Abstract Recent fieldwork in eastern Sabah led to the discovery of new little-known crickets from the subfamily Pteroplistinae (Orthoptera, Grylloidea). Three new species are described: Tembelingiola biaculeata sp. nov. and Tembelingiola kabili sp. nov. from Sepilok; Pteroplistes silam sp. nov. from Mount Silam. Previously, the calling song of only one species of Pteroplistinae was known. Here, the calling songs of the three new species, as well as that of Pteroplistes lagrecai Gorochov, 2004...

Abstract Lignosus hainanensis was discovered in the Hainan Island, China, a decade ago, marking the only known occurrence of this species worldwide. This study provides the first report of Lignosus hainanensis from the Kadamaian Forest in Sabah (Northern Borneo), Malaysia, including detailed macro- and micromorphological descriptions, supported by molecular analyses. The morphological characteristics of the Malaysian collection was matched with the description of Lignosus hainanensis from the H...

Abstract Specimens representing three genera of Phaloriinae—Borneloria Gorochov, 2018, Phaloria (Papuloria) Gorochov, 1996 and Trellius (Zatrellius) Gorochov, 1999—were collected from Peninsular and East Malaysia and examined here. We report a new locality record for Borneloria moorei (Chopard, 1940) in Johor, Peninsular Malaysia, the first record of this genus in Malay Peninsula. From Sandakan, East Malaysia, we discovered a new species of Trellius (Zatrellius) and describe here: Trellius (Z...

ABSTRACT Two new species of Syscia and one new species of Ooceraea (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) are described from Sabah, Borneo, East Malaysia. The queens available for two species of Syscia, and the male of one Syscia species are described. The brachypterous queen of S. yekzoeae has large eyes, a complete set of ocelli, a normal female thorax, and vestigial wings with no closed cell. This represents the first record of a brachypterous Syscia queen from the Old World. A short note on the behavi...

Summary Two new species of tropical blueberry from central Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, are described and illustrated. Vaccinium madanii resembles V. clementis but is distinct by the presence of glands along the leaf blade margin, a longer inflorescence, longer pedicels, a pubescent hypanthium, and anther spurs longer than the tubules. Vaccinium maliauense resembles V. phillyreoides but is distinct by the absence of glands on the leaf blade base, a cuneate leaf blade base, non-dimorphic filaments...

Abstract A new species of stick insect, Lonchodes robertongi n.sp., is described and illustrated from Kawag Gibong Forest Reserve, Lahad Datu, Sabah. The female has an elongated lamina supraanalis similar to that of Lonchodes everetti (Kirby, 1896) but they are easily distinguished by the eggs and males. A distribution map is provided for the species of Lonchodes which have an elongated lamina supraanalis (11th abdominal tergite). Keywords: Borneo, distribution, Kawag Gibong, Lonchodes eve...
