Nine new species of the genus Singilis from Africa are described: (s.str.) shavrini sp. n. (Kenya, Tanzania), S. africaorientalis (Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Kenya, RSA, Zambia, Zimbabwe), burtoni (Zambia, paganeli (RSA), somalicus (Somalia), haekeli (Zambia), crypticus (Cameroon), pallens (Namibia) and parvulus (Zimbabwe). One subspecies kenyacus ssp. n., is described too. Differential diagnosis related allardi (Basilewsky, 1963), ambulans (Peringuey, 1896), cribricollis 1904), pusillus...
Contrary to the subtle differences of habitus found between many species Timarcha their internal sacs male genitalia have shown a remarkable variation. Thirty-two Palaearctic taxa, mostly from Iberian Peninsula, been analyzed for this trait, which can be used diagnosis and also establishing groups close relatedness in agreement mainly with genetic analyses. According new synonymies taxonomical changes are proposed: T. intermedia carmelenae Petitpierre, 2013 stat. nov., kiesenwetteri Kraatz,...
Megadrypta mirabilis n. gen. sp. from Guangdong (China) is described. The new genus distinguished all known genera by a combination of large body size, pronotal bead well marked, sloping shoulders, reduced hind wings, smooth claws and stylomeres, number (7–8) periscutellar pores. Some remarks are made upon the relationships with other Dryptini, raising to rank taxa Nesiodrypta Jeannel, 1949 Prionodrypta 1949, formerly regarded as subgenera Drypta Latreille, 1796. A key this tribe proposed.
The paper deals with the taxonomy of bicolor-group species genus Singilis Rambur, 1837 known from North Africa and South Spain. S. soror is treated as polytipic one new combination synonymy are proposed: melillensis Escalera, 1914 comb. n., pardoi Mateu, 1954 syn. n. = riffensis 1837. A subspecies Algeria described: oranensis ssp. key to provided taxonomic position these taxa discussed.
The new species from Mindanao (the Philippines) Thopeutica (s.str.) wiesneri sp. nov. is described. compared with T. angulihumerosa (W. Horn, 1929). study of type material allowed to establish the synonymy: juergenwiesneri Schüle, 2017 syn. = Illustrations habitus and diagnostic characters are provided.
Two new species of the genus Odochilus Harold, 1877 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae: Odochilini) from Oriental Region are described as follows: O. shavrini Rakovič & Anichtchenko, Philippines (Mindanao) and borneensis Malaysia (Sarawak). Photographs their habitus presented. Differential diagnoses mentioned.
Abstract A new species, Scymbalopsis persica sp. nov. (Staphylinidae: Paederinae: Paederini), is described and illustrated based on three specimens collected in Lorestan province, Iran. The species can be distinguished from the remaining of genus by paler coloration, moderately wide forebody with dense long setation, other details morphology body aedeagus. Detailed bionomic data for S. are presented. An additional record Kyrgyzstan photograph habitus kirghizica Gusarov, 1994, a key to...
New species of Omophron (s.str.) from southeastern Africa, O. rhodesianum sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae), belonging to the “capense”—species group, is described, illustrated and compared with closely related species.
During the revision of genus Coptodera Dejean, 1825, a new species from West Africa, belonging to previously considered monotypic subgenus Coptoderinella Hansen, 1968 was discovered. The description (Coptoderinella) martinui sp. nov. and redefined diagnosis are given in this work.

The genus similar to Physocrotaphus Parry, with respect shape structure of ligula paraglossae. two genera can be diagnosed easily by median tooth mentum, bifid in Physocrotaphus, i.e. n. has simple, narrow pointed. Is distinguishable all other known Physocrotaphini narrower pronotum, very stout combined long simple mentum male sternites 2 3 one big shared depression.
