A New Species

Gammaropsis elvirae sp. nov. is described and illustrated here, as a new species of the family Photidae Boeck, 1871, occurring on sites widely distributed in the soft-sediment habitats from the Yucatan shelf, southern Gulf of Mexico. This new species differs from all other congeners by a unique set of characteristics: lateral cephalic lobes rounded; outer lobes of lower lip with one cone on each lobe; gnathopod 1 propodus longer than carpus; gnathopod 2 propodus enlarged with small convoluted processes on posterior margin and palmar angle undefined; gnathopod 2 dactylus short, less than one half in length of propodus; dense setation on basis, carpus, and propodus of gnathopod 2; epimeral plates 1–3 rounded; inner ramus of uropods 1–3 longer than outer ramus; and telson emarginated. Ecological comments on spatial distribution and associated environmental variables are included, as well an identification key to the genus in tropical America.

A New Species

A new species, Stropharia acanthostipitata, is here described from the Dominican Republic and French Guiana based on morphological and molecular ITS/LSU analyses. It is distinguished by a dry, smooth and hygrophanous pileus with minute and fugacious velar remnants at the pileus margin, exannulate stipe, brown lamellae, presence of chrysocystidia on both edge and face of lamellae, and the occurrence of acanthocytes all over the stipe surface.

A New Species

A distinct new species of orchid bee, Euglossa paisa Ramírez n. sp., is here described. Various morphological characters suggest that this new taxon belongs to the subgenus Glossurella, a group composed of 21 species whose members occur throughout low and mid elevation tropical America. E. paisa n. sp. is morphologically closest to E. oleolucens Dressler, a species endemic to the montane region of southern Costa Rica, and these two to E. fuscifrons Dressler, a species endemic to the lowland wet forests of the northwest Amazon Basin. E. paisa is endemic to the Cordillera Central of Colombia, a region of elevated diversity and profuse endemism.

A New Species

Fuscoporia caymanensis sp. nov. is described from tropical America. It is characterized by perennial, extensive, resupinate to indistinctly effused-reflexed basidiomata; a very thin to almost absent subiculum; multi-layered tubes with a black line between each layer; a dimitic hyphal system with skeletal hyphae occasionally septate; absence of mycelial setae and cystidioles; abundant hymenial setae, 40–55 × 5–7 μm; urniform basidia, and cylindrical basidiospores 4.5–5 × 2–2.4 µm. It was found growing on fallen rotten angiosperm trunks in tropical America. Phylogenetically, it is related to Fuscoporia viticola and F. palomari, but the latter two species have longer basidiospores (7–9 × 1.5–2 µm in F. viticola and 8–10 × 2.7–3.5 μm in F. palomari), and occur in temperate regions.

AbstractToday, the marine gastropod genus Cittarium is present only in the West Indies faunas, represented by a single species C. pica, also known from the Pleistocene of Bermuda. Herein Cittarium praepica n. sp. is described from the Upper Miocene Cercado Formation of the Dominican Republic. This is the oldest fossil record for the genus in the eastern Tropical America. The new species is compared to the Pleistocene to Recent Caribbean C. pica and to C. maestratii Lozouet, 2002 of the Upper Oligocene of France. The importance of this new record for the geological history and the biogeography of the genus are discussed.
