A New Species

Lippia mantiqueirae, a new Verbenaceae species endemic to the campos de altitude of Serra da Mantiqueira in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically most similar to Lippia triplinervis, but can be distinguished by presenting petiolate leaves, ovate, oval-elliptic or obovate blades with cuneate base, 3-6 pairs of suprabasal secondary veins and unequal bracts, the external oblong-elliptical and the internal lanceolate. Additionally, distribution map, habitat information, field photographs and conservation assessment are provided for the new species.

A New Species

Baccharis magnifica, a new species endemic to the summits of the Serra do Caparaó along the border between Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, is described. The new species is easily recognized by its shrubby habit, showy green and slightly wine-tinged, long-petiolate leaves with ciliate margins and corymbiform capitulescences. It is morphologically most similar to the allopatric B. macrophylla, which inhabits the mountain summits of the southerly Serra da Mantiqueira range. Illustrations, a distribution map, habitat information, and a conservation assessment are also provided for the new species.

A new species, Praxelis minima, is described from the Minas Gerais State, Brazil. It appears to be closely related to P. kleinioides; illustrations, comments, distribution map, and conservation status for the new species are provided. Additionaly a new combination, P. decumbens based on Chromolaena decumbens, is proposed because of its conical receptacle and conspicuously asymmetrical carpopodium. A key to the species of Praxelis occurring in Minas Gerais is provided.

A New Species

Abstract—Fritzschia atropurpurea, an endemic new species from the Serra do Cipó, Espinhaço Range, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, is described and illustrated. This new species can be easily differentiated from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: hirsute-glandular trichomes covering the branches, petioles, leaves, bracteoles, pedicels, hypanthium, sepals, and the medial-apical portion of the right margin of the petals; membranaceous leaves with a dark purple abaxial surface; and long pedicels. Images from scanning electron microscopy, photos of the species in the field, a distribution map, and a key to identify the congeners that occur in the Serra do Cipó are presented. We suggest that if a formal assessment were performed, Fritzschia atropurpurea would probably be categorized as an Endangered (EN) species.

A New Species

The southeastern Brazilian phytophysiognomy of “campos de altitude” is threatened by the global temperature increase, and because of it, many of its endemic species, such as those of the Asteraceae family, may disappear over the next years. This new species, which occurs in this type of environment, belongs to the genus Heterocondylus (Eupatorieae: Asteraceae), which comprises seven species, mainly with South American distribution. This genus is morphologically variable but all its species share the diagnostic characters, such as: enlarged basal style with variable indumentum, and cypselae with an asymmetrical carpopodium composed of cells with thickened walls. Heterocondylus penninervius is described as a new species from the “campos de altitude” in Serra do Brigadeiro, Araponga municipality, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The species is recognized by its sessile leaves concentrated in the lower part of the stem, with narrow-elliptical to narrow-lanceolate blade and penninerved leaves, as well as broad capitula with white and pinkish phyllaries. This study provides the description, illustration, taxonomic affinities, flowering and fruiting period and geographic distribution of the species.

Solanummedusaesp. nov. is described from the Cerrado biome in the Serra da Canastra region, southwestern Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The new species is morphologically similar to the common S.lycocarpum A.St.-Hil. (known as lobeira or wolf-fruit), but differs from it in habit and pubescence characters. We here describe this new taxon and discuss its morphology, some aspects of its ecology, affinities and distribution. Full specimen citations are provided, as well as illustrations, distribution map and a preliminary conservation assessment of the species. A key to all of the known extra-Amazonian Brazilian species of the Androceras/Crinitum clade is also provided to aid in their identification.

Microvelia joceliae Magalhães & Moreira, sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on material from Parque Natural Municipal das Andorinhas, Minas Gerais State, in southeastern Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from congeners occurring in the region by the pronotum of the apterous form covering almost the entire thorax dorsally, proepisternum with black denticles, male abdominal segments V–VII ventrally depressed, shape of the asymmetrical parameres, and female abdominal laterotergites reflected over the mediotergites and almost touching over segments V–VII.

A new species, Calea arachnoidea, which belongs to Calea sect. Meyeria, is hereby described and illustrated. This species occurs in the Serra Negra region, located in the southern portion of the “Zona da Mata” in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. Calea arachnoidea resembles C. quadrifolia, C. heteropappa and C. semirii, and its relationships with these species are discussed and an identification key for the species of C. sect. Meyeria in the state of Minas Gerais is provided. Additionally, photographs, a distribution map, comments about habitat and conservation status are provided.

Abstract A new species of harpacticoid copepod, genus Forficatocaris (F. odeteae n. sp.) is described from a high-altitude pond at the Itacolomi National Park near Ouro Preto city, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The main characters distinguishing the new species from F. affinis Dussart, 1983 and F. lilianae Noodt, 1972 are: (i) distal portion of exopod 1 of male leg 4 with stout spinules; (ii) male leg 5 lateral spine stout and with blunt apex; (iii) endopod of leg 4 curved outwards, but “c” shaped (not forming a straight angle); (iv) female with dorsal spinule row on anal somite larger than in congeners, ventral ornaments smaller and less numerous; and (v) the shape of the modified spine located at the leg 1 endopod 1 of the male; and (vi) the spine of leg 5 in males and females.
