Recent progresses of knowledge on Riccia diversity in Cape Verde islands are briefly surveyed. The occurrence of two remarkable Riccia species in this archipelago is examined, and their overall distribution is presented.                Riccia atropurpurea Sim and R. congoana Steph. are noteworthy liverwort species, here reported for the first time for Cape Verde islands, from specimens collected in Fogo island. Main diagnosing characters and those of related taxa, habitat preferences, illustrations, scanning electron micrographs and updated ranges of the species are presented.

The leaf-spot pathogen Valdensiniaheterodoxa Peyronel is reported for the first time from the United States (Idaho, Washington, and Oregon), based on the recovery of the anamorph. Scanning electron micrographs illustrate anamorphic propagules collected from economically significant ericaceous hosts Gaultheriashallon Pursh, Vacciniumalaskaense Howell, and Vacciniummembranaceum Douglas.

The genus Calonema is recorded from China for the first time as the new species Calonema gansuence, described on the basis of material collected from Qilian Mountain, Gansu Province, China. This new species is characterized by its brick brown sporocarps, relatively thick peridium and spores (about 9–12 μm in diam.) marked with rows of warts. A description, scanning electron micrographs and a key to all of the species in the genus Calonema are provided herein. Holotype specimens are deposited in the Herbarium of the Mycological Institute of Jilin Agricultural University (HMJAU), Changchun, China.

A Neotropical rove beetle, Piestus heterocephalus Fauvel, 1902 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Piestinae), is redescribed and illustrated. Its abdominal defensive gland complex is described using drawings, photos and scanning electron micrographs. This complex is reported for the first time in Piestinae and its distinctive position is unique in Staphylinidae. Our preliminary survey suggests that the presence of this gland complex is restricted to part or all of the genus Piestus Gravenhorst, 1806.

The unique characters which distinguish Trichomeris Loomis, 1943 from Onomeris Cook, 1896 are based on erroneous drawings and not actual differences. Trichomeris is a junior synonym of Onomeris. All three species of Onomeris, O. sinuata (Loomis), 1943, O. underwoodi Cook, 1896 and O. australora Hoffman, 1950 are redescribed, based on their holotypes, as well as additional specimens. Scanning electron micrographs are presented for the first time for an American member of the order Glomerida. A key to the three species of Onomeris is provided. The available distribution data for Onomeris is still rudimentary, but the distribution areas of the three species are Cumberland Plateau from NW Alabama to Virginia for O. sinuata n. comb., lowland areas from Mississippi to Georgia for O. underwoodi, mountainous areas of Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina for O. australora. Additional Onomeris species can potentially be discovered in the eastern United States.

The Diplazontinae identified and described by Setsuya Momoi in the collection of Dr. Kaszab from Mongolia were examined at the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest. Because of insufficient labelling, the type status of some specimens had to be clarified and four lectotypes were designated. Syrphophilus stibarus Momoi,1973 is conspecific with Syrphophilus dilleriator Aubert, 1976, syn. nov., and Syrphoctonus lipothrix (Momoi, 1973) is a junior synonym of Syrphoctonus haemorrhoidalis (Szépligeti, 1898), syn. nov. Diplazon multicolor (Gravenhorst, 1829) is removed from synonymy with Diplazon annulatus (Gravenhorst, 1829), stat. rev. A new species is described, Sussaba mongolica sp. nov., and the male of Syrphoctonus venustus (Dasch, 1964) is re-described to account for the material from Mongolia. The ultrastructure of the tyloids of three species is illustrated by scanning electron micrographs to demonstrate their large variability in the subfamily. Seven species are recorded for the first time from Mongolia, four of which are recorded for the first time from the Eastern Palaearctic. These data on the Mongolian diplazontines provide further evidence for an unusually large proportion of species of this subfamily with a multiregional distribution.

The previously monotypic genus Tritonus Mulsant is revised. Six new species are described from Madagascar, from which the genus is also recorded for the first time: T. complanatus sp.n., T. crenulatus sp.n., T. madagascarensis sp.n., T. riambavy sp.n., T. riana, sp.n., and T. steineri sp.n. New records for the previously described and Mauritian-endemic species Tritonus cribratus (Mulsant) are given. All known species occur in hygropetric habitats, consistent with the biology of other members of the Oocyclus-genus group of the tribe Laccobiini to which Tritonus belongs. A key to species, aedeagal illustrations, and scanning electron micrographs of diagnostic characters are provided.
