In Lee & Langenheim’s taxonomic revision of the genus Hymenaea (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae), the species Hymenaea travassii was considered a species of dubious status.  A detailed analysis of the type material and additional specimens, clearly indicates, however, that this is a distinct species, endemic to the Bolivian “chaco”. The species can be distinguished by a combination of its habit, the texture of the bark and the shape and size of its leaflets. This study proposes the reestablishment of Hymenaea travassii as a distinct species, based on morphology. A species description, a key to distinguish Hymenaea travassii from related species, and a summary of its geographical distribution are presented, together with an illustration.

Cabomba schwartzii was described by Rataj in 1977. The species discovered in the Brazilian Amazon was said to differ from other Cabomba species in having two sepals, two petals and a lobate petal base. According to the 1991 study of Ørgaard, C. schwartzii is similar to C. aquatica in other morphological characters (C. aquatica has flowers with three sepals and three petals) and since variation in number of floral parts is common in the genus, Ørgaard synonymized both species. After an analysis of C. schwartzii type material, other herbarium collections and location of four populations (two with C. schwartzii characteristics and two with C. aquatica characteristics), we conducted an integrated morphological and genetic study to evaluate whether or not C. schwartzii is a distinct species from C. aquatica. The results reveal the species to be distinct from each other and therefore C. schwartzii should be reestablished. The floral formula for C. schwartzii is K2 C2 A2+2 G1, versus K3 C3 A3+3 G2 for C. aquatica. A detailed species description and the geographical distribution of C. schwartzii are presented with a dichotomous key to distinguish both species, together with illustrations.

Tentative Identification

The genus Pseudophysaloptera, recognized as a genus distinct from Physatoptera, is tentatively considered monotypic. The several species previously assigned to the genus Pseudophysaloptera, and the closely related species Physaloptera kotlani, have been reduced to one polytypic species, Pseudophysaloptera formosana, with two subspecies, P. f. formosana and P. f. soricina. The former occurs in Oriental species of Suncus, while the latter occurs in Palaearctic and Ethiopian soricid insectivores. North American specimens, which may represent a distinct species, are tentatively assigned to P. f. soricina. Presently available collections are only sufficient for a tentative identification of the Nearctic form.

AbstractEight genera and 25 species are recognized among the Nearctic, Mexican, and West Indian Oodini. Four new species are described: Oodinus pseudopiceus (type locality: Hillsborough River St. Pk., Hillsborough Co., Florida); Oodinus similis (type locality: San Quintín, Chiapas, Mexico); Oodinus darlingtoni (type locality: Cauto El Cristo, Oriente, Cuba); and Oodinus edentulus (type locality: 31.8 mi E Francisco Escárcega, Campeche, Mexico). Oodes fluvialis LeConte, 1863, previously recognized as a subspecies of O. americanus Dejean, 1826, is given specific status. The following new synonymies are established: Eulachnocrepis Habu, 1956 with Lachnocrepis LeConte, 1853; Stenocrepis texana (LeConte, 1863), S. chalcas Bates, 1882, and S. chalcochrous Chaudoir, 1883 with S. insulana (Jacquelin du Val, 1857); Stenocrepis quatuordecimstriata (Chaudoir, 1843), S. picipes (LeConte, 1844), S. stenocephala (LaFerté-Sénectère, 1851), and S. sulcata Chevrolat, 1863 with S. mexicana (Chevrolat, 1835). Lectotypes are designated for Oodinus alutaceus (Bates, 1882), Oodes amaroides Dejean, 1831, O. fluvialis LeConte, 1863, O. americanus Dejean, 1826, Stenocrepis texana (LeConte, 1863), S. chalcas Bates, 1882, S. lecontei (Chaudoir, 1857), S. quatuordecimstriata (Chaudoir, 1843), S. picipes (LeConte, 1844), S. cuprea (Chaudoir, 1843), S. tibialis (Chevrolat, 1834), S. femoralis (Chaudoir, 1835), S. elegans (LeConte, 1851), and S. gratiosa (Bates, 1882). The genus-group name Nanodes Habu, 1956, a homonym of Nanodes Schönherr, 1825, is replaced by Nanodiodes, new replacement name. For each genus treated, the following are provided: citation of original description and selected references, notes about synonymy (if required), description, geographical distribution and diversity, and monophyly and phylogenetic relationships. For each species included, the following are given: citation of original description and synonymies, type material, etymology (for new species only), notes about synonymy (if required), diagnosis, description, geographical distribution, bionomics, and phylogenetic relationships (if the genus includes more than two species). Keys to genera and, for each genus, to species are included. The species distributions are mapped, and the important structural features are illustrated.

AbstractLectotypes are designated for Margaronia curvilinea Janse, 1924, and Margaronia pratti Janse, 1924. These species are referred to Palpita Hübner, [1808], as new combinations. They are redescribed and differentiated from certain closely related species. Phalaena Geometra annulata Fabricius, 1794, and Botys partialis Lederer, 1863, are treated as species inquirenda in the absence of type material. Glyphodes celsalis Walker, 1859, and Margaronia inusitata Butler, 1879, are treated as distinct species and are transferred to Palpita as new combinations. Margaronia warrenalis Swinhoe, 1894, is transferred to Palpita as a new combination; a lectotype is designated for this species and its characters are compared with those of P. curvilinea. Palpita varii n. sp., from Manusela, Ceram, and P. jansei n. sp., from the Island of Mioswar, Geelvink Bay, New Guinea, are described from holotypes drawn from the type-series of P. pratti; characters differentiating these three species are given.

We present a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the Mecistocephalidae occurring in the Japanese main archipelago and in Taiwan, based on both the critical analysis of published information and the comparative morphological examination of representative specimens, including type material. A total of 34 species in 8 genera are recognised. Diagnostic characters, synonyms and geographical distribution are reviewed and discussed for all species, and a detailed redescription is provided for 12 already known species. An identification key to all species is also provided. The following species are described as new: Arrup ishiianus, Arrup lilliputianus, Arrup longicalix, Arrup kyushuensis, Mecistocephalus changi, Mecistocephalus karasawai. The following synonymies are new: Tygarrup monoporus Shinohara, 1961 = Dicellophilus pulcher (Kishida, 1928); Mecistocephalus fenestratus Verhoeff, 1934 = Mecistocephalus japonicus Meinert, 1886; Mecistocephalus insulomontanus Gressitt, 1941 = Mecistocephalus marmoratus Verhoeff, 1934; Mecistocephalus manazurensis Shinohara, 1961 = Mecistocephalus nannocornis Chamberlin, 1920; Mecistocephalus mirandus Pocock, 1895 = Mecistocephalus japonicus Meinert, 1886; Mecistocephalus okinawaensis Takakuwa, 1939 = Mecistocephalus pauroporus Takakuwa, 1936; Mecistocephalus takakuwai Verhoeff, 1934 = Mecistocephalus diversisternus (Silvestri, 1919). Dicellophilus pulcher (Kishida, 1928) new comb. is here recognised as the valid name for the species previously referred to as Dicellophilus latifrons Takakuwa,1934.

In recent floristic and taxonomic studies, Stemodia scoparioides (Gratiolae, Plantaginaceae) has been considered a synonym of S. lanceolata or a synonym of S. stricta. However, a detailed analysis of the type material and additional specimens clearly indicates that this is a different species, which can be distinguished by the aspect of the plants, the size of the leaves, the shape of the blades, and the length of the corollas. Consequently, in this contribution Stemodia scoparioides is resurrected from the synonymy as an independent species based on the analysis of morphological features. Additionally, complete description (including the pollen grains), geographic distribution, ecological observations, and a key to distinguish the related species are also reported, together with an illustration of S. scoparioides.

Taxonomic Description

Persicaria sinica (≡ Polygonum sinicum) was considered as a synonym of Polygonum thunbergii (≡ Persicaria thunbergii), and its specimens were frequently identified as the latter, or occasionally as Polygonum dissitiflorum (≡ Persicaria dissitiflora). However, a detailed analysis of the type materials and additional specimens clearly indicates that P. sinica is a distinct species, which can be easily distinguished from P. thunbergii and P. dissitiflora, as well as other species of Persicaria section Echinocaulon (≡ Polygonum section Echinocaulon) by habit, the shape of the leaf blade, the apex of the ocreae, the structure of the inflorescences, the indumentum and color of the peduncles, and the shape and surface of the achenes. The specific status of P. sinica is thus reinstated. Additionally, complete taxonomic description, geographic distribution, ecological observations, and a key to distinguish the related species are also provided.

During a taxonomic revision of Selaginella from the Himalaya which is a part of the ongoing “Flora of Pan-Himalaya” project, we studied the taxonomy of Selaginella monospora and its closely related species. We found that S. microclada once treated as a synonym of S. monospora should be accepted as a distinct species. In contrast, S. trichophylla, S. monospora var. ciliolata, S. medogensis, and S. effusa var. dulongjiangensis are reduced to synonymy of S. monospora based on molecular phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters. Selaginella monospora is characterized by denticulate to ciliolate leaves and strongly dimorphic sporophylls vs. denticulate leaves and slightly dimorphic sporophylls in S. microclada. A lectotypification of S. medogensis was also made in the present study.
