Filicicoris gen. nov., a mirine true bug from Tahiti, and six species, F. huahine sp. nov., F. meyeri sp. nov., F. raiatea sp. nov., F. rubramaculus sp. nov., F. tatarnici sp. nov. and F. viridis sp. nov., are described as new to science. Digital images, scanning electron micrographs, maps of distribution, and drawings of male and female genitalia are provided for all species, except for F. viridis, where the female is unknown. The new species represent the first fern record of the subfamily Mirinae.

Bromodesmus catrionae n. gen., n. sp. (type species), B. militaris n. sp., B. riparius n. sp. and B. rufus n. sp. are described. The new genus is characterized by greatly reduced paranota and a gonopod telopodite expanded at the distal end into a posteriorly concave hood fringed with teeth; the hood partly protects a long, curved, acutely pointed solenomerite. Male leg setation in the type species of six Tasmanian dalodesmid genera is briefly discussed and illustrated with scanning electron micrographs. The sphaerotrichome shaft is sharply pointed in Atrophotergum; gently tapered in Dasystigma, Lissodesmus and Tasmanodesmus; expanded at the tip in Bromodesmus; and entirely absent in Gasterogramma. Tips of the setae forming the dense ventral brush on male podomeres are gently tapered in Dasystigma and Lissodesmus, truncated in Gasterogramma, expanded in Bromodesmus and forked in Tasmanodesmus.

A new genus and new species of deraeocorine plant bug, Kalamemiris gen. nov. and Kalamemiris collessi sp. nov., is described from Australia. Illustrations of male genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of key characters of the male and female habitus, as well as male genitalic characters are provided. The diagnosis of the new genus is made in comparison to other deraeocorines of the Australian biogeographic region.

Asperaxis karenae, a new genus and new species of the gorgonian family Melithaeidae, is described. The coenenchymal sclerites of the new genus bear similarities to those of Acabaria, but the axis is quite different from that which is characteristic of the family. The axial sclerites are rods and sticks, often sinuous and branched, with simple, sparse, tubercles. The internodes may be whole or partial, and are not clearly delimited from the internodes. A new subfamily, Asperaxinae, is proposed to accommodate any taxa with the new axial characters, and the Melithaeinae for the existing nominal taxa. The structure of both axial forms and the subergorgiid axis are illustrated with scanning electron micrographs.

A new genus and a species of Saicinae, Kiskeya palassaina, n. gen., n. sp., are described from the Dominican Republic. The armature of the fore leg of the nine apterous female specimens are unique among genera of Saicinae in consisting of spines on the fore femur, but of stiff setae on the fore tibia.

The genus Chaetohesma is proposed for a group of small bees of the subfamily Euryglossinae. Ten new species are described: C. tuberculata, C. newmanensis, C. levis, C, striolata, C. infuscata, C. isae, C. robusta, C. foveolata, C. baringa and C. megastigma. Keys, line drawings and scanning electron micrographs that enable the separation of species are presented.

Elachistelmis gen. n. is described for two new species of riffle beetle, E. tetramera sp. n., and E. sipaliwiniensis sp. n. from southwestern Suriname. This new genus can be distinguished from all other elmid genera by its small size (ca. 1.0–1.2 mm), pronotum with sublateral carinae and lacking depressions, and the presence of a narrow band of plastron setae on the lateral edge of each elytron. Elachistelmis tetramera sp. n. is among the smallest recorded Elmini and possesses many characters associated with miniaturization, such as reduced tarsal formula and feathery wings with reduced venation. A key to species, scanning electron micrographs, and illustrations of the male genitalia are provided.

AbstractA review of Nearctic Apotomis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutini) is presented. Seventeen species are recognized, of which the following are new: coloradensis, trifida, and spurinfida. Apotomis strigosa Heinrich, 1926 is considered a new synonym of tertiana McDunnough, 1922, and dextrana McDunnough, 1923 of removana Kearfott, 1907. Descriptions, distribution maps, and a key to species are provided. Illustrations of male and female genitalia and photographs of distinctive wing patterns are included. Scanning electron micrographs reveal that setae on digitus of male genitalia are taxonomically important.

In this paper a revision of the Afrotropical flea beetle genus Serraphula Jacoby, 1897 is reported. Three species previously attributed to this genus are transferred to the new genus Bechynella gen. n. and the following new combinations are established: Bechynella bohumilae (Bechyné, 1955) comb. n.; Bechynella pallens (Bechyné, 1955) comb. n.; Bechynella sesengensis (Bechyné, 1959) comb. n. The genus Serraphula includes currently 19 species, 16 of which are new to sci-ence: Serraphula aenea Jacoby, 1897; S. elongata Jacoby, 1900; S. puncticollis Bryant, 1944; S. alticola sp. n.; S. audisiana sp. n.; S. bulirschi sp. n.; S. colonnellii sp. n.; S. debiasei sp. n.; S. drakensbergensis sp. n.; S. duplessisi sp. n.; S. grobbelaariae sp. n.; S. monticola sp. n.; S. mpumalangaensis sp. n.; S. natalensis sp. n.; S. oberprieleri sp. n.; S. osellai sp. n.; S. transvaalensis sp. n.; S. uysi sp. n.; S. wittmeri sp. n. Lectotypes for S. aenea, S. elongata and S. puncticollis are designated. A key to all the species is presented as well as line drawings of male and female genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of some diagnostic morphological characters, and autoecological and distributional data.
