Hernando, C. & Ribera, I 2004. Synopsis of the genus Limnichomorphus, with description of two Oriental and Palaeartic species (Coleoptera: Limnichidae). Entomol. Probl. 34(1-2): 37-45.

The genus Limnichomorphus Pic and its two known species (L. curtulus Pic from Vietnam and L. ohbayashii Satô from the Ryukyu archipelago) are re-described, and their male and female genitalia figured for the first time. Lectotype and Paralectotypes are designated for L. curtulus. The genus is placed in a newly characterised "Limnichus group of genera" based on external and genital characters, including (in addition to Limnichus Latreille) the genera Geolimnichus Hernando & Ribera, Limnichoderus Casey and Limnichomorphus Pic. Two new species of Limnichomorphus are described, L. puetzi sp.nov. from Nepal, and L. ciampori sp.nov. from Borneo. The two species are characterised by their external morphology and male genitalia.

Vršanský, P. 2004. Cretaceous Gondwanian Cockroaches (Insecta: Blattaria). Entomol. Probl. 34(1-2): 49-54.

The dominant families in all studied Gondwanian sites are the extant families Mesoblattinidae (= Blattidae) and/or Blattellidae. Adults of a small species of Umenocoleidae with polyphagoid affinities (plesiomorphies) are found in Lebanese amber (together with diverse immatures of a single species of Mesoblattinidae, and Blattulidae). The assemblage of the rich Santana Formation in Brazil is dominated by Blattellidae, with subdominant Blattulidae, and also Umenocoleidae. Impression fossils from Israel are a single adult Mesoblattinidae in the Barremian and two isolated wings, one of Mesoblattinidae and another of Blattellidae, in the Turonian. Polyphagidae are absent from the Cretaceous Gondwana. The radiation of modern Blattaria into Gondwana must have taken place after the Barremian.
Based on roaches, the hypothesis of the relationship of the Israeli fauna to the Laurasian rather to Gondwanian sites (Dobruskina et al. 1997) is questioned, but the fauna of the Lebaneese amber is found related (with a sister species) to the undescribed fauna of the New Jersey amber. New taxa described herein are Gondwablatta abrahami gen. et sp.nov. (Barremian); Nymphoblatta azari gen et sp.nov. (Hauterivian-Aptian); Turoniblatta israelica gen et sp.nov. and Nehevblattella grofitica gen. et sp.nov. (Turonian).

Krno, I. 2004. Nemouridae (Plecoptera) of Slovakia: autecology and distribution, morphology of nymphs. Entomol. Probl. 34(1-2): 125-138.

The present study is aimed at the autecology (life cycle, habitat preference, saprobic score, feeding types) and distribution of Nemouridae from Slovakia. Special attention is paid to the morphology of nymphs and the characters that help species identification. Now, 28 species of Nemouridae are known from Slovakia. The occurrence of Protonemura meyeri, Nemoura mortoni and Nemoura longicauda in Slovakia was not approved. The shape and length of cercal segments, length of bristles of cercal segments (Nemoura, Amphinemura), and the shape and length of bristles of abdominal terga (Protonemura, Nemoura) were the best characters to distinguish the nymphs, including larvae of Nemoura fusca and Protonemura aestiva, which were not known before. In general, Palearctic and European species are steady widespread over the Slovak territory. Carpathian and namely Alpine-C.- European species are limited mostly to higher mountains of the West Carpathians. C.- European species were found to be intermediate in this respect.
