Acropsylla (Leptopsyllidae), a genus of fleas from the Indian Subregion of the Oriental Region, is reviewed to include the seasonal and geographical distribution of the known species. Acropsylla girshami Traub, 1950 is proposed as a junior synonym of Acropsylla episema Rothschild, 1911. Keys are provided for the tribe Meopsyllini and for the species of Acropsylla.

Our expanded efforts in genomic sequencing to cover additional skipper butterfly (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) species and populations, including primary type specimens, call for taxonomic changes to restore monophyly and correct misidentifications by moving taxa between genera and proposing new names. Reconciliation between phenotypic characters and genomic trees suggests three new tribes, two new subtribes, 23 new genera, 17 new subgenera and 10 new species that are proposed here: Psolosini Grishin, (type genus Staudinger, 1889), Ismini Grishin, (type genus Distant, 1886), Eetionini Grishin, (type genus de Nicéville, 1895), Orphina Grishin, (type genus Godman, 1901), Carystoidina Grishin, (type genus Godman, 1901), Grishin, (type species Plötz, 1882), Grishin, (type species Mabille and Boullet, 1912), Grishin, (type species Grishin, ), Grishin, (type species Plötz, 1884), Grishin, (type species Evans, 1937), Grishin, (type species Trimen, 1873), Grishin, (type species Hayward, 1951), Grishin, (type species Mabille, 1889), Grishin, (type species ?

Continuing with comparative genomic exploration of worldwide butterfly fauna, we use all protein-coding genes as they are retrieved from the whole genome shotgun sequences for phylogeny construction. Analysis of these genome-scale phylogenies projected onto the taxonomic classification and the knowledge about butterfly phenotypes suggests further refinements of butterfly taxonomy that are presented here. As a general rule, we assign most prominent clades of similar genetic differentiation to the same taxonomic rank, and use criteria based on relative population diversification and the extent of gene exchange for species delimitation.
