The genus Ornebius Guérin-Méneville, 1844 was divided into five species groups based on the structure of the male genitalia. Three new species of Ornebius were described from the Chinese provinces of Hainan, Guangxi and Guangdong. Type specimens are deposited at the Museum of Flora and Fauna of Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, China (SNNU).

This paper includes a key to the Palaearctic species groups of Botanophila, characteristics of each species group (key and characteristics compiled by Michael Ackland), and keys to the species of Botanophila from China. This paper also provides the characters of the genus Botanophila and describes three new species, namely B. densispinula sp. nov., B. platysurstyla sp. nov. and B. subspinulibasis sp. nov.; Botanophila nigrifrontata (Fan & Zheng) is synonymized with B. melametopa (Fan); and B. zhuoniensis (Jin) and B. nigribella (Deng) are redescribed. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Shenyang Normal University.

Parapteronemobius contains 7 species or subspecies distributed in East Asia with only one species recorded from China. In this study, we reported the second species, P. chenggong He sp. nov., from Zhejiang. The new species differs from P. dibrachiatus in body size, male genitalia and COI gene. The phylogeny of this genus in subfamily Nemobiinae are discussed based on COI, 18S and 28S genes. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

The genus Parapentacentrus Shiraki, 1930 includes two species with long wings. In this paper, we report one new species, P. brevipennis He sp. nov., from Jinping, Yunnan, China. The new species have short forewings and hindwings, and have differences in the shape of supra-anal plate and male genitalia. DNA Barcode (COI gene) of this new species are provided. The type specimens are deposited in Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

The genus Homoeoxipha contains 11 species worldwide with 4 recorded from China. In this study, we reconstructed the gene tree based on COI gene, and reported one new species, H. oscillantenna He sp. nov. The new species is similar to H. eurylobus Ma, Liu & Zhang, but differs in the color of fore femur and the structure of male genitalia. Calling songs and nymph morphology are also provided. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

In this paper two new genera and three new species of Palaeontinidae are described: Quadraticossus gen.nov., containing two new species, Q. fangi and Q. longicaulis; Hamicossus laevis gen. et sp. nov. These two new genera are established based on both complete forewings and hind wings. All of them were collected from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation at Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia. The type specimens are deposited in the College of Life Science, Capital Normal University.

The genus Svistella contains 8 species worldwide with 7 recorded from China. In this study, we reconstructed the gene tree based on COI gene, and reported two new species, S. wuyong He sp. nov. and S. malu He sp. nov. The new species differs from allied species in color, male genitalia, songs and molecular study. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

Only six species or subspecies of genus Mecopoda have been recorded with two species recorded from China prior to this study. We describe 3 new species, M. hainanensis He sp. nov., M. fallax He sp. nov. and M. marmorata He sp. nov. from Yunnan and Hainan. Although M. hainanensis is similar to M. niponensis, M. fallax is similar to M. elongata elongata, their songs can be used for identification. The result of molecular study also supports the validity of three new species. The type specimens are deposited in Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).

Three new species and one new record are added to the philopotamid fauna of India from the Indian Himalaya. The newly described species under the genus Chimarra Stephens include Chimarra butticulata sp.n. and C. gangotriensis sp.n. both from Uttarakhand and C. sangtami sp.n. from Nagaland. The record of C. nigra Kimmins (from Sikkim) constitutes the first record of that species from India, although it was previously known from Nepal. It is redescribed here from India as there are minor differences in the male genitalia from previously described species (in original paper of Kimmins only lateral view of the phallus was illustrated and in the redescribed species the ventral view of phallus is illustrated along with the lateral view). The four species belong to two different species groups and one species is unplaced in the species group. These species are distinguishable from each other as well as from the previously known allied species by consistent taxonomic features of the inferior appendages, tergite X, and the phallic apparatus of males.

We provide diagnostics for eight species groups of Oriental Pseudopostega Kozlov (Lepidoptera: Opostegidae) and a pictorial key for their identification. We designate three new species groups, P. frigida and P. strigulata groups, and the P. auritella group for two Palaearctic species, and rename the P. nigrimaculella group as the P. matrona group. We assign P. euryntis (Meyrick), P. zelopa (Meyrick), and P. subviolaceae (Meyrick), three formerly unplaced species, to species groups based on re-examination of male and female genitalia. We list 22 currently known Oriental Pseudopostega species, and synonymize Pseudopostega spilodes (Meyrick), syn. nov., with P. machaerias (Meyrick). One new Mediterranean species with affiliations to the Oriental fauna, P. matrona Karsholt & Remeikis, sp. nov., is described. The new species is illustrated with photographs of the adults and male genitalia. Additionally, we provide a distribution map of the P. matrona group, now extralimital to the Oriental region.
