The braconid genus Napo was established by Shaw (2012) for a single species Napo townsendi Shaw, 2012 from Napo Province, Ecuador. However, the genus name Napo is preoccupied and was initially introduced by Linnavuori & DeLong (1976) for a deltocephalinae leafhopper genus with Napo brazosellus Linnavuori & DeLong, 1976 as the type species (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). Thus, the genus Napo Shaw, 2012 is a junior homonym of the genus Napo Linnavuori & DeLong, 1976. According to Article 60 of the ICZN (2015), we propose the new replacement name Yanayacu nom. nov. for Napo Shaw, 2012. The resulting nomenclatural changes are summarized below.

Article Synopsis
- - A new genus of leafhoppers called Dutrapona has been identified within the Gyponini tribe, including three new species from Central and South America.
- - The newly described species are Dutrapona tenuis from Costa Rica, Dutrapona reticulata from Ecuador, and Dutrapona zahniseri from Panama, with Dutrapona tenuis being the type species.
- - Dutrapona can be differentiated from other genera in the Gyponini tribe by its unique physical traits, such as specific shapes and positions of ocelli, distinctive features of the crown, and characteristics of the male reproductive structures.
A new miniature species of freshwater crab from the genus Tiwaripotamon Bott, 1970 (Potamidae), is described from a montane karst area in southern Napo, at the China-Vietnam border. It is the twelfth known species of the genus, and is also the smallest known, with the largest adult specimen observed barely exceeding 20 mm in carapace width. Apart from the small size, features of the eyes, carapace and ambulatory legs further set Tiwaripotamon keeae sp.

Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease responsible for massive amphibian die-offs worldwide, caused by the fungus (Bd). Potential symbiotic relationships between frogs and the bacteria residing on their skin-referred to as skin-bacteria-may inhibit Bd growth, aiding in resistance to this lethal disease. This research had three main objectives: (1) to detect the presence of Bd in native populations of , and in the central Andes and coastal southern regions of Ecuador; (2) to identify the culturable skin-bacteria; and (3) to analyze differences among the bacterial communities in the three species studied.
