The cryptic gastropod Alva-nia scuderii Villari, 2017, recently described from the Strait of Messina as new species inside the A. scabra (Philippi, 1844) group, was known by restricted areas of eastern and southern Sicily. Some records from the type locality and south-eastern Tyrrhenian sea, which pro-vided new data on habitat and bathymetric range, also enlarged northward, in a further basin, the known ar-eal. Such areal, that over-laps a Mediterranean west-ern-eastern biogeographic boundary, may be consid-ered a further clue of an hy-drological front that is re-sponsible of a West-Mediterranean footprint more marked than in nearby North-westernmost areas.

A new species, Eucalyptus deuaensis Boland & Gilmour, is described. Its taxonomic position is in subgenus Monocalyptus, section Renantheria, series Capitellatae, following the informal classification of Pryor and Johnson (1971). The species is somewhat unusual in that it is a gum-barked 'Stringybark', i.e. its fruit and seedling morphology conform with those species normally having their trunks clothed with Stringybark. E. deuaensis is known only from the type locality, near Mongamulla Moun- tain, where the population extends over several hectares on steep rhyolitic cliffs. Analyses of the oil composition of the adult leaves were not definitive for the species, but suggested similarities with other stringbark species. The ecology, distribution, taxonomic affinities and conservation status are discussed.

In the third part of the revision of the family Metarbelidae (Lepidoptera) of South-Eastern Asia, we provide a revision of the genus Stueningeria Lehmann, 2019 with description of six new species: Stueningeria htetae sp. nov. (Type locality: Mynmar, 21 km E Putao), Stueningeria csovarii sp. nov. (Type locality: Thailand, Changwat Nan, 15 km N of Bo Luang), Stueningeria loeffleri sp. nov. (Type locality: Thailand, Sakhon Nakhon Prov., Phu Pan NP), Stueningeria ihlei sp. nov. (Type locality: Vietnam (C.), Prov. Thua-Thien-Hue, Kreis A Luoi, Gemeinde A Rong, Passastrasse ca. 30 km S A Luoi.), Stueningeria murzini sp. nov. (Type locality: China, SW Yunnan, Xishuanbanna, Guanping env., 60 km N Jinghong), and Stueningeria pinratanai sp. nov. (Type locality: NW Thailand, Chiangmai, Doi Pui Forest Res. Stat.)  Two new combinations are established: Stueningeria campbelli (Hampson, 1910) comb. nov. and Stueningeria phaga (Swinhoe, 1894) comb. nov. Both species are redescribed. The type species of the genus Stueningeria nepalensis Lehmann, 2019 is reported for the first time for the fauna of India (Uttarakhand). We also give for the first time the description of female genitalia of the genus Stueningeria. The genus distribution map is provided.

A new late Osagean (Lower Mississippian) crinoid fauna is described from the Muldraugh Member of the Borden Formation of central Kentucky. The Muldraugh Member records a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic tempestite-dominated ramp environment. This is the first report of late Osagean crinoids from this depositional setting on the eastern side of the Eastern Interior Basin of the midcontinental United States. The Muldraugh crinoid fauna contains 66 species and is dominated by advanced cladids. This fauna has similarities to other late Osagean faunas but is distinctive both in species abundance and rank order abundance of species. Eight new species are described from this fauna, includingCamptocrinus nudus, Paradichocrinus ramus, Poteriocrinites horowitzi, Parascytalocrinus pentagonus, Abrotocrinus debrae, Abrotocrinus springeri, Worthenocrinus hardinensis, andMespilocrinus myllos.

A new species of Amanita sect. Roanokenses, A. brunneofolia, from South Korea, is described based on morphological and molecular evidences. The species is characterized by medium- to large-sized basidiomata, a greenish white pileus covered with brownish, floccose pyramidal volval remnants, an appendiculate margin, reddish brown lamellae, a long radicating stipe, and ellipsoid to elongate amyloid basidiospores. Based on both nrLSU and combined dataset (nrLSU, rpb2 and tef1-α), A. brunneofolia formed a monophyletic clade and clearly separated from other Amanita species. In addition, we describe two other Amanita species in A. sect. Roanokenses, namely, A. caojizong and A. sphaerobulbosa. This is the first report of these species for South Korea.

We present molecular evidence for the presence of two species morphologically similar to Spinomantis bertini in Andohahela National Park, south-eastern Madagascar, differing by 5.5−6.3% pairwise DNA sequence divergences in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. One of these was observed at higher elevations of ca. 1650 m above sea level, whereas the other was found at lower elevations of ca. 715 m a.s.l., close to the type locality of S. bertini (Isaka-Ivondro), and in one other location (Andreoky, ca. 1050 a.s.l.). We herein assign these low- to mid-elevation specimens to S. bertini based on their occurrence near the type locality and general agreement in colour pattern with the type specimen of Gephyromantis bertini Guibé, 1947. The high-elevation form is described as Spinomantis beckei sp. nov. based on its molecular divergence and reciprocal monophyly with respect to S. bertini, lower expression of greenish dorsal colour and less distinct frenal stripe. Based on a comparison of published call descriptions for S. bertini and our recordings of S. beckei, we hypothesize that S. bertini has a lower note repetition rate in advertisement calls. Molecular data suggest that the S. bertini species complex is more diverse than previously recognized, with at least two more candidate species identified: S. sp. Ca7 from Ranomafana National Park, and a newly identified candidate species S. sp. Ca12 from Pic d’Ivohibe Special Reserve.

Diarimella laurentidae, a new species occurring on dead bark and decorticated twigs of American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.), is reported from the Muir's Wood ecological reserve, located in the centre of the Haut-Saint-Laurent region in the province of Quebec. Diarimella laurentidae is characterized by stromatic, pulvinate, black, setose fructifications composed of a basal stroma of textura angularis, a brown peripheral wall of textura porrecta, conidiomatal setae of two types, and unicellular multisetulate conidia. Its relationships with described Diarimella species is discussed. This is the first report of a species of Diarimella from North America.Key words: Diarimella laurentidae, new fungus species, coelomycete, Fagus grandifolia.
