The four subgenera considered in this section form part of the Forcipomyia-Lepidohelea complex of subgenera. A single species of subgenus Schizoforcipomya, penniornata Tokunaga & Mcrachi (= borbonica Clastrier) has previously been described from the Australasian Region, and to this are added three new species, and the distribution of borbonica is extended. F. tinia Krivosheina from the U.S.S.R. is transferred from Lepidohelea to Schizoforcipomya. Pedilohelea is known from Africa, tropical America and Malaysia; the range of one Malaysian species, forcipis de Meillon & Wirth, is extended to the Australasian Region, and two south temperate species, F. proavia, sp, nov., and F. tasmani Macfie, 1932 are referred to the subgenus. Two additional African species, brincki de Meillon and, tentatively, alamatae Macfie, are also referred to Pedilohelea. Several species of subgenus Microhelea have been recorded from New Guinea and the Pacific, and to these are added seven new species from Australia and New Guinea. Records of the widespread species F. (M.) fuliginosa (Meigen) and F. (M.) inornatipennis (Austen) from the Region are now considered doubtful, and F. (M.) australiensis (Kieffer) is regarded as a nomen dubium. A new subgenus near Microhelea, Dycea, is erected for three Australasian Region species (vespa, sp. nov.; capax, sp, nov.; improbiserra, sp. nov.) and the species hamoni de Meillon from Africa, hikosanensis Tokunaga from Japan, and edgari Tokunaga & Murachi from Micronesia are transferred to this subgenus. The interrelationships and biogeography of the subgenera of Forcipomyia examined in this series are discussed.

In this second part of the study of Australasian Forcipomyia, the subgenus Warmkea and the group of subgenera related to Caloforcipomyia are examined. Warmkea is recorded from the Australasian region for the first time, with a single species, albiacies, sp. nov. Four new species of the subgenus Caloforcipomyia are recorded, two – quokkae, sp. nov., and gibbus, sp. nov. – from Australia (the latter also from New Guinea), and pennaticauda from New Guinea, and new records are provided for squamianulipes Tokunaga & Murachi. The subgenus Metaforcipomyia is also recorded for the first time from the region, with five Australian species – tomaculorum, sp. nov.; colonus, sp. nov.; campana, sp. nov.; rupicola, sp. nov.; crepidinis, sp. nov. – and one new New Guinea species, furculae, sp. nov. In addition, the species novaguineae Tokunaga and stigmatipennis Tokunaga are transferred to Metaforcipomyia from the subgenus Forcipomyia. A new subgenus, Bassoforcipomyia, apparently related to the Caloforcipomyia group, is erected for two new southern Australian species, centurio, sp. nov., and incus, sp, nov. The relationships of these subgenera, and the relationships of species within the subgenera, are discussed.

Tokunagahelea is proposed as a new subgenus of the genus Culicoides Latreille to embrace three species from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Comparative descriptions of both males and females of Culicoides mikros, sp. nov., and C. geocheloneoides, sp. nov., and a redescription of the female of C. pygmaeus Tokunaga (male unknown), are presented together with a key for differentiation. C. mikros is the designated type species of the subgenus. Systematic relationships of the new subgenus are discussed.

KIEW, R. 2015. Chionanthus (Oleaceae) in Sulawesi, Indonesia, including three new species. Reinwardtia 14(2): 287 - 295. - The genus Chionanthus (Oleaceae) in Sulawesi is revised. Nine species are described of which C. kostermansii Kiew, C. sordidus Kiew and C. sulawesicus Kiew are new species. Four species are endemic, C. celebicus Koord., C. sordidus, C. stenurus (Merr.) Kiew and C. sulawesicus. The geographic range of C. cordulatus Koord. extends to Borneo and Mollucas, while C. kostermansii also occurs in Sumbawa and Flores, and the range of C. rupicolus (Lingelsh.) Kiew extends to Sumbawa, Mollucas, New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. Chionanthus polygamus (Roxb.) Kiew and C. ramiflorus Roxb. are both widespread species, the former from Sumatra to New Guinea and the latter from continental Asia to the Solomon Islands. A key to identify the species is provided. Chionanthus gigantifolius Koord. remains incompletely known.

Lady beetle fauna of the New Guinea has been studied by several entomologists but there are still many coccinellid groups that have not been recorded from the island yet. Newly collected materials from “Our Planet Reviewed - Papua New Guinea” expedition revealed three new species belonging to the subfamily Microweiseinae, till now unknown from New Guinea. Scymnomorphus bimaculatus sp. nov., S. papuensis sp. nov., and S. kausi sp. nov. are described, and key characters are illustrated. A key to Scymnomorphus species of the Australasian Region is provided.

A new subgenus of stingless bees, Flavotetragonula Shanas, subgen. n. is established and three new species, Tetragonula (Flavotetragonula) calophyllae Shanas and Faseeh, n. sp., Tetragonula (Tetragonula) perlucipinnae Faseeh and Shanas, n. sp. and Tetragonula (Tetragonula) travancorica Shanas and Faseeh, n. sp. are described from southern India, based on workers. It is established that T. (Tetragonula) iridipennis (Smith, 1854) does not occur in India. The most widespread species in peninsular India is Tetragonula (Tetragonula) travancorica Shanas and Faseeh, n. sp. Keys to the subgenera of Tetragonula Moure, 1961 and species of Flavotetragonula and Tetragonula of the Indian subcontinent are provided. Additional information on the geographic range of the north Indian species T. ruficornis Smith (1870) is given. The descriptions of the species are supplemented with the characters of foreleg and hind wing.

In 1959 Tokunaga recorded 26 species in the subgenus Forcipomyia from New Guinea, but he assigned no species to Lepidohelea, that subgenus being at the time considered of doubtful validity. Eleven of these species are here retained in subgenus Forcipomyia and five are transferred to Lepidohelea, which can now be more fully characterised (the remaining species are dealt with elsewhere in this series). Apart from the New Guinea material, a single species of subgenus Forcipomyia is known from Samoa, and one species described from Australia in 1889, F. albopunctata (Skuse), can also be assigned to subgenus Forcipomyia. In this paper 11 new species of subgenus Forcipomyia and 14 of subgenus Lepidohelea are described from Australia, and two new species of each subgenus from New Guinea. Additional data is presented for eight previously described species. Within each subgenus species have, where possible, been placed in species-groups to facilitate comparison and identification.
