Two new species of Coelotrypes Bezzi, C. meremmiae sp. n. and C. paralatilimbatus sp. n. are described from India. Postabdominal structures and the third instar larva of C. luteifasciatus (Senior-White) are also illustrated and described. A key to Oriental species of Coelotrypes is provided.

AbstractA species of Hydrellia, discovered on rice at Ibadan, Nigeria, is described and named Hydrellia prosternalis sp. n. The third-instar larva and puparium are described. Eggs are laid singly per seedling on leaves, and larvae consume the growing points of the shoots, resulting in severe stunting. Pupation takes place in the centre of the shoot, just below the ligule. Hymenopterous parasites of a species of Opius (Braconidae), a genus near Peckelachertus (Eulophidae) and a genus near Cirrospilus (Eulophidae) were reared from pupae.

The penetration and reduction of ammoniacal silver nitrate solution in the epicuticle of the larva of Calliphora was studied. The epicuticle of the third instar larva is more permeable over the muscle insertions and cuticular sense organs. This finding is related to their development at the previous moult. A surface layer of orientated wax is not present. Proteinaceous and fatty materials from the feeding medium modify the properties of the cuticle surface. Chloroformmethanol extracts a soft light brown acidic lipide from the protein of the epicuticle after contaminants from the medium are removed. The water loss from larvae and puparia of different ages and after various treatments was studied. Young puparia recover from abrasion but larvae do not. An hypothesis that waxy substances are liberated on to the surface of the puparium during hardening and darkening of the cuticle is presented and discussed. The pore canals penetrate the endocuticle until they are cut off from the epidermis by the development of the prepupal cuticle just after the puparial contraction. An inner endocuticle in which pore canals were absent was not found. The structure of the pore canals as shown by phase contrast examination is discussed. The pore canals are three times more concentrated in the lateral regions than in the dorsal or ventral regions. The oenocytes go through a secretory cycle during puparium formation similar to that occurring before moulting of the larva.

Amalothrips bifurcus sp.n. is described from Southwestern China as the third species of Amalothrips, characterized by the forked sense cone on antennal segments III–IV. Rhamphothrips yunnanensis sp.n. is described as the second known species of Rhamphothrips in which the male has laterally on the mesosternum one thorn-like seta and one stout shaded seta. Two species, Amalothrips noorazlani Ng and Parexothrips palumai Mound, are newly recorded from China.

Pachnoda iskuulka Král, Sommer & Šípek, new species from the Sanaag region of north-eastern Somaliland is described. The new species is compared with the morphologically similar taxa Pachnoda abyssinica abyssinica Reiche, 1847, P. a. meriteti Di Gennaro, 2017, P. massajae Gestro, 1881, and P. werneri Beinhundner, 1992, all of which occur in the Horn of Africa. Relevant diagnostic characters (e.g., dorsal and ventral surface color pattern, male external genitalia) are illustrated. The third instar larva of the new species is described and biological notes are provided.

Two new species of the cosmopolitan genus Metatrichia Coquillett are described. Metatrichia dhimurru sp. nov. is described from Arnhem Land (Northern Territory), Australia and represents the third species of the genus to be described from the Australasian region. Metatrichia venezuelensis sp. nov. from Venezuela is the third extant species of the genus to be described from the New World.

Two new species of pontoniine shrimp from the reefs around Cartier Island, Western Australia, are described and illustrated. Periclimenaeus ancylodactylus is identifiable from the minor second pereiopod dactyl and P. forcipulatus by the dactyl of the third pereiopod, both with unique features. Two species of this genus are already known from nearby Ashmore Reef and five more from the rest of Western Australia.

A new species of the genus Beebeomyia Curran found in the northern coastal region of the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil is described and illustrated, including characteristics of the male and female terminalia, third instar larva and puparium. This new species is only the second record for the genus in Brazil and broadens its occurrence to the Atlantic Forest ecoregion. Beebeomyia taccarivora sp. nov. is straightforwardly distinguishable from all other known species of Beebeomyia for exhibiting an entirely yellowish orange thorax with a central brown-colored stripe on the scutum, and a brownish orange abdomen with a central brown stripe on tergites 1–4. Similarly to what had been previously described for congenerics, female B. taccarivora flies exclusively use the inflorescences of their host plant, Taccarum ulei, as oviposition and brooding sites. Developing larvae feed on living floral tissue and pollen, and pupariation occurs within the inner surface of the spathe.
