A New Species

We describe a new species of Ololygon from the Cerrado biome, Central Brazil. The new species is assigned to the Ololygon catharinae species group based in morphological attributes. Ololygon goya sp. nov. in known only from type locality—Sítio d’Abadia municipality, State of Goiás—and associated with riparian environments connected to seasonal dry forest on the banks of the Corrente river, a tributary of the Paranã river basin. The new species is characterized by the combination of the following characters: medium size (24.4–38.8 mm SVL); snout subovoid in dorsal view; canthus rostralis well defined; males with hypertrophied forearms and nuptial pads; inguinal region and hidden surfaces of thigh with irregular dark brown spots on pale yellowish background. We also describe the external morphology and oral morphology of tadpoles, and the advertisement calls of the new species.

Priogymnanthus colombianus, a new species and the first record of the South American genus of Oleaceae for Colombia is described and illustrated also we present a dichotomic key for the known species of genus. The new species differs from the three knowns for Priogymnanthus by: leaves oblong or oblong-elliptic, completely glabrous, petioles 10–17 (19) mm; inflorescences 15–20 (25) mm in length, with glabrous rachis, anthers about 3 mm length; fruits (10) 12–15 mm in diameter. P. colombianus occurs on premontane and dry forest in Colombia between 719 and 1213 m of elevation. Based on general threats to its ecosystems and few records found, we categorize the species as EN (endangered) following IUCN criteria.

Otatea is the most diverse genus of Guaduinae in Mexico, with 10 described species mostly inhabiting tropical dry forest. Here, with the description of Otatea nayeeri, the number of species increases to 11. Morphologically, O. nayeeri is similar to O. reynosoana and O. transvolcanica but differs in having thin-papery and deciduous culm leaves, oral setae absent in culm leaves, developing erect and reflexed culm leaf blades, three subequal branches per node and smaller foliage leaf blades without fimbriae. A comparative table of vegetative characters, an illustration and photographs are also provided.

A New Species

Background and Aims: Bactrospora is a genus of crustose lichens characterized by its black, verrucose to denticulate and little apothecia, and mostly acicular, or sometimes muriform spores, longer than wide. The genus is represented by 38 accepted species. The aim of this work is to describe Bactrospora totonacae, a new species from the tropical dry forest of Veracruz, Mexico. Methods: The specimens were collected on the “Cerro de los Metates” in the municipality of Actopan, Veracruz, Mexico. Macrochemical tests, UV reaction, and a thin layer chromatography were performed; likewise, the presence of amyloid substances distributed in the thallus and ascomata was verified with Lugol’s solution. The voucher is deposited in the herbarium XALU of the Facultad de Biología of the Universidad Veracruzana. Key results: The new species Bactrospora totonacae is characterized by the pruine K+ reddish magenta in its disc. Conclusions: The described species is unique in Bactrospora because the combination of pruine K+ reddish magenta and a thick carbonized exciple has never been reported in this genus.

The gyne of Oxyepoecus browni Albuquerque & Brandão, 2004, collected in the same leaf litter ant survey, is also described. In addition, we present new records for Oxyepoecus species in Northeastern Brazil.

Described and illustrated is Warneckea albiflora R.D. Stone & N.P. Tenza, another localized endemic of coastal dry forest near Quiterajo in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Province. In Flora Zambesiaca the new species would key to Memecylon sansibaricum Taub. [≡Warneckea sansibarica (Taub.) Jacq.-Fél.], but is distinguished by its elliptic-lanceolate, attenuate–acuminate leaves and white flowers borne on pedicels 3.5–4 mm long (versus leaves elliptic and rounded to shortly and obtusely acuminate, pedicels 6–15 mm long, and flowers pale blue to deep blue in Warneckea  sansibarica). Because of its evidently very limited occurrence as well as on-going anthropogenic threats, Warneckea albiflora is provisionally assessed as Critically Endangered (CR) B1ab(iii) according to IUCN criteria. A key is provided to the Mozambican species of Warneckea.

We describe Croton calcareus Riina & Mateo-Ram. sp. nov., a new species in Croton section Cyclostigma (dragon’s blood trees) from the state of Chiapas (Mexico). This species is a small tree growing in dry forest on calcareous substrates. Both morphological and molecular data support C. calcareus sp. nov. as a new species closely related to C. redolens, another dry forest taxon from northern Venezuela. We provide illustrations, a distribution map and suggestions for species conservation status. The new species along with Croton draco are the only known representatives of C. section Cyclostigma occurring in Mexico.
