The taxonomic history of Phragmipedium × grande is traced to show that its current treatment as the cross between P. longifolium and P. humboldtii is untenable. According to our interpretation of the holotype and other materials prepared from specimens of the original cross, the name Phragmipedium × grande, as well as its counterpart, the orchid grex Phragmipedium Grande, have to be treated as the cross between P. longifolium and a species of sect. Phragmipedium from South America. The similarity of the flowers obtained crossing P. longifolium with P. caudatum and with P. warszewiczianum prevents, at this stage, a definitive statement about the original parentage of P. × grande, so it is advisable to treat it as the hybridizer originally stated, a cross of P. longifolium with the pollen of P. caudatum. This nothospecies cannot be formed under natural conditions, as the geographic ranges of the parental species do not overlap. The natural hybrid between Phragmipedium longifolium and P. humboldtii, previously reported from Panama and recorded here for the first time from Costa Rica, is described as P. × talamancanum. Full illustrations of the new nothospecies are provided.

We provide a taxonomic review of the “browni group”, a cloud forest lineage of the diverse lycaenid butterfly genus Penaincisalia, distributed from Costa Rica to northern Argentina. The group is characterized on the basis of five characters provided by wing shape, forewing androconia and genital structures. We distinguish eight species in the group: P. browni (Johnson, 1992), P. caeruleonota Hall & Willmott, 2005; P. cuiva Prieto & Rodriguez, 2007; P. magnifica (Johnson, 1992), P. purpurea (Johnson, 1992), P. saraha (Johnson, 1992), P. vittata (Johnson, 1992) and P. regala (Le Crom & Johnson, 1997). We confirm their status as presented in the recent Checklist of Neotropical Butterflies (Robbins, 2004), except for P. regala which is reinstated to species status from synonymy. The taxonomic history of each species with references to type material is provided. Every species is diagnosed, male and female phenotypes are associated, described and data on their distribution and biology are given. If relevant the variability of the species is discussed.

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.

This article considers the problem of the historical sources reflected in Blok’s drama “The Rose and the Cross”. It demonstrates that Blok’s marginalia in the books of his library serve as an indication of the unknown literary and historical sources of the “Notes” on the Albigensian crusade in the drama “The Rose and the Cross”, and can also be used in interpreting the symbolism of this drama. The marginal notes on the history of the Albigensian crusade that Blok made while working on the play are drawn on as a scholarly source for the first time. In the Appendice to the article facsimiles of Blok’s notes on the Albigensian crusade are published for the first time, accompanied by commentaries and a concordance.

Introduction: Isla del Coco is an important protected area for marine fauna in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. In this area, the species that inhabit the intertidal zone have been subject to few studies. One of the species inhabiting these areas is the clingfish Gobiesox adustus (Gobiesocidae). Objective: To analyze for the first time the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) of G. adustus’ population from Isla del Coco and compare it with those of continental coast of Costa Rica and Ecuador. Methods: We constructed a haplotype network for these samples. Genetic diversity, distance and structure were calculated by several software. The historical demography of Isla del Coco samples was assessed with the method Bayesian skyline plot as implemented in BEAST2. Results: The samples segregate into three haplogroups: one consisting of the Isla del Coco samples, a second consisting of a subset of the Ecuador samples, and a third consisting of Costa Rica and the remaining Ecuador samples. The genetic distances between the three haplogroups range between 1.6% and 2.1% (uncorrected p-distance), and pairwise ΦST and AMOVA results between the three haplogroups show high and significant values. Conclusions: The Isla del Coco haplogroup showed a Pleistocene population growth, which agrees with demographic patterns found in other marine organisms. The history of isolation of the G. adustus population from Isla del Coco demonstrates the evolutionary independence of this population.

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.

Based on the study of new collection material and literature data, the composition of the sea anemone fauna of the Kara Sea is described. It includes 13 species of 7 families. Among them are 10 species that have previously been known for this region: Urticina crassicornis (O.F. Muller, 1776), Aulactinia stella (Verrill, 1864), Hormathia digitata (O.F. Muller, 1776), Allantactis parasitica Danielssen, 1890, Actinostola callosa (Verrill, 1882), A. spetsbergensis (Carlgren, 1893), Anthosactis janmayeni Danielssen, 1890, Halcampa arctica Carlgren, 1893, Edwardsia arctica Carlgren, 1921, Ptychodactis patula Appellof, 1893, and 3 species reported for the Kara Sea for the first time: Cactosoma abyssorum Danielssen, 1890, Haliactis arctica Carlgren, 1921, and Edwardsia vitrea Danielssen, 1890. The ranges of the species are described. A detailed consideration of the species’ geographical distribution, determined by the temperature, depth and salinity, allows the anemones to be subdivided into 3 groups: a) inhabiting the shelf and associated with high salinity; b) eurybathic, associated with the high latitudes, high salinity and a narrow interval of low temperatures; c) the most widespread, withstanding desalination and low temperatures. The geographic ranges of epibenthic polyps of the infraorder Thenaria have now been thoroughly studied, but the distribution of the representatives of the infraorder Athenaria in Arctic is known only from several finds. The distribution of the only Arctic representative of the suborder Ptychodacteae, Ptychodactis patula, is known from a fairly large number of finds, but its habitat requirements are little known. Therefore, our reasoning about the sources of the formation of the Kara Sea fauna is based mainly on the data derived from the thenarians. Our analysis has confirmed the participation of the species of Atlantic origin, most resistant to low temperatures, in the formation of the Kara Sea fauna, but no convincing evidence has been found for the participation of Pacific elements in the settlement of this region.

The memoirs which follow, resulted from three extensive interviews (on 22 and 23 May 2004 in Nîmes, France, and on 23 July 2004 in London); the transcripts were then edited and submitted to Mr Cohan for amendment and approval. The text that follows is a full encapsulation of what was said, apart from a lengthy excursus on orientalism in Miss Graham's work and a shorter one on improvisation in dance. This is a personal account, not a connected history of Mr Cohan's activities: many episodes from a long and varied life in dance were not encompassed in the interviews, notably the dance company Robert Cohan formed after he left the Graham Company for the first time and the work in Broadway musicals that he also undertook at this stage of his performing career. The commentary on the Graham repertory and that of London Contemporary Dance Theatre (LCDT) is also indicative rather than exhaustive. Robert Cohan is aware of major episodes from the Graham years – such as the first Asian Tour – that form no part of this account. Similarly, he does not seek to retrace the ground so amply covered in the history of London Contemporary Dance Theatre. On the other hand, some of the subjects that did come up, have been discussed before – usually with some differences of emphasis or detail. But it is worth recalling in this regard that memory can exercise a refining and a condensing, as well, sometimes, as a distorting influence. In establishing the ‘truth’ about any matter it is as useful to have several accounts by the same witness as it is to have one account by several witnesses – just as in an epistolary novel by Richardson, an event looked at and described by the same person several times or by a number of different people, can produce a richer version of ‘reality’ than a single ‘definitive’ statement. Although every attempt has been made to rectify errors of minor detail, the decision has been taken not to provide any scholarly notes to the text. This contribution to the journal is best received as a primary historical document. Those seeking a chronological account of the events mentioned in the text, or further guidance on matters of detail, are referred to the standard works.

The paper provides new data on systematics and host associations of feather mites of the subfamily Proctophyllodinae (Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) recorded on passerine birds (Passeriformes) in Costa Rica. A total of 25 proctophyllodine species of six genera have been recorded, of which 19 new species are described: Anisophyllodes cuneiformis sp. n. from Sittasomus griseicapillus (Vieillot) (Furnariidae), Atrichophyllodes latilobus sp. n. from Hylophylax naevioides (Lafresnaye) (Thamnophilidae), Nycteridocaulus attila sp. n. from Attila spadiceus (Gmelin, JF) (Tyrannidae), N. hylophylax sp. n. from Hylophylax naevioides (Lafresnaye) (Thamnophilidae), N. ketourus sp. n. from Thryophilus rufalbus (Lafresnaye) (Troglodytidae), N. leptopogoni sp. n. from Leptopogon superciliaris Tschudi (Tyrannidae), N. myiobius sp. n. from Myiobius sulphureipygius (Sclater, PL) (Tyrannidae), N. myioborus sp. n. from Myioborus miniatus (Swainson) (Parulidae), N. platyrinchi sp. n. from Platyrinchus cancrominus Sclater, PL and Salvin (Tyrannidae), Platyacarus caulifer sp. n. from Glyphorynchus spirurus (Vieillot) (Furnariidae), Pl. dendrocinclae sp. n. from Dendrocincla homochroa (Scalter, PL) (Furnariidae), Pl. dendrocolapti sp. n. and Pl. picumnus sp. n. from Dendrocolaptes picumnus Lichtenstein, MHK (Furnariidae), Pl. sclerurus sp. n. from Sclerurus mexicanus Sclater, PL (Furnariidae), Proctophyllodes arremoni sp. n. from Arremon brunneinucha (Lafresnaye) (Emberizidae), Pr. euphoniae sp. n. from Euphonia hirundinacea Bonaparte (Fringillidae), Pr. vesicularis sp. n. from E. anneae Cassin (Fringillidae), Pr. parkesiae sp. n. from Parkesia motacilla (Vieillot) (Parulidae), and Pr. strictophyllus sp. n. from Coereba flaveola (Linnaeus) (Thraupidae). The female of Anisophyllodes pipromorphae Atyeo, 1967, previously known from two forms of males only, is described for the first time.        Five new host associations are recorded for the following mites: Anisophyllodes pipromorphae from Mionectes olivaceus Lawrence (Tyrannidae), Diproctophyllodes dielytra (Trouessart, 1885) from Chiroxiphia linearis (Bonaparte) and Corapipo altera Hellmayr (Pipridae), Nycteridocaulus pectinatus Atyeo, 1966 from Tolmomyias sulphurescens (von Spix) (Tyrannidae), and Proctophyllodes thraupis Atyeo and Braasch, 1966 from Tangara icterocephala (Bonaparte) (Thraupidae).        Two species, Proctophyllodes habiae Atyeo and Braasch, 1966 from Habia rubica (Vieillot) (Cardinalidae) and Platyacarus sittasomi Hernandes et al., 2007 from Sittasomus griseicapillus (Vieillot) (Furnariidae), are recorded in Costa Rica for the first time.        New diagnoses and keys to all currently known species are provided for the genera Anisophyllodes Atyeo, 1967, Atrichophyllodes Hernandes et al., 2007, Nycteridocaulus Atyeo, 1966, and Platyacarus Kudon, 1982. Two new species groups, caulifer and minor, are established within the genus Platyacarus. The history of taxonomic investigations of proctophyllodine feather mites is briefly presented. We summarize host associations with passerine birds of the New World for these proctophyllodine genera and species, excluding the genus Proctophyllodes.
