A New Species

  This paper forms a part of the studies towards a World Monograph of Nepenthes Linnaeus (1753: 955) building on a Skeletal Revision of Nepenthes (Jebb & Cheek 1997) and the Flora Malesiana account (Cheek & Jebb 2001). In the course of studying previously unseen specimens from the Philippines, four sheets (Ramos & Edanõ 45690, K, NY, UC, US), of a species previously unknown came to light from Mt Alzapan. The oblong, glabrous, ligulate, sessile leaf-blades with 5–7 pairs of nearly evenly spaced longitudinal nerves placed the species unambiguously in the Insignes group of Danser (1928) which is restricted to the Philippines apart from one species, N. insignis Danser (1928: 314), in New Guinea and, more ambiguously, N. northiana Hooker, J.D. (1881: 717) in Borneo (Cheek & Jebb 2001).

A New Species

Bulbophyllum section Brachyantha (Reichenbach 1861: 264) comprises about 26 species distributed from India to Japan and the Philippines, with one species in New Guinea (Vermeulen 2014: 27). In northeastern India, the section is represented by nine species (Hooker 1890, Augustine et al. 2001, Lucksom 2007, Rao 2007, Chen & Vermeulen 2009), which were earlier treated under Bulbophyllum section Umbellata (Bentham & Hooker 1883: 503).

A New Species

Aphyllorchis Blume (1825: 16) comprises approximately 30 species distributed from Sri Lanka, the western Himalayas, and China through Indochina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines eastward to New Guinea and Australia (Hsieh et al. 2013, Tian et al. 2013). Aphyllorchis species are leafless and mycoheterotrophic, with erect, unbranched stems, racemose inflorescences, multiple resupinate flowers, petals similar to sepals but shorter and narrower and lips divided into hypochile and epichile (Tian et al. 2013). As in most other mycoheterotrophs (Suetsugu 2017, Suetsugu & Nishioka 2017, Suetsugu et al. 2017), the diversity of Aphyllorchis species could be underestimated since the short flowering season and inconspicuous habit make them easily overlooked in the wild (Hsieh et al. 2013).

A New Species

A new species of the genus Sarax Simon, 1892 is described from Panay Island, Philippines. Sarax curioi sp. n. is the second species of the genus from the country and can be distinguished from the other Philippine species (Sarax brachydactylus Simon, 1892) by the sclerotized granules of the pedipalp surface, the spines of the pedipalp distitibia, the number of denticles of the chelicerae claw and the shape of the denticles of the chelicerae basal segment. Sarax newbritainensis Rahmadi and Kojima, 2010 is newly recorded from New Ireland Island, Papua New Guinea.

A New Species

A new species of pomacentrid fish is described from coral reefs of Papua New Guinea. Specimens were collected by the author between 1982 and 2000. Pomacentrus aurifrons is described from 12 specimens, 22.4 61.5 mm SL, collected at depths between 7 12 m. It closely resembles P. smithi Fowler and Bean from Indonesia and the Philippines. These species have similar morphology but are easily distinguished by the taller dorsal fin of P. aurifrons (tallest dorsal ray averaging 1.37 in HL versus 1.65 in HL for P. smithi) and colour pattern differences, particularly the broad zone of yellow encompassing the snout, forehead, and base of the anterior dorsal spines.

Gollumiella Hedqvist (type species: G. longipetiolata Hedqvist, 1978) is resurrected from synonymy with Losbanus Ishii, and Losbanus (type species: L. uichancoi Ishii, 1932) is synonymised with Orasema Cameron. Gollumiella is revised and a key is provided to distinguish the six species in the Indo-Pacific region. Three new species of Gollumiella are described: G. guineensis (New Guinea), G. infuscata (Borneo) and G. neopetiolata (Borneo, New Guinea and the Philippines). New character states for Anorasema Boucek are presented and a new species, A. manii (India), is described. Phylogenetic relationships among Gollumiella, Anorasema and other Eucharitidae are discussed.
