We describe, illustrate and compare three new Brazilian species of Senegalia from the Atlantic Forest domain: Senegalia atlantica, from Rio de Janeiro State; Senegalia rafinesqueana, from the state of Paraná; and Senegalia cupuliformis, from Bahia State. These species are morphologically most similar to S. tenuifolia and S. multipinnata, S. velutina, and S. kuhlmannii, respectively. Additionally, we provide an identification key to all Senegalia species that are morphologically similar to S. atlantica, S. rafinesqueana and S. cupuliformis and occur in the Atlantic Forest domain; we also provide comments on the geographic distribution and the flowering and fruiting period of S. atlantica, S. rafinesqueana and S. cupuliformis.

Three new species of Otostigmus Porat, 1876 from Brazilian Atlantic Forest are described. Otostigmus beckeri sp. n. andO. lanceolatus sp. n. are described from the state of Bahia and O. giupponii sp. n. from the state of Espírito Santo. InBrazil, the otostigmine scolopendrid genus Otostigmus comprises 22 species. A summary of Brazilian Otostigmus speciesis presented with new distribution records, taxonomic remarks when appropriate and an identification key. Otostigmus sul-catus Meinert, 1886 is recorded for the first time from Brazil; the Andean Otostigmus silvestrii Kraepelin 1903, previouslyrecorded from Brazil, is here considered not to be present in this country. Eight nominal species are regarded here as newsynonyms. Five of them—Otostigmus pradoi Bücherl, 1939, O. longistigma Bücherl, 1939, O. longipes Bücherl, 1939,O. langei Bücherl, 1946 and O. dentifusus Bücherl, 1946—are based on females of O. tibialis Brölemann, 1902. O. latipesBücherl, 1954 is conspecific with and is considered a junior synonym of O. sulcatus Meinert, 1886; O. limbatus diminutusBücherl, 1946 is a junior synonym of O. limbatus Meinert, 1886 and O. fossulatus Attems, 1928 is a junior synonym of O. goeldii Brölemann, 1898. A lectotype is designated for O. goeldii.

This is the first surveillance of calcareous sponges (Porifera, Calcarea) from Ilha Grande Bay in the Southwest coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Two islands were surveyed and the description of the calcareous sponges collected is presented here. A total of 98 specimens were collected, from five species. Clathrina aspina has its geographic distribution extended to the South of Rio de Janeiro state; Sycettusa cf. hastifera, a species from the Red Sea, and previously cited to the North of Rio de Janeiro state, was now found in Ilha Grande Bay; three new species to science are being described here: Clathrina angraensis sp. nov., Leucandra serrata sp. nov., and Paraleucilla perlucida sp. nov.

Ochrotrichia, with about 160 extant species in the New World, is the most diverse genus assigned to the Ochrotrichiinae. Despite its diversity, only eight species were previously recorded from Brazil, only one from Rio de Janeiro state. In this paper, we describe three new species from Parque Nacional da Tijuca, an Atlantic Forest area at Rio de Janeiro. Ochrotrichia nematomorpha sp. nov. is placed within the O. xena Group, having a plate-like tergum X, with an unusual phallus which is slender and pointed apically. Ochrotrichia sagitta sp. nov. and O. taunay sp. nov. belong to the O. aldama Group, each having a divided tergum X, but being distinguished from the others in this group by the arrowhead-like apex of left lateral process of tergum X (O. sagitta) and the presence of two dorsal spine-like projections on tergum X (O. taunay). Furthermore, O. caatinga Souza, Santos & Takiya, 2014 is reported for the first time from Rio de Janeiro state.

The Brazilian species of Bittacus Latreille (Mecoptera: Bittacidae) are reviewed and one new synonym is proposed (Thyridates willmanni Collucci & Amorin syn. n. of Bittacus diversinervis Souza Lopes & Mangabeira). Three new species are herein described: Bittacus cruzi sp. n. from Amazonas, Presidente Figueiredo and Manaus, B. ferreirai sp. n. from Bahia, Aracatu and B. varzeanus sp. n. from Amazonas, Tefé, bringing the current number of Bittacus species in Brazil to 18. Illustrations, comments, and distribution maps of each species are presented. An identification key to the Brazilian genera of Mecoptera and Bittacus species is also presented.
