description: Genus Atrioplanaria De Beauchamp, 1932
During the late 1930s specimens of Atrioplanaria sp. were collected from a hydropetric habitat on limestone in the surroundings of Sassari (northwestern Sardinia), representing the first record of planarians from Sardinian subterranean water and the first Italian record of the genus (Benazzi, 1938a, 1942) (Fig. 3). A seasonal cycle with sexual and asexual reproduction was observed under laboratory conditions (Benazzi, 1942).
Dahm (1964) performed a karyological study on specimens of this population, revealing a chromosome number of 2n = 46. However, this author was unable to obtain a suitable idiogram due to the very slight and gradual differences between the very small chromosomes.
Unfortunately, several attempts during last decades to collect new planarians in the same water body were unsuccessful due to significant environmental changes, i.e. anthropogenic impact on suburban areas (G.A. Stocchino pers. obs.)
Other specimens of Atrioplanaria sp. were recorded in 1952 from Su Coloru Cave (northern Sardinia) and from an old mine (Baccu Arrosu, southwestern Sardinia) (Benazzi, 1982) (Fig. 3). These last findings were the first records of cave-dwelling populations of triclads in Sardinia.
Specimens of presumed Atrioplanaria sp. were also found in two small temporary rivers on Caprera Island in the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (northeastern Sardinia) (Manconi et al., 1995; Pala & Casu, 1995) (Fig. 3).

Itaipusa variodentata

description: Itaipusa variodentata (Karling, Mack-Fira & Dörjes, 1972) Karling, 1978
New locality. Santa Cruz Island, stations IX5 b, IX5 d, IX6 b, rock pools.
Known distribution. Hawaii (Karling et al. 1972).
Material. Four specimens studied alive, 28 specimens serially-sectioned (ZMUG 23289-23316).
Remarks. The complex structure and orientation of the organs in the specimens studied alive are in accordance with the observations of Karling et al. (1972) on specimens from Hawaii. On sections it is clear that the epidermis is cellular, showing distinctly-delimited epidermal cells as was mentioned in the original description (Karling et al. 1972). The Galapagos specimens (3 mm long) are, however, clearly larger than those from Hawaii (Karling et al. 1972: 2 mm). The two hooks of the copulatory organ clearly differ in size in comparison with those from Hawaii. The smaller hook measures 52−108 µm (x = 86 µm; n = 4), whereas the larger one measures 75−140 µm (x = 102 µm; n = 4). This is significantly larger than what was observed by Karling et al. (1972): 30 µm for the small hook and 37 µm for the large hook. However, since no other differences could be observed and since molecular data are lacking in order to back up a splitting of the species, we deliberately choose not to describe the population from the Galapagos as a separate species for the time being.

Crenobia alpina

description: Crenobia alpina (Dana, 1776)
Crenobia alpina is restricted to the Gennargentu Massif (central-eastern Sardinia) (Fig. 3). Up to now, five sexual populations of this European stenotherm species have been found at many cold springs, with temperatures ranging from 7 C° to 15 C°, at altitudes ranging from 1300 m to 1800 m asl. The first record dates back to 1980 when Pala et al. collected specimens from four stations. Besides a morphological study, these workers performed also preliminary karyological analyses, revealing a polyploid karyotype with a marked tendency to aneuploidy, with a mitotic chromosome number ranging from 28-30 to more than 40 (Pala et al., 1980c).
All populations are characterized by a single pharynx and thus differ from the polypharyngeal forms C. alpina montenigrina (Mràzek, 1904), C. alpina anophtalma (Mràzek, 1907), and C. alpina teratophila (Steinmann, 1908) (Pala et al., 1980c; Stocchino et al., 2013c).

description: Haemaphysalis parva (Neumann, 1897) (Fig. 5)
Material examined: Sakar Mts, S of Ustrem Vill., the road to Radovets Vill., 42°00'51.0"N 26°27'51.6"E, 146 m a.s.l., hillside, xerothermic vegetation with Paliurus spina-christi Mill., grazing area (Fig. 4), 05.v.2021, 1 ♀ (BFUS- ACR000017), on the ground, Y. Petrova leg.
Notes: Rare species in Bulgaria, being recorded mainly from the southern and southeastern regions of the country (e.g. Petrich, Haskovo, Burgas, Malko Tarnovo, Tsarevo) Georgieva & Gecheva (2013). It was also collected from the Shumen and Balchik regions (Georgieva & Gecheva 2013). Haemaphysalis parva prefers mountain steppes and lower mountain forests (Estrada-Peñа et al. 2017) and our finding is consistent with these preferences.

Figs. 3a–f.
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of this species are close to those of Cheumatopsyche chryseis Malicky & Chantaramongkol, 1997, but can be distinguished by segment X in lateral view being longer, curved slightly upward and apically acute (tergum X of C. chryseis shorter, slightly angled upward and blunt), and in dorsal view with the apicomesal portion broadly triangular and apicolateral lobes not produced (tergum X of C. chryseis rounded and apicolateral lobes produced). The inferior appendages each have an apical segment that is broader than that of C. chryseis in lateral view. Also, the phallus is more curved and longer, with its apex broader basally and the apicomesal projection is not produced.
Description. (In alcohol) Head and thorax brown. Abdominal segments light brown, legs light brown. Forewings brown and hind wings light brown.
Wings: Shape and venation characteristic of genus. Male forewing length 5.0– 5.5 mm (n=10).
Male genitalia: Segment IX in lateral view with anterolateral margins convex, posterolateral margins each produced into tall, broadly rounded, setose lobe overlapping base of corresponding inferior appendage when fully retracted. Inferior appendages in lateral view nearly straight, each with apical segment broad, especially at base (Fig. 3d); in caudoventral view slightly curved, basal segment slender (Fig. 3a–b). Segment X in lateral view long, slightly curved dorsad and acute apically (Fig. 3d); in dorsal view apicomesal portion produced, broadly triangular, and apicolateral lobes not produced (Fig. 3c). Phallus curved and long, in ventral view apex broad and without apicomesal projection (Figs. 3e–f).
Etymology. Latin “triangulus (-a –um),” an adjective meaning “triangular,” to indicate the apicomesal portion of tergum X broadly triangular in dorsal view.
Holotype: Male. THAILAND: Chaiyaphum Province, Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Tongto Stream (N 16° 24' 48.0", E 101° 34' 58.9"), elevation 795 m, 14-iii-2011, Coll. Kitiya Thawarorit, Teerasak Muakpetch, and Narumon Sangpradub (CU).

description: Phagocata obscura Stocchino & Sluys, 2013
The recent description of Phagocata obscura from a cave in southwestern Sardinia (Cuccuru Tiria Cave) represents the first fully described species of the genus recorded from Italy and the first anophthalmous species of Phagocata reported from Europe. The species is also anatomically well-distinguishable from its European congeners because of its principally prepharyngeal testes (Stocchino et al., 2013c) (Fig. 3).

(Figs. 8 – 9)
Type material: Holotype male, (TMSA 15335) Republic of South Africa, Eastern Cape, Garden Route N.P., Tsitsikamma, 34°01'S 23°53'E, 94 m, 0 6 – 08.xii.2016, Kovtunovich V., Udovichenko P. & Bezverkhov Yu.; Paratype: 1 ♂ (CUK 311), Republic of South Africa, Western Cape, Garden Route N.P., 04.ii.1996, G. Bassi.
External characters. Wingspan 15 – 16 mm, (holotype— 16 mm). Head, thorax and tegula yellow. Labial palpus thin, very short, three times shorter than diameter of eye. Antenna thin, pale yellow, with well-expressed, protruding brown scales. Forewing yellow, with a small and elongated central brown spot; a dark brown longitudinal streak present along costal edge of first lobe, above cleft base; a distinct dark brown spot at cleft base; a prominent dark brown elongated spot in apical part of first lobe along hind edge; fringe inside cleft yellow; dark brown streaks present along hind edge of second lobe. Hindwing unicolorous, yellow, fringe of same color; small distinct dark brown spots at apex of each lobe. Hind leg pale yellow.
Male genitalia. Valvae asymmetrical. A large folded sclerotized structure present in the middle of the left valva. Harpe narrow and arcuate, curved from its base at acute angle. Anellus arms short. Uncus wide at base, with sclerotized fold in middle part and two sharp spikes on edges. Top of uncus narrowed, but not pointed. Phallus thin, almost twice as short as valva, slightly arched.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. In the male genitalia, C. ermakovae is similar to Crassuncus timidus (Meyrick, 1908), but differs in the arched harpe on the left valva, the uncus with its central sclerotized fold and two sharp spikes on the edges, whereas in C. timidus the harpe is almost straight and the uncus has no corresponding structures. The valvae of C. ermakovae are more compact and not elongated as in C. timidus. These moths are also different externally: the new species has a smaller size (15–16 mm) while C. timidus is over 20 mm; the new species has also a distinctive big brown spot in the cleft base (Fig. 8)
Distribution: South Africa.
Flight period: December, February.
Etymology. The species is named after Oksana Ermakova, an employee of the diplomatic service, who rendered great assistance in organizing the expedition.

Figs. 4 a–e.
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of this species are similar to those of C. triangula Thawarorit, Sangpradub & Morse, n. sp., and C. chryseis Malicky & Chantaramongkol, 1997. However, they differ in that segment X in lateral view is more curved than C. triangula on its dorsal margin (C. chryseis is angled dorsally) and blunt apically (C. triangula is acute apically). The inferior appendages each have an apical segment that is more sinuous in caudoventral view than either species. Like C. triangula, the apex of the phallus lacks an apicoventral projection in lateral view (present in C. chryseis).
Description. (In alcohol) Head and thorax brown. Abdominal segments light brown, legs light brown. Forewings brown and hind wings light brown.
Wings: Shape and venation characteristic of genus. Male forewing length 5 mm (n=2).
Male genitalia: Segment IX in lateral view with anterolateral margins nearly straight in dorsal 3/4ths, posterolateral margins each produced into setose triangle above base of corresponding inferior appendage (Fig. 4 c), in dorsal view anterior and posterior margins angled caudad, with lobes of setose ridge short. Inferior appendages each with slender basal segment (Figs. 4 a, c), apical segment sinuous and acute in caudoventral view (Fig. 4 a). Segment X in dorsal view with posterior margin rounded medially and with apicolateral lobes short and round, slightly protuberant, setose (Fig. 4 b); in lateral view with dorsal margin curved dorsad, long, blunt apically (Fig 4 c). Phallus in lateral view curved, its apex lacking apicoventral projection (Fig. 4 d–e).
Etymology. The species name derives from “ Tongto Stream,” the type locality of this new species.
Holotype: Male. THAILAND: Chaiyaphum Province, Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Tongto Stream (N 16° 24' 48.0", E 101° 34' 58.9"), elevation 795 m, 14-iii-2011, Coll. Kitiya Thawarorit, Teerasak Muakpetch, and Narumon Sangpradub (CU).

Kroon.
External characters. Wingspan 14 mm. Head with pale brown scales. Thorax and tegula yellow. Labial palpus thin, straight, equaling diameter of eye. Antenna pale yellow. Forewing yellow, with a small elongate brown spot in middle and a distinct dark brown round spot at cleft base; a dark brown longitudinal streak present along costal edge of first lobe above cleft base; fringe inside cleft brown, noticeably paler only in apical part of second lobe. Hindwing darker than forewing, fringe pale grey. Legs pale yellow.
Male genitalia. Valvae asymmetrical. Two harpes present above the lower basal sclerotized plate of the left valva; first harpe in the form of a large, almost straight spike, second harpe closer to center, with a complex structure resembling an arched fold, and with two small spike-like processes above it. A longitudinal ribbon-like sclerotized crest present in centre of right valva. An arched fold adjoined to longitudinal crest above lower basal sclerotized plate. Anellus arms short, wide; left arm significantly wider than right arm. Uncus long, slightly wider in middle, tapered to apex. Saccus with a wide oval arch. Phallus robust, curved, slightly shorter than valva, vesica without cornuti.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. In the male genitalia, Hellinsia aethiopica (Amsel, 1963), but clearly differs from it by the wide anellus arms, the long uncus, differently shaped saccus and the curved phallus.
Distribution: South Africa.
Flight period: March, December.
Etymology. The species is named after Irina Birichevskaya, an employee of the diplomatic service, who rendered great assistance in organizing the expedition.

Asexual unpigmented specimens of presumed Phagocata sp. from three populations were collected from the Monte Majore Cave (northwestern Sardinia), Elighe Mannu spring in the Asinara Island National Park (northwestern Sardinia) and from an unnamed spring at Alà dei Sardi locality (northeastern Sardinia). However, absence of sexually fully developed individuals prevented a detailed assessment of their taxonomic status on morphological basis (Stocchino et al., 2013c) (Fig. 3).

Artemia franciscana Kellog, 1906. In older literature, only Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758) is mentioned as this was considered a cosmopolitan species. Today, we know more existing Artemia species (Assem et al. 2010). In Bonaire, A. franciscana Kellog, 1906 is present (Van Stappen 1996; Camargo et al. 2002).All observations in the Dutch Caribbean of A. salina probably belong to A. franciscana. Wagenaar Hummelinck (1933) found this species in Bonaire (Goto-meer, Salinja Martinus, Pekelmeer, and Salinja Plenchi). Rammner (1936) reported this species for Bonaire, Curaçao, and St Maarten. In the period of 1960–1964, several salt pans were sampled in Bonaire and Curaçao to investigate the ecology of this species (Kristensen & Hulscher-Emeis 1972). Vanhaecke et al. (1987) found it on St Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire (Duinmeer, Gotomeer, Pekelmeer, Martinus, and Slagbaai), and Curaçao (Fuik and Rifwater). Van Stappen (1996) reported Artemia spec. for St Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao; only mentioning A. franciscana for Duinmeer on Bonaire. The hypersaline habitat in Rif-Sint Marie on Curaçao is threatened by the supply of sea water causing the lake to become less saline (Vermeij & Chamberland 2012).

Figs. 5 a–f.
Diagnosis. The male genitalia of this species are close to those of Cheumatopsyche lucida Ulmer, 1907, but can be distinguished by segment X posterior margin in dorsal view having the outer margins of its apicolateral lobes shallowly concave; in lateral view its apicolateral lobes are digitate and slightly divergent from the body of the tergite (the outer margins of the apicolateral lobes are convex in dorsal view and they are capitate and not divergent in lateral view in C. lucida). The inferior appendages each have a basal segment more slender than in C. lucida and the apical segment has a basomesal angle in caudoventral view. The phallus in lateral view is more curved, longer and with its apex more slender.
Description. (In alcohol) Head and thorax brown. Abdominal segments light brown. Legs with coxae and femora brown, tibiae and tarsi light brown. Forewings and hind wings light brown.
Wings: Shape and venation characteristic of genus. Male forewing length 5 mm (n=1).
Male genitalia: Segment IX in lateral view with anterolateral margins convex through most of its height, posterolateral margins each produced into setose, rounded angle at 1/3rd of its height (Fig. 5 e). Inferior appendages each with basal segment slender in caudoventral and lateral views (Figs. 5 a, b, e), apical segment broad basally and slightly angled at 1/5th length in caudoventral view (Figs. 5 a–b). Segment X posterior margin with apicolateral lobes curved slightly mesad, widely separated, and each with shallow concavity in otherwise convex lateral margin in dorsal view (Fig. 5 d); in lateral view with apicolateral lobes digitate and slightly divergent from body of tergite (Fig. 5 e). Phallus in lateral view long, deeply curved (slightly recurved), apically slender (Fig. 5 c); in ventral view apex long, slender, and with lobes widely separated (Figs. 5 f).
Etymology. The species names is a Latin adjective “cavus (-a –um),” an adjective meaning “hollow,” which refers to the outer margins of the apicolateral lobes being shallowly concave.
Holotype: Male. THAILAND: Loei Province, Phu Kradueng National Park, Tard Hong Waterfall (N 16° 48' 11.6", E 101° 43' 25.1"), elevation 417 m, 9-iii-2011, Coll. Kitiya Thawarorit, Teerasak Muakpetch, and Narumon Sangpradub (CU).

Notes: In Bulgaria R. turanicus is known from several localities in the southeast part of the country (Mincheva et al. 1965, Georgieva & Gecheva 2013, Arnaudov & Georgiev 2022). The widespread up to 1000 m a.s.l. in Bulgaria species R. bursa (Georgieva & Gecheva 2013), has not been found during the present study. Rhipicephalus turanicus is typical for regions with hot and dry climate (e.g. deserts, semi-deserts, steppes and open woodlands) (Georgieva & Gecheva 2013, Guglielmone et al. 2014b) and thus, its presence in the Sakar Mts is not surprising. It seems that in areas with favourable ecological conditions, R. turanicus can substitute R. bursa. Such substitution was noticed by Mincheva et al. (1965) for the flattest part of the Stara Zagora Plain, and now we observed the same phenomenon in the studied habitats of Sakar Mts.

Triops longicaudatus (Le Conte, 1846). This species was collected in Bonaire (1948), Curaçao (1948 and 1949), and Aruba (1948, 1949, and 1955) by Wagenaar Hummelinck and analysed by Linder (1960). In Bonaire, in three pools north of Kralendijk, in Curaçao at Tanki di Tera Corá and Hato, and in Aruba near Hooiberg. In 1989, it was collected on Aruba (Westpunt, Fontein and Boton) and in 1998 again at Boton (Belk et al. 2002). On 10 March 2015, T. longicaudatus was found at Spelonk Lighthouse and the day before on another place on Bonaire (Stapert 2015). Sassaman et al. (1997) compared material collected on Aruba with T. longicaudatus and T. newberryi but could not determine the species to which the animals belonged. They suspected that T. longicaudatus from the Caribbean might belong to a separate species.

Dendrocoelum mariae was found in a spring on the Asinara Island National Park in northern Sardinia (Punta della Scomunica Spring). Animals are usually provided with a pair of eyes, but supernumerary eyes (2-3 on either side) are often present. Moreover, this species is characterized by an adenodactyl that is much larger than the penis papilla and a copulatory apparatus localized far behind the pharynx. The presence of a true sphincter in the terminal tract of the bursal canal is a character shared with the other two Sardinian dendrocoelids (see below) (Stocchino et al., 2013c).

Locality. Santa Cruz Island, Station IX6 b, rock pools.
Known distribution. North Atlantic: West Coast of USA, North Sea, Skagerrak, Irish Sea, Irish Atlantic coast (see Karling 1980 and references therein; Willems et al. 2007).
Material. One individual studied alive, one sagittally-sectioned specimen (ZMUG 23322).
Remarks. The internal structure is in accordance with the observations and remarks by Karling (1954, 1980). The epidermis is clearly cellular, as was mentioned by Karling (1954). One of the hooks associated with the copulatory organ is 40 µm long, slightly larger than the other two (35 µm). These two smaller hooks also differ slightly in shape from the third, larger hook. Their basal plate is smaller and the gutter-shape of the spine-like part is less prominent. Although the measurements are slightly larger, they correspond well with earlier data (e.g. Karling 1954: 22.5−28 µm; Karling 1980: 22−35 µm; Willems et al. 2007: 10−23 µm). Difficulties with interpretation of shape and size of the hooks are mentioned by Willems et al. (2007).

description: The Orchestia Problem
For many years talitrid species were placed mainly in Orchestia Leach, 1814 or Talorchestia Dana, 1853. J.L. Barnard (1958) reported 57 species in Orchestia and 41 in Talorchestia, 80% of the known species at that time. Starting in the early 1970’s Bousfield (see Lowry & Bopiah 2012 for a review) began to develop a generic structure for talitrids, which indicated more concise geographic ranges for the genera. Morino & Miyamoto (1988) revised Talorchestia and confined it to 4 species in the western Pacific Ocean, subsequently increased to 9 species (see Lowry & Bopiah 2013). It is now apparent that the approximately 65 talitrid genera are not individually widespread, but occur in well-defined ranges as a result of vicariant dispersal. The exceptions are almost always taxa with anthropogenic dispersal.
Bousfield (1982) thought of Orchestia as a coastal Atlantic-Mediterranean genus of about 15 species. His definition took in most, but not all of the European species. Although his definition also took in five New Zealand species Bousfield did not recognise them.
Currently Orchestia (sensu lato) contains about 28 species from varied habitats and widespread geography. In this paper we redefine Orchestia to include a marine supralittoral group, from eastern North America, some northeastern Atlantic islands, western Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, plus the anomalous outlier in New Zealand. In addition, we establish the new genus Cryptorchestia, to include nine terrestrial species, previously embedded in Orchestia, from Europe and some islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
