Hyponephele Muschamp, 1915 is a Palaearctic genus comprising 39 species (Eckweiler, Bozano, 2011), with most distributed in the Central Asiatic region. During the course of faunistic studies on the butterflies of Tajikistan, a new member of this genus was found; it is described herein as new. It is closely related and sympatric to H. hilaris (Staudinger, 1886) so compared to this one.

Our efforts to develop a scalable and divergent synthesis of cyclic di-nucleotide analog precursors have resulted in (1) an orthogonally protected di-amino carbohydrate as well as (2) the novel application of the Staudinger ligation to provide medium-sized macrocycles featuring carbamate or urea linkages.

A small Central Asian Noctuidae genus Palaeagrotis Hampson, 1907 is revised. One new species, P. adrienneae Volynkin, Gyulai & Behounek, sp. n. is described from South Mongolia. The lectotypes of Hadena inops Lederer, 1853 and Heterographa sibirica Staudinger, 1896 are designated. The adults, and the male and female genitalia are illustrated.

A new species of the Bryophila (Scythobrya) salomonis species-group, B. kaszabi sp. n. is described. A diagnostic comparison is made with B. miltophaea Hampson, 1908 and B. plumbeola Staudinger, 1881. Adults, male and female genitalia of the new and related species are illustrated.

The Staudinger Ligation has been combined with Polymer Pen Lithography to create patterns of fluorescent and redox-active inks with 1-micrometer scale feature diameters over centimeter-scale areas. This report presents a straightforward strategy to expand the scope of organic reactions employed in surface science.

N2 the mild: Diazo compounds are extremely versatile intermediates for synthetic organic chemistry, but their synthesis can be challenging in the presence of delicate functional groups. The Staudinger ligation has inspired a mild method for the conversion of a broad range of azides into their diazo compound derivatives through an acyl triazene intermediate.
