American specimens of the Hyperomyzus subgenus Neonasonovia conserved in the collections of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris, France) and the Natural History Museum (London, United Kingdom), have been studied. Data to complement previous descriptions of apterous and alate viviparous females of H. nabali and of apterous viviparae of H. nigricornis, H. inflatus, H. niger and H. pullatus, are presented. Apterous and alate virginogeniae females of H. nigricornis, alate viviparous females of H. inflatus, H. niger and H. pullatus, plus oviparous females of H. nabali, are described for the first time. The morphological and biological variability of H. pullatus is discussed. An identification key for viviparous females of the American species of Neonasonovia is presented for the first time. Microphotographs of apterous and alate viviparous females of H. nabali, H. nigricornis, H. inflatus and H. niger, alate viviparous females of H. pullatus, and oviparous female of H. nabali, are presented.

All the Afrotopical Limnophora Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera, Muscidae) deposited in the Natural History Museum, London (United Kingdom) were analyzed, including the types of the species described by Emden, mainly from the British Museum (Natural History) Ruwenzori Expedition of 1934–1935. Diagnoses and notes on all the species recorded from the Afrotropical region are given, together with illustrations of the male terminalia (when sufficient material was available), some of which are given for the first time. We made the following taxonomic changes: Limnophora terrestris Paterson, 1955 is a junior synonym of Limnophora translucida Stein, 1913 (syn. nov.); Limnophora aculeipes latilamellata Malloch, 1921 has its status revised and is elevated to species rank (stat. rev.) with Limnophora aculeipes eurymetopa Emden, 1951 proposed as a junior synonym (syn. nov.); L. majuscula kinangopana Emden, 1951 is also raised to species rank (stat. nov.). Four new species are described: Limnophora alta sp. nov.; Limnophora nuda sp. nov.; Limnophora numerosa sp. nov. and Limnophora sinuosa sp. nov., with illustrations of male terminalia.

ABSTRACT: In spite of his many other interests, Edward Heron-Allen also worked for nearly 50 years as a scientist on minute shelled protists, called foraminifera, much of it in an unpaid, unofficial capacity at The Natural History Museum, London, and notably in collaboration with Arthur Earland. During this career he published more than 70 papers and obtained several fellowships, culminating in 1919 in his election to the Royal Society. Subsequently, he bequeathed his foraminiferal collections and fine library to the Museum, and both are housed today in a room named in his honour. In this paper, for the first time, an assessment of his scientific accomplishments is given, together with a full annotated bibliography of his publications held in the Heron-Allen Library. This is part of a project to produce a bibliography of his complete publications, recently initiated by the Heron-Allen Society.

This paper provides a comprehensive check list of Nolinae species recorded in Hong Kong, China based on the collections of the second author, Dr. Roger Kendrick and the Natural History Museum, London. The checklist comprises 30 species.  Two of them are new to science and described here as new species (Spininola kendricki sp. n., and Hampsonola ceciliae sp. n.). Misidentification of the female paratype of Spininola nepali László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2014 is revealed and the true female of S. nepali is illustrated with its genitalia described here for the first time. The hitherto unknown female of S. armata László, Ronkay & Witt, 2010 is also illustrated here for the first time. All species recorded from Hong Kong are illustrated together with their genitalia on 54 colour and 46 black and white diagnostic figures.

Two new species the spider family Anapidae are described from Southeast Asia: Conculus sagadaensis n. sp. from Philippines and Conculus yaoi n. sp. from Indonesia, both described after male specimens. Conculus is reported from Southeast Asia for the first time. Diagnoses and illustrations are provided for two new species. The types are deposited in the Natural History Museum of Sichuan University (NHMSU) in Chengdu, China.

AbstractNinety-nine primary types of mostly North American Crambinae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) which are, or were supposed to be, in the collections of the Natural History Museum (NHM), London, are listed. For the 87 types that were located in the NHM, the sex and information on each label are given. Thirty-eight lectotypes are designated. Fissicrambus hospition Bleszynski is moved to Loxocrambus.

For the first time both Light- and Scanning Electron Microscopy are aplied to re-assess diagnostic characters of type specimens for selected Stemonitales kept in the collections of the Natural History Museum London (BM). The results are used to revise published data and the type status is discussed for specimens of Amaurochaete comata G. Lister & Brândză, Comatricha longipila Nann.-Bremek., Comatricha lurida Lister, Comatricha pulchella (C. Bab.) Rostaf., Comatricha suksdorfii Ellis & Everh., Paradiacheopsis rigida (Brândză) Nann.-Bremek., Stemonaria irregularis (Rex) Nann.-Bremek., R. Sharma & Y. Yamam. and Stemonitopsis microspora (Lister) Nann.-Bremek at BM. A lectotype is proposed for Paradiacheopsis rigida (Brândză) Nann.-Bremek.

Choerades castellanii (Hradský, 1962) is recorded from Hungary for the first time. This species was previously known only from Slovakia and Germany. Two specimens were identified from the Diptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum and one specimen was caught while sitting on a pile of logs right outside the Bükk National Park. One of the museum specimens was caught close to the Croatian-Hungarian border, so the species can also be expected to be present in Croatia. With 5 figures.

The Hungarian fauna of the subfamily Hybrizontinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is revised based on the material of the Hymenoptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Three species are proved to occur in Hungary: Hybrizon buccatus (Brebisson, 1825), Hybrizon pilialatus Tobias, 1988 and Ogkosoma cremieri (Romand, 1838). Hybrizon pilialatus and Ogkosoma cremieri are reported for the first time from Hungary. Collecting data to the species occurring in Hungary are given.

First Time

Human skeletal remains from Bijelo Brdo-Venice Street and Vukovar-Lijeva Bara have previously been anthropologically analysed and published, but in this paper cranial traumas are studied for the first time. The sample consists of 84 adult skulls curated in the Natural History Museum and the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. Results showed a high frequency of cranial trauma (19.0 %) recorded in 16 out of 84 well-preserved skulls. Although males exhibit twice as many traumas as females (24.4 % vs. 12.8 %) the difference is not statistically significant. Trauma is present most frequently on the left side of the skull, and there is perimortem trauma in both sites, as well as in both sexes; this indicates the existence of interpersonal violence in these populations.
