The Japanese species of subgenus Conoblasta Förster 1869 sensu Aubert (1978) and Kuslitzky (1974, 2007) of the genus Glypta Gravenhorst 1829 are reviewed. No reliable synapomorphies are found for the species of Conoblasta after all and thus we conclude that they should be treated as a tentative species group. Eighteen species of the Conoblasta species group, including 11 new species (G. cognata...

The new species are authored and described by Fleming and Wood: Am...

A taxonomic revision of the genus Megalostomis Chevrolat, 1836 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae: Clytrini: Megalostomina) is provided, including new data on geographic ranges.

A checklist of the species of Megalostomis is provided, with information on host plants,...

The Afrotropical sac spider genus Messapus Simon, 1898, presently placed in the Castianeirinae, is reviewed. The type material of the type species, M. martini Simon, 1898, clearly represents two different species, a corinnine female (here designated the lectotype) and a castianeirine male (the paralectotype). The female is redescribed and its corresponding male is described for the first time. ...
