Intensive research on the stoneflies of Central and Eastern Algeria has uncovered three Protonemura Kempny, 1898 taxa new for Algeria: P. drahamensis Vinçon & Pardo, 2006 and P. algirica bejaiana Vinçon & Muranyi, 2009, and Amphinemura berthelemyi Vinçon, Yasri & Lounaci, 2013. The three Nemouridae Newman, 1853 are endemic of Central Maghreb (Western Tunisia and Eastern Algeria), increasing the list of Algerian Nemouridae to seven species. Two other species, collected only as larvae, could not be identified to species: Amphinemura sp. and Nemoura sp. Protonemura talboti (Navás, 1929) is reported for the first time from Central Algeria (Blida). The distribution and the ecology of the Algerian Nemouridae are discussed. Distribution maps, habitat photos and drawings of the species are presented.

Glyptotermes chiraharitae n. sp., a new dampwood termite (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) is described from Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary, an evergreen forest of South India, based on the characters of imagoes, soldiers and pseudoworkers. The species is unique in the genus due to the following combination of characters seen in their soldiers: frons inclined sharply and only with a weak depression and a bilobed impression medially, frontal protuberances weak, epicranial suture or Y-suture indistinct and antennae with 12 segments. 95% of GlyptotermesFroggatt, 1897, of the Oriental Region are endemic. A dichotomous key to the soldiers of the Glyptotermes spp. from India is also provided here.

Le genre endémique malgache ParalygdamiaSaussure & Zehntner, 1895, considéré jusqu'à une date toute récente comme monospécifique avec son espèce-type Paralygdamia madecassaSaussure & Zehntner, 1895, est révisé en prenant en compte plus de 200 spécimens. Une nouvelle synonymie est proposée, celle de Galepsus conspersus Sjöstedt, 1930, avec P. madecassa ; deux espèces, anciennement décrites dans d'autres genres sont ajoutées : Paralygdamia madagascariensis (Audinet-Serville, 1838) n. comb., avec désignation d'un néotype, et P. sikorai (Beier, 1931) n. comb. ; enfin sept espèces sont décrites comme nouvelles : Paralygdamia gigliotosi n. sp., P. nosyensis n. sp., P. grandidieri n. sp., P. fisheri n. sp., P. wintreberti n. sp., P. ifatyensis n. sp. et P. punctata n. sp. Des clés d'identification en français et en anglais sont fournies pour l'ensemble des espèces.
The Chinese fauna of Lispe tentaculata-group is reviewed. A new synonym for L. sericipalpisStein, 1904 is established: L. fanjingshanensis Wei, 2006 n. syn. Taxonomic status of the suspected species L. alpinicolaWu & Fan, 1981 is discussed. The keys to males and females of all five species within the group in China are established. Morphological details of both sexes are illustrated using light microscopy photographs, scanning electronic microscopy images and line drawings, of which male and female terminalia are summarized as novel characteristics for diagnosis. The group is divided into two subgroups (L. tentaculata-subgroup and L. orientalis-subgroup) based on two characteristics (first fore tarsomere and phallus). To fill the gap of molecular research in Lispe, we construct a phylogenetic tree within the genus focusing on L. tentaculata-group, which verifies the division of two subgroups.
A collection of Majoidea Samouelle, 1819 crabs carried out during the KARUBENTHOS 2012 Expedition to Guadeloupe Island and sorted during an international workshop at Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise in 2013 is reported. A total of 60 species are identified, 30 being new records for Guadeloupe Island. Each species is presented with notes on habitat, geographical distribution and previous records for the Lesser Antilles. A documented list of 42 additional Majoidea species is also proposed for the Lesser Antilles Islands based on a bibliographic research. A total of 102 Majoidea crabs are currently reported from the Lesser Antilles, of which 81 around Guadeloupe Island.
A catalogue of types of Hawaiian land and freshwater snails (Mollusca: Gastropoda) deposited in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris, was recently published in Zoosystema. Type material of an additional species, Lymnaea affinisSouleyet, 1852, has since been found and is here documented and a lectotype designated.
