is a moderately diverse genus of 78 species that are widely disjunct in the subtropical and tropical forests of the Neotropical and Oriental regions. Following recent revisions of both the Neotropical and Oriental species, this study provides new distributional data, a revised species concept for (Wendeler) , and the description of and , bringing the total number of species to 80. Several keys are updated to reflect the newly available data and new species.

Twenty-three species of the genera Aspistomella Hendel, 1909, Polyteloptera Hendel, 1909, and Ulivellia Speiser, 1929 occurring in South America (Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil) form a monophyletic lineage sharing certain combinations of plesiomorphies and apomorphies with similar larval biology. The name Aspistomella Hendel, 1909 is a new senior subjective synonym of Paraphyola Hendel, 1909. The group of genera is extended by the addition of six known species, Aspistomella angustifrons (Hendel, 1909) comb.

The genus Hirschmann, 1989 (Mesostigmata: Uropodina: Urodinychidae) is resurrected for species of the -group. This genus differs from the other taxa of Berlese, 1903 sensu lato based on the shape of the idiosoma and the caudal and dorsal setae. Three species from the -group are transferred to the genus , as (Hirschmann, 1973), , (Hiramatsu, 1980), and (Hiramatsu, 1980), The other seven species from this species group are transferred to , as (Vitzthum, 1926), , (Hiramatsu, 1985), , (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), , (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), , (Hiramatsu, 1980), , (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), and (Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978), The new genus differs from by the shape of the idiosoma and the shape of marginal and dorsal setae.

Ichneumonidae, or Chilean Darwin wasps, are an important component of South American hymenopteran diversity, but the taxonomic and distributional knowledge on this insect is still deficient. Taking advantage of recently updated taxonomic knowledge, we assessed biogeographic relationships at the genus level and biodiversity spatial patterns along the latitudinal gradient. The results show the presence of 264 species in Chile, arranged in 102 genera and 22 subfamilies.

Mosquitoes (Culicidae) represent the main vector insects globally, and they also inhabit many of the terrestrial and aquatic habitats of the world. DNA barcoding and metabarcoding are now widely used in both research and routine practices involving mosquitoes. However, these methodologies rely on information available in databases consisting of barcode sequences representing taxonomically identified voucher specimens.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to describe a new and unusual species of Neoechinoprhynchus Stiles & Hassall, 1905 from the Arabian Gulf coast off Iraq.
Methods: Routine methods for examination of fish hosts and recovery of acanthocephalean parasites were followed. Parasites were cleaned, relaxed overnight in refrigerated water then fixed in cold 70% ethanol.
