The subgenus Hemiglaphyrus Champenois, 1903 of Glaphyrus Latreille, 1807 is revised. It currently includes four species: G. (H.) caucasicus Kraatz, 1882 (type species), G. (H.) armeniacus Ghrejyan, Kalashian & Sabatinelli, new species from Armenia, G. (H.) urartu Sabatinelli, Ghrejyan & Kalashian, new species from East Turkey and Iran and G. (H.) schweigeri Ghrejyan, Kalashian & Sabatinelli, new species from Iran and Iraq, here described and illustrated. A key to Hemiglaphyrus species is provided. Atticoglaphyrus Ghrejyan, Kalashian & Sabatinelli, new subgenus is established for G. modestus Kiesenwetter, 1858 originally included in Hemiglaphyrus. Lectotypes of Glaphyrus caucasicus Kraatz, 1882 and Glaphyrus modestus Kiesenwetter, 1858 are designated.

The hyperdiverse wood-inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech () and Oriental beech (). To study the impact of abiotic drivers, deadwood factors, forest management and biogeographical patterns in forests of both beech species on fungal composition and diversity, we collected 215 deadwood-drilling samples in 18 forests from France to Armenia and identified fungi by meta-barcoding. In our analyses, we distinguished the patterns driven by rare, common, and dominant species using Hill numbers.

Protaetia (Potosia) jelineki (Petrovitz, 1981) is a little-known flower beetle from north-eastern Turkey whose taxonomy and nomenclature have been recently treated by different authors, coming to opposite conclusions. Following the opportunity to observe and sample a dense population from the outskirts of Erzurum, we add different contributions to the knowledge of this taxon. Larva and pupa are described and illustrated.

The melolonthine species Cyphonoxia maljuzhenkoi Zaitzev, 1928 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Melolonthini) was described from three specimens collected by Dmitriy M. Maljuzhenko, a physician by profession, while he was working in the former Erivan Governorate from 1906 to at least 1914 (Anonymous 1914). Type series was cited by Zaitzev (1928) differently in the Russian and in German versions of the primary description.
