A new species of fossil hoverfly (Syrphidae: Eristalinae), i.e., Blera miocenica sp. nov. is described from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) of Bílina mine in the Most Basin, Czech Republic. The species description is based on a well preserved compressed fossil and it represents the first known fossil record of the genus Blera Billberg, 1820 so far. B. miocenica sp. nov. diagnosis is based on the wing venation and other body characters like the coloration pattern of abdomen. The resemblance of the new fossil to extant species of Blera is briefly discussed. The previously suggested palaeoenvironmental conditions at the type locality are in agreement with the knowledge on autecology of recent representatives of the genus Blera (i.e., larval feeding strategy, adult habitat preferences and flower visitation). Thus, we conclude that fossil hoverflies could be a helpful tool for the indication of past habitats.

The Carboniferous insect taxon †Stephanastus polinae was assigned to a monotypic new order †Skleroptera, which was postulated as the sister group of the clade Strepsiptera + Coleoptera (= Coleopterida). The placement of †Stephanastus in Holometabola and the proposed relationship with Coleopterida are very likely unjustified. Suggested shared derived features of Skleroptera + Coleopterida are vague, insufficiently documented (characters of proximal leg segments) or likely based on misinterpretation (wing veins). Based on the wing venation we suggest a position in the extinct hemimetabolous order †Protelytroptera.

The New World family Heterothripidae (~90 spp., four genera) comprises flower-feeding and ectoparasitic thrips. The monophyly of the group has remained untested and species-level relationships were unknown. Morphological (123 characters) and molecular (28S rDNA D2 and D3-D5, H3, and partial COI) data were compiled to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of this group. The ingroup was represented by 65 species of the four recognized Heterothripidae genera (Aulacothrips Hood, Heterothrips Hood, Lenkothrips De Santis & Sureda, and Scutothrips Stannard). The monophyly of Heterothripidae was recovered in the total evidence and molecular data only analyses with the ectoparasitic Aulacothrips placed as the sister group of the remaining Heterothripidae. The large genus Heterothrips (>80% of the species-level diversity), which was thoroughly sampled in our analyses (56 species), was recovered as paraphyletic with respect to Scutothrips and Lenkothrips. We conclude that additional morphological and molecular data would be desirable before revising the classification of Heterothripidae
新大陆异蓟马科（~90属，4属）包括花食性和外寄生蓟马。该类群的单系性尚未测试，物种水平的关系也未知。对形态（123个性状）和分子（28S rDNA D2和D3-D5，H3和部分COI）数据进行了汇编，以重建该类群的系统发育关系。该类群由四个公认的异刺桐科属（Aulacothrips Hood、异刺桐Hood、Lenkothrips De Santis&Sureda和Scutothrips Stannard）中的65种代表。在全部证据和仅分子数据分析中恢复了异刺蛾科的单系性，将外寄生Aulacothrips作为其余异刺蛾的姐妹群。在我们的分析中，对大属异thrips（>80%的物种级多样性）（56个物种）进行了彻底采样，相对于Scutothrips和Lenkothrips，该属被恢复为副系。我们得出的结论是，在修改异刺蛾科的分类之前，需要更多的形态学和分子数据

Stephanidae (Hymenoptera, Stephanoidea) are solitary idiobiont ectoparasitoids of wood boring insect larvae. Here we present two genera, i.e., Afromegischus van Achterberg, 2002 and Foenatopus Smith, 1861, and five species, i.e., A. gigas (Schletterer, 1889), F. bisignatus Aguiar & Jennings, 2010, F. crispus Aguiar, 2010, F. nimaarkanii Ghafouri Moghaddam & Rakhshani sp. n. and F. prousti Aguiar & Turrisi, 2010 from Iran. Specimens were collected in southeastern Iran (Kerman and Sistan-o Baluchestan) from unknown hosts. Their morphological features and distribution are discussed in relation to the overall knowledge in the target and adjacent regions. Foenatopus nimaarkanii sp. n. is incorporated to the key for the identification of Foenatopus species with double spots on metasomal tergites.

Herein we describe two new species of Brazilian springtails, both from Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Brachystomella nordestina sp.n. resembles other Neotropical congeners with 8+8 eyes, postantennal organ with four lobes and 19/19/18 chaetae on tibiotarsi I–III, but it is unique in the combination of trilobed apical bulb, 2+2 dorsal chaetae on thorax I, male’s genital plate with 4+4 modified eugenital chaetae and 2+2 hr chaetae on lateral anal valves. Seira (Lepidocyrtinus) dapeste sp.n. is similar to other Neotropical species of Lepidocyrtinus Börner, 1903 in long antennae, mesonotum projected over head and presence of modified blunt macrochaetae on dorsal furca, but differs in the combination of dorsal head chaetotaxy, 14–19 a macrochaetae on thorax II, 7–9 central macrochaetae on thorax III and 4 central macrochaetae on abdomen II. We also present a detailed comparison and an updated key of the Neotropical species of Brachystomella Ågren, 1903.
在这里，我们描述了两个新的种巴西弹尾，都来自里约热内卢Grande do Norte，巴西。Brachystomella nordestinasp.n。它与其他新热带同属动物相似，有8+8眼，触角后器官有四个裂片，在胫I - iii上有19/19/18毛，但其独特之处在于顶端球茎有三叶，胸I上有2+2背毛，雄性生殖器板上有4+4改良的真生殖毛，侧肛瓣上有2+2毛。鳞翅目(鳞翅目)与LepidocyrtinusBörner, 1903的其他新热带物种在长触角、头顶上突出的间皮和在背毛上存在改进的钝大毛囊方面相似，但在背头毛囊的组合上不同，14-19个大毛囊在胸II上，7-9个中央大毛囊在胸III上，4个中央大毛囊在腹II上。我们还提出了1903年BrachystomellaÅgren新热带种的详细比较和更新的关键字。

Miracinae is one of the least studied braconid subfamilies with only two extant genera. Among them, Centistidea Rohwer is a speciose and widely distributed genus. East Palearctic and Oriental species of Centistidea are revised and eight new species are described, seven of which are from south India, C. crenulator sp. n., C. glabrator sp. n., C. lineator sp. n., C. mellapicalis sp. n., C. procarinator sp. n., C. rugator sp. n., C. scutellator sp. n.; and one from South Korea, C. albomarginata sp. n. A key to the extant species is provided. Distribution pattern of Centistidea and character plasticity within species are discussed.
