Rhagovelia medinae sp. nov., of the hambletoni group (angustipes complex), and R. utria sp. nov., of the hirtipes group (robusta complex), are described, illustrated, and compared with similar congeners. Based on the examination of type specimens, six new synonymies are proposed: R. elegans Uhler, 1894 = R. pediformis Padilla-Gil, 2010, syn. nov.; R. cauca Polhemus, 1997 = R. azulita Padilla-Gil, 2009, syn. nov., R. huila Padilla-Gil, 2009, syn. nov., R. oporapa Padilla-Gil, 2009, syn. nov, R. quilichaensis Padilla-Gil, 2011, syn. nov.; and R. gaigei, Drake & Hussey, 1947 = R. victoria Padilla-Gil, 2012 syn. nov. The first record from Colombia is presented for R. trailii (White, 1879), and the distributions of the following species are extended in the country: R. cali Polhemus, 1997, R. castanea Gould, 1931, R. cauca Polhemus, 1997, R. gaigei Drake & Hussey, 1957, R. elegans Uhler, 1894, R. femoralis Champion, 1898, R. malkini Polhemus, 1997, R. perija Polhemus, 1997, R. sinuata Gould, 1931, R. venezuelana Polhemus, 1997, R. williamsi Gould, 1931, and R. zeteki Drake, 1953.

Lasiosina devitata sp. n. is described from Turkey. Specimens were reared from stem of Lepidium latifolium (Brassicaceae). This is the first record of the feeding of Lasiosina larvae on dicotyledon plant. Some characters are added to the description of species of the L. nigriantennata group based on examination of type specimens.

Zyginellini is a smaller tribe in Typhlocybinae. Species in this tribe feed on trees and shrubs, and some species harm economic crops. Examples include as Zyginella mali (Yang) and Zyginella minuta (Yang) which damage apple trees. Members in this tribe usually have bright coloration, distinct patches and spots. Most lack ocelli. Compared with other tribes of Typhlocybinae, the main diagnostic characters of Zyginellini are: vannal veins in hindwing separate apically, only one transverse vein visible and submarginal vein extended directly to vein Cu1, forming one open cell. This tribe is related to Typhlocybini. The Zyginellini leafhopper genus Yangida was erected by Dworakowska (1994) with Yangida basnetti Dworakowska from Sikkim, as its type species. There have been no further reports on this genus. In this paper, we describe the second species, Yangida fasciata sp. nov. from China. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the collections of the Entomological Museum, Northwest A & F University, Yangling, China.

The leafhopper genus Plumosa was erected by Sohi (1977). It belongs to the tribe Erythroneurini of Typhlocybinae with Plumosa emarginata Sohi, 1977 from India as its type species. Until now, there have been no further reports on this genus. Here the genus is reported for the first time from China and a new Chinese species is described and illustrated. The type specimens are deposited to the collection of the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, Guizhou (IEGU) and Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS).

In this study, we describe a new species of the genus Poecilocloeus from Renascença municipality, Paraná State, Brazil. Poecilocloeus renascensis n. sp. inhabits the Atlantic Semideciduous Forest edges of Renascença and adjacent areas, and our study is the first record of this genus from southern Brazil. The species belongs to the group bullatus (Rehn, 1908), and the descriptions are based on morphological characters, mainly from male genitalia. Morphological descriptions are provided together with illustrations emphasizing the most significant diagnostic features of external morphology and male genitalia. Information is given about type specimens, examined material and geographic distribution.

A new species of the caridean shrimp genus Pseudocheles Chace & Brown, 1978 is described from an offshore localityabout 160 km east of the Rio Doce estuary in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Pseudocheles falsapinca sp. nov. is the fourth speciesin the genus, differing from its three congeners, P. enigma Chace & Brown, 1978, P. chacei Kensley, 1983 and P. neutraDe Grave & Moosa, 2004, by the combination of the following features: antennal tooth minute or absent, fifth pleuronwith acute posterior tooth, carpus of third, fourth and fifth pereiopod with robust spiniform seta, coxa of third and fourthpereiopods without acute projection mesially, rostrum with five dorsal teeth, all anterior to post-orbital margin, and thirdmaxilliped with rounded, epipod-like structure. The new species is the deepest species of Pseudocheles reported so far,with both type specimens dredged at a depth range of 68–71 m. Pseudocheles falsapinca sp. nov. also represents the first record of Pseudocheles and the family Pseudochelidae De Grave & Moosa, 2004 for Brazil and the South-West Atlantic.

Euastrum lacustre is reported for Russia for the first time. This alcaliphilic species was found in the periphyton and plankton of three lakes in the Kursk Region (European Russia). A description of morphology, including the relief of cell wall, and habitats where this taxon is found are represented. LM and SEM microphotographs are provided. Morphological differences of E. lacustre from similar species are discussed. New species for region, namely Closterium aciculare, Cosmarium formosulum, C. granatum, C. pseudoinsigne, C. reniforme and Staurastrum pingue, are found in the samples together with E. lacustre.
