2005. Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Pseudamaurops
(Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae), with description of three new species from Albania and northern Greece.
Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 1-4.
Three new species of Pseudamaurops Jeannel (P. brachati sp.nov.,
P. graecus sp.nov. and P. transversalis sp.nov.) from Albania and northern Greece are described and illustrated.
The aedeagus of P. mulleriana (Ravasini) is illustrated for the first time.
A revised key and a map of distribution of all known species of Pseudamaurops is provided.

2005. Faunistic notes on the Hydraenidae, Elmidae, and Dryopidae of the Middle Russian Forest-Steppe Zone (Coleoptera).
Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 5-10.
The Hydraenidae, Elmidae, and Dryopidae of the Middle Russian Forest-Steppe Zone are reviewed faunistically. The ocurrence of
11 species of Hydraenidae, five species of Elmidae, and five species of Dryopidae is confirmed herein. The ocurrence of two
species of Hydraenidae, Limnebius truncatellus (Thunberg, 1794) and
Ochthebius (s.str.) pusillus Stephens, 1835, which were recorded
from the Middle Russian Forest-Steppe Zone by Kharin (1928), could not be
confirmed by the present study.

The sixth new species group Graphelmis marshalli is designated within the genus Graphelmis
Deléve, 1968, comprising six known and ten new species: G. bouchardi
(Grouvelle, 1896), G. consobrina
Deléve, 1968, G. dentipes sp.nov., G. elegans sp.nov.,
G. fuscicornis sp.nov., G. grouvellei Deléve, 1970,
G. schoedli sp.nov., G. malickyi sp.nov., G. marshalli
(Hinton, 1936), G. monticola
(Grouvelle, 1896), G. nitida sp.nov., G. quadrimaculata sp.nov.,
G. robusta sp.nov., G. elisabethjaechae sp.nov, G. valida Deléve,
1970, G. vietnamensis sp.nov. Habitus and detail drawings of characteristic structures of genitalia and pregenital
segments of males are given.

2005. A new genus of Entedoninae from Malaysia, associated with ant nests (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae).
Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 39-42.
A new genus of Entedoninae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea), Myrmobomyia gen.nov; is described from Malaysia.
The new genus is distinguishable by the peculiar habitus (wide head, antennae placed below eye level, robust
mesosoma, but pronotum strongly reduced, complete notauli, petiolate gaster, etc.) combining habitual elements
of Myrmokata, Pediobomyia and Ambocybe. The diagnostic characters of the genus are: the
narrowed lower face, the angulate frontal sulcus, the missing scrobal grooves, the convex clypeal area, the
presence of the tentorial pits, the reduced mandibles, the complete notauli, the sharp occipital margin,
several pairs of setae at scutellum, and the propleurae weakly bending the anterior margin of the lateral
panel of pronotum. The type species M. malayana gen.nov., sp.nov. is associated with nests of
Dolichoderus ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae).

2005. Dendrophilus (s.str.) tubercularis, a new species of the genus
Dendrophilus from the Palearctic region (Coleoptera: Histeridae). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 43-45.
Dendrophilus (s.str.) tubercularis, sp. nov., from Tunisia is described and compared to the similar species
D. (s.str.) xavieri Marseul. A Key to the Palearctic species is given.

2005. Notes on the tiger beetle fauna of Cameroon (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae).
Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 47-50.
Notes on the tiger beetle fauna of Cameroon are given. Forty-six species are presently known from this African country,
whose full updated checklist is given in Table I. A subspecies of Megacephala denticollis
Chaudoir (ssp. semilevis W.
Horn, 1913) is recorded for the first time from this country.
Assing, V.
2005. A revision of Othiini. XIV. New species, new synonyms, and new records (Insecta: Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).
Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 51-67.
An examination of previously unrevised material of Othiini yielded additional records of 34 species. Four species are
(re-)described and illustrated: O. rudis Zheng, O. quadratus
Zheng, O. mirus sp.nov. (China: Emei Shan), and O. furcillatus
sp.nov. (China: N-Yunnan). The male sexual characters of O. tuberipennis
Assing are characterised and figured for the first time. The following synonymies are established:
Othius punctatus Bernhauer, 1922 = O. goui
Zheng, 1995, syn. n.; O. punctulatus
(Goeze, 1777) = O. scoticus
Stephens, 1833, syn. n. The Palaearctic genus Othius
Stephens now includes 115 valid species and subspecies. The distributions
of Othius piceus Scriba, O. laeviusculus
Stephens, O. subuliformis
Stephens, and O. wunderlei Assing are mapped.

2005. A check-list of the Ukrainian Rhinophoridae (Diptera).
Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 69-74.
The faunistic data of the results of collecting of rhinophorids in different regions of Ukraine are presented.
From 14 known species one (Oplisa oldenbergi) firstly recorded for Ukraine, two species -
bfor Zaporizzhya region, a single species - for Cherkasy, Chernivtzy, Chernigiv, Dnipropetrovs'k, Ivano-Frankivs'k,
