Pygmaeorchis Brade (1939: 42) is a rare genus endemic to the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. The two known species are exclusively found in the montane areas of the Minas Gerais (MG) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ) states (Withner 1990, van den Berg 2006). The first species to be recognized, Pygmaeorchis brasiliensis Brade (1939: 43), was described on the basis of collections made in the rainforests at Serra dos Órgãos and Itatiaia (RJ). While the second, P. seidelii Toscano de Brito & Moutinho Neto (1981: 194), was found as an epiphyte on Velloziaceae in Ouro Preto (MG) (Fig. 1).

Only three of the 12 recognized species of Trachycephalus Tschudi (Frost 2011) present an occipital crest— Trachycephalus atlas Bokermann, T. nigromaculatus Tschudi, and T. jordani (Stejneger and Test). The latter species is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Trachycephalus nigromaculatus is found in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais, and southern Bahia states, while T. atlas is restricted primarily to the Caatinga of the Brazilian Northeast (Frost 2011), but overlaps with T. nigromaculatus in the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia. The two species can be differentiated by the more pronounced posterior cephalic plate, wider inter-orbital distance, and lower and wider head in T. atlas (Bokermann 1966). Herein we describe the acoustic characteristics of advertisement call of T. atlas and compared with other Trachycephalus species.

A New Species

Tovomita iaspidis, a new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is described, illustrated, and its morphological affinities with other species and its diagnostic characters are discussed. The new species is similar to Tovomita glazioviana, from which it can be distinguished by having greenish patent petals and larger and reddish pistillode in the staminate flowers. While T. glazioviana is found in the Atlantic Forest in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro, T. iaspidis is so far only known from two small remnant areas of montane forest in southern Bahia State, Brazil.

Taxonomic Studies

The genus Bokermannohyla Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell & Wheeler, 2005 currently comprises 29 species that are distributed in the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes of Brazil (Faivovich et al. 2009; Frost 2010; Napoli & Pimenta 2009). This genus has recently been erected to accommodate the former Hyla circumdata, Hyla claresignata, Hyla martinsi, and Hyla pseudopseudis species groups (Faivovich et al. 2005). The Bokermannohyla circumdata group is composed by seventeen species (Table 1), all occurring mainly in mountain stream habitats in the Atlantic Rainforest, being the dark vertical stripes on the posterior surface of the thigh a putative morphological synapomorphy of this group (Heyer 1985). Despite the importance of larval characters for phylogenetic and taxonomic studies (e.g. Haas 2003), tadpoles of only seven species are formally described for this group (Table 1). Herein we describe the tadpole of B. gouveai known only from habitats above 1800 m (IUCN, 2010) in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, States of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil.

The larva and pupa of Nilio (Linio) lanatus Germar, 1824 are described and illustrated. The larva of Nilio (L.) lanatus differs from the other known larvae of the genus mainly by the body elongate covered with black and white hairs, the head with four stemmata and the mesothorax with one pair of ventral annular spiracles. Biological observations were made in Atlantic Forest, in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

Caayguara gen. nov. is described to include Olios albus Mello-Leitão, 1918 and eleven new species, namely Caayguara pinda sp. nov., from Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo; C. juati sp. nov. and C. apiaba sp. nov., from Bahia, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo; C. ajuba sp. nov., from Bahia and Espírito Santo; C. cupepemassu sp. nov., from Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul; C. cupepemayri sp. nov. and C. atyaia sp. nov., from Rio de Janeiro; C. itajucamussi sp. nov., C. ybytyriguara sp. nov., C. poi sp. nov. and C. catuoca sp. nov., from São Paulo. The genus seems to be restricted to the Atlantic Forest biome and can be easily distinguished from other Neotropical huntsman genera by the presence of intermarginal denticles on the chelicerae, only two pairs of spines on ventral tibiae and one lateral spine on metatarsi I–II, by the male palps with RTA arising from medial to basal retrolateral tibiae and emboli with keels and projections, and by the female vulvae with the median part of copulatory ducts expanded, forming a sac-like structure, and the posterior part with several linearly arranged lobes. In addition, Olios albus is redescribed and the female described for the first time.
