Three Asclerobia species from the Palaearctic region are reviewed and diagnosed. A new species—Asclerobia alexandrae sp. nov. from Tyva region of Russia is described. The lectotype of Sclerobia tchahabarella Amsel, 1950 is designated, and the new combination—Asclerobia tchahabarella (Amsel, 1950) comb. nov. is proposed. A key to the species is given based on the combination of external and genitalia characters of both sexes.

A new species of Mycetophilidae (Diptera), Acomopterella martinovskyi sp. n., is described from the Czech Republic and Austria. This is the first record of the genus from the Palaearctic region. Its relationships with other genera and variation in wing characters are briefly discussed. A new combination and synonymy is proposed: Acomopterella fallax (Sherman, 1921) comb.n. = Acomopterella arnaudi Zaitzev, 1989 syn.n.

AbstractMichaelshaffera gen. n. is comprised of two species, M. maidoa (Schaus), new combination, the type species, described from French Guiana, and a new species, M. beckeri, here described from South America. The assignment of taxa to the Pyraloidea is based primarily on characters of the tympanal organs and immature stages. Michaelshaffera lacks a tympanal organ and the immatures are unknown. The rationale for the placement of this genus in the Pyraloidea and lower hierarchical ranks is discussed based on other morphological characters.

Eine Untersuchung von Material, das seit dem ersten Teil der Revision verfügbar wurde, ergab weitere Nachweise von Calodera-Arten. C. zerchei sp. n., die erste Art aus dem Fernen Osten Russlands, wird beschrieben und von der nur aus Japan bekannten C. desdemona Sharp unterschieden. Zwei Synonymien werden begründet: Calodera Mannerheim, 1830 = Ityocara Thomson, 1867, syn. n.; Calodera aethiops (Gravenhorst, 1802) = Aleochara (Calodera) perspicua Gistel, 1857, syn. n. Calodera rubens Erichson, die Typusart von Ityocara, wird wieder Calodera zugeordnet. Die Sexualmerkmale von Calodera rubens, C. desdemona und C. zerchei werden abgebildet. 17 Calodera-Arten sind aus der Holarktis bekannt, davon 11 aus der Westpaläarktis, 3 aus der Ostpaläarktis und 3 aus der Nearktis. Die Tatsache, dass alle bisher untersuchten, aus Regionen außerhalb der Holarktis beschriebenen Calodera-Arten nicht in diese Gattung gehören, deutet darauf hin, dass Calodera holarktisch verbreitet ist.StichwörterColeoptera, Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae, Oxypodini, Calodera, Palaearctic region, taxonomy, new species, new synonyms, new combination, new records.Nomenklatorische Handlungenperspicua Gistel, 1857 (Aleochara (Calodera)), syn. n. of Calodera aethiops (Gravenhorst, 1802)zerchei Assing, 2003 (Calodera), spec. n.

Eleven species of Methocha Latreille from Taiwan are revised. Methocha cirrhocrus Narita & Mita, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The previously unknown male of M. maai Lin, 1966 is described. Methocha taoi Lin, 1966 is newly synonymized under Methocha areolata Lin, 1966. The genus Karlissa Krombein, 1979 is newly recorded from Taiwan, and a new combination is proposed for Methoca (sic!) tricha Strand, 1913, which is transferred to the genus Karlissa Krombein. A key to the species based on males and females is given.

The coelidiinae leafhopper genus Baseprocessa Fan & Li is newly recorded from India based on the description of B. patkaensis Meshram sp. nov. and a proposed new combination, B. serratispatulata (Viraktamath & Meshram) comb. nov. Materials are deposited in the National Pusa Collection, Division of Entomology, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, India. Photographic illustrations, checklist and key to species of this genus along with a distribution map are also provided.
