Dysyncritus Fowler is revised based on the examination of primary types, and restructured to exclusively accomodate Dysyncritus intectus Fowler, 1895. Allodrilus Evangelista gen. nov. (type species: Cymbomorpha nitidipennis Funkhouser, 1922 = Allodrilus nitidipennis (Funkhouser, 1922) comb. nov.) is erected with seven newly discovered taxa: A. alboferrugineus Evangelista sp. nov. (Brazil, Colombia, Guyana), A. colombiensis Florez-V sp. nov. (Colombia), A. deitzi Evangelista sp. nov. (Ecuador), A. granulatus Evangelista sp. nov. (Ecuador), A. horizontalis Evangelista sp. nov. (Bolivia), A. intermedius Evangelista sp. nov. (Ecuador), and A. similis Evangelista sp. nov. (Peru). A key to males is provided, in addition to annotated descriptions and illustrations. Nomenclatural changes are proposed to species formerly included in Dysyncritus: Smiliorachis nubilis (Goding, 1930) comb. nov., Smiliorachis discrepans (Goding, 1930) comb. nov., and Dysyncritus lineatus Goding, 1930 (= Smiliorachis octilinea Stal, 1869 syn. nov.).

A revision of the treehopper genus Bubalopa Stal illuminates the systematics of Hyphinoini (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Membracidae)

Camilo Florez-V, Olivia Evangelista

Summary: This study reassesses the taxonomic boundaries of the obscure genus Bubalopa endemic to the Northern Andes, providing identification keys, species redescriptions, illustrations, and distribution maps for the three species that constitute the genus. Immatures of Hyphinoe obliqua and B. furcata are described for the first time, with notes on their life history. A nomenclatural change is proposed for Hyphinoe punctorum, previously included in Bubalopa, which is now considered a junior synonym of Eualthe punctum.

Wallaciana gen. nov. (Hemiptera: Membracidae), a new treehopper genus endemic to montane south-eastern Australia

Olivia Evangelista

Summary: A recent expedition in the protected areas of the Australian Capital Territory led to the discovery of a new genus and species of treehopper after a 20-year hiatus in taxonomy. The new genus Wallaciana is proposed to include two species, with key diagnostic traits discussed and DNA sequence data provided for one of the species.

Summary: This study describes a new species of Oropedium genus, Oropedium tatamaense, found in the high paramo of Tatama, Colombia. This new taxon could not be classified in any known tribe of the Membracinae subfamily and requires further research on its classification and biology.

Andinodarnis gen. nov., a new treehopper genus from the Andes (Hemiptera: Membracidae: Darninae)

Camilo Florez-V, Olivia Evangelista

Summary: A new genus, Andinodarnis gen. nov., is proposed based on treehoppers collected from the Northern Andes. This genus includes two species, Andinodarnis pectoralis (Stal, 1869) comb. nov. and Andinodarnis atromeris sp. nov., with new distribution records from Ecuador. Identification keys, annotated diagnoses, life history records, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided for both species.

Summary: This article describes a new species of Ctenostegus spider wasp from Lord Howe Island, Australia, and provides an identification key for the C. immitis species-group based on external morphology and male genitalic features. Additionally, new distribution data for Hymenoptera on Lord Howe Island are reported, including a new genus of Pompilidae and the first record of the family Mutillidae.

The importance of tropical mountain forests for the conservation of dragonfly biodiversity: A case from the Colombian Western Andes

Cornelio A. Bota-Sierra, Camilo Florez-V, Federico Escobar, Juliana Sandoval-H, Rodolfo Novelo-Gutierrez, Gustavo A. Londono, Adolfo Cordero-Rivera

Summary: Forests in tropical mountains are crucial habitats for odonate biodiversity. Odonate assemblages in the Tatama Mountains in Colombia showed highest richness at lower elevations, with a higher number of endemic species in forests. Richness and endemism decreased with elevation, while forest odonates had narrower elevation ranges.
