Asteromorpha capensis.— Okanishi et al., 2013: 462, figs. 2–5; Olbers et al., 2014: 14, pl. 1F.
Material Examined. All from off the southern part of Mozambique, as follows: USNM 1072548, Anton Bruun Cruise 7, Station 371E, 24° 46’S, 35° 20’E, 132 m, 18 August 1964, 2 specimens; USNM 1072557, Anton Bruun Cruise 7, Station 371D, 24° 46’S, 35° 20’E, 165 m, 18 August 1964, 1 specimen (Fig. 2A–B); USNM 1072559, Anton Bruun Cruise 7 Station 371F, 24° 46’S, 35° 18’E, 110m, 18 August 1964, 5 specimens; USNM 1072569, Anton Bruun Cruise 8, Station 403E, 19° 09’S, 36° 55’E, 88 m, 9 October 1964, 7 specimens.
Remarks. This is the only the second time the species has been recorded since the type was collected off the Umvoti River, Natal, South Africa (Mortensen 1925). Sink et al. (2006) listed this species from Sodwana Bay in northern KwaZulu-Natal, and noted (p. 470) that it “was commonly attached to the gorgonian Nicella dichotoma ”. Okanishi et al. (2013) described and illustrated the rediscovered holotype and three additional specimens collected from off Somalia and Madagascar. The present specimens are from the same general area, off the central coast of Mozambique. They align with the aforementioned descriptions. The disc is covered with granules, radial shields broad distally (Fig. 2A, C), arms annulated proximally with two short rough-tipped spines (Fig. 2B, D). The only variations noticed were the presence of two distinct sizes of granules on the aboral surface of the disc; those on the underside of the disc and arms are very fine. The arms are color-banded.

Material Examined. USNM 1072462, Anton Bruun Cruise 1 Station 17, southern Andaman Sea, 7° 38’N 97° 09’E, 275–280m, 21 March 1963, 1 specimen (Fig. 2E–F).
Remarks. This specimen (18.5 mm disc diameter and 100 mm arm length) has 22 arm segments before the first arm branch (Fig. 2E–F), thus identifying it as S. indicus rather than the closely related S. anopla (H. L. Clark 1911), from the East China Sea, which has 12–17 pre-branch segments (Irimura & Kubodera 1998). There are at least 6 arm bifurcations in total. The distal ends of the radial shields carry granules and fine tubercles (Fig. 2E), and the arms have a double median row of small round tubercles up to the first branch (Fig. 3A), and small grains thereafter over the rest of the arm (Fig. 3B). There are hook-shaped arm spines distally (Fig. 3C), and two clubshaped arm spines proximally (Fig. 3D). The lateral arm plates meet on the oral midline (Fig. 3D); this is a feature of this genus.
The type specimen of S. indicus was collected at Gaspar Strait in Indonesia by the survey vessel Investigator (Koehler 1898), and further material has since been recorded from the Indian Ocean in 36–467 meters. The present specimen was taken from the outer shelf in the southern Andaman Sea between Phuket and the Nicobar Islands. The material described by Liao & A. M. Clark (1995) as Sthenocephalus indicus may yet prove to be Sthenocephalus anopla (Liao & A. M. Clark 1995). Euryale anopla H. L. Clark, 1911, from southern Japan, was redescribed by Mortensen (1933a) as Stenocephalus (sic) indicus var. anopla. Irimura & Kubodera (1998) restored anopla as a distinct species in their new combination Sthenocephalus anopla (H. L. Clark, 1911), a step that was followed by Fujita & Irimura (2005).

Material Examined. USNM 1072573, Anton Bruun Cruise 1 Station AB39A, Andaman Sea, 14°52’N, 96°39’E, 48–64 m, 31 March 1963. 1 specimen (Fig. 4A–E).
Remarks. The specimen has a disc diameter of 32 mm, and arms 200 mm long, branched only five times in their distal half, the first branch occurring at 42 segments from the disc (Fig. 4A–B). This remote branching is a characteristic of the genus, along with longitudinal aboral, and vertical lateral, arm ridging. The disc is flat and smooth in the centre (Fig. 4C), with the radial shields exposed only distally as small triangles (Fig. 4D). There are two arm spines (Fig. 4E).
The specimen was taken at only 1 of 7 benthic shelf stations in the Gulf of Martaban in the northern Andaman Sea, an area near the type locality for this species (Bay of Bengal). It has, however, been found elsewhere in the tropical Indo-west Pacific Ocean, including the Arafura Sea, South China, Japan, and the Philippines, in 65–146 meters (Liao & A. M. Clark, 1995; Rowe & Gates, 1995).

Material Examined. Anton Bruun Cruise 9, Indian Ocean, Comoro islands, Mayotta Island, Bandeli Reef, 13° 30’ S, 045°16’ E, 23 – 26 November 1964, 1 specimen, now lost; USNM 1072477, Anton Bruun Cruise 9 Station 465, off NE Somalia, 11° 37’ N 51° 27’ E, 67–72 m, 18 December 1964, 1 specimen (Fig. 5D–J).
Remarks. This species is characterised by having prominent radial shields and a covering of minute thorny granules (Fig. 5D, F, G). Similar granules extend into the oral interbrachial areas.
The arm segments are separated by marked depressions with thickened edges (Fig. 5H). There is also a median furrow along the aboral sutures of each arm (Fig. 5I). Girdle bands with hooklets occur terminally on each arm (Fig. 5J).
A. clavata was first collected off Zanzibar, and has subsequently been found in the waters of the Persian Gulf, Bay of Bengal, Mauritius, and northwestern Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995).

Material Examined. USNM 1072537, Anton Bruun Cruise 1 Station 18A, southern Andaman Sea, 7°34’N, 98° 00’E, 77 m, 21 March 1963, 2 specimens (Fig. 6A–E); USNM 1234012, Anton Bruun Cruise 9 Station 465, off NE Somalia, 11° 37’N, 51° 27’E, 67–72 m, 18 December 1964, 2 specimens.
Remarks. The specimens range between 17 and 40 mm (Fig. 6A–B) disc diameter. The smallest specimen has a disc cover of dense low granules, 8 in 1 mm on the radial shields (Fig. 6C). One unusual feature of this specimen, possibly related to its small size, is the presence of 2–4 transverse rows of taller granules bridging the pairs of radial shields. In the largest specimen, the arms bifurcate at least 25 times, and are covered with smooth polygonal plates, with prominent girdle bands continuing over the arm—a characteristic of this species (Figs. 6D–E, 7D). The colour pattern of this species is distinctive—disc pale green, with contrasting irregular brown or pink freckles; arms with a continuous series of dark freckles, one per segment.
This record, in the southern Andaman Sea, is an extension of the known range from the Western Australian coast, Indonesia and the Philippines (Baker 1980).

Material Examined. Anton Bruun Cruise 8, Station 403E, off Mozambique, 19° 09’S, 36° 55’E, 88 m, 9 October 1964, 1 specimen, now lost.
Remarks. This small specimen (<8 mm disc diameter) has large tubercles on the distal ends of the radial shields, a feature typical of this species. The remaining disc cover is fine conical granules tipped with a single glassy spine. There are 3–4 arm spines from the third arm segment.
A. exiguus is widely distributed in the Indian Ocean (Mozambique Channel, Andaman Islands, Bay of Bengal, Western Australia) and in the north-western Pacific around the Philippines and southern Japan (Baker 1980).

Remarks. A small (5 mm disc diameter) example, but showing the adult characteristics of a disc covering of closely set domed tubercles, with larger ones on the radial shields (Fig. 6F, H). The girdle bands on the arms begin at the disc edge (Fig. 6I), and the girdle hooklets have the typical single secondary hooklet. There is a single madreporite at the disc edge orally.
This record, off the Mozambique coast, is a range extension of A. ludwigi from the eastern Indian Ocean and Indonesia.

USNM 1072575, Anton Bruun Cruise 8 Station 403E, off Mozambique, 19° 09’ S, 36° 55’ E, 88 m, 2 specimens, 9 October 1964. USNM 1233996, Anton Bruun Cruise 8 Station 394A, Off Durban, South Africa, 29° 26’ S, 31° 32’ E, 68 m, 25 September 1964, 1 specimen.
Remarks. Two specimens from Station 394B are very large (dd. 76 and dd. 81 mm) and are typical of the species (Fig. 22A–B). A medium-sized specimen (dd. 30 mm) is uniformly covered with fine pustules and occasional larger ones (Fig. 22C–E). The arms are bifurcated 16–17 times and carry girdle bands after the first branch. Otherwise the description matches that in Baker, (1980 p. 66) of material from the eastern Indian Ocean.
Distribution. Originally described from USFC Albatross material from the Philippines, this shallow water basket star is widely distributed in the Indo-Malaysian region, and in the east China Sea in 73–300m depth (Baker, 1980), and its occurrence off Durban and further north off Mozambique, is not unexpected.

Only nine specimens were examined that are attributable to this species, all from BCN: 10 km S Valle de Trinidad, 2-VII-81, on Prosopis, W.F. Barr (WFBM); 40 km E, 0.8 km N El Rosario [30.075340°, -115.346733°], beating Prosopis glandulosa var. torreyana, 25-VI-80, Bellamy & Westcott; Cataviña, beating Prosopis glandulosa var. torreyana, 28-VI-80, Bellamy & Westcott (both RLWE); 7 mi S El Mármol, 18-VI-38; Chapala Dry Lake, 21-VI- 38, both Michelbacher & Ross (CAS). The latter two localities, three specimens, are part of Van Dyke’s (1942) type series of A. peninsularis (q.v.). Elsewhere in Mexico A. abstersus is known only from Sonora, Sinaloa, Puebla and Oaxaca. However, it belongs to a difficult group of species and the southern records could refer to other species. In the U.S. it is known only from Arizona, where it has been reared from Acacia greggii A. Gray (Fabaceae) and Castela emoryi (Gray) Moran & Felger (Simaroubaceae). Adults have been collected on other leguminous trees and a species of hackberry (Celtis sp., Ulmaceae).

We have seen many specimens from the peninsula collected as far north as 8 miles SW Rumarosa, near the California border and south into BCS. Probably the majority have been collected in the Vizcaíno Desert, to as far south as 15 miles W of San Ignacio. The southernmost record for this species in Baja California is interesting: Isla San Marcos, 22-VI-52, J.P. Figg-Hoblyn (CAS). Dates of collection range from late March to late July, with the majority collected during April and May. In Baja California it has been taken on Sphaeralcea spp. (Malvaceae) and by beating Prosopis glandulosa var. torreyana. Elsewhere in Mexico it has been recorded only from Sonora and Chihuahua. It occurs widely in the western U.S., as far east as Colorado and Texas. Larval hosts are recorded from several plants in Chenopodiaceae and Fabaceae, and utilizing such disparate host families seems strange, although specimens reared from legumes may instead be A. hualpaii Knull. Adults have also been collected on Psorothamnus emoryi (A. Gray) Rydb. (Fabaceae).

In the U.S. it is widespread in the western states (but not the Pacific Northwest) and occurs from Kansas to Texas. No host records from Baja California are available and only adult hosts, Gutierrezia californica (DC.) Torr. & A. Gray (Asteraceae), Prosopis glandulosa and Quercus sp. — the latter two surely being incidental resting places, the first likely a larval host—were provided in Nelson et al. (2008). However, Hetz and Werner (1979) listed Gutierrezia microcephala (DC.) A. Gray and Haplopappus tenuisectus (Greene) S.F. Blake (now Isocoma tenuisecta Greene), both Asteraceae, as larval hosts.

No larval host has been recorded, though surely includes species of Lotus.
Agrilus inhabilis inhabilis Kerremans 1900 (Figs. 25–26)
This species was treated by Horn (1894:378) under its synonym Agrilus ineptus Horn 1891. The group to which this species belongs was revised by Nelson and Westcott (1991), at which time it was treated as polytypic, with three subspecies. The nominate subspecies is known only from south of La Paz in the Cape Region of BCS, with the exception of a specimen from Isla Santa Margarita and an anomalous pair from far to the north, near Cataviña, BCN, that was discussed in detail by Nelson and Westcott (1991). The other two subspecies are known only from California. Dates of collection range from August to October, mostly the latter, with the exception of the Isla Santa Margarita specimen, which was collected in early July. The only biological data known is based on “taken sweeping grass and forbs along roadsides and clearing by Dozier and Westcott, and one was seen on Hymenoclea monogyra Torr. & A. Gray [Asteraceae] near La Burrera” (Nelson and Westcott, 1991).

It is the most widely ranging and variable species in North America, as discussed by Fisher (1928). It is known from Alaska, across Canada, and probably occurs in all the lower 48 states. Adults are commonly collected on various willows (Salix spp., Salicaceae), which serve as larval hosts. It has also been reared from two species of maple (Acer spp., Aceraceae).
Agrilus quadriguttatus niveiventris Horn 1891 (Figs. 23–24)
In Baja California, this subspecies is known only from BCN. Horn (1894) reported it from [Sierra?] San Pedro Mártir, and Van Dyke (1942) added Hamilton Ranch. We have examined other specimens from the former area at and near Mike’s Sky Ranch, Meling Ranch, Arroyo Potrero and Rcho. El Burro; from the Sierra Juárez near El Compadre, Laguna Hanson and San José del Castillo; and from the following localities: 18.5 km E Maneadero; Río San Antonio, 13.6 mi S Rcho. Martina; and Ensenada, at elevations ranging from near sea level to about 1680 meters, and collected during June and July. All specimens with host data indicate they were collected on willows, Salix spp. Elsewhere this subspecies is recorded only from Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah; larval and adult hosts are species of Salix.

Although it has not been reared, it is almost exclusively taken on Ericameria nauseosa (Pallas ex Pursh) G.L. Nesom & Baird (formerly Chrysothamnus, Asteraceae), which is presumed to be its larval host.
The following taxa are not currently known from Baja California, but may reasonably be expected to occur there:

Anarsia Zeller is defined by the following morphological characters: the vestigial (with a few exception) 3rd segment of labial palpus in the male (normal in the female), and the hindwing with a broad expansion of the anterior part of its costal margin. The genitalia are characterized by having asymmetrical valvae with numerous modified setae on their inner surface, and often with a long sclerotized process, and the lack of gnathos.

Anarsia paraisogona Park & Ponomarenko, 1996: 43; Ponomarenko, 2009: 348. TL: Thailand (North). The holotype is in BMNH.
Diagnosis. Adult (Figs. 3, 24): Wingspan, 11–11.5 mm. The species is superficially similar to A. isogona Meyrick, with a large subtriangular costal patch on the forewing transversally reaching about 3/5 towards dorsum with truncated lower margin, but can be distinguished by having a long expansible hair pencil on underside of the forewing. The male genitalia are quite different from each other as shown in the figures (Figs. 42 and 43). The male genitalia are very similar to those of A. acrotoma Meyrick, but can be distinguished by the right valva with more expanded distal half and more slender ventral process, which is longer than 1/2 the length of the right valva. The hindwing is grayish, with anterior expansion of costa well-developed to beyond middle; the venation is similar to that of A. isogona, with M2 close to M3 basally, M3 and CuA1 connate.
Male genitalia (Figs. 43, 43 a): Uncus relatively long, hook-shaped apically. Tegumen longer than valva, expanded on lateral margin medially, narrower towards apex. Left valve ovate, inflated at base, with membranous flap on surface basally and a strongly curved process arising from near base, with round apex. Right valva relatively narrow, slightly dilated at base and broadened beyond middle, with a long, heavily sclerotized process before middle. Phallus arched, heavily ankylosed with juxta and vinculum at basal 1/4.
Material examined. VIETNAM: 1 ♂, Vinh Phuc Prov., Tam Dao Nat. Park, 9 vii 2003 (KT Park, & Kim), gen. slide no. CIS-6416; 1 ♂, same locality, 30 vii 2006 (Park, Chae, & Cuong); 2 ♂, 1♀, Nhin Binh Prov., Cuc Phuong Park, 750m, 30 vii 2006 (Park, Kim, & Kang), gen. slide no. CIS-6427, -6432.
Distribution. Vietnam (new record; Vinh Phuc Prov.), Thailand (North).
Remarks. In the original description of the species by Park and Ponomarenko (1995), it was erroneously described that the forewing lacks a long hairpencil on the underside of the forewing, but we here confirm that the species has a well-developed hairpencil.

Anarsia incerta Ueda, 1997: 80; Ponomarenko, 2009: 346. TL: Okinawa, Japan. The holotype in OPUJ.
Diagnosis. Adult (Figs. 4, 25): Wingspan, 10.5–11.0 mm. This species is superficially similar to A. isogona Meyrick, but it can be distinguished by the male genitalia: valva with rounded distal margin, strongly curved process in the left valve and a small, gently curved process on the ventral margin of the right valva. The head is grayish white, speckled with brownish gray scales dorsally. The second segment of the labial palpus in male (Fig. 25) has a quadrate scale tuft ventrally, dark fuscous on outer surface, grayish white in upper 1/4, and creamy white on inner surface with brownish scales ventrally. The forewing ground color is creamy white to pale grayish white, with brownish scales scattered irregularly; the costal patch is large, subtriangular, dark fuscous, transversally reaching 3/5 towards dorsum with lower margin longer than half of the upper margin; and lack of a long hair pencil on the underside of the forewing. Female unknown.
Male genitalia (Figs. 44, 44 a): Abdominal sternite VIII slightly concave on caudal margin. Uncus acute apically; socius lobes more or less triangular. Tegumen long, much more exceeding apices of valvae, broad basally, slightly convex beyond middle in lateral margin. Valva asymmetrical: left valva broad, more or less elliptical with rounded distal margin; zone of palmate scales occupying nearly distal 1/3 of valva; hook-shaped basal process strongly bent at basal 1/4, gradually narrowed to 3/4, then curved with acute apex; right valva longer and narrower than left one, broadened beyond 3/5, rounded apically, with slightly curved, slender process near base; zone of palmate scales occupying distal 1/3. Phallus slender, strongly curved, about 3/5 the length of tegumen, apex more or less blunt. Abdominal tergite with pocket-like membranous flap distally.
Material examined. VIETNAM: 2 ♂, Vinh Phuc Prov., Tam Dao Nat. Park, 26 iv 2006 (Park, Kim, & Kang), gen. slide no. CIS-6411, -6320.
Host plant. Schima sp. (Theaceae) (Ueda, 1997).
