Taxonomic notes on some species of crab spiders of the genus Borboropactus Simon, 1884 are provided. Two new species, Borboropactus palaniensis sp. nov. (♀; India) and B. gialong sp. nov. (♀; Vietnam) are described. Borboropactus bituberculatus Simon, 1884 and B. semenchenkoi Omelko & Marusik, 2022 are regarded as junior subjective synonyms of B. cinerascens (Doleschall, 1859). Borboropactus bangkongeus Barrion & Litsinger, 1995 is removed from the synonymy of B. cinerascens, and its female is described for the first time.

This is the first in a planned series of revisions of the superfamily Plateremaeoidea. A new species of Plateremaeidae, Plateremaeus cebilae sp. nov., is described from Argentina based on adults and immatures. This species is easily distinguishable from other congeners by: cerotegument covering body and legs; polyhedral structures of filaments on prodorsum, notogaster, epimeres, and ventral region; interlamellar setae covered by rose-flower-shaped cerotegument; sensillus uncinate; five pairs of notogastral setae situated posteriorly; pedotectal tooth well visible; epimeral neotrichy 8[7-9]-5[4-6]-6[5-6]-8[7-9]; genital plate ovoid, with nine pairs of small barbate setae in two rows; anal plate elongated-ovoid, with five pairs of setae; genito-anal bridge moderately developed. The ontogeny of this species is described. Gaboneremaeidae fam. nov. and Gaboneremaeus gen. nov. are established, with G. patriciae sp. nov. from Gabon as its type species. Gaboneremaeus patriciae sp. nov. is distinguished by: cerotegument of two types, covering body and legs; prodorsum with cuticular folds; bothridial ring sigmoid, complex; notogaster rounded, pleurophragma present; three pairs of posterior setae; posterior medial zone with small rounded pit; epimeral zone well delimited, with epimeric furrows, apodemes and cuticular thickening; parastigmatic enantiophysis and discidium present; epimeral hypertrichy 9[8-10]-6-9[8-10]-9[8-11]; nine pairs of barbate genital setae in two rows; anal plate with ten pairs of setae inserted in paraxial groove of each valve.

A new species of Chaco Tullgren, 1905 was discovered and is formally described. Chaco aoni sp. nov. from the Santa Cruz River in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, is the southernmost recorded species of this genus. The new species is diagnosed on the basis of the morphology of the palpal organ and tibial apophysis of males and the shape of the spermathecae of females. A cladistic analysis was carried out based on an already published morphological matrix, which now also includes the new species. This new species is part of a monophyletic group including also Chaco tingua Indicatti, Folly-Ramos, Vargas, Lucas & Brescovit, 2015, C. tecka Goloboff, 1995, C. sanjuanina Goloboff, 1995, C. patagonica Goloboff, 1995 and C. ansilta Ferretti, 2014.

Five Titanidiops species are described: T. birmanicus Schwendinger & Huber, sp. nov. (♂♀) and T. tenuis Schwendinger, sp. nov. (♂♀) from Myanmar, T. sayamensis Schwendinger & Hongpadharakiree, sp. nov. (♂♀) from Thailand and Myanmar, T. inermis Schwendinger, sp. nov. (♂♀) from Thailand, T. insularis Schwendinger, sp. nov. (♂♀) from Thailand and Indonesia. A key to the seven Titanidiops species known from South-east Asia is provided. Titanidiops inermis sp. nov. stands out among its congeners: the males lack a mating clasper, and the females have tiny spicules on coxae I-II and an enlarged heel on the retrolateral-distal corner of coxa IV. A close relationship between T. inermis sp. nov. and T. pylorus comb. nov. is inferred. Ten species are transferred to Titanidiops: Idiops bombayensis Siliwal, Molur & Biswas, 2005, I. bonny Siliwal, Hippargi, Yadav & Kumar, 2020, I. crassus Simon, 1884, I. joida Gupta, Das & Siliwal in Gupta et al., 2013, I. medini Pratihar & Das in Pratihar et al., 2020, I. nilagiri Das & Diksha in Das et al., 2019, I. oriya Siliwal in Gupta et al., 2013, I. pylorus Schwendinger, 1991, I. robustus (Pocock, 1898), I. vankhede Siliwal, Hippargi, Yadav & Kumar, 2020. All other Asian species currently under Idiops Perty, 1833 presumably also belong to Titanidiops Simon, 1903. New localities of T. pylorus comb. nov. in Thailand are reported, and the widely disjunct populations of T. insularis sp. nov. are discussed. For most species treated here information on biology and on morphological variation is provided.

The Crambinae (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae s. l.) of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador are revised. Whereas only Argyria lacteella (Fabricius, 1794), Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius, 1794), and Euchromius galapagosalis Capps, 1966 had previously been recorded from the archipelago, seven species are described as new: Mesolia christinae sp. nov., La florenciae sp. nov., La grisea sp. nov., La galapagensis sp. nov., La paquitae sp. nov, La wagneuri sp. nov., and Parapediasia galapagensis sp. nov., thus bringing the total number of Crambinae species recorded from the Galapagós Islands to ten. Euchromius galapagosalis and the seven new species are presumed endemic to the Galápagos. The habitus and genitalia of all ten species are illustrated.

The Genevan entomologist Frédéric Chevrier (1801-1882) was interested in natural history from an early age and amassed an important collection of Coleoptera which he was forced to sell in 1849 because of financial difficulties. After this he led a quiet life near Nyon in the canton of Vaud (Switzerland), where he began collecting Hymenoptera and published seven articles between 1862 and 1872, describing 35 species as new to science. His collection came to the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève with that of Henri Tournier (1834-1904) in 1904. We present a list of the type specimens of Chevrier's species deposited in the Muséum, along with the current nomenclatural combination and some biographical information.

This publication deals with Coleophoridae specimens collected in 2019 and 2022 in Armenia by O. Karsholt, H. Roweck and N. Savenkov. Seventy-two species are identified and listed of which 43 are new to Armenia and one, C. zofodella Baldizzone, 2001, is also new to Europe. Ten new species are described: Coleophora savenkovi Baldizzone, sp. nov., C. paracoriacea Baldizzone, sp. nov., C. rowecki Baldizzone & Richter, sp. nov., C. sanctuariella Baldizzone, sp. nov., C. lepida Baldizzone, sp. nov., C. iucunda Baldizzone, sp. nov., C. hispida Baldizzone, sp. nov, C. anomala, sp. nov., C. gorovanensis Baldizzone, sp. nov, C. finitima Baldizzone, sp. nov. The female genitalia of C. adlecta Baldizzone, 1994, C. makuensis Baldizzone, 1994, C. mucronata Baldizzone, 1994, and C. zofodella Baldizzone, 2001, are illustrated for the first time.

This study investigates the distribution and geographic variation of East Arabian taxa of the Platyceps rhodorachis complex. Platyceps hajarensis sp. nov. from the Eastern Oman Mountains and their periphery deviates in morphological characters from P. r. rhodorachis (Jan, 1863) distributed beyond the Gulf (Iran) and P. gallagheri sp. nov. of the Ras Musandam area. Cliff racers from Masirah Island and central Al-Wusta (P. masirae sp. nov.) considerably differ vis-à-vis polymorphic P. hajarensis and Dhofar populations with as yet unresolved taxonomic status. Morphologically, the latter are most similar to East Yemen cliff racers. The distribution of the new Omani taxa is compared to geographic patterns observed among the regional terrestrial herpetofauna. Ranges of certain southern Arabian reptiles and the systematics of P. variabilis (Boulenger, 1905) are briefly reviewed.

In the framework of a taxonomic revision of the Gelechiidae of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, an annotated checklist of 66 species is presented. Beside 24 new species records for this country, two new species are described: Athrips pallidifusca sp. nov. and Schizovalva nigromaculata sp. nov. Additionally, two new synonyms are proposed: Anarsia manjakatompo Viette, 1957 syn. nov. of A. gambiensis Strand, 1913, stat. nov.; Metzneria portieri Viette, 1948 syn. nov. of Metzneria sanguinea Meyrick, 1934. Three new combinations are suggested: Anarsia syndelta (Meyrick, 1921) comb. nov., from Telphusa; Mometa cunctatrix (Meyrick, 1931) comb. nov. and Mometa erebodoxa (Meyrick, 1927) comb. nov. from Platyedra. The male and female genitalia of Dactylethrella bryophilella (Walsingham, 1891), Anarsia gambiensis Strand, 1913, Mometa chlidanopa Meyrick, 1927 and Semophylax apicepuncta (Busck, 1911), as well as the male genitalia of Anarsia syndelta, Dichomeris eurynotus (Walsingham, 1897), Metzneria sanguinea Meyrick, 1934 and the female genitalia of Aspades armatovalva (Janse, 1963) are described and illustrated for the first time. Taxonomic notes, larval host plants and updated distribution data are given for several species. Anarsia gambiensis is recorded for the first time from Ethiopia, Tanzania and Malawi; Anarsia gravata Meyrick, 1911 from Tanzania and Malawi; Dichomeris eurynotus from Uganda; Aspades armatovalva (Janse, 1963) from Tanzania; Metzneria sanguinea from Uganda, Kenya and Yemen; Ephysteris leptocentra (Meyrick, 1912) from the Afrotropical region.
