Three new species of Parasyrisca Schenkel, 1963 belonging to the potanini-group are described from Western Mongolia: P. platnicki sp. n., P. polchaninovae sp. n. and P. szinetari sp. n. Each species description is based on both sexes. Both the male and female of P. platnicki sp. n. possess some copulatory organ characters unknown in other species of the genus. The previously unknown female and the poorly known male of P. khubsugul Ovtsharenko, Platnick et Marusik, 1995 are described and redescribed respectively, the descriptions being based on the specimens found in Arkhangai and Bayankhongor Aimags. The structures of copulatory organs in Parasyrsca potanini-group are briefly discussed.

Neomuscina Townsend includes 41 species distributed throughout the Nearctic and Neotropical Regions. Although the genus has a large number of species, it has been ignored and its taxonomy is confusing and has many flaws. In this work we analyzed the following species recorded for Brazil: Neomuscina atincta Snyder, N. atincticosta Snyder, N. capalta Snyder, N. currani Snyder, N. douradensis Lopes & Khouri, N. goianensis Lopes & Khouri, N. inflexa (Stein), N. instabilis Snyder, N. mediana Snyder, N. mimosa Lopes & Khouri, N. neosimilis Snyder, N. nigricosta Snyder, N. paramediana Lopes & Khouri, N. pictipennis pictipennis (Bigot), N. ponti Lopes & Khouri, N. sanespra Snyder, N. schadei Snyder, N. similata Snyder, N. stabilis (Stein), N. transporta Snyder, N. vitoriae Lopes & Khouri and N. zosteris (Shannon & Del Ponte). Neomuscina nigricosta and N. transporta are new distribution records for Brazil. Three new species are described: Neomuscina anajeensis sp. nov. from Anagé (Bahia), Neomuscina maculata sp. nov. from Botelhos (Minas Gerais) and Neomuscina snyderi sp. nov. from Mata de São João (Bahia). An identification key based on the morphological characters of both male and female is provided. Species distributions are discussed and updated, and the number of species now recorded for Brazil is 29.

The caddisfly genus Stactobiella Martynov (Hydroptilidae) is revised for Japan, with revisions of two Far East Asian species, one newly recorded for Japan, and the description of three new species. Both S. tshistjakovi (Arefina & Morse, in Arefina et al. 2002) and S. biramosa Martynov 1929 are redescribed, based on male and female specimens. The three new Japanese species are S. aichi sp. nov., S. amami sp. nov., and S. kumejima sp. nov., bringing to five the number of species of Stactobiella known for Japan.

Twenty-six species of endogean beetles are recorded from the Marganai-Oridda-Valle del Leni area, belonging to six different families: Carabidae (Typhloreicheia holdhausi Magrini, Fancello & Casale, 2006, T. leoi pilosa Magrini & Fancello, 2007, T. tanit Leo, Magrini & Fancello, 2005), Leiodidae [Bathysciola damryi (Abeille de Perrin, 1881)], Staphylinidae [Eudesis aglena Reitter, 1882, E. minima Binaghi, 1948, Mayetia sp., Trimium amplipenne Reitter, 1908, Tychobythinus dentimanus (Reitter, 1884), Tychus sp., Pselaphostomus sp., Phloeocharis ichnusae Dodero, 1900, Octavius raymondi Saulcy, 1878, O. sardous Coiffait, 1965, four new species of Entomoculia, three new species of Leptotyphlus], Zopheridae (Langelandia reitteri Belon, 1882, Lyreus septemstriatus Fancello & Leo, 1991), Curculionidae (Torneuma sp.) and Raymondionymidae [Alaocyba carinulata Perris, 1869, Raymondiellus sardous sardous (Perris, 1869)]. One species (Langelandia reitteri) is W-Mediterranan, one is a Sardo-Corsican endemic (Tychobythinus dentimanus), the remaining 24 species are all Sardinian endemics and 16 of these are strictly localized within the study area or restricted to SW Sardinia. The following species of Staphylinidae Leptotyphlinae are described: Entomoculia villascemae sp. nov., E. carbonaria sp. nov., E. shardana sp. nov., E. melonii sp. nov., Leptotyphlus nardii sp. nov., L. minator sp. nov. and L. villacidrinus sp. nov.; all are easily distinguishable from their congeners by the structure of the male copulatory organ and female genital armature. The morphology of the copulatory organ in the newly described Leptotyphlus species indicates that the classical subgeneric categories used in Leptotyphlus are probably based on characters not reflecting a natural subdivision of the genus.

The Chinese fauna of Argyresthia Hübner, [1825] included by 14 described species prior to this study. In the present paper we describe 43 new species and record seven species new to China.

(A.) assimilis Moriuti, 1977 in China is described as A. (A.) mala, sp. nov. Argyresthia cryptomeriae Yang, nomen non rite publicatum, is validated as Argyresthia anthocephala Meyrick, 1936. Keys to the subgenera and to the Chinese species with available specimens are provided.        Photos of adults and male and female genitalia are provided for all the examined species except two from Taiwan. Field photographs and biological information are provided where available. Five DNA barcode sequences of the two new species, A. (A.) surrecta, sp. nov. and A. (A.) lanosa, sp. nov., are provided for association of the sexes.

The new genus Barsura Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, gen. nov. is described for Barsine nubifascia Walker, 1864. Three new species, B. clandestina Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, sp. nov., B. obscura Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, sp. nov. and B. contrastata Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, sp. nov. are described from China. B. simplicifascia (Elwes, 1890), stat. nov. is upgraded to the species level. Three species previously treated as Asura, B. lineata (Fang, 2000), comb. nov., B. melanoleuca (Hampson, 1894), comb. nov. and B. umbrifera (Hampson, 1900), comb. nov. are transferred to Barsura, and one species, Barsine umbrosa (Hampson, 1896) comb. nov. is transferred to Barsine. The name lineata Fang, 1993 is restored as valid. Adults, male and female genitalia of all Barsura species and representatives of the related genera Barsine and Asura are illustrated.
