Omorgus (Omorgus) khandesh (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Trogidae), a new species from India, along with an annotated catalogue of **the Oriental and Palearctic species of the subgenus Omorgus Erichson, 1847**

2023-02-02T12:57:01+13:00

A new species of keratin beetle from Western India, Omorgus (Omorgus) khandesh Strümpher & Kalawate, new species, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically most similar to O. (O.) rimulosus (Haaf, 1957). The latter is redescribed and illustrated to enable accurate recognition of both species. Based on this work the following taxonomic changes are proposed: Three species are transferred from the subgenus Afromorgus Scholtz, 1986 to the nominotypical subgenus: O. (O.) inclusus (Walker 1858), O. (O.) maissouri (Haaf, 1945a) and O. (O.) rimulosus (Haaf, 1957). Lastly, we include an annotated catalogue of the species of the nominotypical subgenus Omorgus known from the Oriental and Palaearctic regions.

**Redescription of the genus Antrosedes Reitter, 1912 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae, Leptodirini)**

2023-02-02T12:56:58+13:00

A redescription of the genus Antrosedes Reitter, 1912 is given. An identification key for both species of the genus, as well as data on their distribution is provided.

**Catalog of the genus Cacia Newman (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) in the Philippines with description of two new species**

2023-02-02T12:56:55+13:00

A catalog of the genus Cacia Newman, 1842 is provided for the Philippines accounting to 47 species and 2 subspecies is provided. Cacia (s. str.) cabrasae sp. nov. and Cacia (Ipocregyes) manobo sp. nov. are proposed for the Philippine fauna.

**Redescription and Molecular Characterization of Trichotylenchus dispersus (Nematoda: Dolichodoridae) in China**

2023-02-02T12:56:52+13:00

A species of Trichotylenchus nematode was isolated from the rhizosphere of banana root in Leizhou City, Guangdong Province, China. The species assumes the following characteristics: open C-shaped body; head offset from body; lateral field with three incisures, pharyngeal and tail regions irregularly areolated; stylet 18.6–20.7 µm long; pharyngeal gland not extending over intestine; fibrous tissue present in the intestine; post-anal intestinal sac present; elongate-subcylindroid tail, bluntly conoid terminus, lack of striations, and containing 34–44 annuli. In addition, scanning electron microscopy was used to elucidate some morphological details, but only some juveniles were observed. Partial 18S rRNA, ITS, and 28S D2–D3 expansion sequences were amplified with universal primers and deposited in GenBank under accession numbers ON622716, ON622717, and ON622714, respectively. Here, this species was identified as T. dispersus [(Siddiqi & Sharma, 1995) Geraert, 2011].

**Family Nogodinidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) from the Canary Islands, with the description of a new species of the genus Morsina Melichar, 1902**

2023-02-02T12:56:50+13:00

Planthopper family Nogodinidae is recorded for the first time from the Canary Islands after a new species, Morsina gomerae sp. nov., described from the dry landscapes of La Gomera island. Mikewilsonia Holzinger, 2019 is placed in synonymy under Morsina Melichar, 1902. Mikewilsonia kunzi Holzinger, 2019 is transferred to Morsina with a new combination proposed—Morsina kunzi (Holzinger, 2019), comb. nov.

**A new species of Hea Distant, 1906 from China, with annotated catalogue for the genus (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadettinae)**

2023-02-02T12:56:47+13:00

A new species of cicada, Hea qiuae Wang, sp. n. (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadettinae), is described and illustrated from Chongqing and Yunnan, Southwest China. An annotated catalogue and an updated key to the four species of Hea are presented.

A new tribe, genus and species of the tenebrionid subfamily Lagriinae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from the Eocene Baltic amber

2023-02-02T12:56:45+13:00

A new genus and species are described from the Eocene Baltic amber: Archaeoluprops groehni gen. et sp. nov. This fossil darkling beetle of the subfamily Lagriinae (Tenebrionidae) is externally similar to species of the tribes Lupropini and Goniaderini having the robust pubescent body and estriate elytra, but differs in the absence of intersegmental membranes between abdominal ventrites 3–5 (tentyrioid hinging) and accordingly the primary absence of defensive glands. Combination of plesiomorphic and apomorphic characters and other differences from all extinct and extant lagriine tribes allows to establish the new tribe Archaeolupropini trib. nov. (type genus Archaeoluprops), which is probably a basal group in relation to the non-basal clade Lagriini–Chaerodini–Lupropini–Pycnocerini–Goniaderini–(probably Gonialaenini) + Laenini. All Baltic amber lagriine tribes are absent in extant faunas of middle latitudes of Europa.

**Two new species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Yunnan Province, southwestern China**

2023-02-02T12:56:42+13:00

Two new species of nemourid stonefly, Amphinemura kondratieffi sp. nov. and A. setosa sp. nov., are described from Yunnan Province of southwestern China. The relationships between the new species and their related species within the genus or species group are discussed.

**The name of the margay (Mammalia, Felidae): Felis wiedii Schinz, 1821 has nomenclatural priority over F. macroura Wied, 1821**
