A summary of species from one axiidean family and two gebiidean families collected during the Panglao Marine Biodiversity Project 2004 is presented. The axiidean family Micheleidae is represented by one damaged specimen, tentatively identified as Michelea sp. The gebiidean family Laomediidae is represented by two species, Naushonia carinata Dworschak, Marin & Anker, 2006 and Axianassa heardi Anker, 2011. The family Upogebiidae is the most diverse and represented by nine species, Acutigebia sp., Neogebicula monochela (Sakai, 1967) with one specimen each, Gebiacantha ceratophora (de Man, 1905) and G. multispinosa Ngoc-Ho, 1994 with two and three specimens, respectively, G. laurentae Ngoc-Ho, 1989 with 21 specimens was the most common followed by Upogebia barbata (Strahl, 1862) and U. holthuisi Sakai, 1982 with 8 and 6 specimens, respectively. Figures for seven species of Upogebiidae are presented. Except for U. barbata, all upogebiid species and Axianassa heardi are here recorded the first time from the Philippines.

We report on the discovery of a new ant species belonging to the Echinopla mezgeri species group from Peninsular Malaysia. Echinopla tunkuabduljalilii sp.n. differs from Echinopla mezgeri Zettel & Laciny, 2015 from Borneo by a reduced puncturation on head, mesosoma, petiole, and gaster, and by a comparatively low petiole. Collection circumstances are described.
Key words: ants, Camponotini, Echinopla, new species, Malaysia, arboreal ants.

Zusammenfassung
Wir berichten über die Entdeckung einer neuen Ameisenart aus der Echinopla mezgeri-Artengruppe aus Westmalaysien. Echinopla tunkuabduljalilii sp.n. unterscheidet sich von Echinopla mezgeri Zettel & Laciny, 2015 aus Borneo durch reduzierte Punktierung auf Kopf, Mesosoma, Petiolus und Gaster sowie durch einen vergleichsweise niedrigen Petiolus. Die Sammelumstände werden beschrieben.

A new species of Helotrephes Stål, 1860 is described: Helotrephes grossepunctatus sp.n. from Nan Province in Thailand belongs to the H. sausai species group, which is distributed in various mountain ranges of Southeast Asia and southern China. Its closest relatives are H. monticola Zettel, 2000 from the Doi Inthanon (Chiang Mai Province, Thailand) and H. komareki Zettel, 2004 from Zengcheng (Guangdong Province, China). A key to males of the H. sausai species group is added.
Key words: Helotrephidae, Helotrephes, new species, stream, Thailand, Oriental.

In the frames of our research on the genus Jurinea (Carduinae), the taxonomic status of some species has been checked. In this study, evidences are presented to support transferring the species Jurinea gedrosiaca to Tricholepis, a genus in Centaureinae. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that J. gedrosiaca is conspecific with T. edmondsonii described around 40 years later. Consequently, the correct name of the taxon is Tricholepis gedrosiaca, and the respective combination is presented. An improved description, photos and distribution map of the species are also provided.
Keywords: Centaureinae, Compositae, flora of Iran, plant taxonomy, synonymy.

In the course of a revision of the New World Ebenaceae for "Flora Neotropica" and some regional floras, specimens from ca. 100 herbaria have been studied. Diospyros agnitser B.Walln., and D. robolot B.Walln. are described as new species from Bahia (Brazil). D. gaultheriifolia Mart. ex Miq. (synonym: D. duartei Cavalcante), and D. riedelii (Hiern) B.Walln. (basionym: D. peruviana Hiern var. riedelii Hiern) from Eastern Brazil are here described in detail. D. spinosa Hiern is relegated into the synonymy of the Indian D. chloroxylon Roxb. Figures, two distribution maps, vernacular names, information on habitat, lists of specimens, and an identification key for the Diospyros gaultheriifolia group are included.

Zusammenfassung
Im Rahmen einer Revision der neuweltlichen Ebenaceae für "Flora Neotropica" und einige Regionalfloren konnten Herbarbelege aus ca. 100 Herbarien studiert werden. Diospyros agnitser B.Walln. und D. robolot B.Walln. werden als neue Arten aus Bahia (Brasilien) beschrieben. Die beiden ostbrasilianischen Arten D. gaultheriifolia Mart. ex Miq.

D. spinosa Hiern wird als ein Synonym des indischen D. chloroxylon Roxb. erkannt. Abbildungen, zwei Verbreitungskarten, Volksnamen, Angaben zum Habitat, Listen der gesehenen Herbarbelege, sowie ein Bestimmungsschlüssel für die Diospyros gaultheriifolia Gruppe werden präsentiert.

The name Echinops armatus Boiss. & Hausskn. is illegitimate, because there exists an earlier homonym. A new name, Echinops rechingeri Negaresh, is proposed for E. armatus Boiss. & Hausskn. Two new combinations are proposed here. Images of type specimens of E. rechingeri var. rechingeri, E. rechingeri var. cryptadenus and E. rechingeri var. papillosus are provided. br> Kew Words: Asteraceae, Cardueae, Echinops, new combinations, new name.
