A new species of soldier beetle (Cantharidae) from Eocene Baltic amber, Malthinus fabriziofantii sp. nov., is described and illustrated. This is yet one more species of Cantharidae documented from the Baltic deposit, a rich accumulation of amber that provides an unparalleled view of Eocene arthropods with more than 3,000 species discovered to date. Creating this remarkable deposit was a favorable blend of environmental elements that included a humid, warm climate; an assortment of different habitats; and conifer trees exuding profuse amounts of resin that trapped hundreds of thousands of insects, arachnids, and other small organisms that would become amber inclusions.

The genus Sycanus Amyot & Serville, 1843 includes seventy-two valid species distributed in African and Asian regions. Among those species, eight of them, Sycanus atrocoeruleus Signoret, 1862, S. bifidus (Fabricius, 1787), S. croceus Hsiao, 1979, S. falleni Stål, 1863, S. minor Hsiao, 1979, S. rubricatus Stål, 1874, S. sichuanensis Hsiao, 1979, and S. ventralis Distant, 1919, were described and recorded in Vietnam. In this study, we examined species of Sycanus collected from Vietnam based on external morphology, male genital morphology, and molecular phylogenetic analyses inferred from mitochondrial COI sequences. Consequently, two new species, Sycanus thuathienhuensis sp. nov. and Sycanus taynguyenensis sp. nov., were discovered, described, and illustrated here.

Leptomastax Pirazzoli includes 25 species mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region. Leptomastax minutissima sp. n. is described, based on a male collected in northern Israel. This is the smallest member of this genus known so far, with the body length merely 1.13 mm, and it belongs in a group of eyeless species with a strongly reduced pattern of macrosetae. Identification key to Leptomastax of Israel is given.

Distribution of Phoenicurusia transcaucasicus (Miller, 1923) in Iran and neighbouring territories is clarified based on analysis of DNA barcodes, the male genitalia and wing pattern of adults. Our study revealed the widespread distribution of Ph. transcaucasicus throughout northern, northeastern and central Iran. Based on integrative analysis, a new subspecies, Ph. transcaucasicus flamma ssp. n., is described from the Zagros Mountains, the Central Iranian Range and the Alborz Mountains. Compared to the nominotypical subspecies, the new subspecies differs in well-developed orange pattern both of dorsal and ventral sides of the wings, shape of the valva in the male genitalia and distinct COI haplotypes. Additionally, distinct phylogenetic lineage of Ph. transcaucasicus is reported from Kerman Province. Diagnostic characters of the species of Ph. phoenicurus (Lederer, 1870) group of Iran are illustrated.

Sycetta is a poorly known genus of calcareous sponges, primarily distinguished by the presence of tubes (the choanocyte chambers) radially organized around the atrial cavity and completely separated from each other. These tubes, referred to as conical diverticula or more aptly as papillae, impart a distinctive appearance to the external morphology of the sponges. Herein, we present the description of Sycetta papillata sp. nov., based on the examination of specimens collected several decades ago in the state of Bahia, located in Northeastern Brazil. The presence of a single category of diactines and atrial region formed exclusively by tetractines makes this species unique within the genus. While some species of Sycetta have been documented in deep regions, exceeding depths of 200 meters, the distribution range of S. papillata sp. nov. spans from 0.5 to 25 meters in depth. A comparative table of Sycetta species is being provided.
