Background: The family Nemouridae, belonging to Plecoptera, comprises 21 genera and over 700 species found globally, with the greatest diversity observed in temperate regions. Latreille, 1796 and Ris, 1902 are two largest genera of the family with the highest diversity in China.
New Information: Two new species of Latreille, 1796 of the family Nemouridae, Zhu, Rehman & Du sp. nov. and Zhu, Du & Rehman sp. nov., are described and illustrated from the Nanling Mountains Region in Guangdong Province, southern China. The morphological characteristics of the new species are compared with related taxa. Additionally, the status of Li & Yang, 2008, originally from Maoershan National Natural Reserve in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was addressed and moved to the genus Ris, 1902 on the basis of newly-caught topotypes.

Article Synopsis
- The study revises the taxonomy of Neotropical Odontomachus ant species, identifying four new species and synonymizing one, resulting in a total of 27 recognized species in the region.
- It includes detailed descriptions of worker ants, gynes (queens), and males, along with high-quality images and dichotomous keys to aid identification.
- The findings also highlight morphological variabilities that suggest the presence of cryptic species and emphasize the need for further research on male genitalia to understand species relationships better.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the classification of fifty Stenichnini species found in Madagascar, Comoros, and Mascarenes, primarily categorized under the genus Horaeomorphus.
- It notes that various species have been synonymized, with several being placed as junior synonyms under existing species, indicating changes in their taxonomic status.
- Specific changes are detailed, including the reclassification of certain species into the genus Anhoraeomorphus, reflecting updates in their scientific identification.
