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. Notes on its habitat, taxonomic affinity, conservation status, geographic distribution, illustrations, and photographs are provided.

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.

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.

A New Species

A new species of Dendrophidion belonging to the D. dendrophis species group is described from Mata do Engenho Coimbra (08°59’S, 35°53’W; 526 m above sea level), Municipality of Ibateguara, in the Atlantic Rainforest remnants of the State of Alagoas, northeastern Brazil. Dendrophidion atlantica sp. nov. is characterized by having 154–163 ventral scales, 140–160 subcaudal scales, tail length 62.2–74.8% of snout–vent length, collar absent, head uniformly brown and dorsal ground color brown, paler on anterior third, with cream transversal lines (one half a scale long), bordered anteriorly and posteriorly by dark brown lines (one half a scale long), distributed from the neck to the tail; hemipenis single, subcylindrical, unicapitate, and unicalyculate; calyces large, well defined, papillate; a series of 12 large spines just below the capitulum, on the asulcate and lateral sides; a series of four spines, two large laterals and two small between them, in the basal region of the asulcate side of the organ body; two large spines on the lateral distal areas of the sulcate side of the hemipenial body; sulcus spermaticus centrolineal, bifurcating at the tip of the capitulum.

Mata Atlântica enchytraeids (Paraná, Brazil): A new genus, Xetadrilus gen. nov., with three new species, and four new species of Guaranidrilus Černosvitov (Enchytraeidae, Oligochaeta)

Species Specific

Seven new species of terrestrial Enchytraeidae (Oligochaeta) are described from soils of the southern Brazilian Atlantic rain forest. They were found in the framework of the German-Brazilian project SOLOBIOMA, which studied rain forest recovery. Specimens were investigated in vivo and as stained whole mounts. Three species belong to a new genus, named Xetadrilus. Xetadrilus is similar to Guaranidrilus Č ernosvitov, 1937 and Tupidrilus Righi, 1974; it differs in the absence of lateral chaetae from segment VIII on and in peculiar structures of the prostomium: ganglia, inner papillae, and a frontal epithelial recess. Further peculiarities are small body size, absence of oesophageal appendages, and a variable pattern of pharyngeal glands. The three species are named X. maacki, X. aphanus, and X. fabryi. Three further nominal species are transferred to Xetadrilus: Marionina pituca Righi, 1974, Marionina righiana Xie & Rota, 2001, and Stercutus ugandensis Bell, 1954. The other four new species belong to Guaranidrilus, the species-richest genus at the sampling sites. They are named G. andreolii, G. marquesi, G. cingulatus, and G. hoeferi. All species have elongate transverse epidermal gland cells, three pairs of post-pharyngeal ganglia, and a dorsal vesicle in the nephridial postseptale. These traits may be included in the genus diagnosis. In all species described here, most of the species-specific taxonomic traits are found in non-reproductive structures, which means that specimens of all age groups can be identified to the species level, juveniles included.
