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.

The genus Calonema is recorded from China for the first time as the new species Calonema gansuence, described on the basis of material collected from Qilian Mountain, Gansu Province, China. This new species is characterized by its brick brown sporocarps, relatively thick peridium and spores (about 9–12 μm in diam.) marked with rows of warts. A description, scanning electron micrographs and a key to all of the species in the genus Calonema are provided herein. Holotype specimens are deposited in the Herbarium of the Mycological Institute of Jilin Agricultural University (HMJAU), Changchun, China.

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.

The Diplazontinae identified and described by Setsuya Momoi in the collection of Dr. Kaszab from Mongolia were examined at the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest. Because of insufficient labelling, the type status of some specimens had to be clarified and four lectotypes were designated. Syrphophilus stibarus Momoi,1973 is conspecific with Syrphophilus dilleriator Aubert, 1976, syn. nov., and Syrphoctonus lipothrix (Momoi, 1973) is a junior synonym of Syrphoctonus haemorrhoidalis (Szépligeti, 1898), syn. nov. Diplazon multicolor (Gravenhorst, 1829) is removed from synonymy with Diplazon annulatus (Gravenhorst, 1829), stat. rev. A new species is described, Sussaba mongolica sp. nov., and the male of Syrphoctonus venustus (Dasch, 1964) is re-described to account for the material from Mongolia. The ultrastructure of the tyloids of three species is illustrated by scanning electron micrographs to demonstrate their large variability in the subfamily. Seven species are recorded for the first time from Mongolia, four of which are recorded for the first time from the Eastern Palaearctic. These data on the Mongolian diplazontines provide further evidence for an unusually large proportion of species of this subfamily with a multiregional distribution.

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.

AbstractCardiastethus borealis n. sp. is described from Canada, and Melanocoris longirostris n. sp. from Canada and western United States. Two species described from Europe, Acompocoris pygmaeus (Fallen) and Temnostethus gracilis Horvath, are recorded for the first time from North America. Adults and male genital claspers are illustrated and scanning electron micrographs of their osteolar canals are included.

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.

The previously monotypic genus Tritonus Mulsant is revised. Six new species are described from Madagascar, from which the genus is also recorded for the first time: T. complanatus sp.n., T. crenulatus sp.n., T. madagascarensis sp.n., T. riambavy sp.n., T. riana, sp.n., and T. steineri sp.n. New records for the previously described and Mauritian-endemic species Tritonus cribratus (Mulsant) are given. All known species occur in hygropetric habitats, consistent with the biology of other members of the Oocyclus-genus group of the tribe Laccobiini to which Tritonus belongs. A key to species, aedeagal illustrations, and scanning electron micrographs of diagnostic characters are provided.
