The “Probetoriformes” species group of Symmachia Hübner, [1819] proposed by Stichel (1910; 1930) is redefined based on morphological evidence, and the species herein included in the group are revised. Two new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest are described: S. atlantica Dias, Dolibaina & Mielke sp. nov. and S. uirassu Dolibaina, Dias & Casagrande sp. nov. Additionally, one restituted status, S. championi Godman & Salvin, 1886 stat. rest., one revalidated status, S. belti Godman & Salvin, 1886 stat. rev., and one new status, S. meyi Brévignon, 1998 stat. nov., are proposed; therefore, the “Probetoriformes” species group, as herein conceived, includes 10 of the about 60 species of the “catch-all” genus Symmachia. A neotype for Papilio probetor Stoll, 1782 and lectotypes for S. probetor form astiama Seitz, 1913, S. belti and S. championi are designated. The female of the recently described species S. divisora Dolibaina & Leite, 2012 is recognized and described for the first time. Additionally, morphologic illustrations and a dichotomous key for species of the “Probetoriformes” species group are provided.

Eremitis Döll is a herbaceous bamboo genus (Poaceae, Bambusoideae, Olyreae) belonging to subtribe Parianinae that currently includes seven species. During fieldwork conducted throughout the geographic distribution of the genus, two new species with blue iridescent leaves, E. berbertii F. M. Ferreira & R. P. Oliveira and E. fluminensis F. M. Ferreira & R. P. Oliveira, from the Brazilian Atlantic forest, were collected and are here described and illustrated. Eremitis berbertii is endemic to the Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural [RPPN]) Serra do Teimoso, in Bahia State, and E. fluminensis is restricted to the south of Rio de Janeiro State. In this study, micromorphological features of the leaf epidermis of the new species were compared with other species of the genus that display blue iridescence in their leaf blades. Variegated leaves are recorded for the first time in herbaceous bamboos. Comments on habitat, distribution, and conservation status of the new taxa are provided, as well as a revised identification key to all species of the genus described so far.

Two new species of “spiny” Solanum (subgenus Leptostemonum), endemic to the Atlantic Forest of the southeastern region of Brazil, are described. Solanum igniferum and Solanum sessilantherum are morphologically related to Solanum asterophorum. Solanum igniferum inhabits the southern region of Espírito Santo State, and can be primarily distinguished from S. asterophorum by its orange-colored to ferruginous vestiture and the pedicels that are straight, or nearly so, keeping the flower buds erect to patent. Solanum sessilantherum differs chiefly from S. asterophorum also by pedicels that are straight, or nearly so, keeping the floral buds erect to patent, loosely arranged inflorescences, with armed axis, usually with unpaired pedicel insertion points when fully developed, and inconspicuous filaments giving the anthers a sessile appearance. Full descriptions, illustrations, distribution map and conservation status are provided, as well as comparative notes on the morphology, geography and some ecological aspects.

Three new species of Otostigmus Porat, 1876 from Brazilian Atlantic Forest are described. Otostigmus beckeri sp. n. andO. lanceolatus sp. n. are described from the state of Bahia and O. giupponii sp. n. from the state of Espírito Santo. InBrazil, the otostigmine scolopendrid genus Otostigmus comprises 22 species. A summary of Brazilian Otostigmus speciesis presented with new distribution records, taxonomic remarks when appropriate and an identification key. Otostigmus sul-catus Meinert, 1886 is recorded for the first time from Brazil; the Andean Otostigmus silvestrii Kraepelin 1903, previouslyrecorded from Brazil, is here considered not to be present in this country. Eight nominal species are regarded here as newsynonyms. Five of them—Otostigmus pradoi Bücherl, 1939, O. longistigma Bücherl, 1939, O. longipes Bücherl, 1939,O. langei Bücherl, 1946 and O. dentifusus Bücherl, 1946—are based on females of O. tibialis Brölemann, 1902. O. latipesBücherl, 1954 is conspecific with and is considered a junior synonym of O. sulcatus Meinert, 1886; O. limbatus diminutusBücherl, 1946 is a junior synonym of O. limbatus Meinert, 1886 and O. fossulatus Attems, 1928 is a junior synonym of O. goeldii Brölemann, 1898. A lectotype is designated for O. goeldii.

In this paper, we revised the physopeltine genus Physopelta Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae) from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Five species were recognized and diagnosed, including two new species, Ph. (Neophysopelta) lutaspidata sp. nov. from northern and central Taiwan and Ph. (N.) fusciscutellata sp. nov. from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan and Taiwan, and three known species, Ph. (N.) gutta gutta (Burmeister, 1834), Ph. (N.) parviceps Blöte, 1931, and Ph. (N.) quadriguttata Bergroth, 1894. Physopelta (Neophysopelta) fusciscutellata sp. nov., was previously regarded as either of the two species, Ph. (N.) cincticollis Stål, 1863 and Ph. (N.) parviceps, for populations from Taiwan. Previous records of Ph. (N.) cincticollis from Japan proper and Korea, and Ph. (N.) slanbuschii (Fabricius, 1787) from the Ryukyu Islands were considered as misidentifications of Ph. parviceps. A key to facilitate the identification of the five species known in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan is provided. Additionally, Ph. (N.) parviceps is recorded from China (Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province) for the first time.

Two new species of the genus Agrisius Walker, 1855, A. orhanti Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, sp. n. and A. leloii Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, sp. n. are described from South Laos and Vietnam respectively. A. orhanti sp. n. belongs to the A. japonicus Leech, 1889 species-group. Whereas, the male genitalia structure of A. leloii sp. n. is intermediate between those of the A. japonicus and the A. guttivitta Walker, 1855 species-groups, therefore, it is assigned to a separated species-group (the A. leloii species-group). Agrisius dubatolovi Orhant, 2012 is downgraded as a subspecies of A. japonicus: Agrisius japonicus dubatolovi Orhant, 2012, stat. nov. Female genitalia of species of the A. japonicus and most of the A. guttivitta species-groups are illustrated for the first time.
