Three new species of Calliandra section Monticola are described and illustrated: C. bromelioides, C. lewisii and C. oroboensis. All of them are endemic to the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil. In addition we present a study of the pollen morphology using light microscopy and scanning electron micrographs. An identification key for the three new species and the most morphologically similar species in section Monticola is also provided.

A taxonomic revision of the flea beetle genus <em>Diphaulacosoma</em> Jacoby, endemic to Madagascar, is provided. This genus includes seven species of which three are new to science: <em>D. elegans</em> sp. n., <em>D. jenisi</em> sp. n., and <em>D. nigroscutis</em> sp. n. An updated catalogue including new material, new faunistic records, distributions, chorotypes, and ecological notes is supplied. Lectotypes for <em>Diphaulacosoma</em> <em>laevipenne</em> Jacoby, <em>D. bicolor</em> (Weise) and <em>D. scutellare</em> (Weise) are designated. Additionally, the revision comprises a key for the identification of all seven species considered, habitus photos, and microscope and scanning electron micrographs of diagnostic characters, including aedeagus and spermatheca.

Abstract Three new species of the flower bug genus Orius Wolff, 1811 (Anthocorinae: Oriini) are described as new, namely Orius (Orius) ekaii sp. nov., O. (Orius) nigromaritus sp. nov., and O. (Xylorius) paveli sp. nov., all from Nepal. The plant association and habitat are documented for each new species. Habitus images of live individuals and scanning electron micrographs are also provided to aid in proper recognition of their identities. A checklist of Orius species known from South Asia (SAARC nations) is incorporated; Orius indicus (Reuter, 1884) is herein placed in the subgenus Dimorphella Reuter, 1884.

Ilex calcicola (Aquifoliaceae), a new species from western Guangxi, China, is described, illustrated, and compared to two morphologically similar species: I. mamillata and I. wuana. The scanning electron micrographs of pollen grains and stomata of this new species are also showed in the plate. I. calcicola is currently known only from the limestone hills in western Guangxi.

Envekadea metzeltinii sp. nov. is described from periphyton assemblages in the subtropical karstic wetlands of the Florida Everglades, U.S.A. The morphology of the new diatom species is documented by light and scanning electron micrographs and discussed in detail, including comparisons with related species in the genera Envekadea, Caloneis, andNavicula. The new species is characterized by a linear valve outline, a sigmoid raphe course, broad variability in areola shapes and sizes, and two clearly raised axial costae. Apart from the type locality in Florida, the species was observed from similar wetlands in the Yucatan, Mexico. Notes on its ecology and distribution are added.Based on the morphology of the most similar species, Navicula palestinae, the latter is transferred to the genus Envekadea.

Six morphological types of Polemonium pollen are described, including P. micranthum which is the only taxon considered to be consistently identifiable to species. A key to the pollen types as seen in light microscopy is presented along with light and scanning electron micrographs of each type. The palynological evidence supports the taxonomic treatment of P. uciitiflorum and P. occidentale as subspecies of P. caeruleum, and supports a close affinity between P. pectinatum and P. foliosissimum. Brief summaries of the present-day ecology and distribution of Pacific Northwestern Polemonium species are presented. The application of indicator pollen analysis in Quaternary paleoecology is discussed, with special references to examples of paleoenvironmen-tal inference using Polemonium pollen types.

Two new genera of Halticini (Heteroptera: Miridae) from Australia, Dampierella and Goodeniaphila, are described, and include the new species Dampierella schwartzi, Goodeniaphila cassis, and G. schuhi. Habitus photos, scanning electron micrographs and illustrations of salient characters, including the male and female genitalia, distribution maps, and host plant data are included. Additionally, a key to the Australian Halticini is given.

Three new freshwater diatoms are described from China’s Yunnan Plateau region in sediments from Lakes Fuxian, Erhai, and Lugu. Navicula craticuloides, nov. sp., N. gongii, nov. sp. and N. yunnanensis, nov. sp. were identified from light and scanning electron micrographs. The main features of N. craticuloides are its valve outline with rounded ends, a narrow-lateral raphe, hooked terminal fissures, a linear axial area, a rectangular central area, and wavy striae towards the margins. The main features of N. gongii are narrowly lanceolate valves with long-protracted ends, a lateral raphe, a slightly curved axial area, and a rhombic or transversely expanded central area. The main features of N. yunnanensis are lanceolate valves with triundulate margins and cuneate ends and a lateral raphe. The new species have so far been found mainly in surficial sediment.

Mycetocylapus Poppius, Proamblia Bergroth, Rhinocylapidius Poppius, and Rhinocylapus Poppius are revised. Three new species of Rhinocylapus: Rh. kmentii, Rh. pallescens, and Rh. redeii spp. nov. are described from the Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesian Borneo, respectively. Rhinocylapidius velocipedoides Poppius is restored to its original genus. The lectotype for Proamblia cunealis (Poppius) is designated. Dorsal habitus color photographs of all species, scanning electron micrographs of the species of each genus, and pictures of male genitalia are provided. Keys to all the taxa are presented.

Identification keys for females, and for males where known, to the 39 genera and 11 subgenera of Mymaridae in America north of Mexico are given. The genera are illustrated with over 1010 photographs and/or scanning electron micrographs. The 202 currently named and valid species reported from America north of Mexico are catalogued. Reliable host records are reported for 16 genera and almost 90 species from rearings in the region. The five genera represented by more than one subgenus in the region are: Anagrus Haliday, Anaphes Haliday, Erythmelus Enock, Kalopolynema Ogloblin, and Polynema Haliday. Five other genera are represented only by unnamed and possibly undescribed species. About 1000 literature references, mainly the North American ones, are listed. Three new species are described: Callodicopus floridanus Huber, sp. n., Neostethynium americanum Huber, sp. n., and Stephanocampta xanthogaster Huber, sp. n. Cosmocomoidea marilandica (Girault), stat. rev., is placed in synonymy under C. dolichocerus (Ashmead). Platypatasson Ogloblin is given subgeneric status as Platystethynium (Platypatasson Ogloblin), stat. rev. Corrections and additions to the mymarid fauna of Mexico by Guzmán-Larralde et al. (2017) are also given.
