Three New Species Of Goera Stephens (Trichoptera: Goeridae) From Sulawesi, Indonesia, Brian J. Armitage, Tatiana I. Arefina-Armitage
Insecta Mundi
Three new species of the caddisfly genus Goera Stephens (Trichoptera: Goeridae) are described from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Goera neboissi sp. n., G. jolanda sp. n., and G. higleri sp. n. were found to be related to G. skiasma Neboiss, which is the only previously recorded species from Sulawesi. These species share the following combination of characters: an upright IXth segment; the absence of the median dorsal process of tergum X; a long, mesal process of the inferior appendage with a subbasal projection; and, the absence of parameres.

Five New Species Of Anillinus Casey From The Southern Appalachian Mountains And The Piedmont Plateau Of Eastern U.S.A. (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae: Bembidiini), Igor M. Sokolov
Insecta Mundi
Five new species of anilline ground beetles (Carabidae: Trechinae: Bembidiini) are described from the Appalachian Mountains and Piedmont Plateau of eastern United States. Two species, Anillinus unicoi n. sp. (from the Unicoi Mountains, North Carolina) and A. carltoni n. sp. (from the Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina/ Tennessee), inhabit the crests of adjacent mountain ranges, and share similarities with A. moseleyae Sokolov and Carlton. These three comprise a high-altitude group of species in the region. The third species A. chilhowee n. sp. Is one of the smallest representatives of the loweae-group of species. It differs from its relatives in characters …

The Bruchidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) Of La Reserva De La Biósfera Sierra De Huautla, Morelos, Mexico, With Descriptions Of Two New Species And An Annotated Checklist, Jesús Romero Nápoles, Richard L. Westcott
Insecta Mundi
From 1995 to 2004 collections for Bruchidae (Coleoptera) were made in La Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra de Huautla, Morelos, Mexico. Specimens were reared from mature seedpods, but also collected by net, malaise trap, and light trap. In total 72 species in 13 genera of Bruchidae were recovered. Of those two new species are here described: Amblycerus montalvoi Romero and Acanthoscelides camerinoi Romero. We record 27 host plants for the bruchids found in the study area.
