A new porcellanid crab, Petrolisthes landsendi Garassino & Nyborg n. sp., from the Upper Cretaceous (upper Santonian) Nanaimo Group of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) is herein described. Petrolisthes landsendi Garassino & Nyborg n. sp. represents the oldest species of Petrolisthes Stimpson, 1858 and is the first species from the northeastern Pacific, thus expanding the stratigraphical age and geographical range of the genus.

Abstract A new species of homolid crab, Zygastrocarcinus tricki sp. nov., is reported from the Late Cretaceous (middle Campanian, Baculites scotti Zone) of the Pierre Shale Formation (Baculite Mesa, Pueblo County, Colorado). This nearly complete homolid, hereto described is the sixth species assigned to the genus and extends our knowledge along with the geographical range and geological age of this taxon.

A New Species

A new satyrine butterfly species, Splendeuptychia tupinamba Freitas, Huertas & Rosa, sp. nov. (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae), is described. This species is found throughout a large geographical range in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, predominantly in the Cerrado domain, with some records in neighboring Amazonia and Atlantic Forest. Morphology and molecular data indicate that this species is part of a clade that includes Splendeuptychia ashna (the type species of the genus Splendeuptychia), and several species placed in the recently described genus Nubila Viloria, Andrade & Henao, 2019.

A New Species

Six species of the genus Rhabdosciadium (Apiaceae) were studied by molecular phylogenetic analysis. The taxonomic status of each of them has been confirmed, the genus Rhabdosciadium turns out as a well-supported monophyletic group closely related to the genera Aegopodium, Caropodium, Carum, Falcaria, Fuernrohria, Gongylosciadium, Grammosciadium s.s., Hladnikia, Olymposciadium, etc. Rhabdosciadium anatolyi sp. nov. is described and illustrated as a new species from Hakkâri province, eastern Turkey. It differs from the other taxa of the genus, in addition to its unique geographical range, in the large terminal leaf lobes with regularly serrated margin, mainly ternate primary basal segments of leaves, and long internodes.

Govenia polychroma, a new orchid species from central Veracruz, Mexico is described and illustrated. It is similar to G. matudae, G. praecox and G. rubellilabia in the relatively small flowers, two leaves and globose corms, but differs from all previously described species in the purplish-magenta petals with yellow apices and the strongly conduplicate, narrowly channeled column foot. Due to its small geographical range (less than 1 km2) and the small number of both populations (two) and individuals (14), the new species is considered as endangered.

A New Species

A new species of mole-rat with a striking colour pattern is described from a single mounted specimen in the historical collection of the ‘Museo Civico di Zoologia’ in Rome, Italy. The lack of skull and original collecting data does not allow the gathering of firm evidences about its taxonomic relationships, geographical range and ecological preferences. This taxon is provisionally allocated to the recently created genus Fukomys Kock, Ingram, Frabotta, Honeycutt and Burda 2006 on the grounds of pelage colour pattern and geographical origin. All the available evidence, including label and other fragmentary historical data, supports Fukomys ilariae sp. nov. as originating from the Lower Shebelle region near Mogadishu, Somalia, historically known as Benadir. This discovery highlights the relevance for biodiversity conservation of the Horn of Africa and the need of further faunistic research to describe its fauna.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Ardistomis Putzeys, A. quixotei, is described and illustrated from specimens collected in Cuba and Mexico, along with its larva and pupa. Data on natural history and habitat are given for Cuban populations. A key to adults of all species of Ardistomis from the West Indies is included. Among the species studied for comparison, A. elongatulus Putzeys and A. schaumi LeConte seem to be the closest Middle American relatives of A. quixotei, based on features of the male genitalia. Larval features support recognizing the ardistomines (Ardistomis Putzeys, Semiardistomis Kult, and Aspidoglossa Putzeys) as a subtribe of the tribe Civinini. Ardistomis quixotei probably extended its geographical range to Cuba from Mexico during the Quaternary Period.Una nueva especie del género Ardistomis Putzeys, A. quixotei se describe e ilustra a partir de especimenes colectados en Cuba y México junto a las larvas y pupas. Se ofrecen datos de la historia natural y el hábitat para las poblaciones cubanas. Se incluye una clave para determinar los adultos de todas las especies antillanas del género Ardistomis. De las especies Centro Americanas estudiadas para comparar, A. elongatulus Putzeys y A. schaumi LeConte parecen ser las más cercanamente relacionadas de A. quixotei, basado en características de los genitales masculinos. Las características larvales apoyan la clasificación de los Ardistominos (Ardistomis Putzeys, Semiardistomis Kult, y Aspidoglossa Putzeys) como una subtribu de la tribu Clivinini. Ardistomis quixotei extendió su rango geográfico hacia Cuba desde México durante el período Cuaternario.

A New Species

The Agropyron population from the shores of the upper Great Lakes is considered to be morphologically distinct from that of the plains' species A. dasystachyum (Hook.) Scribn. and is here described as A. psammophilum. The geographical range is mapped and shown to be disjunct from that of the plains' species. A. psammophilum consistently occupies a sandy shore habitat. The species is tetraploid (2n = 28). Several explanations for the presence of empty pollen grains in some specimens of A. psammophilum are presented.
