The genus Chrysops from the Australasian and Oriental regions is revised. Two new species are described: Chrysops fuscomarginalis, sp. nov. and C. srilankensis, sp. nov. The status of two species is revised: C. terminalis, stat. rev. is resurrected from questionable synonymy with C. dispar, and C. cinctus, stat rev. is resurrected from synonymy with C. signifer. Fifteen Chrysops names are placed in synonymy for the first time or placed as synonyms of species with which they were not previously associated: C. atrinus syn. of C. silvifacies, syn. nov.; C. australis papuensis syn. of C. australis, syn. nov.; C. flavocallus syn. of C. flavescens, syn. nov.; C. impar syn. of C. translucens, syn. nov.; C. indianus thailandensis syn. of C. indianus, syn. nov.; C. intercalatus syn. of C. pettigrewi, syn. nov.; C. paradesignatus syn. of C. designatus, syn. nov.; C. philipi syn. of C. alter, syn. nov.; C. semicirculus syn. of C. terminalis, syn. nov.; C. silvifacies yunnanensis syn. of C. silvifacies, syn. nov.; C. stekhoveni syn. of C. fixissimus, syn. nov.; C. subchusanensis syn. of C. chusanensis, syn. nov.; C. unizona syn. of C. fixissimus, syn. nov.; C. vietnamensis syn. of C. flaviscutellus, syn. nov.; and C. zhamensis syn. of C. pettigrewi, syn. nov. An alphabetical list of Chrysops names for the Oriental and Australasian regions is given, as is a key to species and descriptions and notes for all valid taxa. A brief discussion of the biology and economic importance is provided as well as a discussion of the distribution patterns of Oriental and Australasian Tabanidae and the northern and western limits of the Oriental region, based on distribution of Tabanidae.

The nasocorine plant bug genus Campylomma Reuter from Japan and neighboring regions is reviewed. Twelve species are currently recognized. Several species, which have pale basic coloration, are rediagnosed, with emphasis on the male and female genitalia as significant taxonomic characters. Two new species, C. fukagawai and C. tanakakiana, are described and figured, and C. marjorae Schuh is reported from Japan for the first time and diagnosed. The females of three taxonomically confused species, C. eurycephala Yasunaga, C. livida Reuter and C. lividicornis Reuter, are documented in detail and figured for the first time. Female specimens of the most frequently encountered congeners, C. lividicornis Reuter and C. livida Reuter, can now be unequivocally identified. Confidently associated final-instar immatures are figured for C. aterrima Yasunaga and C. livida Reuter. Confirmed host plant associations are reported for most treated species. Campylomma chinensis [= chinense] Schuh is proposed as a junior synonym of C. livida Reuter, and C. chichijima Carvalho is regarded as nomen dubium. A checklist and a key to species are provided, which are applicable to the faunas of Japan, and of Korea, NE China the Russian Far East and Taiwan as well.

Two new species are described: Ramusella paraarcuata sp. nov. differs from Ramusella arcuata Mahunka & Mahunka-Papp, 2012 by the larger body size, lamellar setae similar in length and thickness to interlamellar setae, the presence of two or three branches on bothridial setae, and the absence of notogastral setae c. Neoribates paragracilis sp. nov. differs from Neoribates gracilis Travé, 1972 by the larger body size, and the presence of long apex (not shorter than head) on bothridial setae.

Two new species, Anafroptilum orthostylus sp. n. and Anafroptilum odontostylus sp. n. are described from Thailand based on imagoes reared from larvae. Both new species lack hind wings; larvae of both species have an unusual prominent spine near cercus apex; other characters, especially shape of male imaginal gonostyli and shape of larval tergalii, are quite diverse in these two species. The genus Anafroptilum, hitherto known from the East Palaearctic [as a single species A. kazlauskasi (Kluge 1983)] and from Nearctic [as eight species reported by Jacobus & Wiersema (2014)], is reported from Oriental Region for the first time.
