3. A new species of Ninia (Serpentes, Colubridae) from western Ecuador and revalidation of N. schmidti
  
  from Kyle J. Harris
  
  We describe a new species of Ninia Baird & Girard, 1853 endemic to the cloud forests of northwestern Ecuador. The new species has previously been confused with N. atrata (Hallowell, 1845) and N. teresitae (Angarita-Sierra and Lynch 2017) but is genetically most closely related to a third species of Ninia endemic to the Chocoan–Tumbesian transition area of western Ecuador. We revalidate the name N. schmidti (Jan, 1862), designate a neotype, and provide a diagnosis of the taxon and a description of its hemipenial morphology based on new material. The new and revalidated species can easily be identified from one another and from other trans-Andean South American Ninia based on ventral and subcaudal scale counts, hemipenial morphology, and coloration of the supralabials, throat, and belly. Finally, we remove N. atrata from the herpetofaunal list of Ecuador.

3. Outline, phylogenetic and divergence times analyses of the genus Haploporus (Polyporales, Basidiomycota): two new species are proposed
  
  from Yuan Yuan
  
  Haploporus species have a worldwide distribution and 27 species have been accepted. In this study, two new species, Haploporus crystallinus and H. dextrinoideus, are proposed from South America, based on the molecular fragments (ITS, LSU and mtSSU) and morphological evidence. Molecular clock analysis was performed and the result suggests that the ancestor of Polyporales originated between the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous period, with a mean stem of 159.8 Mya [95% higher posterior density (HPD) of 142.4–184.1 Mya] and the genus Haploporus occurred at a mean stem of 108.3 Mya (95% HPD of 88.5–128.2 Mya). In addition, most species of the genus are diversified between 60.5 Mya and 1.8 Mya, during the Paleogene to Neogene. A key to the accepted species of the genus Haploporus is provided.

3. Metabetaeus lapillicola, a new species of alpheid shrimp (Decapoda: Caridea) from Japan, inhabiting unusual pebble beaches
  
  The alpheid shrimp genus Metabetaeus Borradaile, 1899 was previously known from two species associated with anchialine pools and caves, M. minutus (Whitelegge, 1897) and M. lohena Banner & Banner, 1960, and one species inhabiting in coral reef, M. mcphersonae Anker, 2010. In this study, a new species of the genus is described based on fourteen specimens collected from Shizuoka and Mie Prefectures, Honshu, central Japan. Metabetaeus lapillicola n. sp. inhabits interstitial spaces among small pebbles deposited in lower intertidal to upper subtidal zone, representing rather unusual habitat not only for Metabetaeus, but even for carideans. It is distinguished from three congeneric species by the presence of a pterygostomial spine on the carapace, greatly unequal chelipeds with the major one being substantially elongate, and the lack of a distinct distolateral spine on the uropodal endopod. Phylogenetic analyses using the mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI genes support the recognition of the new species. The generic diagnosis of Metabetaeus is emended to accommodate the new species.
