RESUMO
Two new species of the achilid planthopper genus Usana Distant, 1906 (Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha, Achilidae, Myconinae, Plectoderini), U.tongmaiensis Long & Huang, sp. nov. and U.rotalarius Long & Huang, sp. nov., are described and illustrated from Xizang and Chongqing. A key to all known species and a map of geographic distributions for Chinese taxa is provided.
RESUMO
The termitophilous genus Trichopsenius Horn, 1877 is recorded from China for the first time. A new species, Trichopseniushuaxiensissp. nov. is described; it was collected in a nest of the termite genus Reticulitermes Holmgren from a dead and flattened pine tree.
RESUMO
Grouvellinus huaxiensis sp. nov. was collected from Huaxi river in an urban setting of Guiyang (Guizhou, China) in 2021. Habitus and diagnostic features of the new species are described and illustrated herein. The new discovery reflects that the water quality and ecological stability of urban rivers is not necessarily in conflict with anthropogenic activities in the surrounding, which also provides us new insights into the protection of urban freshwater ecosystems.

During our field work, a series of larvae of the family Synchroidae was collected under the bark of dead trees. Subsequently, most larvae were reare to adults in a lab and were identified as Synchroa chinensis Nikitsky, 1999. In the present paper, we describe the mature larva and pupa of S. chinensis for the first time.
