Anomala longilobata is a species of beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It was described by Ming-Zhi Zhao and Carsten Zorn in 2022. It is endemic to Hainan, China. [1]
The species is named after the Latin prefix “longi-” and the adjective “lobatus, -a, -um”, alluding to the slender and lobed lower branch of paramere. [1]
Males measure 13.7–14.4 mm (0.54–0.57 in) in length and 7.8–8.3 mm (0.31–0.33 in) in width. Females measure 14.4–15.4 mm (0.57–0.61 in) in length and 8.7–9.1 mm (0.34–0.36 in) in width. The body is elongated ovoid and strongly convex in shape. Male coloration is highly variable and varies from green, reddish green, yellowish or reddish brown and purplish black to coal black. Females are yellowish brown with greenish sheen and weak metallic luster. [1]
Nepenthes izumiae is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows in montane forest at 1700–1900 m above sea level. It appears to be most closely related to N. lingulata and N. singalana.
Anomala is a genus of shining leaf chafers in the family of beetles known as Scarabaeidae. There are at least 1,200 described species in Anomala.
Nepenthes flava is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to northern Sumatra, where it grows in montane forest at 1800–2200 m above sea level.
Pristimantis luscombei is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is known from north-eastern Peru, adjacent Amazonian Ecuador, and from Acre state, Brazil. Some of the paratypes were later identified as belonging to another species, described in 2014 as Pristimantis miktos. At the same time, Pristimantis achuar was identified as synonym of Pristimantis luscombei.
Amolops torrentis, commonly known as the torrent sucker frog or the little torrent frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae and genus Amolops that is endemic to China, specifically only on the island of Hainan. They are most likely to be found in streams and surrounding wetland areas. Males have high-pitched mating calls, which are favored by females. Glands on this species' skin can secrete toxins. This species suffers from parasitism and habitat loss. Currently it is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN and is protected by law in China.
Nepenthes chang is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Banthad Mountains of central Thailand, where it grows at elevations of 300–600 m above sea level. It is thought to be most closely related to N. kampotiana.
Hasarius insularis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Hasarius that lives on Socotra Island, Yemen. It was first described in 2002 by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten. The spider is medium-sized, with a carapace that measures typically 4.5 mm (0.18 in) in length and an abdomen that is typically 5.9 mm (0.23 in) long. It has a cephalothorax that is mainly reddish-brown on top and yellowish on the bottom. The abdomen has dark topsides with a yellowish pattern and dark dots and patches underneath. It has copulatory organs that are similar to other species in the genus. The insemination ducts are relatively short and the spermathecae spherical, but they are both thicker than those found in other examples. The spider's name recalls a Latin word that means "insular".
Thiratoscirtus mastigophorus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Thiratoscirtus that lives in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The species was first described in 2013 by Konrad Wiśniewski and Wanda Wesołowska. It is a small spider, with a cephalothorax that is typically between 1.8 and 1.9 mm long and an abdomen that is 1.7 and 2.2 mm in length. The female is larger than the male. It is generally brown on top with a darker eye field and light brown or greyish-brown underneath. The spider has brownish legs. Although some have yellow patches. The front pair of legs are longer, stouter and darker than the others. In many of its physical attributes, it is similar to other species in the genus. However, compared to Thiratoscirtus bipaniculus and Thiratoscirtus kalisia, with which it has many similarities, the spider can be identified by the structure of its copulatory organs. The male is particularly distinctive as it has a long whip-like embolus that springs from the base of the palpal bulb and follows an unusual path to end near the top of the cymbium. The shape of the embolus is recalled in the species name, which is derived from Greek words meaning "whip" and "one bearing a whip".
Evarcha arabica is a species of jumping spider in the genus Evarcha that lives in Yemen. The species was first described in 2007 by Wanda Wesołowska and Antonius van Harten. The spider is small, with a carapace that measures between 2.1 and 2.7 mm long and an abdomen that is between 1.8 and 3.2 mm long. The female is generally larger and lighter than the male. The spider's eye field is darker. The top of the male abdomen is blackish-brown with a pattern of white dots and a large yellowish-orange belt. The top of the female abdomen has similar white dots but is mainly yellow with small darker dots. The male's legs are brown and yellow while the female's are orange to yellow. It has distinctive copulatory organs. The female has accessory glands near the copulatory openings and simple bean-like spermathecae. The male has a thin embolus and a tibial apophysis that has a forked tip.
Plexippoides regius is a species of jumping spider in the genus Plexippoides. The species was first described by Wanda Wesołowska in 1981 based on specimens from North Korea but its distribution has been extended to include China, Russia and South Korea, with examples found as far as Sichuan. The spider is small, with a body length between 6.9 and 8.65 mm, the female being generally larger than the male. It is distinguished by the two brown lines that stretch across the back of its carapace and abdomen that is recalled in its Korean name. Otherwise, the spider varies in coloration, with some examples having an orange or yellow-brown carapace and others dark brown. The male has a long embolus that encircles the palpal bulb. The female has complex seminal ducts that lead to heavily sclerotised and many-chambered spermathecae.

Druon quercuslanigerum is a species of gall wasp that forms galls on Quercus virginiana, Quercus geminata, Quercus fusiformis, and Quercus oleoides. There are both asexual and sexual generations. The asexual generation forms galls on the leaves whereas the sexual generation forms galls on the catkins. It can be found in the southern United States and Mexico. Predators of this species include the green parakeet.
Peckhamia wesolowskae is a species of jumping spider in the genus Peckhamia that lives in Cuba. The species was first described in 2020 by Franklyn Cala-Riquelme, Abel Bustamante, Sarah Crews and Bruce Cutler. The spider mimics ants of the Cephalotes genus. It is a small spider, measuring between 3.3 and 4 mm in length, the female being smaller than the male. The spider is dark reddish in colour, and lacks a distinctive pattern on either the abdomen or carapace. The chelicerae are also reddish and have a distinctive concave central section which helps to distinguish the species from others in the genus. Other distinguishing characteristics for the species include the very long thin embolus of the male and the wide spermathecae in the female.
