(Taxonomic notes on Leandra (Melastomataceae, Miconieae) - II). In this study we propose 12 synonyms, 15 lectotypes and a new name for eastern Brazilian species of Leandra. Leandra pubescens var. tomentosa is placed in the synonymy of Clidemia atrata; Leandra laxa in the synonymy of L. eriocalyx; Leandra sessiliflora in the synonym of L. glabrata; Leandra longisetosa in the synonymy of L. multiplinervis; Leandra balduinii, L. pauloensis and L. schwackei in the synonymy of L. regnellii; Leandra linearifolia and L. parvifolia in the synonymy of L. salicina; Leandra pubescens var. pubescens in the synonymy of L. strigilliflora; Leandra gardneriana and L. depauperata in the synonymy of L. xantholasia. We propose lectotypes for C. atrata, L. depauperata, L. gardneriana, L. glabrata, L. laxa, L. linearifolia, L. longisetosa, L. multiplinervis, L. parvifolia, L. pauloensis, L. pubescens var. pubescens, L. pubescens var. tomentosa, L. regnellii, L. sessiliflora, and L. xantholasia. A new name is proposed to correct a mistake recently made in the taxonomic revision of Leandra sect. Leandra.

Desmodium is characterized mainly by lilac flowers arranged in pseudoracemose inflorescences, stamens monadelphous or diadelphous and a lomentaceous fruit generally covered by uncinate hairs. A taxonomic revision of the Brazilian species was carried out based on the analysis of 3,000 herbarium specimens, including all nomeclatural types. Field trips to the most species-rich areas of Desmodium in Brazil were undertaken, resulting in the sampling of 29 out of the 34 species recognised for  the country. We recognise 101 names as synonyms, 27 of which are new. Lectotypes were designated for 60 accepted names and synonyms, and two neotypes and one epitype were chosen. A new combination is proposed for Meibomia microcarpa, as well as a new name for Meibomia guaranitica var. microcarpa. Desmodium album is a new  record for Brazil, and D. craspediferum, D. glabrescens and D. juruenense, previously known only by type collections, were recollected during this study. All species are described, mapped and illustrated. An identification key, and comments on taxonomy and nomenclature are provided.

A recent molecular based phylogeny (Borchsenius et al. 2012) redefined the genus Goeppertia Nees (1831: 337) to include all the subgenera of Calathea Meyer (1818: 6) proposed by Schumann (1902) with the exception of C. subgenus Calathea Körnicke (1862: 112). As a result, several species of Calathea recently described were transferred to Goeppertia (Braga 2014). Similarly, a taxonomic revision of the Brazilian species, currently carried out by the first author, led to the conclusion that Calathea polytricha Baker (1894: 497) should be combined in Goeppertia. This species features the synapomorphies of Goeppertia, such as simple inflorescences and corolla lobes straight to spreading, and belongs to Schumann’s subgenus Pseudophrynium Körnicke (1862: 113). During the taxonomic revision, other names have been considered synonyms and are typified here.

Abstract. INTRODUCTIONTrochamminoides elegans (Grzybowski) [= Trochammina elegans Grzybowski, 1898] is a familiar species that is commonly recorded from the Paleogene of the Carpathian flysch. However, during the course of work on a taxonomic revision of the Grzybowski Collection, it has become apparent that the name of this taxon is in actuality, invalid.The designation Trochammina elegans was first used by Rzehak (1887), but since the name only appeared in a table (without a description or illustration) the name is unavailable under Article 12 of the ICZN. Grzybowski (1898), who had received specimens from Rzehak, referred to this species as “Trochammina elegans Rzehak”, but the authorship of the species belongs to Grzybowski under Article 50 of the ICZN. Grzybowski (1898) described Trochammina elegans as follows: Test agglutinated, surface rough; circular in outline, spirally coiled in two and one-half to three whorls. Chambers spherical, increasing in size, numerous, with depressed sutures; there are thirteen to fifteen of them in the last whorl. Aperture at the lower edge of the last chamber, just above the rounded periphery. Diameter 1.3 mm.However, transferring the authorship of this species makes Trochammina elegans Grzybowski, 1898 a primary junior homonym of Trochammina elegans Egger, 1893 (Article 53c of the ICZN). As such, the name must be permanently rejected (Article 52a). Because no junior synonym exists, we propose the replacement name Trochamminoides grzybowskii Kaminski &amp; Geroch, nom. nov.SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTIONSuborder:Textulariina Delage &amp; Herouard, 1896Genus: Trochamminaides Cushman, 1910Trochamminoides grzybowskii Kaminski &amp; Geroch, nom.nov. for Trochammina elegans. . .

A taxonomic revision of the Brazilian species of Encyclia is presented, based on analysis of roughly 1,400 herbarium specimens, including types. Thirty-nine species and one variety are listed for Brazil; we indicate 101 synonyms, of which eight are newly proposed. Lectotypes are chosen for five names (E. chironii, E. dutrae, E. paraënsis, E. tripartita and Epidendrum capartianum), including accepted names and synonyms. Two names are indicated as invalid (E. randii var. rondoniensis and E. vazzoleri), one name as a nomen nudum (E. guesneliana) and another as superfluous (Epidendrum pabstii). The occurrence of E. auyantepuiensis and E. thienii is confirmed for Brazil, and new occurrences are documented of E. fimbriata in Minas Gerais (in addition to Bahia) and E. linearifolioides in Maranhão and possibly Paraná (in addition to Matto Grosso and Tocatins States and Bolivia and Paraguay). All species are described and illustrated, and distribution maps are included. For both varieties of E. patens, nomenclatural and taxonomic notes are provided.

Adults and larvae of Aleochara are found in fly-infested habitats, where the larvae are ectoparasitoids of fly pupae. There are three subgenera recorded in Brazil. This study provides a taxonomic revision of Brazilian species of the subgenus Aleochara. As a result, we recognize seven species in Brazil, A. bonariensis Lynch, A. bugnioni Fauvel, A. lustrica Say, A. chrysorrhoa Erichson and three species described by Sharp: A. auricoma, A. mundana and A. prisca. Redescriptions and illustrations of the male and female genitalia are provided for all species. Nomenclatural changes: A. bugnioni is considered a new junior synonym of A. lateralis Erichson, and A. pseudochrysorrhoa Caron, Mise & Klimaszewski is a new junior synonymy of A. bonariensis. In addition, the type of A. verecunda Sharp, was not studied and the name is considered as species inquirenda, while A. curtula (Goeze) is not confirmed in Brazil and its Neotropical records is discussed. Finally, a key to species is provided and an updated checklist of the Brazilian species of Aleochara (Aleochara), including synonyms, is compiled.

Taxonomic Changes

Abstract. Since the publication of An Atlas of British Recent Foraminiferids (Murray, 1971) there have been many taxonomic changes. Some result from the revised generic classification summarized by Loeblich &amp; Tappan (1987), some from later taxonomic revision, while others are corrections. In the following list, the name used in 1971 is followed by the revised name. Where the generic assignment is after Loeblich &amp; Tappan (1987) the new name is listed without a reference. OD stands for original designation, i.e. the species is type of the genus. Brief explanations are given as appropriate.Pl. 1: Reophax scottii Chaster = Leptohalysis scottii (Chaster); thin, delicate and flexible test.Pl. 4: Cribrostomoides jeffreysii (Williamson) = Veleroninoides jeffreysii (Williamson); evolute planispiral test with interio-areal aperture (Jones et al., 1993)Pl. 8: Textularia sagittula Defrance group: as was noted on p. 31, this is a complex of variable forms. It includes Textularia bocki Höglund, Spirorutilis wrighti (Silvestri), and Textularia spp. 1–3 of Banner &amp; Pereira (1981).Pl. 9: Textularia earlandi Parker = Morulaeplecta bulbosa Höglund; streptospiral initial end.Pl. 10: Trochammina globigeriniformis (Parker &amp; Jones) var. pygmaea Höglund = Portatrochammina murrayi Brönnimann &amp; Zaninetti, 1984; distinguished from T. g. var. pygmaea (apertural slit without a lip) by having a slit-shaped aperture ‘which extends below the border of the umbilical flap from the first chamber of the final whorl to the penultimate chamber’.Pl. 11: Trochammina ochracea (Williamson) = Lepidodeuterammina ochracea (Williamson); OD.Pl. 12: Trochammina rotaliformis Heron-Allen &amp; Earland = Deuterammina sp.; according to Brönnimann . . .

Until recently, Malthonica lusitanica Simon, 1898 was the only species of the genus to be known from the Iberian Peninsula. Due to intensive fieldwork made in Portugal, a new undescribed species was found, here described as Malthonica oceanica sp. n. This work provides a taxonomic revision of the genus Malthonica Simon, 1898 in the Iberian Peninsula (excluding the Balearic Islands) and gives a first account on the potential distribution and phenology of both species.

The taxonomy of the Australian representatives of Heliotropium (Boraginaceae) is revised in the first comprehensive treatment of the genus of the genus for Australian since the publication in 1868 of Bentha's 'Flora Australiensis' account. Eighty-one species are recognised for the area, of which 78 are regarded as indigenous (75 endemic) with the remaining three species believed to be of recent introduction. Of the 51 new names proposed, 50 are the result of the description of new species. The remaining new name is required due to a change in status. Biological aspects briefly mentioned include breeding system and myrmecochoty.

Abstract We present results related to the taxonomic revision of Psittacanthus (Loranthaceae) for “Flora do Brasil 2020”. Three new records were found: Psittacanthus kempffii to Rondônia, P. lasianthus to Roraima, and P. truncatus to Mato Grosso. Twelve new synonyms are proposed here: P. carnosus, P. crassipes and P. pustullosus (synonyms for P. acinarius), P. duckei (for P. biternatus), P. baguensis (for P. crassifolius, P. salvadorensis (for P. excrenulatus), P. bergii (for P. grandifolius, P. brachypodus, P. leptanthus and P. redactus (for P. lamprophyllus), P. acevedoi and P. rugostylus (for P. plagiophyllus). Three lectotypes are designated: for P. lasianthus, P. rugostylus and P. biternatus, which makes the neotype previously designated for P. biternatus superfluous. The type-specimen of P. formosus (synonym of P. robustus) was recently found. We propose an identification key for the 33 Brazilian species, with illustrations of the main characters used.
