Inquiline oak gall wasps from the genus Synergus Hartig (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Synergini) that occur in the New World should be classified into the following morphological groups: i) species with the radial cell of fore wings open; ii) species with the radial cell of fore wings closed and mesopleurae completely sculptured, always with transversal striae covering its surface; iii) species with the radial cell of fore wings closed and mesopleurae partially smooth, with the speculum always shiny and not sculptured. The latter group, which appears to be unique to the New World’s fauna, is the focus of this study. An exhaustive taxonomical revision of all the Synergus species within this morphological group is carried out for the first time after the initial treatment by Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar (2017). Redescriptions, images and new distribution and biological data are provided. A new species from Mexico, Synergus aurofacies Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar, sp. nov., is here formally described and illustrated. Synergus variegatus McCracken & Egbert, 1922 is a junior synonym of S. flavens McCracken & Egbert, 1922 syn. nov.; S. profusus McCracken & Egbert, 1922 is a junior synonym of S. pacificus McCracken & Egbert, 1922 syn. nov.; and S. flavus Kieffer, 1904 and S. varicolor Fullaway, 1911 are junior synonyms of S. pomiformis (Ashmead, 1885) syn. nov. A key to species of this group is provided. The morphological traits of the species with partially smooth mesopleurae are discussed.

Themus (Telephorops) davidis species-group is redefined and we present a catalogue, identification key and distribution map for this group. Some previously known species are redescribed and we provide new illustrations of female internal genitalia, abdominal sternite VIII and/or aedeagus. Further, we report new distribution data. A new species, Themus (Telephorops) hainanus sp. nov. from China (Hainan) is described, and Themus (Telephorops) birmanicus Wittmer, 1983 is recorded from China for the first time.

Rhagoletis antioquiensis Rodriguez & Norrbom, a new species of fruit fly in the striatella species group of Rhagoletis Loew, is described and illustrated. New distribution records are reported for two other species of the striatella group: R. nicaraguensis Hernández-Ortiz & Frías, 2000 is reported from Costa Rica, and R. solanophaga Hernández-Ortiz & Frías, 2000 from Bolivia. A lectotype is designated for Urophora scutellaris Macquart, 1851 (= R. macquartii (Loew)). New host plant relationships for three species of Rhagoletis, all reared from fruits, are reported: Acnistus arborescens (L.) Schrtdl. and Witheringia solanacea L’Her for R. jamaicensis Foote, 1981 from Colombia; Lycianthes pseudolycioides (Chod. & Hassl.) Bitter for R. solanophaga from Bolivia; and Solanum pseudocapsicum L., Solanum tuberosum L. subsp. andigenum (Juz. & Burkasov) Hawkes, Solanum interandinum Bitter from Colombia and Solanum americanum Mill. in Peru for undetermined species of the psalida group. The key to species of the striatella group of Hernández-Ortiz & Frías (2000) is modified to include R. antioquiensis.

The picture wing species group of Hawaiian Drosophila is the only one to be relatively well known taxonomically, butspecies continue to be discovered. Here seven new species are described: Drosophila kikiko new species, Drosophila ki-noole new species, Drosophila moli new species, Drosophila nukea new species, Drosophila opuhe new species, Dros-ophila pihulu new species, and Drosophila pilipa new species. In addition, the male of Drosophila oreas Hardy isdescribed for the first time, and Drosophila virgulata Hardy & Kaneshiro is reduced to a new junior synonym of Dros-ophila lanaiensis Grimshaw, and the status of the latter and Drosophila ciliaticrus Hardy is clarified. A complete key to all the picture wing species is provided.

Satyrium (Superflua) deria (Moore, 1865) species group is revised. The group contains four species: S. (S.) deria (northern Himalayan region and southwestern Pamirs), S. (S.) muksuria Churkin & Pletnev, 2010 (southwestern Alay Mountains and Peter the Great Range), S. (S.) zabirovi Churkin & Pletnev, 2010 (from northwestern Pamirs to Darvaz Range), and S. (S.) hazarajatica sp. n. (type locality: central Afghanistan, Bamyan Province, Band-e Amir valley, env. Yakawlang). The new species differs from the other members of the group in the male and female genitalia, wing pattern, and colouration. Female genitalia of the S. (S.) deria, S. (S.) muksuria and S. (S.) zabirovi are illustrated and discussed for the first time. S. (S.) muksuria is newly recorded from the Alay Mountains. A key to species of the S. (S.) deria group is provided.
