TL;DR: Meteorona kishinouyei gen. et sp.
Abstract: A new family, genus and species of cubozoan box jellyfish belonging to the order Chirodropida is reported from the eastern Japan. Meteorona kishinouyei gen. et sp. n. possesses the following unique morphological characters with respect to other known species in the Chirodropida: having one tentacle per scalpel-like unbranched pedalium and slightly raised unbranched gastric saccules. A comparative table of the primary diagnostic characters of genus and order in the Chirodropida is given. The order Chirodropida is redefined. The family Chiropsellidae is established. Discussion is provided on the implications for these findings on our current understanding of Cubozoan systematics.

TL;DR: This is the first report of the association of 16SrII-A group phytoplasma with pedalium phyllody from the world and no link with root (wilt) disease in coconut could be established based on molecular characterization studies.
Abstract: Phytoplasma belonging to subgroup 16SrII-A and identified as “Candidatus Phytoplasma australasiae”- was found constantly associated with phyllody of Pedalium murex, a common medicinal cum succulent weed in coconut ecosystem prevalent in South India Infected P murex showed stunted growth with reduced leaf size, shortened internodes and the characteristic transformation of floral parts into leafy structures typical to that of phytoplasma disease This weed could possibly serve as a reservoir of sesamum phyllody in this region but no link with root (wilt) disease in coconut could be established based on molecular characterization studies This is the first report of the association of 16SrII-A group phytoplasma with pedalium phyllody from the world
