Acropsis Grant, 1958 is a monotypic genus with records only for Peru (type locality). Acropsis is being redescribed, including the Acropsis tectiformis species and two new species: Acropsis solimoesensis sp. nov. and Acropsis julianae sp. nov. The male internal genitalia and the stridulatory file morphology for the genus is being described for the first time. Furthermore, the genus is registered for the first time for Colombia (Caquetá) and Brazil (Acre and Amazonas) and additionally notes on the habitat are made.

The Chinese fauna of Themus Motschulsky, 1858 is studied. Two new species are described: Themus (Haplothemus) quadratiformis sp. nov. (China: Shaanxi) and T. (H.) longideverticulum sp. nov. (China: Yunnan). Themus (Haplothemus) mishmiensis Wittmer, 1973 stat. nov. is elevated to the full-species rank from the subspecies of T. (H.) elongatior Pic, 1955, both species are redescribed. The male of T. (H.) quadratus Wittmer, 1983 and the female of T. (H.) weishanensis Kopetz, 2016 are described for the first time. The species are illustrated with aedeagus and habitus of male, abdominal sternite VIII and internal genitalia of female.

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are culturally and economically important bees and they represent a major component of the Colombian melittofauna. However, the bee fauna of Colombia is still in early stages of exploration and species identification is often difficult or impossible. We revised the species of the cleptobiotic stingless bee genus Lestrimelitta in Colombia and recognized the following eleven species: L. glabrata, L. guyanensis, L. rufa, L. rufipes, and L. spinosa, which are recorded for the first time for the country; L. huilensis, L. opita, L. piedemontana, and two new species, L. diminuta, sp. n. and L. galvisi sp. n. We also confirmed the presence of L. limao in the Colombian Amazon and provide new geographical records with an updated key to species from Central America and northern South America

Two new species of oribatid mites of the previously monotypic genus Ausoribula Lee, 1992 (Oribatulidae) are described from termite nests of South Africa. Ausoribula termitophila n. sp. has a pointed rostrum, elongately fusiform, bothridial setae, a weak anterior notogastral margin which only slightly protrudes into the prodorsum, notogastral setae c2 similar in length to other setae (except shorter c1) and three or four pairs of genital setae. In contrast, A. quagesetosa Lee, 1992 has a rounded rostrum, bothridial setae clavate, and the anterior notogastral margin interrupted and strongly protruding into the prodorsum. Ausoribula bloemfonteinensis n. sp. has a pointed rostrum, clavate bothridial setae, the anterior notogastral margin distinct and only slightly protruding, notogastral setae c2 shorter than other setae (except the shorter c1) and three pairs of genital setae. The genus Ausoribula is recorded in the Ethiopian region for the first time.

The taxonomic utility of various characters is discussed. The status of Hemiboeckella searli Sars is discussed, and the retention of the monotypic genus Hemiboeckella is considered to be justified. A list of generic characters is given for both Boeckella and Hemiboeckella, a key is given to the Australasian species of Boeckella and is accompanied by comparative drawings. Except for B. minuta Sars, this key does not enable female specimens to be identified. The number of Australasian species of Boeckella previously described is reduced from 25 to 14 by synonymy. Two new species, B. geniculata and B. montana, and a new subspecies, B. robusta maxima, are described. Another apparently new species is figured but not named (based on a single specimen only). Two species described from New Zealand are recorded from Australia for the first time. The male fifth legs of all species are described and, except for B. opaqua Fairbridge, all are figured. Additional features are also figured for some species. The distribution of species and some general aspects of their ecology are discussed.

The Stenothemus harmandi species-group has 10 species at present. They are S. harmandi (Bourgeois, 1902) (located in N. India, Nepal); S. holosericus Švihla, 2005, S. orbiculatus Švihla, 2005 and S. subnitidus Švihla, 2005 (N. India); S. distortirudis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014, S. laticollis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014, S. parallelus Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014 and S. septimus Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014 (China: Xizang); S. fugongensis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014 (China: Yunnan) and S. leishanensis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014 (China: Guizhou). In the present study, two previously-known species are classified into this species-group, S. dentatus Wittmer, 1974 and S. alexandrae Švihla, 2004, of which the latter as a subspecies of the former is upgraded to the specific level and another two new species are discovered and described. Two new species of the Stenothemus harmandi species-group are described, S. acuticollis sp. n. (China: Yunnan) and S. nigricolor sp. n. (China: Xizang), which are illustrated with habitus photos and aedeagi of males, abdominal sternites VIII and internal genitalia of females. S. alexandrae Švihla, 2004 stat. n. is upgraded from a subspecies of S. dentatus Wittmer, 1974 and the two species are classified into this species-group. Characters of the female reproductive system are described for the first time for the following species: S. distortirudis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014; S. laticollis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014; S. leishanensis Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014; S. orbiculatus Švihla, 2005; S. septimus Y. Yang & X. Yang, 2014 and S. subnitidus Švihla, 2005. Meanwhile, some additional distribution information is added for previously-described species. A key for the identification of all species is updated.

Two new species are described from Ecuador: Anisopodus flavomarginatus, and Leptocometes brevicornis. Hyperplatys argus (Bates, 1872) is transferred to its original genus: Anisopodus White, 1855. Comments regarding the type locality of Hylettus eremita (Erichson, 1847) and variation of pronotal and elytral pubescence pattern in the species are provided. The species is reported from Colombia for the first time. The type locality, number of specimens in the original description, and institution depositary of the syntypes of Astynomus sallei Candèze (1861 (= H. eremita) are discussed.
