A New Species

A new species, Eleocharis endounifascis, is described and illustrated. This species inhabits standing water in disturbed, open habitats, occurring among a mosaic of wet forest, and probably also flourishes in sunny, seasonally inundated wetlands from Belize to southeastern Venezuela and Guyana to Brazil. It was previously confused with Eleocharis interstincta in herbarium collections and floristic works.

Three New Species

The Syrphidae genus Domodon Reemer, 2013 so far included two species, D. zodiacus Reemer, 2013 and D. peperpotensis Reemer, 2014, both recorded only from Suriname. Additional specimens belonging to this genus have been collected in many other localities in South and Central America. In this paper, the genus is revised and three new species are described: D. caxiuana sp. nov. (northern South America), D. inaculeatus sp. nov. (northern South America), and D. sensibilis sp. nov. (Costa Rica). The distribution of D. peperpotensis is extended to include French Guiana. Photographs of the type material of the new species and illustrations of male genitalia of all species are provided, as well as a key to species.

A New Species

The genus Megarthrus Curtis 1829 with about 139 species described around the world, is the largest of the subfamily Proteininae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) (Cuccodoro 2011). Megarthrus is distributed worldwide (Cuccodoro 1999) but it is apparently more diverse in the Holartic region (Navarrete-Heredia et al. 2002). However, the South American fauna is underestimated because many of the collected specimens are not yet described (Cuccodoro 2011). Newton et al. (2005) cited the genus as probable in Colombia because some species are known from Central America and northern South America, but until now, no species has been published from Colombia. Therefore, M. andinus sp. nov. represents the first record of the genus and subfamily for this country.

A New Species

A new species of Matelea s.l. (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae, Asclepiadeae, Gonolobinae) is described from coastal Colombia: Matelea dugandii. The species belongs to the Ibatia species complex in Matelea s.l., but exhibits distinct differences in floral characters from previously known taxa, particularly in the terminal style-head appendage. An updated key to members of the complex in northern South America and the West Indies is provided, including M. cumanensis, M. fontana, M. maritima, M. pacifica, and M. rubra.

A New Species

A new species, Gabrita erwini, sp. nov. in the tribe Gabritini is described and illustrated from Ecuador, representing the first record of the genus and tribe in northwestern South America which extends its distribution across the Neotropical region from eastern localities in the countries of Brazil, French Guiana and Guyana. Three new species of Sandersellus in the tribe Sandersellini are described and illustrated: S. bigladius, sp. nov. from Bolivia, S. digitatus, sp. nov. from Brazil and S. bilanceus, sp. nov. from Peru. Brazil is a new record for the genus and tribe and extends the distribution eastward from its formerly known western range in Peru, Bolivia and Panama. Taxonomy is reviewed, a revised key to known males and distribution of the known species of Gabrita and Sandersellus are provided.

Recent collecting efforts in the Neotropics have led to the discovery of numerous new species and lineages of aquatic beetles. Here, three new genera are described to accommodate fifteen new species of water scavenger beetles of the subfamily Acidocerinae from northern South America:Crucisternumgen. n.forC.escalerasp. n.(Venezuela),C.ouboterisp. n.(Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Venezuela),C.queneyisp. n.(French Guiana),C.sinuatussp. n.(Brazil),C.toboganensissp. n.(Venezuela),C.vanessaesp. n.(Suriname), andC.xingusp. n.(Brazil);Katasophistesgen. n. forK.charynaesp. n.(Peru),K.cuzcosp. n.(Peru),K.meridasp. n.(Venezuela) andK.superficialissp. n.(Ecuador); andNanosaphesgen. n.forN.castaneussp. n.(Brazil),N.hesperussp. n.(Suriname),N.punctatussp. n.(Guyana), andN.tricolorsp. n.(Guyana, Suriname). It was also found that the monotypic Neotropical endemic genusDieroxenusSpangler, 1979,syn. n.is congeneric withChasmogenusSharp, 1882 resulting in the single new combinationChasmogenuscremnobates(Spangler, 1979),comb. n..Katasophistesmeridasp. n.is known exclusively from seepage habitats, while the remaining taxa described herein are primarily associated with the margins of densely forested streams. Diagnoses, illustrations, distribution maps, and habitat summaries are provided for all new genera and species. A key to the genera of Acidocerinae of the New World is provided.

A New Species

A new species of Piper L. (Piperaceae) from the eastern slopes of the Andes in Colombia and Peru, P. callejasii W. Trujillo & M. A. Jaram., is described and illustrated, and morphological comparisons with similar species are discussed. Piper callejasii is distinguished by its stigmas being sessile, rather than on a long style as in four similar species. Its conservation status is suggested to be Endangered.
