Stylotrichium is a small genus in which all the five species are restricted to the rocky field vegetation (campo rupestre) in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia state, Brazil. From recent field collections in the area we have recognized a new species based on morphology. Stylotrichium hortensiae is distinguished by laminae oblanceolate to oblong (3.5–8 × 1–3 cm), greater number of flowers (35–45), anther connective appendage as long as wide, style 6.5 mm long, and pappus 1–1.5 mm long. A species description, illustrations, a key to the species, comments, and a distribution map are provided.

Discoelius vasukii Pannure & Carpenter, sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Tamil Nadu, India.        Discoelius Latreille, 1809 is a small genus of solitary wasp with ten species and one subspecies described, of which D. aurantiacus Nguyen, D. emeishanensus Zhou & Li, D. esakii Yasumatsu, D. longinodus Yamane, D. nigriclypeus Zhou & Li, D. turneri (Meade-Waldo), D. wangi Yamane and D. zonalis (Panzer) are recorded from Oriental Region (Zhou et al. 2013; Nguyen 2016). Only a single species, D. turneri described from Shillong (Meghalaya) (Meade-Waldo, 1910) and later recorded from Sikkim (Giordani Soika 1960) has been previously known from India. In this study, we describe a new species of Discoelius from India based on a single female specimen collected at Valparai (Tamil Nadu), India.

The genus Mongolotettix Rehn, 1928 is a small genus of family Adrididae. It has nine species discovered from the Far Eastern Asian countries, including China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Russia [Bolívar, 1898; Uvarov, 1914; Caudell, 1921; Chogsomzhav, 1974; Li et Lian, 1994; Wan, Ren et Zhang, 1998; Xie et Li, 2000, Kim et Kim 2005; Dong, et al, 2015; Shi et al, 2016; Storozhenko, 2016; Eades et al, 2017; Zhang et al, 2017]. In the present paper, we describe a new species of the genus from Hubei, China. Type specimens are deposited in the College of Plant Protection, Shandong Agricultural University, Taian, Shandong, China.

The genus Athaumasta Hampson, 1906 is a small genus of the subfamily Bryophilinae, distributed from Central Asia through mountains of South Siberia to the Korean Peninsula. It is closely related to the genera Victrix Staudinger and Bryophila Treitschke, but differs in forewing pattern, strong pectination of the male antennae, a narrow and dorso-laterally flattened uncus, and distally narrowed and apically pointed male valves. The taxonomy of the genus was discussed by Volynkin & Pekarsky (2016). At present the genus includes 10 valid species, some of which were described recently (Volynkin 2012; Volynkin & Pekarsky 2016; Pekarsky 2017), and several taxa await description (Kononenko 2016). The present paper describes a new Athaumasta species from southwestern Mongolia and north-western China related to A. pekarskyi Volynkin, 2012.

Vieira Navás is a small genus of Neotropical green lacewings in the tribe Belonopterygini. Here, a fifth species, Vieira flinti sp. nov., is described from Venezuela and Brazil. This species shares significant features with disparate members of the genus; thus the genus as a whole is now known to express a more continuous range of morphological variation than previously recognized. We present a key for identifying Vieira species and new geographic records for previously described species in the genus.

Anchocerus Fauvel, 1905 is a small genus of the rove beetle tribe Staphylinini. The most recent diagnoses of this genus were provided in Smetana (1988) and Solodovnikov (2008). Until now, 13 species of Anchocerus have been known in the world fauna. Among them, only two species were known from China: A. shibatai Smetana (1995) from Taiwan and A. schuelkei Smetana (2005) from Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces. In addition, one unnamed species of uncertain identity was mentioned by Smetana (2005) from Fujian Province.
