We describe three new species in the genus Glaphyrosoma: G. magnaproctalis n. sp., G. franciscoasturiasi n. sp. and G. hectorcentenoi n. sp. We provide new data on the distribution of G. karnyi, G. beretka and G. anderi in Guatemala. We propose G. bruneri as nomen dubium and we define the status of specimens recorded as G. gracile in Guatemala and Costa Rica. We also include a species distribution map of this genus with the information available to us up to date and a key to species.

The monotypic subfamily Epitraninae Burks, 1936 (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Chalcididae) is reported for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Seven Epitranus species are recorded in the Southwestern and Central regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, of which three species are new: E. delvarei Soliman & Gadallah, sp. nov. (female & male), E. similis Gadallah & Soliman, sp. nov. (male), and E. subinops Soliman & Gadallah, sp. nov. (female), are described and illustrated. Four new records, E. clavatus (Fabricius), E. hamoni complex, E. inops Steffan, and E. torymoides (Risbec), are also reported. An illustrated key to species is provided.

Foliicolous material of the lichenized genus Porina was collected in different types of forest in Thailand. Three new species were discovered: P. subatriceps Naksuwankul & Lücking, characterized by a yellowish brown, K+ reddish involucrellum and oblong, 7–11–septate ascospores, P. lumbschii Naksuwankul & Lücking, with large, muriform ascospores, and P. thailandica Naksuwankul & Lücking, having, small, oblong, 3–septate ascospores and a dark brown to black, K–involucrellum, morphologically close to P. homala and P. subhomala which differ by having 7–septate ascospores. An artificial key to species for a total of 55 taxa found in Thailand is provided and 20 new records are listed for the country.

Three new Magnolia species and a new record from Guatemala are described and illustrated. Two of the new species, M. javieri and M. oscarrodrigoi, are from Alta Verapaz Department and one, M. veliziana, is from Quiché Department. Additionally, M. faustinomirandae is newly reported for the flora of Guatemala. With this contribution, the number of native Guatemalan species increases from 11 to 15 species. An updated distribution map and a key to species are provided. Guatemala, particularly the north-wet-arc in the Maya Highlands, is now an important centre of diversification and endemism for Magnolia. The conservation status of the newly proposed species was unofficially assessed using IUCN criteria.

The Oriental leafhopper genus Parallygus Melichar is revised and redescribed based on study of its type species, P. divar-icatus Melichar, from Sri Lanka. Based on its paired aedeagal shafts, a feature of some other tribes, it is only tentativelyretained in Athysanini. Three new species, Parallygus burmindicus Viraktamath & Webb, sp. nov. (India: West Bengal,Meghalya; Myanmar: Mishmi Hills), P. jiuhuaensis Dai & Zhang, sp. nov. (China: Anhui) and P. rameshi Viraktamath &Webb, sp. nov. (India: West Bengal) are described and illustrated together with P. divaricatus Melichar and Parallygusguttatus Matsumura comb. reinstated described from Taiwan. The latter species is reinstated into its original genus Pa-rallygus from Phlepsius and is also recorded from mainland China and India (new records). A key to species is also provided.

The Tachytrechus alatus species group is revised. The species group is defined within the genus Tachytrechus on the basis of possession of a strong basiventral bristle on the fore femur and very reduced pulvilli on the midand hindlegs of both sexes. Males also possess a strongly reduced vertical bristle, and a cluster of 2–3 strong bristles on both the fore femur and mid coxa. The T. alatus species group is now known from southern Mexico, Central and South America and comprises eight Neotropical species including three new species: Tachytrechus alatus (Becker), Tachytrechus analis (Parent), Tachytrechus costaricensis Brooks sp. nov., Tachytrechus dios Brooks sp. nov., Tachytrechus giganteus (Brooks), Tachytrechus peruicus Yang & Zhang, Tachytrechus transversus (Van Duzee) and Tachytrechus zumbadoi Brooks sp. nov. A revised key to species is provided, as well as remarks on the phylogeny and zoogeography of the group.

The Neotropical material of the genus Eleusis deposited in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA, containing 440 specimens in 18 species, was studied. Additionally, specimens from French Guiana collected by J. Schmidl, Germany, were included. New records of eight rare species were listed and sampling details noted. Three new species were found: E. mazureki spec. nov., E. dybasi spec. nov., and E. chiriquensis spec. nov. The new species are described and integrated in the key to Neotropical Eleusis provided by Irmler (2017). Furthermore, corrections to the same paper are necessary. These are: Eleusis platysoma Irmler, 2017 is transferred to the genus Inopeplus (Salpingidae); Eleusis fauveli Irmler, 2017 is preoccupied by Eleusis fauveli Fagel, 1957 and E. fauveliana new name proposed for the former, and the location of holotype deposition of E. rufipennis is added.   Nomenclatural acts Eleusis mazureki spec. nov. – urn.lsid:zoobank.org.act:220D0CEA-75CB-4537-BA0D-D95752582D34Eleusis dybasi spec. nov. – urn.lsid:zoobank.org.act:ED409CD2-1674-4C51-94AE-A2AB6D54B066Eleusis chiriquensis spec. nov. – urn.lsid:zoobank.org.act: EA43287D-B203-42E1-8A45-C1AC74396519

The ant genusSphinctomyrmexhas been represented in the Neotropical Region until now by a single species,S. stali, known only from sparse localities in southeastern Brazil. Two new neotropical species are herein described,S. marcoyisp. n. andS. schoerederisp. n. from workers collected in the Brazilian Amazon and Atlantic Forest, respectively. New records forSphinctomyrmex staliare presented, and the species is redescribed together with discussions on its high morphological variation and the identity of its type specimen. A key for the neotropicalSphinctomyrmexworkers, images of all species presently known, and a distribution map are supplied.
