AbstractSiculaphis vittoriensis gen.nov., sp.nov., Myzocallis (Hoplocallis) microsiphon sp.nov., and M. (Agrioaphis) cocciferina sp.nov. are described. The new taxa have a Mediterranean distribution, and Quercus calliprinos Webb is their main host. Accounts are given of their morphology, taxonomic position, and ecology. A key is presented for the four species in the subgenus Hoplocallis.

Taphioporus gen. n. with the type species T. balticus sp. n. and the new species, Colaspoides eocenicus sp. n., from Baltic amber are described. The distinctness of the new genus makes the former definitions of the tribes Euryopini Lefèvre, 1885 and Typophorini Baly, 1865 problematic because the presence or absence of the preapical emargination on the meso- and metatibiae is the only distinguishing character.

Three new species of chewing lice of the Penenirmus-complex (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) are described and illustrated from woodpeckers (Picidae) and barbets (Megalaimidae) occurring in China. They are: Picophilopterus blythipici new species from Blythipicus pyrrhotis sinensis (Rickett, 1897), Laimoloima ruiliensis new genus, new species from Psilopogon asiaticus asiaticus (Latham, 1790), and Laimoloima tandani new genus, new species from Psilopogon virens virens (Boddaert, 1783). In addition, we provide illustrations of Picophilopterus pici sensu lato ex Picus canus sordidior (Rippon, 1906), and we present evidence that justifies resurrecting the genus Picophilopterus Ansari, 1947 to include the species infesting woodpeckers and Neotropical barbets (Capitonidae). Also, we erect the new genus Laimoloima to include the species from Asian barbets (Megalaimidae). The taxonomic position of Penenirmus species from African barbets (Lybiidae) and honeyguides (Indicatoridae) is unresolved. An updated checklist of the species in the Penenirmus-complex parasitic on non-passeriform hosts is provided, including species of the genus Turnicola Clay & Meinertzhagen, 1938.

For long time the age of Burmese amber was debatable. Recently this material was finally dated as Late Albian-Early Cenomanian. We describe herein three new species of psychodid sandflies (Phlebotomites grimaldii,P. neli, andP. burmaticus) belonging to the extinct genusPhlebotomites, known to date only from the Early Cretaceous amber of Lebanon. These new taxa are characterized, described, illustrated and their taxonomic position is discussed. This discovery is very interesting for the understanding of the evolution of this group, as it allows concluding that this extinct genus of sand flies was widespread and well diversified in the past, and lasted at least for thirty million years.

The taxonomic position of some of the Binna-like species of Afrotropical Spilosoma Curtis (1825) and Radiarctia Dubatolov (2006) are reviewed. Historical and current problems associated with determining taxa by comparison with old or faded type material are highlighted. A new genus Pseudoradiarctia is established for P. rhodesiana comb. nov., P. lentifasciata comb. nov., P. affinis comb. nov., and P. scita comb. nov. A new rank is proposed for and subspecies is described in Radiarctia screabile, and three new species are described in Pseudoradiarctia. R. screabile (Wallengren) and Binna penicillata Walker (1866) are redescribed. Lectotypes are designated for rhodesiana, lentifasciata, affinis and scita. Notes on a defence mechanism of screabile are presented.

Shield-backed katydids of tribe Arytropteridini Caudell, 1908 are recorded for the first time in Madagascar. The new genus Toliaridectes n. gen. is proposed to include three new species from the south west of the island: Toliaridectes meridionalis n. gen. n. sp., Toliaridectes wendenbaumi n. gen. n. sp. and Toliaridectes antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp.. Elements of biology of Toliaridectes n. gen. are given and the call of Toliaridectes antsycurvis n. gen. n. sp. is described. The taxonomic position of Arytropteridini is discussed.

Three new species of Anthaxia Eschscholtz, 1829 endemic to Iran, Anthaxia (Anthaxia) magnanii n. sp., Anthaxia (Hap- lanthaxia) mannaea n. sp. and Anthaxia (Cratomerus) meda n. sp., along with the creation of the Anthaxia parvula species-group, are proposed and illustrated. The new taxa are compared to their most similar species and data about their distribution, bionomy and taxonomic position are given, together with a short definition of the new species-group.

A new genus, Sigmaboilus gen. nov., is established and attributed to Aboilinae (Insecta, Orthoptera, Prophalangopsidae). It includes three new species, Sigmaboilus gorochovi sp. nov., S. sinensis sp. nov., and S. longus sp. nov., from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou in Inner Mongolia, China, and is distinguished from other genera within Aboilinae by the remarkably long C vein in the tegmen.

The following new taxa are described from the Philippines: Mioscarta nubisa Crispolon & Soulier-Perkins sp. nov., M. translucida Crispolon & Yap sp. nov. and Trigonoschema Crispolon & Soulier-Perkins gen. nov. with three new species: T. manoborum Crispolon & Soulier-Perkins sp. nov. (as type species), T. negrosensis Crispolon & Yap sp. nov and T. rubercella Crispolon & Guilbert sp. nov. Trigonoschema pallida (Lallemand, 1927) comb. nov. is transferred from Mioscarta Breddin, 1901. Descriptions of male genitalia are illustrated and keys to species of Philippine Mioscarta and Trigonoschema gen. nov. are provided. Although phylogenetic results confirm the monophyly of all genera and Trigonoschema being a distinct genus from Mioscarta, relationships between genera remain uncertain. A checklist of the genera and species of Cercopidae found in the Philippines is included.

The genus Sibuyanella Obenberger, 1942, is resurrected from synonymy under Obenbergerula Strand, 1932 and S. boudanti, sp. nov. from Bohol Island, and S. mimica, sp. nov. from Boac and Mindoro islands, are described. A second species of Philippscelus Bellamy, 1998, P. panayensis, sp. nov. is described from Panay Island, Philippines. Lumawigia gibbicephala, gen. & sp. nov. is described from Luzon Island. Three new species of Brachycoraebus Kerremans, 1903: B. mindanaoensis, B. basilanensis and B. minutus, are described. New distribution records are given for Coraebosoma manilense Obenberger, 1923 and C. samarense Bellamy, 1990. Two justified emendations: Philippscelus Bellamy, 1998 and Amorphosomatina Majer, 2000 are given. All new taxa are illustrated and keys to the species of Sibuyanella and Philippine Brachycoraebus are given.Key words: Taxonomy, new genus, new species, justified emendation, Coleoptera, Buprestidae, Coraebini, Philippines
