The little known aulacid fauna of New Guinea comprises six geographically isolated, endemic species. Previously known from a single species, Aulacus pterostigmatus (Szépligeti), three new species of Aulacus are described: A. enarotadi, A. sedlaceki and A. wau. In addition, Pristaulacus is recorded from New Guinea for the first time with the descriptions of P. kiunga sp. nov. and P. laloki sp. nov. A key to the New Guinea species is provided.

In this second part of the study of Australasian Forcipomyia, the subgenus Warmkea and the group of subgenera related to Caloforcipomyia are examined. Warmkea is recorded from the Australasian region for the first time, with a single species, albiacies, sp. nov. Four new species of the subgenus Caloforcipomyia are recorded, two – quokkae, sp. nov., and gibbus, sp. nov. – from Australia (the latter also from New Guinea), and pennaticauda from New Guinea, and new records are provided for squamianulipes Tokunaga & Murachi. The subgenus Metaforcipomyia is also recorded for the first time from the region, with five Australian species – tomaculorum, sp. nov.; colonus, sp. nov.; campana, sp. nov.; rupicola, sp. nov.; crepidinis, sp. nov. – and one new New Guinea species, furculae, sp. nov. In addition, the species novaguineae Tokunaga and stigmatipennis Tokunaga are transferred to Metaforcipomyia from the subgenus Forcipomyia. A new subgenus, Bassoforcipomyia, apparently related to the Caloforcipomyia group, is erected for two new southern Australian species, centurio, sp. nov., and incus, sp, nov. The relationships of these subgenera, and the relationships of species within the subgenera, are discussed.

This paper represents a revision of the tribe Linnaemyini in Australia but also includes the description oftwo new species of Chaetophthalmus Brauer & Bergenstamm from Papua New Guinea, being the first species of this genus to be described from outside Australia. Apalpus Malloch is regarded as a synonym of Chaetophthalmus and a key is provided to separate Chaetophthalmus from Linnaemya Robineau- Desvoidy. Keys are also provided to species of Chaetophthalmus (21 species) and Linnaemya (five species). Three new synonymies are proposed in Chaetophthalmus: C. biseriatus Malloch = C. dorsalis (Malloch); C, nudistylum (Macquart) = C. bicolor (Macquart); and C, pallipes (Curran) = C. bicolor (Macquart). Eleven new species are described in Chaetophthalmus: alienus; collessi; flavocaudus; flavopilosus; formosioides; fullerae; innotatus; longimentum; occlusus; setosus; tonnoiri. Three new species are described in Linnaemya: metocha; sarcophagoides; setulosa; L. vulpinoides (Baranov) is recorded from Australia for the first time. Descriptions of the first-instar larva of some species of both Chaetopthalmus and Linnaemya are provided.

The four subgenera considered in this section form part of the Forcipomyia-Lepidohelea complex of subgenera. A single species of subgenus Schizoforcipomya, penniornata Tokunaga & Mcrachi (= borbonica Clastrier) has previously been described from the Australasian Region, and to this are added three new species, and the distribution of borbonica is extended. F. tinia Krivosheina from the U.S.S.R. is transferred from Lepidohelea to Schizoforcipomya. Pedilohelea is known from Africa, tropical America and Malaysia; the range of one Malaysian species, forcipis de Meillon & Wirth, is extended to the Australasian Region, and two south temperate species, F. proavia, sp, nov., and F. tasmani Macfie, 1932 are referred to the subgenus. Two additional African species, brincki de Meillon and, tentatively, alamatae Macfie, are also referred to Pedilohelea. Several species of subgenus Microhelea have been recorded from New Guinea and the Pacific, and to these are added seven new species from Australia and New Guinea. Records of the widespread species F. (M.) fuliginosa (Meigen) and F. (M.) inornatipennis (Austen) from the Region are now considered doubtful, and F. (M.) australiensis (Kieffer) is regarded as a nomen dubium. A new subgenus near Microhelea, Dycea, is erected for three Australasian Region species (vespa, sp. nov.; capax, sp, nov.; improbiserra, sp. nov.) and the species hamoni de Meillon from Africa, hikosanensis Tokunaga from Japan, and edgari Tokunaga & Murachi from Micronesia are transferred to this subgenus. The interrelationships and biogeography of the subgenera of Forcipomyia examined in this series are discussed.

The genus Simplimorpha Scoble is recognized for the first time from South America. We describe a subgenus, Myrtinepticula Stonis & Diškus, subgen. nov., for three new species from the southern Andes (Chile and Argentina): Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) cercaria Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov., S. (M.) nielseni Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov., S. (M.) sapphirella Remeikis & Stonis, sp. nov.; and one new species from the southwestern Amazon (Peru): S. (M.) kailai Stonis, sp. nov. We provide a pictorial differentiation scheme for Simplimorpha Scoble and Pectinivalva Scoble. We synonymize the recently erected, predominantly Australian Menurella Hoare, syn. nov. and Cosanovula Hoare, syn. nov. with Pectinivalva Scoble. We also revise the taxonomic status of the Australian Roscidotoga Hoare as a subgenus of Simplimorpha which now exhibits a Gondwanan distribution in the Southern Hemisphere, with the presence of a single species in the Mediterranean. All new taxa are illustrated with photographs of the adults and the genitalia; the leaf mines of Simplimorpha (Myrtinepticula) nielseni sp. nov. are also provided.

Within Augochlorini, Augochlora Smith is one of the most speciose genera, with 118 species, and widely distributed groups, occurring from Argentina to Canada. The genus has a remarkable range of social behaviors and nesting substrate preferences. There are two recognized extant subgenera: Augochlora s.s., whose species nest in decaying wood cavities and Oxystoglossella, whose species nest in soil. To date, a single species revision is available for Central Argentina and Uruguay. In the present study we provide a revision of Oxystoglossella species occurring in Northeastern Brazil including the description of three new species: Augochlora bipunctata sp. nov., Augochlora modica sp. nov. and Augochlora tenax sp. nov. Herein Halictus eucnemis Vachal is resurrected from synonymy with Augochlora thalia Smith, and the lectotype of Halictus hemitomes Vachal is presently designated. Augochlora aurinasis is cited for Brazil for the first time. A key to the six species of Oxystoglossella occurring at Northeastern region in Brazil is provided. The three new species are apparently restricted to this region, being one of them probably linked to the Caatinga biome.

Three new species of Otostigmus Porat, 1876 from Brazilian Atlantic Forest are described. Otostigmus beckeri sp. n. andO. lanceolatus sp. n. are described from the state of Bahia and O. giupponii sp. n. from the state of Espírito Santo. InBrazil, the otostigmine scolopendrid genus Otostigmus comprises 22 species. A summary of Brazilian Otostigmus speciesis presented with new distribution records, taxonomic remarks when appropriate and an identification key. Otostigmus sul-catus Meinert, 1886 is recorded for the first time from Brazil; the Andean Otostigmus silvestrii Kraepelin 1903, previouslyrecorded from Brazil, is here considered not to be present in this country. Eight nominal species are regarded here as newsynonyms. Five of them—Otostigmus pradoi Bücherl, 1939, O. longistigma Bücherl, 1939, O. longipes Bücherl, 1939,O. langei Bücherl, 1946 and O. dentifusus Bücherl, 1946—are based on females of O. tibialis Brölemann, 1902. O. latipesBücherl, 1954 is conspecific with and is considered a junior synonym of O. sulcatus Meinert, 1886; O. limbatus diminutusBücherl, 1946 is a junior synonym of O. limbatus Meinert, 1886 and O. fossulatus Attems, 1928 is a junior synonym of O. goeldii Brölemann, 1898. A lectotype is designated for O. goeldii.

Xestocephalus Van Duzee is among the most common and widespread genera of Cicadellidae in the temperate and tropical regions of the world. In the present study, 205 specimens of the genus Xestocephalus were collected in Thailand, whereas only a single species of the genus was recorded previously using Malaise trap field sampling, studied by comparative morphology. Seventeen species were recognized, including twelve new species: X. binarius sp. nov., X. chrysanthemum sp. nov., X. cowboyocreus sp. nov., X. densprint sp. nov., X. dimiprocessus sp. nov., X. exproiecturus sp. nov., X. gracilus sp. nov., X. limpidissimus sp. nov., X. malleus sp. nov., X. nonattribus sp. nov., X. recipinams sp. nov., and X. tenusis Liang sp. nov. Four species were recorded in Thailand for the first time: Xestocephalus abyssinicus Heller and Linnavuori, Xestocephalus asper Linnavuori, Xestocephalus ishidae Matsumura, and Xestocephalus toroensis Matsumura. Detailed morphological descriptions of all 17 species are given; photographs of external habitus and male genitalia of the species from Thailand are provided. A checklist of species of the genus is also given, and a key to all Thailand Xestocephalus species is also provided.

Representatives of some poorly known spider species collected in the rainforest litter of the Orchid Island (Taiwan) are illustrated and discussed here. A new species, Brignoliella tao sp. nov. (Fam. Tetrablemmidae), endemic to Orchid Island, is described based on both sexes. The previously unknown female of Theridiosoma triumphale Zhao & Li, 2012 (Fam. Theridiosomatidae), is described for the first time. Zoma taiwanica (Zhang, Zhu & Tso 2006) comb. nov., from the same family, is illustrated and its transfer from the genus Theridiosoma O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1879 to Zoma Saaristo, 1996 is proposed on the basis of morphological characters. Habitus and genitalia of the endemic species Gongylidioides angustus Tu & Li, 2006 (Fam. Linyphiidae) are also illustrated.
