The present study describes the allotype of Conocephalus (Anisoptera) hilli Farooqi & Usmani, 2019, for the first time from India. The species C. (Anisoptera) hilli was collected along with C. maculatus and C. longipennis in the rice fields from Uttar Pradesh states of India. A brief diagnosis of the genus, subgenus and species and key to species is provided. Digital images and distribution map of the species are also provided. All specimens are deposited in the Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh for posterity.

The first Panorpa was recently discovered in Thailand even though the genus had not been thought to occur south of the Himalaya. We now add a second new species, Panorpa apscisacera n. sp., also from Northern Thailand, which has nearly immaculate pale-yellow wings with only a pronounced stigma. The male has a blunt, vestigial bifid anal horn, and thin, bare ventral parameres. Additionally, we describe Neopanorpa appendicema n. sp. with mesad-curled male hypovalve apices and large, basomesal lobes, a relatively large species, N. inchoata n. sp., with overlapping elliptical hypovalves and incomplete apical bands, N. setosiloba n. sp. with huge bristly lobes on the mesal margin of the male gonostyles, and N. mandangensis n. sp. with a narrow 3^rd tergum process extending to the posterior margin of the 4^th tergum. Neopanorpa nielseni Byers, 1965, previously known from northern Vietnam and southern China, has recently been discovered in northern Thailand. Bittacus leptocaudus Byers, 1965, known from a lone male has been rediscovered and locality details and photo of the habitat provided. These bring the number of species of Mecoptera occurring in Thailand to 22 (19 Neopanorpa, two Panorpa, and one Bittacus) and the number of Mecoptera species known from Indochina to 56 (48 Neopanorpa, three Panorpa, 4 Bittacus, and one Bicaubittacus). A key to the species of Mecoptera in Thailand with illustrations is provided. DNA was extracted from specimens and the DNA Barcode, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene fragment sequenced and analyzed for 19 of the 22 species of Thai Mecoptera. The results are figured as a Neighbor-Joining tree.

The predatory clerid beetle Thanasimus lewisi (Jacobson) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) is an important predator of bark beetles (Scolytidae) and has been used in China for the biological control of the larch bark beetle Ips subelongatus Motschulsky and the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus Linnaeus. In this study, the number, external morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla of T. lewisi were determined using scanning electron microscopy. The filiform antennae of both sexes of both species consist of the scape, pedicel, and nine flagellomeres. Two types of sensilla chaetica (SC1 and SC2), four types of sensilla basiconica (SB1, SB2, SB3 and SB4), two types of sensilla trichodea (ST1 and ST2), and Böhm's bristles (BB) were identified according to the morphology and fine structure of each type of sensilla in both sexes. No difference in shape, structure, sensilla distribution and typology was observed between the sexes. The density of sensilla was greater on the last 3 than on the first 8 segments. SC1, SC2, ST1 and ST2 occurred on all antennal segments in both sexes. SB1, SB2 and SB3 were absent on the first 4 segments of the antennae in both sexes. SB4 were found only on the last 2 segments of the antennae. BB only occurred on the scape and pedicel. The distal antennal sensilla of T. lewisi had notably more sensilla than proximal ones in type and number, indicating this is the main area to detect environmental stimuli for feeding or oviposition. These structures likely have roles in the host locating and habitat searching behavior of adult T. lewisi and suggest future studies on the olfaction and host location behavior of T. lewisi and other coleopteran predators.

Strumigenys eggersi is a Neotropical ant species with a wide distribution in South America, Central America, and the West Indies, though it is unclear how much of this constitutes its original native range. The only published records of S. eggersi from the continental US come from Florida, where it was first found in 1953 just south of Miami Beach. Over the past few decades, populations of S. eggersi in Florida have expanded greatly. In our collections in 2018–2022, we found S. eggersi is now one of the most common leaf-litter ants throughout most of Florida, with populations now extending north into Georgia and South Carolina, and west into southern Alabama. It seems likely that this species will continue to spread westward along the Gulf of Mexico and will soon be found in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Given its commonness in areas where it has invaded, S. eggersi may be having a negative impact on native species.

This list is based on material collected and identified by foreign scientists between 1931 and 1976 and housed in the Nazife Tuatay Plant Protection Museum at the Directorate of Plant Protection Central Research Institute in the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The Museum contains 111 species and subspecies belonging to 73 genera belonging to 10 families. Current names for many species are described by foreign scientists based on his collection provided and corrected.

In addition, distribution of the species and subspecies of the genus Laothoe Fabricius, 1807 are also given along with the study area map.

We report necrophagous Diptera and Coleoptera infesting five stray animal carcasses (a water buffalo calf, a dog, a rat, a snake, and a horse) in the Aligarh region of Uttar Pradesh, India. This study provides basic information regarding dipteran and coleopteran fauna associated with different decay stages of animal carcasses in India.

Isophya nervosa (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) is especially localized in Ankara, Çankırı, Eskişehir, Turkey. Although there are many systematic and taxonomic studies on I. nervosa, there is no study on the morphology and ultrastructure of the digestive. For this purpose, the hindgut of Isophya nervosa (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) was investigated by using light and electron microscopes in detail. The outer surface of the hindgut is covered with connective tissue and muscle layer containing abundant trachea. The lumen of all parts of hindgut (ileum, colon, rectum) is surrounded by a cuticular intima that lines single layer cuboidal epithelium throughout the entire length of the hindgut. The monolayer cuboidal epithelium in the colon, which is the middle part of the hindgut, has deep folds. The rectum is a wide elongated sac and has six rectal pads.

In this study, zoogeographic evaluations of the Turkish Cantharidae family were performed. In this context, the faunistic similarities between the geographical regions of Turkey, Turkey- neighbor countries, and the Turkey-Subregions of the Palaearctic region were compared. According to current literature, the Turkish fauna of the Cantharidae is composed of two subfamilies, 15 genera, and 254 species (of which 167 are endemic species). The Mediterranean region has the most species (106 species) and the most endemic species (74 species). The highest similarity is found between the Central Anatolian and Aegean regions (60.2%). Cantharis livida Linnaeus, 1758 is distributed in all Turkey geographical regions. The Turkish cantharid fauna is more similar to that of Iran than other neighboring countries when comparing subregions of the Palaearctic region. The Cantharidae fauna of Turkey showed the most similarity to the fauna of the Middle East with a rate of 55.2%.
