The early stages of a lycaenid butterfly, Miller’s Green Hairstreak Callophrys mystaphia Miller, 1913, are photographed and presented for the first time. Callophrys mystaphia is known to be endangered and is regarded to be endemic to Turkey based on recent studies. The species is considered to be local and isolated, with the likelihood of being one of the rarest butterfly species in Turkey. The distribution of this species and its food plant, Rheum ribes L. (Polygonaceae), in Turkey are investigated and the possible range of this butterfly species is highlighted. New data on the early stages, phenology, vertical distribution, and behaviour of adult and larva of C. mystaphia are presented. The larva was found to have been attacked by a newly discovered hymenopteran parasitoid species of the genus Cotesia Cameron, 1981 (Braconidae); the cocoons and the adult parasitoid are illustrated.

A new species of Platyplastinx Enderlein, 1937, Platyplastinx ibanezbernali sp. nov., is described from Ecuador based on morphological characters as well as DNA barcodes from male and female specimens. We provide the first brief description of an egg for the genus. Furthermore, this species is included in the key to world species of the genus, and we provide a key to adult males of Platyplastinx from Ecuador.

The only preserved (damaged, sex unknown) type specimen of Periscelis (Periscelis) winnertzii Egger, 1862 has been revised and designated as a lectotype. Its revision revealed that P. winnertzii has recently been misinterpreted and is in fact identical with P. (P.) fugax Roháček & Andrade, 2017, syn. nov. Therefore, true P. winnertzii is re-diagnosed, with all its synonomies listed. Periscelis winnertzii auctt. (not Egger, 1862) is described as a new species, P. laszloi sp. nov., based on a series of specimens from Hungary (holotype), Portugal, Switzerland and Slovakia. An intersex specimen of P. laszloi sp. nov., female puparium and cephalopharyngeal skeleton of 3rd instar larva (ex puparium) of P. winnertzii (all from Hungary) are described and illustrated. Both species are also characterized by means of the barcoding region of COI, illustrated in detail (including structures of male and female terminalia) and their biology and distribution reviewed with new original data.

The trictenotomid genus Autocrates Thomson, 1860 is remarkable for its large and robust adults, but its larval morphology and bionomics have been unknown over the last 160 years. Here, we describe and illustrate in detail the eggs, and also the first and last instar larva and the pupa of Autocrates maqueti Drumont, 2006, based on specimens reared from identified adults collected in South Korea. The first instar larva is very similar to the known trictenotomid larvae of the genus Trictenotoma Gray, 1832, sharing the following features: distinctly flattened and parallel-sided, well-sclerotized head and largely unpigmented postcephalic body, lyre-shaped frontal arms, very short coronal suture, five pairs of stemmata, asymmetrical and tridentate mandibles with mola, simple and apically upturned urogomphi, and absence of longitudinal ridges on the thorax and abdomen. Differences occur in the primary chaetotaxy. The last instar larva is almost identical with Trictenotoma in general appearance, but the longitudinal tergal ridges of Autocrates are much denser and more widely distributed than those of Trictenotoma. Our preliminary assessment of features of immature stages confirms a close relationship of Trictenotomidae with the “salpingid group”, i.e. Salpingidae, Boridae, Pyrochroidae and Pythidae. A sister group relationship with Pythidae is likely. The putative synapomorphy is the subdivision of the ventral element of tergites IX, even though this condition is not visible in the first instars of Autocrates, and quite indistinct (but recognizable) in the last larval stage. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. maqueti is provided. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis of trictenotomid species is presented using two mitochondrial genes (16S and COI). The morphology of eggs and biological information on feeding and oviposition behaviors are also provided with photographs of adults and eggs.

A taxonomic review of the tenebrionid genus Psammocryptus Kraatz, 1865 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae: Tentyriini) is given. Species of this genus are distributed in the south of Russia (Caspian depression), Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan and Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, occurring in areas with salty soil, often in tugay forests of river basins. Two new species and one new subspecies are described: P. bogatchevi Nabozhenko, Chigray & Bekchanov, sp. nov. (Kazakhstan: Syrdarya basin, Kyzylkum desert; Uzbekistan: Amudarya lower reaches and delta, Syrdarya basin, Kyzylkum desert); P. kompantsevae Nabozhenko & Chigray, sp. nov. (Uzbekistan and Tajikistan: Amudarya, upper river basin); P. bayeri vachshianus Nabozhenko & Chigray, subsp. nov. (Tajikistan: Vakhsh River valley). The nominotypical subspecies P. bayeri bayeri Koch, 1943 occurs in Turkmenistan (Tejen valley and Amudarya valley middle river course) and Tajikistan (a new record for the country: Kafirnigan River valley). Psammocryptus minutus (Tauscher, 1812) is recorded for Armenia for the first time, but the population from Yerevan has become extinct due to urbanization. The following synonymy is restituted: Psammocryptus minutus (Tauscher, 1812) = P. bergi Kuzin 1934, syn. restit.

Two new species of Strepsiptera of the genus Xenos Rossi, 1793 (Xenidae) from the New World are described. Both are endoparasites of social wasps of the genus Mischocyttarus Saussure, 1853 (Vespidae: Mischocyttarini). Xenos bicolor Benda & Straka, sp. nov., parasitizes Mischocyttarus navajo Bequaert, 1933, Mischocyttarus flavitarsis (Saussure, 1854), and Mischocyttarus pallidipectus (Smith, 1857), whereas Xenos pallens Benda & Straka, sp. nov., is a parasite of Mischocyttarus costaricensis Richards, 1945 (Vespidae: Polistinae: Mischocyttarini). Diagnoses and descriptions of female cephalothoraces are presented for all three species that parasitize species of Mischocyttarus. Diagnoses and descriptions of male cephalothecae are presented for Xenos bicolor sp. nov. and Xenos pallens sp. nov. Additionally, a key for Xenos species parasitic on Mischocyttarus is provided based on characters of the female cephalothorax and male cephalotheca.
