Material: MHNG; 1 male [sample AS-05/11]; INDONESIA, Java, West Java Province, Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, near Cibodas, 6°47’0”S, 107°01’0”E, 1450-1600 m a.s.l.; 4.-11.V.2005; leg. A. Schulz.
Remarks: This species is a probably new and similar to Palaearctic congeners. It is characterized by a long, ribbon-shaped, distally darkened radical apophysis. The shape and the position of this sclerite strongly resembles the micronetine’s lamella characteristica and it was incorrectly named so by authors who described species in this genus, e.g. Tu & Li (2006), Tu & Hormiga (2011), Wang et al. (2015), etc.

Kyphomachaerota

description: Kyphomachaerota gen. n.
Type Species: Kyphomachaerota maaia sp. n.
Generic Description. Head: crown short, hardly visible in dorsal view; width of head ~0.7× width of pronotum; anteclypeus broad, with weak keel; postclypeus smooth, evenly convex; anteclypeus smooth, slightly keeled; pleurostome ~1.8× length of gena and ~1.5× length of lorum; maxillary plate well exposed, visible from anteclypial edge to gena; eye ~4× wider than long in dorsal view, convex along medial edge in frontal view; tylus slightly wider than eye; ocello-ocular distance subequal; supra-antennal triangle weakly developed, barely visible in view of crown. Thorax: strongly humpbacked; pronotum nearly smooth, lacking reticulation, posterolateral margin ~1.7× longer than anterolateral margin, posterior sinuation ~0.2× as deep as length of posterior edge, anterolateral margin weakly distinguished from frontal edge in dorsal view, posterolateral margin curving inwards; scutellum smooth, ~1.5× deep as wide; tegmen hyaline after midpoint, venation weakly pigmented, apical cells more heavily outlined, veins flanked by dark punctures, vein R forked ½ to edge; tibia ~1.6× longer than femur, with 2 tibial spines (apical spine ~3× longer than basal spine); hind tarsus with segment 1 longer than other segments combined.
Distribution. MALAYSIA: Sarawak.
Remarks. While superficially resembling Taihorina, this genus is easily distinguished by the darkly pigmented forewing venation and narrower tylus. The name is derived from the Greek term “ kyphos ” (meaning humpbacked) after the strongly humpbacked pronotum.

Debroyerella

description: Genus Debroyerella gen. nov.
Type species. Cheirimedon similis Thurston, 1974, by present designation.
Included species. Debroyerella includes 3 species: D. fougneri (Walker, 1903); D. similis (Thurston, 1974); D. solidus (Andres, 1986).
Etymology. Named for our friend Claude De Broyer in recognition of his life-long contribution to Antarctic amphipod biology. Gender feminine.
Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 peduncle article 1 long (more than twice as long as broad); flagellum with weak 1-field callynophore, or callynophore absent. Mandible molar columnar, with fully triturating oval surface; palp attached midway. Maxilliped outer plate very small, not reaching article 3 of palp. Gnathopod 1 subchelate, coxa large, almost as large as coxa 2, not tapering distally, anterior margin slightly concave; carpus compressed. Telson moderately cleft.
Remarks. With a subchelate gnathopod 1, displaying a compressed carpus and large propodus, Debroyerella is very similar to Abyssorchomene De Broyer, 1984 and Koroga Holmes, 1908. Koroga differs in having a short (less than 1.5 × longer than broad) antenna 1 peduncle article 1, a well-developed 2-field callynophore, a mandible molar that forms a setose tongue, and a notched telson. Species of Abyssorchomene also have a short antenna 1 peduncle article 1 and strong 2-field callynophore.
Distribution. Antarctica.

description: Subfamily Spiriniinae Chitwood, 1936
Type genus
Spirinia Gerlach, 1963 (synonym: Spira Bastian, 1865).
Diagnosis (from Decraemer & Smol 2006)
Member of Desmodoridae. Body cuticle with fine annulations. Head not demarcated as a cephalic capsule. Amphideal fovea usually a simple spiral. Buccal cavity small or large, with a distinct or a minute dorsal tooth; two small ventrosublateral teeth may be present or absent.
Differential diagnosis
This subfamily is similar to the Desmodorinae but can be differentiated from the latter by the absence of a head capsule.
Remarks
The tribe Spirinacea was originally established by Chitwood (1936), before being raised to subfamily, family and superfamily rank by De Coninck (1965). According to the Principle of Coordination (ICZN, 1999, Article 36), “a name established for a taxon at any rank in the family group is deemed to have been simultaneously established for nominal taxa at all other ranks in the family group; (…). The name has the same authorship and date at every rank.” The appropriate authorship for Spiriniinae should therefore be attributed to Chitwood (1936), and not Gerlach & Murphy (1965), as is often done (e.g., Armenteros et al. 2014).

Measurements. Male (n=7) forewing length: 9.1 mm – 11 mm (mean= 10.1 mm). Female (n=6) forewing length: 13.9 mm – 12.2 mm (mean= 12.7 mm).
Remarks. This species was first recorded in Tocantins from locations near our previous study (Rippel et al. 2019a), at that time it was the southernmost record for the species in Brazil. Recently, A. minuta was reported from Goiás state by Miguel et al. (2022), indicating that this species might have a wider distribution towards the midwest of the country. The specimens were found in areas characterized by low order streams belonging to Cerrado as well as transitional areas with Amazon forest. The penial armature of these specimens agrees with the original description of the species.

(Figs 54, 60)
Type material. Holotype (Figs 54, 60): male, “ Laos, prov. Khammouane, | Khoun Ngeun, Sala | Viewpoint, 480m, | 104°29’E; 18°10,7’N | 30.–31.V.2014 leg. K. Černý ” / “Slide | AV4705 ♂ | A. Volynkin ” (MWM/ ZSM, ex CKC).
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 13.5 mm in the holotype male. The new species is superficially reminiscent of the unrelated B. bigamica (Fig. 55) but is distinguished by the smaller size, the somewhat darker red pattern elements on the forewing, and the deeper pinkish hindwing ground colour. However, the male genitalia of B. laotiana sp. n. are fundamentally different from those of B. bigamica (Fig. 61) in both, the genital capsule and the vesica structures, and are similar to B. pulchra. In the male genital capsule, the new species clearly differs from B. pulchra in the markedly longer lobes of the distal saccular process (in proportion to the valva length), and the somewhat broader tip of the medial costal process. The vesica structures of the two species are similar but in B. laotiana sp. n., the 2 nd medial diverticulum is broader (in proportion to the phallus size) and more rounded, the 3 rd medial diverticulum is slightly more elongate and bearing markedly smaller cornuti, and the 5 th medial diverticulum is somewhat broader and covered with more numerous cornuti.
The female is unknown.
Distribution. Central Laos (Khammouane Province).
Etymology. The species is named after the country of its known distribution.

(Figs 29–41)
Type Locality. Gunung Mulu World Heritage Area (N04°02'32.8", E114°48'49.6"), Sarawak, Malaysia.
Diagnosis. Head pale yellow-green, basal edge of postclypeus, anteclypeus, lorum and basal half maxillary plate dark brown; prothorax yellow green, posterolateral angle dark brown; scutellum dark brown; pro- and mesothoracic legs dark brown, metathoracic legs lighter brown.
Description. Head (Figs 29–32): bright yellow-green; eyes yellow green; face yellow; basal ¼ of postclypeus, anteclypeus, lorum, and basal ½ of maxillary plate dark brown; vertex smooth, lacking median carina. Thorax (Figs 29–34): pronotum bright yellow-green; dark brown coloration wraps around body to frontal edge of scutellum encompassing posterolateral angle of pronotum; legs light to dark brown; tegmen apically hyaline, becoming increasingly opaque along basal half; veins strongly pigmented, flanked by dark punctures; anal veins fused medially. Genitalia: Male: pygofer (Figs 35–36) lightly sclerotized, consisting of upper and lower sclerites, scabrous area projecting slightly from apical sides; subgenital plates (Figs 35–36) rounded at apex; aedeagus (Figs 37–38) cylindrical, heavily scaled dorsally and ventrally; parameres (Figs 39–41) with short styli and rounded medially with an apical lobe with setae on dorsal edge. Female: unknown.
Measurements (mm). Body length: male 5.0; pronotal length: male 1.51; forewing length: male 4.5; maximum width of head, including eyes: male 1.54; width between humeral angles: male 2.2.
Distribution. MALAYSIA: Sarawak, Gunung Mulu World Heritage Area.
Remarks. While K. maaia may superficially resemble species of Taihorina, it differs in the male genitalia (lacking the apical process) and the forewing venation (being visible).
Etymology. This species is named in honor of Tsing-Chao Maa, for his important work on the systematics of Machaerotidae.
Material Examined. Holotype 3 (dissected, DNA extracted, deposited at USNM), “ MALAYSIA: Sarawak; / Gunung Mulu National Park; / Park HQ / N 04°02'32.8" E 114°48'49.6" / 30 Jun – 28 July 2009 / A.J.

description: Family Desmodoridae Filipjev, 1922
Type genus
Desmodora de Man, 1889 (synonym: Mastodex Steiner, 1921).
Emended diagnosis (modified from Lorenzen 1981 and Decraemer & Smol 2006)
Member of Desmodoroidea. Cuticle with coarse annulations, at least in anterior body region, or striated. Specialised somatic setae, such as adhesion tubes (Draconematidae) or ambulatory setae (Epsilonematidae) not present. Amphideal fovea usually spiral, unispiral, cryptospiral, or cryptocircular, and sometimes loop- or pore-shaped. Buccal cavity with small to large dorsal tooth and smaller or indistinct subventral teeth. Pharynx usually with round muscular posterior bulb, with or without cuticularised lumen; sometimes bulb is pyriform, elongated, or indistinct. Gubernaculum without dorsal apophyses. Males usually monorchic, except in Onepunema Leduc & Verschelde, 2013 (diorchic). Vulva usually posterior to middle of body. Tail conical.
Remarks
Armenteros et al. (2014) recently argued that the genus Onepunema Leduc & Verschelde, 2013 is more closely related to the Microlaimidae than to the Desmodoridae because of the presence of two testes (a feature common in the former but not found in the latter). The Microlaimidae, however, are characterised by the presence of outstretched ovaries, while Onepunema possesses reflexed ovaries, a characteristic of the Desmodoridae. This trait, in combination with the presence of a cephalic capsule in Onepunema (an important characteristic for the classification of supraspecific taxa within the Desmodorida and never found within the Microlaimoidea) suggests closer affinities with the Desmodoridae (and Desmodorinae in particular) than with the Microlaimidae. Armenteros et al. (2014: 26) incorrectly stated that “… the presence of reflexed ovaries […] suggest a relationship with Bolbolaimus Cobb, 1920, Calomicrolaimus Lorenzen, 1976 and Microlaimus de Man, 1880 ”. Reflexed ovaries are not found in any of these genera; perhaps Bolbolaimus was confused with Bolbonema Cobb, 1920 (see comments under Chromaspirina longisetosa Jensen, 1985 below), which belongs to the Desmodoridae due to the presence of reflexed ovaries and a globular cephalic capsule.

description: Genus Ulladulla gen. nov.
Type species. Ulladulla selje sp. nov., by monotypy.
Included species. Ulladulla includes 1 species: U. selje sp. nov.
Etymology. Named for the fishing village of the same name on the New South Wales coast.
Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 accessory flagellum vestigial; primary flagellum article 1 not elongate; with weak 1-field callynophore in male, absent in female. Mandible palp attached distally. Gnathopod 1 subchelate; coxa large, nearly as long as coxa 2; carpus subequal to or longer than the propodus. Pereopod 4 with welldeveloped posteroventral lobe. Telson cleft.
Remarks. Ulladulla gen. nov. is unusual in having a very reduced, almost vestigial, accessory flagellum and a weak, 1-field callynophore in the male, which is absent in the female. The molar of this genus is also peculiar, being columnar with a triturating surface that is almost triangular in shape. Allogaussia Schellenberg, 1926, has an antenna 1 that is similar to that of Ulladulla, however, the telson of that genus is entire (deeply cleft in Ulladulla).
Ulladulla is perhaps most similar to Cheirimedon. These taxa differ in the callynophore (absent or with weak 1-field callynophore in Ulladulla, with 2-field callynophore in Cheirimedon), the relative length of the carpus of gnathopod 1 (slightly longer than propodus in Ulladulla, shorter than propodus in Cheirimedon), and the pereopod 4 coxa (with a well-developed posteroventral lobe in Ulladulla, posteroventral lobe weakly developed in Cheirimedon).

Remarks. A. singularis has a wide distribution in the Brazilian territory, occuring in the Amazon and Atlantic forests, as well as in the Cerrado. We found this species in an ecotonal area of Cerrado and Amazon forest and in the Cerrado. Furthermore, this species has recently been reported for Goiás state (Miguel et al. 2022). Our record represents an expected filling of the distribution gap for this species. Furthermore, the color pattern and penial armature matches with the original description of the species.

description: The present laboratory study examined variables that are believed to impact vigilance in operational settings. Instructions were manipulated by telling half of the subjects to relax, and to focus on positive task characteristics (relaxation-emphasis), while the remaining subjects were instructed to "detect as many critical signals as possible" (detection-emphasis). It was expected that instructions emphasizing detection would lead to increased subjective workload ratings, though all subjects participated in the same 30-min vigilance task. Further, it was expected that decreasing demands by emphasizing relaxing qualities of the task would not impact performance, though lower workload ratings were expected. In addition, response bias was manipulated by telling subjects to adopt either a conservative or a liberal criterion. Also, subjects' boredom proneness (BP) and introversion-extroversion (IE) were measured to test the predictive validity of these trait measures in vigilance. Finally, a newly developed Task-related Boredom Scale (TBS) was used to measure the subjective feelings of boredom for the vigilance task. As expected, detection emphasis subjects reported significantly higher workload. Overall performance in hits and A' was not impacted significantly by instructional emphasis (relaxation versus detection), although relaxation-liberal subjects performed more poorly than subjects in the remaining three conditions. Also, BP scores significantly predicted overall hits, A', and boredom ratings, though IE scores did not correlate with subjects' performance directly. The effect of instructional demand on subjective workload indicates that subjects are sensitive to the expectations of experimenters in laboratory vigilance tasks. Also, the predictive validity of the BPS gives evidence for the hypothesized link between trait boredom and monotonous task performance.

description: Pattersoniella vitiphila Foissner, 1987
(Figure 2 A–G; Table 1)
This species was originally described in terms of both living morphology and infraciliature by Foissner (1987). Chinese population shows some variation in morphometric data, thus a redescription was supplied here.
Morphological description of Chinese population: Cells in vivo 310-360 × 140-180 µm, broadly elliptical in outline, with ratio of length to width approximately 2: 1 (Fig. 2 A, B). Body inflexible, but very fragile when observed under microscope on a slide. Cortical granules lacking. Cell dark brown in color, different sized food vacuoles containing algae or small ciliates. Buccal field about 2/5–1/2 of body length. Basal fibers of cirri and membranelles of adoral zone detectable in vivo (Fig. 2 C, D) and after staining (Fig. 2 E). 21–35 ellipsoidal macronuclear nodules, each about 20 × 15 µm in size, located in the cell mid-line irregularly. One contractile vacuole detectable at anterior third and near dorsal side, with diameter about 27 µm (Fig. 2 B). A forming cyst observed, spherical, about 100 µm across. Locomotion by swimming moderately fast or crawling relatively slow on bottom of Petri dishes or on debris.
Ventral infraciliature as shown in Fig. 2 G. Frontal cirri and buccal cirri distinctly enlarged, about 37 µm long. Transverse cirri, about 35 µm in length, arranged roughly in a J-shaped row in posterior region of cell, only posterior-most reaching posterior end of body. Length of marginal cirri about 20–24 µm. Invariably three caudal cirri. Dorsal cilia arranged altogether about 15 kineties on average, only three or four of them about body length. Two associated fibers of each dorsal dikinetid visible after staining, about 14 µm long (Fig. 2 F).
Remarks: The original population from Fiji Island has 13–18 (14.6 on average) ventral cirri in normal specimens and 18–20 (18.7 on average) cirri in giant specimens that present after culture. Our population has 18– 27 (21.3 on average) ventral cirri and larger size which shows the similarities with the giant specimens of original population (Foissner 1987). The number of cirri might be closely related to the body size.
