As a result of our investigation in Lengguru area, Kaimana, West Papua, Indonesia, 6 species belonging to 2 genera of macrochelid mites(Acari: Gamasida: Macrochelidae) were collected from body surface of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae). Of these, one is undescribed species Macrocheles kaimanaensis sp. nov., and Macrocheles hallidayiWalter & Krantz, 1986is new record from Papua and West Papua (Indonesian parts of New Guinea Island).Male and deutonymph of Holostaspella rosichoni Hartini & Takaku, 2006 originally described from Papua were recorded for the first time. The remaining three species were M. amaliae Hartini, 2008, M. dispar (Berlese, 1910) and M. waigeoensis Hartini, 2008, which were previously collected from Raja Ampat, West Papua, and they are new to location in West Papua.       In total, 18 macrochelid species of 3 genera, including the results of the present study, have been recorded from New Guinea Island. Of these 10 species are endemic to New Guinea Island, and some are also distributed in Australia. So, macrochelid mite fauna of the island is clearly different from Indonesian fauna. Besides, macrochelids in the island tend to have characteristic patterns in some morphological features, e.g., 27 or 29 paris of dorsal setae, dinstinct pilose or plumose dorsal setae, and so on. Key words: Indonesia, Kaimana, Macrochelid mite, New Guinea Island, West Papua

Hitherto, the panurgine genus Liphanthus Reed 1894 has been thought to have only a single species with two, as opposed to three, submarginal cells. Here we describe an additional fifteen species with two submarginal cells. These new species are: L. jenamro Mir Sharifi & Packer, L. sapos Mir Sharifi & Packer, L. domeykoi Packer, L. discolor Mir Sharifi & Packer, L. centralis Mir Sharifi & Packer, L. molavi Mir Sharifi & Packer (all of the above are from Chile), L. abotorabi Mir Sharifi & Packer, L. cochabambensis Mir Sharifi & Packer (both from Bolivia), L. fritzi Mir Sharifi & Packer, L. amblayensis Mir Sharifi & Packer (both from Argentina), L. ancashensis Mir Sharifi & Packer (from Peru), L. tregualemensis Packer (from Chile), L. yrigoyeni Packer, L. sparsipunctus Packer (both from Argentina) and L. aliavenus Packer (from Chile). Only L. tregualemensis readily fits within any of the previously described subgenera—Liphanthus (Leptophanthus) Ruz and Toro 1983. Liphanthus aliavenus is known from two specimens, one with three and one with two submarginal cells whereas L. molavi has one individual with two submarginal cells on one forewing and three on the other while all other specimens have two submarginal cells on each forewing. We verified that none of these new species are merely two submarginal celled variants of species with three submarginal cells (such intraspecific variation arises also in some other bees) by i) comparing each of the new species with all keys, figures and descriptions of all Liphanthus species, ii) comparisons with holotypes and/or paratypes of most of the described species and iii) surveys of the specimens of undescribed species with three submarginal cells in our collection. None of the new species seem closely related to L. (Neoliphanthis) bicellularis Ruz and Toro 1983, the only previously described Liphanthus species with two submarginal cells. It is the second submarginal crossvein that is lost in all species except L. aliavenus in which the first submarginal cross vein is lost. DNA barcode data are presented for some of the species. Some interesting morphological features associated with the penis valves are described and discussed. The genus is recorded from Bolivia for the first time.

The characters of male genitalia are reported for the first time. The dorsal habitus, head, male genitalia, and other diagnostic morphological features are illustrated.

In this study, the following three species of Lygaeoidea were recorded from Turkey: Emblethis solitarius Jakovlev, 1882; Orsillodes longirostris Puton, 1884 (both Rhyparochromidae) and Horvathiolus kiritshenkoi kiritshenkoi Josifov, 1965 (Lygaeidae). Among them E. solitarius Jakovlev, 1881 was recorded from Turkey for the first time and additional data on the distribution of H. kiritshenkoi kiritshenkoi and O. longirostris previously known only from one or two localities from Turkey was added. Horvathiolus kiritshenkoi kiritshenkoi was redescribed and new diagnostic characters were added. Photographs of macropterous form of H. kiritshenkoi kiritshenkoi and adult forms of the other two species were given. Supplementary material of Adelphophylus oenderi Çerçi, Koçak & Tezcan, 2019 (Miridae: Phylinae) was also reported. Key words: Lygaeoidea, Lygaeidae, Rhyparochromidae, Miridae, new record, redescription, Turkey

Previous surveys of the reef-associated ichthyofauna of the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua, Indonesia recorded a total of 1,320 species of reef fishes, including 271 species of Gobiidae. A recent survey focused on the cryptic gobies of Raja Ampat resulted in 36 new records (including nine species of both Trimma and Eviota). Sixteen of the new records are currently undescribed species, with seven of these identified as Raja Ampat endemics, while the remaining nine species are also known from localities outside Raja Ampat in the western Pacific. Five species previously recorded from the area have been re-identified, two of them representing undescribed species, and a new record from the literature has been added. This brings the total number of reef fishes known from Raja Ampat waters to 1,357, of which 308 belong to the Gobiidae. The number of species (including the undescribed taxa) apparently endemic to the Bird’s Head Peninsula of West Papua now totals 33.
