To date, the subgenus Rhomboconnus Franz of Euconnus Thomson was represented by ten species known to occur in Venezuela, Panama and Ecuador. For the first time Rhomboconnus is reported to occur in Peru and Bolivia, and two new species are described: Euconnus wari sp. n. (Peru) and E. inkachakanus sp. n. (Bolivia). The latter species is the largest representative of Rhomboconnus, with body length exceeding 3 mm.

Two new species of the salina group of the genus Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865 (Veliidae) from Colombia are described, illustrated, and included in an updated key. Rhagovelia nuqui sp. nov. is described from the Pacific Region of Colombia and Rhagovelia tintipan sp. nov., is described from the Caribbean Region of the country. The new species are diagnosed by body length and conditions of the male hind femoral spines, paramere shape, and antenna and fore femur color. Additionally, R. colombiana (Polhemus & Manzano, 1992) is redescribed and its range is extended to Chocó departament. Finally, R. plumbea Uhler, 1894 is recorded for the first time from Colombia.

Resulting from the examination of the type specimens of the southern African bee species originally described in the genus Osmia, the taxonomic placement of 19 species is formally established. The following combinations are formalised: Osmia atrorufa Friese, 1913 to Wainia (Caposmia) atrorufa (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia ausica Cockerell, 1944 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) ausica (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia capicola Friese, 1909 (replacement name for Osmia capensis Cameron, 1906) to Capicola capicola (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia flavipes Friese, 1909 to Afranthidium (Nigranthidium) flavipes (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia forficulina Cockerell, 1921 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) forficulina (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia karooensis Brauns, 1926 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) karooensis (Brauns) comb. nov.; Osmia mediorufa Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) mediorufa (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia namaquaensis Friese, 1913 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) namaquaensis (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia natalensis Cockerell, 1920 to Wainia (Caposmia) natalensis (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia neavei Cockerell, 1936 to Hoplitis (Anthoc- opa) neavei (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia ogilviae Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) ogilviae (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia ornatula Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) ornatula (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia orthodonta Cokkerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) orthodonta (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia pachyceps Friese, 1922 to Othinosmia (Megaloheriades) pachyceps (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia piliventris Friese, 1913 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) piliventris (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia reginae Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) reginae (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia rhodognatha Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) rhodognatha (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia similis Friese, 1909 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) similis (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia turneri Cockerell, 1937 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) turneri (Cockerell) comb. nov. The following new synonyms are established: Hoplitis (Anthocopa) namaquaensis (Friese) = Osmia ausica Cockerell syn. nov.; Capicola capicola (Friese) (replacement name for Osmia capensis Cameron) = Capicola braunsiana Friese, 1911 syn. nov., Capicola aurescens Cockerell, 1932 syn. nov., Hesperapis turneri Cockerell, 1934 syn. nov., Hesperapis obscura Cockerell, 1934 syn. nov.; Unlike the statement in Michener (2000: 403) Osmia? capensis Cameron, 1905 is probably not a synonym of Capicola braunsiana Friese given its body length. The type seems to be lost and the identity of this species remains unclear. Hoplitis (Anthocopa) similis (Friese) = Osmia forficulina Cockerell syn. nov; Wainia (Wainiella) sakaniensis (Cockerell, 1936) = Heriades albobarbatus Cockerell, 1937 syn. nov., Heriades debilicornis Cockerell, 1940 syn. nov., Heriades perpolitus Cockerell, 1947 syn. nov., Heriades otaviensis Cockerell, 1947 syn. nov. The status of Wainia (Caposmia) elizabethae (Friese, 1909) spec. rev. as a valid species is restored. Hoplitis (Anthocopa) conchophila Kuhlmann spec. nov., Wainia (Caposmia) gessorum Kuhlmann spec. nov. and the male of Wainia (Caposmia) atrorufa (Friese) are described for the first time. A checklist and an illustrated key to the seven southern African species of Wainia is provided. Notes on known flower visiting and nesting of Hoplitis (Anthocopa) and Wainia are given under the relevant species.

Two new species of the superfamily Plateremaeoidea (Acari, Oribatida) belonging to the genera Pheroliodes (Licnodamaeidae) and Plateremaeus (Plateremaeidae) are described from Bolivia. Both families as well as one known species (Plateremaeus ornatissimus) are recorded in the Bolivian fauna for the first time. Adult of Ph. bolivianus sp. nov. is similar to Ph. barringtonensis in main traits (e.g., notogaster with small, widely spaced foveolae; some notogastral setae phylliform; bothridial seta comparatively long, clavate), but differs from the latter by the smaller body length, the presence of broadly phylliform setae lp, h1 and p1 and setiform setae p2 and p3, and by a large number of transverse ridges and furrows in dorsomedial part on the prodorsum. Adult of Pl. yurtaevi sp. nov. differs from all other species of the genus by the presence of clavate bothridial seta and distantly inserted adanal seta ad3 from anal aperture. The tritonymphal instar of Ph. bolivianus sp. nov. is compared to those of the other species.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.

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 and one new record species of the genus Pseudonereis are described from specimens collected from ecological surveys of coasts of Taiwan and an offshore island during the past 15 years: P. jihueiensis n. sp., P. kihawensis n. sp., and P. trimaculata. Epitokes of P. jihueiensis n. sp. and P. trimaculata are also described. Pseudonereis jihueiensis n. sp. can be distinguished from congeners by having edentate jaws, χ-shaped ridge pattern of Areas VI–V–VI, parapodial morphology (i.e., length ratio of dorsal cirrus to dorsal ligule or presence of small pennant-like dorsal ligule, shape of dorsal ligule in certain region of chaetigers), and no heterogomph spinigers in the subacicular fascicle of the neuropodia. Pseudonereis kihawensis n. sp. differs from congeners by having crescent-shaped pointed-bars in Area VI, λ-shaped ridge pattern of Areas VI–V–VI, parapodial morphology (i.e., length ratio of dorsal cirrus to dorsal ligule or presence of small pennant-like dorsal ligule or shape of dorsal ligule in certain region of chaetigers), and no heterogomph spinigers in the subacicular fascicle of the neuropodia. Pseudonereis trimaculata, a species originally described from Indonesia, is reported from Taiwan for the first time. A table of key characters for all species of Pseudonereis is provided.
