A New Species

Chresta filicifolia is described and illustrated. It is a perennial herb known only from open vegetation on top of small rock outcrops at the Rio Doce Valley in Eastern Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. This is the first record of a species of Chresta endemic to a phytogeographic domain other than the Cerrado and Caatinga, since those outcrops are included in the Mata Atlântica Domain (Atlantic Forest). The new species is closely related to C. harleyi and C. hatschbachii, but differs from these by its leaves, which are larger and more deeply lobed than those of the other two species, and also by its florets and cypselae, which are both larger in Chresta filicifolia. Moreover, the two other species are allopatric from C. filicifolia, being restricted to the Caatinga Domain. The southernmost distribution of C. harleyi lies more than 500 km away from the locality where the new species is found, making this discovery unexpected, and raising interesting biogeographical questions, which are briefly addressed here.

A New Species

The Brazilian genus Machima Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 includes three valid species: M. paranensis Rehn, 1950 and M. scalprum Rehn, 1950 distributed on Southern and M. phyllacantha (Burmeister, 1838) from Northeastern Brazil. Herein we analyzed eleven male specimens of Machima from Parque Nacional de Itatiaia and propose a new species. Machima itatiaia sp. nov. is characterized by its main lobe of the cercus curving abruptly on apical two-thirds and accessory lobe as long as wide. The new species is the first record of the genus from Southeastern Brazil. Finally, we also present a key to species of Machima based on males.

The South American genus Cardioscarta Melichar, 1932 includes seven species of colorful sharpshooters. Here we describe and illustrate an additional species, C. aurantia sp. nov., from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil (state of Rio de Janeiro). The new taxon can be distinguished by the dark brown to black forewing with two large orange areas, one from basal portion of corium to distal portions of discal cells and another covering most of clavus, or with single large orange area on basal two-thirds. A key to species of Cardioscarta is provided and the new species is compared with the other ones of the genus.

The present paper adds four new species, S. fusticulus, S. fusus, S. triangulatus and S. urubiciensis, all from the Atlantic forest in southern and southeastern Brazil. The new species are described and figured as males and the male of S. hirtus is redescribed based on additional material. A key to the males of Saetherocladius is given.

Wallacean Shortfall

ABSTRACTAccording to the Wallacean shortfall, knowledge about the geographic distribution of most species is still incomplete. Cryptonanus agricolai (Moojen, 1943) is a didelphid marsupial considered Data Deficient by IUCN, since species records are few and sparse. Although little information is available for the species, it is commonly associated with xeric habitats from Caatinga and open formations of the Cerrado in east-central Brazil. Here we report the first records of C. agricolai in the Atlantic Forest core, a new ecoregion of occurrence for the species, based on a recent collected voucher - identified through morphological and molecular analysis - from a Mussununga formation in Reserva Biológica do Córrego do Veado, southeastern Brazil. This record extends the occurrence of the species to more than 1 700 000 km2 and lower its altitudinal range limit to 108 m.RESUMOAmpliação da distribuição de Cryptonanus agricolai (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) e primeiro registro no centro da Mata Atlântica. De acordo com a Lacuna Wallaceana, o conhecimento sobre a distribuição geográfica da maioria das espécies está incompleto. Cryptonanus agricolai (Moojen, 1943) é um marsupial didelfídeo classificado pela IUCN na categoria Dados Insuficientes, uma vez que os registros existentes são poucos e esparsos. Embora haja pouca informação disponível para tal espécie, ela é comumente associada a habitats xéricos da Caatinga e formações abertas do Cerrado no centro-leste do Brasil. Aqui relatamos os primeiros registros de C. agricolai na Mata Atlântica, notadamente uma nova ecorregião de ocorrência para a espécie, com base em um espécime recentemente coletado – e identificado através de análises morfológicas e moleculares - em formação de Mussununga na Reserva Biológica do Córrego do Veado, sudeste do Brasil. Nossos achados ampliam a ocorrência da espécie para mais de 1 700 000 km2 e estabelece novo limite inferior de altitude para 108 m. Palavras-chave. Corredor Central da Mata Atlântica.

A New Species

We describe a new species of dull-colored flea-toad, genus Brachycephalus, from the Atlantic Forest of Caparaó mountains in southeastern Brazil. The new species is characterized by its diminutive size, “leptodactyliform” body, brownish color with an inverted V-shaped dark mark on dorsum, skin smooth, hyperossification and dorsal shield absent, linea masculinea absent, Fingers I and IV vestigial, Toe I externally absent, Toe II reduced but functional, Toes III and IV with pointed tips, Toe V vestigial, and ventral color uniformly brown. It is a leaf litter dweller, known only from type locality in the humid forests on the eastern slopes of Parque Nacional do Caparaó mountains, a protected area in the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. It is the third flea-toad occurring in the state of Espírito Santo recovered as sister to all other Brachycephalus distributed from the state of São Paulo northward in the Atlantic Forest.
