Three New Species

Three new species, namely Cousinia boyerahmadica, C. deluensis and C. masulehensis (Asteraceae-Cardueae), are described and illustrated from Iran. The diagnostic characters of these new taxa are compared with their relatives. Their ecology, phytochoria and phenology are presented. Cousinia macrolepis is reported as new to Iran. Cousinia beckeri, which was excluded from C. sect. Cynaroideae on the basis of a wrong citation, is returned to the section. Cousinia subinflata, which was also excluded from the section as an intersectional hybrid, is rehabilitated as a distinct species. The distribution map and conservation status of these taxa according to the IUCN categories are also provided.

Three new Magnolia species and a new record from Guatemala are described and illustrated. Two of the new species, M. javieri and M. oscarrodrigoi, are from Alta Verapaz Department and one, M. veliziana, is from Quiché Department. Additionally, M. faustinomirandae is newly reported for the flora of Guatemala. With this contribution, the number of native Guatemalan species increases from 11 to 15 species. An updated distribution map and a key to species are provided. Guatemala, particularly the north-wet-arc in the Maya Highlands, is now an important centre of diversification and endemism for Magnolia. The conservation status of the newly proposed species was unofficially assessed using IUCN criteria.

Abstract— A new species of Galianthe from the west coast of Colombia and Ecuador that has fruits with indehiscent mericarps is described and illustrated. Galianthe holmneielsenii is most similar to Borreria ocymifolia and G. spicata, but differs in floral, fruit, and seed traits.

A New Species

A new species of Magnolia from the southern Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico, is described and illustrated, providing information about its habitat distribution, ecology, biogeography and conservation status. After 12 fieldwork expeditions near the border of the states of Hidalgo and Puebla, we have developed morphological, ecological and biogeographic data to support recognition of populations from Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo and Pahuatlán, Puebla as a distinct species of Magnolia sect. Macrophylla. A key to species of this section and a distribution map for Mexican taxa are provided. The species was assessed as critically endangered (CR).

Lactuca anatolica is described as a new species from the province of Bingöl, and is known from only one locality. Its diagnostic characters are discussed, and taxonomic comments are presented. Lactuca anatolica is similar to L. leucoclada, L. orientalis subsp. nuristanica and L. orientalis subsp. orientalis but differs from these species in achenes, indumentum and leaves. Its achenes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data on ecology and IUCN conservation status of the new species are also presented. A distribution map of the new and related species is provided.

Species Descriptions

It is proposed that the genus Stiptopodius Harold, 1871 should be subdivided into two species groups based on the shape of the lateral edge of the pronotum. Three new species are described from southern Africa: Stiptopodius peringueyi Daniel & Deschodt, new species, Stiptopodius savuti Daniel & Deschodt, new species, and Stiptopodius muellerae Daniel & Deschodt, new species. Stiptopodius savuti new species is the first record of the genus from Botswana. A distribution map for the new taxa is provided. The identification key to the known species of Stiptopodius is updated.

Abstract Three new taxa of subtribe Hyptidinae (Lamiaceae) from Amazonian Brazil are here described: two from Pará state Eriope macrostachya var. amazonica, and Hyptis cachimboensis, and Hyptis spathulata from Rondônia state. The diagnostic characters, which distinguish them from their closest relatives are described and discussed, their conservation status is given and a plate is provided for each of the new taxa. The Hyptidinae conspectus an earlier checklist of Lamiaceae from Amazonian Brazil is updated with various name changes since its publication, and with the addition of another two species of Hyptis not previously included. Also included, is a note on Hyptis sect. Eriosphaeria, to which the two new species described here, belong.

Three New Species

As part of an ongoing revision of the Southeast Asian fauna two distinct species groups were identified and hypothesized as new genera. These species groups were monophyletic as evidenced by a Bayesian analysis of DNA sequences from four genes for 181 xyleborine taxa augmented by 18 species newly included in this phylogenetic analysis. The species groups and newly discovered species demonstrated unique combinations of diagnostic characters and levels of DNA sequence difference commensurable to other xyleborine taxa. Hence, two new genera and three new species were described: Fraudatrix gen. n., Tricosa gen. n., Tricosa cattienensis sp. n., T. indochinensis sp. n., T. jacula sp. n.. The following new combinations are proposed: Fraudatrix cuneiformis (Schedl, 1958) (Xyleborus) comb. n., Fraudatrix melas (Eggers, 1927) comb. n., F. pileatula (Schedl, 1975) (Xyleborus) comb. n., F. simplex (Browne, 1949), (Cryptoxyleborus) comb. n., Tricosa mangoensis (Schedl, 1942) (Xyleborus) comb. n., T. metacuneola (Eggers, 1940) (Xyleborus) comb. n. Keys to the females of the species included in the new genera are presented. Diagnostic characters are given for the genera and species, and the distribution and biology of each taxon is discussed. The addition of these new genera increases the number of recognized genera of Xyleborini to 41.
