Due to its special ways of hiding and lifestyle, Thelcticopis is a type of spider that is very difficult to collect. In 2018, we collected two huntsman spiders in Guangxi. After comparison with other Thelcticopis species, such as anterior median eye larger than other eyes, they were found to belong to the genus of Thelcticopis. Currently, four Thelcticopis species are reported from China, T. severa (L. Koch, 1875), T. zhengi Liu, Li & Jäger, 2010, T. dahanensis Zhu & Zhong, 2020 and T. unciformis Zhu & Zhong, 2020. They are mainly distributed in the tropical or subtropical areas of China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hongkong, Hunan, Taiwan, Yunnan and Zhejiang). In this paper, we diagnose and describe a new species, Thelcticopis pinmini sp. nov., which was collected from Guangxi Province, China.

Mucuna guangxiensis sp. nov. (Fabaceae), a woody liana species bearing pods up to 70 cm long, which is only known from Guangxi Province in China, is described and illustrated here. The new species is similar to Mucuna macrocarpa but differs from it by totally yellowish or greenish white corolla and more densely sericeous hairs on the abaxial surface; and also to Mucuna birdwoodiana but differs from it by the thinly papyraceous leaves, the dense indumentum on the abaxial surface of leaflets, and the longer legumes without paired robust wings at both margin. This new species should be a new member of Mucuna subg. Macrocarpa according to its long ovary, numerous seeds per legume and linear and long legumes with woody epicarp, and a detailed key of the subgenus is provided in this article.

A new species of the Dianous calceatus complex from China is described: Dianous pengi Wang, Tang &  Luo sp. n. from Guangxi Province. New distributional records are reported for Dianous calvicollis Puthz, 2016, Dianous luteostigmaticus Rougemont, 1986 and Dianous huanghaoi Tang & Li, 2011. Diagnostic characters for all the species are illustrated.

The new species Reineckea flava J. Z. Dong (Liliaceae) is described and illustrated from Guangxi, China. It differs from R. carnea (Andrews) Kunth in having slanting rhizomes with short oblate internodes (shorter axis 4–6 mm × longer axis 8–14 mm), with thick and short adventitious roots at nodes, narrowly lanceolate leaves (5–10 mm broad), and yellow-orange fruits.

The termitophilous genus Cycloxenus Arrow (Coleoptera, Euxestidae) is reported from mainland China for the first time. A new species, Cycloxenus guangxiensis sp. nov., is described from Guangxi Province, China. The new species lives in nests of a fungus-growing termite (Odontotermes sp.) where it can be collected in the fungus gardens of the termite colony. The new species is compared with its congeners and new biological information for the genus Cycloxenus is provided. An identification key to all known Cycloxenus species is also provided.

We isolated a new species, proposed here as Serendipita sacchari, from a sugarcane rhizosphere in Guangxi Province, China. This species is characterized by its unstable nucleus numbers (1–15) in its chlamydospores versus their regular distribution in hyphal cells. ITS rDNA and combined LSU+ TEF1-α sequence analyses also support the uniqueness of this new plant symbiont.

Leptobotia micra, new species, is described from the upper Li River (Pearl River basin) around Guilin in Guangxi province, southern China. The new species is evidently the smallest species of Leptobotia, with females of 45‒46 mm SL bearing oocytes. It can be distinguished from all other species of Leptobotia by a combination of the following characters: no dark bars or dorsal saddles on body, a row of white dots along dorsal midline, 4+34 vertebrae, a predorsal distance of 58.1‒59.0% SL, eye diameter 1.8‒2.0 % SL, pelvic fins not reaching anus, an emarginated caudal fin (length of median rays 1.3‒1.4 times in length of lower lobe) and the anus positioned distinctly closer to anal-fin origin than to pelvic-fin base.

A new species Coomaniella (Coomaniella) dentatasp. nov. from Guangxi Province, China, is described and placed in the C. (C.) chinensis species-group. The variability is discussed, and a new adult host plant is recorded. New distributional records are given for C. biformissima Jendek & Kalashian, 1999 and C. lingafelteri Jendek & Pham, 2013.

Rubia hangii, a new species of Rubia sect. Oligoneura from Guangxi Province, China, is described and illustrated. The placement of this species within Rubia is assessed based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis and morphological comparisons with related species. The new species is morphologically similar to R. siamensis and R. falciformis, but differs from the two taxa in having membranous to thin papery leaf blade, margins flat , slender petiole (< 1 mm wide), ovate-lanceolate stipule, triangular corolla lobes, fruit glabrous, with 1 ovule often aborted and 1 mericarp developed, rarely with 2 mericarps. Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggested that R. hangii is closely related to R. argyi and R. pallida. Rubia hangii can be easily distinguished from R. argyi and R. pallida based on leaf and stipule arrangement, leaf shape, number of principal veins, inflorescence position and flower shape.
