The subfamily Oretinae from China is revised. Three genera and thirty species are reported from China. One new species Oreta inflativalva sp. nov. is described. Fourteen new synonyms are established: Oreta obtusa dejeani Watson (= Oreta sinuata Chu & Wang, syn. nov. = Oreta asignis Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Oreta speciosa (Bryk) (= Oreta hyalina Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Oreta shania Watson (= Oreta bimaculata Chu & Wang, syn. nov., = Oreta cera Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Oreta flavobrunnea Watson (= Oreta dalia Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Oreta pavaca pavaca Moore (= Oreta zigzaga Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Oreta pavaca sinensis Watson (= Oreta fusca Chu & Wang, syn. nov., = Oreta unichroma Chu & Wang, syn. nov., = Oreta lushansis Fang, syn. nov.); Oreta trispinuligera Chen (= Oreta ankyra Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Oreta hoenei hoenei Watson (= Oreta trianga Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Spectroreta hyalodisca Hampson (= Spectroreta fenestra Chu & Wang, syn. nov.); Neoreta brunhyala (Shen & Chen) comb. nov. (= Spectroreta thumba Xin & Wang, syn. nov.). The generic name Neoreta Warren, 1897 is revived for Amphitorna Turner, 1911. Four species are newly recorded for China. The female genitalia of Oreta liensis and Oreta angularis are described for the first time. Three misidentifications in Chu & Wang (1987) are corrected. Diagnoses for the subfamily, genera, and all species are provided. Illustrations of the adults and genitalia are provided.

The genus Ptycerata Ely, 1910 is recognised as a senior synonym of Caulastrocecis Chrétien, 1931, syn. nov., and revised in the Palearctic region. Nine species are recognised as valid. Three new species are described: Ptycerata sumpichi sp. nov. (Italy), Ptycerata nupponeni sp. nov. (Russia: Altai) and Ptycerata transbaikalica sp. nov. (Russia: Zabaikalskiy kray). Three new synonyms are established: Aristotelia salinatrix Meyrick, 1926, syn. nov. of Ptycerata furfurella (Staudinger, 1871) comb. nov., Xystophora tripunctella Snellen, 1884 syn. nov. of Ptycerata pudicella (Mann, 1861) comb. nov.; Aristotelia condensata Meyrick, 1928 syn. nov. of Ptycerata interstratella (Christoph, 1872) comb. nov. Further new generic combinations are proposed: Ptycerata gypsella (Constant, 1893) comb. nov., Ptycerata cryptoxena (Gozmány, 1952) comb. nov., Ptycerata perexigella (Junnilainen, 2010) comb. nov. In order to stabilise nomenclature lectotypes are designated for Ptycerata busckella Ely, 1910, Gelechia furfurella Staudinger, 1871, Hypsolophus pudicellus Mann, 1861, Aristotelia condensata Meyrick, 1928 and Aristotelia interstratella Christoph, 1872. The female genitalia of P. interstratella are described for the first time. Ptycerata pudicella is recorded as new for Cyprus and Mongolia, and P. interstratella as new from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan and Iran. Ptycerata pudicellus is removed from the list of Lepidoptera found in Spain.

One new species of the genus Ethmia Hübner [1819], viz. E. apispinata sp. nov., is described based on the specimenscollected in Yunnan Province; two new synonyms are proposed: Ethmia pseudozygospila Kun & Szabóky, 2000, syn. nov.(= E. guangzhouensis Liu, 1980), and Ethmia amissus Kun, 2001, syn. nov. (= E. pingxiangensis Liu, 1980); the male of E. pingxiangensis is described for the first time. Images of adults and illustrations of genitalia are provided.

AbstractAcupalpa is revised to include five described species: A. albitarsa Mann, A. divisa (Walker), A. pollinosa Mann, A. rostrata Kröber and A. semirufa Mann, and one new species, A. irwini sp. n. All species are brightly coloured wasp mimics with morphological and behavioural characteristics associated with mimicry of pompilid wasps. A key to genera and species is presented with male and female genitalia described and figured for the first time. All species of Acupalpa were compared in a cladistic analysis with two species of Agapophytus using 34 states across 16 adult morphological characters, which resulted in three most parsimonious trees (length = 58 steps). The phylogenetic relationships of species of Acupalpa are discussed in light of the analysis.

The type species of the genus Planovalvata Dubatolov & Kishida, 2012, previously incorrectly identified as Eugoa roseivena Hampson, 1894, is described as new: Planovalvata confusa Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, sp. nov. Taxonomic placement of the genera Planovalvata and Pseudomiltochrista Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2016 is clarified. The combination is revised: Stigmatophora roseivena (Hampson, 1894), comb. rev. Pseudomiltochrista is synonymized with Stigmatophora and downgraded to a subgenus level. One new combination is established: Stigmatophora (Pseudomiltochrista) zolotuhini (Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2016), comb. nov. Male and female genitalia of S. roseivena are illustrated and described for the first time.
