The section contains the following collections:
- Ephemeroptera: I. Müller-Liebenau (in particular Baetidae)
- Odonata: A. Bilek (partim), G.v.Rosen (world wide), R. Seidenbusch (Palaearctics), W. Forster (Bolivien), S. Lorenzoni (South America, South Africa)
- Trichoptera: K. Kusdas (Palaearctics), H. Burmeister (Palaearctics, Neotropis), F. Klima (Palaearctics)
- Planipennia: K. Kusdas (mainly Palaearctics), P. Ohm (mainly Ethiopian Region)
- Blattaria: H. Bohn (Palaearctics)
