In this paper we represent a new species, Cteniobathynella ahnerti sp. nov., from South America. The new species is characterized by the heterodont teeth on free margin of labrum, the spine row of the mandible consisting of four thick spines, the presence of two setae on outer distal margin of distal segment of maxillule, the prehensile nature of maxilla and the oblique arrangement of two spines on sympod and the presence of a median spine on the endopod of the uropod.

A new species of the genus Oligonychus Berlese, 1886, Oligonychus solus n. sp. is described with its diagnostic characteristics and figures from Korea. This new species resembles closely to Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi, 1905), but is easily distinguished by the transverse striae anterior to genital flap.

Two new species of the superfamily Membraniporoidea, Conopeum hexagonum and Gregarinidra corbulra, are reported from Korea. These two genera are new to the Korean fauna. The former species is characteristic in the shape of zooids and the latter one in the number of spines.

A new species of Hedysarum (Fabaceae, Hedysareae) was found in Tibet, China. This new species, Hedysarum hirtifoliolum, belongs to sect. Hedysarum and is readily distinguishable in having greenish yellow flowers, pubescent above surface of leaflets and transversely obovate loments. So far, it is collected from only one locality in Tibet.

Two new Hydropsychidae (Insecta: Trichoptera) species from the Philippines are described. Hydropsyche philippinensis, n. sp., differs from other congeners in the structure of the phallic apparatus. Diplectrona lagunensis, n. sp., can be distinguished from other congeners by its distinct white band pattern in the forewings and by the structure of the phallus. Both new species were collected from a high mountain stream in the northern part of the Philippines. Paratype materials were barcoded to make the sequences readily available in the GenBank.

In this paper, we describe Endocarpon subramulosum as a new species from temperate regions of South Korea, which grows over soil on rocks. The proposed new species is morphologically similar to E. ramulosum Harada, which has so far been reported from Japan.

Fifteen species of water mites belonging to the genus Atums are reported from the eastern area of Korea, with the following five of them described as new species: Aturus glaberus, A. parauarus, A. quodrotus, A. sankveriensis, and A. trifurcatus, n. sap. A. complexus Sokolow and A. tewaconfusensis Habeeb, both new records for Korean fauna, are re-described.

A new species of the genus Texanobathynella is described from California, USA. Texanobathynella sachi, new species, belongs to the family Parabathynellidae. A comparison of morphological details makes it possible to distinguish Texanobathynella from the genus Iverobathynella. Texanobathynella bears unique characters in construction of antennules, labrum, maxiilae and mandible.

From an examination of caprellid specimens collected from Korea, we found a new species belonging to the genus Perotripus. This new species is clearly distinguished from two previously recorded species, P. brevis and P. keablei, in having an acute projection and blunt apex of distal segment of pereopod 5. This genus Perotripus is reported from Korea for the first time. We described it with figures in detail. As a result, Korean caprellid fauna consists of 35 species in seven genera.

A taxonomic study on the genus Tropocyclops has been accomplished as a part of the series of studies on the freshwater cyclopoid copepods in South Korea. As a result, the Tropocyclops prasinus, hitherto known from Korea in many reports and papers, turns out to be a species complex of three sibling species: T. prasinus (Fischer, 1860), T. ishidai n. sp., and T. setulifer n. sp. This paper deals with description of two of these new species with taxonomic accounts on their inter- or intraspecific morphological discrepancies.
