The diagnostic characters that differentiate Omalaspis from morphologically similar genera are described. From the thirteen known species of Omalaspis only O. cavroi (Hedicke, 1914), O. latreillii (Hartig, 1840), O. norica Giraud, 1860 and O. orientalis Belizin, 1968 are valid species. All these species are redescribed. Omalaspis nigra (Hartig, 1840) and O. abnormis (Kieffer, 1901) are synonymized with O. norica, and O. ruficornis Thomson, 1877 is synonymized with O. latreilli. Omalaspis laevis Hedicke, 1914 belongs to Xyalaspis, O. davydovi Belizin, 1927 is considered as 'incertae sedis' and O. carinata (Kieffer 1901) 'species dubia'. Three species are considered as species inquirenda: Omalaspis femoralis Ionescu, 1963 (which belongs to Diapriidae), O. convexa Kierych, 1985 and O. sulcata (Kieffer, 1901). Six new species are described: O. asiatica Ros-Farre & Pujade-Villar n. sp., O. brandaoi Pujade-Villar & Ros-Farre n. sp., O. curvilineata Ros-Farre & Pujade-Villar n. sp., O. gibsoni Ros-Farre & Pujade-Villar n. sp., O. niponica Ros-Farre & Pujade-Villar n. sp. and O. villemantae Pujade-Villar & Ros-Farre n. sp. The diagnostic characters of all species are illustrated and a key to differentiate them is given. A new character is defined here exclusive to Omalaspis within the Aspicerinae, the supratorular impression.

    Myrmeleotettix Bolivar (Orthoptera, Gomphocerinae) in Anatolia on the basis of morphological and behavioural characters: data suggest a new species from southern end of the Anatolian refugium

It is poorly known in Anatolia except some records of M. maculatus. As for the other glacial refugia, cold preferring members of this genus are discontinuously distributed on high altitudes in Anatolia. Additionally, morphology is not sufficiently useful in taxonomy of gomphocerinae members for those producing a complicate courtship song. Thus an accurate taxonomy requires extensive materials and different character sources. In this study, the taxonomy of Anatolian Myrmeleotettix is reexamined on the basis of qualitative and morphometric morphology, and male calling and courtship songs. Song and morphology both suggest the existence of two species in Anatolia. The first is M. maculatus (Thunberg) which is distributed along the northern one-third of Anatolia in addition to other parts of West Palaearctic. The second is a new species, Myrmeleotettix ethicus sp. n. possibly endemic to the southwest corner of Anatolia. The new species can be easily distinguished from the most similar species M. maculatus by morphology as well as by song characters. The conclusions are: (i) similarities in courtship and calling songs of these two species may indicate that they are sister species (ii) from habitat preference and distribution patterns it can be inferred that they diverged following a cold period and the new species is a remnant of ancestral population in southern Taurus, and (iii) the new species is a range restricted, vulnerable species as is the case for many other taxa present in the Mediterranean Taurus biodiversity hotspot.

    Species of the genus Eurydema (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in Far East Asia: An integrated approach using morphological, molecular, and data crossing analyses for taxonomy

In order to prove the above taxonomic changes, we focused on three major analyses; (1) morphological study (color patterns), (2) molecular identification (DNA barcording) and (3) cross-breeding (inter-specific copulation, fertilization). The results of these analyses were sufficient to confirm the new taxonomic changes. According to the cross-breeding analysis, interspecific copulation between males of E. dominulus (= E. pulchra) and females of E. g. gebleri or E. g. rugosa occurs in nature, but the eggs laid by the interspecific copulation were unfertilized. Two subspecies, E. g. rugosa and E. g. gebleri, preserve their own unique coloration patterns; this was confirmed by the results of intra-subspecific copulation and breeding. However, the 1(st) progeny from the inter-subspecific copulation of E. g. rugosa male X E. g. gebleri female (or E. g. gebleri male X E. g. rugosa female) were confirmed to have the coloration patterns inherited from E. g. gebleri.
