Three new species of the genus Ancyronyx Erichson, 1847 from Greater Mindanao are described: A. kalasan sp. n., A. manobo sp. n., and A. zamboangaensis sp. n. Illustrations of habitus and line drawings of genitalia are presented. Molecular species delimitation using COI mtDNA barcodes supports the morphological species concept.

A new mayfly species, Potamanthellus panayensis sp. n. (Neoephemeridae) is described from Panay Island, Philippines, based on nymphs. Supplementary nymphal description of P. caenoides (Ulmer, 1939) and a provisional description of another Potamanthellus species from Mindanao Island, Philippines are provided. The potential underestimated diversity of Potamanthellus in Southeast Asia is discussed in line with the species delimitation in this study based on COI sequences.

Donaciolagria Pic, 1914 is a small genus of colourful Lagriinae Latreille, 1825 (Tenebrionidae Latreille, 1802) restricted to the southern Himalayas and montane systems of China, northern Indochina, as well as present in Taiwan. In the present paper the following five new species are described and illustrated, in addition to the 13 previously known valid taxa: Donaciolagria cupreoaurata sp. n. (China: Yunnan), D. evanescens sp. n. (China: Yunnan), D. mimica sp. n. (China: Hubei, Shaanxi, Sichuan), D. regia sp. n. (India: Arunachal Pradesh), and D. weigeli sp. n. (China: Yunnan). One new synonymy is proposed: Donaciolagria longipennis Pic, 1914 = D. longipennis var. jeanvoinei Pic, 1927 syn. n. A lectotype is designated for Donaciolagria longipennis var. jeanvoinei Pic, 1927. Donaciolagria basipes Pic, 1927 and D. pici Borchmann, 1936 are redescribed. A key to and a checklist of Donaciolagria species are presented, supplemented with new records and habitus images of several known species.

The current reliability of species identifications by the Nature Identification API (NIA) of the app ObsIdentify is tested with a Coleoptera (Insecta) sample set from Germany. Seventy-five photographic beetle records taken with a smartphone camera under “average user” conditions are analysed in terms of correctness of the app’s identification result on various taxonomic levels, the displayed confidence level of the identification and the time until validation of the results. More than 60% of samples were identified correctly at the species level, but only 53% were validated within a month. The mechanisms by which users can upload pictures of their observations to be identified by the artificial intelligence and the validation process by experts are briefly explained. Regional specifics and further opportunities for data usage as well as currently existing problems are discussed and improvements are suggested. The expert validation of records is identified as a huge quality advantage of the Obs-Services. They are generally found to be a promising tool for lay people and professional institutions, despite still existing deficiencies such as identification failure in mutilated specimens, cryptic and rare species, doubtful species rarity ratings as well as the still insufficient capacity of validation. Experts and institutions are encouraged to volunteer as validators and collaborators.

An account is given of the Chyromyidae (Diptera) of Cyprus. First records are given for 15 species in the genus Aphaniosoma Becker, one in Gymnochiromyia Hendel and three in Chyromya Robineau-Desvoidy. Two species are described as new to science: Aphaniosoma cypriense sp. n. and A. pteropus sp. n. The possible origin of this fauna and its affinity with that of neighbouring countries is discussed.

A new genus of Microveliinae from New Guinea, Shaverdinia gen. n., with two new species, S. shaverdella sp. n. (type species) and S. balkei sp. n., is described. Important characters are a long pronotum of the apterous morph, short tarsi bearing simple claws, a forewing without spots, with four closed cells and in males a long protibial grasping comb and a proctiger that bears an asymmetrical process on the right side. In addition, Shaverdinia gen. n. is characterized by a strong size dimorphism, males being much smaller than females. In New Guinea and Australia this character is shared by Phoreticovelia Polhemus & Polhemus, 2000, but this genus does not exhibit any of the aforementioned characteristics. Microvelia gestroi Kirkaldy, 1901 is discussed. A worldwide overview on size dimorphism in Veliidae is added.
