Clubionid spiders from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China are studied. A total of seven genera and 13 species have been found, including two new genera with one new species each, i.e., Ramosatidia Yu & Li, gen. nov., with R. situ Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀) as the type species and Sinostidia Yu & Li, gen. nov., with S. shuangjiao Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀) as the type species. Five additional new species are Sinostidia dujiao Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀), Matidia xieqian Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀), Nusatidia changao Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀), N. mianju Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♀), and N. subjavana Yu & Li, sp. nov. (♀).

Within the Asiatic tiger beetle fauna, Parmecus Motschulsky, 1864 stat. rest., stat. nov., is reestablished as a subgenus of Cylindera Westwood, 1831 with Cylindera (Parmecus) dromicoides (Chaudoir, 1852), as its type species, and the lectotype and paralectotypes of Cicindela dromicoides Chaudoir, 1852 are designated as well. Two other species are included, Cylindera (Parmecus) armandi (Fairmaire, 1886), from the Himalayan Region, and Cylindera (Parmecus) mosuoa, sp. nov., from Yunnan, China. Cylindera (Parmecus) as a subgenus is characterized, a key to identify its species is provided, and its species composition is discussed. Cylindera (Parmecus) dromicoides (Chaudoir, 1852) is newly recorded from Pakistan and the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, while Cylindera (Parmecus) armandi (Fairmaire, 1886) is recorded for the first time from the Chinese province of Sichuan. The records of C. armandi from Bhutan, as well as C. dromicoides from Yunnan Province (China) are rejected due to erroneous identifications.

A total of 22 genera and 79 species of Thyatiridae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) from Yunnan, China are reviewed. Forty of these species are examined in detail, and the wing markings and genitalia of the male/female adults are illustrated. The following five species are recorded from Yunnan for the first time: Psidopala undulans (Hampson, [1893]), Tethea (Tethea) punctorenalia (Houlbert, 1921), Toxoides sichuanensis Zhuang, Owada & Wang, 2014, Mimopsestis basalis sinensis László, Ronkay, Ronkay & Witt, 2007 and Betapsestis brevis (Leech, 1900). Two new species, Parapsestis naxii sp. n. and Parapsestis tachengensis sp. n., are described and their DNA bar codes are provided using genbank accession number. Type species of genus Parapsestis, Parapsestis argenteopicta, we also provide its genbank accession number. Stenopsestis bruna Jiang, Yang, Xue & Han, 2015 is synonymized with Toxoides sichuanensis Zhuang, Owada & Wang, 2014. Biogeographical features of the family in Yunnan are also briefly discussed.

The Pararchaeidae, a family of cryptic spiders known only from Australia and New Zealand, is revised. Six new genera: Anarchaea, gen. nov., Flavarchaea, gen. nov., Forstrarchaea, gen. nov., Nanarchaea, gen. nov., Ozarchaea, gen. nov., Westrarchaea, gen. nov., and 24 new species are described, 23 from mainland Australia and one from New Zealand. Anarchaea, gen. nov. from eastern Australia contains four species: A. corticola (Hickman, 1969), comb. nov.

Nanarchaea from eastern Australia contains two species: N. bryophila (Hickman, 1969), comb. nov. and N. binnaburra (Forster, 1955), comb. nov. (type species). Ozarchaea from Australia and New Zealand contains 16 species: O. bodalla, sp. nov., O. bondi, sp. nov., O. daviesae, sp. nov., O. forsteri, sp. nov., O. harveyi, sp. nov., O. janineae, sp. nov., O. ornata (Hickman, 1969), comb. nov.

Pararchaea Forster, 1955 is represented only by the type species P. alba Forster, 1955 from New Zealand. Westrarchaea, endemic to south-western Western Australia, contains three species: W. pusilla, sp. nov., W. sinuosa, sp. nov. (type species) and W. spinosa, sp. nov. A morphological cladistic analysis of the Pararchaeidae supported monophyly of the genera. Natural history information is summarised for each species where known, and the moulting behaviour, mating behaviour and egg sac of a pararchaeid species are described for the first time.

Refined correlations of Lower-Middle Cambrian boundary strata and Middle Cambrian strata between Cambrian paleocontinents require an improved understanding of local stratigraphic ranges of well-defined trilobite genera and species. The conventional definition of the base of the Middle Cambrian in Spain (base of Acadoparadoxides mureroensis Zone) has led to problems even when correlations into other West Gondwanan regions (i.e., Moroccan) are attempted because Paradoxides (Acadoparadoxides) mureroensis and protolenid species from immediately underlying strata have been regularly misidentified. The A. mureroensis Zone is shown to correlate into strata above the base of the Moroccan Middle Cambrian, and paradoxidid trilobites, a guide to the Middle Cambrian, have a lower occurrence in Morocco. These correlations are strengthened by a reevaluation of higher Middle Cambrian trilobite genera and species in Morocco and their use in correlation into Spain and Baltica. Two new genera and eight new species of Middle Cambrian trilobites from the Moroccan High Atlas and Anti-Atlas are proposed. They areCondylopyge eli n.sp., Schistocephalus?ornatus n.sp., Paradoxides (Acadoparadoxides) nobilis n.sp., Parasolenopleura lemdadensis n.sp., Bailiella inconspicua n.sp., Bailiella dilatata n.sp., Atopiaspis tikasraynensis n.gen. and n.sp., and Cambrophatictor cataractis n.gen. and n.sp. Gigoutella atlasensis Hupé 1953 is described in detail for the first time. Gonzaloia n.gen. (type species Calymene holometopa Angelin 1851) is based on a well-known species from the Middle Cambrian of Baltica. The occurrences of the majority of the new Moroccan taxa clearly corroborate earlier interregional and intercontinental correlations by the author and refine and modify proposals by K. Sdzuy, which were largely based on generalized taxonomic assignments of G. atlasensis and the new species S.? ornatus and P. (A.) nobilis.
