The riffle beetle genus Hexanchorus Sharp is, with 25 known species, the most speciose genus of the subfamily Larainae in the Neotropics and the second largest globally. An analysis of its phylogeny, based on two mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and two nuclear (18S, 28S) markers, including Hexanchorus-like, but morphologically distinct specimens, supported presence of an unknown genus. The new genus, Rumilara gen. nov., is described here with four new species (R. obscura sp. nov., R. paterna sp. nov., R. riberai sp. nov., R. suppressa sp. nov.) and their larvae. The separate position of the new genus is, beside molecular differences, well substantiated by the morphology of adults (the absence of sexual dimorphism, structure of the pronotum) and larvae (pleurites never reaching to sixth abdominal ventrite). H. sagittatus stat. nov. is elevated to species rank based on molecular data, and Rumilara leleupi (Del\ève) comb. nov. is transferred from the genus Hexanchorus and redescribed, based on its morphology.

We provide a review of species of the genus Dryopomorphus Hinton, 1936 occurring in Malaysia. Three known species: D. bishopi Hinton, 1971; D. satoi Spangler, 1985 and D. hendrichi\ {\v C}iampor Jr \& Kodada, 2006 are diagnosed and five new species from the Malay Peninsula and Borneo are described here: D. grandis, D. jaechi, D. memei, D. pekariki and D. sarawacensis. Habitus photographs, drawings of genitalia and diagnostic characters of all species are included.

A new species, Hedyselmis belatani sp. nov., is described from West Malaysia, based on morphological characters. The description includes detailed drawings of the most important structures. Four fragments of DNA, three mitochondrial (cox1, cob, rrnL) and one nuclear (SSU), were sequenced and compared with H. opis Hinton and other elmid species. The taxonomic position of H. belatani sp. nov., its distribution and the phylogeny of the genus are discussed.
