Icius subinermis, a Mediterranean jumping spider species new to the fauna of Romania (Araneae: Salticidae)

Icius subinermis Simon, 1937 (Araneae: Salticidae), a jumping spider species of Mediterranean origin, is reported for the first time from Romania. Three specimens were collected from canopies of urban ornamental trees on the bank of the river Crișul Repede in Oradea in August 2021. Photographs of the copulatory organ and the habitus of voucher specimens from Romania are provided.

A new Hemisemidalis species from Madagascar (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae)

Hemisemidalis pennyi sp. n. (Neuroptera: Conipterygidae: Coniopteryginae) is described from Toliara Province of Madagascar. Clasping fore legs of males are recorded for the first time in Hemisemidalis Meinander, 1972, while those of females have not been documented before in Coniopterygidae. The genus Hemisemidalis is recorded as new to the fauna of Madagascar.

First record of Paromius gracilis from Hungary (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae)

Paromius gracilis (Rambur, 1839) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae: Rhyparochrominae: Myodochini), a species broadly distributed in the Afrotropical region and subtropical parts of Eurasia, is reported for the first time from Hungary, considerably extending its known range. The identification, distribution and bionomics of the species are reviewed and the significance of the new record is briefly discussed.

Antlions in Hungary: checklist and identification key (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)

This paper presents an updated and annotated checklist of Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera) of Hungary. Currently 16 species with valid faunistical records are known; the presence of Myrmeleon hyalinus Olivier, 1811, ignored by most authors, is confirmed, and the omission of Synclisis baetica (Rambur, 1842) from the Hungarian checklist is verified. An illustrated identification key is given to the 16 species present and further 15 species might potentially occur in Hungary

Description of a new eriophyid species from Hungary (Acari: Acariformes: Eriophyidae)

A new species of eriophyid mites, Aceria bassicola sp. n. (Acari: Acariformes: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae), collected from Bassia prostrata (L.) Beck (Amaranthaceae), is described from Hungary based on females, males and nymphs.

New species and records of Afrotropical Campopleginae III. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Five new ichneumon wasp species are described from South Africa: Campoplex baal sp. n., Campoplex diablo sp. n., Campoplex mephisto sp. n., Casinaria brachycera sp. n. and Hyposoter nanodraco sp. n. An updated identification key to the Afrotropical Casinaria species is given. Dusona miranda (Szépligeti, 1908) is first reported from Kenya, and the hitherto unknown male is described. Dusona anomala (Seyrig, 1935) is first reported from Ethiopia, Charops electrinus Vas, 2020 and Hyposoter reunionis (Benoit, 1957) are first reported from South Africa.

Two new species of Naarda Walker, 1866 from Southeast Asia (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Hypeninae)

Two new species of Naarda Walker, 1866 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Hypeninae), N. merkli sp. n. from Sulawesi and N. vojnitsi sp. n. from Vietnam are described. The former species is closely related to N. bisignata Walker, 1866, the type species of the genus, while the latter one is similar in facies to several congeners, but its genitalia are remarkably different from all known Naarda species. An identification key is given, for the first time, to the straw-coloured Naarda species.

New species and records of Afrotropical Campopleginae II. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Four new Afrotropical ichneumon wasp species are described: Casinaria caliginea Vas, sp. n. and Casinaria corvina Vas, sp. n. from Burundi, Dusona nigrescens Vas, sp. n. and Dusona solinervosa Vas, sp. n. from Uganda. Dusona elegans (Szépligeti, 1908) is first reported from Uganda, and the hitherto unknown female is described.

Tracking disappeared species III. Occurrence of Coleophora absinthii Wocke, 1877 in Hungary (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae)

Coleophora absinthii Wocke, 1877 is represented in the Hungarian Natural History Museum by only one voucher specimen from Hungary. The species was collected for the first time in 1952 from Hungary but, in spite of several publications reporting it as a frequent species, no specimen of C. absinthii has been deposited in the museum since its first record. We found the species between 2018 and 2020 in six new Hungarian localities. The tubular case, the case made of flowers, the adult, the genitalia and the distribution map of the species are presented.
