In the course of preparing a key to the Philippine tiger beetle genera (Pangantihon & Zettel, in prep.) it became necessary to examine the holotype of Cicindela philippinensis Mandl, 1956, the only specimen from the Philippines that has been tentatively assigned to the genus Myriochila Motschulsky, 1857.

A new palaeocorystid crab, Joeranina houssineaui n. sp., is described from upper Cenomanian strata in southwest France, Being apparently derived from J. broderipii, the new species inhabited a sandier substrate environment than its predecessor. The incomplete holotype reveals portions of the internal pleurites, which are rarely seen in extinct crabs.

The descriptions of twelve Venezuelan Scolopendromorpha, a list of species, identification key and detailed list of localities are presented. Cryptops (C.) venezuelae Chamberlin, 1939, known only from the holotype has been re-described and Scolopendra conjungens Muralewicz, 1913 reduced to a junior synonym of Scolopendra angulata Newport, 1844 syn. nov.
