The Tersilochinae fauna of Finland is critically revised (except subgenera Tersilochus Holmgren and Euporizon Horstmann). Tersilochinae in two principal Finnish ichneumonid collections, the Finnish Natural History Museum LUOMUS (University of Helsinki) and the private collection of R. Jussila (Turku), have been examined. Thirteen genera and 61 species are found to occur in Finland, including one new species, Barycnemis finnora Khalaim, sp. nov. The Nearctic genus Ctenophion Horstmann is recorded from Finland, as well as from the Palaearctic region, for the first time. Nineteen species are newly recorded from Finland and four species are excluded from the Finnish fauna. Barycnemis agilis (Holmgren) is transferred to the genus Spinolochus Horstmann (comb. nov.). Tersilochus sulcatus Hellén, 1958, a junior homonym of T. sulcatus Smith van Burgst, 1913, is synonymised with Phradis brevicornis Horstmann (syn. nov.). New data on distribution of 25 species in northwestern parts of Russia are also provided.

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.

One New Species

The Furongian (upper Cambrian) trilobite-agnostoid fauna from the Alum Shale Formation of Bornholm, Denmark, is reviewed and revised. The study is based on the museum material stored at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, including the material originally monographed by C. Poulsen (1923) [Bornholms Olenuslag og deres fauna. Danmarks Geologiske Undersøgelse II. Række, Vol. 40, 83 pp]. A total of 8502 specimens, mostly disarticulated sclerites, have been registered. The taxonomy of all species is updated and the best preserved specimens are illustrated. A total of 39 olenid and 5 agnostoid taxa (incl. the Miaolingian Agnostus pisiformis) are recorded including one new species, Ctenopyge magna n. sp. Two specimens of Ctenopyge, treated in open nomenclature as Ctenopyge sp. 1 and sp. 2, may also rep-resent new species. 14 taxa have not been previously reported from Bornholm, viz. Ctenopyge ahlbergi, Ctenopyge tumidoides, Eurycare brevicauda, Leptoplastus abnormis, Leptoplastus crassicornis, Olenus transversus, Parabolina lobata praecurrens, Peltura acu-tidens, Peltura minor, Peltura westergaardi, Protopeltura planicauda, Protopeltura praecursor, Pseudagnostus leptoplastorum? and Sphaerophthalmus drytonensis. Ctenopyge pecten and Ctenopyge affinis are also new to Bornholm as the material formerly described under these names represent Ctenopyge tenuis and C. magna n. sp., respectively. Lotagnostus americanus, Ctenopyge fletcheri, Sphaerophthalmus alatus and Triangulopyge humilis were described under different names by C. Poulsen (1923). Peltura westergaardi and Ctenopyge tenuis are elevated from subspecies to species rank. A redescription of Leptoplastus bornholmensis is presented; the species is transferred to Eurycare. The identification of isolated skeletal parts of L. abnormis and Leptoplastus ovatus and Sphaerophthalmus flagellifer and S. drytonensis are remarked on. The presence of three agnostoid and 14 trilobite zones is confirmed by fossils and all six Furongian superzones are developed on Bornholm. At least the Leptoplastus paucisegmentatus and Leptoplastus raphidophorus zones seem to be absent. Other undocumented zones may be unfossiliferous, not exposed or truly absent. Three different trilobite assemblages (potential subzones) are discerned in the Peltura acu-tidens–Ctenopyge tumida Zone; Ctenopyge tumidoides and Sphaerophthalmus angustus range into the basal part of this zone. All exposures of the Furongian Alum Shale Formation along the Læså and Øleå streams on southern Bornholm are briefly described including GPS coordinates.

The genus Mollitrichosiphum Suenaga from China is reviewed, the diagnostic features of the genus are given, and a key to the known Chinese species is given. Eutrichosiphum alnisuctum Zhang is a new junior synonym of Mollitrichosiphum nandii Basu. Mollitrichosiphum nigrum sp. nov. is described from Meliosma, Ailanthus and Elaeagnus in Fujian and Guangxi, China. Mollitrichosiphum (Metatrichosiphon) rhusae Ghosh is recorded for the first time from China. Some hitherto unknown morphs of Mollitrichosiphum are described. New data on distributions and host plants are reported for the genus. The specimens studied are deposited in National Zoological Museum of China, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum, London.

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.

Some 2,000 Ptiliidae collected in the North and South Islands of New Zealand in 1983/1984 by Peter Hammond of the Natural History Museum, London, are determined to 34 species, four of which are new to the country. As there are very few previous records, most from the Auckland district of North Island, the Hammond collection provides much new distributional data. The three new species: Nellosana insperatus sp. n., Notoptenidium flavum sp. n., and Notoptenidium johnsoni sp. n., are described and figured; the genus Ptiliodes is moved from Acrotrichinae to Ptiliinae, and Ptenidium formicetorum Kraatz recorded as a new introduction. Information is provided to aid separation of the new species from those previously recorded.

The bethylid genus Foenobethylus Kieffer, 1913, unstudied for almost a century, is redescribed and assigned to the subfamily Pristocerinae based on a preliminary phylogenetic assessment. Four new species: F. bidentatus n. sp. (Brunei), F. elongatus n. sp. (Malaysia), F. emiliacasellae n. sp. (Thailand), and F. thomascokeri n. sp. (Malaysia) are described, based on males only, as females remain unrecognised in this genus. All specimens are deposited in the Department of Entomology, the Natural History Museum, London, U.K. The type species F. gracilis Kieffer (Philippines), although unrepresented by any traceable specimen, can be distinguished from these species based on the original description. A key to the five known species of Foenobethylus is provided.
