Description of a new brachypterous species of Phelotrupes Jekel, 1866 from Xizang, China, with additional records of Geotrupes Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae)
Phelotrupes (s. str.) brachypterus sp. nov. is described from Zayü County, Xizang, China. The new species is notably similar to the also brachypterous species P. (s. str.) imurai (Masumoto, 1995). Diagnostic characters of the new species, including the male genitalia, are illustrated. The first provincial records of Geotrupes (s. str.) corinthius Fairmaire, 1886 from Shaanxi and Xizang, G. (Glyptogeotrupes) castanipennis (Reitter, 1887) from Xizang and G. (Glyptogeotrupes) genestieri (Boucomont, 1905) from Yunnan and Xizang are reported.

Review of the genus Rhyparus Westwood, 1845 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) in the Solomon Islands with description of two new species
A review of the genus Rhyparus Westwood, 1845 from the Solomon Islands is presented. First Solomon Islands records are presented for Rhyparus breviceps Paulian, 1984, and R. helophoroides Fairmaire, 1893. In addition, descriptions of two new species with illustrations are provided: Rhyparus guadalcanalensis Minkina, Skelley, Jákl, Král & Li, new species and Rhyparus malaitaensis Minkina, Skelley, Jákl, Král & Li, new species. A key to species of Rhyparus from the Solomon Islands is proposed.
