AbstractThe taxonomy and nomenclature of the north European species of Ochsenheimeria Hübner, 1825, is reviewed and four species are recognized: vacculella Fischer von Röslerstamm, urella Fischer von Röslerstamm, mediopectinellus (Haworth) and taurella ([Denis & Schiffermüller]). A total of 12 species-group names are available for these four species. The genus Ochsenheimeria is characterized and its systematic position briefly discussed. Three keys to species based on external characters, male genitalia and female genitalia are provided. Adults and male and female genitalia are briefly described and illustrated. Five lectotypes are designated and two new synonyms are established.

The Miltochrista pudibunda (Snellen, 1880) species-group is reviewed. A new synonym is established: M. pudibunda = M. irregularis Rothschild, 1913, syn. nov. The species previously treated by authors (since Hampson (1900)) as M. pudibunda is described as new: M. berdepsebunda sp. nov. A lectotype female is designated for Miltochrista irregularis Rothschild, 1913. Adults together with male and female genitalia of all species of the group are illustrated, diagnoses are provided for each species.

Phtheochroa carpatianasp. nov. is described from the Southern Carpathians (Romania). It is closely related to the other five members of the P. frigidana species-group. Adults, male and female genitalia, and the habitat of the new species are described and figured, molecular data and some details of the biology are given. The species inhabits alpine meadows above 2100 m, the highest regions of the Southern Carpathians. Adults are on the wing from the end of June to the beginning of August. Phtheochroa carpatiana demonstrates considerable intraspecific variation in some details of the vesica in the male genitalia.

A new species of the genus Dorcatoma Herbst (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) is described based on material from Latvia and Sweden, and recorded also for Poland. Dorcatoma janssoni n. sp. is very close in appearance to D. chrysomelina Sturm, but male genitalia and biology are different. Antennae and male and female genitalia are figured, and the biology of the new species is described. Dorcatoma ambjoerni Baranowski is removed from the synonymy of D. setosella Mulsant & Rey. A key is provided for the European species of the Dorcatoma chrysomelina-group.

Nine new species of Ottistira Pascoe (O. arfakensis Riedel, O. ascendens Riedel, O. dani Riedel, O. longispina Riedel, O. obrienorum Riedel, O. paniaiensis Riedel, O. robusta Riedel, O. telefominensis Riedel, O. tumidirostris Riedel) are described from the highlands of New Guinea. They form a monophyletic group and can be diagnosed by their possession of both lateral humeral flanges and median elytral spines. Male genitalia offer good characters for separation of species, especially when the endophallus is everted. A key to the species is included. Habitus photographs and illustrations of male and female genitalia for all species are provided.

Four new species of Euphyllodromia Shelford, 1908 (E. spathulata, E. nigromaculata, E. neoelegans and E. spiculata) are described. Their male genitalia are illustrated. The female genitalia of E. spiculata and E. nigromaculata are also illustrated. Diagnostic characters of the head, thorax and abdomen of E. amazonensis Rocha e Silva, 1984 are reiterated, illustrated and combined with the description of the male and female genitalia for the first time. A key is provided to include the species treated here.

In the present paper, two new species, Barsine persephone Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (N Thailand and N Vietnam), and Barsine asotoida Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (SW China and N Myanmar) are described. A new combination is established: Barsine specialis (Fang, 1991), comb. nov. Both new species belong to the Barsine prominens (Moore, 1878) species-group, and, as well as B. specialis have unusual for the genus dark brown forewing coloration. Adult, male and female genitalia are illustrated.

In the tenthredinid hymenopteran genus Empria, the European species with a paired whitish patch on tergum 1 are considered tentatively as a species-group termed the E. hungarica group. The type materials of Empria pumila (Konow), E. pumiloides Lindqvist and E. tricornis Lindqvist were examined. The lectotype and paralectotypes of E. pumila are designated, and new diagnostic characters for E. pumila and E. pumiloides are given. A key for the Northern European species of the E. hungarica group is compiled. The results of a comparison of the phenology and some metrical characters of the adults of E. pumila and E. pumiloides are presented in the form of diagrams. E. pumiloides is recorded for the first time from Russia and Germany. The records of E. hungarica from Estonia (Saaremaa) are reported as the northernmost for that species. All available distributional records of Empria hungarica in the Palaearctic are given in the text, and those localized reliably are also mapped.

AbstractHuemer, P.: Review of the Incurvaria vetulella species-group in the Alps (Lepidoptera: Incurvariidae). Ent. scand. 24: 109-120. Copenhagen, Denmark. April 1993. ISSN 0013-8711. The Incurvaria vetulella species-group in the Alps is defined and reviewed. The following species are recognized: vetulella (Zetterstedt, 1839) (eastern Alps), triglavensis Hauder, 1912 stat. n. (southeastern Alps) and ploessli sp. n. (southwestern Alps). All species are described and/or redefined and adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated. Furthermore, Scandinavian specimens of vetulella and circulella (Zetterstedt, 1839) are illustrated for comparison. The considerable external variation between various alpine populations of vetulella is discussed and regarded as infraspecific. A lectotype of triglavensis is designated.

The Barsine obsoleta species-group is reviewed. A new species, Barsine fossi Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. is described from Vietnam. A new combination is established: Barsine obsoleta (Reich, 1937), comb. nov. The neotype is designated for Miltochrista gratiosa f. obsoleta Reich, 1937. Diagnoses for B. obsoleta and B. callorufa Wu et al., 2013 are given. Adults, male and female genitalia of the species reviewed and externally close species are illustrated.

The Australian species of the small heterogastrid genus Parathyginus Scudder, 1957 have been reviewed, resulting in the establishment of the junior subjective synonymy of P. doddi (Distant, 1918) with P. signifer (Walker, 1872), and the description of two new species, P. australis sp. nov. and P. acuminatus sp. nov. A redescription of the genus is provided with emphasis on male and female genitalia characters, along with a key to all included Australian species. Male genitalia, particularly the details of the aedeagus, have been rarely studied in this genus or for that matter the family Heterogastridae particularly due to the difficulty in inflating the inflatable sections. In this study, therefore, an attempt was made to fully inflate and describe the aedeagus of all the species included in this contribution, as well as of Heterogaster urticae (Fabricius, 1775), the type species of the oldest genus Heterogaster Schilling, 1829, of the family Heterogastridae.
