Based on examination of the type specimens of Thevenetimyia ziegleri Dils, 2009, and Amictus firjuzanus Paramonov, 1932, it was found that the two species are synonymous and the valid name is Amictus firjuzanus Paramonov, 1932.

Species that make up the Anthrenus pimpinellae complex are difficult to distinguish: a thorough examination of all the known species is required for progress in their taxonomy. Here a morphometric examination of A. munroi and its male genitalia is carried out to complement similar examinations of other species from the complex. A key is presented to differentiate among Western European species in the A. pimpinellae complex, including A. munroi. The key is aimed at citizen-scientist field images taken for submission to biodiversity websites; it relies entirely on external features that should be distinguishable in clear images.

Illustrated redescriptions are given for three species of encyrtid wasps first described in the early 1800s: Microterys cedrenus (Walker), M. cyanocephalus (Dalman) and M. interpunctus (Dalman), and four new synonyms are proposed: M. aldreyi Japoshvili (of M. cedrenus), M. dichrous (Mercet) (of M. cedrenus), M. steinbergi Sugonjaev (of M. cyanocephalus), and M. duplicatus (Nees) (of M. interpunctus).

A multiple-method survey of just one hectare of lowland dipterocarp forest in Brunei yielded 115 species or morphospecies of ants of which 102 have been identified to species. No fewer than 24 of these are new records for Borneo. We list these species with comments on their wider distributions. Almost half of these species (44%) are endemic to the Sundaland region, with a further 20% restricted to south-east Asia. Few local species crossed the Makassar Strait between Borneo and Sulawesi suggesting that Wallace's Line is a relevant biogeographical barrier for many ant species. The trapping methods used generally targeted contrasting groups of species. The methods that yielded most ant species were canopy knockdown using pyrethrin insecticide (43%), pitfall trapping (26%), leaf litter extraction (9.5%) and bark spraying (8.6%). Our results suggest that future tropical forest ant surveys should include canopy sampling.

Megaselia cumtarantula sp. n. is described for Peru. The entire life cycle of these flies takes place on tarantulas of the species Pamphobeteus antinous Pocock. Adults, pupae and larvae were found on the prosoma and femur of the legs of adult tarantulas and only larvae were found on the opisthosoma of juvenile tarantulas. Keywords: Phoridae, Megaselia, Pamphobeteus, commensalism, Peru
