Asaphocrita rescissella Adamski new species (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea: Blastobasidae) is described herein based on two specimens from Bogotá, Colombia bearing hand-written labels by Zeller with this specific epithet. Blastobasis ergastulella Zeller, 1877 also from Bogotá, Colombia is redescribed and temporarily placed in Blastobasis Zeller, 1855. Images of the upper surface of the imagos and illustrations of male and female genitalia are provided.

Anaulosia Schaus (=Speosia Schaus, new synonym), is represented by three species: Anaulosia distincta (Schaus), new combination (=Anaulosia impolita Schaus, new synonym, Speosia bullata Schaus, new synonym); Anaulosia infuscata (Draudt), new combination; and Anaulosia negrita Becker, new species.

Amorbiodes Becker new genus includes a single species: Amorbiodes dichromaticus Becker new species, from Brazil. The genitalia are similar to those of Inga Busck species, however the long pectinate male antenna, the shape of labial palpi, and the narrow male forewings with protruded apex exclude it from this genus and are unique among the Neotropical Oecophoridae.

The genus Callusa Becker, 2014, from the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil, is reviewed, with diagnosis and illustrations of all species, including the description of Callusa moseri new species.

Cephalospargeta Möschler, 1890 includes three species: Ceephalo-spargeta elongata Möschler, 1890, from the Antilles, southern USA, Mexico, south to Costa Rica; and two new species from Brazil, Cephalospargeta xerophila new species and Cephalospargeta pectinata new species.

Loxotoma Zeller, 1854 is represented by three species, Loxotoma elegans Zeller; Loxotoma seminigrescens Meyrick; and Loxotoma buritiguara Becker new species, from Brazil. Records on host plants, and notes on the immatures and behavior, as well as illustrations of the adults and their genitalia are presented.

Two species of Paraplea are reported from Madagascar. Paraplea simplex new species is described from Fianarantsoa and Ambalamakana Provinces. Paraplea hovana Kirkaldy, 1899 is redescribed and a neotype is designated. Paraplea hovana is known from Antsiranana, Toamasina, and Tulear Provinces.

New collection and rearing records are provided for 17 named species, and over 30 undescribed or not fully identified species of Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) from across the USA. These include gall inducers and other phytophages as well as inquilines, predators, and mycophages. New host and distribution records are presented, and specimens are associated with at least ten galls that have not been documented previously. Rearings of associated parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Platygastroidea) are also reported.

Staphylinidae (including Silphinae) is the largest family in the world with approximately 67,000 species, including one extinct and 34 extant subfamilies. Of the 34 subfamilies within this family, Aleocharinae has the largest number of species. Aleocharinae has over 1000 genera and over 12,000 species and is the subfamily with the most species associated with the mushrooms. This field study collected Aleocharinae species from mushrooms in Belgrad Forest. A total of 11 species belonging to three genera in Aleocharinae were collected and identified. Distribution graphs of the species according to months, regions of Turkey, neighboring countries and zoogeographic regions are provided. The number of individuals and the taxonomic diversity of the collected species were assessed using the Brillouin diversity index by PAST 3.15 program, and UPGMA similarity analyses were conducted to evaluate the collected species in relation to Turkey, neighboring countries, and zoogeographic regions using MVSP 3.22 program. This study, which was planned to start with the Belgrad Forest selected as the pilot region, will be expanded to other regions in the future.

Described in 1893 from Mexico, the beetle-like pseudophyllodromiid cockroach Plectoptera picta Saussure and Zehntner is seldom collected. Its distribution is little known and bionomic information has remained scant. In August and September 2023 and 2024, I collected 62 adults and seven nymphs by beating lichen-covered branches of oaks (Quercus spp.; Fagaceae) at a site in southeastern Georgia. An apparent arboreal habit, while common in the Neotropics, is unusual among cockroach species of the temperate eastern United States, and probably has hindered attempts to collect P. picta. Cockroach enthusiasts are encouraged to search for P. picta by beating macrolichen-coated branches of oaks in southern states from Virginia to east Texas, including the Fall Line sandhills from North Carolina to Alabama, maritime forests of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and other xeric communities in southeastern states west to east Texas. Emphasizing oaks in those areas should enhance the likelihood of collecting enough adults to establish a colony for studying the cockroach's life history.
