A New Species

Moldenhawera is a small genus of caesalpinioid legumes from eastern Brazil, characterized by the presence of T-shaped trichomes, flowers lacking a hypanthium, clawed petals with wrinkled margins, and dimorphic androecium with only one fertile stamen. Moldenhawera longipedicellata is described as a new species from the Atlantic Forest phytogeographical domain in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. It is similar to M. floribunda, M. polysperma and M. papillanthera by presenting slender staminodia filaments, longer than the anthers. However, it can be distinguished from those related species by the once-pinnate leaves (vs. bipinnate), flowers with long pedicels (2–5.9 cm long) and larger sepals (16–25 × 4–8 mm) and petals (petal claw 10–19 mm long and petal blade 14–24 × 13–23 mm).

Iucn Criteria

Tocoyena atlantica, a new species endemic to southern Bahia and northern Espírito Santo states, Brazil, is here described and illustrated. The species consists of trees 5−8 m tall; with petioles 2−5 cm long, and leaf blades 7.4−24.5 × 2.5−9.1 cm, elliptic, adaxially glabrous; calyces cup-shaped with triangular lobes; corolla yellow during anthesis, with tube gradually wider towards the mouth; and laterally compressed hypanthia. Based on IUCN criteria, we consider T. atlantica endangered, with three collection localities within the Atlantic Forest domain. An identification key for species of Tocoyena occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest is also provided.

A New Species

Moldenhawera is a small genus of Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae), characterized by biramous (T-shaped) trichomes, compoundly pinnate stipules, hypanthium absence, clawed petals, dimorphic androecium, and anther connective of the fertile stamen pubescent. Moldenhawera congestiflora, a new species from the Atlantic Forest in Bahia State, Brazil is described and illustrated. It is distinguished from other species of the M. sect. Brasilianae by the combination of its tree habit, leaves relatively long (rachis > 24 cm long), leaflets elliptic to oblong with apex acuminate, flower buds densely grouped at the inflorescence apex, flowers pentamerous, petal blades relatively small (6–8 × 4–5 mm), and base of fertile stamen villous. Additionally we provide a new identification key for the section Brasilianae.

Guapira siqueirae is described in the present paper as a new species from the Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo State (SE-Brazil). This species can be morphologically distinguished from the other Guapira species by the distal portion of the branches, the bases of the petioles and peduncle that are ferruginous-puberulous, the inflorescences with alternate or opposite branches, the lustrous adaxial surface of matures leaves, and the larger anthocarps. A distribution map and comparisons with morphologically related species are also provided.

A New Species

Species of Euglossa Latreille, 1802 belonging to the Euglossa purpurea Friese, 1899 species group occurring in the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil are here revised, illustrated and provided with key for their identification. Seven species of the E. purpurea group were found to occur in eastern Brazil, one of them considered as a new species, Euglossa monnei sp. n. Euglossa avicula is recorded for the first time outside the state of Espírito Santo in the Atlantic Forest and new regional records are presented for other four species. Records of E. avicula outside the Atlantic Forest are dismissed and the identity of some species is discussed.
