Examined material. DZMB-HH-4795-08 (DZMB-Senckenberg Biozentrum Grindel und Zoologische Museum). Serial sections (eight slides) and sclerites (one stub, five slides). Guinea Basin. DIVA 2 e Me 63/2, area 4, station 90 (00º 40.49’N, 05º 29.71’W), 5144 m depth.
Description. Elongate body (3.1 mm long, 0.2 mm wide in the middle and anterior region). Specimen is significantly narrowed towards the posterior end (0.08 mm), probably due to poor fixation or death of the specimen well before fixation. It is white, slightly yellowish in 70 % ethanol (Figure 8 C). With four types of sclerites, including two different leaf-shaped scales: 1) Lanceolate, leaf-shape scales (Figure 8 C-1, 2): they are the most abundant sclerites. They are long and narrow (50 to 89.5 μm long, 13.5 to 27.2 μm wide), with a truncated proximal end and a distal end that can be pointed. 2) Rounded, leaf-shaped scales (Figure 8 C-3; 51 to 60 μm long, 20 to 25.5 μm wide). 3) Laminar scales (Figure 8 C-4, 5) that are concentrated in the ventral and posterior region. Very narrow, almost acicular, with pointed ends (70.5 to 80.8 μm long, 6.7 to 10.5 μm wide). 4) Oar-shaped scales (Figure 8 C-6) that are narrow and slightly pointed (55.6 to 80.3 μm long, 8.2 to 10 μm wide in the middle region, the narrow base is between 1.7 and 2 μm wide).

(Figure 8, Table 2)
Examined material. DZMB-HH-14021-17 (DZMB-Senckenberg Biozentrum Grindel und Zoologische Museum). Serial sections (eight slides) and sclerite preparations (two stubs, three slides). Brazil Basin. DIVA 3 Me 79/1, station 609 (area 4); 03º 57.54’S, 28º 03.07’W 5170.4 m depth.
Description. White, scaly animal (in 70 % ethanol) with the anterior end truncated and the posterior end pointed (2.1 mm long, 0.27, 0.25, 0.2 mm of width in the anterior and middle region respectively (Figure 8 D). Sclerites as scales inserted in a single layer in the thin cuticle (<15 μm): 1) Leaf-shaped scales (Figure 8 D-1) that are the main type. These are broad, but narrow towards the apex, with a flat proximal end (64.25 to 79.95 μm in length, 27.95 to 28.16 μm in width). 2) Leaf-shaped scales with a flat proximal end (Figure 8 D-3). These are the second most abundant variety; they are small (40 to 46.3 μm long, 22.5 to 23.6 μm wide) and more damaged (with longitudinal grooves). 3) Oval scales (Figure 8 D-2), which are very small (25 μm long, 10 to 15 μm wide) and few in number, are considered a different variety because of their shape and size but could be leaf-shaped scales that have not yet developed. 4) Solid curved acicular sclerite (Figure 8 D-4), which are concentrated in the dorsal region of the body (97 to 115.6 μm long, 3.6 to 4 μm wide in the middle region and 1.7 to 2 μm wide at the ends). This combination of sclerite types and the shape of the leaf-shaped scales are typical of Helluoherpia.

Pholidoskepia
Dondersiidae

description: Dondersiidae diversity in the abyss and adaptations to the deep sea
Formal descriptions of Pholidoskepia species have only been made for specimens from the South Atlantic Basins sampled during DIVA expeditions, six species in the present work and one species recently described by Cobo & Kocot (2020). The presence of Pholidoskepia and Dondersiidae at abyssal depths has also been recorded from the North West Pacific (Bergmeier et al. 2017, 2019; Ostermair et al. 2018). Previously, it was thought that abyssal species were endemic to a single oceanic basin (e.g. Gil-Mansilla et al. 2009, 2011; Cobo et al. 2013). However, of the ten species of the Angola Basin (Gil-Mansilla et al. 2009, 2011, 2012; Cobo & Kocot 2019), one may have been found by Bergmeier et al. (2017, 2019) in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench (NW Pacific) and the abyssal species Micromenia amphiatlantica has an amphi-Atlantic distribution (Cobo & Kocot 2020). In addition, habitus and sclerites of some of the species treted in the present work have a great resemblance to specimens from the Northwest Pacific (Bergmeier et al. 2019 and personal communication). Molecular data from Atlantic species would be desirable for comparison.
It does not appear that the new abyssal Dondersiidae species have organs or characters representing exclusively special adaptations to these abyssal environments whereas species from hydrothermal vents do have special adaptions (Handl & Todt, 2005; Salvini-Plawen, 2008) as do interstitial species (Morse & Scheltema 1988; García-Álvarez et al. 2000; Kocot & Todt 2014; Bergmeier et al. 2016). However, a posterior gland of unknown function has been described in Inopinatamenia calamitosa sp. n. and Dondersia todtae (Klink et al. 2015). This sort of cell grouping is considered characteristic of interstitial species (García-Álvarez et al. 2000). Such glands have been hypothesized to have an adhesive function (Morse & Scheltema 1988; Salvini-Plawen 1985b) or to be responsible for secretion of mucus during egg-laying (Bergmeier et al. 2016).

Corita
Corita morai

description: Corita morai Urra sp. nov.
(Figs. 1, 2, 19, 20, 37, 38).
Diagnosis. Corita morai is easily recognizable from other species of Corita by having a white FW with abbreviated basal and medial fascia from the anal margin and a grey HW. In C. amphichroma the FW is clay colored, with three black discal spots and two buff spots on the costa; C. nandoi Urra, 2016 and C. guillermoi Urra, 2018 have a brown FW, while in C. attenboroughi Urra, 2017 the FW is white or light grey (Clarke 1978; Urra 2016b, 2017b, 2018a). The FW of C. morai is comparatively narrower than the other species. Furthermore, the known species of Corita have a narrow uncus and sclerotized anellus, and a sclerotized antrum; C. morai does not share these characteristics. The valva of C. morai is similar to that of C. amphichroma and C. attenboroughi with a subparallel ventral edge and costa, while in C. nandoi and C. guillermoi the valva has a constriction at the end of the sacculus.

Type species: Tinea betulinella Hübner, 1819: pl. 67, fig. 448.
Hodges (1974) listed several “structural” characters for the genus Endrosis, which include: scape of antenna with a pecten, abdominal terga with stout, spiniform setae, FW with R 4 and R 5 long-stalked, HW with a cleft costa and only two branches of M; male genitalia with process on the valva, juxta with long lateral lobes, phallus cylindrical, slightly curved; vesica with two group of cornuti; female genitalia with apophyses anteriores and posteriores longer than extended length of remaining abdominal segments, basal part of ductus bursae (antrum) heavily sclerotized, corpus bursae lightly sclerotized with small signum. In addition, R 5 of the FW ends at the costa (Lvovsky 1990). We place the new species E. apablazai in this genus because it shares these characters, except for the presence of a signum on corpus bursae.

Asymmetrasca

description: Asymmetrasca Dlabola, reinstated genus
Asymmetrasca Dlabola 1958: 51. Type species: Empoasca decedens Paoli.
Empoasca Walsh, in part; Dworakowska, 1968: 566; Nast 1972: 264. Synonymised by Dworakowska, 1968.
Diagnosis. Small, green Empoascini resembling Empoasca in external morphology but differing as follows: male subgenital plate narrow at base, lacking angulate dorsolateral projection, setal group A arising far from base of plate; anal hook usually with small apical denticuli; aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, shaft as long as or longer than preatrium with single long asymmetrical process arising at apex and extended basolaterad.
Notes. Asymmetrasca was listed as a junior synonym of Empoasca by Nast (1972) and this interpretation has was followed by the principal taxonomic worker on Palearctic Typhlocybinae (Dworakowska 1982), although other recent authors, mostly in the economic entomology literature (e.g., Jacas et al. 1997), have continued to recognize Asymmetrasca as a valid genus. As noted above, species of the genus differ substantially from the type species of Empoasca in the structure of the male subgenital plate and aedeagus. Therefore, we recognize Asymmetrasca as a valid genus, distinct from Empoasca, sensu stricto. Asymmetrasca appears to be restricted to the Palearctic and Oriental regions and includes 10 previously described species and 6 new species described below. The described species are very similar morphologically, differing mainly in the relative shape, proportions and ornamentation of the aedeagal shaft, preatrium and apical process.
