A New Species

Phoradendron longicaule (Viscaceae), a new, nearly leafless species of mistletoe from the Infiernillo-Zicuirán Biosphere Reserve of southern Michoacán, Mexico, is described and illustrated.  It occurs in a tropical deciduous forest at elevations of 400 to 500 m, and all known hosts belong to Fabaceae. The long, straight, pendulous stems and elongated vegetative internodes are distinctive features. It is most similar to P. nudum but differs by having 3 or 4 pistillate flowers per fertile bract, expanded albeit highly reduced leaves, and longer vegetative internodes. It is also similar to P. teretifolium from which it differs by having a pendulous habit, longer vegetative internodes, 3 or 4 pistillate flowers per fertile bract, and fruits on short internodes.

A New Species

A new species of Lepidophyma from the Biosphere Reserve area of Tehuacan-Cuicatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico, is described. This new species, Lepidophyma cuicateca sp. nov., is known from two areas in the Cuicatlan Valley. Lepidophyma cuicateca sp. nov. is a member of the Lepidophyma gaigeae species Group and is characterized by its small body size, small size of tubercular body scales, poorly differentiated caudal whorls and interwhorls, and relatively large dorsal, ventral and gular scales. It lives in shady places, below rocks along the Apoala River, and is commonly found in plantain, sapodilla, cherimoya, mango and coffee plantations, as well as tropical deciduous forest. The description of L. cuicateca sp. nov. increases the number of species in the L. gaigeae Group to five.

A new species of Calliandra (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae, tribe Ingeae) from a restricted locality of Campeche, Mexico is herein described and illustrated. The species appears to be closely related to C. molinae, a species from Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, from which it may be distinguished by being allopatric, and by a more limited development of suberose bark in stems and branches, comparatively smaller leaflets, consistently glabrous leaflets and corollas, and by the scarcely villous pods. Calliandra mayana appears to be restricted to an extremely small seasonally flooded savannah surrounded by tropical deciduous forest and, based on IUCN criteria, it is provisionally considered Critically endangered.

A New Species

Neurosystasis Satchell is newly recorded in Mexico by means of the description of a new species. Specimens captured in a tropical deciduous forest in southern Puebla, central Mexico, were examined and determined as a species new to science. The male and female are described based on morphological characteristics. Neurosystasis longistylis sp. nov. is similar in appearance to Neurosystasis saltenia (Omad, Mangudo & Gleiser, 2015), but is readily distinguished based on characters of the head, wing, and male genitalia. In both species, R2+3 is attached to vein R4, the wing membrane is infuscate with dark spots on vein apices, and lacks sensory organs near the apex of Sc, characters not present in other species of Neurosystasis, and for that reasons we proposed the recovery of Chuspilepia from its synonym and validate it as a subgenus of Neurosystasis to include both continental species.

Petronymphe rara is described and illustrated as a new species, endemic to the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, which develops in gypsum soils in the tropical deciduous forest of the Oaxacan Mixteca Alta. This species differs from P. decora, the latter distributed in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, in leaf shape, floral tube size and color and stamen size. We also report the rediscovery of P. decora, a species not collected since 1949 and described in 1951 by Harold E. Moore, including a complete morphological description. In addition, we present an expanded genus description to accommodate the new species.

A New Species

A new species of Oecanthus is described from Mexico. Oecanthus mhatreaesp. nov. occurs in central Mexico in the understory of tropical deciduous forest. Oecanthus mhatreaesp. nov. is currently known only from the Corregidora area of the Mexican state of Querétaro. The widened tegmina and chirp-like brief trills song are consistent with some members of the rileyi species group; however, this new species of tree cricket is different in several aspects. The chirp-like brief trills are generally irregularly spaced, it does not have the expected grouping of the chirp pulses, and the colors of buff, light olive green, or light brown are vastly different than the four known pale green species in the rileyi species group of the Western Hemisphere. Morphology, habitat, and song details of this new species, with the common name of Otomi tree cricket, are provided in this paper. Video can be viewed at www.oecanthinae.com.

A new species of Oecanthus is described from Mexico. Oecanthus rohiniaesp. nov. occurs in central Mexico in the understory of tropical deciduous forest and is currently known only from Mexico. This new species has the coloring, antennal markings, slightly widened tegmina, and calling song that are found in the rileyi species group. Although morphologically very similar to Oecanthus fultoni, the shapes of the distal hooks on the male copulatory blades differ between the two species. There are also differences in the song pulse patterns and chirp rate response to temperature. This new species has been given the common name Cri-Cri tree cricket. Video and song recordings are available online.

A total of 502 species that belong to 115 families and 301 genera were recorded for Mt. El Cebu and adjacent zones in Polygon V of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. The most speciose families were Orchiclaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Bromeliaceae and polypodiaceae with 58, 29, 28, 17, and 17 species, respectively. Six plant communities were recognized in the area, among which the cloud forest was the most diverse with 234 species, followed by pine-oak fore st with 150 species, and the tropical rain forest with 127. The oak forest and the tropical deciduous forest were less diverse, with 71 and 39 species, respectively. Only 13 species are included in the Mexican red list of endangered taxa.
