The species belonging to the weevil genus Rhinocyllus are studied. A new species, Rhinocyllus alpinus sp. nov. living on the inflorescences of Cirsium alsophilum (Pollini) Soldano (Asteraceae), is described from the central Italian Alps. A new subgenus, Rhinolarinus subgen. nov., is created for this new species. The following new synonymy is proposed: Curculio inquilinus Gyllenhal, 1827 syn. nov. of Rhinocyllus conicus (Froelich, 1792). Lectotypes for Curculio inquilinus Gyllenhal, 1827, Rhinocyllus olivieri Gyllenhal, 1835 and Rhinocyllus oblongus Capiomont, 1873 are designated. Due to lack of type specimens and information subsequently to its description, Rhinocyllus turkestanicus Desbrochers des Loges, 1900 is considered as species incertae sedis. Keys to the subgenera and to the species of Rhinocyllus s. str. are provided and taxonomical differences are illustrated.Key words: Rhinocyllus, Rhinolarinus, new subgenus, new species, Cirsium, Italy

The Palaearctic species of the genus Trichardis Hermann, 1906 are reviewed. A new species, T. lehri sp. nov., is described.

The new species, Bulbophyllum manhdatii (B. sect. Brachyantha) discovered in Da Lat Plateau, Lam Dong Province (southern Vietnam) is described here. This new species is close to B. pumilio but clearly differs in densely crowded pseudobulbs and their shape, shorter inflorescence, lateral sepals forming a narrow acute tube slightly flattened at the base, lip without median keel, and longer stelidia. In addition, a new national record, B. seidenfadenii, from the same section is also reported from the first time from North Vietnam.

A new species of Draconarius, D. exilis sp. nov., from China is described. The species has close affinities to D. incertus Wang, 2003 (= D. parabrunneus Wang, 2003, new synonymy) and D. pseudobrunneus Wang, 2003 forming the newly proposed incertus-group of Draconarius. Species of this group share the following characters: the absence of epigynal teeth, the wrinkled anterior atrium of epigynum, the small and anteriorly extended spermathecae of female, and the short cymbial furrow (less than half cymbial length), the short embolus, the prolaterally originated, bifurcated conductor, and the simple, non spoon-shaped median apophysis.

A new self-pollinating species, Epipactis euxina, is described from Gelendzhik District of Krasnodar Territory. The species is closely related to E. persica from which it differs by its remarkable long pedicel, distinctly longer epichile, and indistinct or absent viscidium. It grows in sparse pine forest mixed with oak, on calcareous soils. Four other taxa collected in different localities of Krasnodar Territory are new for the North Caucasus: E. krymmontana, E. leptochila subsp. leptochila, E. leptochila subsp. neglecta, and E. muelleri. A new synonymy is proposed for E. persica = E. helleborine subsp. transcaucasica. An updated key to the species of the genus Epipactis in the North Caucasus is provided. The lectotype of E. muelleri is designated.

The genus Aspidistra Ker Gawler (1822: 628) is represented in tropical and subtropical SE Asia by more than 160 species. It has the highest diversity in southern China and northern Vietnam (Tillich 2005, 2014, Tillich & Averyanov 2012, Vislobokov et al. 2013). In Vietnam, more than 50 species are known: many species have been discovered from the limestone regions in North Vietnam, while about 21 species are found from sandstone forests in Central and South Vietnam (Gagnepain 1934, Bogner & Arnautov 2004, Bräuchler & Ngoc 2005, Averyanov & Tillich 2012, 2013, 2016a, 2016b, Averyanov et al. 2016, Tillich 2005, 2014, Tillich & Averyanov 2008, Tillich et al. 2007, Leong-Škorničková et al. 2014, Vislobokov 2015, Vislobokov et al. 2013, 2014b, 2014c, 2016a, 2016b, Lý & Tillich 2016). During extensive floristic surveys in Central Vietnam in 2016, several interesting specimens of Aspidistra were collected by the first author. The critical examination of these specimens and study of literature for Aspidistra in Vietnam and neighbouring countries allowed to evidence several new taxa, two of which have been recently described: A. averyanovii Lý & Tillich (2016: 54) and A. parviflora Lý & Tillich (2016: 56). In the present paper, we describe a further new species from Cà Đam mountains, Quảng Ngãi Province, namely Aspidistra cadamensis.

Abstract Pipistrelloid bats are among the most poorly known bats in Africa, a status no doubt exacerbated by their small size, drab brown fur and general similarity in external morphology. The systematic relationships of these bats have been a matter of debate for decades, and despite some recent molecular studies, much confusion remains. Adding to the confusion has been the recent discovery of numerous new species. Using two mitochondrial genes, we present a phylogeny for this group that supports the existence of three main clades in Africa: Pipistrellus, Neoromicia and the recently described Parahypsugo. However, the basal branches of the tree are poorly supported. Using an integrative taxonomic approach, we describe a new species of Pipistrellus sp. nov. from West Africa, which has been cited as Pipistrellus cf. grandidieri in the literature. We demonstrate that it is not closely related to Pipistrellus grandidieri from East Africa, but instead is sister to Pipistrellus hesperidus. Furthermore, the species Pi. grandidieri appears to be embedded in the newly described genus Parahypsugo, and is therefore better placed in that genus than in Pipistrellus. This has important taxonomic implications, because a new subgenus (Afropipistrellus) described for Pi. grandidieri predates Parahypsugo and should therefore be used for the entire “Parahypsugo” clade. The Upper Guinea rainforest zone, and particularly the upland areas in the south-eastern Guinea—northern Liberia border region may represent a global hotspot for pipistrelloid bats and should receive increased conservation focus as a result.

The taxonomic position of Scythris pangalactis and its synonymy with S. pelinaula is discussed. A new species is describedfrom SE Iran, S. tridentata Passerin d’Entrèves & Roggero sp. nov. The S. tridentata species-group is established with the redescription of S. pelinaula. A lectotype for S. pangalactis is selected.
