Shape And Size

In this study, Fritillaria arsusiana (Liliaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Hatay province in southern Anatolia, Turkey. It is related to F. amana and F. hermonis by habitus features and broadly campanulate flowers, but differs mainly by its bulb shape and size, smaller leaf and flower features, and flower colour. It has also been morphologically compared with F. wendelboi, F. pinardii, and F. latakiensis. The detailed description, diagnostic characters, original photographs, geographical distribution, habitat and phenology, etymology, conservation status, and identification key of the new and the related species are presented in this study. IUCN conservation status of F. arsusiana is suggested as Critically Endangered (CR).

During fieldwork to investigate bryophyte communities in disjunct areas of savannas in the Eastern Amazon, a new species of Cheilolejeunea was collected. The genus contains species mainly inhabiting tropical rain forests, which also occur in seasonal forests or xeromorphic forests, such as Cheilolejeunea adnata, Cheilolejeunea discoidea, and Cheilolejeunea rigidula. The aim of this paper is to describe and illustrate the new species, as well as to present comments on its morphology, taxonomy and distribution. The new species is characterized by profusely branched, creeping plants with leaves widely spreading to squarrose, imbricate, suborbicular to obovate with usually incurved, rounded to obtuse apex and mammillose leaf cells, often with a lenticular papilla on the dorsal surface. Further diagnostic characters, as well as comments on its distribution and similarities with related species, are given.

Eugenia caipora (Myrtaceae), a new species from northeastern Brazil, is here described; it occurs in restinga vegetation, Tabuleiros litorâneos (Tabuleiro savanna), and seasonal forests in Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas. The new species is morphologically similar to Eugenia azuruensis, though differing by the leaf blades abaxially glabrous to puberulent (vs. densely tomentose in E. azuruensis), non-mucronate (vs. mucronate), with flat margins (vs. revolute), calyx lobes 4–5 mm wide (vs. 6–10 mm), rounded at the apex (vs. apiculate), and petals 5–15 mm long (vs. 20–24 mm). A table of diagnostic characters for the new and related species and photographs of morphological diagnostic characters are provided.

The present study describes a new ground-beetle species (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Madeira island (type localities: FANAL and RIBEIRO BONITO), Orthomus (Nesorthomus) susanae Serrano & Borges, n. sp. Adults were sampled by means of pitfall traps. This work provides diagnostic characters, in particular the structure of male genitalia, and the distribution of this new species. Affinities to putative relatives and a key for the identification of males of the eight Orthomus (Nesorthomus) species of the Madeira island are also given.

A New Species

The crinipelloid genera Crinipellis and Moniliophthora (Agaricales, Marasmiaceae) are characterized by basidiomes that produce long, dextrinoid, hair-like elements on the pileus surface. Historically, most species are believed to be saprotrophic or, rarely, parasitic on plant hosts. The primary morphological diagnostic characters that separate Crinipellis and Moniliophthora are pliant vs. stiff (Crinipellis) stipes and a tendency toward production of reddish pigments (ranging from violet to orange) in the basidiome in Moniliophthora. Additionally, most species of Moniliophthora appear to have a biotrophic habit, while those of Crinipellis are predominantly saprotrophic. Recently, several new neotropical collections prompted a morphological and phylogenetic analysis of this group. Herein, we propose a new species and two new combinations: Moniliophthora mayarumsp. nov., described from Belize, is characterized by its larger pileus and narrower basidiospores relative to other related species; Moniliophthora ticoicomb. nov. (= Crinipellis ticoi) is recollected and redescribed from biotrophic collections from northern Argentina; and M. brasiliensiscomb. nov. (= Crinipellis brasiliensis), a parasite of Heteropterys acutifolia. The addition of these three parasitic species into Moniliophthora support a hypothesis of a primarily biotrophic/parasitic habit within this genus.

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.
