A catalogue of type specimens of species and subspecies of caraboid beetles, tiger-beetles here treated as family Cicindelidae, and ground-beetles (Carabidae) of suborder Adephaga deposited in the I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology NAS of Ukraine is provided. For all type-specimens original photos of each specimen (with label) and label data are given in the original spelling (translated to English if the original label was in Cyrillic alphabet). In some cases data concerning the current status of taxons are discussed. Nominal taxa names are alphabethically listed within each family. Altogether, 372 type specimens of 133 taxa names (species and subspecies) are included in the catalogue: 15 holotypes, 344 paratypes (120 species and subspecies) and 13 specimens (9 taxa) with other type status.

A new species can form through hybridization between species. Hybrid speciation in animals has been intensely debated, partly because hard evidence for the process has been difficult to obtain. Here we report the discovery of a European hybrid butterfly lineage, a finding that can be considered surprising given the intense and long-term study of European butterflies.

Its medical importance has made it a subject of numerous efforts to understand their biology. One such effort, was the development of a high-quality reference genome (AaegL5).

Genomic analysis of [Fabricius], 1807 (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae Grote, 1895) reveals species richness higher than anticipated. As a result, one subgenus, 22 species, and one subspecies are proposed as new (type species or type localities in parenthesis): Grishin, ( Prittwitz, 1865), () Grishin, (Peru: Rio Pachitea, Monte Alegre), () Grishin, (Guyana: Cuyuni-Mazaruni), () Grishin, (Brazil: Santa Catarina), () Grishin, (Panama: Darién), () Grishin, (Ecuador: Santo Domingo), () Grishin, (Peru: Cuzco), () Grishin, (Panama: Chiriquí), () Grishin, (Mexico: Tamaulipas), () Grishin, (Mexico: Nuevo León), () Grishin, (Argentina: Salta), () Grishin, (Peru: Piura), () Grishin, (Bolivia: La Paz), () Grishin, (Mexico: Sonora), () Grishin, (Peru: Madre de Dios), () Grishin, (Bolivia: La Paz), () Grishin, (Mexico: Chiapas), () Grishin, (Panama: Darién), () Grishin, (Panama: Darién), () Grishin, (Panama: Darién), () Grishin, (Panama: Panamá), () Grishin, (Peru: Cuzco), () Grishin, (Brazil: São Paulo), and () Grishin, (Brazil: Paraná).

The members of the genus Mill. are notable for producing a diverse range of structurally intricate secondary metabolites, being the focus of current phytochemical research. Their importance is recognized as several species hold significant ethnopharmacological value, being traditionally used to address ailments in human systems, such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary conditions, among others.
