A new species of a new subgenus and a similar known species referred to the genus Flagellisargus J Zhang, 2012 are described and illustrated based on a male and a female impression fossils of these flies: Flagellisargus (Changbingisargus) parvus subgen. et sp. n. and Flagellisargus (Flagellisargus) cf. sinicus J Zhang, 2012. The latter taxon is the first record of a female Flagellisargus. Recently taken out of Archisargoidea, this study concludes that Flagellisargus should be an archisargid genus based on the known (male) and new (female) impression fossils. The placement of Daohugosargus J Zhang, 2012b is reassessed. It demonstrates close similarities in body structure and wing venation to archisargid flies, and can be retained as an archisargid genus. Archirhagio mostovskii J Zhang, 2015 is separated from Archirhagio zhangi K Zhang et al., 2009. Helempis Ren, 1998 could be, as a separate genus, placed in Archisarginae, Archisargidae.

This monographic review of the Nevrorthidae Nakahara, 1915, covers all 19 validly described, extant species worldwide that belong to one of the smallest families of the order Neuroptera. The family embraces four genera: Nevrorthus Costa, 1863 (with five species occurring in the Mediterranean region), Austroneurorthus Nakahara, 1958 (with two species restricted to eastern Australia), Nipponeurorthus Nakahara, 1958 (with 11 species from eastern Asia: Japanese islands, mainland China, Taiwan), and Sinoneurorthus Liu, H. Aspöck & U. Aspöck, 2012 (with one species recorded from mainland China). A comprehensive taxonomical treatment of all extant taxa is presented, including the scant available biological data. Distribution maps for all species are provided. A phylogenetic analysis based on morphological data from both extant and extinct taxa was performed. Austroneurorthus, together with Nevrorthus and some Eocene Baltic amber genera, form a monophylum. The disjunct distribution of modern nevrorthid genera demonstrates the relictual nature of the family and points to a historical biogeography that could have led to the formation of the present distribution pattern. Future discovery of fossil material might substantiate these claims.

The Mediterranean snakefly Raphidia mediterranea H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck & Rausch, 1977 – known from many parts of the Balkan Peninsula, several Aegean islands, southern parts of Italy, northwest of Anatolia and a few localities in Eastern Europe, yet not recorded in Central Europe – was surprisingly found with an astoundingly high population density on bushes in the yard of an old farmhouse at a comparatively high altitude (800 m) in Upper Austria, north of the Danube River, in 2013. This spectacular phenomenon was again observed in the following years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), and in 2016 the suspicion that the larvae develop in the straw of the thatched roof of the farmhouse could be confirmed by findings of larvae, pupae, and exuviae.It is most likely, that the occurrence of this Raphidia species in Austria is to be traced back to a human-caused introduction at some point in time. It remains, however, unknown when and specifically how this event might have occurred. Morphologically no substantial differences were found between specimens from Greece, Italy and Upper Austria. In addition, the genetic uniformity (using 3 genes: cox1, cox3, and 28S) of the populations was verified. This supports an earlier hypothesis that the occurrence of the species, as well as that of R. mediterranea in Italy, Anatolia and perhaps elsewhere, may be related to importation of goods involving wood or soil. A molecular genetic analysis of several Raphidia species confirmed the present morphology-based concept of their systematic position. The means of dispersal of Raphidioptera are largely unknown. We do not know of any other similar cases of anthropogenic dispersal of a snakefly, but it cannot be excluded that human activities may have played a greater role in the dispersal of Raphidioptera than previously assumed. Phylogenomic studies would therefore be promising to solve some of these questions.
地中海蛇蝇Raphidia mediterranea H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck & Rausch, 1977 -在巴尔干半岛的许多地方，几个爱琴海岛屿，意大利南部，安纳托利亚西北部和东欧的一些地方都有发现，但在中欧没有记录-令人惊讶的是，2013年在多瑙河以北的上奥地利较高海拔(800米)的一个老农家院子的灌木丛中发现了惊人的高人口密度。这一壮观的现象在随后的几年(2014年、2015年、2016年、2017年)再次被观察到，2016年，幼虫在农舍茅草屋顶的稻草中发育的怀疑可以通过幼虫、蛹和蜕皮的发现来证实。最有可能的是，这种Raphidia物种在奥地利的出现可以追溯到人类在某个时间点引起的引入。然而，这一事件发生的时间和具体方式仍然未知。在形态学上，希腊、意大利和上奥地利的标本之间没有发现实质性的差异。同时，利用cox1、cox3和28S 3个基因验证了群体的遗传均匀性。这支持了一个早期的假设，即该物种以及地中海河鼠在意大利、安纳托利亚和其他地方的出现可能与进口涉及木材或土壤的货物有关。对几种蛇属植物的分子遗传学分析证实了目前基于形态学的系统位置概念。Raphidioptera的传播方式在很大程度上是未知的。我们不知道有任何其他类似的蛇蝇传播的人为案例，但不能排除人类活动可能在蛇翅目传播中发挥了比以前假设的更大的作用。因此，系统基因组学研究有望解决其中的一些问题。

The Afrotropical fauna contains five genera of Argidae. These are keyed. New subjective synonyms, followed by the valid name in brackets, are Calarge Enslin, 1911 [Arge Schrank, 1802], Calarge africana Enslin, 1911 [Arge congrua Konow, 1907], Clyparge Pasteels, 1963 [Scobina Lepeletier & Serville, 1828], Clyparge terminalis Pasteels, 1963 [Scobina poecila (Klug, 1834)], and Sterictophora [sic] afra Pasteels, 1963 [Sphacophilus afer comb. n., species inquirenda near S. monjarasi Smith & Morales-Reyes, 2015]. The type material of both C. terminalis and S. afra was probably collected in the New World, but labelled with the wrong locality “Kamerun”. An introduction of both species to Africa, not followed by long-term establishment, seems less likely. The removal of these taxa from the faunal list of the region is recommended. The nine known Afrotropical species of Pampsilota are revised, and an illustrated dichotomous identification key presented, with distribution maps for all species. Four species are here described as new to science: P. dahomeyanus Goergen, Koch & Liston, sp. n., P. nigeriae Liston & Koch, sp. n., P. tsavoensis Liston & Koch, sp. n., and P. zebra Liston & Koch, sp. n. Lectotypes are designated for Pampsilota afer Konow, 1899, and Cipdele africana Mocsáry, 1909. The immature stages and host plant of only one species are known: P. dahomeyanus on Lannea nigritana (Anacardiaceae). Its larval morphology strongly resembles that of European and North American species of Arge. We provisionally retain Pampsilota as a valid genus, although it could justifiably be treated as comprising merely a species group, or groups, within Arge.

Beetles previously considered to be Ocys harpaloides (Audinet-Serville) from northern Africa, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium belong to two species. These species can be distinguished using DNA sequences of 28S rDNA, 18S rDNA, COI, CAD, and topoisomerase I. A key, diagnoses, and images are provided to enable identification of specimens based upon characteristics of male and female genitalia, as well as microsculpture and other external structures. Through examination of the holotype of Bembidium harpaloides v. tachysoides Antoine, as well as designation of lectotypes of Bembidion harpaloides Audinet-Serville and Ocys melanocephalus Stephens, and designation of a neotype for Tachis rufescens Guérin-Ménéville, the valid names of the two species were determined to be Ocys harpaloides and Ocys tachysoides (Antoine).

The genus Gonatoxia Karsch, which was synonymized with Dapanera Karsch by Massa (2015), is re-established. Data on habitat, biology, ecology, the acoustics and on chromosomes are provided as well as a key to the species. The male of G. immaculata Karsch and the female of G. maculata Karsch are described. G. furcata sp. n. from the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania and G. helleri sp. n. inhabiting coastal and lowland wet forest are newly described. All species have calling songs consisting of very short, resonant syllables, produced in species specific intervals, and with peak carrier frequencies between 13 and 24 kHz. In respect to chromosome numbers Gonatoxia species showed extreme differences (from 29 to 7) suggesting rapid evolutionary changes. G. helleri sp. n. so far is the tettigoniid species with the lowest number of chromosomes at present. Gonatoxia species may be used as bioindicators, their presence suggesting valuable habitats that are vanishing rapidly in East Africa.

The precinctive New Caledonian genus Cyphocoleus Chaudoir is revised with 22 species recognized, 12 newly described: C. lissus sp. n., C. prolixus sp. n., C. parovicollis sp. n., C. burwelli sp. n., C. angustatus sp. n., C. monteithi sp. n., C. fasciatus sp. n., C. lescheni Liebherr & Will, sp. n., C. cordatus sp. n., C. bourailensis sp. n., C. subulatus sp. n., and C. iledespinsensis sp. n. Atongolium Park & Will is found to be a junior synonym of Cyphocoleus, with its two species recombined as C. mirabilis comb. n. and C. moorei comb. n. Results of a survey of Harpalinae Bonelli place Cyphocoleus as a member of Odacanthini based on synapomorphies of the eighth abdominal tergite and the female spermathecal assembly. Cyphocoleus shares with five other generic-level taxa – Homethes Newman, Aeolodermus Andrewes, Stenocheila Laporte, Quammenis Erwin and Diplacanthogaster Liebke – a single-segmented maxillary galea that is appressed to the outer margin of the maxillary lacinia. These six generic-level taxa are newly classified as members of subtribe Homethina subtrib. n. (type genus Homethes). Cladistic analysis including 79 taxa and utilizing 119 morphological characters supports division of Odacanthini into four monophyletic subtribes: 1, Actenonycina (Actenonyx White); 2, Homethina; 3, Pentagonicina (Pentagonica Dana, Parascopodes Darlington, Scopodes Erichson); and 4, Odacanthina (24 genera in this analysis monophyletically defined by Lasiocera Dejean and its adelphotaxon). These subtribes are phylogenetically arranged as: (Actenonycina (Homethina (Pentagonicina + Odacanthina). Area relationships defined within Homethina – (New Caledonia (Australia (South America + Central America))) – support the origin of New Caledonian Cyphocoleus prior to amphiantarctic vicariance between South America and Australia. Consistent with previous molecular dating of 100–105 Ma for the origin of Odacanthini, a general vicariance-based hypothesis proposes that New Zealandian Actenonyx and New Caledonian Cyphocoleus were emplaced on Zealandia prior to the completion of rifting between Zealandia and Australia during Late Cretaceous, and that both fragments of Zealandia remained subaerial throughout the Cenozoic. Alternatively, under a very specific time-constrained biogeographic hypothesis ladened with an added assumption of dispersal, the ancestor of Cyphocoleus could have colonized New Caledonia during a 2–5 Ma period after its proposed subaerial reemergence at 37 Ma. A clade within Cyphocoleus synapomorphously exhibits an environmental patina: a varnish-like coating to the dorsal body surface that is hypothesized to enable crypsis of the adult beetle. Several specializations of elytral setae are also synapomorphies of this clade, suggesting evolutionary association of the patina and the setal specializations. Key Words

Area relationships defined within Homethina – (New Caledonia (Australia (South America + Central America))) – support the origin of New Caledonian Cyphocoleus prior to amphiantarctic vicariance between South America and Australia. Consistent with previous molecular dating of 100–105 Ma for the origin of Odacanthini, a general vicariance-based hypothesis proposes that New Zealandian Actenonyx and New Caledonian Cyphocoleus were emplaced on Zealandia prior to the completion of rifting between Zealandia and Australia during Late Cretaceous, and that both fragments of Zealandia remained subaerial throughout the Cenozoic. Alternatively, under a very specific time-constrained biogeographic hypothesis ladened with an added assumption of dispersal, the ancestor of Cyphocoleus could have colonized New Caledonia during a 2–5 Ma period after its proposed subaerial reemergence at 37 Ma. A clade within Cyphocoleus synapomorphously exhibits an environmental patina: a varnish-like coating to the dorsal body surface that is hypothesized to enable crypsis of the adult beetle. Several specializations of elytral setae are also synapomorphies of this clade, suggesting evolutionary association of the patina and the setal specializations.

A new genus of the tribe Brachyglutini (Pselaphinae: Goniaceritae), Kieneriella gen. n., is described based on a new species K. novaecaledoniae sp. n. from New Caledonia. The strongly elongate maxillary palpi of Kieneriella is an unusual character state found in other genera of the tribe. The new taxon is compared with allied relatives, and its major diagnostic features are illustrated.

Introduction: Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas are rare. However, in patients on anticoagulant treatment the risk may increase. Symptomatically patients may present with radiculopathy and even progressive neurological deficits.
Case description: We present a case of a warfarin treated patient with left L5 radiculopathy. MRI was evaluated as showing a lumbar disc prolapse or synovial cyst at L4-L5 level. The patient was operated and an organized material was removed and analysed as a hematoma. No prolapsed disc or synovial cyst was found. The patient was neurologically restored following the operation.
Discussion and evaluation: This case illustrates how spontaneous epidural spinal hematomas can present with symptoms of radiculopathy and radiologically be misinterpreted as a protruding disc or cyst.
Conclusion: Warfarin treated patients may have an increased risk of spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas.
