Japanese species of the genus Zaitzevia are revised taxonomically. Nine species including one new species, Zaitzevia wakayamana sp. nov. from Honshu (Wakayama Pref.) are recognized in Japanese fauna. All the species are described or redescribed with figures of habitus, elytra, elytral epipleura and male genitalia. Endophallic structures of seven species are described. A key to Japanese species is also given.

A new riffle beetle, Zunielmis pax gen. et sp. nov. , is described from Colombia (Vichada, Puerto Carre\ño, Bita River basin). It can be distinguished from all the other elmids by having large areas of a microgranular mesh (plastron) on the pronotum and elytra, crenulate lateral margin of the latter two, the shorter interocular distance than diameter of each eye, as well as by the characters of the structure of mandibles, the shape and sculpture of pronotum, and the structure ofmesosternum,mesotibiae and elytra. The imagoes were collected on freshwater sponges. The habitat, where the new species was found, is described, and the adaptive meaning of the characteristics of plastron are discussed. Drawings and photographs of the adult habitus, distinctive morphological characters, and male and female genitalia are provided.
