description: The genus Myrmecobrenthus Kleine, 1920
Type species: Myrmecobrenthus wasmanni Kleine, 1920
Myrmecobrenthus belongs to the tribe Eremoxenini, species of which show strong morphological modifications with regard to the usual brentid shape. These modifications are mainly in the form of rostrum, antennae, and sometimes the legs. Myrmecobrenthus species have a striking deformation of the antennae, which are composed by only nine articles, and the articles are short, appressed, enlarged and strongly compressed dorso-ventrally. The antennal shape resembles that of myrmecophilous Paussinae (Coleoptera Carabidae), and it is also similar to two other brentid genera, Pericordus Kolbe, 1833, and Paussobrenthus Gestro, 1919, although in these taxa there are 11 antennal articles instead of 9. In addition, the tibiae are enlarged and strongly flattened laterally, and they look somewhat foliaceous. The head and the rostrum also show strong modifications, as in all Eremoxenini. These modifications are related to the myrmecophilous behaviour of these brentids (Kleine 1921; Damoiseau 1979, 1980; Sforzi & Bartolozzi 2004).
Previously, two species of Myrmecobrenthus were known: M. ater Damoiseau, 1961 and M. wasmanni Kleine, 1920; a third one is described in this paper.

Litoria serrata

description: The status of Litoria serrata (Andersson, 1916).
Litoria serrata (Figure 4D) can be distinguished from all of the taxa discussed above by a combination of morphological traits and the male advertisement call. It can be distinguished from L. genimaculata, L. papua and L. exophthalmia by its larger size (adult males 38– 53 mm SVL) and the presence of an extremely well-developed crenulated fold along the outer edge of the fore- and hind-limbs (versus reduced or absent in L. exophthalmia, L. genimaculata, and L. papua). It can be distinguished from L. eucnemis (including H. rhacophorus and N. loveridgei; see above) by having a small, narrow tubercle or spike on the heel (versus a large, triangular lappet in L. eucnemis) and in having a different advertisement call consisting of a series of quiet ticking notes (versus a series of growls or ‘raucous notes’ in L. eucnemis). Advertisement calls of L. eucnemis have been described and illustrated by Zweifel (1980), and those of L. serrata by Richards et al. (1993) and Hoskin (2007).
Litoria serrata is sympatric with the genetically similar species L. myola over a very small area in the central Wet Tropics. In this area the two species can be distinguished by the smaller male size and faster, shorter and higher pitched call of L. myola (Hoskin et al. 2005; Hoskin 2007).
Concluding remarks. Our allozyme and mitochondrial molecular genetic data support the presence of two genetically divergent lineages, ‘northern’ and ‘southern’ Wet Tropics, within L. serrata (Schneider et al. 1998; Hoskin et al. 2005). The northern and southern lineages of L. serrata have been retained as a single species (Hoskin 2007), pending further investigations of the degree of reproductive isolation between them (Hoskin, in progress). On the basis of our mitochondrial DNA data, New Guinean populations of L. genimaculata are clearly polyphyletic, but we will deal with the taxonomic status of these in a subsequent publication.

(Figs. 1–2, 5–6, 9)
Myrmecobrenthus wasmanni Kleine, 1920: 27
The holotype of this species was destroyed in the Second World War, during the bombing of the German city of Hamburg. Basilewsky (1956) designated a neotype, which is preserved at MRAC and which we have been able to examine. In the original description Kleine (1920) described the species based on a single male specimen from South Cameroon; the neotype was designated as a male specimen from Yangambi (ex Belgian Congo, now Democratic Republic of the Congo).
Myrmecobrenthus wasmanni was known from Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo (ex Zaire), Ghana, and the Ivory Coast (Sforzi & Bartolozzi 2004). Thanks to the entomological expeditions of Mr. Susuni, we have been able to examine two specimens from Gabon (Figs 1–2) which represent a new record for the country. The label data are: 1 3, Makokou/Ipassa, II.2011, A. Susini legit (MZUF, collection number 15686) and 1 Ƥ, Parc de l’Ivindo, V.2009, A. Susini legit (MZUF, collection number 15687). Other examined material: 1 3, 1 Ƥ, Ivory Coast, Lamto (Toumadi), II.1968, C. Girard legit (MZUF, collection number 15688); 1 Ƥ, Ghana, Hohee, III.1986, K. Werner legit (MZUF, collection number 15689).
The female has never been figured before; it differs from the male by the tubular shape of the prorostrum (Figs. 6, 9).

Myrmecobrenthus ater was described (Damoiseau 1961) based on a single male specimen from Gabon. Later, another male specimen was recorded from Ivory Coast (Damoiseau 1967). We have been able to study both the holotype (IRSNB) and the second known male specimen (MRAC); the female is still unknown. The MRAC male specimen has less developed mandibles (see Fig. 3), but otherwise is identical to the holotype (Fig. 7). The holotype is in a bad condition—the left antenna and two legs are missing.

Remarks. The Zoology part of the Coquille voyage book series was printed in numerous fascicles (livraisons) over many years and in spite of the 1830 date printed on the front page, the text of “Insecta” by Guérin-Méneville was printed only in 1838 (Cretella 2010). However, the livraison No. 19 with plate 2 illustrating this species was published in 1830 (Cretella 2010) validating the joint description of genus and species— Laius cyaneus.
Included species. Four Australian species can be classified in Laius: Laius alleni Lea, 1909: 161 (Queensland, Cairns; SAMA, ANIC); Laius purpureipennis Lea, 1916: 321 (Northern Territory; SAMA, ANIC); Laius tibialis Gahan, 1900: 102 (Christmas Island; BMNH, ANIC); Laius triangulatus Wittmer, 1954: 305 (Western Australia, Baudin Point; BMNH).

description: Papuaneon Maddison, 2016
Papuaneon Maddison, 2016: 438.
Type species. Papuaneon tualapa Maddison, 2016 (by monotypy).
Revised Diagnosis. The embolus of Papuaneon arises on the dorsal-terminal side of the bulb, which may or may not be partially hidden behind the distal edge of the tegulum. The position is unlike that in Neon, whose embolus arises on the prolateral side of the bulb (Logunov 1998). As the embolus emerges from the terminal end of the bulb, it follows a path that differs between species; sometimes following a twisted path, sometimes a simple curve. The female has a swollen tarsus of the palp, and the spermatheca is divided into a smaller primary receptacle bearing the fertilization ducts, and a much larger bulbous secondary receptacle. The body is larger than usual for Neon, more hirsute.

Remarks. In addition to the species included below, some species currently classified in Dicranolaius will certainly be transferred to Intybia after detailed examinations of the type specimens and additional material. Laius filamentarius Lea was thought to be a true Laius by Wittmer (1952) however, according to the current generic concepts (Evers 1994) this species should be classified in Intybia based on the modified basal antennomeres in male, but with fore femur, tibia and tarsi simple without secondary sexual characters.

Diagnosis. The diagnosis is unchanged from that given by Maddison (2016).
Remarks. Papuaneon was described on the basis of a male and female pair of specimens of Papuaneon tualapa from a single location in Papua New Guinea. Further specimens of this species have now been collected from Australia. Examples of Australian male and female morphologies are shown in figures 3–7. There is no obvious difference between specimens from Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Distribution and Biology. The type material was collected in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. The Australian specimens are from high-rainfall forests in north eastern Queensland (Fig. 7), as a consequence, likely IUCN Red List Category LC.

Dicranolaius Champion, 1921b: 195. Type species, here designated, Laius falcifer Champion, 1921b: 204.
Remarks. Champion (1921b) included four species in the subgenus Dicranolaius (L. falcifer Champion, 1921 b, L. tetrastictus Champion, 1921 a, L. flavonotatus Champion, 1921 b and L. erythrocephalus Champion 1921 b. Of these four L. falcifer appeared to be the best candidate to be designated as the type species of the genus. The other three have been thought to be unfit because: L. tetrastictus was originally based on female only, L. flavonotatus is a junior homonym (see below) and the holotype of L. erythrocephalus is a teneral specimen.

Remarks. This common Australian species has been credited to Guérin-Méneville (1830) but the description by Boisduval (1835) should be given precedence due to the printing delay of the Insecta part by Guérin-Méneville to 1838 (Cretella 2010). Interestingly Boisduval cites Guérin-Méneville as the author of the species with correct page (78).

Strongylovelia Esaki, 1924: 228. Type species by original designation: S. formosa Esaki, 1924. Strongylovelia: Lansbury & Zettel 1997: 53; Chen et al. 2005: 272; Zettel & Tran 2006: 72.
Diagnosis. Small-sized veliids (1.2–1.9 mm), form apterous or macropterous; body in apterous morph ovoid in male and tear-shaped in female; thorax and usually also abdomen dorsally with distinctly yellowish marks; antennae long and slender, segment III longest; pronotum of apterous morph very short, mesonotum usually fused with metanotum together forming a rounded and distinctly raised hemispheroid; legs relatively slender, fore legs short, second tarsal segment three times as long as first; middle legs longest, first tarsal segment twice as long as second; hind legs short, first tarsal segment subequal to second; abdomen short, considerably narrowed towards the caudal apex, connexiva usually elevated dorsally.
This genus seems to be closely related to the genus Entomovelia, but differs by being smaller in size; by having the dorsal thorax and abdomen usually bearing yellowish marks; by having the mesonotum usually fused with the metanotum so that these together form a rounded and distinctly raised hemispheroid; in the second antennal segment being longer than the first segment; and in having the tarsal segments of the hind legs subequal in length.
Distribution. China, India, Indonesia (Borneo, Sumatra, Waleakodi near Sulawesi), New Guinea, New Britain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam.

description: Nel corso dei decenni, due eventi cruciali hanno segnato profondamente la storia dell’Unione Europea: l’introduzione dell’euro nel 1999 e l’allargamento verso est iniziato nel 1995. Oggi, a venticinque anni dall’introduzione della moneta unica e a trenta dall’inizio dell’allargamento, è utile esaminare come questi eventi abbiano plasmato l’Europa moderna, analizzando i loro successi e le loro sfide attraverso una lente critica e comparativa. Questi eventi non solo hanno segnato la storia dell’Unione Europea, ma hanno anche avuto un impatto profondo sulla geopolitica, sull’economia e sulle relazioni internazionali. Questo numero speciale si propone di esplorare e confrontare questi eventi, analizzando successi, sfide e implicazioni a lungo termine, basandosi su dati aggiornati e su una revisione critica della letteratura accademica in chiave interdisciplinare.

Material examined. CHINA, Yunnan Prov.: 5 apterous females, 5 apterous males, 1 macropterous male, Xishuangbanna, Mengla county, Wangtianshu rain forest park (21°37'N, 101°35'E), 29 April 2011, Zhen Ye leg. (NKUM).
Remarks. The specimen we have examined closely match the original description except that having a pair of whitish patches on the prosternum anteriorly near the hind margin of the eyes; the mesonotum bearing a different shaped, large whitish mark in the female (Fig. 2); and the metanotum possessing two orange blotches narrowly separated from mesonotum. However, a large series of S. paitooni spcimens from Phetchabun Province, northeastern Thailand also have characters that small or large yellow marks on the prosternum and different shape of marks on the mesonotum and presence or absence of spots on the metanotum (H. Zettel, pers. comm.). Thus, this species might have shown considerably variable colour or shape in these characters. In addition, we also present the first description of a macropterous male in this paper.
Macropterous male (Fig. 11). Ground colour blackish. Body length 2.25 (including forewing length); head width: 0.60, head length: 0.26, head width about 2.31 times head length, lengths of antennal segments I–II (III and IV damaged): 0.21, 0.20; pronotum pentagonal in outline, with characteristically shaped large, whitish, mark (Fig. 11), pronotum width: 0.93, pronotum length: 0.70, about 1.33 times as wide as long; lengths of leg segments (femora, tibiae and tarsi): fore leg: 0.43, 0.42 and 0.17 (0.04 + 0.13), middle leg: 0.90, 0.78 and 0.44 (0.26 + 0.18), hind leg: 0.61, 0.60 and 0.24 (0.10 + 0.14); forewings almost blackish, posteriorly surpassing posterior tip of body, hemelytra with thick corium, bearing one closed cell, veins indistinct.
