AbstractThe genus Saltisedes Kubota, 1944 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Tmesiphorini) is redefined and three new species are described and illustrated: S. hainanensis Yin and Nomura, new species (China), S. kojimai Nomura and Yin, new species (Japan), and S. yahiroi Nomura and Yin, new species (Malaysia). Saltisedes brunneus Kubota, 1944 (Japan), the only previously known species is redescribed. Stethotaphrus Newton and Chandler is placed as a junior synonym of Saltisedes, the placement results in the following new combinations: Saltisedes clavatus (Raffray, 1882), new combination, Saltisedes hamotoides (Schaufuss, 1882), new combination, Saltisedes javanicus (Raffray, 1882), new combination, Saltisedes longispina (Raffray, 1903), new combination, and Saltisedes weiri (Chandler, 2001), new combination. A list of known Saltisedes species is included and a key to the species from continental Asia and Japan is presented.

Three new species, Demicryptochironomus (Irmakia) retusus, Microchironomus brochus, and Parachironomus lobus are described and figured as males. Demicryptochironomus (Demicryptochironomus) asamaprimus Sasa et Hirabayashi, D. (D.) chuzequartus Sasa, D. (D.) ginzancedeus Sasa et Suzuki, D. (D.) uresicarinus Sasa, and Demicryptochironomus clarilatus (Guha et Chaudhuri) are re-examined based on type material. Cryptotendipes inawabeceus Sasa, Kitami et Suzuki, C. tamacutus Sasa and Parachironomus harunasecundus Sasa are transferred to Demicryptochironomus as new combinations. Parachironomus inageheus Sasa, Kitami et Suzuki is placed as a junior synonym of Demicryptochironomus ginzancedeus Sasa et Suzuki. The relationships of some genera within the Harnischia complex are discussed. A key to the males of Demicryptochironomus is presented.

Taxonomic Studies

Taxonomic evidence of 17 species of Eudorylini occurring in the extra-European part of the Palaearctic and/or in the Oriental Region is presented. Among the material, three new taxa are described as new to science: Claraeola perpaucisquamosa Kehlmaier spec. nov. from China, Dasydorylas gradus Kehlmaier spec. nov. from Israel and Eudorylas bipertitus Kehlmaier spec. nov. from Israel. Lectotypes for Pipunculus nitidifrons Becker, 1900 and Pipunculus oppletus Collin, 1941 are designated. Two new synonymies are proposed [syn. nov.]: Pipunculus confusoides Lamb, 1922 as junior synonym of P. nitidifrons Becker, 1900 and Claraeola koreana Skevington, 2001 as junior synonym of P. oppletus Collin, 1941. Furthermore, the following new generic combinations are introduced (partly redescribed and figured) [comb. nov.]: Claraeola colossus (Hardy, 1972), Claraeola conjuncta (Collin, 1949), Claraeola discors (Hardy, 1966), Claraeola koreana (Kozánek & Kwon, 1991), Claraeola oppleta (Collin, 1941), Claraeola palgongsana (Kozánek, Suh & Kwon, 2003), Claraeola robusta (Kozánek, Suh & Kwon, 2003), Clistoabdominalis nitidifrons (Becker, 1900), Clistoabdominalis sinaiensis (De Meyer, 1995), Clistoabdominalis subruralis (Kozánek & Kwon, 1991), Clistoabdominalis uniformis (Brunetti, 1917), Clistoabdominalis uzbekistanus (Kozánek, 1988). A replacement name had to be selected for Claraeola koreana Skevington, 2001: 435 [Preocc. Kozánek & Kwon, 1991a]: Claraeola paektusana Kehlmaier, 2005 nom. nov.. Also, the male of Eudorylas mongolorum Kuznetzov, 1990 is redescribed and its genitalia figured, as are the male genitalia of Claraeola adventitia (Kertész, 1912).

(from Deltocephalus (Recilia)). All other species of Recilia are placed in Maiestas Distant, 1917, resulting in several new combinations (see species lists under Maiestas) and the following new junior synonyms of Maiestas: Togacephalus Matsumura 1940 syn. nov., Inazuma Ishihara, 1953, syn. nov., Inemadara Ishihara, 1953, syn. nov., and Insulanus Linnavuori, 1960a, syn. nov.

The species of Parmotrema with salazinic acid were revised, based on the types of the accepted names, as well as their synonyms. Descriptions for 66 species are given and the synonymy, chemistry, distribution and taxonomic affinities of each species discussed. Three new species are described: Parmotrema austromaculatum sp. nov., P. bifidum sp. nov. and P. clercianum sp. nov. One new combination in Parmelinella is made, P. afrocetrata comb. nov., as well as 13 new combinations in Parmotrema: P. acanthifolium comb. nov., P. concors comb. nov., P. foliolosum comb. nov., P. granulare comb. nov., P. lividotessellatum comb. nov., P. magnum comb. nov., P. maximum comb. nov., P. nudum comb. nov., P. petropoliense comb. nov., P. radiatum comb. nov., P. reterimulosum comb. nov., P. sieberi comb. nov. and P. warmingii comb. nov. One new name, Parmotrema elixii nom. nov. is proposed for Rimelia pustulata. Two lectotypifications are made: Parmotrema erubescens and P. ruminatum. Twelve taxa remain without definite status and are included in the nomina inquirenda.

Heteroglenea Gahan, 1897 is reinstated from the synonyms of Glenea (sensu stricto) Newman, 1842, and is redefined. Four taxa are transferred to Heteroglenea: H. fissilis (Breuning, 1953) comb. nov., H. bastiensis (Breuning, 1956) comb. nov., H. momeitensis (Breuning, 1956) comb. nov. and H. mediodiscoprolongata (Breuning, 1964) comb. nov. Glenea mimoluctuosa Breuning, 1968 is considered a junior synonym of H. mediodiscoprolongata (Breuning, 1964). Glenea (G.) palawana Breuning, 1956, G. (G.) guadalcanalana Breuning, 1958, and G. (G.) hamabovola Hayashi, 1975, are considered junior synonyms of H. glechoma (Pascoe, 1867). Heteroglenea vicinalis Lin et Yang sp. nov. from Nepal and India, H. gemella Lin et Yang sp. nov. from Nepal and H. dolosa Lin et Yang sp. nov. from Laos are described. Heteroglenea fissilis and H. mediodiscoprolongata are newly recorded from China. Photographs of habitus and terminalia and a key to the nine valid species of Heteroglenea are presented.

Three new species of Otostigmus Porat, 1876 from Brazilian Atlantic Forest are described. Otostigmus beckeri sp. n. andO. lanceolatus sp. n. are described from the state of Bahia and O. giupponii sp. n. from the state of Espírito Santo. InBrazil, the otostigmine scolopendrid genus Otostigmus comprises 22 species. A summary of Brazilian Otostigmus speciesis presented with new distribution records, taxonomic remarks when appropriate and an identification key. Otostigmus sul-catus Meinert, 1886 is recorded for the first time from Brazil; the Andean Otostigmus silvestrii Kraepelin 1903, previouslyrecorded from Brazil, is here considered not to be present in this country. Eight nominal species are regarded here as newsynonyms. Five of them—Otostigmus pradoi Bücherl, 1939, O. longistigma Bücherl, 1939, O. longipes Bücherl, 1939,O. langei Bücherl, 1946 and O. dentifusus Bücherl, 1946—are based on females of O. tibialis Brölemann, 1902. O. latipesBücherl, 1954 is conspecific with and is considered a junior synonym of O. sulcatus Meinert, 1886; O. limbatus diminutusBücherl, 1946 is a junior synonym of O. limbatus Meinert, 1886 and O. fossulatus Attems, 1928 is a junior synonym of O. goeldii Brölemann, 1898. A lectotype is designated for O. goeldii.
