The Walker, 1854 fauna north of Mexico is revised. Six species are documented, one new species Matson & Wagner, is described, and two new synonymies are proposed: (Zeller, 1872), and (Meyrick, 1913), One new subspecies Matson & Wagner, is also described. Adult and larval stages, male and female genitalia, are illustrated, a preliminary phylogeny is presented based on nuclear and mitochondrial data, distribution records provided for verified specimens, and the biology and life history for each species is briefly characterized. Phylogenetic analyses, larval phenotypes, and life history information reveal that much of the historic taxonomic confusion rampant across this group in North America traces to the phenotypic variation in just one species, (Walker, 1854).

Article Synopsis
- - The genus Thysanoplisna, a group of Asiatic footman moths, is updated by describing seven new species discovered across Vietnam and China.
- - These new species include Th. grandimacula, Th. minuta, Th. monotona, and Th. suffusa from Northern Vietnam; Th. bachma from Central Vietnam; Th. tenebrosa from Southwestern China; and Th. hoenei from East China.
- - Additionally, one species previously considered a synonym, Th. directa, has been reclassified and a lectotype has been designated for it, with illustrations provided for adult moths and their genital structures.

Human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have proven invaluable for cardiac disease modeling and regeneration. Challenges with quality, inter-batch consistency, cryopreservation and scale remain, reducing experimental reproducibility and clinical translation. Here, we report a robust stirred suspension cardiac differentiation protocol, and we perform extensive morphological and functional characterization of the resulting bioreactor-differentiated iPSC-CMs (bCMs).

An ingroup including all species of Tibicinoides and the majority (84.7%) of Okanagana species were sampled for six gene regions, polarized with Clidophleps, Okanagodes, Subpsaltria, and Tibicina outgroups, and subjected to Bayesian phylogenetic analysis.
