The agelenid spider species Coelotes vignai Brignoli, 1978 was described, based on female specimens from Turkey. The unknown male is here described, based on specimens from the type locality: Bolu, Abant Mountains, Turkey. The variation of the female copulatory organs is illustrated. The relationships of the species with its putative closest congeners are discussed. The discrepancy between the morphological terminology used in the Coelotinae and Ageleninae is discussed and some suggestions how to unify them are proposed.

A new mite species, Holoparasitus rhombogynialis sp. nov. (Acari: Parasitidae) is described from Karavanke (Slovenia-Austria border). H. hemisphaericus (Vitzthum, 1923) is redescribed, including a description of the previously unknown male from the type locality in northern Austria. Both species are considered to be members of the Holoparasitus hemisphaericus species-group, which is newly defined. Ologamasus absoloni Willmann, 1940 is synonymised with H. hemisphaericus, and the female of H. intermedius (Holzmann) sensu Micherdziński is synonymised with H. cornutus Juvara-Bals & Witaliński.

Dusmadiores elgonensis sp. nov. (♂♀) is described from the Mount Elgon region, Uganda. It is the first Dusmadiores species found within the eastern Afromontane highlands. D. elgonensis is remarkable by the presence of a conspicuous group of spines on the retrolateral side of the cymbium just in front of the RTA in males. The unknown male of D. deserticola Jocqué, 2011 is described. The type locality of the latter species is corrected to Cabo Verde, Santiago, São Jorge dos Órgãos. An illustrated key to the seven known Dusmadiores species is provided.

A new spider species, Harpactea konradi, is described and illustrated from specimens collected in South Bulgaria (Eastern Rhodopes). The male palps of the species resemble those of Harpactea srednagora Dimitrov & Lazarov, 1999, in having the biforcate embolus, but this is thicker and more massive, and the conductor is tighter and longer. It is known only from the type locality.

A new species of predaceous midge, Austrosphaeromias setosa sp. nov., is described and illustrated from adult males and females collected in the Patagonian-Andean region of Argentina and Chile. Based on examination of the type species of Austrosphaeromias Spinelli, 1997 and recently collected specimens from near the type-locality, the female and previously unknown male of Austrosphaeromias chilensis (Ingram & Macfie, 1931) are also described and illustrated. Descriptions are accompanied by color photographs and illustrations of key features of females and males of both species. We also provide a key to adult females and males of the four species of Austrosphaeromias.

The Pholcus phungiformes species group is highly diverse and currently contains 53 species. In this study, Pholcus tongyaoi Wang & Yao, sp. nov. (male, female) from Huairou District, Beijing, China is described while similar congener Pholcus lexuancanhi Yao, Pham & Li, 2012 from neighboring Haidian District (type locality) is redescribed; the female of P. lexuancanhi is described for the first time. In addition, the DNA barcode COI for the two species was obtained to estimate p-distance.

The genus Savarna Huber, 2005 was previously one of the most poorly known Pholcinae genera. Less than 20 specimens (representing four nominal species) were available worldwide; nothing was known about ultrastructure, natural history, or relationships. We present the first SEM data, supporting the position of the genus in Pholcinae outside the Pholcus group of genera and weakly suggesting a closer relationship with the genera Khorata Huber, 2005, Spermophorides Wunderlich, 1992, and two undescribed species of unknown affinity from Borneo. We provide the first data about microhabitat, web structure, and reaction to disturbance. We clarify the type locality of Savarna tessellata (Simon, 1901) (“Jalor, Biserat”) and describe topotypical material. We describe the previously unknown male of Spermophora miser Bristowe, 1952 and transfer the species (that was previously considered incertae sedis) to Savarna as Savarna miser (Bristowe, 1952) comb. nov. Savarna baso (Roewer, 1963) is newly synonymized with S. miser. We newly describe the most northern species in the genus, Savarna kaeo sp. nov., and provide amendments to the descriptions of all previously described species.

Aczél established the genus Idiopyrgota to place a single species, I. setiventris, based on an analysis of eight females from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The species is redescribed on the basis of new available material from the type locality as well as one female specimen from Jujuy, Argentina (this is the first record of this species in this area). Adult anatomical structures are described and illustrated in detail, including information of the previously unknown male and female spermathecae. This study provides better grounds for the recognition of the taxon.

Eurema nilgiriensis Yata, 1990, the Nilgiri grass yellow, was described from Nilgiris in southern India. There are not many published records of this species since its original description, and it was presumed to be a high-elevation endemic species restricted to its type locality. Based on the external morphology (wing patterns) as well as the male genitalia, the first confirmed records of the species from Agasthyamalais and Kodagu in the southern Western Ghats, is provided here. This report is a significant range extension for the species outside the Nilgiris, its type locality. Ecological data pertaining to this species as well as the field identification key to all known Eurema of Western Ghats are also presented.

Eight species of mesoplodont whales (genus Mesoplodon Gervais, 1850) named during the nineteenth century are based on valid descriptions. A checklist with the original description and type material for each of these species is provided. Additional data given may include type locality and illustrative sources, type material holding institution and type registration number(s). The only type specimen for which a record of external morphology was published relates to the 1803 stranding of Sowerby's beaked whale (Mesoplodon bidens).
