Non-type material. Strain NIG (French Guiana): 54 males dissected.
Male terminalia. The median gonocoxites is slightly grooved and presents a divergent hypandrial bristle at the ends of each side (Fig. 6A). The aedeagal apex is elongated and curved back (Fig. 6B–D); it displays scales on the ventral portion and structures like long bristles along the apex (Fig. 6E). The dorsal region of the aedeagus presents a protuberance, named aedeagal dorsal crest (Fig. 6D). The aedeagal sheath is elongated, smooth and without serrated edge (Fig. 6D). The ventral postgonites are thinner at the end, the middle portion of this structure is slightly serrated (Fig. 6B–D). The aedeagal ventral processes are thin, bifurcated and they have the ends facing outwards (Fig. 6B–D). Each pregonite displays two small bristles (Fig. 6B–D).

(Fig. 8 A–C)
New locality. iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Sodwana Bay, Jesser Point (lighthouse) (27°32'28.4"S, 32°40'47.9"E), green algae from swirl holes on rocky plateau in mid-eulittoral of a highly-exposed, steep beach, December 10, 2009.
Known distribution. Kenya, Mombasa, Tudor Creek, McKenzie Point (Jouk & De Vocht 1989).
Material. One specimen studied alive and whole mounted afterwards (HU, no. VII.4.7).
Additional remarks. The studied individual is 0.7 mm long (measured on the whole mount), uncoloured and lacks eyes. Caudally an adhesive girdle is present. The proboscis is rather small, approximately 1/12 of the body length long, with curved hooks that do not possess any ornamentation or denticle. In the preserved specimen both hooks are lying on top of each other and the distal tip of the most visible one is clearly bent. Therefore, our measurements (± 11 µm) are an approximation. Soft sidepieces could not be observed. The cylindrical pharynx is situated in the first third of the body and has a long, tubular prepharyngeal cavity, without any spines. The unpaired testis is situated near the proximal end of the pharynx. Paired seminal vesicles and extracapsular prostate glands enter the prostate bulb. This bulb is connected to a 52-µm-long cirrus, of which the most distal end is enveloped in a 25-µm-long and 10-µm-wide, pseudocuticularised papilla. The single ovary is situated next to the cirrus, at approximately 80%.
Although only one specimen could be studied, and rather few details could be observed, the observations mentioned above clearly fit the original description by Jouk & De Vocht (1989).

description: 1. Melalgus japonicus Chûjô, 1973 and Melalgus batillus (Lesne, 1902)
M. japonicus was described by a Japanese entomologist M. Chûjô from Tsushima Island (Chûjô 1973) based on a single male. The author provided the species description in Japanese, but the article contains two photographs of M. japonicus and Latin names, including the name of the new species. As M. japonicus was described in a magazine of local circulation, not easily available, the species was not included in the world’s catalogue of the Bostrichidae (Borowski & Węgrzynowicz 2007). For the same reasons the species was not included in the Palaearctic catalogue, either (Borowski 2007), although Tsushima Island lies between Japan and South Korea, i.e. in the Palaearctic region. In 2021 the holotype of M. japonicus was found and is now held in the collection of Ehime University (EUMJ). Based on the holotype and several other specimens (including females) the species was redescribed (Yoshitomi 2021). The author provided a detailed description of the species, colour photographs and black-and-white figures of male genital segments of M. japonicus. The detailed description leaves no doubt as to the fact that the M. japonicus is a junior synonym of M. batillus (Lesne, 1902), the most common representative of a genus occurring in the Mainland Southeast Asia. Full synonymy of the species along with its geographical distribution is presented below.

description: Genus Singaporemma Shear, 1978
Singaporemma Shear, 1978: 36. Type species by original designation Singaporemma singularis Shear, 1978 (= S. singulare Shear, 1978) from Singapore.
Rediagnosis. Males of Singaporemma are distinguished from those of the other genera of Tetrablemmidae by the following combination of characters: lack of a modified process on the clypeus and chelicerae (Figs 1G, 3G), swollen palpal tibia (Figs 2A–B, 4D–E, 6A–H), oval bulb with a long embolus originating from the mesial side of the bulb (Fig. 6A–H), and a sharp embolic tip (if not, bifurcate) (Fig. 6a–h). Diagnostic characters for the females are: small, oval epigynal pit opening at the margin of the pulmonary plate (Figs 2D, 5B, 7C), vulva with distinctly sclerotized copulatory channel, paired vulval ducts with sclerotized walls at their base (Figs 2E, 5D, 7A–C, 8A–B, 9A–B), the central process and inner vulval plate at least one present (Figs 2E, 7A–B, 9A–B), or both (Figs 5C–D, 7C, 8A–B).
Composition. S. adjacens Lehtinen, 1981, S. banxiaoensis Lin & Li, 2014, S. bifurcata Lin & Li, 2010, S. halongense Lehtinen, 1981, S. lenachanae Lin & Li, 2017, S. singulare Shear, 1978, S. takensis Yan & Lin, sp. n., and S. wulongensis Lin & Li, 2014.
Distribution. China (Chongqing, Guizhou, and Guangxi), Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore (Fig. 10).

Hylopachyiulus likanus: Strasser (1966: 44) (synonymization)
Diagnosis. A species of Micropachyiulus without ommatidia. Differs from all congeners by a relatively welldifferentiated mesomeral process being clearly divided from the opisthomere in its distal half, vs. the mesomeral process being mostly fused to the opisthomere, with only a small freely protruding apical part in the remaining species.
Otherwise very similar to Micropachyiulus corylorum, Micropachyiulus ocellatus comb. nov. and Micropachyiulus paucioculatus in terms of gonopod conformation, and especially in the shape of the solenomere which ends up with a minute, transversely oriented apical projection. Differs easily from M. ocellatus comb. nov. by a long and pointed (vs. short and blunt) epiproct, and from M. paucioculatus —by a much shorter solenomere (subequal to tip of mesomeral process and apical margin of posterior lamella, vs. considerably overreaching both of them). Differs from M. corylorum, by a slender and straight (vs. stout and bent ventrad) epiproct and by details of the opisthomere: absence of a rod-like process next to the solenomere and solenomere and mesomeral process subequal in height (vs. solenomere considerably overreaching tip of mesomeral process).
Distribution (Fig. 14, cyan circle). Bosnia and Herzegovina: Banja Luka (type locality).

2. Amphicerus (Caenophrada) malayanus (Lesne, 1899) and A. (Caenophrada) caenophradoides (Lesne, 1895)
Amphicerus malayanus was described based on numerous species (males and females) collected in Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. The described specimens came from the museums in Paris, Leiden and Vienna.After a morphological analysis of typical males and females from L. Bedel’s and R. Oberthür’s collections (MNHN) it can be safely stated that the species is identical with A. (C.) caenophradoides. The features differentiating A. malayanus and A. caenophadoides, presented by Lesne in his key, only reflect the individual variability of the latter. The author of A. malayanus description himself summarised it as follows: „ Nous avions d'abord confondu cette forme avec notre Bostrychus caenophradoides, dont elle est extrêmement voisine, á tel point qu'on peut la considérer comme une race géographique de ce dernier.” A. caenophadoides is a common species, widely distributed in the Orient, and so, considering the species strong heteromorphic variability, the size of frontal or pronotal tubercles or elytral puncturation and pubescence cannot be indicated as the only diagnostic features. Thus A. malayanus should be treated as a newer synonym of A. caenophradoides. Full synonymy of the species name along with its geographical distribution is presented below.

Figures 6H–h, 7A (cited from Lehtinen, 1980: fig. 47, slightly modified)
Singaporemma adjacens Lehtinen, 1981: 31, figs 47, 51, 64. S. adjacens Lin et al., 2017: 51, fig. 23F.
Examined material. Holotype ♂ (ZMUT), VIETNAM: Quang Ninh, Ha Long, in litter of dense jungle close to seashore, altitude 10 m, 12 October 1978, P.T. Lehtinen leg, examined and photographed by Seppo K.
Diagnosis. Male of this species is distinguished from S. wulongensis and S. bifurcata by the lack of a furcate tip in embolus, but present in the latter two (Fig. 6H, 6h vs. Fig. 6E–F, 6e–f), and from the rest of congeners by the wider, belt-shaped embolus, but narrower, tubular in the rest (Fig. 6H, 6h vs. Fig. 6A–D, 6G, 6a–d, 6g). Female differs from females of other Singaporemma specie by the shorter, smaller central process (Fig. 7A vs. Figs 2E, 5D, 7B), and the lack of inner vulval plate and anterior ventrolateral plate (Fig. 7A vs. Figs 7C, 8A–B, 9A–B).
Description. See Lehtinen, 1981: 31.
Remark. We have no chance to examine the type material of S. adjacens from Vietnam for this study. Dr. Seppo Koponen (University of Turku, Finland) helped us to reexamine the holotype of this species and photographed its left palp. This species shows an egg-shaped bulb, a unique character within the genus Singaporemma. Unfortunately, we also had no chance to check the female specimens, so we can only cite Lehtinen’s illustration of this species (Fig. 7A as modified from Lehtinen, 1981: 109, fig. 47).
Distribution. Vietnam (Fig. 10).

3. Bostrychoplites megaceros Lesne, 1899 and Bostrychoplites cornutus (Olivier, 1790)
So far B. megaceros has been only known its type specimen, namely a male collected in Tanzania (Kondoa) (MNHN). After describing it (Lesne 1899b), Lesne never again addressed the species in his later diagnostic papers, and the only mention of the species was including B. megaceros in Bostrichidae’s world catalogue (Lesne 1938). B. megaceros was also missing from the monograph of the Bostrichidae of tropical Africa (Lesne 1924). Lesne described B. megaceros mainly due to the size of the specimen and, consequently, more forward protruding outgrowths. The holotype is 18 mm long, while the maximum length of the related B. cornutus was supposed to be 17.5 mm (Lesne 1899b). More pronounced morphological traits in larger specimens of the genus Bostrychoplites are quite normal, particularly visible in its most frequently caught representative, namely B. cornutus.
B. cornutus is a very common species representing the Afrotropical distribution. It is a polyphagous species and can develop in the wood of various tree species occurring from semi-deserts to rainforests. The conditions for larvae development in such habitats are often extremely varied, hence the collections often have specimens of different body sizes. In an analysis of the material from many museums the body length of B. cornutus was found to vary from 6 to 18 mm, so some specimens can be even three times as large as the smallest ones. B. maegaceros is such an example of the upper limit size of B. cornutus. Full synonymy of the species names along with its geographical distribution is presented below.

Material examined. USA: IOWA: Winneshiek Co., Decorah, Van Peenan Spring at Van Peenan Park, 43.312834, -91.776010, 17.v.2022, em. 22.v.2022, J. van der Linden, ex Veronica sp. (1Ô, USNM).
Biological notes. The rearing container in which this specimen emerged included a single mined Veronica leaf inhabited by multiple Metriocnemus erythranthei larvae and one or two M. eurynotus larvae. The photographed M. eurynotus larva (Fig. 12a) exited the mine a short time later and began wandering on the leaf surface; it was later preserved. A second unmined Veronica leaf containing no larvae was added to the container at one point, and the M. erythranthei larvae began mining it after exiting their original leaf. The Psectrocladius vernalis male emerged five days after the original mined leaf was collected, along with a male of M. erythranthei. It would seem that it was one of the larvae feeding together in the mine and was not recognized as distinct from the M. erythranthei larvae. Larvae of P. vernalis have been found to live on the surfaces of submerged plants, including Eurasian milfoil (Haloragaceae: Myriophyllum spicatum L.) and native water stargrass (Pontederiaceae: Heteranthera dubia (Jacq.) MacMill.), but their habits were not observed (Balci & Kennedy 2003).

description: Thaumatodryinus Perkins, 1905
Remarks. Thaumatodryinus is a relatively rare genus. The most important taxonomic character of females is the presence of tufts of setae on FIII-VIII (Olmi, 1984, 1993; Olmi & Bechly. 2001). There have been eight extant species recorded from the Oriental Region (Xu et al., 2001). However, no extant species has been recorded from the Palaearctic Region. Host information for this genus is limited, but some species have been reared from the fulgoroid family Flatidae in the Nearctic, Neotropic and Australian Regions (Guglielmino & Olmi, 1997).

Geographical distribution: Africa south of Sahara, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Saudi Arabia, Yemen (incl. Socotra); introduced to USA and Europe.
4. Bostrychoplites suturalis Lesne, 1931 and Bostrychoplites peltatus Lesne, 1899
Lesne described B. suturalis based on 4 females caught in the eastern and southern parts of Africa, e.g. Transvaal. The description was accompanied with figures of the elytral declivity of the species. On the other hand, B. peltatus was described over 30 years earlier based on a single female from Transvaal (Lesne 1899b). While comparing both descriptions one can indeed imagine two separate species, however, in the description of B. peltatus P. Lesne made a mistake. After verification of the types of both species (MNHN) the described female of B. peltatus turned out to be a small male. An analysis of further material, mainly from South Africa (numerous specimens from the NHML collection) helped to establish that both described species just represented the opposite sexes of the same species. B. suturalis should thus be treated as a junior synonym of B. peltatus. Full synonymy of the species names along with its geographical distribution is presented below.

Examined material. Holotype ♂, paratypes 1♂ and 1♀ (IZCAS), CHINA: Guangxi, Pingxiang, Xiashi Town, Xinming Village, Banxiaotun, Banxiao Cave, 22°5.542'N, 106°52.148'E, altitude 175 m, 26 July 2011, X. Wang leg.
Diagnosis. Male of this species is similar to S. halongense (Fig. 6A) and S. lenachanae (Fig. 6D), but can be distinguished from the latter two by the narrower, pointed embolic tip (Fig. 6b vs. Fig. 6a, 6d), and by the vestigial white eyespots lacking black ocular base in the both sexes (see Lin & Li, 2014: fig. 4G–H vs. Lin et al., 2017: figs 16E–F, 21A). Female is close to S. takensis sp. n. in having a similar configuration of vulva, but differs from the latter by the inverted triangular inner vulval plate, the wider, shorter central process (Fig. 7C vs. Fig. 5C–D).

description: Dryinus Latreille, 1804
Remarks. Dryinus is the most common genus of Dryininae in the world. The females can be distinguished from those of other genera in this subfamily by a combination of the following characters: absence of tufts of setae on the flagellum; thin fifth segment of the fore tarsus, which is less than two times as broad as the enlarged claw; palpal formula 6/3; shorter enlarged claw, which is as long as, or shorter than, the fore tibia; and a shorter FI that is as long as, or shorter than, the pedicel (Olmi, 1984, 1993; Olmi & Bechly, 2001). There are 22 extant species recorded from the Palaearctic Region and 42 extant species from the Oriental Region. Their hosts have been recorded from many taxa of the Fulgoromorpha (Guglielmino & Olmi, 1997).

5. Lichenophanes fasciculatus (Fall, 1909) and L. penicillatus (Lesne, 1895)
Fall described L. fasciculatus based on a specimen from southern California (Santa Rosa) collected by Mr. Beyer. The syntype is in Harvard University collection, and very good-quality photographs of the specimen and labels can be found on the website of the MCZ.
Due to characteristic, very long and erect pubescence on the body (which is not found in any other species of the Lichenophanes genus), it cannot be doubted that L. fasciculatus is identical with L. penicillatus. The latter was described slightly earlier from Mexico (MNHN). So L. fasciculatus should be treated as a junior synonym of L. penicillatus. Full synonymy of the species is as follows:
