The success story of Labiobaetis Novikova & Kluge in the Philippines (Ephemeroptera, Baetidae), with description of 18 new species

“…The distribution of Labiobaetis is nearly worldwide, except for the Neotropical realm, New Zealand and New Caledonia. The status and validity of the genus has often been a subject of controversy for a long time, but nowadays Labiobaetis is widely accepted as a valid genus (Gattolliat 2001;Fujitani et al 2003;Fujitani 2008;McCafferty et al 2010;Gattolliat and Staniczek 2011;Kluge and Novikova 2011, 2014Kluge 2012;Webb 2013;Kubendran et al 2014Kubendran et al , 2015Shi and Tong 2014). The history and concept of the genus Labiobaetis were recently summarized in detail (Shi and Tong 2014;Kaltenbach and Gattolliat 2018).…”

“…Several Philippine-endemic clades indeed have diverse sister groups with widespread intercontinental distributions, as opposed to simply coming from Borneo, Sulawesi or Taiwan as once previously thought. In addition, recent data suggest that even biogeographic regions previously categorized as one single unit (e.g., Greater Luzon) are in fact composed of distinct centres of endemism that correlate with tectonic features (Vallejo 2014), further exemplifying high endemism and niche specialization of species found in the country.…”

Review of the plant bug tribe Eccritotarsini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) of India and Sri Lanka with description of two new genera and six new species

“…Poorly documented diversity of eccritotarsines coupled with their rarity in collections hinders the advancement of further studies. Seven genera and 40 species of this tribe have been described as new to science within the last decade (Hernández & Henry 2010;Cassis et al 2016;Henry & Howard 2016;Konstantinov & Zinovjeva 2016;Yasunaga & Ishikawa 2016;Chérot et al 2017;Menard & Schwartz 2018;Henry & Menard 2020). Of these, 20 species were described from the New World, 17 from the Oriental Region and three from Australia, which further demonstrate the taxonomic impediment globally and especially in the Oriental countries.…”

The easternmost record of Macratriinae LeConte, 1862 (Coleoptera: Anthicidae), with a new species from Fiji and a genus-rank synonymy in Macratriini LeConte, 1862

“…The Macratriinae LeConte, 1862 is cosmopolitan subfamily of Anthicidae Latreille, 1819 (Werner & Chandler 1995;Chandler 2002;2010;Telnov 2011). Macratriinae is currently represented by two tribes, the monotypic fossil Camelomorphini Kirejtshuk, Azar et Telnov, 2008in Kirejtshuk & Azar, 2008 (for the monotypic genus Camelomorpha Kirejtshuk, Azar et Telnov, 2008in Kirejtshuk & Azar, 2008 from Lebanese amber), and Macratriini LeConte, 1862 (for the extant cosmopolitan Macratria Newman, 1838, the Central American Salimuzzamania Abdullah, 1968 and the Southern U.S. Thambospasta Werner, 1974, of which two latter synonymized in the present paper) (Chandler 2010 in part;Telnov 2012a).…”
