AbstractBased on collections gathered by H. Streimann and J. A. Elix in Papua New Guinea, Australia (including Tasmania), and Vanuatu, five new foliicolous lichen species are described: Calenia bullatinoides Lücking, Eremothecella cyaneoides Lücking, Fellhanera tasmanica Lücking & Elix, Fellhaneropsis australiana Lücking, and Porina vanuatuensis Lücking. In addition, the following new combinations are proposed: Coenogonium isidiiferum (Lücking) Lücking [Bas.: Dimerella isidiifera Lücking], Coenogonium lisowskii (Vězda) Lücking [Bas.: Dimerella lisowskii Vězda], Coenogonium queenslandicum (Kalb & Vězda) Lücking [Bas.: Dimerella queenslandica Kalb & Vězda], Echinoplaca tetrapla (Zahlbr.) Lücking [Bas.: Gonolecania tetrapla Zahlbr.], and Porina subepiphylla var. australiensis (Lücking & Vězda) Lücking [Bas.: Porina lucida var. australiensis Lücking & Vězda]. Coenogonium piliferum (Vězda) Kalb & Lěcking [Bas.: Dimerella pilifera Vě zda] is placed into synonymy with Coenogonium epiphyllum Vain. An updated checklist of foliicolous lichens from Australia includes 202 species and excludes five previously reported taxa.

Australasian Region

The genera of microgastrine braconid wasps present in the Australasian region (defined as Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, New Guinea, Solomon Is, Fiji Is, Samoan Is, Cook Is, but not French Polynesia) are reviewed. An illustrated key to genera, comments on their taxonomy, and information on the distribution and host relationships of species are provided. Following examination of holotypes, the generic placement of all species recorded from the region is reassessed since a recent generic reclassification of the subfamily left most of the Australasian species incorrectly placed. Parapanteles Ashmead (N.T.), Fornicia Brullé (Qld) and Deuterixys Mason (Qld) are recorded from Australasia for the first time, while Buluka De Seager, Parenion Nixon, Snellenius Westwood and Wilkinsonellus Mason, previously known from Australasia, are recorded from mainland Australia for the first time. The genus Austrocotesia is described as new [with A. exigua, sp. nov. (Papua New Guinea) as the type species], along with the following 14 species: Austrocotesia delicata, sp. nov. (Papua New Guinea, Qld), A. paradoxa, sp. nov. (Papua New Guinea), Buluka collessi, sp. nov. (Qld), Deuterixys anica, sp. nov. (Vic., N.S. W., Qld), Fornicia commoni, sp. nov. (Qld), Glyptapanteles deliasa, sp. nov. (S.A.), Microgaster nixoni, sp. nov. (Tas., N.S.W.), Parapanteles masoni, sp. nov. (N.T.), Parenion beelaronga, sp. nov. (Qld), P. bootha, sp. nov. (Qld), Sathon albicoxa, sp. nov. (Tas., Vic., N.S.W.), S. naryciae, sp. nov. (Vic.), Wilkinsonellus amplus, sp. nov. (Qld, N.T.) and W. tomi, sp. nov. (Papua New Guinea, New Britain, Qld). Glyptapanteles guyanensis (Cameron), comb. nov. is excluded from the Australasian fauna; the name Glyptapanteles fullawayi, nom. nov. (Samoa) is proposed for Apanteles opercuiinae var. polita Fullaway; lectotypes are designated for Cotesia deliadis (Bingham), comb. nov. (Qld), C. philoeampa (Cameron), comb. nov. (N.S.W) and C. rufiventris (Bingham), comb. nov. (Qld); Glyptapanteles operculinae (Fullaway), comb. nov. (Samoa), Microgaster kuchingensis Wilkinson (Papua New Guinea) and Sathon moratus (Wilkinson), comb. nov. (Vic., S.A., W.A.) are redescribed; and 41 additional new combinations are proposed.

The genus Marsdenia R.Br. is circumscribed utilising data from taxonomic history and morphology. and its relationship to other genera in the Marsdenieae is discussed. Genera that have usually been or commonly regarded as distinct. i.e. Gymnenla R.Br., Leichardtia R.Br., Bidaria (Endl.) Decne. and Thozetia F . Muell . ex Benth., are discussed and considered congeneric with Marsdenia. A revision of the Australian and Papuasian (Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands) taxa of Marsdenia is presented and 78 species (one with two subspecies) and one putative interspecific hybrid are recognised. Forty-six taxa are accepted as new, namely Marsdenia ambuntiensis, M. archboldiana, M. argillicola, M . arfakensis, M. Belensis, bilobata, bliriensis, M. Brassii, M. Brevis, M. Brunnea, M. carrii, M. connivens, M. cremea, M. destituta, M. dischidioides, M. divisicola, M. egregia, M. jlavida, M. globosa, M. grandis, M. graniticola, M. hamata, M. kebarensis, M. lacicola, M. longipedicellata, M. millariae, M. mira, M. paludicola, M. papillosa, M. parva, M. poioensis, M. primulina, M. pumila, M. quadrata, M. rara, M. spathulata, M. straminea, M. subglobosa, M. torsiva, M. trilobata, M. tumida, M. urniflora, M. variabilis, M. venusta, M. viridiflora subsp. tropica and M. volcanica. A new name, M. angustata, is provided to replace Bidaria erecta F.Muell. New combinations made are M. brevifolia (Gymnema brevifolium Benth.), M. geminata (Gymnema geminata R.Br.), M. micradenia (Gymnema micradenium Benth.), M. muelleri (Gymnema muelleri Benth.), M. pleiadenia (Gymnema pleiadenia F.Muell.), M. rivularis (Gymnema rivular Schltr.), M. suborbicularis (Gymnema suborbiculare KSchum.), M. tricholepis (Gymnema tricholepis Schltr.) and M. trinewis (Gymnema triverve R.Br.). Lectotypes are chosen for a number of names. A putative hybrid is recorded between M. viridiflora subsp. viridiflora and M. microlepis. Separate keys to the Australian and Papuasian species of Marsdenia are given. Separate keys to the Australian and Papuasian genera of Asclepiadaceae are given.* Christensen research Institute Contribution No . 114.

Three New Species

AbstractComposition, systematics, distribution and bionomics of the poorly known primarily Oriental genus Anchocerus Fauvel, 1905 is reviewed, with an annotated list and identification key provided for all 13 named species of the genus. The poorly known species from Papua New Guinea, A. punctus Last, 1980, A. similis Last, 1980 and A. wilhelmensis Last, 1980 are redescribed. Three new species, A. aparamerus sp.n. from Borneo, A. grandis sp.n. and A. thailandicus sp.n., both from Thailand are described. One species is transferred to Anchocerus from the genus Acylophorus Nordmann, 1837: Anchocerus tenuipes (Lea, 1929) comb. n., and also redescribed. Two species of Anchocerus are moved to Acylophorus: Acylophorus novaguinensis (Last, 1975) comb. n. and Acylophorus okasaensis (Last, 1975) comb. n. Morphological characters distinguishing the genera Anchocerus and Acylophorus are summarized. Type material was examined for all insufficiently known species.

New Guinea is one of the centres of diversity of Benstonea (Pandanaceae), a genus distributed from India to Fiji. Ten species were previously recognised on this island and further field observations, accompanied by the study of available herbarium material have brought new insights into species delimitations within a group of caespitose species with a solitary terminal infructescence. The taxonomical identity of Benstonea odoardoi is elucidated and is considered here as a synonym of Benstonea lauterbachii. Three new combinations and a new name—based on names of Pandanus species previously treated as synonyms of Benstonea odoardoi—are proposed for four distinct species belonging to this group of caespitose species and restricted to Indonesian New Guinea and Papua New Guinea. Finally, Pandanus bintuniensis is here considered as a synonym of Benstonea permicron.

Nomina Dubia

AbstractBetween 1960 and 1975, 212 names of foliicolous lichenized fungi (or believed to have such a biological status) were described or used by A. C. Batista and co-workers. A considerable number of the new names were not validly published but mentioned as nomina nuda in various papers, while a further 69 names exist only as herbarium names. A taxonomic revision demonstrates that 36 of the 38 validly described genera ( = 95%) and 56 of the 68 validly published species and varieties ( = 82%) are either synonyms of previously known taxa, or represent non-lichenized or lichenicolous fungi, or cannot be readily identified and remain nomina dubia. Most of the descriptions refer to pycnidia, particularly those of the Strigulaceae (5 genera, 8 species or varieties), the hyphophores of Gomphillaceae (6 genera, 10 species), and the genus Microtheliopsis (3 genera, 3 species), whereas campylidia of the Ectolechiaceae are under-represented. A further six, monotypic genera correspond to lichenicolous or non-lichenized fungi. The following validly described taxa remain as autonomous genera or species of foliicolous lichens: Amazonomyces Bat., a generic name taken up for two species previously placed in Stirtonia and Cryptothecia, with two new combinations: Amazonomyces sprucei (R. Sant.) Lücking, Sérus. & Thor comb. nov. [Bas.: Stirtonia sprucei R. Sant.; Syn.: Amazonomyces palmae Bat. & Cavalc], and Amazonomyces farkasiae (Lücking) Lücking, Sérus. & Thor comb. nov. [Bas.: Cryptothecia farkasiae Lücking]; Lyromma Bat. & H. Maia, a distinctive genus of the Dothideales, with two species described by Batista and co-workers, and one new combination: Lyromma palmae (Cavalc. & A. A. Silva) Lücking & Sérus. comb. nov. [Bas.: Anconomyces palmae Cavalc. & A. A. Silva]; Arthonia lecythidicola (Bat. & H. Maia) Lücking & Sérus. comb. nov. [Bas.: Ameropeltomyces lecythidicola Bat. & H. Maia]; Arthonia orbignyae (H. B. P. Upadhyay) Matzer [Bas.: Opegrapha orbignyae H. B. P. Upadhyay; Syn.: Arthonia opegraphina Lücking]; Asterothyrium aspidospermatis (Peres) Lücking & Sérus. comb, nov. [Bas.: Actinoteichus aspidospermatis Peres] and Asterothyrium pernambucense (Cavalc.) Lücking & Sérus. comb. nov. [Bas.: Actinoteichus pernambucensis Cavalc], two apomictic pycnidial forms of Asterothyrium, in addition to the reinstalled A. umbilicatum (Müll. Arg.) Müll. Arg.; Byssoloma guttiferae (Bat. & Peres) Lücking & Sérus. comb. nov. [Bas.: Crocicreomyces guttiferae Bat. & Peres; Syn.: Byssoloma aeruginascens Vězda]; Phyllobathelium leguminosae (Cavalc. & A. A. Silva) Lücking & Sérus. comb. nov. [Bas.: Septoriomyces leguminosae Cavalc. & A. A. Silva]; Tricharia couepiae (Bat.) Lücking & Sérus. comb. nov. [Bas.: Aderkomyces couepiae Bat.] and Trichothelium brasiliense J. L. Bezerra & L. Xavier. Echinoplaca amapensis Bat. & Poroca, a distinctive species with characters that suggest a placement into the Arthoniaceae, will most probably require a new genus when more material is available. One species is validated and two are described as new: Bapalmuia verrucosa Serus. & Lucking spec, nov., Enterographa batistae Lucking & Serus. spec, nov. and Opegrapha ducket Bat., J. L. Bezerra & Cavalc. ex Lucking & Serus.
