Six new species of the spider genus Tonsilla Wang & Yin, 1992 are described from southern China: T. jinyunensis sp. nov. (♂♀) from Chongqing, T. jiugongensis sp. nov. (♂♀) from Hubei, T. subtruculenta sp. nov. (♂♀), T. rutunda sp. nov. (♂♀) and T. yueliangensis sp. nov. (♂) from Guizhou and T. subrostrum sp. nov. (♂♀) from Hunan. In addition, T. yanlingensis (Zhang, Yin & Kim, 2000) is redescribed and its male is described here for the first time. Tonsilla subyanlingensis Liu & Xu, 2020 is transferred to Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999, hence the new combination Draconarius subyanlingensis (Liu & Xu, 2020) comb. nov. is established. The female of T. subyanlingensis Liu & Xu, 2020 should be treated as T. yanlingensis (Zhang, Yin & Kim, 2000). Detailed descriptions, photographs of copulatory organs and somatic features, a distribution map and comparisons with closely related species are presented.

Five new species of Amicromias Reitter, 1912 from Greece are described, illustrated and compared with closely related species: A. cunevi sp. n., A. osellai sp. n., A. platanegrachei sp. n., A. thracicus sp. n. and A. yunakovi sp. n. The presently unknown male of A. intermedius Yunakov, 2005 is described. Amicromias fodori Yunakov, 2005 and A. intermedius Yunakov, 2005 are recorded for the first time from Greece. All Greek species of the genus are keyed and distributions are mapped.

The Old World, cyclostome braconid wasp genus Cedria Wilkinson is recorded from Thailand for the first time based on a new species, Cedria wichasei Quicke, Belokobylskij & Butcher, sp. nov., which is described, illustrated, and a key provided to enable its separation from the closely-related species, C. galinae Belokobylskij and C. africana Belokobylskij which share strong peri-occular carina and at least rather rugose frons. Similarities to Apocedria van Achterberg & Chen, from China, are discussed.

Five new species belonging to the weevil genus <em>Tychius</em> Germar, 1817 are here described: <em>Tychius</em> <em>magnithorax</em> n. sp. (southern central Turkey, Syria), <em>T. podlussanyi</em> n. sp. (northern Portugal), <em>T. ucrainicus</em> n. sp. (eastern Ukraine), <em>T. weilli</em> n. sp. (Syria), <em>T</em>. <em>zagrosianus</em> n. sp. (south-western Iran). For each taxon a description, habitus photograph, figures of rostrum and genitalia when useful for taxonomy, and differential characters from the closely related species are provided. A neotype is designated for <em>Tychius</em> <em>conspersus</em> Rosenhauer, 1856, and the following synonymy is proposed: <em>T</em>. <em>conspersus</em> Rosenhauer, 1856 = <em>T. antoinei</em> Hustache, 1944 n. syn. Finally the male of <em>T.</em> <em>boroveci</em> Caldara, 1995 and the male genitalia of<em> T. lacteoguttatus</em> Desbrochers, 1875 are described for the first time.

In this study, Fulvius anatolicus Çerçi & Gorczyca sp. n., Orthotylus (Pinocapsus) kmenti Çerçi & Koçak sp. n. (Miridae) and Lasiacantha karamanensis Çerçi & Koçak sp. n. (Tingidae) are described from Turkey. Dorsal habitus of each species, male and female genitalia of F. anatolicus sp. n. and male genitalia of O. (P.) kmenti sp. n. are illustrated. Differential diagnostic features between closely related species and the new species are given. Additionally, Hallodapus costae (Miridae) and Tempyra biguttula (Rhyparochromidae) are recorded from Turkey for the first time. Latter is a new alien species for the fauna of Turkey.

Ancyronyx lianlabangorumsp. nov. (Coleoptera, Elmidae), a new spider riffle beetle from the Kelabit Highlands (Sarawak, northern Borneo), is described. Illustrations of the habitus and diagnostic characters of the new species and the similar, polymorphic A. pulcherrimus Kodada et al. are presented. Differences to closely related species, based on COI nucleotide sequences and morphological characters, are discussed. Ancyronyx pulcherrimus is here recorded from Sarawak for the first time, based on DNA barcoding.
