Samples were collected at 19 sites in Panama, and inquiline specimens were reared from 63 gall morphotypes, including six species of Quercus, mainly Q. salicifolia andQ. bumelioides. Two genera were found: Synergus, represented by 10 species, and the recently described genus Agastoroxenia Nieves-Aldrey & Medianero, with a single species, A. panamensis Nieves-Aldrey & Medianero. Synergus was recorded for the first timein Panama; Synergus mesoamericanus and Synergus nicaraguensis, which were formerly recorded from Guatemala and Nicaragua, have now been recorded in Panama, and eight new species of Synergus are described here: Synergus elegans, S. laticephalus, S. ramoni, S. rufinotaulis, S. luteus, S. gabrieli, S. baruensis and S. chiricanus. A key for the identification of the studied fauna is provided. An overall similarity cluster analysis of the inquilines of oak gall wasps of Panama, including one Neotropical andtwo Palaearctic species as outgroups, is included.

Two new species are added to the genus Kusala Dworakowska 1981 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from South China, K. datian-ensis sp. n. and K. populi sp. n. A key is given to distinguish all species of the genus. At the same time, the genus Gam-bialoa Dworakowska (1972) is reported for the first time from China, a new record, Gambialoa asiatica Dworakowska, 1979 from China are described and illustrated newly. A species checklist of Gambialoa from Oriental Region is provided.

Some of the problems of ensuring the provision of accurate scientific information, both as hard copy and on-line, are discussed. Any author will know that the satisfaction gained from seeing the results of one's labours in print is always tempered by the mistakes one immediately starts to find; the glaring errors that had somehow remained hidden from view in hours of manuscript checking but that now leap from the page, and the more subtle ones that gradually come to light over a period of years but have no less potential to misinform or mislead, and may even be quoted by other authors, thus perpetuating them for generations to come.
