Two new rotifera species, Brachionus huangi n. sp. and Lecane chinesemis n. sp. are described and illustrated from different localities in China. The main distinguishing taxonomic features of B. huangi are three pairs of apical spines, a pair of symmetrical caudal spines and a wide caudal projection

β¦ Synopsis
The rotifer fauna of 100 fresh and saline wetlands of southwest Western Australia is documented . A systematic list of 83 recorded taxa is given, with eleven new records for the continent and two new species (Brachionus pinneenaus n . sp . and Lecane boorali n . sp .) described and figured . Species assemblages are distinct from those of eastern Australia, with predominant taxa halophilous or indicative of ephemeral waters . Evolutionary and biogeographical relationships of the Western Australian rotifers are considered .

To contribute to the biogeographical knowledge of rotifers, we critically re-evaluate the species of Lecanidae recorded from Thailand. We report on a number of rare (L. armata THOMASSON, L. bulla diabolica HAUER, L. chinesensis ZHUGE and KOSTE) and one new species of Lecane. Lecane latissima YAMAMOT
## Abstract The type species of the genus __Prolecanites__ is discussed. The generic name __Paraprolecanites__ Karpinsky 1889 is invalid, being founded on a hypothetical suture line. Forms showing this type of suture line have since been found and the genus __Epicanites__ was erected by Schindewolf
On the basis of recently collected material a new species of the hylid genus Litoriu is described from the Wondiwoi Mts. at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, northwestern New Guinea, Papua, Province of Indonesia. The new species is among the larger species of the Papuan Litoviu and shows extreme
