Three specimens of Bactrodesmium were collected on dead branches of unidentified plants from subtropical forests in Jiangxi, China. Two represent new species: B. chinense is distinguished by its ellipsoidal to broadly fusiform 9–11-euseptate verrucose reddish brown conidia with pale brown to subhyaline end cells; B. lushanense is characterized by its variably shaped (obovoid, clavate, ellipsoid) verrucose dark brown to black conidia with 3–6 dark-banded eusepta and paler basal cells. The third specimen represents, B. novageronense, a new record for China. The three species are described, illustrated, and compared with similar taxa.

Some regions, such as the Northeast Region of Brazil, are still severely understudied and the trichopteran fauna of this region is not entirely known, mainly in areas from Cerrado and Caatinga biomes. Currently, 25 species have been reported from Piauí State, but most of these records are concentrated from one locality. This study aimed to update the knowledge of Trichoptera diversity in this state, including the description of a new species and new geographic records for the Northeast region and Brazil. The samples were collected in seven municipalities, using various traps. Specimens were also received from the municipality of Bom Jesus. Thirty-two species were added for Trichoptera fauna of Piauí, 14 of these represent new records for Northeast Brazil; furthermore, Neotrichia palma Flint 1982 is a new record for Brazil. Additionally, a new species, Cernotina longa sp. nov., is describe and illustrate, being the third nominal record of the genus for the Caatinga biome. Thus, with the contribution of this study, 57 species, 20 genera and seven families of caddisflies are known for Piauí State.

A new species and a new record species of xanthid crabs collected from shallow subtidal hard bottoms of Taiwanese waters are described in the present study. Garthasia ludaoensis n. sp. represents the second species for the genus and can be readily distinguished from the type species, G. americana (Garth, 1939), by having: 1) smaller width to length ratio of the carapace; 2) larger width to length ratio of the third maxilliped; 3) smaller width to length ratio of merus of the third maxilliped; 4) no distinct longitudinal keel on surfaces of sternites 1 and 2; 5) smaller length to width ratio of merus of the last ambulatory leg; 6) smaller width to length ratio of pleonite 2 of the male abdomen; 7) pleonite 2 in semicircular-shaped; 8) a tuft of long setae near distal opening of G1; and 9) distal end of basal segment without upright protrusion of G2. This genus is reported for the first time from Taiwan, as well as from the West Pacific. The second xanthid crab specimen examined in the present study has live colour pattern of the carapace and morphological characters similar to that of Zosimus maculatus (de Man, 1887) described from Ambon, Indonesia (about 3.7° S). The present finding extends the northern distribution range of this species to near 22° N and represents a new record of this species for Taiwan.

The main characters of Echiniscus taibaiensis sp. nov. are listed as follows: dorsal plates are decorated with polygons and irregular pores, median plate 3 absent, notches absent on terminal plate; lateral and dorsal appendages consist of cirrus A, C, D, E, Cd and Dd; spurs absent on all claws of each leg. This new species is similar to E. velaminis Murray in having a similar arrangement of lateral and dorsal appendages and in lacking the third median plate, but it differs from E. velaminis in lacking the spine inserted near the base of cirrus D and in having much shorter dorsal appendages Cd and Dd. A new record of Echiniscus bisetosus Heinis is also reported from China in this article.

The paper presents new data about the diversity of invertebrates associated with decomposed wood from the Plaiul Fagului Reserve. A total of 60 invertebrate species belonging to 45 genera, 20 families and two classes Collembola and Insecta (Coleoptera and Hymenoptera) were identified. A rare species - Carabus intricatus and C. ullrichi included in the third edition of the Red Book were highlighted. Four new species of Coleoptera are recorded for the first time for the reserve

Four new species of the genus Coccophagus Westwood, 1833 (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) from Mexico are described and illustrated: C. clypeator sp. n. and C. dentatus sp. n. are associated with citrus in Chiapas and Tamaulipas; C. falderus sp. n. and C. longisetus sp. n. were collected in Chiapas and Jalisco. Host of C. clypeator, the soft scale Akermes sp. (Hemiptera: Coccidae), is a new record for Chiapas and a new citrus pest in that Mexican state.

The genus Agrisius Walker (1855) is reported for the first time in Cambodia, for the new species Agrisius nigripunctata sp. n. Additionally, Agrisius fuliginosus is reported for the first time in Laos, Myanmar, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Illustrations of the adult and genitalia of Agrisius nigripunctata sp. n. and A. fuliginosus Moore are presented.
