Abstract Stenopelmus rufinasus, a North American weevil introduced to Europe along with the invasive aquatic fern Azolla filiculoides, has been recorded from Poland for the first time. Its locality is a natural oxbow lake of the River Odra in Wrocław, the only city in Poland where A. filiculoides has been repeatedly recorded over the last dozen years. The diagnostic characters of this weevil species, its biology, current distribution in Europe and its prospects in Poland are discussed.

Greenidea psidii van der Goot, 1916 is registered by the first time in Brazil. It was found associated with Psidium guajava L. in Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo States, and with Psidium cattleianum Sabine in the city of Curitiba, Paraná. A brief comparative synopsis and pictures of the main diagnostic characters are given for this species and for Greenidea ficicola Takahashi, 1921, which was also recently found in Brazil, collected on Ficus benjamina (L.) in Paraná and Santa Catarina, and on Ficus microcarpa L. in São Paulo State.

The United States fauna of the genus Ittys (Trichogrammatidae: Paracentrobiini) is revised for the first time. This revision includes a redescription of the genus, redescriptions of the named North American species with illustrations of diagnostic characters. The genus Ittys contains three described North American species which are all considered synonyms of the widespread Ittys ceresarum (Ashmead). Four new species from the United States I. californica n. sp., I. infuscata n. sp., I. macfarlandi n. sp. and I. inermis n. sp. are described as new.

The 'cosmopolitan' lumbricid earthworm Dendrobaena pygmaea (Savigny, 1826) is reported for the first time from Asia, from the campus of Yokohama National University, Japan. It is a small detritivorous 'litter species' or 'humus feeder' found to have a simple intestinal typhlosole. Here it is briefly re-described, and its taxonomy and previously known distribution (in Europe, North Africa, North and South America) are discussed. A figure is provided. As Yokohama port was opened for foreign trade shortly after Commodore Perry's visit in 1853, the incursion of this species is probably only within the last 150 years. It is not considered to pose any particular environmental risk.

Larval and pupal stages have been associated and are described for western North American species in the caddisfly genera Pseudostenophylax and Philocasca. Diagnostic structures of the adults are described where they are necessary for a clear definition of the species.In the genus Pseudostenophylax, the larva of P. edwardsi (Banks) has been associated. It is described and shown to be identical with that designated by previous workers as Limnephilid Genus A. The diagnostic characters of the female genitalia in this species are illustrated for the first time. Observations on the habitat of this species are offered.In the genus Philocasca, larvae and pupae are described for two species, and the larva of a third, unassociated to species, is assigned to this genus and described. The rearing of a species not previously known, and here described in all except the egg stage, raises to five the number known in Philocasca. To bring the diagnoses for all of these species into a consistent form the holotype males of all have been reexamined, illustrated, and comparatively described. Females are associated and described for three species, representing the first information on the females in this genus. Diagnostic keys are provided for the identification of males, females, and larvae, insofar as these are known. New distributional records are provided for certain of the species but members of the genus as a whole must be regarded as extremely localized in distribution.

Species of the genus Homolobus Förster, 1862 in northern Iran were taxonomically studied. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps from March to November of 2010 and 2011. Two species, Homolobus infumator (Lyle, 1914) and Homolobus truncator (Say, 1829) were collected and identified. The former was recorded for the first time in Iran. Diagnostic characters and geographical distribution of the species are briefly discussed. An illustrated key is provided for identification of the Iranian species.
