The taxonomic history of Bumba Pérez-Miles, Bonaldo & Miglio, 2014 is mainly based on the inclusion of the new species. Bumba have been characterized by the type IV urticating setae present, retrolateral process on male palpal tibia, palpal bulb resting in a ventral distal excavation of palpal tibia, metatarsus I passes between the two branches of tibial apophysis when flexed, presence of spiniform setae on prolateral and retrolateral sides of maxillae and coxae I-IV. In this paper we include the row of teeth (denticulate row) in the median region of the inferior prolateral keel in all male palps. This structure range from a residual tooth to a ridge of up to five teeth. Both, the denticulate row and the retrolateral process on male palpal tibia in males could be considered as putative synapomorphies for Bumba. Here, Homoeomma humile Vellard, 1924 is transferred to Bumba and redescribed, while the female is described for the first time. Bumba cabocla (Pérez-Miles, 2000) is synonymyzed with B. horrida (Schmidt, 1994). Bumba pulcherrimaklaasi (Schmidt, 1991) is transferred to Cyclosternum Ausserer, 1871. Four new species are described and illustrated: Bumba tapajossp. nov. from state of Pará, Bumba cuiabasp. nov. and Bumba rondoniasp. nov., both from states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso, respectively, and Bumba mineirossp. nov. from Paraguay and the Brazilian states of Goiás, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Diagnosis of B. horrida and B. lennoni are extended and figures of this species are presented.

The original description of Elapomorphus wuchereri Günther, 1861 included a drawing and brief comments about the morphology of three specimens; two of the latter belong to another species and the holotype is lost. Based on the discovery of new specimens, we redescribe Elapomorphus wuchereri and designate a neotype. We discuss the variation and the taxonomic history of the species, and based on the results of a species distribution model analysis (SDM), we describe the distribution, extent of occurrence, and conservation status.

The genus Eilica Keyserling, 1891 is worldwide distributed including 28 species (Platnick, 2011). South American Eilica are represented by 10 species of which seven are known by more meridional distribution: E. amambay Platnick, 1985; E. maculipes (Vellard, 1925); E. modesta Keyserling, 1891 E. myrmecophila (Simon, 1903); E. pomposa Medan, 2001; E. trilineata (Mello-Leitão, 1941) and E. uniformis (Schiapelli & Gerschman, 1942). Eilica pomposa was described from Argentina based on only two known males collected around 1000 km apart from each other in a considered suspect wide distribution by Medan (2001:404). In this paper we describe and illustrate for the first time the female of E. pomposa and present notes on its natural history and distribution.

Pedicularis L. series Curvipes (Prain) Hurus. (=Pedicularis [unranked] Curvipes Prain) in the Orobanchaceae (often included in the Scrophulariaceae s.l.) is revised. It is demonstrated that the correct name for the series is Pedicularis ser. Curvipes, not Pedicularis ser. Curvipedes as used by at least two previous authors. Arguments are presented for the retention of the three existing species, Pedicularis curvipes Prain, Pedicularis nagaensis H.L.Li and Pedicularis amplicollis T.Yamaz., and the taxonomic history of each is summarized. Pedicularis curvipes from Sikkim and Pedicularis nagaensis from NE India are very similar but can be distinguished on corolla and seed characters. Flowering material of Pedicularis curvipes collected from cultivated material of uncertain origin in 1900 is positively identified as that species for the first time. The known geographical range of Pedicularis nagaensis, which was previously believed to be endemic to a restricted area of Nagaland in NE India, is extended to include Manipur. Pedicularis amplicollis from Bhutan is distinct from both the other two and easily separable by its woolly, 4-lobed calyx. A key to the series and formal taxonomic accounts of each species are provided. The relationships of the series with related series, particularly Pedicularis ser. Furfuraceae, are discussed.

A revision of the genus Beilschmiedia (Lauraceae) from Thailand and Indochina is presented with a summary of its taxonomic history, plus keys, full descriptions of each species, distribution maps, conservation assessments, ecological information, ethno-botanical notes and a discussion of its morphology. In this treatment, 21 species are recognized; 14 names are lectotypified (B. argentata, B. balansae, B. balansae var. muticarpa, B. clarkei, B. elegantissima, B. ferruginea, B. globularia, B. glomerata var. tonkinensis, B. lucidula, B. obovalifoliosa, B. palembanica, B. poilanei, B. sphaerocarpa and B. wightii), five names are placed into synonymy for the first time, and B. laotica Kosterm. ex de Kok is validly published here for the first time. In addition, one new variety (B. percoriacea var. percoriacea de Kok) is proposed and one new combination (B. percoriacea var. glaucoides de Kok) is made. Nine species are considered to be Least Concern, one is Critically Endangered, five are Endangered, and five are listed as Vulnerable.

Shuaiba Formation is an important formation in Iraq, because of their deposition in the important period during the geological history of Arabian plate. The study is focused on a number of selected wells from several fields in southern Iraq, despite the many of oil studies to Shuaiba Formation but it lacks to paleontological studies. Four selected wells are chosen for the current study, Zb-290, Ru-358, R-624, WQ1-353, the selected wells are located within different fields, these are Zubair, Rumaila and West Qurna Oil Fields. In this study fourteen species followed to genus Hedbergella were discovered for first time as well as three genera followed to genus Heterohelix in the Shuaiba Formation at the different oil fields, Hedbergella tunisiensis Range Zone is suggested biozone to the current study, the age of this biozone is Aptian, most of the other genera located within this zone.

Sarconema Filiforme

The taxonomic history of the genus Gracilaria in Australia is reviewed, and nine species are described and illustrated in detail. Two (G. comosa and G. stipitata) are newly described, and the new name G. cliftonii is proposed for the species previously known as G. furcellata Harvey [non G. furcellata (Montagne) Zanardini = Sarconema filiforme (Sonder) Kylin]. New records and observations are given for four species [G. harveyana J.Agardh, G. preissiana (Sonder) Womersley, G. salicornia (C.Agardh) Dawson, and G. urvillei (Montagne) Abbott in Abbott, Zhang & Xia], and two species [G. blodgettii Harvey and G. cf. vieillardii Silva in Silva, Menez & Moe] are added to the Australian flora. An additional seven or eight species that are incompletely known also occur on the continent and are briefly discussed but not illustrated. For nomenclatural and anatomical reasons we propose that G. spinulosa (Okamura) Chang & Xia forma srilankia Chang & Xia, based on G. purpurascens Harvey ex J. Agardh [non G. purpurascens (Hudson) Greville = Cystoclonium purpurascens (Hudson) Kutzing] and not yet recorded from Australia, be elevated to species status as G. srilankia (Chang & Xia) comb. nov. We propose that Gracilaria harveyana J. Agardh 1885 be conserved against Polyides flagelliformis Sonder 1845, which Professor H.B.S. Womersley has determined is an obscure but earlier name for this well-known Western Australian species.

Trichodischia Bigot, 1885 is a Neotropical genus with a confusing taxonomic history. This was initially composed of two species: T. caerulea Bigot, 1885 and T. soror Bigot, 1885. Later, the genus Trichoraea Cortés, 1974 was erected for T. caerulea. When reviewing the taxonomic history of both species, we discovered that both genera have been considered synonymous based on erroneous information and without a formal synonymy being proposed. Herein, we redescribed T. soror, provide images of adults and describe the male terminalia for the first time. In addition, by examining the type material, we propose Trichoraea as a junior synonym of Trichodischia, syn. nov., confirm T. caerulea comb. rest. and T. soror as valid species and provide some comments about the taxonomy and host record of the genus.
