is one of the oldest image sciences. In its long history, it had to deal with numerous image problems and came into contact with numerous scientific disciplines in the process. In recent decades, theoretical cartography has dealt with the general problem of images primarily from a semiotic perspective. The traditional narrowing of the concept of image has been maintained. The advantages of a more comprehensive concept of image are shown here using the example of the relationships of imagery, similarity and generalisation.

Es werden verschiedene Ansätze zum Verständnis räumlicher Konzepte in der Kartographie vorgestellt. Es wird weiterhin ein Ansatz zum Verständnis des kartografischen Raums aus der Perspektive der Bild- und Raumwissenschaften entwickelt. Es handelt sich dabei vor allem um das Konzept des "konkreten visuellen Raums" und um seine kartographische Beziehung.
description: The paper contains a historical overview of the development of cartography and its relations to other sciences, including astronomy, mathematics, geodesy and photogrammetry. Different approaches to understanding spatial concepts in cartography are presented. An approach to understanding cartographic space from the perspective of image and spatial sciences is further developed. This is mainly the concept of "concrete visual space" and its cartographic relationship.

Spiophanes viriosus Meißner & Hutchings, 2003: 123, figs 1a, 2e, h, 4, 5. Spiophanes cf. kroeyeri.— Blake & Kudenov 1978: 225, fig. 27, in part. Spiophanes sp. 2.— Wilson & McDiarmid 2003.
Material examined. AM W.44566, MI QLD 2379, af, formalin.
Diagnosis. Prostomium with distinct anterolateral projections. Occipital antenna present. Nuchal organs as two long parallel ciliary bands along dorsum. Chaetal spreader of “2+3 type ” (see Meißner & Hutchings 2003) with undulate opening in chaetigers 5–7. Ventrolateral intersegmental pouches present from between chaetigers 14–15. Neuropodial hooks starting on chaetiger 15, hooks quadridentate without hood. Sabre chaetae from chaetiger 4. Dark brownish pigment posteriorly along vertical slit of glandular organs of chaetigers 9–12, most conspicuous on chaetiger 9.
Description. For a detailed species description see Meißner & Hutchings (2003). Descriptive notes here on single specimen examined in the course of the present study: Anterior fragment with 20 chaetigers, total length 4.1 mm, width 0.65 mm (measured at chaetiger 4, chaetae and postchaetal lobes omitted). Two groups of red eyes on the prostomium, four small round eyes on each side. Nuchal organs as two long parallel ciliary bands along dorsum, slightly diverging at end and terminating on chaetiger 16. Dorsal ciliated crests apparent from chaetiger 16 until the end of the fragment. From chaetiger 15, one row of maximally four quadridentate hooks without hood present in neuropodia. Sabre chaetae start on chaetiger 4. Ventrolateral intersegmental pouches first fully developed between chaetigers 15 and 16. Yellow-brown pigment in neuropodia of chaetiger 9.
Remarks. The specimen is in good agreement with the original description by Meißner & Hutchings (2003). Minor deviations concern the greater number of eyes, the length of the nuchal organ which is slightly shorter in the specimen from Lizard Island, and the first presence of fully developed ventrolateral intersegmental pouches between chaetigers 15 and 16 instead of between chaetigers 14 and 15 as originally described for S. viriosus. Only four neuropodial hooks in one row are present in the Lizard Island specimen whereas initially 5–7 hooks are mentioned in the original description. The observed differences could be due to the small size of the examined specimen from the present collection.
Habitat / Ecology. In the Lizard Island area a single specimen in subtidal depths in coral sand at Yonge Reef.
Distribution. Australia: Queensland.

Genus Quemisia Miller 1929 (1 species)
Discussion: Known only from sub-Recent fossils from Greater and N Lesser Antilles (Woods, 1989 a). Whether Amblyrhiza and Clidomys became extinct before or after humans arrived in the West Indies is debatable. This family is often placed near the Chinchillidae based on similar laminar plates of molariform teeth. One genus (Quemisia) is very similar in dental morphology to capromyids, however, and it is possible to derive all of the conditions seen in heptaxodontids from dental patterns found within the Capromyidae. This family should be placed adjacent to the Capromyidae.

Conservation: Extinct.
Discussion: C. parvus is here synomized with C. osborni based on Morgan and Wilkins (2003), who noted the wide size range of C. osborni specimens from Slue's Cave, Jamaica. They interpreted this size range to indicate that C. osborni is the only valid species of Clidomys present in Jamaica.

Epanerchodus lipsae Golovatch and Geoffroy, 2014: 102, figs 17–20, map 3.
Material examined: 6 males, 8 females (SCAU) from China, Sichuan Province, Mianyang City, Beichuan County, Xunlongshan Mountain, Wolong Dong Cave, 15.VII.2014; 8 males, 26 females (SCAU) from the same county, Yuanwang Dong Cave, 16.VII.2014; 10 males, 19 females (SCAU) from Sichuan Province, Jiangyou City, Hanzeng Town, Shuimen Dong Cave, 19.VII.2014, colls: Weixin Liu, Haomin Yin, Sunbin Huang and Xinhui Wang.
Notes: This species is diagnosed by the gonopod showing a peg-shaped exomere (ex) and a ribbon-shaped endomere (en). The endomere has an axe-shaped mesal process (p) and a long, flagelli- or spiniform process (a) at its base (Fig. 19). Epanerchodus lipsae has been described from a few caves in Jiangyou and Beichuan counties in northeastern Sichuan Province. The material examined here comes from several additional caves and agrees with the original description in morphological characters (Golovatch & Geoffroy 2014); only the body length is more variable in these specimens: ca 16–28 vs. 22–26 mm.

description: Subfamily Postporinae Yamaguti, 1958
Diagnosis. (Based on Manter 1947; Yamaguti 1958; Cribb 2005) Body small, rounded, oval-elongate. Tegument spinous. Eye-spot pigment present as granules in forebody. Oral sucker subterminal, unspecialized. Ventral sucker unspecialized, pre-equatorial. Prepharynx very short. Pharynx large. Esophagus short, muscular. Intestinal bifurcation in forebody. Caeca wide, end blindly, extend well into post-equatorial region. Testes two, tandem, postovarian, in hindbody. Cirrus pouch absent. Seminal vesicle tubular. Pars prostatica present. Genital pore median, immediately posterior to ventral sucker. Ovary globular, smooth, in hindbody, median to submedian, pre-testicular. Canalicular seminal receptacle and Mehlis’ gland present. Laurer’s canal present. Vitellarium follicular; follicles lateral, mainly in hindbody and just enter forebody. Uterus between ovary and ventral sucker. Eggs medium in size, thin-shelled. Excretory vesicle I-shaped, extend to level of pharynx; excretory pore terminal. Adults in intestine of marine serranid fishes; Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Type and only genus. Postporus Manter, 1949 (Syn. Opisthoporus Manter, 1947 pre-occupied).
Remarks. Members of the Postporinae are unique within the Megaperidae n. comb. in possessing a genital pore that is median and immediately posterior to the ventral sucker. At present, this is a monotypic subfamily with Postporus as the type and only genus (Cribb 2005).
Manter (1947) erected Opisthoporus Manter, 1947 with the description of Opisthoporus epinepheli Manter, 1947 parasitizing the intestine of the red grouper, Epinephelus morio (Valenciennes), and Opisthoporus mycteropercae Manter, 1947 infecting the intestine of the yellowfin grouper, Mycteroperca venenosa (Linnaeus) (Perciformes: Serranidae), from off Dry Tortugas, Florida. This digenean genus was renamed Postporus when Manter (1949) discovered that Opisthoporus was pre-occupied, and Cribb & Gibson (2017b) have since designated Postporus mycteropercae (Manter, 1947) Manter 1949 a synonym of Postporus epinepheli (Manter, 1947) Manter 1949, the type and only species known of this genus. As alluded to by Cribb (2005, p. 624), the Postporinae remains highly dubious and needs further (especially molecular) study.

Anthocomus abdominalis Pic, 1903: 106 (“ Chine Chang-Haï”); Wittmer 1940: 101, 104; 1995: 374;
Anthocomus (Paremballus) abdominalis: Evers 1949 (1945–48): 59–60;
Anthocomus (Anthocomus) abdominalis: Mayor 2007: 438.
Remarks. This species was described from female possessing a distinctive colouration, red-brown abdomen. According to the monochromous dark coloured upperside, the species belongs to a group of black-coloured Anthocomus. Main typical characters of the species are: legs uniformly black, head, pronotum and elytra black with strong blue metallic luster, palpae dark brown, impression in elytral apices of male red inside. Original description by Pic (1903: 106) is as follows: “ Anthocomus (? Paremballus) abdominalis ♀. Allongé, alutacé sur l’avant-corps, un peu brillant sur les élytres, orne d’une fine pubescence couchée grise, avec quelques poils obscurs soulevés, ceux-ci courts; insecte bleuâtre avec l’abdomen rougeâtre; prerniers articles des antennes en dessous et genoux maculés de testacé, poitrine verte et métaIlique; tête impressionnée entre les antennes, celles-ci assez robustes, subdentées, à 3 e article un peu plus long que 4 e, 4 e plus large que 5 e, dernier allongé; prothorax presque droit sur les côtés, un peu plus étroit que les élytres qui sont très longs, subtronqués au sommet; tibias postérieurs longs, arqués, peu épais. Long. 4–5 mill. Chine: Chang-Haï. Reçu de M. A. Théry.—Espèce bien distincte par sa forme longue jointe à sa coloration”.
Evers (1949) studied a batch of beetles (including 15 ♂♂ and 4 ♀♀) collected in April of 1937 and 1938 by J. Klapperich and H. Höne in Shanghai and “Kuatun, Fukuen Province of China ”. Kuatun is situated c. 130 km northwest of Shaowu, at an elevation of c. 2000 m, in the midst of wooded hills (Stefen & Fieler 2004), now Guadun town, Fujian Province, Republic of China (Yang et al. 2014). These specimens resembled Pic’s diagnosis of A. abdominalis and all had a red abdomen. The male, described and special characters discussed by Evers (1949), is true Anthocomus Erichson belonging to the group of black-coloured species.
Distribution. The species was collected from Southeast China, near Shanghai (31°13′N; 121°28′E) and Guadun (27°40′N; 117°40′E).
