description: Sarsia piriforma Edwards, 1983, new record to China (Fig. 5)
Sarsia piriforma Edwards, 1983: 49, Figs 1–2; Schuchert, 2001; 826, Fig. 34.A–B; Bouillon et al., 2006: 239.
Material examined: Holotype (FIO-HCCS04), one specimen from the Bohai sea of China. Station 5-4 (39°50' 2.58”N, 119°34' 27.4”E), depth 9.5 m, April 2020, collected by Xiao Wang.
Description. (in part after Schuchert, 2001)Adult medusa is5~ 7 mm in height, 5~ 6 mm in width, jelly moderately thick, much thickened at apex which gives a conical shape to the upper of the bell. Interradial exumbrellar furrows shallow. Manubrium is about two times as long as height of bell cavity, with a conical to rounded apical knob. The manubrium has no distinct short proximal part of manubrium and thin serpentine part and a swollen spindle or cylindrical shaped stomach at distal end, the thickness tapers towards distal end (about 1/3 of manubrium). The gonad encircles the manubrium from nearly its origin along the proximal 2/3 of its length, only a short basal portion and stomach is gonad-free. Four radial canals of variable breadth enter gastrodermal chambers of bulbs at their tops. Gastrodermal chambers with concave abaxial sides. Tentacles with spirally arranged nematocyst clusters along nearly their whole length, ending in slightly enlarged, globular clusters. Colors: apical knob and gastrodermal chamber of bulbs orange or scarlet, ocelli black.
Distribution. The Bohai Sea of China; Near Oban, Argyll, Scotland.
Remarks. The medusa of Sarsia piriforma has been found in plankton from the Bohai Sea, which is more similar to Sarsia occulta Edwards 1978. For its distinguishing characteristics, see Table 1.

Sarsia striata Edwards, 1983: 54, Figs. 3 ~4; Schushert, 2001; 831, Figs. 36A~C; Bouillon et al., 2006: 239.
Material examined: Holotype (FIO-HCCS05), one specimen from Bohai sea of China. Station 5-5 (39°48’32.28”N, 119°36’32.70”E), depth 3.4 m, April 2020, collected by Xiao Wang.
Description. Umbrella is bell-shaped, 7~ 8 mm high, 6~ 7 mm wide, jelly relatively thick, more so at apex, top of bell rounded, exumbrella has deep interradial and shallower perradial furrows, subumbrella has interradial pockets at top marked with angular ridges. Manubrium is very extensive, extending far beyond umbrella margin when completely contracted, while in full extension it reaches four times the length of the bell height. Manubrium is divided into long and thin serpentine part and distal swollen stomach. The gonad encircles only the serpentine part of manubrium, leaving only the stomach and the base a part of the tubular section uncovered (totaling about 1/10 of the height of bell). Manubrium often has small apical knob. Radial canals are narrow, without glandular swellings, and pass through mesogloea to enter the gastrodermal chambers of the bulbs at their abaxial side. Bulbs well formed, gastrodermal chambers large, epidermises have black ocelli. Tentacles very long and hollow, covered with spirally arranged clusters of nematocysts, ending in slightly enlarged hollow terminal clusters.
Distribution. The Bohai Sea of China; Firth of Lom, Scotland.
Remarks. This medusae closely resembles Sarsia tubulosa, with interradial exumbrella furrows, an apical knob, and a long manubrium extending far beyond umbrella margin. This species can be distinguished from Sarsia tubulosa primarily by its characteristic subumbrellar pockets with angular ridges, its thicker jelly, and the shorter gonad-free portion at the base of the manubrium.

Record of Apterichtus klazingai from Hawaii
While examining Hawaiian specimens of Apterichtus in the collections of the Australian Museum, BPBM, CAS, and the USNM, we discovered 21 specimens of A. klazingai (Weber 1913) that had been collected in 20 m by the junior author along the Kona Coast of Hawaii. They differ from A. flavicaudus in vertebral counts and cephalic pores (Table 2), and in having numerous small brown spots along the posterodorsal surface of the head (Pl. 1c). They represent a new record for the Hawaiian Archipelago.
Material examined of Hawaiian Apterichtus klazingai: BPBM 7906, 21(100-266), Waawaa Pt., Kona Coast, Hawaii.

Cymothoa epimerica Avdeev, 1979: 225 –227, pl. 2–3; Trilles, 1994: 139; 2008: 23, 26.
Remarks. Cymothoa epimerica can best be identified by the wide and obtuse body; pleonite 1 mostly concealed in dorsal view by pereonite 7; the short uropods that do not extend to the pleotelson posterior margin; carinae on pereopods 5 and 6 which form a posteriorly directed point; acute coxae; pleon and pleotelson sub-equal in width; and pereonite 1 lateral margins with slight protrusions as well as short, wide anterolateral extensions.
Trilles (2008) recorded C. epimerica from the Seychelles and the Red Sea, without illustrations. These records are distant from the original locality off northwestern Australia although the only recorded host fish, Epinephelus malabaricus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) is known from both these localities. Examination of Trilles’ (2008) specimens and comparisons to the type material are needed to confirm this distribution. Trilles (2008) further commented that C. epimerica is very similar to C. curta Schioedte & Meinert, 1884. Comparison of the holotype of C. epimerica to the holotype of C. curta, would be necessary to confirm this potential synonymy. We were unable to locate or obtain type material for either species during the course of this study.
Hosts. Known only from Epinephelus malabaricus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) (see Avdeev 1979).
Distribution. The type locality is off north-western Australia (Avdeev 1979). Subsequently recorded from the Seychelles and Red Sea (Trilles 2008).

Sarsia viridis Brinckmann-Voss, 1980: 29, Fig. 13; Schushert, 2001: 833, Figs. 37A–B; Bouillon et al., 2006: 239.
Material examined: Holotype (FIO-HCCS07), one specimen from the Bohai Sea of China. Station 2-2 (39°55’37.98”N, 119°42’55.02”E), depth 3.4 m, April 2020, collected by Xiao Wang.
Description. Adult medusa is 4~ 5 mm height, maximal diameter slightly less than height, dome-like, jelly fairly thick, especially at top of bell, diminishing in thickness towards margin, umbrella transparent. Manubrium is about twice as long as bell, with conical and short apical chamber, and is divided into long and thin serpentine part and a distal swollen stomach. Gonad is on the serpentine part of manubrium only, leaving the proximal portion free of gonad cover (<1/2 of manubrium). Radial canals enter gastrodermal chambers of bulbs at the top, passing briefly through mesogloea. Gastrodermal chambers of bulbs have concave or straight abaxial walls. Epidermal parts of bulbs relatively shallow with black ocelli. Radial canals are rather thick and clearly visible, thicker than ring canal. Tentacles have nematocyst clusters over most of their length, terminal clusters only slightly larger. Colors: apical chamber, base of manubrium, and marginal bulbs brilliant green, manubrium and tentacles paler green, umbrella slightly green.
Distribution. The Bohai Sea of China; British Columbia and Puget Sound.
Remarks. Sarsia viridis owes its name to the intense green color of the apical chamber, base of the manubrium, and marginal bulbs. Its long gonad-free proximal part of the manubrium resembles those of Sarsia bella, S. densa, and S. bohaiensis sp. nov. The characteristic green colors and the gonad-free proximal portion of the manubrium being shorter than subumbrella height may be considered its distinguishing features (see Table 2).

Kunstidamaeus

description: [[Genus Kunstidamaeus Miko, 2006]]
The recently proposed and defined genus Kunstidamaeus Miko, 2006 is characterised by the presence of typical set of 2 prodorsal tubercles (Ba, La), presence of propodolateral apophyse P developed usually as a tip or tubercle perpendicular to body, presence of well developed ventral tubercle Va and presence of usually strongly bent spinae adnatae (Miko, 2006; Miko & Mourek, 2008). Interlamellar setae in are much shorter than sensillus, tibial and genual setation formula is 4-4-3-3 (solenidia not included), solenidia of genua I-III are accompanied with companion seta d and ventral accessory seta Ny2' is absent on all tarsi. Genus comprises of several species, which have been grouped to three species groups (Miko & Mourek, 2008): “lengersdorfi” group with type species K. lengersdorfi (Willmann, 1932), K. nidicola (Willmann, 1936) and K. diversipilis (Willmann, 1951); “tecticola” group with K. tecticola (Michael, 1888) and K. longisetosus (Willmann, 1953); and finally “tenuipes” group with K. tenuipes (Michael, 1885), K. granulatus (Willmann, 1951) and K. nivalis (Kulczynski, 1902).
The aim of present paper is to provide modern redescriptions of the species of “tenuipes” group, which is characterised by somewhat shorter and usually slightly clavate sensillus covered often by dense spinuli or hairs. Species of this group - unlike in the rest of the genus - have often spinae adnatae shorter and only slightly bent or almost straight (only K.nivalis has spinae adnatae strongly bent, almost U-shaped). The species K. tenuipes and K. granulatus were studied on mounted material from Strenzke Collection in Frankfurt Senckenberg Museum, and Willmann´s material from Zoologische Staatsammlung in Munich. The rare and for long time not found classical species K. nivalis from Slovak Tatra Mountains is redescribed in more detail on the basis of recently collected individual (Starý, 1996), and material collected by Frenzel from Willmann´s collection. Description of a new species, found during faunistic studies in East Slovakia, belonging to this group is given as well, together with discussion of potential relations to other known species.

description: Cymothoa hermani Hadfield, Bruce & Smit, 2011
Cymothoa hermani Hadfield, Bruce & Smit, 2011: 57 –68.
Remarks. Cymothoa hermani can be identified by the unique bulbous ornamentation on pereonite 1, anterolateral angles on pereonite 1 rounded and produced past frontal margin of cephalon, long and slender dactyli and the numerous lobes on pleopods 4 and 5 in the ovigerous female.
The only other Cymothoa species known from the region, C. eremita, differs from C. hermani by the lack of the characteristic bulbous ornamentation on pereonite 1 that is present in C. hermani. Cymothoa eremita also has a dorsally visible and wider cephalon with the anterolateral margin of pereonite 1 not produced past the cephalon; irregular posterior margins of the pleonites with pleonite 5 appearing to have very distinctly produced sub-medial points; and more acutely produced lateral pereonite margins than in C. hermani.
Hosts. Only known from Leptoscarus vaigiensis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) (see Hadfield et al. 2011). Distribution. Known from the type location, off Miwi Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania (Hadfield et al. 2011).

Cymothoa selari Avdeev, 1978: 32 –33, pl. 2; 1981: 1160–1167; 1990: 32–42, figs. 1–6; Trilles, 1979: 254–265, pl. 1, fig. 8; 1986: 627, tab 1; 1994: 149; 2008: 23; Kensley, 2001: 233.
Remarks. Cymothoa selari is most readily identified by the acute anterolateral margins of pereonite 1; the free cephalon (anterolateral projections not touching the cephalon); the rounded rostrum; short uropods; and large carina on the basis of pereopod 7. Avdeev (1978) described C. selari from the Red Sea, comparing it to the South American species C. ianuarii and C. brasiliensis.
Cymothoa selari was subsequently recorded from Madagascar but without specific data or illustrations (Trilles 2008). This record increases the geographical range of this species substantially. We were unable to locate or obtain type material for this species during the course of this study for a redescription or comparison to Trilles’ (2008) material.
Hosts. Selar crumenophthalmus (Bloch, 1793) (previously as Caranx crumenophthalmus) (see Avdeev 1978; Trilles 1979).
Distribution. Known from the Red Sea (Avdeev 1978; Trilles 1979) and Madagascar (Trilles 2008).

(Figure 1)
(= O. venusta Berlese, 1908)
Literature used for identification — Bulanova- Zachvatkina (1975), Iordansky (1991), Perez-Iaeigo (1993), Weigmann (2006), Wunderle et al. (1990). Material examined: 20 populations (7 – 11 specimens of each population) from different ecosystem types and sampling areas.
Diagnosis (type species of the genus) — Medium sized species, but comparatively, one of the larger representatives of the genus; a considerable variability of size has been observed from one population to another (Table 1). Chestnut in colour, cuticle smooth, without obvious ornamentation. Prodorsum with broad, robust lamella, without cuspis; in some specimens a short prolamella present (Figure 1c). Prodorsal setae robust and barbed (Table 2). Sensillus fusiform elongated, often with a pointed tip (Figure 1d). Notogaster with 13 pairs of setae simple and short (p 3 missing), but well discernible. Octotaxic organ represented by 4 pairs of areae porosae, typically placed; Aa oval, larger than A 1, A 2 and A 3 (Figure 1a, e). Epimeral region with characteristic configuration, namely the absence of sternal furrow and the circumpedal carina well developed (Figure 1b). Epimeral setae according to the formula 3:1:3:3. Genito-anal region with the usual setal formula 4:1:2:3.
Distribution and autecology — Holarctic species; India (Subias 2004).
Oribatula tibialis is the most common species of the genus, being recorded in all zones of Romania, in various habitats, from the subalpine zone to the plains, and in the Danube Delta. It is tolerant of industrial pollution (heavy metals, cement dust). Nevertheless, it prefers the soil of deciduous forests (reaching densities of 5,300 individuals/m 2) and moist meadows (Vasiliu et al. 1993).

Agaraea nigrotuberculata Bryk, 1953 syn. n. (Fig. 2)
Agaraea klagesi (Rothschild, 1909a: 290) was described based on two female syntypes from Fonte Boa, Amazonas, Brazil. One female is deposited in NHUK, labeled “Fonte Boas, Amazonas, August 1906 (S. M. Klages)”, is here designated lectotype (Fig. 1). It is in good condition. Furthermore, A. nigrotuberculata Bryk, 1953: 214 was described from a male holotype from Rio Purus, Amazonas [Brazil], and is deposited in NRS (Fig. 2). The holotype of A. nigrotuberculata has few scales on its wings and is faded. Despite of genitalia being unknown for both species, the habitus of A. nigrotuberculata matches the habitus of A. klagesi and the type localities are on the same biogeographical area. For these reasons, the new synonymy is here proposed.

Recently, a male lectotype of Eucereon sericeum Zerny, 1931: 25; pl. 1, fig. 5 has been designated and illustrated by Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015). The habitus and genitalia of the lectotype are certainly not part of a monophyletic concept of Eucereon or even Ctenuchina (Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler 2015). In fact, morphological traits of lectotype are similar to those of Agaraea longicornis Herrich-Schäffer, [1855], the type species of the genus Agaraea Herrich-Schäffer (illustrated in Vincent & Laguerre, 2014). For this reason, the above-mentioned new combination is here proposed.
Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015) also stated that there are three other species closely related to A. sericeum: Eucereon album (Druce), E. vestalis (Schaus) and Hyaleucerea mundula (Berg). Further studies are necessary to know if these species really correspond to Agaraea.

(Figure 2)
Literature — Berlese (1916), Mahunka (1994), Weigmann (2006).
Material examined — 5 – 9 specimens of 2 populations, from the Danube Delta (cultivated soil) and Prut river meadow (pasture).
Diagnosis — Species of medium size (Table 1), yellowish to light chestnut in colour. Cuticle smooth, without ornamentation. Prodorsum with ribbon shaped lamella; lamellar apex concave, and its median angle prominent; a short and curved prolamella can be observed. Prodorsal setae robust, finely barbed. Sensillus relatively short, fusiform clavate, with rounded end. (Table 2). Notogaster with 13 pairs of simple and thin notogastral setae, often hardly observable; the 4 pairs of areae porosae are round and small, placed in the usual position. Ventral side has the aspect and chaetotaxy characteristic for the genus.

2 L –length; W ‐ width; Lp – length of prodorsum; Ln ‐ length of notogaster
Remarks — Although considered as synonym of O. tibialis (Subias 2004, 2012), O. amblyptera differs from the nominate species by a number of characters, such as: body size, shape and length of sensillus, smaller areae porosae, especially Aa, shorter notogastral and prodorsal setae in and le (Tables 1, 2).
Distribution — Southern and Central Europe (Weigmann 2006). In Romania this species was recently recorded in the Eastern region, in wet soils, including cultivated ones, from Prut river meadow and the Danube Delta (Ivan 2009).

Remarks. Trilles (1975; 1994) suggested that Cymothoa rotundifrons could be placed in synonymy with C. borbonica as C. rotundifrons is known only from the original record (from Mauritius) and corresponds with the distribution of C. borbonica. Deposition of the type material for C. rotundifrons is not known, and equally could not be located in any European museum. This species has only been collected once and with no other material to represent the species, discussions on this species are based on the type drawings. Comparison of Haller’s (1880) figures to the lectotype of C. borbonica show the two species are similar, but cannot be conclusively considered the same species, as the type material for C. rotundifrons is most probably destroyed, lost or otherwise misplaced. As the host identity for C. rotundifrons is not known and there are multiple species of Cymothoa in the Mauritius region, it is unlikely that the identity of this species will ever be established; therefore we here place Cymothoa rotundifrons into nomen dubium.

Material examined — 7 – 11 specimens of 3 populations from the Eastern Romania (grasslands and cultivated soils).
Diagnosis — Species of medium size, chestnut to brown in colour; it is one of the larger species of this genus (Table 1). Tegument without obvious ornamentation, excepting ventral plate that can show fields with foveolae. Prodorsum conical, with convergent lamellae, their width decreasing to the apex (Fig 3a, b). Prodorsal setae robust and barbed. Sensillus fusiform elongated, with lanceolate end. Notogaster oval, with 13 pairs of notogastral setae, simple and relatively long (Table 2). The areae porosae (4 pairs) are oval, Aa larger than A 1 -A 3, being typically positioned. Epimeral region strongly sclerotized, with the setal formula 3:1:3:3. Genitoanal region with the typical chaetotaxy.
Remarks — The material collected in Romania is very close to the original description of Willmann (1949), also to redescription of Kunst (1957). Travé (1961) observed some differences between his specimens and those described by Willmann; subsequently, many authors referred to pannonica, sensu Travé. Comparing these descriptions and/or illustrations it seems to be two different entities. Differences can be observed in the shape of sensillus, shape of lamella (Travé 1961, Weigmann 2006), length and number of notogastral setae (Bayartogtokh 2010).
Distribution and autecology — Palaearctic species (Subias 2004). O. pannonica can be considered a typical meadow species; in Romania it was recorded especially in hilly pastures and hayfields (reaching abundance of 4,900 individuals/m 2), and only accidentally in forests; also, it was found in cultivated soils, proving tolerance to some degree of salinity (Vasiliu et al. 1993).

Literature — Schweizer (1956), Grobler and Skubala (2000), Weigmann (2006).
Material examined — 2 specimens from the Retezat Massif, 1 specimen from Turu’s Gorges (Apuseni Mountains).
Diagnosis — Medium sized species, one of the smaller representatives of the genus (Table 1), light yellowish in colour. Cuticle smooth, without ornamentation. Prodorsum elongated, with long lamellae; lamellar apex with a rounded, evident cuspis. A long prolamella is present, almost reaching the origin of rostral setae (Figure 4b). Prodorsal setae finely barbed, sensillus fusiform clavate. Notogaster oval, rounded, with 13 pairs of simple and short setae (Table 2). Areae porosae are small, round, in the usual position. Epimeral and genito-anal regions with typical aspect. Chaetotaxy of these regions are also characteristic for the genus.
Distribution and autecology — Central and Western Europe (Subias 2004). O. longelamellata is a mountain to alpine species; in Romania was recorded in the Retezat National Park and in the Turu’s Gorges (Apuseni Mountains), only on limestones, therefore can be considered a stenotopic form (Vasiliu et al. 1993).

Material examined — 7- 11 specimens each of 3 populations from the Eastern Carpathians (subalpine meadow and shrubs, saxicolous habitat with lichens).
Diagnosis — Species of medium size (Table 1), yellowish coloured. Tegument without apparent ornamentation. Prodorsum with a prominent rostral tectum, like a naso. Lamella wide, ribbon shaped, with the apex truncate; thickened lines, medially directed can be observed, as is an interrupted translamella. Prodorsal setae robust and barbed. Sensillus fusiform clavate, with rounded tip. Notogaster oval, with 13 pairs of notogastral setae, simple and short (Table 2). Areae porosae round, Aa larger than the remaining ones. Epimeral and genito-anal regions with characteristic configuration for the genus and with typical chaetotaxy.
Distribution and autecology — Holarctic species (Subias 2004). In Romania this species was recorded as Oribatula alpina Schweizer, 1956 in different mountain ecosystems, including subalpine and alpine ones, especially from the Eastern Carpathians (Vasiliu et al. 1993).
