Eleven new species of the Aname pallida species-group - defined as having males with an elongate embolus and incrassate metatarsus I - are described; three previously described species are revised. Chenistonza giraulti Rainbow is newly synonymized with A, pallida Koch; A. atra (Strand) and A. distincta (Rainbow) are considered valid. The recent designation of a neotype of Dekana diversicolor Hogg is found to be invalid because of significant differences between the designated specimen and the original description, and the type locality is now considered to be in western Queensland. Biological and behavioural notes are given for some species. Species for which males have not been described are considered Aname species of unresolved infrageneric affinities. The following species of the A, pallida group are treated: A. pallida Koch, A. atra (Strand), A, barrema, sp. nov., A. blackdownensis, sp. nov., A. camara, sp. nov., A. carina, sp. nov., A. collinsorum, sp. nov., A. diversicolor (Hogg), A. distincta (Rainbow), A. humptjidoo, sp. nov., A. inimica, sp. nov., A. longitheca, sp. nov., A, robertsorum, sp. nov., A. tigrina, sp. nov., and A, warialda, sp. nov. A. kirrama Raven, 1984 is included only in the key.

AbstractNotes are given on the identity and synonymy of five species of Lepidoptera described by Linnaeus, twenty-eight by Fabricius and two by Ström. Each species dealt with is treated under the apparent valid combination; for each species reference is given to the original description. Twenty-four new species-group name synonyms are introduced and nine new combinations are established: Nemaxera betulinella (Fabr.), Argyresthia arcella (Fabr.), Depressaria depressana (Fabr.), Chrysoesthia drurella (Fabr.), Brachmia blandella (Fabr.), Acleris laterana (Fabr.), Pseudohermenias abietana (Fabr.), Epinotia abbreviana (Fab.) and Acrobasis repandana (Fabr.). During the work two neotypes, twenty-seven lectotypes and two paralectotypes have been designated and are here cited for the first time.

Sigambra grubii Müller, 1858 has been reported from many different coastal environments in Brazil and the Grand Caribbean. However, more than one species was thought to be included under this species group name. After the study of several subtle and consistent differences in specimens fitting the description S. grubii, a new Grand Caribbean species is herein recognized and described as S. hernandezisp. nov. Further, the study of other Sigambra specimens prompted the examination of type specimens of S. bassi (Hartman, 1947), and of S. wassi Pettibone, 1966 to clarify some morphological features, and three other new species are recognized and newly described: S. diazisp. nov. and S. ligneroisp. nov. from the southeastern Caribbean (Venezuela), and S. olivaisp. nov. from the northwestern Caribbean (México). Morphological features are also clarified for S. grubii by comparison with specimens from the type locality, Florianópolis, Brazil, and with type specimens of S. bassi from Florida (U.S.A.), and non-type specimens of S. wassi from Virginia (USA). A key to identify all species of Sigambra is also included.

Crustacean Species

Abstract Only eight groundwater crustacean species were known in India till the end of 20th century. Analysis of about 4000 samples collected during 2000-2016 from diverse groundwater habitats, especially in certain pockets of the deltaic belt of the Rivers Krishna and Godavari in the southeastern peninsular India, has so far yielded about 90 new crustacean taxa. Of these, 67 new species have been described formally, which include, respectively, 34, 27, 3, 2 and 1 species each of Copepoda, Bathynellacea, Amphipoda, Isopoda and Ostracoda. The updated checklist presented herein includes a total of 87 species in 45 genera, 22 families and 8 orders. For each species, the reference to its original description, type locality, distribution, and ecological notes, co-occurring fauna, if any, and sampling method(s) are given. Besides map-pointing the type localities of the species, brief notes are given on the biogeography and conservation.

Definition Of

Anomaloglossus is a species-rich genus of frogs endemic to the Guiana Shield that still harbors several unnamed species. Within the A. stepheni species group (which includes four valid nominal species), A. baeobatrachus has an uncertain taxonomic status, notably because the holotype was an unvouchered specimen depicted in a popular journal. Another member of this group, A. leopardus, was only superficially described, lacking information on the sex of specimens in the type series and on advertisement call. Therefore, these two taxa need clarifications in order to allow the description of the extant undescribed species. In this paper, we redescribe A. baeobatrachus based on newly collected material from the species type locality and provide information about its reproductive ecology. We also provide an amended definition of A. leopardus using newly collected material from its type locality. These two species form a clade along with a third species from the Eastern Guiana Shield, which is also described herein. The reproductive biology of A. baeobatrachus and A. stepheni is very similar. Both species have endotrophic and nidicolous tadpoles, despite being distantly related, suggesting independent evolution of this breeding mode. The new species and A. leopardus, on the other hand, have exotrophic tadpoles.

A New Species

Scytalopus speluncae was described from a specimen taken at São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Ménétriés described it as having the throat and the central breast evidently whitish, but since then this name has been rather surprisingly attributed to the uniformly slate gray Mouse-colored Tapaculo of the eastern coastal Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Contrary to previous findings, our analysis of the holotype, two new specimens from the type locality (topotypes) and original description of Scytalopus speluncae indicates that this name must be applied to the pale gray form with rufous-barred thighs that is found in Minas Gerais. This species is apparently very common in São João del Rei. This paper redescribes Scytalopus speluncae, correcting this name application, and describing, as a new species, populations from the Serra do Mar and vicinity, previously misidentified as S. speluncae.

Peyssonneliaceae represents a monophyletic clade of red encrusting algae classified Peyssonneliales. Molecular analyses have been important for revealing unknown diversity in this family, which includes small, cryptic organisms, frequently distinguished solely by discrete anatomical characters. Brazil however, remains virtually unknown. To assess this diversity, phylogenetic and barcoding analyses using rbcL, COI-5P and SSU data, as well as morpho-anatomical analyses were performed. Here we report the first occurrence of two genera on the Brazilian coast: Ramicrusta and Incendia, and describe three new species: Ramicrusta fujiiana sp. nov., Ramicrusta paradoxa sp. nov. and Incendia yoneshigueana sp. nov. Ramicrusta was resolved as a monophyletic clade in the three reconstructed phylogenies, and had congruent topologies. In the rbcL phylogeny, Ramicrusta fujiiana formed a well-supported clade sister to a well-supported clade including R. aranea (Vanuatu, type locality) and R. textilis (Jamaica, type locality). Morphological characters of R. paradoxa are not in agreement with the original description of the genus. Therefore, we present an updated and broader concept of Ramicrusta. Incendia was resolved as a monophyletic clade with full support for rbcL. Incendia yoneshigueana is in a sister relationship with I. glabra (Vanuatu, type locality). This study extends the distributions of Ramicrusta and Incendia, proposes three new species, and confirms the effectiveness of rbcL, COI-5P and SSU in inferring phylogenetic relationships and delimiting species in the Peyssonneliales. The integrative approach established clear taxonomic concepts for the studied genera and species, and identified useful characters for genera delimitation in Peyssonneliaceae.

AbstractEight genera and 25 species are recognized among the Nearctic, Mexican, and West Indian Oodini. Four new species are described: Oodinus pseudopiceus (type locality: Hillsborough River St. Pk., Hillsborough Co., Florida); Oodinus similis (type locality: San Quintín, Chiapas, Mexico); Oodinus darlingtoni (type locality: Cauto El Cristo, Oriente, Cuba); and Oodinus edentulus (type locality: 31.8 mi E Francisco Escárcega, Campeche, Mexico). Oodes fluvialis LeConte, 1863, previously recognized as a subspecies of O. americanus Dejean, 1826, is given specific status. The following new synonymies are established: Eulachnocrepis Habu, 1956 with Lachnocrepis LeConte, 1853; Stenocrepis texana (LeConte, 1863), S. chalcas Bates, 1882, and S. chalcochrous Chaudoir, 1883 with S. insulana (Jacquelin du Val, 1857); Stenocrepis quatuordecimstriata (Chaudoir, 1843), S. picipes (LeConte, 1844), S. stenocephala (LaFerté-Sénectère, 1851), and S. sulcata Chevrolat, 1863 with S. mexicana (Chevrolat, 1835). Lectotypes are designated for Oodinus alutaceus (Bates, 1882), Oodes amaroides Dejean, 1831, O. fluvialis LeConte, 1863, O. americanus Dejean, 1826, Stenocrepis texana (LeConte, 1863), S. chalcas Bates, 1882, S. lecontei (Chaudoir, 1857), S. quatuordecimstriata (Chaudoir, 1843), S. picipes (LeConte, 1844), S. cuprea (Chaudoir, 1843), S. tibialis (Chevrolat, 1834), S. femoralis (Chaudoir, 1835), S. elegans (LeConte, 1851), and S. gratiosa (Bates, 1882). The genus-group name Nanodes Habu, 1956, a homonym of Nanodes Schönherr, 1825, is replaced by Nanodiodes, new replacement name. For each genus treated, the following are provided: citation of original description and selected references, notes about synonymy (if required), description, geographical distribution and diversity, and monophyly and phylogenetic relationships. For each species included, the following are given: citation of original description and synonymies, type material, etymology (for new species only), notes about synonymy (if required), diagnosis, description, geographical distribution, bionomics, and phylogenetic relationships (if the genus includes more than two species). Keys to genera and, for each genus, to species are included. The species distributions are mapped, and the important structural features are illustrated.
