Symbiotic host. Morphotype S of Aenictus laeviceps.
Distribution. Malaysia (Borneo).
Etymology. Named for the type locality.
Description. Body (Fig. 35) rather robust. Reddish brown, except for mouth parts, legs, lateral margins of pronotum, abdominal segments III–VII other than medial area of tergites paler. Head (Figs. 35, 36) with temple well developed to eye level. Mandibles rather asymmetric; right mandible gently narrowed and curved apically. Antennae (Figs. 35, 37) somewhat thick, clavate, reaching around middle of elytra; segment XI longer than IX and X combined: relative lengths of segments IX–XI: 12, 15, 30. Pronotum (Figs. 35, 36) much wider than long (width/ length=1.19–1.21), sparsely covered with long and stout setae. Elytra (Figs. 35, 36) densely covered with long and stout setae. Abdominal segments VIII–IX moderately covered with long setae; macrosetae on tergite VIII (Fig. 43) poorly distinguished from other setae.
Male: Median lobe of aedeagus (Figs. 44, 45) with apical lobe rhomboidal, minutely bilobed at apex; apical lobe of paramere (Fig. 46) subtriangular.
Female: Spermatheca (Fig. 47) with basal part bulbous at base, without lateral projection.
Measurements. BL, ≈ 6.0–7.1; FBL, ≈ 2.6–2.9; HW, 1.09–1.15; EL, 0.53–0.58; AL, ≈ 2.4–2.5; PL, 0.89–0.96; PW, 1.13–1.21; ELW, ≈ 1.4–1.5; HTL, 1.25–1.33. N=3.
Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from other Aenictocleptis species by the sparse setation on the pronotum and elytra, and the apical lobe of the aedeagal median lobe being rhomboidal.

Procantonnetia opacithorax

description: Procantonnetia opacithorax Maruyama, sp. nov.
(Figs. 63–73)
Holotype, 3 “ MALAYSIA: Sarawak, Lambir Hills National Park, 25 IV 2004 Matsumoto T. leg. / ATTM 711 / HOLOTYPE Procantonnetia opacithorax Maruyama ” (no. 711). Paratypes: 19, same data as holotype (no. 711); 16, ditto but 24 VII 2008, M. Maruyama leg. (no. MM2008). See, Table 1 for detailed collecting data.
Symbiotic host. Morphotype L2 of Aenictus laeviceps.
Distribution. Malaysia (Borneo).
Etymology. Combination of the Latin opacus (=opaque, matte) and thorax (= thorax), bringing attention to the opaque thorax.
Description. Almost uniformly brown. Head (Figs. 63–66) around “neck” coarsely punctate with microsculpture, with 10–15 small setae around temple and 1 seta between eyes. Pronotum (Fig. 67) with ratio length /width =1.38–1.46, with surface coarsely punctate except for midline which is glabrous, with 1 seta at middle. Elytra with entire surface coarsely punctate, with 15–20 setae from middle to apices. Abdomen (Figs. 68–70) with numbers of macrosetae from tergite II–VIII: 3, 5, 1, 1, 3, 6. Male: median lobe of aedeagus (Figs. 71, 72) slightly dilated near apex in lateral view. Female: spermatheca (Fig. 73) with basal part with a large basal projection; apical lobe small, with inner wall not wrinkled.
Measurements. BL, ≈ 3.0–3.4; FBL, ≈ 1.7–1.9; HW, 0.55–0.63; EL, 0.241–0.262; AL, ≈ 1.7–1.8; PL, 0.78– 0.83; PW, 0.53–0.60; ELW, 0.89–0.96; HTL, 1.26–1.35. N=5.
Diagnosis. This species is most similar to Procantonnetia borneensis Kistner, 1993 in having pronotum and elytra coarsely punctate, but is distinguishable from the latter by the presence of setae on the pronotum and the number of the macrosetae on the abdominal tergites (Kistner, 1993: 269).

(Fig. 10 M-N)
LOCALITY. — CBR0B.
MATERIAL. — CBR 0B: 1 m 1, 1 m 2.
MEASUREMENTS. — Appendix 14
DESCRIPTION
m1 (CBR0B)
An extremely hypsodont broken tooth. The centrolophids are absent. The mesolophid and the posterolophid are long and low-connected on the lingual side. The labial cuspids are more developed than the lingual ones.
m2 (CBR 0B)
The tooth is subquadrangular in outline and extremely hypsodont. The anterolophid is short and connected to the endolophid. The metalophid is long and curved, with a low contact with the anteroconid. The centrolophids are absent. The mesolophid and the posterolophid are long and low-connected on the lingual side. The labial cuspids are more developed than the lingual cuspids.
REMARKS
The genus Armantomys was considered endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, but has also been found in the French locality of Liet (Daams 1990, Duranthon & Cahuzac 1997). This genus is recorded from the Oligocene (MP29) at the Parrales site (Loranca Basin) to the Middle Miocene (MN7/8) in the localities of Escobosa de Calatañazor, Soria and Alcocer 2 (Calatayud-Montalbán Basin) (López-Martínez et al. 1977; Daams 1990; Álvarez-Sierra et al. 1999). Armantomys is characterised by its high degree of hypsodoncy. The absence of centrolophids distinguishes this genus from its ancestor Praearmantomys (Daams 1990).
The remains of this species in the Ribesalbes-Alcora Basin are very scarce, with only two teeth found in CBR 0B. These teeth are smaller than in Armantomys tricristatus López-Martínez, Benito & García, 1977, but larger than in the smaller-sized species Armantomys jasperi Daams, 1990, Armantomys parsani Daams, 1990, Armantomys daamsi de Visser, 1991, and Armantomys bijmai (Lacomba & Martínez-Salanova, 1988). On the other hand, they are similar to those of A. aragonensis. Morphologically, the material from this basin is also like that of A. aragonensis from the MN4 of the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin and from Montalvos 2 from the Teruel Basin (Daams 1990; Hordijk et al. 2015). The presence of a mesolophid and a lower or middle posterolophid connected to the entoconidare characteristic of this species, which allows us to classify it as A. aragonensis.

Material examined. Hydrachna laceriscutata— Male holotype, North Portland Dam, Victoria, Australia, 26-xi- 1936, leg. F. Linder (slide 2979, NHRS-GULI 9032, SMNH). Queensland. 0/1/0, Emu Creek at Clancy’s Camping Area, Benarkin State Forest, 26º 58.334 S 152º 0 9.916 E, alt. 162 m a.s.l., 3-xi-2005. Northern Territory. 0/1/0, Billabong Yellow Waters, Kakadu NP, 21-vii-1994. Western Australia. 1 (juvenile)/0/3, Palm Pool, Millstream- Chichester NP, 23º 34’2.85” S 117º 2’32.10” E, 15-viii-1994.
Remarks. Lundblad (1947) synonymized H. laceriscutata Lundblad, 1941 with H. bilobata, but Cook (1986) was of the opinion that H. laceriscutata should stand as a separate species. I examined the male holotype, and it has the dorsal shield typical for H. bilobata (very long dorsal plate nearly as long as the idiosoma, anteriorly with lateral extensions). Cook (1986) based his conclusions on the more lobate genital field of the male, but in mounted specimens this is dependent on the position in the slide. Therefore I support Lundblad’s (1947) conclusion that H. laceriscutata is a junior synonym of H. bilobata. The female H. bilobata of Lundblad (1947) does not belong to this species, but to H. novaehollandica n. sp. (see there). The juvenile male from Western Australia (1367 long) lacks the posterior extension of the dorsal plate. Previously known from Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

Material examined. Holotype male, Lake Emma, Lakefield NP, Queensland, Australia, 15º 17’47.43” S 144º 38’48.05” E, 3-ix-2000 (QM). Paratypes: 1 female (mounted, QM), 2 females (RMNH), same data as holotype. Diagnosis. Genital field of male heart-shaped; dorsum with a large frontal shield.
Description. Male: L/W 1849/1749. Frontal shield one large plate, not incorporating the eyes, somewhat irregularly shaped, 802 long and 1005 wide. Posteromedial extension of fourth coxal plates rather narrow, with only a slight development of secondary sclerotization; anterior and third coxae without secondary sclerotization. First, third and fourth coxae with one seta. Genital field heart-shaped, with a large anterior indentation, 300 long and 284 wide; two acetabula distinctly larger than other acetabula. Length of PI-PV: 160, 143, 208, 86, 38; L/H PIII 3.15. Chelicera 794 long. Length of IV-leg-4–6: 389, 397, 251.
Female: L/W 2080 (2131–2432)/1916 (1608–1769). Frontal shield one large plate, not incorporating the eyes, 884 long and 1206 wide. Posteromedial extension of fourth coxal plates wide, with only a slight development of secondary sclerotization; anterior coxae with a slight development of secondary sclerotization, third coxae without secondary sclerotization. First, third and fourth coxae with one seta. Genital field indented anteriorly, with two large acetabula and many small ones, 292 long and 300 wide. Length of PI–PV: 227, 162, 219, 72, 50; L/H of PIII 3.3. Length of IV-leg-4–6: 437, 405, 267.
Etymology. Named for the heart-shaped genital field of the male.
Remarks. The combination of a large frontal plate and heart-shaped genital field of the male is diagnostic for the species. The female is close to H. novaehollandica n. sp. in the presence of a large frontal shield, but differs in wider posteromedial extensions of the fourth coxae.

(Figs. 7A–F)
Material examined. Holotype male, Artificial pool, Rockhole Loop, Mutawintji NP, New South Wales, Australia, 31-x-2001 (AMS). Paratype: female, Temporary pond along Wyseby road (= road to Carnarvon NP), Queensland, Australia, 24º 59.185 S 148º 24.416 E, alt. 305 m asl, 30-x-2005 (QM).
Diagnosis. Dorsum with two narrow, rod-shaped frontal plates. Male genital field heart-shaped.
Description. Male: Idiosoma 2190 long and 1829 wide. Dorsum with two narrow, rod-shaped frontal plates, 713 long. Fourth coxae almost without posteromedial extensions, secondary sclerotization posteromedially of fourth coxae small. First and third coxae each with one small seta, fourth coxae with two small setae. Genital field with numerous acetabula, 445 long and 462 wide, heart-shaped, with a shallow anterior indentation, area between the parts with acetabula sclerotized; gonopore approximately 122 long. Length of PI-PV: 170, 124, 170, 72, 40; PIII stocky, L/H 2.0. Length of I-leg-4–6: 162, 174, 162. Length of IV-leg-4–6: 470, 413, 267.
Female: Idiosoma length approximately 2010 (idiosoma no longer in original shape), width not measurable. Frontal sclerites as in male, 591 long. Fourth coxae almost without posteromedial extensions. First and third coxae each with one small seta, fourth coxae with two setae. Genital field 251 long and 459 wide, anteriorly deeply indented; genital field with numerous small acetabula and a pair of larger acetabula near posterior margin, area without acetabula sclerotized, area with acetabula with 1–3 small setae, near posterior margin two groups of 10–12 setae. Length of PI–PV: 176, 120, 180, 74, 42; L/H PIII 2.1. Chelicera 761 long. First and fourth leg not measurable.
Etymology. Named for the elongate rod-shaped frontal sclerites.
Remarks. Only two other Hydrachna species have similar rod-shaped sclerites, i.e. H. brevirostris Lundblad, 1969 from Burma and the Palaearctic H. crassipalpis Piersig, 1897. The male of the latter species does not have a heart-shaped genital field, H. brevirostris has very broad rod-shaped sclerites, while the fourth coxae have a distinct posteromedial extension. All three species with rod-shaped sclerites have stocky palps.

Hydrachna similans (non Marshall, 1928)—Lundblad (1969), K.O. Viets (1981).
Material examined. Queensland. 1/0/0, Fitzroy River, 15-iii-1983, leg. A.P. Mackay; 2/0/0, Shallow pool along road to Hanush Waterhole, Lakefield NP, 4-ix-2000; 1/1/2, White Lily Lagoon, Lakefield NP, 4-ix-2000; 1/2/2, Billabong W of Wenlock River, near crossing with roads to Iron Range NP, 10-ix-2000. Northern Territory. 0/1/0, Small billabong, Yellow Waters, Kakadu NP, 22-vii-1994; 0/1/0, Manton Dam, 12º 51.726 S 131º 0 7.148 E, 24-ix- 2005; 0/1 (juvenile)/2, Lake Jabiru, 12º 40.264 S 132º 50.436 E, alt 43 m asl, 27-ix-2005.
Remarks. Lundblad (1969) considered Hydrachna mysorensis a synonym of H. similans Marshall, 1928, together with H. kloomi Imamura, 1964 and H. similis Cook, 1967. However, given the much smaller dorsal shield of H. similans, I disagree with his conclusions. Moreover, the sketchy illustrations by Marshall (1928), lacking many important details, do not allow such conclusions. The males from Australia measure 802–896 in length and 786–875 in width, and therefore match the description of H. mysorensis. Hydrachna kloomi and H. similis are much smaller (Cook 1967).
The dorsal plate of most of the Australian females covers about ¾ to almost the whole dorsum. Only in one juvenile female is the dorsal plate smaller. Cook’s (1967) description and illustration suggests that the dorsal plate of the Indian females is smaller. Previously known from the Northern Territory (K.O. Viets 1981), India and Burma.

Material examined. Queensland. 1/0/0, Catfish Waterhole, Lakefield NP, 15º 3’57.50” S 144º 17’8.43” E, 4-ix- 2000; 5/0/3, Hasties Swamp, Hasties Swamp NP, 16-ix-2000. Western Australia. 1/0/0, Pond Snake Creek, Millstream-Chichester NP, 21º 20’39.86” S 117º 14’30.34” E, 17-viii-1994.
Remarks. The species has a large elliptical gonopore, 110–116 long. Inside the gonopore two acetabula (?) are present, probably overlooked in the original description. These acetabula-like structures are also present in H. triscutata, and illustrated by Lundblad (1947) but not discussed.
The posteromedial extension of the fourth coxae of H. palustris is of variable width, from very narrow as illustrated in the original description (Smit 1992) till much broader. The species is known from two localities in Queensland among which the type locality (Hasties Swamp) and one locality in Western Australia.
