A new species Zherichinixena vossi Legalov, sp. nov. is described from Sumatra Isl. (South Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia). The new species differs from Zherichinixena nigra Legalov, 2009 in the smaller body sizes, the sides of the pronotum strongly tapering towards to the apex, and an aedeagus widened apically. It is the second record of the genus Zherichinixena from Sumatra. A list of the Recent Metrioxenini is given.

A new species, Orthorhynchus (Australobelus) dmitrii Legalov, sp. nov., from the tribe Belini of the subfamily Belinae is described and illustrated. It is distinguish from Orthorhynchus (Australobelus) villosus (Lea, 1917) in a more convex forehead, more delicately sculptured pronotum and elytra, sparse light hairs on the body forming a row of spots near the suture and several spots in the apical half of the side of the elytra, and also a short median longitudinal stripe on the pronotum in front of the scutellum, yellowish hairs forming a stripe on the sides of the pronotum and spots on the mesepisternum and mesepimeron, on the base and apex of the metepisternum and on the sides of the abdominal ventrites. This is the first record of the Orthorhynchus Kirby, 1819 from New Guinea. Distribution map for the subtribe Belina is given.

In this study, we describe Ambulyx labuanensis sp. nov., a new hawk moth species from Flores Island (East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia). This species is morphologically similar to Ambulyx moorei Moore, 1858, A. amboynensis Rothschild, 1894, A. bakeri (Clark, 1929), A. celebensis (Jordan, 1919), A. dohertyi Rothschild, 1894, and A. semifervens (Walker, 1865). However, it clearly differs from these species by having two large saccular processes on the valva.

The knowledge of water mites of the Caucasus is very poor, and most studies are restricted to the northern part of this mountain range. In this paper new records of water mites collected from Georgia, are presented. By using the DNA barcode region of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), sequences were generated for 10 species, i,e., Hydrachna cruenta Müller, 1776, Eylais hamata Koenike, 1897, Parathyas barbigera (K. Viets, 1908), Thyasides dentatus (Thor, 1897), Lebertia inaequalis (Koch, 1837), L. porosa Thor, 1900 gr., Sperchon amuzgari Bader & Sepasgosarian, 1979, Limnesia undulata (Müller, 1776), Hygrobates turcicus Pešić, Esen & Dabert, 2017 and H. angustipalpis K.O. Viets, 1982. All these species are new for the fauna of Georgia.

The distribution of Dasypolia eberti Boursin, 1967 in Kazakhstan is discussed. The species is reported from Dzhungar Alatau Mountains, which is the northernmost known locality of the species. The male and female genitalia of D. eberti are illustrated and diagnosed in comparison with the related Dasypolia rjabovi (Bundel, 1966). The female genitalia of the latter species as well as its type specimens are illustrated for the first time.

The horse-fly fauna of the East Mediterranean is poorly known and, in some geographical areas, has not been studied for decades. The present study summarizes the results of tabanid collections performed over 30 years in the Greek islands (the Cyclades, Dodecanese, North Aegean and Crete) and Cyprus. In total, 18 species were known from the study territory. The present study reports an additional 10 species. Previously, only 1 horsefly species was known from the Dodecanese islands, 1 from the North Aegean islands, and 2 from the Cyclades. This study has raised the number of species to 6, 7, and 9, respectively. The combined taxa for the three island groups have increased from 4 to 17 species. Specifically, the number of species has increased from 3 to 7 in Crete and from 11 to 19 in Cyprus. Additionally, we report 1 new record from the Greek mainland, 1 from the Levantine region, 2 from Lebanon, and 2 from Israel. Four Afrotropical–Palearctic vector species: Atylotus agrestis (Wiedemann, 1828); Tabanus gratus Löw, 1858b; Tabanus sufis Jaennicke, 1867; and Tabanus taeniola Palisot de Beauvois, 1806; are recorded for the first time from Cyprus, and A. agrestis from southern Italy. Their status as invasive species in Europe is discussed, the four species are illustrated.
