 Dorcadion (Cribridorcadion) darakiensis sp. nov. from Kurdistan Province, Iran, is described, illustrated and compared with a similar species D. serouensis Kadlec, 2006 from western Azerbaijan Province, Iran. Distributional data on three other species of the genus are provided and represent first records for Kurdistan Province.A new species of the intertidal rove beetle genus Bryothinusa, B. japonica sp. nov. is described, and B. koreana Ahn Jeon, 2004 is recorded from Japan for the first time. These species are illustrated and compared with similar species. A key to the Japanese Bryothinusa species and a checklist of the known Bryothinusa species are provided.Three new species are added to the genus Epipompilus (Hymenoptera Pompilidae) in Australia. Epipompilus mirabundus sp. nov., E. taree sp. nov., and E. namadgi sp. nov. are described and illustrated. A key to males of Epipompilus is provided. A novel association of Epipompilus and Sceliphron formosum (Hymenoptera Sphecidae) is also documented. The larva of E. mirabundus sp. nov. was found sharing single nest cell with a Sceliphron larva; this association could be the result of a parasitised spider being brought back to the nest by the Sceliphron adult.A new fish species, Stolephorus tamilensis sp. nov., is described from the East coast of India. The major distinguishing characters are 5-6 small needle-like pre-pelvic scutes on belly; maxilla tip pointed, reaching to border of operculum, concave and indented in the preoperculum; 25-28 gill rakers on lower lobe of the first branchial arch; dorsal fin without spine; 17-19 anal-fin rays. Moreover, S. tamilensis sp. nov. present higher average genetic divergence values at mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S rDNA loci in comparison with congeners. Also, nucleotide diagnostic characters exclusive to S. tamilensis are identified. Neighbor-joining analysis revealed close relation between S. tamilensis  and S. andhraensis.Two new species of the genus Dacus Fabricius, namely D. (Mellesis) jacobi David Sachin and D. (Mellesis) viraktamathi David Hancock of tribe Dacini are described from India. Dacus (Mellesis) maculipterus White is recorded for the first time from India.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/U0126.html  An updated key to species of genus Dacus from India, Bhutan and Sri Lanka is also provided.Within the genus Melanogaster Rondani, 1857, the group of species characterized by their yellow wing base was named as M. jaroslavensis group and revised for the first time. Redescriptions of M. jaroslavensis (Stackelberg, 1922), M. kirgisorum (Stackelberg, 1952), and M. tadzhikorum (Stackelberg, 1952) are provided. A new species of the M. jaroslavensis group, Melanogaster raccoon sp. nov., from Afghanistan, is described. The male of this new species differs from those of other known Melanogaster species by the following combination of characters yellowish wing base, pale body pile, without dark pile, almost flat face, and surstyli short and emarginated apically in ventral view. Females of M. raccoon sp. nov. differ from those of any other Melanogaster species by a combination of yellowish wing base and frons without transverse furrows. An identification key to the species of the M. jaroslavensis group is presented.We present new information on the poorly known genus of stick insects, Canuleius Stål, 1875, with redescriptions of two Brazilian species, Canuleius grandis Toledo Piza, 1936 and Canuleius sanguinolentus (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907) comb. nov., the latter herein transferred from Bacteria Berthold, 1827. Type material of both species was examined, as well as additional specimens recently collected and deposited at the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP). The types of two other species in the genus, Canuleius affinis Toledo Piza, 1936 and Canuleius brevipes Toledo Piza, 1936, were also examined and both species are herein synonymised under C.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/U0126.html  grandis (syn. nov.). The study includes the first descriptions of the male of C. grandis, the female of C. sanguinolentus and the eggs of both species, which are the first descriptions of eggs of Canuleius. Some notes are presented on the biology of both species, including the first observations of mating and oviposition in Heteronemiidae. Taxonomic aspects of Canuleius are discussed.The Danish naturalist Peter Wilhelm Lund (1801-1880), regarded as the father of Brazilian palaeontology and archaeology, is known mainly for his work with fossil mammals of Quaternary age from the limestone caves of the Lagoa Santa region in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. However, during one decade of fieldwork (1835-1844), he also collected a large number of remains of other animal groups from these caves. Birds were well represented and, following assessment by the Danish ornithologist Oluf Winge (1855-1889), most of the specimens collected by Lund belong to species still living in the area. Here we present an overview of the bird remains (fossil and recent), found by Lund and others in the region, we update their taxonomic attributions, and comment on the history of the material, making information previously published only in Danish available in English.Two species of Maera Leach, 1814, a species of Meximaera Barnard, 1969 and a species of Orientomaera Ariyama, 2018 included in the Maera clade, are described from Japan. Maera loveni (Bruzelius, 1859) was collected from the Sea of Japan and can be distinguished from its congeners by the very large body size and the gnathopod 2 palm defined by a blunt tooth bearing a strong robust seta. Maera sagamiensis sp. nov. from Sagami Bay is characterized by the presence of small notches on the coxae 1-3. Meximaera mooreana (Myers, 1989) was collected from Wakayama Prefecture and has two distinct characters the male gnathopod 2 with wide basis and the very long uropod 3. Morphological characters of the Japanese specimens resemble well those in the literature, but the mandibular palp article 1 is projected acutely. Orientomaera incisa sp. nov. was recently collected from Wakayama Prefecture and its gnathopods 2 in both sexes bear a distinctive incision on the palm. Keys to species of Meximaera in the world and Japanese species of the Maera-clade are provided.
