A New Species

AbstractA new species of the genus Physalaemus from the Atlantic Rain Forest of the state of Minas Gerais is described. It belongs to P. signifer species group and is characterized by well-developed vocal sac, second finger with the same size of the fourth, granulate dorsal skin, large inguinal gland with black ocelli, presence of dorso-lateral folds, and advertisement call composed by harmonic notes, generally four, being the last shorter than the others. Information on tadpole external morphology are also presented.

A New Species

Hemiphractidae contains five genera (Frost 2011; Duellman et al. 2011), of which Gastrotheca Fitzinger is the most diverse with 60 species in Central and South America. Eight species of Gastrotheca occur in eastern and southeastern Brazil (Izecksohn et al. 2009; Frost 2011). According to Caramaschi and Rodrigues (2007) a comprehensive analyses of phylogenetic relationships between species of Gastrotheca from the Atlantic Rain Forest of Brazil still remains to be done. Thus, they separated the species of this genus in three phenetic assemblages, of which Gastrotheca fissipes is placed alone in a group. According to Duellman (1984) the distribution of Gastrotheca fissipes ranges from the state of Pernambuco to Espírito Santo. Recently, Izeckson et al. (2009) suggested that the species formerly known as G. fissipes represented two distinct species. They described G. megacephala as a new species occurring from Espírito Santo to southern Bahia and restricted G. fissipes to occur only at the type locality, Igarassú, Pernambuco. In the present study we describe the advertisement call of G. fissipes and compare it with the advertisement call of G. megacephala. Additionally we provide new data on its geographical distribution.

A New Species

Abstract— A new species of Phyllanthus with phylloclades endemic to the State of Bahia is described here. Phyllanthus dracaenoides can be recognized for its peculiar habit that resembles a species of Dracaena, a very unusual height of up to 7 m, the plagiotropic phylloclades spirally arranged, and its vermiform cincinni.

A New Species

Seven species of the genus Chiromyza Wiedemann are recorded in Brazil: C. brevicornis (Lindner, 1949), C. enderleini (Lindner, 1949), C. leptiformis (Macquart, 1838), C. ochracea Wiedemann, 1820, C. stylicornis (Enderlein, 1921), C. viridis Bezzi, 1922 and C. vittata Wiedemann, 1820. Herein I describe a new species, Chiromyza raccai sp. nov., based on 88 specimens (41 males, 47 females) from the Atlantic Rain Forest mountains of State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the city of Miguel Pereira. The new species is distinguished from the related species C. ochracea and C. vittata by the structure of male terminalia. Chiromyza raccai sp. nov. has the distal region of the phallus rounded with two conspicuous apical setae, C. ochracea has the distal surface of the phallus wide and flatness, and C. vittata has the distal surface of the phallus rounded with outer margin rugose.

A new species of the genus Liotyphlops, known from three localities in the states of Alagoas and Bahia, in the Atlantic Rain Forest of Northeastern Brazil, is described. Liotyphlops trefauti sp. nov. is distinguished from all other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: four scales contacting the posterior edge of prefrontal; one scale contacting the posterior edge of nasal, between the second supralabial and the frontal; five scales in the first vertical row of lateral head scales; 22-22-22 scales around body; 520–543 dorsal scales; 499–532 ventral scales; absence of eye spot; and dorsal and ventral color bright yellowish-brown to reddish-brown.

Ceraceomyces is characterized by resupinate basidioma with pellicular aspect, thin hymenial layer and loose subiculum, smooth or merulioid hymenial surface, monomitic hyphal system with clamped hyphae, narrowly clavate basidia, and subglobose to narrowly ovate to ellipsoid basidiospores. Five species are reported for South America, four of which are known from Brazil, and Ceraceomyces atlanticus is here introduced as a new species. Macro- and micro-descriptions, line drawings and a LSU phylogenetic tree for Amylocorticiales are provided.
