Comment: This species was described from one male and one female collected in a locality near Zhongdian in northwestern Yunnan (PACE 2011). The male from the Gongga Shan is labelled as a paratype of N. yunnanensis, but not mentioned in the original description (PACE 2011). Based on the similarly derived male sexual characters, particularly the shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus, and the similar external characters, this species is closely related to, and probably the adelphotaxon of, N. gansuensis, from which it is distinguished by the presence of a median granule on the male tergite III and by the slightly different shape of the aedeagus.
The currently known distribution is illustrated in Map 4. The examined material was sifted from litter in various forest and shrub habitats at elevations of 2100-3800 m.

Diagnosis. All species in this complex are diagnosed by having the propleura tightly appressed to the probasisternum and prosternellum, thereby concealing part of the prosternellum (Fig. 2a). Apparently, this condition independently evolved in the Ambrysus subgenus Syncollus of North America. The genera Ambrysus and Australambrysus are both members of the subfamily Ambrysinae. In other species of Australambrysus, the propleura are not tightly appressed to the probasisternum and prosternellum, although the propleura extend beneath and partially obscure view of the prosternum (Fig. 2b).
Discussion. I refer to this group as the A. plax species complex because it is this species upon which I compare the three new species and to which they are sister. Additional putatively undescribed species in this complex from Brazil, Colombia, and Peru might be added as future studies warrant. This neotropical genus is in need of revision and has many undescribed species in various museums; other species are known from only the original descriptions of more than a century ago. Consequently, it would be premature to designate additional species complexes at this time.

description: Subgenus Turcmenicola Bogatchev, 1952
Type species: Turcmenicola jachontovi Bogatchev, 1952 by monotypy.
Bogatchev, 1952: 44 (as genus); Skopin, 1961a: 25 (as junior synonym of Colposcelis (Scelocolpis )); Medvedev, 1970: 405 (Colposcelis (Turcmenicola )).
Diagnosis of the subgenus. Body usually robust in males and females, with long thin legs (body slender only in males of C. selevini). Head with very deep semicircular emargination between genae and epistoma, base of mandibles dorsally open. Anterior margin of epistoma straight or slightly rounded. Prothoracic hypomera and pronotum extremely finely and sparsely punctured; punctures often poorly visible. Elytra much wider than pronotum, with complete or shortly interrupted in middle basal border. Humeri widely rounded, poorly expressed or absent, not protruded. Lateral elytral carina between disc and epipleura very thin, as groove; rounded on the ventral side together with the lateral margin of the disc. Epipleural carina without sharp borders passes into the bordering of elytral base. Base of elytra gently sloping, without sharp vertical margin. Male genitalia typical for Tentyriini: aedeagus inverted (tegmen located ventrally, and median lobe dorsally), ventral processes of apical piece absent, apical piece of tegmen weakly curved. Ovipositor is also typical for Tentyriini (Doyen 1993; Ren & Ba 2010; Chigray & Nabozhenko 2018; Chigray et al. 2018; Chigray & Abakumov 2019; Kamiński et al. 2022): proctiger not sclerotized at apex, with thin straight baculi. Paraproct long, with slightly S-shaped baculi; coxite lobe I large, with transverse baculi basally, coxite lobes II–IV merged; lobes IV with weakly sclerotized oval areas (place of articulation of reduced gonostyli) and strongly sclerotized processes rounded at apex. Genital ducts usual for Tentyriini, very simple: bursa copulatrix (spermatheca sensu Doyen (1993)) long, sub-acute, accessory gland long and thickened.

Tomoderus flavus Uhmann, 1981: 188 (not Tomoderus (Pseudotomoderus) flavus Heberdey, 1936b: 254)
Notes
Heberdey (1936b) described Tomoderus (Pseudotomoderus) flavus from "Südost-Borńeo" (Indonesia) (Heberdey 1937: 284). This subgenus was first treated as a distinct genus by Bonadona (1961: 70), and this species was later cited as Pseudotomoderus flavus by Telnov (1998a, 2004, 2005a). Uhmann (1981) created a primary homonym when he described Tomoderus flavus from Tanzania, which is known only from the description. The replacement name Tomoderus abditus nom. nov. is here proposed for the Tanzanian species, and is based on the Latin adjective for concealed (" abditus ").
It is important to stress that Heberdey's paper was in a "Festschrift" that was published in two issues (Heberdey 1936b, 1937) at separate times, despite the continuous pagination, as is stated also on the title page of the volume: "Pag. 1--256, mit 23 Tafeln und 29 Textfiguren, am 31.XII.1936 erschienen. Der Rest des Bandes am 16.IV.1937 erschienen". All new species described in this revision must be dated 1936, since all are included in the identification key, but most of the formal descriptions appear in 1937.

description: The talk describes how commercial companies create operating systems with highly integrated services, which scientists use in every phase of their daily work and which by the way produce data about this work. These data, in turn, are processed by the commercial providers and converted into further products, which are now offered to the science bureaucracy as a tool for recruitment and research planning. The structure and marketing of both the tools for scientists and the controlling tools for the administration have features that are widely known from electronic environments (compliance through convenience, vendor-lock-in), but also features that show at the same time elements of the centrally planned economy  and (although at first sight incompatible with it) a strong competitive connotation. The presentation also discusses the possible consequences of such a data-driven science control for individual researchers  as well as for science as a social enterprise.

Rhopaltriplasia Diakonoff, 1973: 404.
Type Species. Acroclita trimelaena Meyrick, 1922, by original designation.
Remarks: Rhopaltriplasia is similar to other Eucosmini in the following character states: hindwing veins M3 and CuA1 stalked, valva with a distinct “neck” between the sacculus and the cucullus in the male genitalia, and ductus bursae sclerotized anteriorly with a ring at middle in the female genitalia (R. insignata). Diakonoff (1973) placed Rhopaltriplasia in Olethreutini based on features of the the male genitalia, including the extensive tegumen, the developed uncus and gnathos, and the long spined sacculus of the type species.

description: Rhopaltriplasia insignata Kuznetsov, 1997 (Figs. 1, 2, 3)
Rhopaltriplasia insignata Kuznetsov, 1997: 797, figs. 1–2.
Material examined. CHINA: Zhejiang Province: Mt. Tianmu (30°26' N, 119°34' E), 3ɗ, alt. 1500 m, 18.viii.1999; 1&, 350 m, 20.viii.1999 (Houhun Li).
Diagnosis. This is the only species in the genus for which a female is known. Rhopaltriplasia insignata (described from Vietnam) is very similar to R. macrorhis, R. rotundipetalina sp. n., and R. spinalis sp. n. It can be distinguished easily from R. macrorhis by the shorter valva, which does not reach the apex of the uncus; in contrast, the valva is very long and exceeds the apex of the uncus in the latter species. Differences between R. insignata and the two new species described here are stated below. Adult (Fig. 1): Forewing length 5.5–5.9 mm.
Male genitalia (Fig. 2): As illustrated.
Female genitalia (Fig. 3): As illustrated.
Distribution. China (Zhejiang), Vietnam.

Diagnosis (adapted from Coquillett, 1908 and Hardy, 1959). General body color dark yellow, with all setae and setulae dark yellow; arista micropubescent; anterior fronto-orbital seta inclinate; wing dark brown maculated with two patterns: a) strongly darkened (see in Fig. 1b), in which only the anal lobe is less dark and b) with three welldefined markings, one small macula at wing base, at the level of costal break reaching crossvein r–m, another across the anterior-posterior wing axis, at level of vein dm–m and a third small macula at R 2+3 apex. The wing membrane coloration pattern is very particular to the species. For a detailed view see Fig. 1b. In a general view, wing membrane predominantly maculated, with three main arms, one basal, one medial, and one distal. Arms not continuous, having some immaculate rounded spots in each area. Basal arm not reaching the posterior margin of the wing, ending close to the CuA + CuP. Medial and distal arms reaching the posterior margin of the wing. Frons with numerous short interfrontal setulae; abdominal tergites I–II completely dark yellow, remaining tergites with wide gray spots; surstylus fused to epandrium; lateral view of epandrium distinctly lobate or partially lobate at ventral apices; postgonite pointed and narrow.
