Four new species of Glyphidocera, Walsingham, 1892, (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea: Autostichidae) from a primary dry forest in western Mexico are described and include: G. chamela, new species, G. unam, new species, G. jalisco, new species, and G. occidentalis, new species. Color images of the imagos and illustrations of the male and female genitalia are provided.

Larval black flies in the Simulium (Eusimulium) aureum Fries species group from the Greek island of Rhodes were chromosomally analyzed to clarify species limits and relationships with mainland taxa. Three species were identified, corresponding with earlier morphological identifications: S. flexibranchium Crosskey, S. petricolum (Rivosecchi), and S. rubzovianum (Sherban). The morphologically established endemic species S. flexibranchium shows chromosomal banding equivalency with S. angustipes Edwards, a widespread Palearctic species; the pair, therefore, are homosequential species, the ninth such example in the Simuliidae. The species status of S. flexibranchium is maintained on the basis of structural characters that allow diagnosis across the four islands from which it is known in the Aegean Sea. The chromosomal banding sequences of Rhodian populations of S. petricolum and S. rubzovianum, as well as a population of the latter that we examined from Cyprus, conform to the classic sequences of these species across their ranges, but tend toward the monomorphic condition typical of island black flies. The first definitive hybrid in the S. aureum group, a larva of S. flexibranchium × S. petricolum, was discovered chromosomally, and suggests an overall hybridization rate in the S. aureum group, with hybrid survival to the late larval stage, of less than 0.1%.

The fauna of aquatic Neuropterida of Iowa is documented. We list one species of dobsonfly, three species of fishflies, four alderflies (Megaloptera), and two spongillaflies (Neuroptera).

A collection of fleas was acquired independently from Costa Rica by two different field teams. Among these collections were a sizable series of Kohlsia mojica Tipton and Méndez which were previously reported only from the northern province of Bocas del Toro, Panama. These new records were present in two provinces of Costa Rica (Alajuela and Puntarenas). Additional specimens discovered in the Robert Traub flea collection in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, heretofore unreported, included specimens from San Jose and Cartago provinces, Costa Rica. The primary host for K. mojica is the Mexican deer mouse, Peromyscus mexicanus Saussure. Collectively, five species of Kohlsia have been reported within the geographical boundaries of Costa Rica and Panama [K. mojica, K. azuerensis Tipton and Méndez, K. keenani Tipton and Méndez, K. graphis graphis (Rothschild), and K. traubi Tipton and Méndez]. A key is provided for these five species. Specimens of K. g. graphis are reported herein for the first time from Guatemala and Mexico, and the variegated squirrel Sciurus variegatoides Ogilby represents a new host record for K. g. graphis. Table 1 is included to illustrate the distribution of all known Kohlsia species. In addition, Kohlsia campaniger Jordan (an extralimital species) described from a single female specimen from Ecuador is discussed. Several morphological characters are provided to distinguish K. campaniger and Kohlsia felteni Smit. Jellisonia ortizi Vargas (currently valid in Kohlsia) is hypothesized to be a new synonym of Kohlsia fournieri Vargas. Kohlsia keenani is reported for the first time from Handleyomys alfaroi (J. A. Allen), Handleyomys chapmani (Thomas) and Nephelomys albigularis (Tomes).

A new species of the spider-web inhabiting cimicoid family Plokiophilidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Cimicomorpha) is presented.

A review of the inquiline oak gall wasp species of the genus Synergus Hartig that are known to be associated with Cynipini woolly galls on oaks (Quercus L.) from the New World is conducted for the first time. Redescriptions, remarks, pictures and/or new location and biological data for the species previously known from the New World are given. Comments on morphological variability and host associations of different species, and especially that of S. pseudofilicornisLobato-Vila and Pujade-Villar, 2018, are also provided. A new species that emerged from galls collected in Mexico is formally described and illustrated: Synergus forcadellae Lobato-Vila and Pujade-Villar, new species. An identification key to all the species addressed in this work is provided. Synergus nigerFullaway, 1911 is considered a new synonym of S. citriformis (Ashmead, 1885), and S. similisGillette, 1896 a new synonym of S. filicornisCameron, 1883.

Flynnia McKamey is placed in new synonymy under Paraphetea Sakakibara and Creão-Duarte, which is referred to the tribe Thuridini, new placement. The combination Paraphetea fascipennis (Funkhouser) is reinstated as valid. The species Paraphetea gibbula (Fairmaire) is known from the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso. Peru is added to the country records for Paraphetea fascipeninis (Funkhouser). A key is provided to the four species of the tribe Thuridini.

We studied the fauna of leoidid beetles by sampling with carrion-baited traps, between June 2015 to July 2016, in an Acer (maple) dominated cloud forest at Talpa de Allende, Jalisco, Mexico. We collected 1,423 individuals comprising 12 species in 5 genera with the most diversity occurring in the month of July (rainy season). Dissochaetus costaricensis Salgado-Costas was the species with the highest incidence and abundance throughout the sampling. The species D. cristobalensis Peck and Cook, D. lobatus Peck and Cook, and D. ocozocoautla Peck and Cook are all new records for the state of Jalisco. We collected four additional species in the genus Dissochaetus. We consider the collection of specimens in the fungus feeding Leiodine genera Anisotoma, Colenis and Platyhydnobius incidental occurrences.

Archernis humilis (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) has previously been recorded only from India, and nothing has been reported about its biology or immatures. It was recently discovered during surveys for biological control agents against Paederia foetida L. (Rubiaceae) or skunk vine, and this represents the first report of the food plant. Archernis humilis was not sufficiently host specific to be considered as a biological control agent of P. foetida because it showed strong preference for other Paederia species and oviposited on P. ciliata, a Mexican endemic. With considerable new material available from a laboratory colony, we describe the adult morphology in greater detail, including internal genitalic structures of both sexes for the first time. We also provide an image of the egg and describe the larvae and pupae. We discuss the currently known distribution and expansion to China and Thailand. We designate as a lectotype a specimen from Khasia Hills, India. A phylogenetic analysis shows that Archernis is closely related to Trichaea Herrich-Schäffer and Prophantis Warren (Crambidae).
