The status of the genus Neorthostigma Belokobylskij, 1998 is re-established as a result of additional morphological studies. A new species, N. braetisp. nov., from Papua New Guinea is described and illustrated. Aspilota brachyclypeataFischer 1978 is transferred to Neorthostigma, hence N. brachyclypeata (Fischer, 1978), comb. nov. A new synonym is suggested, Aspilota macrops Stelfox & Graham, 1951 = Neorthostigma eoum Belokobylskij, 1998, syn. nov.; A. macrops is transferred to Neorthostigma. This genus is additionally recorded in the Western Palaearctic (Norway) and Australasian (Papua New Guinea) regions for the first time. A key for the determination of the three known species of Neorthostigma is provided.

Gressitocorishenryi (Deraeocorinae, Deraeocorini) is described as a new species on the basis of the female holotype from Syoubri vill(age), Arfak Mounts, Doberai Peninsula, Papua Barat, Indonesia. Additional data on distribution are provided for 17 species of Cylapinae, Deraeocorinae, Mirinae, Orthotylinae and Phylinae. Trigonotylustenuis is cited for the first time from Papua New Guinea.

A new subspecies, Eucyclops birmanus aequatorialis ssp. nov., is described from Papua, New Guinea; Mesocyclops pehpeiensis, known from China, is recorded from Burma, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia; and a new species, Mesocyclops restrictus sp. nov., is described from Burma. Based on abundant material from Costa Rica, the status of Diaptomus dorsalis Marsh is reexamined.

Abstract:Phylloblastia inexpectata Sérus., Coppins & Lücking is a newly described foliicolous lichen, known from England, Scotland, Southern Italy and Madeira. It is distinguished from similar and related species by the absence of isidia and the smaller size of its ascospores. Phylloblastia pocsii is reported from Papua New Guinea for the first time.

A new subgenus, Walaphylliumsubgen. nov., is described within Phyllium Illiger, 1798 to accommodate three leaf insect species. One of the species included is newly described herein as Phyllium (Walaphyllium) lelantossp. nov. from Papua New Guinea. This new subgenus of Phyllium can be diagnosed by a following combination of features. This new species is compared to the two additional new subgenus members, Phyllium zomproi Größer, 2001 and Phyllium monteithi Brock & Hasenpusch, 2003. Also for the first time the male morphology of Phyllium zomproi is described and illustrated. To conclude, a brief biogeographical view of the leaf insects on either side of the Torres Strait is presented, as well as a key to species and a distribution map to the known species of Phyllium (Walaphyllium)subgen. nov.

Morphological studies of Lechenaultia filiformis R.Br. have determined that more than one taxon is presently included under that name. We here recognise the suite of disjunct populations from north-east Queensland, north-east Northern Territory, New Guinea and the Moluccas as a new species, Lechenaultia peregrina R.W.Jobson & R.L.Barrett. This is the third tropical species of Lechenaultia currently recognised, however further studies are required to assess the status of about five additional entities in the Northern Territory and Western Australia currently included in L. filiformis s.l. Seed article morphology is critical for species delimitation in tropical Lechenaultia, but seed articles are often absent from collections, or only immature, as they fall quickly once ripe.

The status and differentiation of the genera Ceratopogon, Brachypogon and Isohelea have remained uncertain despite repeated attempts at clarification. In 1964 Tokunaga described five species of Ceratopogon from Papua New Guinea, treating Brachypogon and Isohelea as synonyms of Ceratopogon. Wirth & Grogan (1988) determined that Ceratopogon was a purely Holarctic genus, and listed four of Tokunaga's species in Brachypogon, which they regarded as a genus with two subgenera, Brachypogon s.s. and Isohelea. (The fifth species was transferred to another genus, Nannohelea.) No species of the Ceratopogon group have been described from Australia. In this paper 24 species, 20 of which are new, are recorded from Australia and New Guinea. Seventeen of the new species — B. artemis, B. bryanae, B. corniger, B. medusae, B. bifurcus, B. pollices, B. tabernaculum, B. gearyae, B. hercules, B. subiectus, B. gravidus, B. idolon, B. lorica, B. curtus, B. institor, B. griffithsae and B. nicolaii — and two of Tokunaga's species, B. petersi and B. novaguineae, are placed in Brachypogon (Brachypogon), in two species-groups. Two of the new species, B. hadrosaurus and B. dehiscens, are placed in Brachypogon (Isohelea), while B. alexandros, sp. nov. and Tokunaga's B. maai and B. papuensis are placed in a new subgenus of Brachypogon, Sarissohelea. Detailed diagnoses of the subgenera are given, and the pupae of Brachypogon (Brachypogon) species are described for the first time.

A new species and eight new subspecies of Papilionoidea discovered in Vietnam between 2002 and 2020 are described and illustrated. The status of two taxa are revised. New taxa include Pieridae: Delias sanaca bidoupa Monastyrskii & Vu subspec. nov. and Talbotia naganum aurelia Monastyrskii & Vu subspec. nov.; Nymphalidae: Abrota ganga pulcheria Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Bassarona recta consonensis Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Pantoporia bieti aurantina Monastyrskii & To subspec. nov.; Ragadia latifasciata cristata Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Ragadia latifasciata crystallina Monastyrskii & Vu, subspec. nov.; Faunis indistincta luctus Monastyrskii & Vu subspec. nov. & Aemona gialaica Monastyrskii, K. Saito & Vu, spec. nov. The taxon infuscata Devyatkin & Monastyrskii, previously described as the subspecies Aemona tonkinensis infuscata, was elevated to the species level, while the taxon critias (Ragadia critias Riley & Godfrey) was reduced to a subspecies. Three Satyrinae species were recorded from Vietnam for the first time: Palaeonympha opalina Butler, 1871; Ypthima motschulskyi Bremer & Grey, 1853; and Ragadia latifasciata Leech, 1891.
