Kejval Z. 2005. The Australian species of Anthelephila (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) Entomol. Probl. 35(2): 89-107.

The Australian Anthelephila Hope, 1833 are reviewed, with six species recognized. Five species are redescribed: Anthelephila bataviensis (Pic, 1902), A. biroi (Pic, 1902), A. consul ( LaFerté-Sénectere, 1849), A. denisonii (King, 1869) and A. theresae (Pic, 1896). Anthelephila obtusidens (Lea, 1922) is downgraded to A. biroi ssp. obtusidens (Lea, 1922). Nine new synonyms are proposed: Anthelephila bataviensis (Pic, 1902) ( = Formicomus fouqueti Pic , 1906, F. acutidens Lea, 1922 syn.nov.), A. biroi (Pic, 1902) (= F. longidentatus Uhmann , 1995 syn.nov.), A. biroi ssp. obtusidens Lea, 1922 (= F. forticornis Krekich-Strassoldo, 1931 syn.nov.), A. consul (LaFerté-Sénectere, 1849) (= F. birmanicus Pic, 1906, F. agilis King, 1869 syn.nov.), Anthelephila denisonii (King, 1869) (= F. alatus Lea, 1922, F. rufithorax Pic, 1895, F. niger Pic, 1896 syn.nov.).

Amauronix lencinai sp nov. and Amauronyx andujari sp. nov. are described from the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. A. lencinai probably is related to A. barthei Jeannel and A. kraatzii (Saulcy) while A. andujari seems to be close to A. mussardi Besuchet.

The web spinning sawfly Cephalcia masuttii Battisti & Boato, 1998 was recorded in Šumava Mts. (west of the Czech Republic) and in Beskid Mts. and Izerskie Góry Mts. (southern Poland). C. masuttii is probably widespread throughout the whole area of Norway spruce forests in central Europe, although the abundance could be low.

An excellently preserved hindwing of a cockroach family Blattulidae from the Albian or Cenomanian of Verkhne-Bureinskaya Depression is described as Kridla stastia gen. et sp.nov. The fossil was a good flier retaining some plesiomorphic characters indicating an early, most probably the Upper Jurassic origin of the genus, from taxa close to Blattula

Habitus and detail drawings of characteristic structures of genitalia and pregenital segments of males are given.

Gumovsky, A.V. & Perkovsky, E.E. 2005. Taxonomic notes on Tetracampidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) with description of a new fossil species of Dipricocampe from Rovno amber. Entomol. Probl. 35(2): 123-130.

A new fossil species of the genus Dipriocampe is described from Late Eocene Rovno amber. The new species differs from D. diprioni in having distinctly petiolate transverse funicular segments and traceable median carina on the propodeum. It is also emphasized that the family Tetracampidae, in its current concept, is likely polyphyletic and rather arteficially composed group. Placement of many groups currently assigned to Tetracampidae, was likely motivated by the conventional concept of this family as intermediate between Pteromalidae and Eulophidae, and thus serving as a "dumping ground" for the species with problematic status. It is recorded, that one of the key characters defining Tetracampidae is the single short and nearly straight protibial spur (calcar). This character is peculiar to Tetracampe (the type genus) and allied genera (the subfamily Tetracampinae). However, the short straight calcar may support relationships in a large clade, i.e. Tetracampinae + Eulophidae + Trichogrammatidae. Platynocheilinae and Tetracampinae also share this type of calcar, however, this association may appear rather gradual branching than a monophyletic unit. Species of Mongolocampinae (including the fossil species Electrocampe sugonjaevi from Late Eocene Baltic amber) do not demonstrate any similarities with Tetracampe and other tetracampids, apart from some homoplastic characters (e.g. the expanded marginal vein of males); also they have two protibial spurs what is unique in Chalcidoidea. The fossil representatives from Cretaceous Canadian amber (species of Bouceklytinae, Baeomorphinae and Distylopinae) assigned to Tetracampidae by Yoshimoto (1975) hardly belong to this family, because their type species are charcterized by the possession of the long and curved calcar. Discussions on all group currently classified in Tetracampidae are provided. It is concluded, that care must be paid to any generalizations about this family as a whole, and to its paleontological history, in particular. So that, the newly described Dipriocampe bouceki may be figured out as the only "true" fossil species of Tetracampidae, although many other species from fossil resins have been previously assigned to this family.

Hernando, C. & Ribera, I. 2005. Pseudothryptus, a new genus of Limnichidae (Coleoptera) for Caccothryptus multiseriatus. Entomol. Probl. 35(2): 131-135.

Pseudothryptus gen.nov. is described for the species Caccothryptus multiseriatus Champion, from India. The new monotypic genus belongs to a clade of Limnichidae formed by the genera Caccothryptus Sharp, Euthryptus Sharp, Resachus Deléve, Simplocarina Pic and Mandersia Sharp, mainly characterized by a non-articulated aedeagus with fused parameres. Within this group relationships are still unresolved, but Pseudotrhyptus new genus can be separated from Caccothryptus by its very convex shape, head with very deep supra-ocular sulcus and anterior margin of pronotum excavated for reception of antennae; presence of regular series of elytral punctures; short pubescence; carinated hypomera; last abdominal sternite emarginated; aedeagus with lateral parameres; symmetrical base of the aedeagus, with dorsal ductus. It can be separated from Mandersia and Euthryptus (to which seems to be closely related) by the strong regular rows of punctures covering all elytra, which have a double pubescence; presence of a longitudinal apical sulcus in the median lobe; symmetrical phallobase and the shape of the genital segment.
