Overwintering success of Papilio demoleus Linnaeus, 1758, a recently arrived Swallowtail to the Mediterranean basin, has been such that we are able to report on dispersal of the species into 50×5km2 -UTM squares in Cyprus. Citizen science reports, appropriately verified, have been invaluable in assessing the spread of a papilionid that was first reported from Cyprus in August 2021. These observations, supplemented by others from members of the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group, point to a known area of occupation representing ca. 11% of the island in just one year. However, the distances separating observations from the main concentration in central/eastern areas of the island with those reported from coasts around the island, strongly support a belief that the species has a far greater distribution in Cyprus. In turn, as the species has survived throughout an unusually cold winter during 2021/2022, this leads us to hypothesize that a successful, potentially permanent, range expansion has been achieved. Until more is known about the adaptation of P. demoleus to pertaining environmental conditions in Cyprus, where five annual generations appear achievable, we urge caution before the tag of 'pest species', as applied in other parts of the world, is attached to P. demoleus in Mediterranean regions.

The cleptoparasitic bee genus Microsphecodes Eickwort & Stage (Halictinae: Halictini: Sphecodina) is reported for the first time from Amazonian Brazil. The genus is represented there by a new species,Microsphecodes (Microsphecodes) amazonophilus sp. n., which is distinguished from its congeners based on coloration, clypeal proportions, and integumental sculpturing. A revised key is provided to the species of Microsphecodes s. str.

Brian Pitkin was one of those relative rarities – an entomologist who excelled on, and made original contributions to, the taxonomy and ecology of several quite disparate groups of insects. Then, mid-career, Brian moved on, to tackle a challenging new world – creating and running data management systems fit for a collection of thirty million specimens and one million names. Along the way he helped numerous colleagues and students alike – always with a smile – and found time not only for his wife and friends, but intensive leisure-time pursuits that included diving, underwater photography, and botanical recording. This appreciation of his life is made up of a series of personal accounts and vignettes, and is completed by a bibliography of his published entomological works.

A new species of the Hoplitis subgenus Stenosmia has recently been found in southern Portugal and Spain. Preliminary studies suggest that it is oligolectic on Frankeniaceae. Observations have been made of nesting females – a first for this subgenus from the Iberian Peninsula.

The secondary screw-worm, Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius, 1775) is reported for the first time from the Old World. The single male specimen was collected in 2009 in Bangladesh, Dhaka, Gazipur District, and is deposited in the Canadian National Collection of Insects (CNC), Ottawa, Canada. The genus Cochliomyia Townsend, 1915, is endemic to the New World, except for the temporary occurrence of C. hominivorax (Coquerel, 1858) in Libya in 1988. An overview of myiasis cases prior to the description of the Old World primary screw-worm, Chrysomya bezziana (Villeneuve, 1914) is given and possible routes for the introduction of Cochliomyia macellaria into Bangladesh is discussed.
