The paper provides a brief conspectus of the system of morphological generic groups, elaborated earlier by the author basing on the total taxonomic revision of Palaearctic mealybugs. Here the system is complemented by the analysis of all 249 genera of the world fauna. Borders of two generic groups are reconsidered and two else groups (with mainly Oriental and Australasian genera) are included in the system. Main taxonomic characters of generic rank are discussed and illustrated.

The paper briefly discusses the most impressive examples of the Nikolai Vavilov’s “Law of homologous series” in the evolution of one of the largest animal groups, homopterous insects, which comprise about 65,000 recent species in the world fauna. Different taxonomic and phylogenetic characters (morpho-anatomical, cytogenetic, reproductive and others) are considered at the taxonomic ranks of the order, suborder, superfamily and family.

Three new species of the genus Araeopteron Hampson, 1893: A. dawaisp. nov., A. medogensissp. nov. and A. tibetasp. nov. are described from Motuo (= Medog) County of the Xizang Autonomous Region (= Tibet), China. The imagines as well as the male genitalia are illustrated. A checklist of the 45 species of the genus Araeopteron in the world fauna is presented, including recently and presently described species.

The world fauna of the genus Piezura Rondani is revised in order to resolve a series of long standing taxonomic errors. All species are redescribed, and species concepts and distribution ranges of most species have been modified. The genitalia of all species are illustrated and keys to each sex are provided. The female of P. nearctica Chillcott is described for the first time. Piezura pardalina shanxiensis Wang et al, 1992 is treated as an unavailable name, and P. pardalina shanxiensis Xue et al, 1999 is accepted as the valid name for this taxon.

The Fannia carbonaria-subgroup belongs to the Fannia carbonaria-group Chillcott, 1961. The world fauna of this subgroup is reviewed, the diagnostic features of the subgroup are redefined, and a key to the males of the known species is given. Two new species from China are described: F. dorsovittata Wang sp. nov. and F. subfuscitibia Wang sp. nov.. To facilitate comparisons of the species, Fannia corvina (Verrall), Fannia imperatoria Nishida and Fannia xiaoi Fan are redescribed. Geographic distributions of the species of the subgroup are updated. The systematic position and distribution patterns of the F. carbonaria-subgroup are discussed.

AbstractThe small waterstriders of the subfamily Trepobatinae have radiated extensively on New Guinea and surrounding archipelagos. The present contribution is the first in a series of reports dealing with this endemic fauna, and presents a revised tribal level classification for the Trepobatinae, with the following new tribes proposed: Metrobatini, type genus Metrobates Uhler; Naboandelini, type genus Naboandelus Distant; Stenobatini, type genus Stenobates Esaki; Trepobatini, type genus Trepobates Uhler. A key to the tribes is provided, followed by a taxonomic treatment of the new tribe Metrobatini and its constituent genera. The following new taxa are proposed within Metrobatini: Andersenella gen. n., monobasic, type species Andersenella binotata sp. n.; Metrobatoides gen. n., monobasic, type species Metrobatoides genitalis sp. n.; Ciliometra gen. n., including type species Ciliometra kiunga sp. n., plus Ciliometra femorata sp. n. and Ciliometra sepik sp. n.; Iobates gen. n., including type species Metrobatopsis affinis Esaki (as Iobates affinis, comb. n.), plus Iobates salaw ati sp. n. and Iobates somare sp. n.; Stygiobates gen. n., including type species Stygiobates iriana sp. n., plus Stygiobates morotai sp. n.; Metrobatopsis insularis sp. n., Metrobatopsis mussau sp. n., Metrobatopsis lannae sp. n. and Metrobatopsis browni sp. n. in the previously described genus Metrobatopsis Esaki. The genus Metrobatopsis and previously included species Metrobatopsis flavonotatus Esaki and Metrobatopsis solomonensis Hungerford & Matsuda are redescribed. Habitat and distributional notes are given for all the above taxa, accompanied by figures of key characters and distribution maps.
