The revised tiliarum species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is defined by the presence of setae Z1, S2, S4, and S5 as well as J2, J5, Z4, and Z5 on the opisthoscutum, excluding sublateral seta R1 which may or may not be inserted on the opisthoscutum. The chaetotaxy on the opisthoscutum of the revised tiliarum group is identical with that of the australicus (in part) and simplex groups. However, the tiliarum group is distinguished from the former by the absence of seta z6 on the podoscutum and from the latter by differences in the nature of the peritreme and of the setae on the dorsal shield and by the shape of the ventrianal shield. The original tiliarum group included only 3 species whereas the revised group comprises 26 species, including one new species: T. comptus Corpuz, Typhlodromus crassipilis (Athias-Henriot and Fauvel) comb, nov., T. aceri Collyer, T. tuberculatus Wainstein, Typhlodromus runiacus (Kolodochka) comb, nov., T. transitans Gupta, T. tiliarum Oudemans, T. perforatus Athias-Henriot, Typhlodromus carmeli (Rivnay and Swirski) comb, nov., Typhlodromus montforti (Rivnay and Swirski) comb. nov., T. elisae Schicha and McMurtry, T. spaini Collyer, T. cassiniae Collyer, T. steveni Schicha, T. myopori Collyer, T. steeli Schicha and McMurtry, T. cottieri Collyer, T. dachanti Collyer, T. novaezealandiae Collyer, T. manukae Collyer, T. glenfieldensis Schicha, T. oleariae Collyer, T. corrugatus Schicha, Typhlodromus ashleyae sp.nov., T. armidalensis Schicha and Elshafie, and T. nesbitti Womersley. Heteroseiulus aceris Lehman is synonymized with T. aceri, Typhloctonus prunus Denmark and Rather with T. transitans, and Seiulus sexapori Karg and Edland with T. tuberculatus. Shiehia multispinosa Tseng and Typhloctonus vollsella Chaudhri are proposed provisionally as junior synonyms of T. comptus and T. transitans, respectively. Four genera, Neoseiulella Muma, Typhloctonus Muma, Pegodromus Athias-Henriot and Fauvel, and Heteroseiulus Lehman are designated as new junior synonyms of the genus Typhlodromus and one genus, Shiehia Tseng, as a provisional junior synonym. Most species in this group are recorded from temperate climates; 16 of the 26 recorded species are limited to the Australian faunal region. Various generic concepts relating to the species in the tiliarum group are reviewed and the general characters of the group are described. A key, descriptions, and illustrations for adult females of each species are provided.

A revised pomi species group is proposed, with Typhlodromus pomi (Parrott, Hodgkiss &Shoene) as the exemplar. The group is characterized by the presence of seta R1 on the opisthoscutum of adult females and it is composed of 16 species, including 2 new species: Typhlodromus bromus (Denmark) comb, nov., T. eiko E1 Banhawy, T. flumenis Chant, T. herbertae Nesbitt, T. juniperi De Leon, T. juniperoides (De Leon) comb. nov., T. lindquisti n. sp., T. mexicanus (Muma) comb. nov., T. negundinis (Denmark) comb, nov., T. nelsoni Chant, T. pomi (Parrott, Hodgkiss &Shoene), T. pomoides Schuster and Pritchard, T. tuttlei (Denmark) comb, nov., T. validus Chant, T. paraflumenis n. sp., and T. pedoni Zaher and Shehata. Typhlodromus pomoides is reinstated as separate from T. herbertae, and Galendromus deleoni Tuttle and Muma is designated as a junior synonym of T. juniperi. Various generic concepts relating to the species in the pomi group are reviewed, the group is described, and a key to adult females and descriptions of each species are provided.

One New Species

The geminia and semiobsoleta groups of the genus Cyphura Warren, 1902 (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) are revised. Five new species are described. There are four new species in the geminia species group: Cyphura pallidata sp. n., C. marcoi sp. n., C. aruensis sp. n., and C. numforensis sp. n. In this group, a lectotype is designated for Strophidia costalis Butler, 1887, C. subsimilis Warren, 1902, S. bifasciata Butler, 1879, C. catenulata Warren, 1902, Urapteroides approximans Swinhoe, 1902, U. falka Swinhoe, 1916, U. swinhoei Rothschild, 1915 and for U. swinhoei Joicey & Kaye, 1917. Six new synonyms are proposed: U. gutturalis (Swinhoe, 1916) is a junior synonym of C. geminia (Cramer, 1779), C. subsimilis Warren, 1902 is a junior synonym of C. costalis (Butler, 1887), C. catenulata Warren, 1902 and U. approximans (Swinhoe, 1902) are both junior synonyms of C. bifasciata (Butler, 1879), U. falka (Swinhoe, 1916) is a junior synonym of C. pieridaria Warren, 1902 and U. swinhoei (Joicey & Kaye, 1917) is a junior synonym of C. maxima (Strand, 1912). Urapteroides swinhoei Rothschild, 1915 is transferred to Cyphura as Cyphura swinhoei (Rothschild, 1915) comb. n. In the semiobsoleta species group, one new species is described: C. trifasciata sp. n. In this group a lectotype is designated for Urapteroides semiobsoleta Warren, 1896, U. semiobsoleta reducta Joicey & Talbot 1916, C. multistrigaria Warren, 1907 and for C. multistrigaria ab. dealbata Warren, 1907.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.

One New Species

A review of the Afrotropical sesiid genus Camaegeria Strand, 1914 (Synanthedonini), which previously comprised onlya single species, C. auripicta Strand, 1914, is presented. Based on its genital morphology Camaegeria seems most closelyrelated to Episannina Aurivillius, 1905, which also occurs in Africa and is placed here in Synanthedonini. Differentialcharacters between Camaegeria, Episannina and the superficially similar Tipulamima Holland, 1893, are discussed. Sixspecies are transferred from other sesiid genera to Camaegeria: C. aristura (Meyrick, 1931) n. comb., C. exochiformis(Walker, 1856) n. comb., C. monogama (Meyrick, 1932) n. comb., C. sophax (Druce, 1899) n. comb., C. sylvestralis(Viette, [1955]) n. comb. and C. xanthopimplaeformis (Viette, [1955]) n. comb. One new species, Camaegeria massai n.sp. is described from eastern Africa and four new species, C. lychnitis, C. polytelis, C. viettei and C. xanthomos n. spp.are described from Madagascar. New junior synonyms of Camaegeria aristura are Aegeria leptomorpha Meyrick, 1931n. syn. and Aegeria hadassa Meyrick, 1932 n. syn., and a new junior synonym of C. monogama is Macrotarsipus lioscelis Meyrick, 1935 n. syn.
