Two new species of the millipede genus Anamastigona are described, A. cypria sp. nov. and A. strasseri sp. nov., both from the island of Cyprus. The new species are considered to be most similar to A. terraesanctae Golovatch & Makarov, 2011 from Israel, the three of them forming a species group which is briefly characterized. An updated key to all 20 recognized species of the genus Anamastigona is provided and a short overview of the taxonomy of the genus is given.

AbstractInsects in the subfamily Ischnorhininae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cercopidae), known as spittlebugs or froghoppers, are mainly distributed in the Neotropical region. A few genera include pest species of economic relevance, including Prosapia Fennah, 1949. Two new species from Mexico and Costa Rica are now described for this genus, and a key to species is proposed for the P. inferens (Walker, 1858) species group.

Species of the tolutarius species group of the genus Stomodes Schoenherr, 1826 are revised. A redescription of the genus is provided and all available male and female genitalia are illustrated. Two new species, S. benedikti sp. n. and S. dodocunevi sp. n. from Greece, are described. A lectotype is designated for S. amorei Desbrochers des Loges, 1904. The redescriptions of the following species are provided: S. marocanus Hoffmann, 1956; S. muelleri Lona, 1922; S. leonhardi Wagner, 1912; S. letzneri Reitter, 1889 and S. tolutarius Schoenherr, 1826. S. muelleri is for the first time recorded for Macedonia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Greece; S. tolutarius for Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey.

Most members of Tomocerus ocreatus group have two distal large spines on dens, so far, only Tomocerus spinulus Chen & Christiansen, 1998 and Tomocerus leyensis Yu & Deharveng, 2018 have been described with only one distal large spine and are thus exceptional in this group. In the present paper, we report two other species with the same form. The two new species resemble T. spinulus in chaetotaxy, dental spine formula and general shape of the dental spines, but differ from it in several other characters, including position and shape of the prominent dorsal chaetae on the manubrium and dens. Also, T. pseudospinulus sp. nov. differs from T. spinulus in having larger denticles on the dental spines, and T. paraspinulus sp. nov. differs from T. spinulus in having longer antenna and more chaetae on the tenaculum. The two new species are similar, but can be distinguished by length of the antenna, number of the chaetae on tenaculum, status of the prominent manubrial dorsal chaetae and fine sculpture of the dental spines. Distances of COI mtDNA also support the validation of two new species. A key to species of T. ocreatus species-group with single large dental spine is provided.
