(Figs. 11, 23–27)
Diagnosis. This species can be identified by the following characters: penis capsule looks like a hammer and apex of penis with 8 to 10 minutely dentate, apically with a long, thread-like appendage. Its parameres relatively broad, shorter than penis guide, 3/4 length of the latter.
Description. TL: 2.28 mm, TW: 1.64 mm, TH: 1.00 mm, TL/TW: 1.39, PL/PW: 0.5, EL/EW: 1.17.
Body elongate oval, moderately convex, dorsum surface with fine, golden yellow pubescence (Fig. 11). Head, antennae and mouthparts yellowish brown. Pronotum reddish brown. Scutellum and elytra reddish brown. Underside yellowish brown except the metaventrite reddish brown.
Head small, 0.57× of pronotal width (HW/PW=0.68/1.20). Punctures on head similar with eye facets, separated by 1–2 diameters, with golden yellow pubescence. Eyes small, the widest interocular distance 0.47× of head width. Pronotum about 0.73× of elytral width (PW/EW=1.20/1.64), pronotal punctures fine, 1–2 diameters apart. Surface of elytra with dense punctures, separated by 1.5–2 diameters. Prosternal carinae nearly parallel, extending to anterior margin. Prosternal process trapezoid, length 3.5 times of width at the base. Abdominal postcoxal lines incomplete (Fig. 23). Area surrounded by the line evenly punctured, narrowly smooth along the line.
Male genitalia: Penis slender, penis capsule hammer-like in lateral view (Fig. 24). Apex of penis with 8 to 10 minutely dentate, apically with thread-like appendage, forming a round shape (Fig. 25). Tegmen moderately stout, penis guide nearly parallel, converges gradually apically to a pointed tip in ventral view (Fig. 27). Parameres relatively broad, distinctly shorter than penis guide, 3/4 length of the latter, apex with two groups of nearly uniform setae oriented in different directions (Fig. 26). Female genitalia unknown.

description: Gnophopsodos ravistriolaria ravistriolaria (Wehrli, 1922)
(adults Pl. 2, Fig. 6 a; male gen. Pl. 4, Fig. 6 d)
Gnophos ravistriolaria Wehrli, 1922, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift Iris, 36: 23, pl. 1, fig. 23, pl. 2, fig. 35, 51.— Locus typicus: Russia / Mongolia, Sajan Mountains, Munko –Sardyk, 3400 m. Deposition of holotype: ZFMK. Examined.
Material examined. Type material. Holotype Ƌ of Gnophos ravistriolaria ravistriolaria Wehrli, 1922 (Pl. 2, Fig. 6 a; Pl. 4, Fig. 6 d): [Russia / Mongolia:] ‘ Munko Sardyk | Sajan mont.’, ‘ ravistriolaria | Wehrli | Gnophos | Dr. Wehrli Ƌ Type’, ‘ ravistriolaria | Wehrli | Gnophos | abgebildet Seitz IV | SupPl. Fig. | Dr. Wehrli Typ’, ‘582 | Ƌ’, ZFMK.
Description. Adults (Pl. 2, Fig. 6 a).
Measurements. Wingspan: 30 mm (Ƌ); forewing length: 16 mm (Ƌ); forewing width: 10 mm (Ƌ). Wings. Upper side yellowish, densely cluttered with gray freckles, especially near margin; postmedial line slightly visible, blurring with freckled background; underside blurred yellowish, a shade lighter than the upper side.
Male genitalia (Pl. 4, Fig. 6 d). [The description of the male genitalia is given based on the remaining fragment of the valva and the photograph of the holotype depicted by Wehrli (1922)] Costa with costal thorns condensed on a subterminal cactus-like structure; uncus strongly sclerotized, terminating in a beak-like peak.
Diagnosis. Gnophopsodos ravistriolaria ravistriolaria can be recognized by its rounded forewings and its blurred brownish wing-pattern.
Distribution (Fig. 4). The type specimen of G. ravistriolaria ravistriolaria was captured in the Sajan Mountains at Munko–Sardyk at an altitude of 3400 m. The mountain Munko–Sardyk is located north of the lake Chöwsgöl Nuur near the Russian–Mongolian border. Viidalepp & Soljanikov (1977) figured a male from river Horidulin–Gol and listed a female from upper course of river Uryngym–Gol but we did not succeed in finding the exact sites of these on maps.
Biology. After Viidalepp & Soljanikov (1977) a female was captured on the 6th of July 1965 and a male on the 19th of August 1966.

Diagnosis (See Thandar 1987).
Material examined. A31605, South Coast Survey 2011, off Mossel Bay and Plettenberg Bay, 34° 25'S, 22° 52'E), Demersal Trawl 026-3448, Cruise 273, 102 m, 16/04/2011, Lara Atkinson, 2 spec; A31610, South Coast Survey 2011, off Plettenberg Bay, 34° 9'S, 23° 24'E), Trawl 031-2271, Cruise 273, 75 m, 17/04/2011, Lara Atkinson, 4 spec.
Distribution (after Thandar 2008). Luderitz (Namibia) to Port Elizabeth (South Africa), 0– 110 m.
Remarks. This is a well-known southern African endemic previously much confused with other congenerics but this controversy was cleared up by Cherbonnier (1952) and Thandar (1987). Natasen Moodley (2000), analysed the ossicles of several forms and this was summarised by Thandar (2008). No brood pouches described for the species by Cherbonnier (1952) and Thandar (1991) were observed.
A species of some contention is Cucumaria leonina var. africana described by Britten (1910) from Luderitz (Namibia) and assigned to the genus Pseudocnus by Panning (1949). This species, never found again, was erroneously relegated to the synonymy of Pseudocnella insolens by H.L. Clark (1923) and this was reiterated by Deichmann (1948), Cherbonnier (1952) and Thandar (1987, 1991). It is here recommended that Panning’s (1962) re-description of Britten’s species as Pseudocnus dubiosus africanus, presumably from type material, must be upheld until a revision of the genus Pseudocnus, currently in progress, is completed.

Varitrella (Cantotrella) – Gorochov, 2006: 33; Gorochov & Tan, 2014: 536; Tan et al., 2020: 264
Type species. Varitrella palawanensis Gorochov, by original designation
Remarks. This subgenus consists of 19 species from Indochina, Malay Peninsula, Java, Borneo, Philippines and Sulawesi. It can be distinguished from the nominotypical subgenus by the absence of metanotal gland in males, the apical part of the ectophallic fold [rachis] in the male genitalia widened and with comparatively smaller lobes (including a virga-like or finger-like median process), and the ectoparameres (if they are developed) probably originated from the lateral lobes of the pseudepiphallus [epiphallus] but not from the lateral lobes of the ectophallic fold [rachis] (Gorochov & Tan, 2014).

Rhynchasphaera basisticta Bechyné 1958:680 (Peru: Oxapampa, holotype female).
Measurements. LB = 8.58 mm; WB = 4.91 mm (N=1)
Distribution. Peru.
Type examined. Holotype female: Oxapampa Peru, Type Rhynchasphaera basisticta ns. J. Bechyne det., 1957 (NMB).
Literature records. PERU: Oxapampa (Mus. G. Frey) (Bechyné 1958).
Description of genitalia. Dissection of the holotype was not possible due to the poor condition of the abdomen.
Diagnosis. Rhynchasphaera basisticta can quite easily be separated from the two other species in this genus, based on the elytral coloration alone (see key above, Figure 7). Rhynchasphaera basisticta can additionally be separated from R. latipleura by having shiny (less deeply punctate) elytra (Figure 7A), and elytra that are not evenly rounded when viewed laterally (in R. basisticta, the basal half of the elytra is much less rounded than the apical half, Figure 7B). Rhynchasphaera basisticta can be further separated from R. orophila by having a clearly punctate frons (Figure 7C).

Material examined. Holotype: EAST MALAYSIA • ♂; Sabah State, Sandakan, Sepilok, Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve; N5.86985, E117.93805, 69.8± 7.7 m.a.s.l.; 1 October 2019; on a foliage; coll. M.K. Tan, R. Japir & J. Lee Yukang; SDK.19.78 (FRC)
Other material examined: EAST MALAYSIA • 1♂; Sabah State, Sandakan, Sepilok, Rainforest Discovery Centre; N5.87435, E117.94205, 49.9± 5.7 m.a.s.l.; 17 May 2022, 20h17; among the branch and foliage, feeding on the fruits of Leea; coll. M.K. Tan & T. Robillard; SBH.22.132 (MNHN)
Remarks. This represents the second specimen for this species, having been previously described by a single holotype. The male resembles the holotype but we also illustrated the spermatophore (Fig. 15C).
Ecology. The recently collected specimen was observed to feed on the fruits of Leea, but it probably also fed on the flowers and leaves of this common plant at the Rainforest Discovery Centre (Fig. 16).
Distribution. Known only from the type locality, Sepilok (Borneo, Sabah State).
Calling song. The calling song of the holotype was described in Tan et al. (2020). The call structure and call parameters of Varitrella (Cantotrella) suikei are distinct from those of Varitrella (Cantotrella) tabin sp. nov.: the former consists of irregular trill instead of well-defined echeme-sequences (even though each echeme is made up of two syllables). The echeme and syllable durations of Varitrella (Cantotrella) suikei are shorter in duration; and the dominant frequency is slightly higher.

Diagnosis. Allopachria elongata sp. nov. can be separated from all species of the genus with similar size by strongly enlarged first pro-tarsal segments and by the male genitalia. Allopachria elongata sp. nov. resembles A. dudgeoni Wewalka, 2000 in habitus, but can be distinguished from A. dudgeoni by its larger size (2.55 mm), larger male genitalia, punctures of elytra more or less denser, strongly enlarged first protarsal segments, and insertion of the second protarsal segment at the middle of the first protarsal segment.
Description. Body regularly oval, attenuated to apex, moderately convex (fig. 1); with longitudinal furrow on lateral margins of elytra. Body length 2.55 mm, width 1.70 mm.
Head testaceous, with black line along eyes; clypeal margin more or less truncate, without bead; punctures fine, irregularly distributed, slightly denser in distal half; anterior half finely microreticulate. Antennae flavo-testaceous, moderately long and slender.
Pronotum dark ferrugineous to black, paler at anterior and lateral margins; lateral margins distinctly bordered; punctures strong, irregular in size, partly coarse; with some wrinkles at basal third; without microreticulation.
Elytra dark ferrugineous to black, with two testaceous spots, one subbasal and one subapical; punctures fine, almost regular in size and distribution; longitudinal rows of punctures distinct; highly polished and shining; without microreticulation.
Ventral side. Margins of metacoxae and abdomen dark ferrugineous to black and rest of ventral side rufo-testaceous; some strong punctures and wrinkles on anterior metaventrite and metacoxal process; small punctures sparsely distribute on metacoxae and on abdomen; without microreticulation.
Legs rufo-testaceous. Male: protarsomere I extremely enlarged, about two times as long as protarsomere II (figs. 15, 17).
Male. Penis (figs. 3–4, 19); parameres (figs. 5, 21).
Female. Unknown.
Distribution. China: Guangxi.
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the extremely elongated protarsomere I in male specimens. Habitat. River ca. 10 m wide, with some pools, substrate of rocks, gravel and sand (fig. 22).

description: Genus Ptilocrinus A.H. Clark, 1907
Type species of the genus: Ptilocrinus pinnatus A.H. Clark, 1907.
Synonymy: Ptilocrinus A.H. Clark, 1907: 551; Bather, 1908: 297; Ptilocrinus (Ptilocrinus) Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b: 41; Ptilocrinus (Chambersaecrinus) Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b: 52; Ptilocrinus Roux et al., 2002: 817, 822.
Emended diagnosis. Five unbranched arms; proximal arm pattern usually 1+2 3 4 5+6 7+8 or 7 8+9 with first pinnule on Br4, or on Br5 with 1+2 3 4+5. Four proximal brachials nearly equal in height and width. Pinnules relatively rigid without both conspicuous genital expansion and H-shaped plates; lateral plates of the same size or smaller than cover plates, and number and extension in proximal pinnule variable. Tegmen moderately to highly inflated with moderately sized orals and variable anal cone close to oral cone. Aboral cup usually smooth, rarely with small transverse ridges; primibrachials about 2/3 radial width; basals three or usually fused. Stalk symplexies with 6–9 crenular units; distal syzygies frequently with well-developed crenularium.
Remarks. Wanner (1916a) erroneously used the generic name Ptilocrinus for a Devonian fossil species from Germany, which was finally assigned to the genus Eifelocrinus Wanner, 1916b.
As he described P. a n t a rc t i c u s, Bather (1908: 297–298) gave the first diagnosis of the genus Ptilocrinus. He recognized the following main characters as significant at the generic level: first pinnule on Br4; arm articulation restricted to 2/3 radial width; brachial pair at Br5+6; other brachial pairs infrequent and irregular distally. According to Mironov & Sorokina (1998b), the presence of H-shaped plates in pinnules justifies the distinction of the genus Dumetocrinus, and they include two subgenera in the genus Ptilocrinus sensu stricto, i.e. Chambersaecrinus and Ptilocrinus. The subgenus Ptilocrinus is based on derived characters in tegmen and distal stalk syzygies. The subgenus Chambersaecrinus is pragmatically maintained for the other species. Complementary studies might be conducted to determine if Chambersaecrinus could be raised to the genus level or if the distinction of two subgenera is not justified.

description: Subgenus Chambersaecrinus Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b
Type species of the subgenus: Ptilocrinus brucei Vaney, 1908. Synonymy: Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b: 52.
Emended diagnosis. Subgenus of Ptilocrinus with tegmen variously inflated; conspicuous radial bridges elevated above tegmen from orals to Br5 or more; cover plates well differentiated on tegmen; orals concave (median depression); anal sac always conspicuously higher than oral cone. Tendency for larger interradial tegminal plates to be arranged into a median row when tegmen inflated. Distal stalk syzygies with crenularium weakly differentiated.
Included species. P. brucei Vaney, 1908 [= P. (Chambersaecrinus) flexibilis Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b] (southwestern Indian Ocean, 4,070 to 5,474 m); P. (Ptilocrinus) s tukalinae Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b [= P. (? Ptilocrinus) perforatus Mironov & Sorokina, 1998b] (north and southwestern Pacific, southwestern Indian Ocean, 4,664 to 6,145 m); P. tasmaniaensis Améziane & Roux, 2011 (off Tasmania, 1,715 to 1,815 m).
Remarks. The detailed description of the type series of P. (Ptilocrinus) stukalinae by Mironov & Sorokina (1998b) documented the wide range of variation in crown characters. The single known specimen of P. (? Ptilocrinus) perforatus falls within this range. Moreover, its mesistele symplexies strongly resemble those of P. stukalinae suggesting that they belong to the same species. It has interradial tegminal plates in a median row, confirming the attribution of P. stukalinae to the subgenus Chambersaecrinus. P. stukalinae has a well developed anal sac which seems to be adjacent to the tegmen margin (personal communication of A. Mironov). P. (Chambersaecrinus) flexibilis was established on the basis of a single incomplete specimen (aboral cup broken, stalk unknown) without significant differences from P. brucei.

Iruanaria Boulard 1993: 92.
Lacetasini Moulds & Marshall (in Marshall et al.) 2018: 49. n. syn.
Recognising Lacetas, Iruana, Bafutalna and Murphyalna as a monophyletic group, that is the Lacetasini, raises an issue of nomenclatural priority. Marshall et al. (2018) erected the tribe Lacetasini; however Boulard (1993) erected the subtribes Iruanina Boulard, 1993 and Bafutalnina Boulard, 1993, family group names that now all become synonyms. Iruanina and Bafutalnina have date priority over Lacetasini (Articles 23.1 and 23.3, ICZN 1999). However, the names Iruanina and Bafutalnina were published simultaneously and require a decision on priority. The subtribes proposed by Boulard (1993) differ in their acoustic systems with the Iruanina having a complete sound system and the Bafutalnina lacking any mechanism to produce sound. Because Lacetas has a functioning timbal-based sound system like the Iruanina, we choose the name Iruanina as having priority, fixing it as the valid name under Article 24.2 (ICZN 1999). Thus, Lacetasini n. syn. becomes a subjective junior synonym of Iruanini rev. stat. (Article 61.3, ICZN 1999). The subtribe Iruanina is retained for the genera Iruana and Lacetas and Bafutalnina is retained for the genera Bafutalna and Murphyalna. This grouping also makes sense biogeographically as all the included genera are African.

description: Genus Rhorus Förster, 1869
Type species: Tryphon mesoxanthus Gravenhorst, 1829
The genus can be distinguished from other ctenopelmatine genera by the presence of a characteristic U-shaped emargination between the base of the propodeum and the metanotum as well as by a slender ovipositor in its apical part (these two characters are typical of most Pionini). Species of Rhorus can be easily recognized by the absence of a suture between the face and the clypeus, by subbasal convexity of the mandible (convexity not strong and usually mat), and by semi-cylindrical, usually yellow ovipositor sheaths (their rounded apices bear a hairy membranous depression dorsally); distinctive characters of the wing venation include the presence in the fore wing of an areolet and nervulus usually very strongly postfurcal in the fore wing and hind wing - presence of a strongly inclivous nervellus usually broken near the lower end. The presence of a slender ovipositor suggests that hosts (sawflies) can be attacked at the stage of early-instar larvae or even eggs; there are records of oviposition through the ocellus in the larval head capsule (Zinnert, 1969; Pschorn-Walcher and Zinnert, 1971). Adult ichneumon wasps always emerge from cocoons of the host.
All representatives of the subfamily Ctenopelmatinae are koinobiont endoparasitoids and attack sawfly larvae (Hymenoptera Symphyta). For Rhorus about 70 sawfly species, mainly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae, are known to be hosts (Yu et al., 2012).
