Previously, no records of Loew, 1857 species were known from Inner Mongolia (China). The genus is reported here from Inner Mongolia for the first time, with the description of a new species, , along with two previously described species, Hollis, 1964 and Yang & Saigusa, 2000. and Hollis, 1964 are barcoded for the first time to support the species delimitation.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as significant players in almost every level of gene function and regulation. Thus, characterizing the structures and interactions of lncRNAs is essential for understanding their mechanistic roles in cells. Through a combination of (bio)chemical approaches and automated capillary and high-throughput sequencing (HTS), the complexity and diversity of RNA structures and interactions has been revealed in the transcriptomes of multiple species.
