We report a new species and new records of Neoperla species from the Philippines. Neoperla pangantihoni sp. n. from Palawan is described, and for the first time, a stonefly species, N. atropennis Banks, 1924, is recorded from Camiguin. We also provide supplementary descriptions for N. recta Banks, 1913, N. sabang Sivec & Stark, 2011, and N. salakot Sivec & Stark, 2011. Furthermore, these morphological diagnoses are coupled with COI barcodes analyzed using pairwise distances and a statistical haplotype network.

Three new species of the genus Hydraena Kugelann, 1794 of the Philippine Island of Palawan are described in detail, namely H. angelitofelipepunoi sp. n., H. buschietanni sp. n., and H. perpusilla sp. n., along with faunistic records of further species of the genus from previously unexplored areas of Balabac and Palawan. The genital characters of the new species are illustrated by digital line drawings. Photographs of their habitus and type localities are provided. The habitat conditions of their collection sites are assessed and implications of the usefulness of Hydraena species as monitoring organisms for the conservation of vulnerable habitats are briefly discussed. An updated checklist of the Hydraena of Greater Palawan is provided which now comprises 15 described species, of which 13 are endemic to this intra-Philippine island complex.
本文详细描述了1794年菲律宾巴拉望岛水螅属的3个新种(angelitofelipepunoi sp. n., H. buschietanni sp. n.,和H. perpusilla sp. n.),以及在Balabac和巴拉望岛未开发地区发现的该属其他物种的区系记录。新物种的生殖器特征由数字线条图说明。提供了它们的习性和类型位置的照片。评价了水螅类采集点的生境条件,并简要讨论了水螅类作为监测生物对脆弱生境保护的意义。提供了大巴拉望岛水螅的最新清单,目前包括15种已描述的物种,其中13种是菲律宾内部岛屿群的特有物种。

The mesothoracic flight apparatus of preserved and freshly killed specimens of Ephemera vulgata is examined in detail by means of functional morphological examinations. The basic drive mechanism of the forewing of Ephemera vulgata constitutes a four-bar kinematic chain, which encompasses the whole mesothorax. Based on this reassessment, the operating principles of the different subsystems of the flight apparatus of the mayfly were newly analysed. As in the Neoptera, the indirect dorsolongitudinal downstroke and dorsoventral upstroke muscles rotate the wing around an axis which runs through the main wing joint of the fulcrum. In contrast to the Neoptera, the wing is driven via the posterior notal wing process and fourth axillary. A strong direct subalar muscle is able to move the subalare (together with the pleural ridge) inwards and to affect the wingstroke via a bistable click mechanism in this unusual way. The axillary sclerites, two frontal first axillaries and one caudal fourth axillary, permit the radioanal plate to rotate forward–backward on the fulcrum. This motion system, which is superimposed on the kinematic chain mechanism, permits alterations of the wingstroke plane. A short muscle of the radioanal plate allows adjusting the passive pronation of the wing during the downstroke and achieving an increase of the aerodynamical angle of attack. The step-by-step derivability of basal flight mechanisms of the main groups of Pterygota indicates a paranotal origin of the wings. The possibility that the Ephemeroptera and Neoptera constitute sister groups is discussed.

The male of Haliplus (Liaphlus) madagascariensis Vondel & Bergsten, 2012 is illustrated, and additional faunistic records are noted. Additional description is given of the variation in the elytral maculation of H. (L.) alluaudi Régimbart, 1903. Records for specimens of African Haliplidae not yet recorded by Vondel (2010) and Vondel & Bergsten (2012) are presented. Some new country records are established and distribution maps are presented.

This paper presents a first critical review of the beetle species (Insecta: Coleoptera) reported from the (former) Dutch Antilles as well as a history of beetle collecting and collectors on the islands. The introductory section provides a concise overview of the location, climate, geology and vegetation of the six islands. The catalogue is concluded with miscellaneous additions, corrections and annotations to the published records of the other islands of the northern Leeward Islands, and a comprehensive bibliography.

The caudiferaria-, phantasmah- and pardata-group of the genus Cyphura Warren, 1902 (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) are revised. Eight new species are described. There are six new species in the caudiferaria-group: Cyphura angusta, C. continua, C. dilatata, C. interrupta, C. laeensis and C. tobeloensis. In this group, a holotype is identified for Srophidia clarissima Butler, 1879 and a lectotype is designated for Urapteroides latimarginata Swinhoe, 1902. In the phantasmah-group, two new species are described: C. astrolabensis and C. mastrigti. In this group a lectotype and paralectotypes are designated for Strophidia phantasmah Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875. In the pardata-group, a lectotype and paralectotypes are designated for Cyphura pardata Warren, 1906.
