A little known tachinid genus, Metadrinomyia Shima, is revised based on four East Asian species including two new to science: M. flavifrons sp. nov. and M. xanthokolos sp. nov. The majority of the specimens used in this study were collected from low vegetation in the foothills of mountains in South Korea. The new species can be clearly distinguished from their congeners by their pruinosity, chaetotaxy and genitalic structures. A key, descriptions, photographs, and illustrations of the male genitalic structures are provided and the phylogenetic relationships among the species are investigated.

Two East Asian Lomariopsis (Lomariopsidaceae, Polypodiales) species, Lomariopsis moorei and Lomariopsis longini, which were previously misidentified as L. spectabilis, are here described as new species based on evidence from morphological characters and a molecular phylogeny. The two species differ from the three other described species in East Asia by their venation, pinna shapes, and perine morphology. A phylogeny based on a combined dataset of three chloroplast regions (rbcL+ rps4-trnS + trnL-L-F) showed that L. moorei and L. longini each formed a well-supported monophyletic group which was distantly related to both L. spectabilis and the other morphologically similar East Asian species, L. boninensis.

Prionocyphon costipennis sp. nov. and P. macrodascilloides sp. nov. are described from North Taiwan. Orientoprionocyphon Klausnitzer is a new synonym of Mescirtes Motschulsky. Prionocyphon herthae Klausnitzer, Prionocyphon laosensis Yoshitomi et Satô, Prionocyphon rutai Klausnitzer, Prionocyphon ruthsteuerae Klausnitzer, Prionocyphon weigeli Klausnitzer, and Prionocyphon yoshitomii Klausnitzer are transferred to Mescirtes. Prionocyphon picigrandis is a new substitute name for Cyphon grande Pic (nec Cyphon grandis Tournier). Prionocyphon minusculus Klausnitzer is transferred to Mescirtes. Prionocyphon ovalis Kiesenwetter is reported from China for the first time. A key to the genera of Scirtidae with modified antennae, and a key to the East and Southeast Asian species of Prionocyphon are included. A catalogue of Mescirtes, Prionocyphon and Prionoscirtes inhabiting East and Southeast Asia is presented.

The Palaearctic gelechiid genus Psoricoptera Stain ton, 1854 is revised. Two previously described species, gibbosella (Zeller) and speciosella Teich are recognized based on differences in genitalia; both have a trans-Palaearctic distribution. Their distinction is supported by differences in the morphology and biology of the early stages. Chelaria triorthias (Meyrick) and Lita lepigreella Lucas are placed in synonymy with gibbosella (syn. n.). Two new species P. latignathosa sp. n. P. kawabei sp. n. are described from E. Asia. Infraspecific variation in the genitalia of Psoricoptera is discussed.

Revision of herbarium specimens from Asia revealed the existence of two previously unnoticed species. We describe two new species of Carex from Himalayan eastern Asia. Carex barbayaki is closely related to C. dielsiana (section Decorae). Carex herbacoeli seems to be allied to C. fuliginosa (section Aulocystis). Pictures are provided.

Two new species of Scolytinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are described from Jammu and Kashmir, Pseudothysanoes kashmirica sp. nov. and Sphaerotrypes montanus sp. nov. These discoveries mark the first records of the genera Pseudothysanoes Blackman,1920 from South Asia and Sphaerotrypes Blandford, 1894 from the Northwestern Himalayan region. A discussion on the biology of the new species together with a complete key to the known species of Sphaerotrypes from South Asia are provided.

Mysid crustaceans of the genus Rhopalophthalmus Illig, 1906 (Crustacea: Mysida) are distributed in the eastern Atlantic through the Indo-West Pacific. In this paper, species of Rhopalophthalmus recorded from eastern Asian waters are reviewed on the basis of materials collected from south-eastern Asia to Japanese water. The taxonomic analysis led to the recognition of six species from the region, including three new species. Rhopalophthalmus phyllodus Murano, 1988 was regarded as a junior synonym of R. egregius Hansen, 1910. The identity of R. macropsis Pillai, 1964 has been controversial, and in this study, we recognised it as valid. However, specimens with remarkably stout and few spinose setae on the telson, often reported as either R. macropsis or R. longipes Ii, 1964 were determined to be a new species, R. armiger. In addition, two new species, R. hastatus and R. philippinensis, were reported from south-eastern Asian waters. A key to the 25 currently recognised world species is provided.

AbstractThree species complexes (pallidiventris, chlorea, and geniculata) of Pristiphora Latreille are recognized from China. Two new species of Pristiphora from Nanking (Nanching), China, are described: P. sinensis n. sp., which is closely related to the Holarctic species P. geniculata (Hartig); and P. nankingensis n. sp., which belongs in the chlorea complex with P. fausta (Hartig), P. chlorea (Norton), and P. borneensis Forsius. P. formosana Rohwer and P. sauteri Rohwer from Taiwan (Formosa), together with P. zella Rohwer, P. pallidiventris (Fallén), and P. denudata Konow, belong in the pallidiventris complex. The lancets of the southeast Asian species of Pristiphora not illustrated by Benson (1963) are shown. Keys to adult females of species in the pallidiventris and chlorea complexes, and the separation of adult males and females of P. geniculata and P. sinensis n. sp., are presented. P. denudata is considered to be a valid species, not a subspecies of P. pallidiventris.
