The Japanese entomologist Michio Chûjô described five Ciidae species collected during the Danish "Noona Dan" Expedition in 1961-62 to the southern Philippines and the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea. We had access to images of their holotypes deposited in the Natural History Museum of Denmark and concluded that some taxonomic changes are necessary to better position them within the currently recognized Ciidae genera. The following new combinations are proposed: Ditrichocis mussauense (Chûjô, 1966) comb.

Article Synopsis
- The Kekenodontidae are a group of late-surviving prehistoric whales known as archaeocetes from the Late Oligocene period found in the Southwest Pacific, including a newly identified species from New Zealand.
- Phylogenetic studies show that this new genus fits into the Kekenodontidae family and is closely related to another unnamed kekenodontid, suggesting they represent the last of the archaeocetes before future evolutionary developments occurred.
- The study highlights the unique dental characteristics of the juvenile holotype, which indicates the potential persistence of diphyodonty (having two sets of teeth) in these whales, a trait not observed in later cetaceans.
Generic reassignment of Centropristis fuscula Poey, 1861 (Teleostei: Serranidae), with re-description of the species and comments on its geographical range and sexual system.

Centropristes fusculus Poey, 1861 historically has variously and somewhat perplexingly been assigned to Centropristis Cuvier, 1829, Prionodes Jenyns, 1840, and Serranus Cuvier, 1816. Here, we provide evidence from comparisons of morphology, ecology, and sexual systems for its inclusion in Serranus and redescribe the species based on the holotype and 60 specimens from Brazil, the Caribbean, the United States, and Uruguay. Serranus fusculus is a simultaneous hermaphrodite, a sexual system that is relevant to its generic placement.
