The group of species of Lachnaia tristigma (Lacordaire, 1848) is revised. Previously known taxa and diagnostic characters are reassessed, yielding clear limits for species based on male and female genitalia and not on variable and overlapping external characters. A diagnosis along with figures of the median lobe of aedeagus, endophallus and spermatheca are presented for the previously known species, L. pseudobarathraea Daniel & Daniel, 1898 and L. tristigma, as well as the newly described L. gallaeca n. sp.

The subgenus Pterygnophos Wehrli, 1951 within the genus Charissa Curtis, 1826 nomen protectum (= Hyposcotis Hübner, [1825] nomen oblitum) is taxonomically revised based on morphology and DNA barcoding. The subgenus comprises four species in total which are presented in detail. Diagnostic characters are depicted and keys to the species based on the morphology of male and female genitalia are provided. Males and females of each species and their genitalia are illustrated. The distribution of all species is described and figured on a map, and a neighbor joining tree based on DNA barcoding of 17 specimens is presented. Charissa (Pterygnophos) beljaevi spec. nov. from Mongolia is described as new. A neotype for Gnophos creperaria Erschoff, 1877, and lectotypes for Gnophos deliciaria shantungensis Wehrli, 1953, Gnophos dorkadiaria Wehrli, 1922, Gnophos ochrofasciata Staudinger, 1895, and Gnophos finitimaria Fuchs, 1899 are designated. The following synonyms are recognized: Gnophos finitimaria Fuchs, 1899 syn. nov. is a synonym of Gnophos ochrofasciata Staudinger, 1895 and Gnophos deliciaria shantungensis Wehrli, 1953 syn. nov. is a synonym of Gnophos agnitaria Staudinger, 1897.

A new species of Pheraeus Godman, 1900, P. guandu Saraiva, Carneiro, Mielke & Casagrande sp. nov., restricted to the Rio Doce Valley (Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, southeast Brazil) is described. Adults of the new species are illustrated and compared with phenotypically closest species, Pheraeus argynnis (Plötz, 1884), together with the diagnostic characters present in the male and female genitalia. This new species is here solely described because it is known to occur in a restricted region crossed by the Rio Doce. This region has been extensively transformed in recent decades by agriculture, livestock, construction of hydroelectric and tailing dams, and more recently by a dam failure, thus potentially impacting the habitat of this species.

A new species, Barsine pseudoradians Joshi, Singh & Volynkin sp. nov. is described from North East India (Mizoram, Assam and Meghalaya) and Nepal. The new species belongs to the Barsine prominens (Moore) species-group and is compared with B. radians (Moore, 1878), B. pluma Černy, 2009, B. syntypica Swinhoe, 1906 and B. maculifasciata (Hampson, 1894). Barsine callida (Fang, 1991) is reported for the first time from India. Its comparison with the related Barsine mesortha (Hampson, 1898) is given. Two new combinations are established: Barsine callida (Fang, 1991), comb. nov. and Barsine germana (Rothschild, 1913), comb. nov. Adults, male and female genitalia of all the reviewed species are illustrated.

The Miltochrista pudibunda (Snellen, 1880) species-group is reviewed. A new synonym is established: M. pudibunda = M. irregularis Rothschild, 1913, syn. nov. The species previously treated by authors (since Hampson (1900)) as M. pudibunda is described as new: M. berdepsebunda sp. nov. A lectotype female is designated for Miltochrista irregularis Rothschild, 1913. Adults together with male and female genitalia of all species of the group are illustrated, diagnoses are provided for each species.

A new species Oecetis McLachlan, O. psammophila sp. nov., is described from the Sandhills ecoregion of South Carolina. Illustrations of male and female genitalia and wing photographs are provided. Following the classification of Chen (1993), O. psammophila belongs to the O. parva Species-group of the subgenus Pseudosetodes Ulmer. Adult specimens were taken at ultraviolet lights near or immediately adjacent to impounded streams or spring-fed wetlands. The larva remains unknown, but other Nearctic members of the O. parva Species-group inhabit lentic habitats.

A new species of the genus Cyana Walker, 1854, C. aurantifascia Volynkin, Černý & Dubatolov, sp. nov. is described from Vietnam. The Cyana dohertyi and Cyana phaedra species-groups are established. The new species belongs to the C. dohertyi species-group. Diagnostic comparisons are made with species of similar habitus belonging to the same and to other species-group. Adults, male and female genitalia of the new and related species are illustrated.

A new species of Agapophyta Guérin-Méneville, 1831 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tessaratomidae: Oncomerinae), Agapophyta kmenti sp. nov., is described from the Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia, male and female genitalia are illustrated. The new species is close to Agapophyta aurantiaca Blöte, 1945 and A. boschmai Blöte, 1945. A table of diagnostic characters is given to separate the three species.

A new species from India, Physomerus centralis sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) is described and illustrated with both male and female genitalia. Morphological measurements and their ratios were taken as additional diagnostic characters. A key to the Indian species of the genus Physomerus Burmeister is provided.

Nine new species of Ottistira Pascoe (O. arfakensis Riedel, O. ascendens Riedel, O. dani Riedel, O. longispina Riedel, O. obrienorum Riedel, O. paniaiensis Riedel, O. robusta Riedel, O. telefominensis Riedel, O. tumidirostris Riedel) are described from the highlands of New Guinea. They form a monophyletic group and can be diagnosed by their possession of both lateral humeral flanges and median elytral spines. Male genitalia offer good characters for separation of species, especially when the endophallus is everted. A key to the species is included. Habitus photographs and illustrations of male and female genitalia for all species are provided.
