Schoenus is a predominately austral genus of sedges in which the Southern African taxa have recently received detailed taxonomic attention, starting with a transfer of 24 species into Schoenus from Tetraria and Epischoenus in 2017. The taxonomy of the Southern African Schoenus species is currently being revised, which has brought insight into the existence of several species new to science. Here, we build on this recent taxonomic work by describing one new species that has been previously overlooked (Schoenus inconspicuus), while including a distribution map, an assessment of conservation status and an updated identification key.

Lasiochira wuzhishanensis Yin, sp. nov. is described herein from the island province of Hainan, China. It is diagnosed from a similar species, Lasiochira jianfengensis Yin, Wang & Park, 2014. Both species are sympatric in Hainan province, but the latter is also known in northern Vietnam. Lasiochira pallidiptera Yin, Wang & Park, 2014 is recorded for the first time from China. Color images of the adults and genitalia of the above three species are provided. In addition, a checklist and a geographical distribution map of all species of Lasiochira Meyrick are included.

One new species of Copris Geoffroy from Sonora and Chihuahua is described and illustrated: Copris warneri sp. nov. The new species is closely related to C. arizonensis Schaeffer. Drawings of the male and female and a distribution map are included. New distributional records for C. arizonensis Schaeffer and C. martinezi Matthews and Halffter are provided.

Duolandrevus species are brown, smooth and shiny, and armed with short tegmina. There are twelve species recorded from China. We redescribed five species of them and reported a new species, Duolandrevus longlouensis sp. n., discovered in Hainan Island, China. The new one belongs to the subgenus Eulandreus and is similar to Duolandrevus obsidianus He, 2019 and Duolandrevus dendrophilus (Gorochov, 1988), but differs from them in body size and details of tegmina and genitalia. Besides description and illustration of the five recorded species and one new species, keys and distribution map of Chinese bark crickets were provided.

Radicipes is an octocoral genus composed of whip-like chrysogorgiids. Representatives of this group, also called ‘pigtails’, occur in almost all continental margins around the globe. Since its description in the 19th century, no comprehensive revision of this genus has been made. Thus, we present herein a revision of Radicipes, with descriptions of previously known species and one new species, Radicipes stonei. Type specimens from several museums were examined and seven species are considered valid. A distribution map of the genus and illustrations for all species are provided and a brief discussion is given on the possibility of additional undescribed species.

The species group effusus of the genus Pyrops Spinola, 1839 is reviewed and the nomenclatural history of the genus Pyrops is briefly summarized. One new species from eastern Borneo, Pyrops synavei sp. nov., is described. P. gunjii (Satô & Nagai, 1994) stat. nov. is proposed as a valid species instead of a subspecies of P. whiteheadi (Distant, 1889). P. maquilinganus (Baker, 1925) is removed from the effusus group and placed back into the candelaria group. P. cyanirostris (Guérin-Méneville, 1845) is removed from the group and not attributed to any of the currently defined species groups. An illustrated key to the species of the group with the addition of P. intricatus (Walker, 1857) and a distribution map are given. The effusus group is restricted to Borneo and adjacent Laut Island and presently contains 4 species: P. effusus (Distant, 1891), P. gunjii (Satô & Nagai, 1994) stat.nov., P. synavei sp. nov. and P. whiteheadi (Distant, 1889). Trophobiosis observations with the gecko Gehyra mutilata (Wiegmann, 1835) (Reptilia: Squamata: Gekkonidae) and two species of cockroaches (Insecta: Blattodea), one Dorylaea sp. and an unidentified species of Pseudophyllodromiinae, are reported and illustrated for P. whiteheadi; observation with a cockroach, Dorylaea sp., is reported for P. intricatus.

A revision of Platanthera of Asia is presented, which recognises 78 species. Each species description is supplemented by extensive synonymy and a distribution map; all species are illustrated by line drawings. In the general chapters, special importance is given to delineating the generic limit of Platanthera, which is continuously changing. An improved taxonomic system of Platanthera on a global scale is elaborated in connection with existing phylogenetic studies and discussed in detail. The genus is subdivided into five subgenera, two of which are further divided into sections. The possible main routes of transcontinental migrations during the evolution of the genus are speculated upon in a section on ‘biogeographic considerations’. One new species (P. miniangustata), 12 new subgenera and sections, five new combinations at specific and intraspecific ranks and 20 new neo- and lectotypes are included.

A new genus and one new species of Ectrichodiinae are described from Australia. Austrokatanga monteithi, n.gen., n.sp., is distinct from other Ectrichodiinae by a combination of characters including the cylindrical shape of the head, aptery in both sexes, armature of legs, and armature of abdominal sternites in the male. The species is highly polymorphic and shows considerable sexual dimorphism. Digital macrophotographs, scanning electron micrographs, illustrations, and a distribution map are provided.

Six species of the genus Gatzara Navás, 1915 from China are reviewed. One new species Gatzara nigrivena n. sp. is de-scribed and four new combinations, Gatzara angulineura (Yang, 1987), n. comb., Gatzara decorilla (Yang, 1997), n.comb., Gatzara decorosa (Yang, 1988), n. comb., and Gatzara qiongana (Yang, 2002), n. comb., are proposed and thespecies redescribed. Morphological illustrations, a distribution map, and a key to the species of Gatzara from China are provided.
