Partial life histories for 12 Hesperiinae incertae sedis that feed on palms (Arecaceae) are described and illustrated. The genera dealt with are: Perrotia (part), Ploetzia, Zophopetes, Gretna (part), Pteroteinon, Leona, and Caenides (part) (all from Evans' Ploetzia genera group). Although Gamia spp. have been reported to feed on palms, these records are considered to be in error, as caterpillar...

The European Rhogogaster s. str. species are revised, and several nominal taxa from Asia discussed. The taxonomic identity of the type species Tenthredo viridis Linnaeus, 1758 is different from that assumed in the past. Tenthredo dryas Benson, 1943 is syn. nov. of R. viridis. The name Rhogogaster scalaris (Klug, 1817), species revocata, is to be applied to Rhogogaster viridis auct. New subjecti...

Reinwardtia 21(2): 63‒80. — There are 53 species and three varieties Sumatran included in the checklist. Thirty-three lectotypes four neotypes have been assigned, including for two excluded species. Two designated as incertae sedis due to a lack type mate...

Abstract. Chelonariidae, or turtle beetles, are rarely represented in the fossil record. Two new extinct species of this thermophilous coleopteran family, Chelonarium andabata Alekseev and Bukejs sp. nov. Ch. dingansich nov., described illustrated from Eocene Baltic amber using X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). They first formally beetles known European representatives family. Based o...

This study concerns the diplopod genus Eucampesmella Schubart, 1955, widespread in Brazil. After this work, includes 12 valid species, and three incertae sedis: E. pugiuncula (Schubart, 1946), brunnea Kraus, 1959 schubarti 1957. The type-species, tricuspis (Attems, 1931), is redescribed based on holotype, following six new Brazilian species are added: macunaima sp. nov. from states of Rondônia,...

We describe and illustrate a new eyeless weevil, Yagder serratus gen. & sp. nov., based on single adult female collected by sifting forest leaf litter in Mexico. A phylogenetic analysis of 39 terminals 2679 aligned positions from three DNA fragments places the species into subfamily Brachycerinae (as incertae sedis) outside highly diversified clade ‘higher’ true weevils. Neither Brachycerin...

The current article focuses on the morphological and molecular characterization of often inconspicuous genus Amicula. This recently erected from brackish marine sediments was monotypic but here we describe two new tropical species: Amicula micronesica sp. nov. vermiculata Once considered an incertae sedis regarding its higher rank taxonomy, position among family Diploneidaceae is proposed by ph...
