A new species of the Indonemoura fujianensis complex of in the genus Indonemoura Baumann 1975 (Plecoptera: Nemouridae), I. wangae sp. nov. is described from the Shennongjia National Natural Reserve, Hubei Province of Central China. This new taxon is compared with other related members of the I. fujianensis complex. The female of I. auriformis Li & Yang, 2008 is positively associated based on mating pairs recently collected. In the original description, the female of this was erroneously associated and is considered now as an unidentified Indonemoura female herein.

This report provides a description of Primula sunhangii from the Shennongjia Forestry District, Hubei Province in Central China, which is categorized as a new species of the primrose family. Primula sunhangii is morphologically similar to P. involucrata Wall. ex Duby in terms of its simple umbel, efarinose, and prolonged bracts. However, P. sunhangii is distinguished by its glabrous sepal, short petiole (compare with blade) and cylindrical calyx and capsule. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear and cpDNA genes demonstrates that P. sunhangii and P. involucrata are closely related. Combining genetic and morphological data, the recognition of P. sunhangii as a unique new species is supported.

Trichosanthes sunhangii D.G.Zhang, Z.M.Li, Qun Liu & T.Deng, a new species of Cucurbitaceae, is described and illustrated. It was collected in Shennongjia Forestry District, Hubei province, east-central China. T. sunhangii is morphologically similar to T. kirilowii Maxim. and T. rosthornii Harms, but can be easily distinguished from them by its bracts, tendrils and fruits. Phylogenetic analyses based on three DNA barcode markers (ITS, matK and rpl20-rps12) indicated that two accessions of T. sunhangii were grouped together (PP=1.00, BP=100 and LP=100) in Sect. Foliobracteola.

A new species of the genus Neoperla (Plecoptera, Perlidae), N. yingshana Chen & Du sp. nov. from the Wujiashan National Forest Park, Hubei Province of central China is described, illustrated and compared with similar taxa. The new species is characterized by the aedeagal tube long with an upcurved, finger-like spinulose lobe subapically, and by the aedeagal sac plump, gradually tapering to a blunt tip with dense spinules on ventral surface and granules surrounding sac apex.

The notodontid genus Platychasma was established by Butler in 1881, and hitherto comprised only two species: Platychasma virgo Butler, 1881 and P. flavida Wu & Fang, 2003. The former is distributed in China, Japan and Korea (Sugi 1982; Park et al. 1999; Wu & Fang 2003a, b), while the latter is found only in China (Wu & Fang 2003a, b). During moth surveys in southern and central China, the authors collected several specimens with typical external features of the subfamily Platychasmatinae (antenna filiform, quadrifid forewing venation and forewing dorsum bidentate). However, the specimens collected differed from both P. virgo and P. flavida in several morphological features, notably the forewing shape and male genitalia. Following comparison with P. virgo from Japan and with the original description and illustrations of P. flavida, these Chinese specimens are hereby described as new, as follows:

Here we describe Oxytropis shennongjiaensis, a new species of Fabaceae from Central China (Hubei Province). Morphologically, O. shennongjiaensis is closely similar to O. sitaipaiensis, O. melanocalyx and O. kansuensis, but differs in stem characters, with less conspicuous internodes; persistent herbaceous stipules; pale yellow to white corolla; and stipitate legumes, 3–5 mm with a long beak. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and two chloroplast markers (trnL–F and psbA–trnH), also identified O. shennongjiaensis as a new species, which is consistent with our morphological analyses. Considering the morphological data and phylogenetic data presented here, we believe that this evidence satisfies the required diagnostic criteria to identify O. shennongjiaensis as a new species.

Kamimuria dabieshana sp. n. from Dabie Mountains in Hubei Province, central China, is described as new to science. The morphological characters between Kamimuria dabieshana sp. n. and similar congeners are compared and discussed. The first provincial records for K. circumspina Li, Mo & Yang, 2019 from Fujian province is given. The female and eggs of Kamimuria circumspina are described.

Potentilla sunhangii, a new species of Potentilla, from the Jin-hou-ling Mountains, Shen-nong-jia Forest District of Hubei province, China, is described and illustrated. The wild population of the new species is at an elevation of approximately 2930 m and has leaves palmately 3 foliolate. It is morphologically much similar to P. saundersiana, whilst being easily distinguished by its dense array of glands around the plant and green on both surfaces of leaves. Our molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear and chloroplast confirmed the species belongs to Potentilla, in Argentea clade.

Rubia urceolata, a new species endemic to Shennongjia National Park, Hubei Province (central China), is herein described and illustrated. The new species has sub-orbicular to ovate leaves and mericarp berry, which might be confused with the closely related species R. ovatifolia. However, R. urceolata can be distinguished from R. ovatifolia by its urceolate corolla, longer corolla tube (1.3–2 mm) and flowers with purplish red lobes. Morphological comparisons with R. ovatifolia are discussed.

A new species of the arnylliine ant-loving beetle genus Awas Löbl, A. helii Yin, sp. n., collected with Ectomomyrmex ants in Sichuan, SW China, is described and illustrated. The new taxon externally resembles A. kayan Yin & Li from Hunan, central China, but can be readily separated by the different forms of the pronotum and elytra, and details of the aedeagal structures. New collecting data for Awas loebli Yin & Li in eastern China, as well as some notes on the biology of the genus are provided.
