The Southeast Asian whirligig beetle genus PorrorhynchusLaporte, 1835 is revised. The genus is composed of five species, P. depressus Régimbart, 1892, P. indicans (Walker, 1858), P. landaisi Régimbart, 1892, P. marginatusLaporte, 1835, and P. misoolensis (Ochs, 1955), new status, and two subgenera, Porrorhynchus s. str. and RhomborhynchusOchs, 1926.

Two new species of the scydmaenine genus SyndicusMotschulsky, 1851, Syndicus (s. str.) qiong Yin and Zhou, new species and Syndicus (s. str.) philippinus Yin and Zhou, new species, are described from southern China and the Philippines, respectively.

Material from Sichuan, previously published as S. sinensis, represents a different species, described here as Syndicus (Semisyndicus) sichuanicus Yin and Zhou, new species. Additional collecting data are given for Syndicus (s. str.) jaloszynskiiYin and Song, 2014 and Syndicus (Semisyndicus) hainanicusYin and Li, 2015 in China, and Syndicus (s. str.) difficilisJałoszyński, 2004 in Thailand.
Two newly described species of the West Indian genus Xerolinus Ivie and Hart provide new island records for the genus and extend the previously known range of the genus to the south and east. Xerolinus swearingenae Hart and Ivie, new species, is described from Jamaica, whereas Xerolinus camanoensis Hart and Ivie, new species, is described from the Virgin Islands (Great Camanoe).
Altica sylvia Malloch, 1919 and Mantura chrysanthemi (Koch, 1803) co-inhabit natural and commercial stands of lowbush blueberry, Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton (Ericaceae), in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. Whereas A. sylvia feeds on lowbush blueberry plants, an important crop to the region, M. chrysanthemi feeds on sheep sorrel, Rumex acetosella L. (Polygonaceae), an important weed frequently found in lowbush blueberry fields. This study provides a detailed morphological examination of males and females of these flea beetles to compare species and sex-specific features. Scanning electron microscopy identified key distinguishing features, including internal and external sexual dimorphism of both species.
