Lithobius (Ezembius) varioporussp. nov. (Lithobiomorpha, Lithobiidae), recently discovered from Longquanguan Town, Fuping County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, is described. Morphologically it resembles to Lithobius (Ezembius) laevidentata Pei, Ma, Hou, Zhu & Gai, 2015 from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the Tömösváry’s organ, slightly smaller than the adjoining ocelli, no secondary sexual modifications on male tibia 14 and 15, posterior accessory spine of legs 14 and 15 present and the number of coxal pores varying considerably from three to eight. The main morphological characters of the known Chinese species of the subgenusEzembius Chamberlin, 1919 based on adult specimens are presented.

Lithobius (Ezembius) tetraspinussp. n.(Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), recently discovered from Hami City, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, NW China, is described. Morphologically this species resembles L. (E.) sibiricus, Gersfeldt, 1858, but is distinguishable by a different coxal pore formula, absence of accessory spurs on leg 15, morphology of the second article of the female gonopod, and legs 14 plectrotaxy. A table of the main morphological characters of Chinese Lithobius (Ezembius) species is presented.

Himalcercyon Hebauer, 2002 stat. nov. is elevated to genus rank based on the unique form of its mesoventral elevation. The genus is reviewed, redescribed, and illustrated in detail. Two species are recognized: Himalcercyon mirus (Hebauer, 2002) comb. nov. from Nepal and H. franzisp. nov. from Chinese Himalaya (Xizang Autonomous Region). Both species are illustrated and diagnosed. An updated key to the Asian genera of the tribe Megasternini (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Sphaeridiinae) is provided, along with the SEM micrographs of ventral morphology of these genera. New replacement name Oreosternumnom. nov. is proposed for Oreocyon Hebauer, 2002 which is preoccupied by Oreocyon Marsh, 1872 (Mammalia, Oxyenidae) and Oreocyon Krumbiegel, 1949 (Mammalia, Canidae).

A New Species

A new genus with a new species (Jurachresmoda gaskelli gen. et sp. nov.) of Chresmodidae (Insecta: Polyneoptera: Orthopterida) is described and illustrated. They were collected from the Middle Jurassic in Daohugou, Jiulongshan Formation, Inner Mongolia (Nei Mongol Autonomous Region), China. J. gaskelli have fringing hairs on tarsi and a part of tibiae of mid legs. These hairs and leg structures were probably associated with its water-skiing locomotion on freshwater. A high number of tarsomeres, e. g. ultra-articulated tarsi as reported in other species of Chresmodidae, are also found for this new species. But, these true tarsi are mixed with some wrinkles resulted from dehydration and compression during fossilization process. Nymphs of the new species are also described. This is the first time that long and segmented cerci of the nymph are described in Chresmodidae.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Oligodon Fitzinger, 1826, Oligodon nagao sp. nov., is described on the basis of five specimensoriginating from Lang Son and Cao Bang provinces in northern Vietnam, Guangxi Autonomous Region in southernPeople’s Republic of China, and from Khammouane Province in central Laos PDR. This species differs from other speciesof the region by the combination of 15 or 17 dorsal scale rows at midbody, unforked hemipenes, not spinose but withpapillae, entire cloacal plate, a high number of ventrals, a rather short tail and dorsal pattern made of numerous dark,butterfly-shaped blotches. On the basis of the morphology of its hemipenes, Oligodon nagao sp. nov. belongs to the groupof Oligodon cinereus. This new species is compared with other species of the Indochinese Peninsula and China with 15or 17 dorsal scale rows, especially Oligodon joynsoni (Smith, 1917). An updated list of the Oligodon species of this region is provided.

A new species of Cyrtodactylus described from Nyemo County, Xizang Autonomous Region, China is here referred to a new species, Cyrtodactylus zhaoermii sp. nov. It is distinguished from all other Cyrtodactylus by the following characters: dorsal surface of the body with fine granules intermixed with larger sub-conical tubercles arranged into 20 more or less regular rows; proximal subdigital lamellae transversely expanded; 19–20 subdigital lamellae on toe IV; 30–32 midbody ventral scales; most scales in femoral region small, granular, series of 12–14 enlarged femoral scales lacking pores; a series of precloacal pores (4) present in male; tail with distinct segments, large, posteriorly directed tubercles in whorls, numbering nine to ten per caudal annulus, three on each side and three to four on the dorsum, situated at the posterior edge of each annulus; subcaudals not transversely expanded. The new species is the fourth Cyrtodactylus known from Xizang Autonomous Region.

A New Species

Sageretia liuzhouensis, a new species discovered in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, is described and illustrated. This species was found growing in sparse forests or thickets on the top of towering limestone hills with sunny, dry habitats. It is very similar to S. camelliifolia in morphology but differs with pubescent inflorescence rachises and charcoal-gray branches, as well as smaller leaves and shorter petioles. The delimitation of this new species is also supported by phylogenetic analyses based on five DNA loci (ITS, ETS, trnL-trnF, psbA-trnH and petA-psbJ). S. camelliifolia is within a clade separated from the new species and S. thea is more closely related to S. subcaudata and S. rugosa than the new species.
