Abstract. The ant fauna of the Riyadh Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) was studied and reviewed based on literature and newly collected material. In total, 93 species were collected from Riyadh Province belonging to the genera Aenictus Shuckard, 1840; Brachymyrmex Mayr, 1868; Brachyponera Emery, 1900; Camponotus Mayr, 1861; Cardiocondyla Emery, 1869; Carebara Westwood, 1840; Cataglyphis Foerster, 1850; Crematogaster Lund, 1831; Dorylus Fabricius, 1793; Hypoponera Santschi, 1938; Lepisiota Santschi, 1926; Lioponera Mayr, 1879; Messor Forel, 1890; Monomorium Mayr, 1855; Nylanderia Emery, 1906; Paratrechina Motschoulsky, 1863; Pheidole Westwood, 1839; Plagiolepis Mayr, 1861; Solenopsis Westwood, 1840; Strumigenys Smith, 1860; Syllophopsis Santschi, 1915; Tapinoma Foerster, 1850; Tetramorium Mayr, 1855; Tetraponera Smith, 1852; and Trichomyrmex Mayr, 1865. Eight species are recorded for the first time from the KSA namely: Cataglyphis fisheri Sharaf & Aldawood, 2015; Nylanderia indica (Forel, 1894); Cardiocondyla bicoronata Seifert, 2003; C. minutior Forel, 1899; C. melana Seifert, 2003; C. yemeni Collingwood & Agosti 1996; Trichomyrmex lameerei (Forel, 1902); and Tr. oscaris (Forel, 1894). The total number of species now known from Riyadh Province has increased from 96 to 109. These belong to 25 genera and five subfamilies. The total number of species currently known from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) increased from 237 to 245. Notes on the ecology and biology of species are provided, when available. A new combination, Trichomyrmex barbatulum (Mayr, 1877) comb. nov. is proposed.

Abstract. Nine species of the genus Messor Forel have been reported from Cyprus to date. However, based on our samples and examined type material we confirm the presence of only three species on the island. Messor bucephalus sp. nov. is described as a new species to science, while M. orientalis Emery and M. syriacus Tohmé are redescribed based on the material from Cyprus. Their distribution, biology and possible misidentification with other species of the genus are discussed.

Abstract. Reunionese species of Microlaemus Lefkovitch are reviewed and a new species with modified male head is described. Microlaemus xenocephalus sp. nov. is the only known species in the genus with a strong sexual dimorphism in which males have an expanded head. In addition, the new species can be readily distinguished from its congeners by the large body size (2.8–3.5 mm vs. less than 2.4 mm in length) as well as the form of the male aedeagus (very elongate aedeagus, with each parameral lobe bearing a large, sabre-shaped apical seta). The three distinctive species from Réunion Island (i.e., M. mirificus (Grouvelle), M. sulcifrons (Grouvelle), and M. xenocephalus sp. nov.) are diagnosed, illustrated, and compared to each other. Morphology of male genitalia is used for the first time for diagnostic purposes within the species mentioned above. Finally, the key to species from Réunion Island and Mauritius is updated, and an annotated species list of Microlaemus of the world is provided.

Abstract. The Neotropical genus Banyallarga Navás, 1916 is recorded from Brazil for the first time through the discovery of a remarkable new species. Banyallarga (Histricoverpa) tocantinensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on male adults collected in the Cerrado biome of Tocantins State, northern Brazil. The new species is most similar to Banyallarga nica Prather, 2004 from Nicaragua. It can be recognized mainly by the morphology of tergum X and the inferior appendages. Additionally, an updated identification key to the species of the subgenus B. (Histricoverpa) Prather, 2004 is presented.

Abstract. The microcaddisfly genus Metrichia Ross is the second most species-rich within Ochrotrichiinae, comprising 141 species distributed mainly in the Central America. Recently, a large number of Metrichia species have been described for the Brazilian fauna; however, these species only are known from the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, and Cerrado biomes. Aiming to fill these gaps, three new species of Metrichia are described and illustrated based on males collected in three protected and preserved areas of Brazilian Amazonia: Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, Parque Nacional Serra do Divisor and Parque Nacional Serra da Mocidade. Metrichia divisor sp. nov., Metrichia flinti sp. nov. and Metrichia myriachaeta sp. nov., can be recognized mainly by the type and position of setae on the preanal appendage and inferior appendage and by the morphology of the dorsolateral hook and phallic apparatus. Metrichia flinti sp. nov. is clearly a member of the M. aberrans Group based on the absence of pouches in abdominal segments and phallus with two spines subapically. However, neither M. divisor sp. nov. nor M. myriachaeta sp. nov. fits clearly in any of the current species groups in Metrichia, and hence they are not assigned to any of these species groups in this study. Finally, we provide a checklist of the Metrichia species from Brazil.
摘要微蝇属(microcaddisfly genus Metrichia Ross)是微蝇科中第二丰富的物种，共有141种，主要分布在中美洲。近年来，在巴西动物群中发现了大量的Metrichia种;然而，这些物种只在大西洋森林、卡廷加和塞拉多生物群系中被发现。为了填补这些空白，本文根据在巴西亚马逊河流域三个保护区(Floresta Nacional do Tapajós、Parque Nacional Serra do Divisor和Parque Nacional Serra da Mocidade)收集的雄性物种描述和说明了三个新的Metrichia物种。分头Metrichia divisor sp. nov.、flinti sp. nov.和myriachaeta sp. nov.主要通过肛前附属物和下附属物上刚毛的类型和位置以及背外侧钩和生殖器的形态来识别。flinti Metrichia sp. 11 .根据腹部节没有袋和阴茎尖下有两根刺，显然是M. aberrans组的成员。然而，无论是M. divisor sp. 11还是M. myriachaeta sp. 11都不属于Metrichia现有的任何物种群，因此在本研究中它们没有被分配到任何这些物种群中。最后，我们提供了一份来自巴西的Metrichia物种清单。

Abstract. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene has been used broadly as a DNA barcoding region or and relevant molecular marker for phylogenetic reconstruction. The exact region that has been standardized as a universal barcode is the one amplified by Folmer's primers HCO-LCO. Nevertheless, many other primers have been developed for the amplification of the COI gene, among them the Jerry-Pat primers. This paper aims to analyze the performance of different regions of the COI, in particular those amplified by Folmer's and Jerry-Pat primers, on different taxonomic levels by using specimens from a complex and homogeneous beetle family, Mordellidae Latreille, 1802. To achieve this goal, we used two different datasets: Jerry-Pat matrix included 48 sequences from specimens sampled in the field and 19 sequences from GenBank, whereas Folmer's matrix included 91 sequences from BOLD; representing 24 and 85 species respectively. Our results show different properties of both COI regions regarding GC content (3.7% lower in Jerry-Pat fragment), sequence length, interspecific divergence, evolutionary models, and saturation analyses. We also found that the two studied regions of the COI perform differently, showing notable differences in the topology of the reconstructed trees. Finally, a discussion of the pros and cons of each region is provided. This is a first glance at the molecular data of Mordellidae, where we provided a general picture of the evolutionary history of the family and included new sequences for Mediimorda Méquignon, 1946 and Stenalia Mulsant, 1856.
