New populations of the Critically Endangered anuran species Alsodes vanzolinii (Donoso-Barros 1974) were discovered during two field surveys at Nahuelbuta Range, Biobío region, southern Chile. Adult specimens have not been reported since the original description of the species heretofore. The new records provided herein extend the latitudinal limit of what was previously thought to be the only population of the species 40 km to the southwest, and the altitudinal limit from 25 m a.s.l. to 700 m a.s.l.

The mystacocarid Ctenocheilocaris galvarini is a member of the intertidal meiofauna in exposed sandy beaches along the coast of Chile. Originally described by Dahl (1952) from sub-tidal sediment off Isla Guafo, the only other published record is from semi-fine intertidal sand in Las Cruces. This paper presents a variety of new records of C. galvarini based on both quantitative and qualitative sampling of the coast of Chile between 18°S and 54°S. Ctenocheilocaris galvarini is found primarily in southern Chile, south of 32°, in the intertidal zone of intermediate beaches, in fine sand (Wentworth scale) most likely distributed between the level of the water-table and the surface, but avoiding dry sand.

Ectoparasite Fauna

Abstract Despite being a bird with a broad and extensive distribution in Chile, the black-chinned siskin, Spinus barbatus Molina, 1782 is not well studied in relation to its parasites. This paper aims to describe the ectoparasite fauna of S. barbatus in central and southern Chile. A total of 125 individuals caught with mist nets were examined alive; a total of 22 parasites were found dead and were exposed to parasit autopsy. The extracted parasites were preserved in 70% alcohol for subsequent mounting and identification. Ectoparasites were found in 56 black-chinned siskins (38%); 48 of them (33%) had 870 mites – 680 feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea) were identified as Proctophyllodes spini, 167 as Knemidokoptes jamaicensis, 19 as Strelkoviacarus critesi, and one as Analges passerinus. Moreover, three mites were chiggers belonging to the tribe Schoengastiini (Prostigmata: Trombiculidae). In 21 birds (14%), 54 lice were found, 21 of which were identified as Philopterus roehreri, 18 as Myrsidea serini, and 15 as Ricinus carolynae. Endoparasites were not found in the necropsied individuals. All of the parasites that were found represent new records for Chile, and they also serve as new records of host–parasite associations for S. barbatus.

As part of long term studies focused in the lichenized mycobiota diversity from southern Argentina, two species of the family Lobariaceae (Peltigerales), Pseudocyphellaria pluvialis and Sticta longipes, are registered for the first time in Argentina. These species were previously reported as endemic from southern Chile. Brief descriptions, illustrations and information about the distribution and ecology of the species are provided.

In addition, Grimmia plagiopodia Hedw., which was previosly known from Southern Chile, is reported ca. 3500 km more to the north, near the Bolivian border.

Cold Water Species

Fifteen species of wood-inhabiting marine fungi recovered from intertidal wood collected in southern Chile (lat. 43°–55° S), eight Ascomycetes and seven Fungi Imperfecti, are new records for the cold temperate zone of the southern hemisphere. Three of the Ascomycete species were previously reported south of the equator from Australia and one of the Fungi Imperfecti is known from southern Brazil. Monodictys pelagica (Johnson) Jones was the most frequently collected species. The species composition of the Chilean collection is strikingly similar to the species composition of the intertidal lignicolous mycoflora of northern cold temperate waters. A distributional bipolarity is suggested for this group of "cold water" species. A review of lignicolous and algicolous marine fungi reported for the southern hemisphere is included.

A New Species

We redescribe and illustrate Halcurias pilatus McMurrich, 1893 and H. mcmurrichi Uchida, 2004 (Endocoelantheae, Halcuriidae) from newly collected specimens from Southern Chile and deep-water reefs off Florida, respectively. Halcurias pilatus was previously considered to have a disjunct distribution until Uchida (2004) described a new species for the material from the Bahamas. However, the description of H. mcmurrichi does not meet modern taxonomic standards. We provide new anatomical and cnidae data for H. pilatus and H. mcmurrichi. Both species differ in the distribution and cnidom of nematocyst batteries in the column, development of microcnemes mesenteries, cnidae and geographical distribution. We find that H. pilatus can have a weak mesogleal marginal sphincter and amend accordingly the diagnoses of the genus Halcurias, family Halcuriidae, and suborder Endocoelantheae. These new records represent the first time both species have been collected since their original descriptions.

We present a bryophyte checklist for Madre de Dios Archipelago, located in western Magallanes Region, southern Chile. Madre de Dios is one of the most unique limestone massifs on Earth, and together with Diego de Almagro Island (150 km southward), they are the most extensive of such existing areas in Chile. It is located in the western margins of the southern archipelago region, between Puerto Edén and Puerto Natales. As a result of this first bryophyte collecting effort in calcareous environments in Chile, a total of 152 bryophyte taxa are reported, including two hornworts, 80 liverworts, and 70 moss taxa. From this total, 14 are new records for Magallanes Region and 25 for Última Esperanza Province. Eleven species extend their southern distribution limit, whereas two extend their northern distribution limit. Among the new regional records, we found the rare Vesiculariopsis spirifolium (Dusén) Broth., for which only three previous collections were known, obtaining additional ecological data. Additionally, the only southern South American representative of the tropical family Pleuroziaceae, Pleurozia paradoxa (J.B.Jack) Schiffn. was abundantly found among sandstone tundra. Both sandstone and limestone environments were prospected, the latter alone being inhabited by 100 bryophyte taxa. A liverwort-moss proportion pattern related to a calcareous substrata exposure gradient is discussed, and the most frequent species of the different environments of the islands are characterized. For most bryophytes reported here, these new records fill an important distribution gap in a scarcely explored area.
