The subgenus Leucandrena of the genus Andrena of eastern Asia is revised, and seven species are recognized. Two new species, Andrena (Leucandrena) paramelanospila and Andrena (Leucandrena) banchan are described from Beijing and Xizang (China) respectively, and the male of Andrena (Leucandrena) melanospila Cockerell is described for the first time. A. (Euandrena) taisetsusana Tadauchi et Hirashima, and A. (Andrena) dolharubang Tadauchi and Xu are recognized as new synonyms of the Holarctic A. barbilabris (Kirby). A key to East Asian Leucandrena is given.

A little known tachinid genus, Metadrinomyia Shima, is revised based on four East Asian species including two new to science: M. flavifrons sp. nov. and M. xanthokolos sp. nov. The majority of the specimens used in this study were collected from low vegetation in the foothills of mountains in South Korea. The new species can be clearly distinguished from their congeners by their pruinosity, chaetotaxy and genitalic structures. A key, descriptions, photographs, and illustrations of the male genitalic structures are provided and the phylogenetic relationships among the species are investigated.

Two East Asian Lomariopsis (Lomariopsidaceae, Polypodiales) species, Lomariopsis moorei and Lomariopsis longini, which were previously misidentified as L. spectabilis, are here described as new species based on evidence from morphological characters and a molecular phylogeny. The two species differ from the three other described species in East Asia by their venation, pinna shapes, and perine morphology. A phylogeny based on a combined dataset of three chloroplast regions (rbcL+ rps4-trnS + trnL-L-F) showed that L. moorei and L. longini each formed a well-supported monophyletic group which was distantly related to both L. spectabilis and the other morphologically similar East Asian species, L. boninensis.

Reticulaphis species (Aphididae: Hormaphidinae: Nipponaphidini) feed mainly on Ficus species as secondary hosts, and are endemic to eastern Asia. The fauna of this genus was surveyed in Taiwan, and material from East Asian countries borrowed from the Natural History Museum, London. Taxonomic problems associated with variation between samples are discussed, and as a result four subspecies of R. distylii (van der Goot) are recognized as independent species: asymmetrica Hille Ris Lambers & Takahashi, fici (Takahashi), foveolatae (Takahashi), and rotifera Hille Ris Lambers & Takahashi. R. distylii subsp. minutissima Hille Ris Lambers & Takahashi is synonymised with R. foveolatae (Takahashi); the taxonomic position of subsp. similis remains ‘incertae sedis’. Two new species are described based on apterous adult females: R. inflata sp.n. from Taiwan and Hong Kong, and R. septica sp. n. from Taiwan. An illustrated key is provided to the eight recognized species, but excluding the type species, R. shiiae Takahashi that remains known only from its description.

The mirine plant bug fauna of the genus Stenotus Jakovlev in Japan, Korea, East China, and Russian Far East is reviewed. Seven species are recognized in the study area; of these, two new species are herein described, namely S. hasegawai sp.n., restricted to cool-temperate climate zones in Japan and Sakhalin, Russia and S. takaii sp.n. assumed to be endemic to Amami-Oshima Island of the Japanese Ryukyus. The Taiwanese species, S. insularis Poppius, is reported from the Ryukyus for the first time and redescribed; the other taxon, S. viridis (Shiraki), is regarded as a nomen dubium, lacking any type series. An additional new species from Nepal, S. ramduwalae sp.n., is described. A checklist of East Asia and Oriental species and a key to all known East Asian species are provided. Stenotus longiceps Poppius is transferred to Zalmunna Distant. The zoogeography of these East Asian Stenotus species is discussed.
