“…Information reflected in the distribution maps was obtained from the locality data of the material examined in this study, the original descriptions of all the species, and the works of Wolcott (1947), Corporaal (1950), Papp (1960), Barr (1975), Rifkind (1996), Leavengood (2008), and Burke et al (2015).…”

The New World checkered beetle genus Callotillus Wolcott, 1911 is revised and the new genus Neocallotillus established. The subspecies Callotillus elegans vafer Wolcott is synonymized with the nominal subspecies, Callotillus elegans elegans (Erichson), which is transferred to, and designated as the type species of Neocallotillus gen. n. as Neocallotillus elegans (Erichson, 1847), comb. n. Two additional species are transferred from Callotillus to the new genus: Neocallotillus intricatus (Wolcott & Dybas, 1947), comb. n. and Neocallotillus crusoe (Wolcott, 1923), comb. n., the latter tentatively and based on Wolcott’s original description. Callotillus is now composed of two species: Callotillus eburneocinctus Wolcott, 1911 and Callotillus bahamensis Vaurie, 1952. All abovementioned species except Neocallotillus crusoe are diagnosed and redescribed. In the absence of reference material of Neocallotillus crusoe, Wolcott’s original description is transcribed. An illustrated key to species is provided. Characters of taxonomic relevance are illustrated and discussed. Updated distribution maps and locality data for all specimens examined are presented.

“…The insect was most probably entered to Iraq from neighboring countries with infected plants. The literature showed that C. herbacea (Duftschmid,1825) is commonly known as The mint leaf Beetle or Green Mint Beetle (2,3,4). It is an aggressive invasive species that is native to the European region and originally described from Austria by Duftschmid in 1825 (5,6,7).…”

The insect is diagnosed and named by the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI), USA as the Mint leaf Beetle Chrysolina herbacea alnadawi (Duftschmid, 1825), (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The diagnosis was performed depending on the DNA analysis by 73% similarity with Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmid, 1825) sequence, In the present study. It is recorded as a new insect pest on mint plant Mentha puleguim (L,1753) (Lamiaceae). DNA analysis confirmend that it is recorded for the first time in Iraq and the Arab world as well as the Middle East. Those insects were observed initially during August 2017 in residential gardens of Al-Bonooq district in Baghdad / Iraq.

The new genus Tarsobaenus and three new species—Tarsobaenus letourneauae, T. piper and T. hansoni—are described from Costa Rica. Tarsobaenus is distinguished by the broad, subulate form of the plical excavation along the elytral suture, the lower margin of which is modified into a broad flattened flange; serrulate apical elytral margins; and the conspicuously large, shiny body. Two of the species are associates of Piper plants and their pharaoh ant symbionts. We provide a key to the three species of Tarsobaenus.
