Six species of the genus Stenoloba Staudinger, 1892 (S. yunley sp. nov., S. viridibasis sp. nov., S. oculatoides sp. nov., S. viridinivea sp. nov., S. rufosagittoides sp. nov., and S. acutivalva sp. nov.) are described from South China. The new combination Stenoloba brunneola comb. n. for Bryophila brunneola Draudt, 1950 is introduced. Seven species: S. pulla Ronkay, 2001, S. benedeki Ronkay, 2001, S. viridimicta Hampson, 1910, S. lichenosella Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001, S. glauca Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001, S. viridescens Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001 and S. lanceola Ronaky, 2001, previously known from North Vietnam and North India are reported from China for the first time. The male genitalia of S. basiviridis Draudt, 1950 and the female genitalia of S. lichenosella Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001 are described and illustrated for the first time. The generic name Lepidopyrga Warren, 1914 is synonymized (syn. n.) with Stenoloba. The taxon S. glauca kuytekparki Sohn & Han, 2005 is synonymized (syn. n.) with S. glauca. Most species are illustrated with imagines, male and female genitalia. A checklist of Stenoloba species in China is presented.

The E. ovina group of species is proposed here to include Edessa ovina Dallas, 1851 from Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina (new records) and Guyana; E. impura Bergroth, 1891 from Brazil and Argentina (new record); E. sahlbergii Stål, 1872 restricted to Brazil; and E. graziae sp. nov. from Brazil and Argentina. The E. ovina group can be identified by the apex of the second pair of wings narrowing distally and by a tumid area on the ventral surface of the pygophore (male genitalia) projected posteriorly. Descriptions, measurements, and illustrations of the metasternal process, external and internal genitalia of male and female are provided. A map with the distribution of the species is presented. The holotype of Edessa ovina is designated here. Edessa argali Breddin, 1903 is considered a junior synonym of E. impura. Females of E. ovina and E. impura, and male of E. sahlbergii are described for the first time.

Issus kabylicus Dlabola, 1989 is recorded for the first time from Tunisia and I. vaucheri Gnezdilov, 2017 – from Spain. I. kabylicus is redescribed and illustrated. Male and female genitalia of I. coleoptratus (Fabricius, 1781) are described and illustrated based on the specimens from Germany (type locality). Relationships of African Issus species are discussed. Close relationships of I. climacus Fieber, 1876 to Madeiran and Canarian Issus species are revealed.

Sarothrocera lowii White, 1846 is the only species belonging to the genus Sarothrocera (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae).  Both the sexes of S. lowii were collected from Medziphema, Nagaland, northeastern India, during surveys in 2016.  Earlier, Ghate et al. (2012) and Kumawat et al. (2015) reported this species from Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, respectively, based on female specimens.  This paper describes detailed characters of male S. lowii with comments on the female, along with the genitalia descriptions of both sexes for the first time.  The species is a new report from Nagaland, India, adding to the known distribution.

The rivorum species-group of the genus Leucania (Noctuidae: Noctuinae: Leucaniini) is circumscribed and taxonomically revised, with the inclusion of three species. New taxonomic hypotheses were achieved through the morphological analysis of about 250 specimens allied to the type material of L. rivorum Guenée, 1852; L. pampa Schaus, 1894, stat. rev.; and Neleucania multistria Köhler, 1947, stat. rev., the last two resurrected from synonymy with L. rivorum and Dargida lithophilus (Butler, 1882), respectively. Adult habitus and morphology of the genitalia support the transfer of Neleucania multistria to Leucania, comb. nov. Lectotypes for L. rivorum and L. pampa are designated to ensure nomenclatural stability and recognizability of these taxa. Additionally, the similar, rust-colored species Leucania chejela (Schaus, 1921) is compared with species of the rivorum species-group, and is recorded from South America for the first time. All species of the rivorum group are re-described, with high-resolution images of taxonomic characters of the adults (head, patagium, and male and female genitalia), and updated distributional maps presented.
