TL;DR: Seven new species of the Stenus cirrus group collected from Guangxi, South China are described and illustrated and the diagnostic characters of the new species are illustrated.
Abstract: Seven new species of the Stenus cirrus group collected from Guangxi, South China are described and illustrated: S. hujiayaoi Liu and Tang, sp. n., S. bullatus Liu and Tang, sp. n., S. exesus Liu and Tang, sp. n., S. damingshanus Liu and Tang, sp. n., S. jinxiuensis Liu and Tang, sp. n., S. lianhuashanus Liu and Tang, sp. n., S. hechiensis Liu and Tang, sp. n. The diagnostic characters of the new species are illustrated, and a key to species of the group from Guangxi is provided.

TL;DR: The canaliculatus species group of Stenus ( Nestus ) is redefined and four new Palaearctic species of the group are described and illustrated and the monotypic melanopus species group is erected.
Abstract: The canaliculatus species group of Stenus ( Nestus ) is redefined Four new Palaearctic species of the group are described and illustrated: S ( N ) alopex sp nov from the Putorana Highland and Taymyr Peninsula, Russia; S ( N ) canalis sp nov from SE Siberia and the Russian Far East; S ( N ) canosus sp nov from the Narat Mt Ridge, Chinese Tien Shan; S ( N ) delitor sp nov from C & SE Siberia New distributional data as well as brief analyses of old records for fourteen species described earlier are provided from both Palaearctic and Nearctic material S ( N ) milleporus Casey, 1884 (= s ectilifer Casey, 1884) is revalidated as a species propria S ( N ) sphaerops Casey, 1884 is redescribed; its aedeagus is figured for the first time; the aedeagus of S ( N ) caseyi Puthz, 1972 as well as aedeagi of eight previously described Palaearctic species are illustrated anew A key for the identification of all the known Palaearctic species of the group is given A morphology and ecology based analysis of the main evolutionary trends within the group is provided A lectotype is designated for S ( N ) melanopus Marsham, 1802; its Siberian and NE European records are supposed to be erroneous; the monotypic melanopus species group is erected

TL;DR: The behaviour of the beetle Stenus comma hunting three species of springtails was investigated, and attacks using the labium were less successful when the springtail was large or was covered in scales or setae, as the prey item was more likely to become detached from the sticky tip of thelabium.
