(Figs. 1–2)
Type material: Holotype, male (22779 BMNH), Uganda, Western Region, Kibale Distr., Kibale Biol. Field. Station of Maker SU N 0033', W 03021', 1511 m, 19–24.x.2014, V. Anikin. Paratypes: 2 Ƌ (22780, 22788 BMNH), RSA, Durban, Natal, 1903-1904, Leigh.
Description. External characters. Head, thorax and tegula brown yellow. Labial palpus straight, short, two thirds of the eye diameter. Antenna pale brown. Wingspan 16–17 mm, holotype 17 mm. Fore wing yellowish brown, scattered with small brown dots and dashes. Dark brown spot in cleft base and above it. Horizontal narrow dark brown band on costal margin in distal part of first lobe. Yellow fringe with portions of dark brown hairs inside cleft and from outside second lobe. Hind wing grey, darker than fore wing. Fringe brownish grey. Hind leg pale yellow.
Male genitalia. Uncus wide, triangular, tapered to apex. Valvae asymmetrical, narrow, lanceolate. Harpe on left valva slightly bent, formed as claw-like spike. Costal margin of valvae formed as two wide sclerotized folds. Anellus arms straight, long, slightly widened in distal part, tapered to apices. Saccus small, triangular, with arched notch. Phallus thin, without cornuti, slightly bent in basal part.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. In male genitalia the sclerotized folds on the costal margin of valva and the form of the uncus and the phallus Crassuncus agassizi is similar to C. ecstaticus (Meyrick, 1932), but is distinctive from it by the bent harpe on the left valva, the long arms of the anellus and the arched notch on the saccus. In C. ecstaticus the harpe on the left valva is straight, the anellus arms are short, triangular and the saccus has no notch outside.
Distribution. Republic of South Africa, Uganda.
Etymology. The species is named after Dr. David Agassiz (London, UK), a prominent entomologist, specialist in Microlepidoptera and organizer of the workshop in Kibale.

(Figs. 3–4)
Type material. Holotype, male (22781 BMNH) Western Region, Kibale Distr., Kibale Biol. Field. Station of Maker SU N 0033', W 03021', 1511 m, 19–24.x.2014, V. Anikin; Paratypes: 3 Ƌ, (22782 BMNH, CUK 281, CUK 282) with same data as holotype.
Description. External characters. Head between bases of antennae with appressed yellow hair-like scales. Thorax and tegula pale yellow. Labial palpus thin, dark brown, length equal to diameter of eye. Antenna brown, downy with yellow cilia. Wingspan 15–17 mm, Holotype 17 mm. Fore wing yellow, interspersed with small brown scales; brown elongated spot at base of cleft. Fine brown scales on costal margin of fore wing in middle and basal part. Distinct brown stroke above cleft on costal margin of first lobe. Apical area of first lobe framed with small spots of brown scales. Apical part of second lobe darkened. Fringe inside cleft grey, with a mixture of dark scales. Outer fringe of second lobe dark brown. Hind wing unicolorous, dark grey. Fringe grey, significantly darker in apical part of three lobes. Hind leg yellowish grey, darker at base of spurs.
Male genitalia. Valvae asymmetrical, left one wider than right one. Harpe on left valva large at base, with thin hook. Right valva narrow, lanceolate. Sacculus with expressed fold in middle part. Anellus arms thin, slightly bent at apices, right arm slightly bent, right arm longer than left one. Uncus thin, long, tapered at apex. Phallus almost straight, thin, short, half the length of valva.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. In male genitalia Hellinsia anikini is distinctive by the form of the harpe on the left valva. It is quite similar to H. aldabrensis (T.B. Fletcher, 1910), but differs by the absence of the processes and harpes on the right valva. The color of the wings, the dark spot at the cleft base and the darker hind wings of the new species are similar to H. sphenites (Meyrick, 1913), but is distinctive from it by the male genitalia structure.
Distribution. Uganda.
Etymology. The species is named after Dr. Vasily Anikin (Saratov, Russia), the Russian entomologist, specialist in Coleophoridae, whose collections of Pterophoridae in Uganda became the basis for this article.

Type material: holotype, male (22783 BMNH) Central Region, Mpigi Distr., Mpanga Forest National Park, N 0012', W 03218', 1511 m, 25–29.x.2014, V. Anikin. Paratypes: 1 Ƌ, (CUK 282), 1 ♀, (BMNH 22784) with same data as in holotype.
External characters. Head between bases of antennae with pressed yellow hairs. Thorax and tegula yellow. Labial palpus short, dark brown, length two thirds of the eye diameter. Antenna brown grey. Wingspan 13–16 mm, holotype 15 mm. Fore wing yellow, interspersed with small brown scales. Small brown spot at base of cleft. Three dark brown horizontal strokes on costal margin of fore wing in median and distal part. Apical part of second lobe dotted with small brown points. Fringe inside cleft grey brown. Outer fringe of second lobe grey with admixture of darker hair bundles. Hind wing unicolorous, dark grey. Fringe dark grey. Hind leg yellowish grey, darker at base of spurs.
Male genitalia. Valvae asymmetrical. Harpe on left valva thin, rather long, arched. Strong curved process extending from harpe base. Right valva narrow, lanceolate, narrower than left one, noticeably narrowed in apical part. Right arm of anellus longer than left one, basal part of anellus arms widened. Uncus thin, narrow, tapered to apex. Phallus short, almost straight, half length of valva. Saccus with shallow oval notch from outside.
Female genitalia. Papillae anales narrow, triangular. Apophyses posteriores long, thin. Apophyses anteriores not developed. Lamina postvaginalis wide, trapezoidal. Ostium in left part, antrum tubular, sclerotized. Ductus bursae short, membranous. Bursa copulatrix elongated, oblong; signum small, oval, with cluster of small spines.
Diagnosis. Externally and by the general structure of the male genitalia, Hellinsia nawrothi is close to H. aethiopica (Amsel, 1963) and Paulianilus madecasseus (Bigot,1964), but differs by the arched harpe on the left valva in the male genitalia, and by the special oval signum in form of small spines in the female genitalia from these species.
Distribution. Uganda.
Etymology. The species is named after the Professor, Doctor of Medicine, Peter Nawroth (Heidelberg, Germany), a famous German endocrinologist.

Rd., 31.7367°N, 110.6663°W, 4722 ft., July 5 - Aug. 6, 2019.
Remarks: This species was based on a single specimen from Texas without specified collecting method. While its aedeagus is distinctive, the elytral punctation considered by Löbl & Stephan (1993) as diagnostic, is too variable and dissection of aedeagus is required to confirm its species identity. The examined specimens are 1.52-1.68 mm long, somewhat smaller than the holotype.

Remarks: The species was based on an unknown number of specimens from Arizona and Texas (Casey, 1893: 530). The senior author has examined a male syntype labelled “Williams Ariz” / “TYPE USNM 48161” / “desertorum” (handwritten). As its aedeagal characters have not yet been published, respective illustrations are given here (Figs 13, 14). An examined male syntype of Scaphisoma dakotanum Fall, 1910, originally spelled dakotana, labelled “Wickham, Bismarck, N. Dak.” / “dakotana TYPE” / “M.C.Z. Type 24119” / “H.C.Fall collection” / “ Scaphisoma dakotana Fall ” is found conspecific with S. desertorum. It is here designated as lectotype, and bears respective label, dated 1987.
Hence, Scaphisoma dakotanum Fall, 1910, syn. nov. = S. desertorum Casey, 1893.
This species is reported from Arizona, North Dakota and Texas, the vouchers from Texas were not examined.

description: Scaphisoma convexum Say, 1825
Material examined: WBWC; 1 female; Arizona, Cochise Co. Huachuca Mts., 0.8 rd. mi. SW Reef, 31.4238°N, 110.2991°W, July 4-24, 2019.
Remarks: The species is in external characters similar with S. commune Löbl, 1997 [a replacement name for the homonymous S. castaneum (Motschulsky, 1845)]. The puncture pattern of the metaventrite and ventrite I enables reliable identification. In addition, the aedeagi of these species differ drastically: S. commune possesses a long, thin flagellum extruded in repose while S. convexum has a robust rod as illustrated in Leschen et al. (1990). Scaphisoma convexum can be collected in numbers from basidiomycete fungi (Newton, 1984; Leschen et al., 1990).

Scaphisoma rufulum

description: Scaphisoma rufulum LeConte, 1860
Fig. 15
Material examined: MHNG, WBWC; 1 male, 1 female; Arizona, Santa Cruz Co. Duquesne Rd., 2.3 rd. Mi E jct. Hwy 82; Santa Cruz R., 31.3757°N, 110.8406°W, Aug. 3-14, 2018. – MHNG, WBWC; 1 male, 1 female; Arizona, Santa Cruz Co. Palo Prado Rd., east side Santa Cruz R.; 31.531°N, 111.016°W, July 11-16, 2018.
Remarks: This species was based on a single specimen (LeConte, 1860: 323). It is a male examined by the senior author in 1987, bearing the following labels: small, round golden-colour label, “ TYPE 6639” (red) / “ S. rufulum Lec. Cal. ” (handwritten) and my determination label dated 1987. The aedeagus is illustrated for the first time in the present paper (Fig. 15). It is similar with that of S. impunctatum Reitter, 1879 (see Leschen et al., 1990), suggesting close relationships. It differs from that of S. impunctatum by the apical process of the median lobe less inclined, and the parameres more sinuate in dorsal view and narrowed apically in lateral view. Scaphisoma rufulum may be distinguished from S. impunctatum also by its lighter body and completely or to large part fused mesepimera, as in those of S. carolinae Casey, 1893.
This species is reported from California, Arizona and North Carolina (Löbl, 2018).
