AbstractA new species of Forcipomyia from Singapore is described in all stages. Although the female adult could be placed in Lepidohelea Kieffer (1917) by the possession of scales in addition to bristles and hairs, the male genitalia are distinctive. A new subgenus, Schizoforcipomyia, is erected to accommodate this species whose larva has a bilobed anal pseudopod and whose male genitalia are intermediate between Forcipomyia s. str. and Proforcipomyia.

A group of 15 species from the genus Euphylidorea (Alexander, 1972) is identified based on distinct morphology and described as the new subgenus Neophylidorea. Characters of the aedeagus and male genitalia in general allow for unequivocal recognition of this subgenus. Comparisons among other species-groups within Euphylidorea and Neophylidorea subgen. n. Petersen are made. A new species, Neophylidorea vannimwegeni Petersen is described based on two male specimens collected in Michigan, USA. This species can be distinguished by the unique structure of the ventral parameres in the male hypopygium.

In this paper we describe the new subgenus Baeticoharpalus Serrano & Lencina and a new species Harpalus (Baeticoharpalus) lopezi Serrano & Lencina, based on a unique character combination that includes the pubescence of temples, frons, pronotum and elytra, the lack of mentum tooth, the shape of mouth parts and the male genitalia. The new taxon was collected in Sierra Morena (Pico de Almadén, central Betic Mountains, south Spain) and is geographically isolated from related taxa. Distribution data suggest that this is a relict species. The taxonomic position of the new taxon is discussed in relation to the other Iberian subgenera of Harpalus and the related genera Pangus, Pseudoophonus, Ophonus, etc. A key to Iberian Harpalus and related taxa is included; it illustrates the abundance of homoplasic characters within these taxa and the difficulties to develop a ‘natural’ key for identifying them.

The Palaearctic species of the genus Trichardis Hermann, 1906 are reviewed. A new species, T. lehri sp. nov., is described. A new synonymy is established: T. leucocoma (van der Wulp, 1899) = T. afanasievae Lehr, 1964, syn. nov. The male of T. mongolica V. Richter, 1972 is described for the first time. External features and the male genitalia of T. lehri sp. nov., T. leucocoma (van der Wulp, 1899) and T. mongolica V. Richter, 1972 are illustrated with photographs.

Abstract Culex longitubus Somboon, Namgay & Harbach is described as a new species of the Mimeticus Subgroup of the subgenus Culex. The larva is most similar to the larva of Cx. tianpingensis Chen from China, but is distinguished by the length of the siphon and the anal papillae, the form of the comb scales and pecten spines, and the development of setae 7-P, 13-T, 1-X, and 4-X. The adults have wing markings and male genitalia similar to those of species of the Mimeticus Complex. Phylogenetic analysis of COI sequences revealed that the new species is closely related to Cx. murrelli Lien of the Mimulus Complex. The immature stages of the new species were found in stagnant pools and marshes at high altitudes in several districts of Bhutan.

Golinca trevisani Valois & Silva, new species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Trichiini: Incina) from Ouro Preto do Oeste, Rondônia, and Amazonas, Brazil is described, representing the first record of the genus Golinca for Brazil. Diagnosis, illustrations of key morphological characters, the first male genitalia description in the genus, and a key for identification of four species of Golinca are provided.

Parapteronemobius contains 7 species or subspecies distributed in East Asia with only one species recorded from China. In this study, we reported the second species, P. chenggong He sp. nov., from Zhejiang. The new species differs from P. dibrachiatus in body size, male genitalia and COI gene. The phylogeny of this genus in subfamily Nemobiinae are discussed based on COI, 18S and 28S genes. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

A new, and only the third known species of the Neotropical montane genus Oressinoma Doubleday is described—O. sorina n. sp., from the Andes of central Peru. It is distinguishable immediately from the other two congeners by the shape of the hindwing underside submarginal orange band, and by the male genitalia. The systematics of Oressinoma are reviewed. A preliminary analysis is carried out based on COI barcode confirming the separate specific status of O. sorina n. sp. in relation to other two congeners. Both barcode and genital morphology data suggest that the widespread O. typhla Doubleday may be a complex of allopatric or, locally parapatric species. The genus Oressinoma is the only neotropical member of the predominantly Australian subtribe Coenonymphina, represented in the entire Holarctic by one genus only—Coenonympha Hübner, considered as the putative sister-genus of Oressinoma. Their origins and relationships are briefly discussed.

The genus Parapentacentrus Shiraki, 1930 includes two species with long wings. In this paper, we report one new species, P. brevipennis He sp. nov., from Jinping, Yunnan, China. The new species have short forewings and hindwings, and have differences in the shape of supra-anal plate and male genitalia. DNA Barcode (COI gene) of this new species are provided. The type specimens are deposited in Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

A new species, T. yaolihuoi Huang, Jiang & Song sp. nov. of the genus Teratozephyrus Sibatani, 1946 is described from southeastern China. Among the other representatives of the genus, the new species resembles only T. hinomaru Fujioka, 1994 from southwestern China, from which the new species can be separated easily by examining details in both wing pattern and the male genitalia. Wing patterns and genitalia of the new species and T. hinomaru are illustrated and compared.
