Only two genera of the cosmopolitan tribe Cephenniini are known to occur in the People's Republic of China: Cephennodes Reitter and Cephennomicrus Reitter. The former is species-rich and abundant, especially in subtropical and sub-Himalayan areas, and so far nearly 80 species have been recorded in China. Cephennomicrus is rare, and only two species have been found in this vast country, in the south-eastern province of Fujian. Two new species are reported to occur in Yunnan: Cephennomicrus yunnanicus sp. n. and C. andreasi sp. n.

Heppia arenacea M. Schultz and Lempholemma polycarpum M. Schultz are described as new and placed in the Lichinaceae. Heppia arenacea occurs in soil-crust communities in southern Yemen and on Socotra. It colonizes both calcareous soil-crusts over limestone as well as soils originating from basaltic rocks. The sand-coloured, squamulose thallus, the erumpent, dark red apothecia and the incorporation of soil material into the thallus are diagnostic characters. Lempholemma polycarpum occurs on inclined limestone boulders in south-eastern Yemen. It is characterized by an umbilicate-lobate thallus with radiating, tongue-shaped, furcate lobes which bear numerous, small, immersed apothecia with punctiform discs.

The varying concepts of Janirellidae Menzies, 1956 are outlined, including its rejection by several authors. The view of Wilson and Wägele of Janirellidae being a valid family comprising Janirella Bonnier, 1896 and presumably Dactylostylis Richardson, 1911 (= Spinianirella Menzies, 1962) is accepted. Diagnoses of the Janirellidae subsequent to Menzies’ original one were based on the inclusion of a diverse range of genera now recognised as not belonging in that family. A new diagnosis of Janirellidae is presented based on the inclusion of Janirella, Dactylostylis, and a new genus Triaina with two new species, T. isodonte and T. makridonte, from south-eastern Australia. The latter species represents the shallowest record (80 m) of the otherwise predominantly deep-water family. All species in the family are listed in an appendix, with area of type locality and depth range.

Newtoniellinae is a worldwide marine group of cold-water, deep-sea species, comprising the genera Cerithiella, Paramendax and Trituba. Prior to this study, the subfamily was represented in Brazil by four species of Cerithiella. The present contribution adds new Brazilian records of two of these species, Cerithiella amblytera and Cerithiella enode, in addition to new records of two species previously known only from Cuba and the south-eastern USA, respectively: Cerithiella sigsbeana comb. nov. and Cerithiella producta. Two new species of Cerithiella from Brazil are described: Cerithiella atali sp. nov. has a pointed protoconch identical to the species described in the previously synonymized genus Stilus; Cerithiella candela sp. nov. has the teleoconch very similar to Cerithiella pernambucoensis, but is differentiated by the protoconch morphology. Also, a new species of Trituba is described, Trituba anubis sp. nov., which is the second species of this genus recorded for the western Atlantic. Eumetula axicostulata comb. nov. and Eumetula vitrea comb. nov., both from the western Atlantic but not recorded from Brazil, are transferred from the genus Cerithiella. This study increases from four to nine the number of known species of Newtoniellinae from Brazil.

Two new species of Oecobiidae are described from Central and South America, representing the first native members of the family recorded south of Mexico. Oecobius eberhardi sp.nov. is described based on male and female specimens collected from two localities in Costa Rica. Platoecobius kooch sp.nov., the second species in the genus, is described from female specimens collected in Southern Argentina. A new diagnosis is proposed for the genus Platoecobius Chamberlin & Ivie, 1935, which now includes one species endemic to the south-eastern USA and another from Argentinean Patagonia.

The genus Gymnopaxillus, previously known only from Chile and Argentina, has been found in south-eastern Australia. Two new species, G. nudus and G. vestitus, are described, and the generic description is emended to include hypogeous species with bilaterally symmetric spores and a peridium. Gymnopaxillus spp. are characterised by a yellow to golden-brown, bright cinnamon or ferruginous, loculate, columella-bearing gleba containing boletoid spores that appear vivid golden-yellow in KOH. Molecular phylogeny indicates that the genus is related to the Southern Hemisphere ectomycorrhizal genus Austropaxillus rather than to Paxillus and is placed in the Austropaxillaceae.

Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758 is the largest genus in the scorpionfly family Panorpidae. Herein we describe two new species from eastern China, Panorpa jinhuaensissp. nov. from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province and Panorpa menqiuleiisp. nov. from Yuexi and Huoshan, Anhui Province. Panorpa wrightae Cheng, 1957 from Mount Mogan, Zhejiang Province is considered to be a junior subjective synonym of Panorpa mokansana Cheng, 1957 from the same locality. Panorpa mokansana Cheng, 1957 is redescribed and illustrated in detail. A key to species of Panorpa from eastern China is also provided.

Two new species Folsomia aquatica sp. nov. and Folsomia sanjiangensis sp. nov. from north-eastern China are described. F. aquatica was only found in wetlands, it belongs to quadrioculata-group, it can be distinguished from other species in the group by the combination of the following characters: ommatidia absent; microsensillar formula as1,1/1,0,0; VT with 4+4 latero-distal and usually 7 (6–10) posterior chaetae; 1+1 chaeta on anterior side of manubrium. F. sanjiangensis was found in forest and wetlands, it belongs to sensibilis-group and characterized by ommatidia absent; median sensilla on abdomen within p-row of chaetae; fifth segment of abdomen with a pair of leaf-like sensilla on each side; and 3 chaetae on lateral sides of manubrium.
