Celaenorrhinus pyrrha de Nicéville, 1889, a rare species of Hesperiidae previously known to be distributed from northeastern India to Indochina, is reported from southwestern Yunnan and southwestern Chongqing, China. A 658 bp COI gene sequence of this species is published for the first time. Although Chongqing is obviously isolated from the main distribution range, morphological characters of the specimens from this locality do not indicate a subspecies differentiation. Another rare taxon, C. munda munda (Moore, 1884), is also recorded from China for the first time based upon a male specimen from Cuona County in the Tibet Autonomous Region. This is the second specimen of C. munda from China, over 100 years after the holotype of C. munda joka Evans, 1949. The genitalia of both species are illustrated and described. Some taxonomic notes and a distribution map are provided as well.

Three species of the genus Miagrammopes O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1870 are described from China, including two new species, M. rutundus Liang & Xu, n. sp. from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and M. auriculatus Cai & Xu, n. sp. from Tibet Autonomous Region, and one known species, M. bifurcatus Dong, Yan, Zhu & Song, 2004. The female of M. bifurcatus is described for the first time. Both detailed illustration and a distribution map of the three species are provided.

Verbascum oreophilum Koch var. oreophilum and Verbascum cheiranthifolium var. asperulum (Boiss.) Murbeck (Scrophulariaceae) are reported and illustrated for the first time from North-West of Iran. The diagnostic morphological characters from closely related taxa are discussed, and a distribution map of these taxa is provided for Iran.

Faberia is a perennial herbaceous member of Asteraceae that is mainly distributed in central and southwestern China. Nuclear (ITS) and plastid (psbA–trnH, rbcL, matK, and trnL–F) sequences representing five Faberia species were analyzed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference, all of which strongly supported the monophyly of Faberia. Faberia nanchuanensis, F. cavaleriei, and F. faberi from central China form a well-supported clade. Additionally, F. sinensis and F. thibetica from southwestern China also form a well-supported clade. Incongruence between nuclear and plastid fragments was interpreted as hybridization or limited character evolution in the plastid DNA. Faberia may have descended from hybridization between Lactucinae and Crepidinae. Besides phylogenetic results, Faberia nanchuanensis is recorded for the first time from Hunan Province, and F. sinensis from the Tibet Autonomous Region.

This paper describes or redescribes 25 species of crab spiders of the genus Lysiteles (Araneae: Thomisidae) from Yunnan Province, China, including: 12 new species (L. arcuatus sp. nov., L. auriculatus sp. nov., L. clavellatus sp. nov., L. conflatus sp. nov., L. corrugus sp. nov., L. curvatus sp. nov., L. distortus sp. nov., L. guoi sp. nov., L. spirellus sp. nov., L. subdianicus sp. nov., L. transversus sp. nov.and L. uniprocessus sp. nov.); 3 new records for China (L. himalayensis Ono, 1979; L. niger Ono, 1979 and L. punctiger Ono, 2001); and 10 species previously known from China (L. ambrosii Ono, 2001, L. bhutanus Ono, 2001, L. conicus Tang, Yin, Peng, Ubick & Griswold, 2007, L. davidi Tang, Yin, Peng,Ubick & Griswold, 2007, L. dentatus Tang, Yin, Peng, Ubick & Griswold, 2007, L. dianicus Song & Zhao, 1994, L. kunmingensis Song & Zhao, 1994, L. maius Ono, 1979, L. saltus Ono, 1979, and L. torsivus Zhang, Zhu & Tso, 2006). The males of L. punctiger and L. dianicus are described here for the first time. Of these 25 Lysiteles species, 24 were collected from the Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan Province. Detailed morphological characters, distribution map, photos and illustrations of the habitus and genital organs are given to each species except for the five ones reported in the paper by Tang et al. (2007) (L. ambrosii, L. bhutanus, L. conicus, L. davidi and L. dentatus). All species are described in alphabetic order. The key to species of the genus Lysiteles from Yunnan Province is presented.

Ganoderma is a cosmopolitan genus of fungi with species distributed in temperate and tropical regions. Species of Ganoderma in living Leguminosae were observed in Park de la Salud in Pance, Cali, Colombia and we record G. multiplicatum for the first time from Colombia. A distribution map of this genus in the Neotropical region is presented.
