Mahunka, 1984 (Acari, Oribatida, Mycobatidae) from South Africa Author: Coetzee, L. Author's address: National Museum, Bloemfontein, South
Africa. E-mail: louise.coetzee@nasmus.co.za Abstract: Three new species in the genus Afroleius Mahunka,1984 are described from South Africa. A. crassus sp. n. can be recognised by the wedge-shaped lateral profile and undulated latero-postero notogastral
margin; A. decurvatus sp. n. is recognised by the slender, sharply decurved sensillar stalk and thick-walled tubular sacculi, and
A. deformatoides sp. n. is similar to the type species A. deformis but differs by the octotaxic system
consisting of porose areas and the presence of foveae in the central parts of the notogaster. Key words: Oribatida, Mycobatidae, Afroleius, new species, South Africa. Download in Portable Document Format (pdf)

reviewed and a key to the known species is given. A new species, Trachytes mahunkai sp. n., is described and illustrated.
The new species is closely related to T. micropunctata Huţu, 1973, but it possesses a sculptural pattern consists of oval, irregular pits. Key words: Acari, Uropodina, Trachytes, new records, new species, Romania. Download in

Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 59(4), pp. 337–345, 2013 Title: Contribution to the knowledge of ptyctimous
mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Madagascar Author: Niedbala, W.1 and Starý, J.2 Authors' addresses: 1Department of Animal Taxonomy and Ecology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Umultowska 89, 61–614 Poznan, Poland. E-mail: wojciech.niedbala@amu.edu.pl Abstract: Three new species of ptyctimous oribatid mites, Oribotritia mahunkai sp. n., Protophthiracarus mahunkai sp. n. and Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) mahunkai sp. n., collected in various localities in Madagascar, are described and figured. The species found are representatives of three different genera, whereas one of them belongs to the superfamily of Euphthiracaroidea, family Oribotritiidae Grandjean, 1954, and the other two to the superfamily of Phthiracaroidea, family Steganacaridae Niedbała, 1986 from the Euptyctima group.

Blaszak, 1976 (Mesostigmata: Zerconidae) Author: Ujvári, Zs. Author's address: Hungarian Natural History Museum,
H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13, Hungary. E-mail: zs_ujvari@yahoo.com Abstract: Diagnosis of genera Macrozercon Blaszak, 1976 and Microzercon Blaszak, 1976 are redefined. Six new species, Macrozercon washingtonicus sp. n., Microzercon alaskaensis sp. n., Microzercon luiseae sp. n., Microzercon mahunkai sp. n., Microzercon
nudus sp. n., and Microzercon pardus sp. n. are described. Genera Bakeras Blaszak, 1984, Blaszakiella Sikora et Skoracki, 2008, and Paleozercon Blaszak et al., 1995 are proposed as junior synonyms of Microzercon Blaszak,
1976, which results in the following new combinations: Microzercon americanus (Sikora et Skoracki, 2008) comb. n., Microzercon
cavernicolus (Blaszak et al., 1995) comb. n. and Microzercon opiparus (Blaszak, 1984) comb. n. A key to the known Microzercon species is provided. Key words: Zerconidae, Macrozercon,

(Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) Authors: Szederjesi, T.1, Pavlícek,
T.2 and Csuzdi, Cs.3 Authors' addresses: 1Department of Systematic Zoology and Ecology, Eötvös Loránd University, H-1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/C, Hungary; E-mail: t.szederjesi@gmail.com Abstract: Elaborating a new material from Jordan
resulted in describing two species Dendrobaena alexandrii and Dendrobaena transjordanica new to science and a
new record for the country. The updated list of earthworms reports 20 species recorded in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Out of all recorded species 9–12 species (45–60%) are autochtonous and 8–11 species (40–55%) are introduced. Key words: earthworms, Jordan, Dendrobaena, new species, new records.

Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 59(4), pp. 401–421, 2013 Title: New Fridericia species (Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae) from Vértes Mountains of Hungary Author: Dózsa-Farkas, K. Author's address: Department of Systematic Zoology and
Ecology, Eötvös Loránd University, H-1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/C, Hungary; E-mail: kdozsafarkas@gmail.com Abstract: The up to now unknown enchytraeid fauna of
the Vértes Mountains (part of the Transdanubian Mountains, Hungary) was investigated. Eleven genera, 41 species and one subspecies were identified. One species, Fridericia mahunkai sp. n. and one subspecies Fridericia gamotheca hungarica ssp. n. are new to
science. It is proposed to distinguish three subspecies of Fridericia gamotheca Issel, 1905: F. g. gamotheca, F. g.
maroccoiensis and F .g. hungarica ssp.n. The description of F. cf alata Nielsen et Christensen, 1959 is provided. The protist Buetschliellopsis sp. is reported for the first time from the gut of an enchytraeid from Hungary. Key words: Fridericia, new species, subspecies, Enchytraeidae, fauna, Vértes Mountains.
