The genus Portelmis Sanderson, 1953 and the species P. gurneyi Spangler, 1980 are reported for the first time in Brazil. Portelmis kinonatilis sp. nov. and P. paulicruzi sp. nov. are described and illustrated based on adult specimens collected in two different municipalities in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Diagnoses and illustrations of all Portelmis species, and a taxonomic key to identify males are presented.

Two new species of the genus Cuspidevia J\äch \& Boukal, 1995 (Macronychini) are reported from Jiangxi Province,
China: Cuspidevia brevis sp. nov., Cuspidevia jaechi sp. nov. Descriptions, diagnoses, illustrations and a key to

Hintonelmis anamariae sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on adult specimens collected in Presidente Figueiredo Municipality, Amazonas State, Brazil. This species can be distinguished from all other known Hintonelmis species by its dorsal color pattern and the morphology of the male genitalia.

Two mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase subunit I, 16S RNA) and one nuclear (18S RNA) gene fragments were used to analyse relationships within the Oulimnius tuberculatus species group. The results of molecular data analysis are compared with morphological characters, and the distributional patterns and taxonomic status of recognized taxa are addressed. Based on molecular data, Oulimnius perezi is re-validated as a distinct species, and the discovery of a possible new species from northwest Italy is reported. The possible origins and times of speciation within the species group are discussed.
