The biosystematic position of the Parallelia generic complex is reviewed and a revised generic classification of its component taxa is presented. Bastilla Swinhoe (= Xiana Nye, syn. nov., Naxia Guenée, syn. nov.) is identified as the most appropriate genus for a large number of these taxa, including the joviana-group, which is reviewed in detail, with description of two new species, B. nielseni, sp. nov. and B. binatang, sp. nov. Parallelia prouti Hulstaert, syn. nov. and P. cuneifascia Hulstaert, syn. nov. are recognised as junior synonyms of Bastilla vitiensis Butler and two newly described Tahitian taxa are transferred into the joviana-group. Larval host records are examined in relation to this new generic system and significant preference for the Euphorbiaceae is noted for several groups: Bastilla, Buzara Walker (= Caranilla Moore, syn. nov., another segregate from Parallelia) and an Australian group within Grammodes Guenée.

Two lace bug genera, Baeochila Drake & Poor, 1937 and Idiocysta China, 1930 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae) are recorded from Japan for the first time, and two new species, B. horvathi sp. nov. and I. takarai sp. nov., are described. The former was collected from the vines of Hedera rhombea (Miq.) Bean (Araliaceae) and the bark of Trachycarpus fortunei (Hook.) H.Wendl. (Arecaceae) in suburbanized areas of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and the latter was collected from the leaves of Freycinetia formosana Hemsl. (Pandanaceae) in the laurilignosa ecosystem of the Ryukyu Islands. The distribution ranges and host plant relationships of the two new species are discussed. Keys to all species of the two genera and photographs of living individuals for the new species are also presented.

AbstractThe punctigera group of the genus Euxoa is defined on the basis of genitalic characters. Species included in this group are Euxoa punctigera (Wlk.), E. spumata McD., E. stigmatalis (Sm.), E. aurantiaca n. sp., and E. cana n. sp. Adults and genitalia of the species are illustrated and a key to species is included.

An integrative taxonomic analysis of the European species of theAgrotisfatidicaspecies-group is presented with special reference to the European sister taxa ofA.fatidica(Hübner, 1824); in addition, a general overview of the entire species-group is given. The remarkable differences found in the barcodes of the Central and Western European populations ofA.fatidica(sensu lato) led us to recognise isolated species of theA.fatidicacomplex. Two new species,A.mayrorumsp. n.(Northern Italy and the French Alps) andA.mazelisp. n.(French Pyrenees) are described. The neotype ofA.fatidicais designated.Agrotisluehrivon Mentzer & Moberg, 1987 is treated as a subspecies ofA.fatidica(stat. n.).

In a very important revision of the Streblidae, Speiser (1900) classified them into two subfamilies: (1) the Nycteriboscinae and (2) the Streblinae. To the first subfamily he referred all the genera of the world, with the exception of Strebla and Euctenodes. Upon the presence of the ctenidium and some other characters these two American genera were included in the second subfamily. This classification of the subfamilies was also adopted by Kessel (1924, 1925).

A recent phylogenetic study revealed a close relationship between chiactine-bearing (family Achramorphidae, order Leucosolenida) and pugiole-bearing (order Baerida) calcaronean sponges as well as new putative taxa within Achramorphidae. In this study, we present a revision of chiactine-bearing sponges based on morphological re-examination of type material and recently collected specimens, in addition to new molecular data for the ribosomal 18S and C-region of the 28S. We provide re-descriptions for all known chiactine-bearing species, and further describe two new species from the Antarctic (Achramorpha antarctica sp. nov. and Megapogon schiaparellii sp. nov.) and two new species and a new genus from the Nordic Seas (Achramorpha ingolfi sp. nov. and Sarsinella karasikensis gen. nov. sp. nov.). The new phylogenetic reconstruction based on ribosomal 18S and C-region of the 28S confirms previous findings about the close relationship of some members of Baerida and the family Achramorphidae of the order Leucosolenida. However, new material and the addition of molecular data from the type species of both taxa would be required to formally propose changes at (sub-)ordinal levels within the classification of Calcaronean sponges.

Having devoted several weeks to the study of the magnificent collection of the remains of Ichthyopterygians preserved in the British Museum (Natural History), I purpose on this occasion to give a brief notice of some of the conclusions at which I have arrived, since a considerable interval will elapse before the publication of that part of the Museum “Catalogue of Fossil Eeptilia” in which my observations will be more fully recorded.

Two New Species

The genus Anisoderomorpha Arrow, 1925 (Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Languriinae) is redescribed and two new species of Anisoderomorpha are described: A. tamdaoensis sp. nov. from Vietnam and A. malayana sp. nov. from Malaysia. The adults of A. tamdaoensis sp. nov. were found to be sexually dimorphic in external morphology, particularly in the shape of the head and mandibles: females have a large asymmetrical head and mandibles, whereas males have a symmetrical head with slightly asymmetrical mandibles. All three members of Anisoderomorpha and its related taxon, Celolanguria curvipes Arrow, 1925, are illustrated and the host plant of Anisoderomorpha is predicted based on the morphological similarity of the specified mouthparts to those of other genera.
