Two New Species

Two new species of Euphorbiaceae (sensu stricto), Mallotus bicarpellatus (Acalyphoideae) and Croton nepalensis (Crotonoideae), are described from Nepal. Mallotus bicarpellatus is closely related to M. philippensis but differs in having 1 or 2 pairs of leaf glands distinctly separated from the petiole attachment, pistillate flowers with staminodes and longer pedicels, and fewer locules and stigmas. Croton nepalensis differs from C. tiglium in having leaves with truncate, subcordate or rounded base, smaller, broadly ovoid capsules, and smaller seeds. A table is provided showing how Croton nepalensis differs from other closely related species. Croton himalaicus is here regarded as a synonym of C. tiglium, though it has been treated variously as a distinct species or a synonym of C. tiglium or C. birmanicus by recent authors. Distribution maps and graphs of altitudinal distribution are given for the new species.

The Status

AbstractThe Aschistodesmini from the Solomon Island are reviewed. Besides clarifying notes on the status of the type and closely related species of Aschistodesmus, descriptive notes and illustrations of the gonopods of the Solomon species of this genus, particularly of those published by Chamberlin, 1920, under the generic name of Solomonosoma, are given. Two new species, A. spatulifer and A. tridentifer are described, and a key to the species is provided. From Rennell Island Dorcadogonus modestus gen. n., sp. n. is described.

Recent Evaluation

The cycad genus Dioon comprises 17 species from Mexico and Honduras, all of them delimited based on their morphological variation and geographic distribution. A recent evaluation of the biological variation among Dioon populations from Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico, demonstrated that the concept of the species Dioon merolae actually consists of three lineages that should be recognized as different taxa. One lineage was already described as Dioon oaxacensis, leaving the concept of Dioon merolae comprising two lineages distributed on both sides of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. However, there are conspicuous morphological differences between these two lineages. Here, we tested whether such a differentiation within the concept of Dioon merolae merits the differentiation of two different taxa. We evaluated the qualitative and morphometric variation among populations belonging to the Dioon merolae lineages, and compared it with the closely related species Dioon oaxacensis. Morphological observations and statistical tests demonstrated that the populations of southeastern Oaxaca, traditionally considered as part of Dioon merolae, represent a distinct species that we described as Dioon salas-moralesae. Identifying the diagnostic characters of this new species helps enable an understanding of the criteria that should be considered to delineate the boundaries between other cycad species.

Two new species, Sinoarinia feii Chen, gen. et sp. nov. and Pincerna vallis Chen & Wu, sp. nov., are described from western Hubei, China. The new genus Sinoarinia Chen & Wu, gen. nov. is established based on the strongly constricted penultimate whorl and the ascending last whorl. The Vietnamese species Pincerna costulosa (Bavay & Dautzenberg) is newly reported from Yunnan, China. For comparison, photographs of the shells of closely related species are provided. A key to the known species of Sinoariniagen. nov. is included.

Eupholidoptera karatolosi Mofidi-Neyestanak & Quicke from Greece and E. mirzayani Mofidi-Neyestanak & Quicke from Iran, two new species of bushcrickets (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae: Platycleidini), are described and distinguished from closely related species based on morphology. Species relationships within Eupholidoptera Maran are discussed and some species are given new assignments. A simplified illustrated identification key to the species of Eupholidoptera is provided to accommodate the new species. They are being described since they have been used to generate DNA sequence data that will be published elsewhere as part of a phylogenetic study of the tribe Platycleidini.

Two New Species

Two new species of dorylaim nematodes, Paractinolaimus spanithelus n. sp. and Paractinolaimus longidrilus n. sp., from aquatic habitats are described and illustrated. The main differential characteristics of P. spanithelus are the small number of widely spaced supplements (12), length of sperms (9–10 μm), bluntly rounded convex–conoid shape of the male tail, and the number of pairs of caudal papillae in both sexes. Paractinolaimus longidrilus is distinguishable from closely related species by the spicule length (83 μm), the heavily cuticularized lateral guiding pieces that are broadly rounded distally, the number of pairs of caudal papillae (11) in the male, and the number of submedian ventral papillae (13) in the male.

Two New Species

The present study, based on a faunistic and ecological survey of caridean shrimps from Dong’ao Island, Guangdong Province, expands the knowledge of morphology, colouration, and distribution of three species, two of which belong to genus Caridina and one belong to genus Marcrobrachium. Caridina zhujiangensis, new species is distinguished from the closely related species C. typus H. Miline Edwars,1837 by shorter rostrum and with only one ventral margin teeth, the shape of the endopod of the first male pleopod and the appendix interna arising from distal 1/3 of endopod. Macrobrachium dongaoensis, new species, can be distinguished from its congeners M. inflatum Liang & Yan, 1985 by a combination of characters which includes short rostrum, the subequal male second pereiopods, the non–inflated palm, and the longer merus. A diagnosis of three speciesmore and full description of two new species are presented.

Two apparently narrow-endemic species of Eugenia are described from the Cabo Frio Center of Plant Diversity in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Both present a limited distribution restricted to coastal areas north of Rio de Janeiro. The new species are described and compared with closely related species.  Illustrations, distribution maps and conservation status assessments are also provided. Eugenia gastropogena and Eugenia farneyi are presumably closely related to Eugenia pyriformis and Eugenia malacantha. Eugenia gastropogena can be recognized by its leaves with arched secondary veins not forming a clear marginal vein, subcordate to obtuse leaf bases, petioles 2.1–4.8 mm long, buds 3.5–4 mm long and 2 ovules per locule. E. farneyi can be recognized by having leaves with straight secondary veins that form a single marginal vein running 0.7–1.5 mm from the margin, cuneate leaf bases, petioles 4–6.4 mm long, buds 6.2–8.4 mm long, and 10–12 ovules per locule.
