Abstract Describes a new species of fossil wood--Dadoxylon (Araucarioxylon) sahariense--from continental deposits of the Emi-Fezzan region (Libia) in the Sahara. The new species is compared with other African Mesozoic Araucariaceae, and a key to the identification of species is presented.

A study of soil mites in the Brazilian Pantanal, southwestern Brazil, has shown the frequent occurrence of the genus Protogamasellus, especially in cultivated land. Three species were found in this study, Protogamasellus mica (Athias-Henriot), Protogamasellus sigillophorus Mineiro, Lindquist & Moraes, and a new species, Protogamasellus pantanal n. sp., which is here described. A taxonomic key for the identification of species of the genus was prepared, based on the examination of the type specimens of the new species here described, of specimens of other species found in Brazil in this and previous studies, and on the information found in the literature for other species.

The identification of species of Rhipicephalus is likely to give more trouble than is the case with any other genus of Ixodidae, for while, on the one hand, there are few species which depart greatly from the general type, on the other hand the range of variation within the species is extremely great. In no genus is it so dangerous to describe a new species from a single individual, especially if the specimen be a female.

A new species of Chrysopogon from the lateritic hillocks of Kannur District, Kerala, India, is described and illustrated. It closely resembles C. tadulingamii, but differs mainly in having sessile spikelets with a ciliate, short-awned upper glume and a short-awned upper lemma, pedicelled spikelets with 7-nerved, awned lower glume, a short 3-nerved awnless, retrorsely ciliate upper glume and a retuse or bifid upper lemma. The new species also resembles C. asper in some characters, but differs in having acicular or linear leaf blades, rounded leaf sheaths, and sessile spikelets with short-awned upper glume and upper lemma. A key for identification of species in Chrysopogon from Kerala is also provided.

Bulbophyllum xuansonii belonging to section Brachystachyae, discovered in Ninh Binh and Son La provinces is described here as a new species for science. This species is similar to B. xylophyllum and B. gracilipes but can be easily distinguished by the smaller habit and shape of tepals and stelidia. Additionally, B. gracilipes found in Lam Dong Province is reported as the species newly recorded for the flora of Vietnam. The paper provides analytical photos and data on phenology, ecology, and distribution of studied species. Morphological characters of the new species and similar species are shortly discussed. The key for identification of species of B. sect. Brachystachyae in Vietnam is also included.

Apteronotus caudimaculosus, a new species of ghost knifefish with males having greatly elongated snouts, is described from the Pantanal wetlands, Paraguay River basin in Western Brazil. It is distinguished from its congeners by two light bands encircling the caudal peduncle, the first caudal band with irregular spots throughout its development. The presence of two light bands can be used to identify a monophyletic clade in Gymnotiformes, the so-called A. albifrons species complex. This group comprises A. albifrons, A. caudimaculosus and at least six undescribed species. An artificial key to identification of species currently in Apteronotus (sensu stricto) is provided.

Bazzania amadoi is a new species described and illustrated here based on material collected during a study of the bryophyte flora in the Brazilian Amazon Mountains, Monte Roraima National Park, Roraima State, Brazil. Bazzania is the largest genus of Lepidoziaceae,with ca. 30 species recognized in South America. A combination of leaves slightly bifid and recurved to the ventral side, underleaves imbricate and connate with the leaves on only one side, and vittae absent with only a region of larger leaf cells in the mid-lower portion of the leaves (vitta-like), distinguishes B. amadoi from the similar B. gracilis. The new taxon is placed within the key for the identification of species from the Brazilian Amazon domain, and represents an addition to the rich endemic flora of the Brazilian Amazon mountains of the Guiana Highlands. A detailed illustration of the new species is included, and also its informal conservation assessment.

New species in the genus Capillipedium Stapf is described and illustrated from Amarkantak hills of Madhya Pradesh, India. New species is similar to Capillipedium assimile (Steud.) A.Camus and C. nagense Bor but mainly diverges by having 4–6 cm panicle, 2–2.5 cm racemes, about 11–13 pairs of sessile and pedicelled spikelets in each raceme; joints and pedicels without translucent groove, 2–2.5 mm sessile spikelets and 3–3.2 mm pedicelled spikelets. A taxonomic key for genus Capillipedium in India is given to facilitate easy identification of species.
