The genus Cyriocosmus Simon, 1903 is revised based on most types and additional material from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Tobago Island and Venezuela. Two species are newly described from Brazil: Cyriocosmus nogueira-netoi and Cyriocosmus fernandoi. The species Cyriocosmus fasciatus (Mello-Leitão, 1930), formerly synonymized with Cyriocosmus elegans, is revalidated. Metriopelma nigriventris (Mello-Leitão, 1939) and Cyriocosmus butantan Pérez-Miles, 1998 are transferred to Hapalopus Ausserer, 1875, proposing Hapalopus nigriventris (Mello-Leitão, 1939) new combination and Hapalopus butantan (Pérez-Miles, 1998) new combination. The female of Hapalopus butantan is described for the first time. All 11 species of Cyriocosmus are diagnosed and keyed. A cladistic analysis with 28 characters and 19 taxa was carried out. Searches using three phylogenetic packages found a single, totally resolved tree with the same topology.

Ossinissa new genus (Araneae, Pholcidae) is described to place a Canarian pholcid species formerly considered belonging to Spermophorides. The male of the type species, Ossinissa justoi (Wunderlich) new combination, is described for the first time and the female is re-described. This new genus is supported by a revision of the morphological characters of the female, the newly discovered male, and a cladistic analysis.

Deliphrum nepalicum was described without comparisons by Coiffait (1977) based on a female from “Environs de Maharigaan (Jumla District, eastern Nepal). A study of the holotype and additional material revealed that D. nepalicum undoubtedly belongs to the genus Olophrum Erichson, 1839 (see generic characters in Scheerpeltz (1929), Newton et al. (2000), Zanetti (2012) etc.). Thus, a new combination is proposed: Olophrum nepalicum (Coiffait 1977) comb.n. The species is redescribed, distributional map and ecological data are provided. The aedeagus of O. nepalicum is illustrated for the first time.

Six new species of the spider genus Tonsilla Wang & Yin, 1992 are described from southern China: T. jinyunensis sp. nov. (♂♀) from Chongqing, T. jiugongensis sp. nov. (♂♀) from Hubei, T. subtruculenta sp. nov. (♂♀), T. rutunda sp. nov. (♂♀) and T. yueliangensis sp. nov. (♂) from Guizhou and T. subrostrum sp. nov. (♂♀) from Hunan. In addition, T. yanlingensis (Zhang, Yin & Kim, 2000) is redescribed and its male is described here for the first time. Tonsilla subyanlingensis Liu & Xu, 2020 is transferred to Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999, hence the new combination Draconarius subyanlingensis (Liu & Xu, 2020) comb. nov. is established. The female of T. subyanlingensis Liu & Xu, 2020 should be treated as T. yanlingensis (Zhang, Yin & Kim, 2000). Detailed descriptions, photographs of copulatory organs and somatic features, a distribution map and comparisons with closely related species are presented.

Generic concepts in the Testudinaceae (Ascomycotina, Loculoascomycetes) are reviewed with particular emphasis on the sculpturing of the ascospores which has been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the first time. A key to the nine genera accepted in the family is provided of which two are described as new: Ulospora for U. bilgramii comb.nov. (= Zopfia bilgramii D. Hawksw. et al.), the ascospores of which have three to six deep fissures in each cell, and Zopfiofoveola for Z. punctata comb.nov. (= Zopfia punctata D. Hawksw. & C. Booth), with distinctly and regularly foveolate ascospores. One further new combination is made: Rechingeriella boudieri comb.nov. (= Zopfia boudieri Arnaud). The positions of three additional genera referred to the family by earlier authors but which are excluded from it here are also briefly discussed.

A new genus of lichenized fungi of the family Porinaceae is described, known from Costa Rica and Brazil. Flabelloporina Sobreira, M. Cáceres & Lücking is a thus far monospecific genus with an isolated position of its only species in the family, morphologically different from all other genera in Porinaceae. The genus is characterized by the production of numerous, flabelliform squamules on the surface of the thallus, together with black perithecia and transversally septate ascospores (with three septa in the only species). The new combination Flabelloporina squamulifera (Breuss, Lücking & Navarro) Sobreira, M. Cáceres & Lücking is proposed, based on Porina squamulifera Breuss, Lücking & Navarro, and the species is for the first time reported from Brazil.

Types and additional material of 13 genera of Lomechusini from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions are revised. In all, 28 species are (re-)described and/or illustrated, 17 of them new: Orphnebius (Deroleptus) triacuminatus spec. nov. (Thailand) of the O. draco group; O. (D.) gracilis spec. nov. (South India) and O. (D.) protuberatus spec. nov. (South India) of the O. niger group; O. (D.) pertortus spec. nov. (India: West Bengal), O. (D.) migrus spec. nov. (India: Meghalaya), and O.

(India: Meghalaya); Witteia tensa spec. nov. (China: Yunnan). The following new combination and synonymy are established: Pheidologitonetes adesi (Pace, 1998), comb. nov. (ex Zyrastilbus); Drusilla obliqua (Bernhauer, 1916) = D. palata Assing, 2015, syn. nov. Zyrastilbus angkorensis Pace, 2004 is not congeneric with the type species of Zyrastilbus Cameron, 1939; its correct generic assignment (Drusilla?) is currently unknown. An updated catalogue of the 174 described representatives of Orphnebius Motschulsky, 1858 in the East Palaearctic and Oriental regions is provided; the species are grouped according to a recently proposed intrageneric system. Amaurodera Fauvel, 1905 currently includes 53 described species distributed in the southern East Palaearctic and the Oriental regions. Additional records of 46 named and three unnamed species are reported, among them several new country records. The distributions of two Himalayan Orphnebius species are mapped.

The systematic position of Aegeria montis Leech, 1889 and Zhuosesia zhuoxiana Yang, 1977 is discussed. Having studied newly collected material, we transfer A. montis to the genus Chamaesphecia Spuler, 1910, subgenus Chamaesphecia s. str. The male of this species and its genitalia are illustrated for the first time. The host-plant of its larvae is assumed to be a species of Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae).        Zhuosesia Yang, 1977, syn. nov., is shown to be a junior subjective synonym of Chamaesphecia Spuler, 1910 with the new combination of its type species, Chamaesphecia zhuoxiana (Yang, 1977), comb. nov.

First and additional host-plant records for 38 species of Gelechiidae from South Africa and Kenya are presented. An annotated list with brief descriptions of larval biology and known geographical distributions is presented. Three species are described as new: Mesophleps kruegeri sp. nov. (Namibia: Kavango Region and South Africa: Limpopo Province), Istrianis inquilinus sp. nov. (South Africa: North West Province), and Teleiopsis sharporum sp. nov. (South Africa: Limpopo Province). The new combination Istrianis epacria (Bradley, 1965) comb. nov. is proposed. The male genitalia of Hypatima melanecta (Meyrick, 1914) is described for the first time. It is noticed that male hitherto associated with T. commaculata (Meyrick, 1918) in fact refers to T. pundamilia Bidzilya & Mey, 2018. Hypatima stasimodes (Meyrick, 1931), Dichomeris coenulenta (Meyrick, 1927), Dichomeris eustacta Meyrick, 1921, Neotelphusa similella Janse, 1958 and Argophara epaxia Janse, 1963 are recorded for the first time from South Africa, and Istrianis epacria is new for Kenya. The adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated for some species mentioned in paper. The first record of the genus Teleiopsis Sattler, 1960 from South Africa is briefly discussed.
