Based on a revision of large recent collections housed by Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Masaryk University, Brno, and in the private collection of Yu. Verves (Kyiv, Ukraine), new distributional data and an updated and commented list of Czech and Slovak Sarcophagidae are presented. The following six species are firstly recorded from the Czech Republic: Macronychia ( s. str.) substriginervis Verves & Khrokalo, 2006, Paragusia multipunctata (Rondani, 1859), Oebalia praeclusa (Pandellé, 1895), Nyctia lugubris (Macquart, 1843), Blaesoxipha dupuisi Léonide & Léonide, 1973, and B. grylloctona Loew, 1861. As a result, 143 species of the family Sarcophagidae are currently known from the Czech Republic (109 from Bohemia and 129 from Moravia), and 131 species are known from Slovakia.

And Cercis siliquastrum L., are reported from Romania for the first time. They are Megabruchidius dorsalis (Fåhraeus, 1839), M. tonkineus (Pic, 1914), Bruchidius terrenus (Sharp, 1886) and B. siliquastri Delobel, 2007 respectively. Their distribution (native, in Europe and Romania) is reviewed. Notes on biology are provided and morphological characters for the identification of these species are discussed. We also provide information about the parasitoid assemblages associated with these seed beetles, three of the parasitoid–host relationships being reported here for the first time.

First data about Halictidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) in the región of Batna (Eastern Algeria) Investigations carried out on Halictidae bees in different localities in the region of Batna during the spring and summer seasons of 2009 and 2012 allowed the identification of 35 species; Lasioglossum musculum is reported for the first time in Algeria. The presence of Sphecodes puncticeps Thomson, 1870, a cleptoparasitic species, is confirmed. The flowers visited and the flight period of each species are noted.

Characters used in the taxonomy of the genus Lepidonella Yosii, 1960 (Collembola: Paronellidae) are listed and discussed. Several new ones are introduced. An overview of pseudopore patterns across Collembola is presented, with several new locations of these structures across Entomobryomorpha. Their interest at different taxonomic level is underlined. The genus Lepidonella is redefined. The American species L. marimuti Soto Adames & Bellini, 2015 is placed in incertae sedis among Lepidonella. Lepidonella species of the world are listed with synonymies and combinations. The Malaysian troglobitic species Pseudoparonella doveri Carpenter, 1933 is redescribed in detail, with emphasis on its pattern of antennal chaetae, and transferred to the genus Lepidonella. Its close similarity with L. lecongkieti Deharveng & Bedos, 1995 from southwestern Vietnam caves is underlined. This disjunct distribution is briefly discussed.

The diversity of arthropods is studied, at family and species level, on a pig carcass during a warm season in an open field in Badghan-Mount Lebanon. Ten orders of arthropods were found associated to the carcass. A total of 1168 specimens of adults Diptera and Coleoptera were collected. Among Diptera, the predator Chrysomya albiceps was dominant on the carcass during the active decay stage and Musca spp. were necrophagous. Within Coleoptera, Creophilus maxillosus (Linnaeus, 1758), Philonthus concinnus (Gravenhorst, 1802), Aleochara lata Gravenhorst, 1802, and Saprinus sp. were the predator taxa. Dermestes frischii Kugelann, 1792 and Necrobia rufipes (De Geer, 1775) were more present during the advanced decay, together with anthicids. In addition to a list of species visiting the carcass, we carried out a multivariate analysis of principal components to explore the relationships between the pattern of presences of 16 insect families and the four decomposition stages during the first 30 days of the carcass decomposition. The groupings of insects during the four decomposition stages show significant dissimilarities, suggesting that the different stages are characterized by different insect associations, as reported in many other previous studies.
