A New Species

We describe Dendropsophus frosti sp. nov. from lowland terra firme rainforests of the headwaters of the Amazon RiverBasin in Colombia and Peru. The new species is known from only two localities, the type locality near Leticia (Departa-mento Amazonas, Colombia, 04° 06' 24.2" S, 69° 56' 57.4" W; 103 m.a.s.l.), and the paratopotypic locality, Piedras in thePutumayo basin (Departamento Loreto, Peru, 02.79278° S, 72.91750° W; 90–170 m.a.s.l.). Maximum likelihood and par-simony analyses of 2436 aligned base pairs of the 12S and 16S rRNA genes recovered the new species as a member of D.parviceps group and sister to D. brevifrons. The new species is most closely related to D. parviceps, D. brevifrons, and D.koechlini, and it can be readily distinguished from these and all other members of the D. parviceps group by, among othercharacters, its plain dorsal light brown coloration, copper iris, plain immaculate pale yellow to white venter coloration, lack of flash marks on groin and axillae, and absence of white spots on lips.

A New Species

A new species of Humiriaceae, Vantanea maculicarpa, growing in French Guiana terra-firme forest is described and illustrated. This new species is distinguished from all other species of Vantanea by fruits covered by white lenticels, a character so far unknown in this genus. It also presents a pubescent intrastaminal disk, a feature encountered in two other Vantanea species only: it is further distinguished from V. parviflora, the morphologically most similar species, by more stamens and from V. ovicarpa by a much smaller rough endocarp with five valves. A key to the species of French Guiana and the IUCN status Least Concern (LC) are proposed.

A New Species

Pouteria kossmanniae (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae), a new species from Central Amazonia, is here described. It is known from the Manaus region, Amazonas, Brazil, and is found in non-flooded upland forests, known as terra firme. Illustrations are provided in addition to geographic distribution, with a comparison of the morphological and spectral (near-infrared) differences between P. kossmanniae and its very similar species Pouteria macrophylla, Pouteria manaosensis, and Pouteria rodriguesiana. The species is naturally common in some urban forest fragments, but since only a low number of subpopulations is known, we assign P. kossmanniae the preliminary conservation status of “Endangered”.

AbstractA new species of sandfly, Psychodopygus lainsoni, is described from specimens captured in ‘ terra firme ’ rain forest at km 46 Altamira-Itaituba on the Transamazônica highway. In many respects the male resembles those of the squamiventris group, and the female is similar to those of other groups.

During our analyses of Lycianthes exsiccates, as part of the taxonomic treatment for the Brazilian flora, a new species was discovered and is described and illustrated here. The species is compared and contextualized within the infra-generic classification of Lycianthes. Analyses of indument and trichomes were performed by stereomicroscopy (SM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The new species, Lycianthes amazonica, is recognized as an endemic species to the Brazilian Amazon, which has its habitat described as secondary formations (capoeira) of terra-firme forests. It is closely related to L. sprucei, with which shares the scandent or vine habit, flexuous branches and ferrugineous indument of glandular trichomes. However, they are distinguished by several morphological features, including trichomes morphology, a sessile inflorescence and calyx appendages of equal length; both species belong to Lycianthes. subg. Polymeris sect. Eulycianthes ser. Glanduliferae. The description of this species expands the total number of Lycianthes species to the Brazilian Amazon to six, as well as thirteen to Brazil. The affinities of Lycianthes amazonica with its related species, distribution, ecology, and conservation status are discussed. Additionally, a lectotypification of Lycianthes sprucei, a species closely related to L. amazonica, is proposed.

Phasmatocoris xavieri sp. nov. is described based on male and female adults and a last-stage nymph. The specimens were found on the walls and roof of a cave named “Gruta dos Animais” (02°03´02,64S/59°57´51,47W), a sandstone cave located in primary “terra firme” forest to the north of the city of Manaus, Amazonas State in Brazil. The individuals were about 30m from the entrance, in an aphotic zone. Adults share characteristics with the species Phasmatocoris magdalenae Wygodzinsky, P. sturmi Wygodzinsky, and P. moraballi Wygodzinsky.
