A list of 78 species of the tortricoid tribe Cochylini from the southern Ural Mountains is presented. The material was collected during 1996–2000 on nine different Finnish-Russian expeditions. Cochylimorpha ignicolorana Junnilainen & K. Nupponen sp. n. is described. The new taxon occurs on dry steppe slopes in the headland region of the southern Urals, and it is rather easy to separate from closely related taxa both externally and by the male genitalia. In addition, 7 species are reported as new for Europe and 4 species as new for Russia. The known distribution range of each species is given as well as further notes on some poorly known taxa.

Species Specific

The general characteristics of Thraulodes given by Traver and Edmunds (1967), is supplemented by the following: Larval labrum not always lacks median emargination, but in certain species the emargination is exposed ventrally and invisible from dorsal view; 5 denticles separated by 6 sensilla on its distal margin are initial for Ephemeroptera and present in all examined species of Thraulodes. Horseshoe row of hairs on dorsal side of glossa is characteristic for Thraulodes. Setal rows on larval femora and tibiae of fore, middle and hind legs are constant and peculiar for Thraulodes, while size and shape of the setae forming these rows is species-specific. The pair of «spears» on apices of penes represent rolls, whose canal serves as continuation of seminal duct; in course of genital development in last-instar larva, these spear-like rolls appear in the same way as tubular telopenes of Hermanellonota, that testifies about their homology. Based on this synapomorphy, Hermanellonota and Thraulodes are united into the new taxon Hermanellandria taxon n. New terms for describing coloration of subimaginal mesonotum are suggested. The following species and stages of development are described: (1) larva, subimago and ♂ imago of Th. ludmilae sp. n. from Panama; (2) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. sinuosus Mariano & Flowers 2011 from Panama; (3) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. telegraphicus Needham & Murphy 1924 from Peru; (4) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. panamensis sp. n. from Panama; (5) subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and assumed larva of Th. viviparus sp. n. from Panama; (6) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. schlingeri Traver & Edmunds 1967 from Peru; (7) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. marreroi Chacon et al. 1999 from Panama; (8) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. quevedoensis Flowers 2009 from Peru; (9) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. fascipennis sp. n. from Panama; (10) larva, subimago, ♀ imago and egg of Th. zonalis Traver & Edmunds 1967 from Panama; (11) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. flavus sp. n. from Panama; (12) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. spangleri Traver & Edmunds 1967 from Panama; (13) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. niger sp. n. from Peru; (14) subimago, ♂ imago and assumed larva of Th. nigrabdominalis sp. n. from Peru; (15) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. nigripes sp. n. from Peru; (16) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. nigrotibialis sp. n. from Peru; (17) larva, subimago, ♂ & ♀ imago and egg of Th. alboniger sp. n. from Peru; (18) larva and subimago of Th. lepidus (Eaton 1884) from Panama. Unassociated larvae under arbitrary names Thraulodes sp. «Palo Seco» and Thraulodes sp. «Itaya» are described from Panama and Peru correspondingly. Additional descriptions of larva and subimago presumably determined as Th. consortis Domínguez 1987 are given. These species are arranged into several species groups, some of which are arbitrary, and some natural, e.g., the natural group sinuosus comprising Th. sinuosus and Th. ludmilae and the natural group schlingeri comprising Th. schlingeri and Th. marreroi. Th. cryptodrylus Nieto & Dominguez 2001 is a valid species name, not a synonym of Th. lepidus. Probable ovoviviparity is reported for Th. viviparus sp. n.

The mirine plant bug genus Neolygus Knight is reported from Nepal and North India for the first time, thus representing the first confident distributional record of this genus from the Himalayas. A new species, Neolygus machanensis, is described from Nepal. Two known members, N. bui Lu & Zheng and N. keltoni (Lu & Zheng), newly recognized as occurring in Nepal and/or North India, are diagnosed. Habitus images of live individuals and illustrations of the male genitalia are provided for all treated species. A checklist of the Old World species, and discussion of the systematic position and zoogeography of Neolygus are included. Neolygus partitus (Walker, 1873) [Capsus], N. mjohjangsanicus (Josifov, 1992) [Lygocoris], and Neolygus zebei (Günther, 1997) [Lygocoris] are proposed as new combinations.

The male genitalia of the genus Metaselena Diak. are described and illustrated for the first time, and as a result of that the genus is transferred to the Olethreutinae. Eight new species of Metaselena - lepta, rhabdota, symphylos, pemphigodes, pithana, platyptera, diakonoffi and allophlebodes - are described and illustrated. The systematic position of Metaselena, so far known only from Australia and New Guinea, is briefly discussed and the close association of the genus with Eucosmomorpha Obr. is pointed out.

Salient Features

We describe a new dromaeosaurid theropod from the Upper Cretaceous Wulansuhai Formation of Bayan Mandahu, Inner Mongolia. The new taxon, Linheraptor exquisitus gen. et sp. nov., is based on an exceptionally well-preserved, nearly complete skeleton. This specimen represents the fifth dromaeosaurid taxon recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation and its laterally equivalent strata, which include the Wulansuhai Formation, and adds to the known diversity of Late Cretaceous dromaeosaurids. Linheraptor exquisitus closely resembles the recently reported Tsaagan mangas. Uniquely among dromaeosaurids, the two taxa share a large, anteriorly located maxillary fenestra and a contact between the jugal and the squamosal that excludes the postorbital from the infratemporal fenestra. These features suggest a sister-taxon relationship between L. exquisitus and T. mangas, which indicates the presence of a unique dromaeosaurid lineage in the Late Cretaceous of Asia. A number of cranial and dental features seen in L. exquisitus and T. mangas, and particularly some postcranial features of L. exquisitus, suggest that these two taxa are probably intermediate in systematic position between known basal and derived dromaeosaurids. The discovery of Linheraptor exquisitus is thus important for understanding the evolution of some salient features seen in the derived dromaeosaurids.

In the present paper we refine the systematic position of an unclear lycaenine taxon povolnyi Howarth & Povolny, 1976 previously known only from the holotype male. Based on the appearance and morphology of the male genitalia we recognize it as a subspecies of Athamanthia balucha (Howarth & Povolny 1976)—A. b. povolnyi (Howarth & Povolny, 1976), comb. nov. Morphology of the subspecies is redescribed, female is described and illustrated for the first time, and distribution data are added taking into consideration recent findings in Bamyan province of Afghanistan. Taxon athamantides Eckweiler & ten Hagen, 2001 from Central and Southeast Iran is also treated as a subspecies of A. balucha—A. b. athamantides (Eckweiler & ten Hagen, 2001), comb. nov.—based on the similarity of the male genitalia and the wing pattern with A. balucha.

A New Species

A new species of Mediapotamon Türkay & Dai, 1997 from a karst system in southwest China is described. The new species can be separated from congeners by the combination of a sharp and distinct epibranchial tooth, the anterolateral region lined with few scattered granules, the terminal segment of the male first gonopod distinctly bent with a constant diameter, and the position of the female vulvae. Mitochondrial 16S rDNA genetic data was used to investigate the systematic position of the new species, which is supported as a new taxon.

Agrotis iremeli sp. n. is described from the mountains Iremel and Nurgush in the southern Ural Mountains. Altogether 64 specimens were reared from larva and pupa in two localities during three different years. Both habitats were highly isolated mountain tundra regions at an elevation of 1300–1400 m. Also larval and pupal stages of the species are described. The moth belongs to the fatidica-group being a close relative to A. ruta (Eversmann, 1851). The new taxon differs from the latter by basally narrower, more unicolorous and dark reddish brown forewings with indistinct pattern, but also by the details in the structure of male and female genitalia. The larval stage indicates a relationship to A. clavis (Hufnagel, 1766). The adult, male and female genitalia, larval chaetotaxy, pupa and habitat are illustrated.
