Five specimens of primary larvae of Ripiphoridae (Insecta: Coleoptera) are reported from one piece of Cretaceous Kachin amber. They represent two morphotypes: one conicocephalate and one belonging to the tribe Ripidiini (represented by four specimens). The conicocephalate morphotype is compared with similar larvae known from Kachin, Taimyr and Manitoba Cretaceous amber, and the larvae of Ripidiini are compared with their Cretaceous, Eocene and extant relatives. Phylogenetic analyses were performed to establish a working hypothesis about possible relationships of both lineages. The results, which conform with a recent molecular phylogeny, indicate that the larvae described here belong to Ripidiini or are closely related, respectively. To allow taxonomic and systematic work with conicocephalate larvae from Kachin amber, a collective group name †“Ripilarva” nov. is proposed here to accommodate these immature stages. Both species of †“Ripilarva” nov. from Kachin amber are described: †“R.” parabolicasp. nov. and †“R.” kachinensissp. nov. Syninclusion of †“Ripilarva” kachinensissp. nov. and four larvae of a species of Ripidiini indicate that females of both ripiphorids chose the same time and microhabitat for oviposition in the Kachin Cretaceous forest. The results are further verified by the use of UV-photography, as the different larval morphotypes occurred in the same resin flow. The presence of larvae of Ripidiini in clusters contrary to the solitary occurrence of †“Ripilarva” nov. in Cretaceous amber of Russia, Canada, USA, and Myanmar is interpreted as a possible result of different oviposition strategies, with different numbers of eggs deposited at one spot.

The development of the macrolepidopteran fauna (butterflies and macro moths) of the diluvial landscapes around Eberswalde is updated until 2023: Changes in the number of species: Fourteen species were recorded for the first time in the area during the observation period: Pieris mannii (Pieridae), Korscheltellus lupulina (Hepialidae), Synanthedon mesiaeformis (also first record for Germany and the state of Brandenburg), Pyropteron triannuliformis (Sesiidae), Lasiocampa quercus (Lasiocampidae), Eilema caniola, Eublemma purpurina (Erebidae), Amphipyra perflua, Caradrina kadenii, Dicycla oo, Mythimna vitellina (Noctuidae), Isturgia arenacearia, Idaea rusticata, Horisme radicaria (Geometridae). Reliable first records from earlier times are now available for four further species: Pyronia tithonus (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae; historical record), Morpho helenor peleides (Nymphalidae; alien species), Euplagia quadripunctaria (Erebidae), Spodoptera exigua (Noctuidae; alien species). Ten species that had been presumed extinct in the area were rediscovered, including, as particularly noteworthy rediscoveries, the large wall brown Lasiommata maera after 66 years, and the noctuid moths Schrankia taenialis after 36 years, Hyppa rectilinea after 33 years, Apamea furva after 23 years and Hadena perplexa after 27 years. Nine species of the former species inventory are presumed extinct. Knowledge on the biology of the species, their distribution in the area and current changes in phenology is updated.

The genus Entomoculia Croissandeau, 1891, is the only representative of the subfamily Leptotyphlinae present in the Canary Islands and is composed by only two species: E. (Stenotyphlus) canariensis Outerelo, 1982, from La Gomera and E. (Stenotyphlus) lauricola Outerelo & Hernández, 1989, from Tenerife, both found in deep soil (= endogean) habitats. In this paper, we describe Entomoculia (Stenotyphlus) vulcanicasp. nov., the third Canarian species of the genus, which is reported for the first time from Gran Canaria and has been found in the mesovoid shallow substratum “MSS”. This new species has some of the characteristics that are specific to Canarian species of the genus Entomoculia, such as the lack of a denticle or spiniform process on the male metatrochanters. However, it is a remarkable species as it is the only known species of the genus with a tridentate labrum, as the labrum is monodentate in the species so far known from Canary Islands and bidentate in non-Canary species. We provide a key to Canarian species and illustrations of the habitus and the primary and secondary sexual characters of the male. We also describe the sampling techniques used and provide detailed information on habitat characteristics and associated arthropod fauna.
