A new species of the perlodid genus Neofilchneria Zwick, 1973, Neofilchneria wanglanga sp. nov. from Sichuan Province of southwestern China is described. The new species is distinctive in both the male and female adult distinguishing it from the two known congeners. The discovery of this species extends the distribution of Neofilchneria from the eastern Himalayas to southwestern China. A provisional key to the adults of Neofilchneria is provided.

A new nemourid species, Protonemura longispina sp. nov. from Sichuan Province of southwestern China is described. The outer lobe of the paraprocts with numerous long spines and the basal portion divided into two lobes, distinguishes the new species from all congeners. New images of three other species, P. bidigitata Du & Wang, P. biintrans Li & Yang, and P. macrodactyla Du & Zhou are given. Additionally, a key to the adult males of Protonemura known from China is provided.

A new species of Nemouridae of the genus Indonemoura Baumann 1975, I. furcoloba Li & Yang, sp. nov., is described from both sexes from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China. The relationships with related species are discussed. Additionally, a new subspecies is proposed for a population of I. nigrihamita Li & Yang, 2008 from northern Sichuan Province of southwestern China.

A new species of the genus Lasianobia Hampson, 1905, Lasianobia nainysi Saldaitis, Volynkin & Zahiri, sp. nov. is described from highlands of western Sichuan Province of China. The new species is closely related to Lasianobia albilinea (Draudt, 1950). Adults, male and female genitalia as well as DNA barcode data of the new and related species are presented.

The Cyana dohertyi (Elwes, 1890) species-group was erected by Volynkin et al. (2017) and characterized in details by Volynkin et al. (2019). The group is most diverse in mainland China and northern Indochina and comprises 16 valid species and two subspecies (Volynkin et al. 2019; Singh et al. 2020). During a lepidopterological expedition to the northwestern part of China’s Sichuan Province in June and July of 2019, a series of specimens of both sexes of an unidentified Cyana species was collected. The species is closely related to Cyana abiens Fang, 1992 known from the Chinese Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces. However, the specimens collected in Sichuan and C. abiens have conspicuous external and genital differences and the Sichuan population represents another species, which is described below as new.

Abstract Southeastern Asia has been postulated as probably the original sites of genus Haemaphysalis, where numerous structurally advanced haemaphysalids now occur. Because of its phylogenetic and biological interest, we report the discovery of a structurally primitive new species Haemaphysalis (A.) kolonini belonging to subgenus Alloceraea from Baoshan and Weixi cities, Yunnan province, southwestern China. Both the morphological and phylogenic characteristics of the species support congruently to erect Hae. (A.) kolonini as a new species. The male and female adults of Haemaphysalis (A.) kolonini are respectively described and illustrated. Taxonomic discussion and keys to Alloceraea species in China are also provided to be able to distinguish species that are close morphologically.

A new species belonging to the previously monotypic steganine genus Mayagueza Wheeler, 1960 (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is described. The new species, Mayagueza lopesi sp. nov., was collected in the Brazilian Cerrado. This is the first record of this genus for South America, and the description of the new species, based on male and female adult specimens, includes photographs and detailed illustrations of male and female terminalia.

A new species of elfin blue, Cissatsuma berezowskii Krupitsky sp.n., is described from the northwestern Sichuan Province, China, based on two old museum specimens, a male and a female. The new species differs from the most closely related one, C. albilinea (Riley, 1932), in lack of white band of ventral wing surfaces, broadened blue area of dorsal wing surfaces in female, and morphology of the male and female genitalia. The distribution map of the new species and C. albilinea is provided.

Gilliesia pulchra n. sp., the second known species of the genus Gilliesia Peters and Edmunds, is described from male and female imagos collected in Southwestern China. The new species represents a new generic record for this country and extends the known distribution of the genus east across the Himalayan Mountains.
