An annotated list of 14 species of the genus Chlaenius Bonelli, 1810 of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China and adjacent regions is given. Five taxa are newly recorded from China: Ch. (Chlaeniellus) melampus Ménétriés, 1849, Ch. (Ch.) tenui-limbatus Ballion, 1871, Ch. (Achlaenius) tristis tristis (Schaller, 1783), Ch. (Trichochlaenius) steveni (Quensel, 1806), and Ch. (Epomis) circumscriptus (Duft-schmid, 1812). One species, Ch. (s. str.) pallipes (Gebler, 1823), is excluded from the faunal list of Xinjiang, and one species, Ch. (Ch.) nigricornis (Fabricius, 1787), is presumably included in the list. Ch. (Ch.) chrysothorax Krynitzky, 1832 is considered as distinct species, not as subspecies of Ch. kindermanni Chaudoir, 1856. A new synonymy is established: Chlaenius chrysothorax Krynitzky, 1832 = Chlaenius chloodes Andrewes, 1935, syn. n. Chlaenius tristis is trans¬ferred to the subgenus Achlaenius Mandl, 1992 from the subgenus Chlaeniellus Reitter, 1908 on the base of structure of the apical gonocoxite. The re-description of the poorly known Ch. (Chlaeniellus) semenowi Tschitschérine, 1896 is given; its type locality is clarified. The similarity of Ch. (Trichochlaenius) steveni with Ch. (Eochlaenius) suvorovi (Semenov, 1912) is shown based on the structure of the apical gonocoxite. A key to species of the genus Chlaenius from Xinjiang is compiled.

An annotated list of 19 species of Hylaeus collected by the famous Russian explorers and travellers V.I. Roborovsky and P.K. Kozlov in Northwest China (1895–1926) is given. Hylaeus (Hylaeus) roborovskyi Proshchalykin & Dathe, sp. nov. is described as new from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The following eight known species are newly recorded from China: Hylaeus angustatus (Schenck, 1861), H. arenarius Morawitz, 1876, H. breviceps Morawitz, 1876, H. communis Nylander, 1852, H. fedtschenkoi (Cockerell, 1906), H. pallidicornis Morawitz, 1876, H. pesenkoi Proshchalykin & Dathe, 2016, and H. vulgaris Morawitz, 1876, increasing the number of species reported from the region to 48. New synonymy is established for Hylaeus tsingtauensis (Strand, 1915) = H. montivagus Dathe, 1986, syn. nov.

New collections of Teratoscincus from China and reexamination of type specimens in the Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, reveal that T. roborowskii Bedriaga, «1905» (1906), is a valid species. The type locality given by Bedriaga is in error and is here corrected to the Turpan Depression, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China where the species is endemic. Two additional species inhabit China, T. przewalskii (in the Taklimakan Desert, Hami Depression, Junggar Depression, and part of the Gobi Desert of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and adjacent provinces) and T. scincus (in the Ili River Valley of extreme western Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region).

New Synonym

The paper deals with the taxonomy of two species of the subgenus Trachycarabus Géhin, 1876 of the genus Carabus Linnaeus, 1758, occurring in the Altay Mountains in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China: C. (T.) mandibularis Fischer von Waldheim, 1828 and C. (T.) sibiricus Fischer von Waldheim, 1820. A new subspecies, C. (T.) mandibularis abakkereiorum subsp. nov. is described from the Kran River Valley near Altay City. A new synonym is proposed: C. (T.) sibiricus obliteratus Fischer von Waldheim, 1828 = C. (T.) s. pseudobliteratus Korell et Kleinfeld, 1982, syn. nov. A key to the Trachycarabus species currently known from Xinjiang is given.

AbstractIn 2016, remains of a ground-level Buddhist temple complex were found in the middle of the west zone of the Tuyoq caves in Shanshan (Piqan) County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This Buddhist temple complex consisted of the Buddha hall, dorms for monks, and storage facilities. In the Buddha hall, many murals of bodhisattvas, devas, and donors were found, and artifacts such as household utensils made of clay, wooden architectural components, textiles, and manuscript fragments were unearthed. The date of this Buddhist temple complex was the Qocho Uyghurs kingdom from the latter half of the tenth century to the latter half of the fourteenth century; the excavation is very important for understanding the distribution of the construction centers and the iconographical composition of the Buddhist cave temples and monasteries in the Qocho Uyghurs kingdom period.

New Synonymy

The genus Nirmides Hering, 1931 is revised. Nowadays it includes 17 species, known from Thailand, Vietnam and the Andamans to the Philippines. Eight species are described as new to science: N. siamasp. n. (Thailand), N. ihleisp. n. (Thailand), N. dianasp. n. (Andaman Islands), N. samaressp. n. (Philippines, Samar), N. lourensisp. n. (Philippines, Luzon), N. similissp. n. (Philippines, Mindanao), N. kanlaonensissp. n. (Philippines, Negros), and N. hollowayisp. n. (Borneo). Lectotypes are designated for Susica basalis Walker, 1862 and Nirmides basalis f. fusca Hering, 1931. The taxon Nirma micron van Eecke, 1929 is removed from synonymy with Nirmides basalis (Walker, 1862) and restored to a separate species. A new synonymy is proposed: Nirmides micron (van Eecke, 1929) = Nirmides manwahi Holloway, 1990, syn. n. The homology of the sclerites of the male genitalia is discussed; the musculature of the male genitalia is examined. A key to species is given.

AbstractThe species of Synophromorpha Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) are reviewed. One new species is described (Synophromorpha kaulbarsi; type locality: Naupan, Puebla, Mexico). The previously described species (S. rubi Weld, S. sylvestris (O.S.), and S. terricola Weld) are redescribed, and a key to species is presented. All species are illustrated for the first time. Synophromorpha sylvestris is designated type-species for the genus and a lectotype is chosen. Hypotheses on the phylogenetic relationships between the species of Synophromorpha are presented.
