TL;DR: The systematics and phylogeny of the Blattaria are reviewed and previously unreported, Cahita gradlis Rocha is a junior synonym of Symploce pollens (Stephens).
Abstract: The systematics and phylogeny of the Blattaria are reviewed. Subjects covered are: taxonomic and diagnostic characters, fossils, classification, families, genera, estimates of number of taxa, non-classical taxonomy, identification, scientific and vernacular names; a glossary, and brief sketches of some Masters of cockroach taxonomy are included. Previously unreported, Cahita gradlis Rocha is a junior synonym of Symploce pollens (Stephens).

TL;DR: This work summarizes what is known for all gallwasp tribes in the region extending from Pakistan to Japan and south to Indonesia, and highlights contributions that work in this region has made to understand the biology of this group as a whole.
Abstract: Cynipid gallwasps comprise around 1300 species worldwide, predominantly in temperate regions of the Holarctic. The vast majority of species are recorded either from the Nearctic or the Western Palearctic, both of which are long-standing centers of research on the taxonomy and biology of this group. In contrast, the eastern Palearctic fauna is little studied, but potentially extremely rich. The known gallwasps of eastern Asia fall primarily into three tribes: the oak gallwasps (Cynipini), the rose gallwasps (Diplolepidini) and the cynipid inquilines (Synergini). Recorded species richness for all cynipid groups in the eastern Palearctic is probably significantly underestimated, and we predict that this will be particularly true for gallwasps associated with oaks in the subgenera Quercus and Cyclobalanopsis, and perhaps for related host plants in the Fagaceae. We summarize what is known for all gallwasp tribes in the region extending from Pakistan to Japan and south to Indonesia, and highlight contr...

TL;DR: An annotated checklist of the Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) of the Indian subcontinent comprising 400 species (including six subspecies) under 79 genera, 22 tribes and five subfamilies, is given.
Abstract: An annotated checklist of the Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) of the Indian subcontinent (excluding the subfamily Epilachninae) comprising 400 species (including six subspecies) under 79 genera, 22 tribes and five subfamilies, is given. The current combination, original citation, synonyms, distribution and type depository (wherever known) are given for the included species. Three new specific synonymies [Harmonia breiti Mader = H. expallida (Weise); Ortalia yunnanensis Pang & Mao = O. horni Weise; and Scymnus picescens Gorham = S.fuscatus Boheman], one generic synonymy [Aponephus Booth = Nephus Mulsant] and six new combinations [Coelophora perrotteti Mulsant and C. unicolor (Fabricius) with Phrynocaria Timberlake, Platynaspis bimaculata Pang & Mao with Platynaspidius Miyatake, Aponephus lentiformis Booth with Nephus Mulsant, Pseudoscymnus luteoniger Canepari with Clitostethus Mulsant, and Sukunahikona popei Vazirani with Scotoscymnus Weise] are proposed. A list of coccinellids introduced into the regi...
