In connection with a general taxonomic study of the resupinate Thelephoraceae of Canada, a number of forms have been encountered that appear to be undescribed. In this contribution nine such forms falling in the genus Peniophora are described and illustrated as probable new species.

The cornigera species group of the genus Promalactis Meyrick, 1908 is proposed based on the forewing patterns. Species of this group are characterized by the forewing with the costal and ventral areas densely covered with dark scales forming ill-defined dark bands along the basal 2/5 to 3/4, respectively, and the dorsum with two pale parallel streaks. Six new species are described: P. albipectinalis sp. nov., P. flavidilineata sp. nov., P. grandaedeaga sp. nov., P. malipoensis sp. nov. and P. voluta sp. nov are from China, and P. latignatha sp. nov. is from Thailand. Photographs of adults and genitalia of the new species are provided.

This work deals with haplosclerid sponges off the coast of Maranhão State, northeastern coast of Brazilian shelf (southwestern Atlantic). A new species is described, Haliclona (Halichoclona) lernerae. Four species are recorded for the first time for the Brazilian coast: Amphimedon caribica (Pulitzer-Finali, 1986); Niphates lutea Lehnert & Van Soest, 1999; Neopetrosia subtriangularis (Duchassaing, 1850) and Petrosia (Petrosia) weinbergi Van Soest, 1980. Three species were recollected from the southwestern Atlantic and have their geographic distribution extended on the Brazilian coast: Callyspongia (Cladochalina) vaginalis (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864), Oceanapia bartschi (De Laubenfels, 1934) and Xestospongia muta (Schmidt, 1870). Two species were collected for the first time from the Maranhão State Coast: Niphates erecta Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 and Neopetrosia proxima (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864). A taxonomic study of those samples is given, including description, illustrations and geographic distribution.

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella Linnaeus, is well known as a pest of honey bees and for the biodegradation of wax and polyethylene by their larvae. The genus Galleria has long been considered monotypic and found worldwide. A taxonomic study of the genus Galleria is presented based on morphological and molecular characters (COI, CAD, wg). A new species (Galleria similis Roh & Song, sp. nov.) is recognized on the Korean peninsula. The new species is superficially similar to G. mellonella but they can be separated by the structures of hindwing venation and male genitalia. Habitus photographs and illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided.

The ten species of the genus Lateantenna Amsel, 1968 known from China are reviewed. Four new species are described: L. semicircularis sp. n. and L. zhejiangensis sp. n. from Zhejiang, L. lunata sp. n. from Yunnan and Hainan, and L. triangulata sp. n. from Yunnan. Lateantenna eurotella (Adamski, 2010) and L. ianella (Adamski, 2003) are newly recorded for China. The females of L. camelliae (Chen & Wu, 2013) and L. ianella (Adamski, 2003) are described for the first time. Photographs of adults and genitalia are provided. Based on male genitalia, a key to the species of Mainland China is provided. Two maps showing the distribution of these species are also included.

This is the first detailed taxonomic study of the genus Navicula in the Krasnodar Territory of the Caucasus region, Russia. During the study of the genus in waterbodies of the Adegoy River valley 15 taxa were recorded. Two species, N. adegoyensis sp. nov. and N. pseudocryptofallax sp. nov., are described as new to science. Their morphology is studied by light and scanning electron microscopy, and comparisons with morphologically similar species are provided. The use of the name N. avenacea for N. lanceolata sensu auct. is discussed. Navicula diversity was higher in the Adegoy River than in pools elsewhere in the river valley.
