Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

The Paraguay Belt is composed by sediments deposited due to extensional events followed by inversion with deformation and magmatism and lastly collision of the Amazonian Craton and Paranapanema Block. The marine sedimentation, with Neoproterozoic ages, should have occurred in a continental shelf region, at about 800-550 Ma, when the closing of many oceans gave place to the amalgamation of the Gondwana supercontinent. Three areas were selected for this study which configuration define the perpendicular profile of the Paraguay Belt and allow the characterization of the main regional structures.The structural analysis in the sites here reported and surrounding areas allow suggesting that three deformational events are recorded in the rocks of this region. The sedimentary bedding S0, marked by alternations of dark gray and whitish coloration in the seritic phyllites is folded and the axial plane (Sn) is marked by a cleavage of ardosian. These surfaces are cut by two other deformations, Sn + 1 surface that plunges at high angles to SE as fracture cleavage and Sn + 2 that is orthogonal to the previous deformations and has NW-SE direction with vertical dips, where sometimes occurs quartz veins with high gold content. The Paraguay Belt fan geometry observed in the Sn foliation was developed during the closing of a Brazilian ocean that evolved between the Paranapanema Block and the Amazonian Craton. ResumoO Cinturão Paraguai é composto por sedimentos depositados durante eventos extencionais  seguidos de inversão com deformação e magmatismo e, por último, colisão do Craton Amazônico e do Bloco Paranapanema. A sedimentação marinha, com idades Neoproterozóicas, ocorreu  em uma região de plataforma continental, entre 800-550 Ma, quando o fechamento de muitos oceanos deu lugar à fusão do supercontinente Gondwana. Três áreas foram selecionadas para este estudo cuja configuração define um  perfil perpendicular do Cinturão do Paraguai e permite a caracterização das principais estruturas regionais.A análise estrutural nos locais aqui relatados e áreas adjacentes permite sugerir que as rochas do orógeno passou por três eventos deformacionais. O acamamento  sedimentar S0, marcado por alternâncias de coloração cinza-escura e esbranquiçada nos filitos e siltitos, é dobrado e o plano axial (Sn) é marcado por uma clivagem ardosiana. Estas superfícies são cortadas por outras duas deformações, Sn + 1 que mergulha em ângulos elevados para SE como clivagem de fratura e Sn + 2 que é ortogonal às deformações anteriores e tem direção NW-SE com mergulhos verticais, onde às vezes ocorrem veios de quartzo com alto teor de ouro. A geometria em leque  do Cinturão Paraguay observada na foliação de Sn foi desenvolvida durante o fechamento de um oceano brasileiro que evoluiu entre o Bloco Paranapanema e o Craton Amazônico.

The menaced and poorly-known waters of the Bodoquena Plateau revealed a new resident, the stunning Hypostomus froehlichi sp. n., a large-sized armored catfish, which is finally described after more than twenty years since its discovery. The Bodoquena Plateau is drained by the rio Paraguay basin, and is located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The new species differs from its congeners on the Bodoquena crystalline waters by having teeth with morphological and numerical variation in adult specimens. There is a continuous range of specimens having about 20 thick and worn teeth to specimens having about 50 thin teeth with intact crowns and lanceolate main cusps. Additional diagnostic characters are: dentaries angled more than 90 degrees, dark blotches, one plate bordering supraoccipital, moderate keel along dorsal series of plates, usually two rows of blotches per interradial membrane on dorsal, pectoral and ventral fins, and by attaining comparatively large size. Hypostomus froehlichi seems to be endemic to the area of the Bodoquena Plateau, in rivers draining to the rio Miranda. The description of the new species reveals a potential conservation flagship species as it is one of the most seen and documented fish by visitors and divers in the clear waters from the touristic, though menaced, Bonito region in Brazil.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of an acute disease that was characterized by sudden death associated with exercise that affected cattle in the region of the Araguaia River, especially in the municipality of Torixoréu, southeastern Mato Grosso, Brazil. Between August and September 2013, eighty farms in the municipality were visited and the pastures of these farms were inspected. Epidemiological questionnaires were completed from 65 farms. A plant identified as Niedenzuella stannea (N. stannea) of the Malpighiaceae family was attributed to the cause of sudden death in cattle, what causes major economic losses. Sudden death reports have occurred since 1970, when livestock was introduced into the region, and sudden death reports still occur. Outbreaks were reported to occur from May to October, but mainly during the dry season between June and August. N. stannea was identified at 41 farms and was always found in near to rivers. The most effective plant control methods included plowing the pastures and fields followed by manual application of Tordon® (Picloram and 2.4D). The administration of 5g/kg of young leaves which were collected from a farm with a sudden death history in cattle also caused sudden death in a sheep. Thus, it is concluded that the sudden death of cattle in the region of the Araguaia River is caused by the consumption of N. stannea.

The state of Mato Grosso is the 3rd largest Brazilian state, is covered with three major Brazilian biomes, including the Pantanal, Cerrado, and Amazonia. To date, 449 ant species are recorded in literature for the state. In the present work, we documented the ants sampled along a fragmented landscape, in the municipality of Juara, in the Cerrado-Amazon transition zone in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The ant species were captured with Pitfall traps installed in 20 trails with 10 traps in each (totaling 200). Our results show 151 species, belonging to 43 genera and eight subfamilies, of which 28 species were recorded for the first time in the state and five species recorded for the first time in Brazil. Most genera collected were Pheidole Westwood, 1839 (45 species) followed by Crematogaster Lund, 1831 (11 species). By highlighting species recorded for the first time in state of Mato Grosso and Brazil, we hope to encourage new discoveries and increase the general knowledge of the ant fauna of different biomes in the region.

ABSTRACT We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with influence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fly. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant flies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fly was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.
