This paper describes the fourth species of the subgenus Liara (Liara) from China, which can be distinguished from other Chinese species by the shape of male cerci and male phallus. All the specimens are deposited in Guangxi Normal University.

After a thoughtful review of 159 specimens collected from 17 localities from multiple collections in Mexico and the U.S.A. spanning decades of collecting events, four new species of the micropterous Melanoplinae genus Oaxaca are described from Southwestern Mexico. Based on morphological analyses, we placed these four species within the group Paraoaxaca subgen. nov. The four species are Oaxaca (Paraoaxaca) ottei sp. nov., Oaxaca (Paraoaxaca) cohni sp. nov., Oaxaca (Paraoaxaca) cuitlateca sp. nov., and Oaxaca (Paraoaxaca) tlapaneca sp. nov. We further discussed the body of evidence that led us to the erection of this new subgenus within the genus Oaxaca and the future directions needed to disentangle the internal relationships with the genus Oaxaca and their sister groups. This contribution is a continuation of a series of works dealing with the specious orthopterofauna of the region that has been started thanks to the efforts of recent collection events and careful review of unsorted material deposited in legacy collections.

The family Oceanitidae, formerly considered a subfamily of Hydrobatidae, includes all the small storm-petrels of the southern hemisphere. The ancestor-descendent relationships and evolutionary history of one of its genera, Oceanites, have been partially studied, yielding contrasting results. We revised the phylogenetic relationships of this group using Bayesian inference (BI) based on new sequence data of the mitochondrial gene Cytb and linear morphological measurements of all species and five subspecies-level taxa in Oceanites, including a new taxon from the Chilean Andes. Our BI results show that the Oceanites genus is monophyletic and composed of four well-supported clades (posterior probability > 0.95): (1) chilensis; (2) exasperatus; (3) gracilis, pincoyae, and barrosi sp. nov.; and (4) oceanicus and galapagoensis. The species O. chilensis is a basal clade within Oceanites. According to our time-calibrated tree, the split between Oceanites and the other genera in Family Oceanitidae is estimated to be ~35.9 Mya, and the oldest divergence within Oceanites (the split between O. chilensis and other Oceanites) was dated to the early Miocene, around c. 21.3 Mya. The most probable geographic origin of Oceanites is the Southern Ocean. The morphological data suggest continuous size variation between Oceanites taxa, ranging from smallest in gracilis to largest in exasperatus. Based on our phylogenetic hypothesis, and morphological analyses, we suggest elevating to species status the taxa galapagoensis, chilensis, and exasperatus, and we describe a new taxon barrosi sp. nov., thus recognizing a total of seven species within the genus Oceanites.

The coral reefs off the Andaman and Nicobar archipelagos harbour some of the world’s diverse reef-associated crustacean fauna, which have not been adequately surveyed. A recent faunal survey in the Andaman Sea on-board the Fishery Oceanographic Research Vessel Sagar Sampada (cruise number 388) revealed a rich diversity of coral reef-associated brachyuran crabs. The article reports four genera, Singhaplax Serène & Soh, 1976, Cavoportunus Nguyen & Ng, 2010, Cyrtocarcinus Ng & Chia, 1994 and Visayax Mendoza & Ng, 2008 occurring in Indian waters for the first time. Seven species namely Singhaplax ockelmanni (Serène, 1971), Urnalana angulata (Rathbun, 1911), Pseudolambrus confragosus (Calman, 1900), Cavoportunus dubius (Laurie, 1906), Cyrtocarcinus truncatus (Rathbun, 1906), Visayax osteodictyon Mendoza & Ng, 2008, and Xanthias joanneae Mendoza, 2013, are likewise reported for the first time from Indian waters.

The monotypic Oriental genus Vitruvius Distant, 1901 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae), having an intricate and confusing taxonomic history, is revised. A new species, Vitruvius dobby Roca-Cusachs, Rider & Kment new species, is described from Cambodia and Thailand. Notes on the hypothesized classification of the genus based on both biology and morphology are presented, but its systematic placement is left unresolved. The morphological characteristics of the genus are redescribed. Habitus photographs of the type specimen of V. insignis Distant, 1901 and its labels, and photographs of both the species are provided.

Comprehending the diversity of mites and ticks is essential for gaining insight into micro-arthropod ecosystems, assisting in pest control, and maximizing utilization of beneficial mite resources. To lay a groundwork for future research endeavours, this study was prepared to provide an overview of the research chronicle and conduct an analysis of the diversity of mites and ticks recorded in Fiji. An annotated catalogue was assembled, encompassing data on the taxonomy, host/habitat, and geographical distribution of 251 species and subspecies, across 169 genera, 93 families, and four orders.

Species of the owlfly genus Glyptobasis McLachlan, 1873 from India and its adjacent countries are revised. Two species, Glyptobasis dentifera (Westwood, 1847) and Glyptobasis nigrifrons Kimmins, 1949 are redescribed based on freshly collected specimens from Kerala, India. The status of all Glyptobasis species reported from the Oriental region is revised. Lectotypes and paralectotypes of Glyptobasis dentifera (Westwood, 1847 and Glyptobasis spinicornis van der Weele, 1909 are currently designated after comparison to the type specimens in different collections. Glyptobasis denticornis Kimmins, 1949 (syn. n.) is a new junior synonym of Glyptobasis spinicornis van der Weele, 1909. A key to six species of Glyptobasis is provided. Based on the relevant literature, the known distribution of each species and the flight period of the imagos are given.
