The new genus Lathrapanteles is erected for Sathon papaipemae (Muesebeck) and three new species, L. ampyx (type locality, Cali, Colombia), L. fuscus (type locality, Notre Dame du Portage, Québec), and L. heleios (type locality, Mer Bleue, Ottawa, Ontario). The genus and species are described from cocoons, adult and larval structure, and distribution. Host-dependent variability in the first tergum of the metasoma of L. papaipemae n. comb. is discussed. A key to species and reconstructed phylogeny are given for Lathrapanteles. Placement of the genus in the Cotesiini and its effect on microgastrine classification is discussed.

The new genus Huangilene Volynkin & Černý, gen. n. is erected for the Miltochrista alikangiae (Strand, 1917) species-group with Lyclene kepica Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2013 as the type species. Three new species are described: H. odontotilepida Volynkin & Černý, sp. n. (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos), H. kutzscheri Volynkin & Černý, sp. n. (continental China and Taiwan Isl.) and H. apoklinousa Volynkin & Černý, sp. n. (Vietnam). Four new combinations are established: Huangilene kepica (Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2013), comb. n., H. pseudolutara (N. Singh & Kirti, 2016), comb. n., H. alikangiae alikangiae (Strand, 1917), comb. n. H. alikangiae intermedia (Marumo, 1923), comb. n. The lectotype is designated for Asura obsoleta Form alikangiae Strand, 1917, the species’ type locality is fixed as “Karapin” (Taiwan, Chiayi County, Chaoliping).

The new delphacid genus Akemetopon gen. n. (Delphacinae: Delphacini) is described and illustrated with 3 new species from Arizona and Mexico: Akemetopon inornatum sp. n., A. politum sp. n., and A. ainigma sp. n. A key to species is provided. The barcoding portion of the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) was sequenced for A. politum sp. n. A maximum likelihood analysis places this genus in the basal Delphacini.

The article contains the description of a new genus, Davidlivingstonia Yakovlev & László, gen. nov. (Type species Zeuzera boisduvalii Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) and three new species: D. staudei Yakovlev & László, spec. nov. (Type locality: Zambia: Samfia, Mukushi, reg. Liubwe), D. prozorovi Yakovlev & László, spec. nov. (Type locality: Congo Belge, Congo River), and D. lenzi Yakovlev & László, spec. nov.

Two new genera of flea beetles are described and illustrated: Brasilplatus Oliveira, Linzmeier & Konstantinov new genus, monotypic, type species B. bahianus Oliveira, Linzmeier & Konstantinov new species, and Tupiniquim Linzmeier, Oliveira & Konstantinov new genus, containing two species, T. pronotalis Linzmeier, Oliveira & Konstantinov new species and T. confusa Linzmeier, Oliveira & Konstantinov new species and type species of the genus. These are the first described genera of flea beetles inhabiting leaf litter in Brazil. Brasilplatus belongs to the subtribe Monoplatina and is compared to other Monoplatina genera known to occur in leaf litter or moss cushions: Andersonaltica Linzmeier & Konstantinov, 2012, Apleuraltica Bechyné, 1956 and Ulrica Scherer, 1962. Tupiniquim is unique among New World flea beetles, it allies cannot be immediately identified. Here it is compared to several New World and Old World genera.

The new genus Neobruchidius is described principally because of the single spine near the apex of the hind femur of all ten species. This and other characters differentiate it from other genera in the New World and ally it to the Old World genus Bruchidius, hence the name. Seven of the ten species of Neobruchidius were all originally described in the genus Acanthoscelides by Johnson and one is the new species Neobruchidius lovie. The nine species are Neobruchidius barinas, N. canar, N. curimagua, N. guatemala, N. lituratus, (Sharp), N. macheta, N. tabidus (Erichson), N. tibiospinalis, and N. zacatlan. A discussion of the genus is provided as is a key to species, and some comments on allometry in adult bruchids due to seed size of their hosts. Neobruchidius lovie differs from species in the genus Sennius principally by lacking hinge sclerites in the median lobe of the male genitalia and with a mucro on the apex of the hind tibia that is much shorter than 0.25 times as long as the first hind tarsomere. Most species of Sennius lack a mucro or almost so.

AbstractThe genus Synosis Townes, 1959 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Metopiinae) currently comprises 18 described species. A redescription of the genus is presented and three new species are described and illustrated: S. diaguita new species, S. nigra new species, and S. zezei new species. Two previously known species, Synosis rubinus Alvarado and Rodriguez-Berrios, 2013 and S. townesi Alvarado and Rodriguez-Berrios, 2013 are recorded for the first time in Ecuador. The genus is recorded for the first time for Ecuador and Argentina. An identification key to the New World species is presented.
