Two Palaearctic genera of the tribe Omaliini McLeay, 1825 are revised, redefined, and discussed: Acrulia Thomson, 1858, containing A. inflata (Gyllenhal, 1813), A. assingi Zanetti Shavrin, sp.n. (Greece: Thessalia, Pelopónnisos), and A. akbesiana (Pic, 1898), revalidated from the synonymy with Dialycera aspera (Eppelsheim, 1889), and the genus Dialycera Ganglbauer, 1895, containing D. distincticornis (Baudi di Selve, 1870), D. aspera and D. minuta Luze, 1906. Taxonomic and faunistic notes for three species of the genus Acruliopsis Zerche, 2003 (A. denticollis (Sharp, 1889), A. tumidula (Mäklin, 1853) and A. ussuriensis Zerche, 2003) and four Palaearctic species of the genus Hapalaraea Thomson, 1858 (H. alutacea (Reitter, 1909), H. armeniaca (Székessy, 1939) comb.n. (from Acrulia), H. pygmaea (Paykull, 1800), and H. settei Zanetti, 1983) are provided. Hapalaraea alutacea and H. armeniaca are redescribed. Pseudodialycera Zanetti Shavrin, gen.n., with the type species P. striatripennis (Aubé, 1850) comb.n. (from Dialycera) from the Caucasus, is described. A neotype for Acrulia akbesiana, and lectotypes for Omalium asperum Eppelsheim, 1889, O. inflatum Gyllenhal, 1813, and Phyllodrepa (Hapalaraea) alutacea Reitter, 1909 are designated. The following two synonymies are established: Acrulia akbesiana = Dialycera bimaculata Luze, 1906 syn.n., Hapalaraea pygmaea = Acrulia angusticollis Reitter, 1909 syn.n. The main morphological structures, including the genitalia and terminalia, are figured. Zoogeographic data are provided and mapped (except for Hapalaraea). Keys to the species of Acrulia and Dialycera, and a key to studied genera of Omaliini are provided. Several new records are reported: Acrulia inflata from Estonia, Greece, and Kazakhstan, Dialycera distincticornis from Montenegro and Greece, D. aspera from Greece and Jordan, and D. minuta from Armenia, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

Background: Ulleungdo and Dokdo, located in the East Sea, are volcanic islands with high ecological value due to their unique biodiversity. Although research on the insect fauna on these two Islands has been conducted from the early 19 century to recent times, limitations exist due to several issues, including misidentifications and historical errors. This study addresses these issues by conducting a comprehensive insect survey from 2020 to 2023, re-identifying misidentified specimens and compiling references to create an updated and accurate checklist of insect species for Ulleungdo and Dokdo.

In this work we report for the first time the presence of 59 species of Cerambycidae (4 species of Prioninae, 25 species of Cerambycinae, and 30 species of Lamiinae) in Mato Grosso do Sul. One of these species, Ozodes infuscatus Bates, 1870, is also recorded from the Brazilian states of São Paulo. Nealcidion bruchi (Melzer, 1934) and Glypthaga arena Galileo, Martins & Santos-Silva, 2015 are recorded from Brazil for the first time.

Necrophagous insects, including flies and beetles, play pivotal roles in decomposition, ecology, and forensics. Their diversity and activities vary across environments, necessitating comprehensive studies for understanding and management. The aim of the study is to investigate insect infestation on animal carcasses, human cadavers, and myiasis patients to enhance ecological, forensic, and medical entomological understanding, aiding in ecosystem management, forensic investigations, and disease control.

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the genus Förster combining DNA barcoding and current morphology. Nineteen species of were found throughout Germany, including the newly described species First species records for Germany are: Macek, 1997; Macek, 1997; (Kieffer, 1908); Macek, 1997; Macek, 1997 and Nixon, 1957. We also clarify diagnoses for the two related genera, Förster and to designate the boundaries of the genus and propose new synonymies: Buhl, 1997 is a junior synonym of (Zetterstedt, 1840); Kozlov, 1978 is a junior synonym of (Curtis, 1831).
