A new species of the genus Mongolotettix Rehn, 1928 from Henan, China is described. The new species, Mongolotettix tongbaishanensis Yin, Ji et Dai sp. n. is similar to M. shanxiensis Shi, Liu et Li, 2016, but differs from the latter by shorter tegmina of male, which reach the hind margin of the 6th abdominal tergite, the maximumwidth of cubital area being 1.2 times wider than the maximum width of the medial area, the prozona of male being 1.5 times longer than the metazona, the tegmina of female being short, extending slightly over the hind margin of the 1st abdominal tergite, the length of tegmina being 2.5 times longer than its maximum width, the epiphallus being wider than high, and the length of the upper ovipositor valve being 4.4 times longer than its maximum width.

This paper reports a new genus and a species of the tribe Haplotropidini Sergeev, 1995, i.e. Sulcohumpacris Yin, Yin et Cao gen. n. and Sulcohumpacris hebeiensis Yin, Yin et Cao sp. n. from Hebei Province, China. The new genus is similar to Humphaplotropis Xiao, Yin et Yin, 2013, but differs from the latter by the hump-formed pronotum along the median keel being deeply cut by hind sulcus and hence divided in two waves in lateral view, the anterior margin being acutely angular in the middle, the apex not reaching the hindmargin of the eyes, the frontal ridge being widened at the median ocellus, and the abdomen having large teeth along the median keel in lateral view. A key to the three genera of this Chinese tribe is given. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University, Baoding, China.

Faunistic studies conducted in multiple localities across the Arkhangelsk oblast during 2014–2016 resulted in the discovery of 104 species of Lepidoptera not previously reported from this region. Especially noteworthy records include Phyllocnistis saligna, Depressaria ultimella, Dichrorampha insperata, Eversmannia exornata and Eublemma amasina.We also confirm records of 24 species which were known from old publications only, and we report new localities for 379 species. The known fauna of the Lepidoptera of the Arkhangelsk oblast now includes 1,140 species (604 species of microlepidoptera and 536 species of macrolepidoptera), which we presume to represent slightly more than a half of the potential diversity of Lepidoptera of the oblast.

The paper presents the first records of Tetraneura (Tetraneurella) nigriabdominalis (Sasaki, 1899) (Eriosomatinae, Eriosomatini) from Poland, an alien species that has been expanding its range northward, which is presumably connected with climate warming. Secondary hosts of this aphid are different plant species from the family Poaceae, including Zea L. Considering the steady increase in maize cultivation area in Europe, the species can become a potential threat to this cereal. We present the morphological characteristics of winged morphs developing in galls on trees from the genus Ulmus L. Those characteristics enable to distinguish this species from Tetraneura (Tetraneura) ulmi (Linnaeus, 1758), which dominates on elms in northwestern Europe. The data on the distribution of T. (T.) nigriabdominalis in Europe are also provided.

The Charipinae species of Central Europe are reviewed. Based on 1,439 specimens, 36 species were identified. A diagnosis for each species is provided and the diagnostic features illustrated. Alloxysta hendrickxi (Benoit, 1956) and Alloxysta pilosa Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar, 2013, are recorded from Europe for the first time. All the other species identified are recorded for the first time from central Europe, mostly from the Czech and Slovak Republics but also from Slovenia and Poland. New trophic relationships are described for some species, which considerably improves the knowledge of Charipinae hosts. In total 389 new trophic relations were established.

The quality of soil environment in forest ecosystems of mountain zones was characterised by skeleton content and particle size as well as soil moisture and chemistry and used for deepening the knowledge of ecological requirements of centipedes, millipedes and terrestrial isopods. Soil skeleton and size of the particles were significant environmental factors, with Lithobius austriacus, Lithobius erythrocephalus and Lithobius nodulipes preferring stony soils. The isopods Ligidium hypnorum and Hyloniscus riparius were closely bound to heavy soils with a high clay content, which was related to increased soil moisture and indication ofwaterlogged soils. Soil reaction (pH/KCl) was less associated with the occurrence of the studied invertebrates. The soils with higher skeleton content and a favourable moisture regime containing more Ca2+ and Mg2+ were more attractive to some centipedes (Strigamia acuminata, Lithobius microps) and isopods (Trachelipus ratzebargii, Oniscus asellus, Porcellio scaber).

A bumblebee community was studied at Pymvashor, the only thermal spring in North European Russia. The bumblebee fauna comprised 12 species, which is a large number when compared to other native tundra ecosystems. Most of the species recorded were ubiquitous, 3 were forest species and 2 were typical tundra species. The presence of the ubiquitous and forest species in the bumblebee community appears to be due to the landscape features and the perennial impact of the hot springs, under the influence of which specific extrazonal ecosystems arise that are different from those typical of the tundra zone.
