The grasshopper genus Podismopsis Zubowsky, 1900 consists of 39 species distributed in Europe (Switzerland, Austria, Montenegro, and Romania), Russia (European part, Siberia, Far East), Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan (Zubowsky, 1900; Lu et al., 2011; Storozhenko, 2021; Cigliano et al., 2021). One of them, Podismopsis gynaemorpha Ikonnikov, 1911, was described from Evseevka village (Russia, Primirskii krai) based on two males (Ikonnikov, 1911). Majority of types of the species described by Ikonnikov are deposited in the collection of the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (Storozhenko, 1990) while a part of type specimens are stored in the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg. I carefully examined both these collections and found that the syntypes of Podismopsis gynaemorpha are lost. Here the neotype of this species is designated, described and illustrated for stability of nomenclature and according to Article 75 of the Code (ICZN, 1999).

The type specimens of the bee genus Hylaeus Fabricius, 1793 described by Ferdinand Morawitz from Asia and deposited in the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University and in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences St. Petersburg, are critically reviewed. Precise information with illustrations of types for 39 taxa is provided. New synonymy is established for Hylaeus incongruus Förster, 1871 (= H. biareolatus Morawitz, 1876, syn. nov.); H. breviceps Morawitz, 1876 (= H. bivittatus Morawitz, 1876, syn. nov.); H. punctiscapus Morawitz, 1876 (= H. citrinipes Morawitz, 1893, syn. nov.); H. dolichocephalus Morawitz, 1876 (=Prosopis heliaca Warncke, 1992, syn. nov.); H. laticeps Morawitz, 1876 (= H. nigritarsis Morawitz, 1876, syn. nov.); H. medialis Morawitz, 1890 (= H. bimaculatus Chen & Xu, 2013, syn. nov.). Lectotypes are here designated for the following six nominal taxa: Hylaeus citrinipes Morawitz, 1893, H. flavipes Morawitz, 1876, H. ibex Morawitz, 1877, H. punctiventris Morawitz, 1876, H. trisignatus Morawitz, 1876, and H. turanicus Morawitz, 1876.

The type specimens of the family Halictidae, described by Ferdinand Morawitz from the collection of Aleksey Fedtschenko deposited in the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University and in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg (Russia), are critically reviewed. Precise information with illustrations of types for 43 taxa is provided. Lectotypes are here designated for the following seven nominal taxa: Halictus aprilinus Morawitz, 1876, H. cingulatus Morawitz, 1876, H. laevinodis Morawitz, 1876, H. limbellus Morawitz, 1876, H. nasica Morawitz, 1876, H. rhynchites Morawitz, 1876 and H. vulgaris Morawitz, 1876.

The paper considers the viewpoint of the author, i.e., the full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Prof. V.I. Osipov, on the problem raised by Prof. V.T. Trofimov, the head of the Department of Engineering and ecological geology at the Moscow State University, in his article published in “Inzhenernaya geologiya” journal, about the losses in engineering geology in the last decades. Both the objective and subjective reasons of this science degradation are mentioned.

The type specimens for names of bee taxa in the subfamilies Rophitinae, Nomiinae, and Nomioidinae of family Halictidae deposited in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) are reviewed. Primary types of 63 taxa are illustrated and detailed information is provided (taxa include 20 described by F. Morawitz; 15 by Yu. Pesenko (one of them with N. Davydova and one with A. Pauly); ten by V. Popov; nine by P. Blüthgen; four by E. Eversmann; three by Yu. Astafurova; one by H. Friese, one by A. Ponomareva). A lectotype is designated for Nomia squamata Morawitz, 1894.

The data are summarized on the type specimens (holotypes, lectotypes, paratypes, paralectotypes) of 19 species in the family Scathophagidae (Diptera) kept at the Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg. The lectotypes are designated for three species, Scatophaga arctica Becker, 1897, S. septentrionalis Becker, 1897, and Scopeuma longinqua Becker, 1915. Acerocnema obscuripes Becker, 1915 is transferred to the genus Nanna Strobl, 1894. Three new synonymies are established: Scathophaga multisetosa (Holmgren, 1883) = Scatophaga arctica Becker, 1897, syn. nov.; Nanna obscuripes (Becker, 1915) = N. indotatum Engelmark, 1999, syn. nov.; Allomyella frigida (Holmgren, 1883) = Microprosopa varitibia Becker, 1897, syn. nov. Both syntypes of Ceratinostoma nudiseta Becker, 1907 are not Scathophagidae but Muscidae possibly belonging to Spilogona Schnabl, 1911. A redescription of Allomyella portenkoi (Stackelberg, 1952) is given.
