O. loriae nordicus: Schileyko, 2007, 80. Vietnam. O. loriae nordicus: Tran et al., 2013, 224 (checklist). Vietnam.
Diagnosis. With unusually wide coxosternal tooth-plates occupying the entire anterior margin of coxosternite, with 5–7 large teeth of which the three lateral are clearly isolated.
Distribution. Vietnam.
Remarks. The variation in O. loriae being such as it is, the only character distinguishing O. loriae nordicus is the unusually wide coxosternal tooth-plates. In his email dated 0 6.9.2012 Arkady Schileyko writes that he is convinced that these tooth-plates are not the result of a developmental abnormality and that more material is required to decide whether it (loriae nordicus) is a subspecies or a separate species. It is here retained pending further data. As O. loriae has here been synonymised under O. multidens, O.loriae nordicus becomes O. multidens nordicus comb. nov.

description: Genus Aspidoscopulia Reiswig, 2002
Type species. Claviscopulia furcillata Lévi, 1990: 278 (by monotypy).
Synonymy. Chonelasma sp., Tabachnick, 1988: 63. Part of Chonelasma sp. Tabachnick, 1989: 50, 1991: 380. Part of Farrea sp. Tabachnick, 1988: 60, Pl. 6, Fig. 2. Claviscopulia Levi, 1990: 278.
Diagnosis. Sponge body composed of branching tube which has anisotomous – dichopodial-monopodial constrictions. The main stem branches regularly in alternate position at these constrictions, so that 2 or 4-rayed symmetry is observed in the transverse section, as well as metamery along the main stem. Besides lateral branches in anisotomous sponges, lamellate ear-like processes may develop by the process of side-by-side wall fusion between two neighboring secondary lateral oscula. The ear-like, lamellate processes in the upper part of the body are anastomous, forming more or less regular constructions. Framework of farreoid and euretoid type, sometimes with epirhyses, the primary skeleton underlies not only the atrial cavity, but it is also present in the inner layer of the earlike processes. Dermalia and atrialia are pentactines. Clavules and uncinates always present, as well as aspidoscopules, located in primary skeleton connected with atrial cavity. Aspidoscopules have discoidal head and spines that protrude from a single marginal whorl of the head. Microscleres usually hexasterous with oxyoidal, discoidal and onychoidal outer ends.
Remarks. The original diagnosis of Reiswig (2002) has been modified here due to finding of a new species with peculiar morphology.

Pythamus melichari var. bilobatus Baker, 1923: 367 –368; pl. 2, fig. 13
Material examined. Lectotype ♀ (here designated, Fig. 1 A), 1♀ paralectotype, (fragmented): Sabah, “Sandakan, Borneo, Baker ” (NMNH).
Distribution. Sabah.
Remarks. This species was originally described from an unknown number of females from ‘Borneo, Sandakan (Baker)’. It can be distinguished by the dark brown spot on the mesopleura and forewings mainly hyaline in basal two-thirds of corium and brownish hyaline in distal third to near apex of wing. It is found in the same locality (Sandakan) as the next species. A full description of the female was given by Baker (1923). Further identification awaits the study of associated males.

description: Introduction: Recent evidence suggests an association of plasma Proenkephalin A 119–159 (penKid) with early and successful liberation from continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. However, these exploratory results are derived from a monocentric trial and therefore require external validation in a multicenter cohort. Methods: Data and plasma samples from the “Effect of Regional Citrate Anticoagulation versus Systemic Heparin Anticoagulation During Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy on Dialysis Filter Life Span and Mortality Among Critically Ill Patients With Acute Kidney Injury—A Randomized Clinical Trial” (RICH Trial) were used for this validation study. PenKid was measured in all plasma samples available at CRRT initiation and at day 3 of CRRT. Patients were categorized into low and high penKid groups with a cutoff at 100 pmol/l. Competing-risk time-to-event analyses were performed. Competing risk endpoints were successful and unsuccessful liberation from CRRT, the latter meaning death or initiation of a new RRT within one week of discontinuation of primary CRRT. Then penKid was compared to urinary output. Results: Low pre-CRRT penKid levels at CRRT initiation were not associated with early and successful liberation from CRRT compared to patients with high pre-CRRT penKid levels [subdistribution hazard ratio (sHR) 1.01, 95% CI 0.73–1.40, p = 0.945]. However, the landmark analysis on day 3 of ongoing CRRT demonstrated an association between low penKid levels and successful liberation from CRRT (sHR 2.35, 95% CI 1.45–3.81, p < 0.001) and an association between high penKid levels and unsuccessful liberation (sHR 0.46, 95% CI 0.26–0.80, p = 0.007). High daily urinary output (> 436 ml/d) was even stronger associated with successful liberation (sHR 2.91, 95% CI 1.80–4.73, p < 0.001) compared to penKid. Discussion: This study suggests that penKid may be a competent biomarker to monitor the recovery of kidney function during CRRT. This is in line with previous findings and investigated this concept in a multicenter cohort. Again, low penKid was associated with early and successful CRRT liberation, but was outperformed by high daily urinary output. The findings of this study now warrant further evaluation in prospective studies or a randomized controlled trial. 'Trial registration' The RICH Trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02669589. Registered 01 February 2016.

O. multidens carens: Schileyko, 1995, 74 (in key). O. multidens carens: Schileyko, 2007, 93 (in key). O. multidens carens: Tran et al., 2013, 225 (checklist).
Type material. NHMW. Otostigmus multidens carens Attems 1938. Coll. Musei Vindobonensis Myriapoda. Inv. No 3800 Vietnam, Pulo Dama “Golf v Siam ” leg C. Dawydoff 29.12.1931. Syntype 1.
Description. (Attems data in parentheses where relevant). Length 43 mm. Antennal articles 22, the basal 2.4 glabrous. Forcipular coxosternal tooth-plates with 8 +8 teeth (6+5). Forcipular trochanteroprefemoral process with two small medial denticles.
Tergites 6 to 20 with complete paramedian sutures, marginate from 8 (14) with very slight lateral groove from 8 and weak median keel from 16 to 19. Ultimate tergite with longitudinal depression occupying posterior 50%.
Sternites with short anterior paramedian sutures from 5 to 18 (9–16) occupying anterior 35% on S12. Sternite of ultimate leg-bearing segment with sides converging posteriorly with posterior margin incurved.
Coxopleural process of moderate length with three apical and one lateral spine. No dorsal spines.
Two tarsal spurs on legs 1–18, one on legs 19 and 20 none on 21 (only the first seven pairs of legs with two tarsal spurs). Legs 1–17 with a tibial spur. The single ultimate leg with prefemoral spines VL 3, VM 2, CS 1 (aussen 2, unterinnen 1, innen 1).
Remarks. Attems (1938) differentiated O. multidens carens from O. m. multidens Haase by the first seven pairs of legs only having two tarsal spurs and the smaller number of spines on the ultimate leg prefemur but the specimen here examined runs down to O. multidens in Attems 1930 key. It has legs 1–19 with two tarsal spurs and also the number of prefemoral spines falls within the range for O. m. multidens.
Otostigmus multidens carens I regard as a junior subjective synonym of O. multidens.

Otostigmus nemorensis: Kraepelin, 1903, 119, Fig. 56. Sumatra, Java. O. (O.) nemorensis: Attems, 1930, 142.
Description. Type material not examined. (Silvestri’s data augmented from Kraepelin (1903) the latter in parentheses). Length 44 mm. 21–23 antennal articles, (the basal 2.33 glabrous). 3+3 (or 4+4) forcipular coxosternal teeth. Tergites (without keels or spinules), with paramedian sutures from 4 (5), marginate from 7 (8). Sternites with short (anterior) paramedian sutures and with a posterior median depression. Sternite of ultimate leg-bearing segment subquadrate with a median sulcus (and posterior margin straight). Coxopleural process with two apical and one lateral spine. Legs 1–21 with a tarsal spur. (Two tarsal spurs on legs 1–4, 5–21 with one). Ultimate leg prefemoral spines 5, 3, 3, 3 (VL 4, VM 2, M 2–3, DM 1–2, CS 1).
Remarks. Kraepelin did not examine the type material presumably adding to Silvestri’s data from his Javan material. Attems (1930) repeated Kraepelin’s description except that he stated tergites with spinules (dornstrichelig), probably an error. O. nemorensis is very similar to O. sucki and Kraepelin stated that O. sucki was in many ways a spine-streaked O. nemorensis but I consider that the available data are not sufficient for a definite decision to be made as to its status and therefore regard it, for the present, as a nomen dubium.

(Figs 1 D, 5A–F)
Pythamus melichari var. mindanaensis Baker, 1915: 200
Body length: male 5.9 mm.
Colour as in P. melichari but vertex with medial band extending to posterior margin and only faintly marked with brown next to eye and lora and pleura dark brown rather than yellow (Fig. 1 D).
Male pygofer (Fig. 5 A) with short dorsolateral fracture; process with a few very strong teeth over distal half. Aedeagus (Fig. 5 B, C, D, E) similar to P. melichari but with ventral keel broader with apical narrower part of shaft slightly shorter.
Material examined: Holotype: ♂, Philippines, “IIigan, Mindanao, Baker ” (NMNH).
Distribution. Philippines: Mindanao.
Remarks. This species was originally described from a single specimen (male) from “Iligan, Mindanao”. It can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the male pygofer with a very short dorsolateral fracture and ventral process with more conspicuous teeth.

O. (O.) niasensis: Attems, 1930, 140.
Description. Type material not examined. (Silvestri’s data augmented from Kraepelin (1903), who re-examined the type material. Kraepelin’s data in parentheses). Length 38 (42) mm. 17–22 (16–19) antennal articles (the basal 2.33 glabrous). 3+3 forcipular coxosternal teeth. Tergites without keels but with spinules (laterally with spinules from 12 and rugulose), with paramedian sutures from 4, (6) marginate from 6 (7). Sternites with very short anterior paramedian sutures with median and posterior depressions (without clear depressions). Sternite of ultimate legbearing segment trapezoidal (attenuated). Coxopleural process with three apical spines. Legs 1–20 with a tarsal spur (two tarsal spurs on legs 1–4 or 5, the rest to 20 with one). Ultimate leg prefemoral spines 4, 3, 1, 1 + 5, 1, 2, 2. (VL 4, VM 2, M 1, DM 1, CS 1).
Remarks. Presumably the specimen with 17 antennal articles was a juvenile and the antenna with 16 articles was damaged. O. niasensis is very similar to O metallicus and O. sucki, being differentiated by the coxopleural process with three apical spines only and ultimate leg lacking a tarsal spine, two not totally reliable characters. Like O. sucki it may well be a junior synonym of O. metallicus but it is here retained pending reassessment as more material becomes available.

O. poonamae Khanna & Tripathi, 1986: 38, Figs 1 –6. Himachal Pradesh, India. O. poonamae: Khanna, 2008, 39 (in list).
Remarks. Khanna & Tripathi (1986) characterise the genus Otostigmus primarily as possessing nine pairs of oval unoperculate spiracles and head overlapped posteriorly by tergite 1. However, their Fig. 1 shows the cephalic plate overlapping tergite 1 as, for example, in Scolopendra. Another character seen in Scolopendra but not Otostigmus is the spined ultimate leg prefemoral process. The authors describe tergites 20 and 21 as having a median sulcus but these would appear from their Fig.5 to be sutures, not seen in Otostigmus but present on T 21 in some Scolopendra species. However, the basal 2½–2 2/3 antennal articles are glabrous in O. poonamae as in many Otostigmus species (in Scolopendra the basal four or more articles are glabrous).
Clearly O. poonamae is quite unlike other Otostigmus species. I suspect that it is a Scolopendra and regard it as a nomen dubium.

Diagnosis. (From Joshi & Edgecombe 2013). Otostigmus with 21 elongate antennal articles, the basal 2–2.5 glabrous dorsally; forcipular tooth-plates with 4+4 large teeth, small (fifth) inner tooth variably present; four teeth along margin of forcipular trochanteroprefemoral process; longitudinal median depression on posterior half of tergite of ultimate leg-bearing segment; two apical spines on coxopleural process, dorsal spine rarely present; lateral spine mostly lacking; two tarsal spurs on legs 1–4 to 1–19 (usually 1–17 to 1–19), one on leg 20; a tibial spur typically on legs 1–6 to 1–8; ultimate leg prefemur with 2 VM spines and 2–3 VL spines. (The leg shown in Joshi & Edgecombe’s Fig. 74 has three rows each of two prefemoral spines).
Remarks. Lewis (1996) synonymised Pocock’s O. ruficeps from India under multidens based on an examination of the holotype which has only 5+5 coxosternal teeth and the last four pairs of legs missing. Its distribution when compared to O. multidens, is disjunct. The redescription of the species by Joshi & Edgecombe (1913) is based on new material from the Western Ghats.

description: Genus Parisotoma Bagnall, 1940
The genus is common in both hemispheres, except for the tropical zone (Potapov et al. 2011). Species from the Southern Hemisphere differ by the absence of ms-chaetae on Abd.II and anterior position of s4-chaetae (if present) on Abd.IV (Potapov et al. 2011). Taxonomy of the genus Parisotoma was developed by Fjellberg (1977), Deharveng (1981), Rusek (1984), and Potapov (1991). It is the most diverse genus of Isotomidae for South Africa with several species under description. Here we provide the descriptions of two new species with a reduced set of s-chaetae on the body.

(Figs. 5–6)
Type material: Holotype male (PBI_OON 00015933): West Malaysia: Pahang State: Cameron Highlands, Gunung Jasar, trail 11, 1550 m, tamisage, 24 March 1993, leg. I. Löbl & F. Calame, deposited in MHNG.
Etymology: The species epithet is a noun in apposition, composed of the Latin words bi (two) and lingua (tongue), and refers to the two tongue-like lobes baso-ventrally on the male palpal conductor.
Diagnosis: Trilacuna bilingua resembles T. merapi but can be easily distinguished by the two small conspicuous basal lobes (lo) ventrally on the palpal conductor (figs. 6. D–E) and by the lateral carapace margin with blunt denticles, and a second, strongly rebordered, undulated margin below (figs. 5. E–G).
Description: Description based on 1 male.
MALE (holotype): Body length 2.1 mm, proportion carapace length:abdominal length 1:1. Uniformly dark red-brown species (figs. 5. A–C).
Carapace ovoid, slightly elevated, surface smooth, with one tiny dorsal spike (sp), (fig. 5. C). Eyes posterior row recurved from above, straight from front (fig. 5. G). Sternum with radial furrows of large pits between coxae, medial surface coarsely reticulate (fig. 5. D), anterior margin with transverse groove; setae sparse, light, needlelike, evenly scattered. Mouthparts: Labium rectangular, not fused to sternum, anterior margin deeply incised (ldi), (figs. 5. H–I); endites slender, distally not branched, distal-outer part excavated (dex), (figs. 5. H–I).
Abdomen: Ovoid, dorsal scutum not fused to epigastric scutum, postepigastric scutum long, semicircular, with short, posteriorly directed lateral apodemes, posterior spiracles not connected by groove but connection indicated by dark belt.
Legs: Ventral apex of tibiae III and IV with some specialized hairs with fine, plumose, curved hair tip (see fig. 16. H), metatarsi III, IV and tarsus IV with harpoon-like hairs (see fig. 2. G). Femora without spines.
Male genitalia: Epigastric region with small dark dot (dd) posterior of sperm pore at level of posterior spiracles (fig. 6. A). Male palp (figs. 6. B–F): Embolus (em) light, long and straight, framed by some dorsal hairs (dh) (figs. 6. D–F); ventral conductor (vc) shorter than embolus, composed of a single branch enclosed by sparse, distally dense hairs (figs. 6. D–F). Bulb nearly as long as cymbium, stout, tapering apically (figs. 6. B–C). Femur elongated, slender (figs. 6. B–C).
FEMALE: unknown.
Remark: The patella of leg IV of the holotype carries a presumed parasite.
Distribution: Known only from the type locality in West-Malaysia, the Gunung Jasar in the Cameron Highlands.

description: Beluesca n. gen.
Type-species: B. littlewoodi n. sp.
Diagnosis: Body elongate, widest near level of testes or slightly posterior; length/width ratio c. 2.8–8.7. Tegument with small to minute spines. Oral sucker funnel-shaped, with large oral spines, opens terminally. Ventral sucker unspecialised, embedded in ventrogenital sac. Ratio oral/ventral sucker width c. 1.6–2.6. Forebody occupies c. 1/2–2/3 body length. Prepharynx shorter than oesophagus. Oesophagus long. Intestinal bifurcation in approximately mid-forebody, well anterior to ventral sucker. Caeca blind, terminate close to posterior end of body. Testes two, opposite to oblique, in anterior hindbody. Seminal vesicle tubulosaccular. Common genital pore immediately anterior to ventral sucker. Gonotyl absent. Ovary deeply lobed, ventral to or immediately anterior to testes. Seminal receptacle tubulosaccular, posterior to ovary, may extend well posterior to testes. Vitelline follicles in two lateral groups, may extend from ovary to near intestinal bifurcation. Uterine coils restricted to hindbody, extend from posterior end of body to ventral sucker. Excretory vesicle Yshaped; arms reach to level of pharynx or between pharynx and oral sucker. In marine fishes (Haemulidae); tropical Indo-West Pacific.
Etymology: The name Beluesca is derived from the Latin belua, meaning beast or monster and esca, meaning bait. It is proposed in recognition of the original purpose for capturing the host individual found to harbour the type-species, which was as bait for a large serranid off Lizard Island. It is to be treated as feminine.
Differential diagnosis: Beluesca n. gen. is distinguished from all other cryptogonimid genera by the combination of an elongate body, funnel-shaped oral sucker, the relatively small number of large oral spines, highly lobed ovary, opposite to slightly oblique testes, uterine loops that are restricted to the hindbody and extend well posterior to the testes, and vitelline follicles that may extend from the ovary into the forebody, but do not extend anterior to the intestinal bifurcation.
