The Hawaiian eucnemid fauna is reviewed. Each of the known species is redescribed along with descriptions of 20 new species. An overview of the distribution as well as any known aspects of natural history are provided for each species, and keys to identify the Hawaiian species are provided. The following 20 new taxa are described: Fornax muonai new species (type locality Hawai'i), Fornax swezeyi new species (Maui), Fornax yoshimotoi new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus acaciakoa new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus breviangularis new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus forbesi new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus halehakuensis new species (Maui), Dromaeolus hardyi new species (Maui), Dromaeolus harryi new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus kokeensis new species (Kaua'i) Dromaeolus leroyi new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus nualoloensis new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus oahuensis new species (O'ahu), Dromaeolus paulayi new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus ruffini new species (Hawai'i), Dromaeolus sandrae new species (Maui), Dromaeolus susanae new species (Kaua'i), Dromaeolus waikapuensis new species (Maui), Dromaeolus youngi new species (Kaua'i) and Dromaeolus zimmermani new species (Kaua'i).

Three new species, Platyderus casalei new species (type locality: Santa Eufemia, Calabria Region), Platyderus paganettii new species (type locality: Santa Eufemia, Calabria Region) and Platyderus vignai new species (type locality: Gargano Mountain, Apulia Region) are described. The diagnostic characters of the new taxa are defined and figures of the male genitalia are depicted. The synonymy of Platyderus neapolitanus (Reiche, 1855) and Platyderus canaliculatus jannonei Binaghi, 1955 is confirmed. Platyderus dalmatinus is treated as doubtful for the fauna of Italy. A key of the five Italian species of Platyderus from the South Apennines is included.

Two new species of Bibloplectus Reitter, 1881 are described from the Orlando Park Collection of Pselaphinae at the FMNH (Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL, USA): Bibloplectus silvestris Owens and Carlton, new species (type locality, Urbana, IL, USA) and Bibloplectus wingi Owens and Carlton, new species (type locality, Shades State Park, IN, USA). Types of these new species were part of a series of specimens bearing unpublished Park manuscript names in both the pinned and slide collection at the FMNH. They bring the total number of species in the genus in eastern North America to twenty-three. Resolving these manuscript names adds to previous efforts to uncover elements of the hidden diversity of North American Bibloplectus from museum collections (Owens and Carlton 2016, Owens and Carlton 2017) and highlights the importance of close examination of the Orlando Park pselaphine collection as a valuable historic and taxonomic resource.

This paper describes three distinctive, closely related, new genera and four species of Homalotini (Aleocharinae: Staphylinidae) characterized by extremely long slender, curved mandibles, very long slender and whip-like setae variously placed on the labrum, clypeus, or mentum; and similarities in the mouthparts, aedeagi and spermathecae. These new taxa are Eumecognathus new genus, type species E. tasmaniensis new species (type locality: SW Tasmania, Lower Gordon River); Siagotanyx new genus, type species S. rufa new species (type locality: Tasmania, Lake St. Claire National Park) and Drepanomastax new genus, type species D. splendida new species (type locality: Australian National Territory, Mt.

The Neotropical genus Epigomphus Hagen in Selys, 1854 groups 31 species distributed from Mexico to northern Argentina. Only two species have been recorded so far from Colombia. Here we present two new species found in the north of the Andean Colombian Cordillera Central, Epigomphus rufus sp. nov. and Epigomphus brillantina sp. nov. Full descriptions of adult male and female and adult male respectively, plus diagnoses, pictures of the diagnostic characteristics, natural history notes, and a distribution map are provided.

The new genus Huangilene Volynkin & Černý, gen. n. is erected for the Miltochrista alikangiae (Strand, 1917) species-group with Lyclene kepica Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2013 as the type species. Three new species are described: H. odontotilepida Volynkin & Černý, sp. n. (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos), H. kutzscheri Volynkin & Černý, sp. n. (continental China and Taiwan Isl.) and H. apoklinousa Volynkin & Černý, sp. n. (Vietnam). Four new combinations are established: Huangilene kepica (Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2013), comb. n., H. pseudolutara (N. Singh & Kirti, 2016), comb. n., H. alikangiae alikangiae (Strand, 1917), comb. n. H. alikangiae intermedia (Marumo, 1923), comb. n. The lectotype is designated for Asura obsoleta Form alikangiae Strand, 1917, the species’ type locality is fixed as “Karapin” (Taiwan, Chiayi County, Chaoliping).
