A new legume species, Erythrostemon sousanus, from seasonally dry forest of the Río Papagayo Basin in Guerrero, Mexico is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to E. mexicanus, from which it is distinguished by its glabrous leaves with a greater number of pairs of pinnae (6–11 vs 5–7) and each pinna with more pairs of leaflets (5–7 vs 2–4); by flowers, inflorescences and fruits densely pubescent; and by larger flowers (13–17 vs 12 mm long), fruits (8 × 2 vs 4 × 1.5 cm) and seeds (12 × 9 × 2 vs 9–10 × 7.5 ×1.5 mm).

Background and Aims: In Mexico, Coulteria is a morphologically diverse genus, having many endemic species in the country. Despite its diversity, species delimitation and circumscription are not fully documented. Botanical explorations in central Mexico during the last 25 years have resulted in the discovery of several new legume taxa in the Río Balsas Depression. A new species of Coulteria from the Western Río Balsas Depression is here described and illustrated.Methods: During fieldwork, morphological studies and electron microscopy analysis of the already species described of Coulteria, we detected a new species in the Infiernillo area of Guerrero and Michoacán, Mexico. For the new species, we estimated its conservation status based on extent of occurrence (EOO) and its area of occupancy (AOO) using the GeoCAT software, applying the categories and criteria of the IUCN Red List.Key results: Coulteria delgadoana, a new species of Caesalpinioideae endemic to the seasonally dry forest of Guerrero and Michoacán (Western Río Balsas Depression), Mexico, is described and illustrated based on morphological evidence. Coulteria delgadoana has long male inflorescences up to 15 cm long, small flowers, leaves with glabrous leaflets and prominent reticulate venation, and a glabrous chestnut brown fruit with purplish tints. Based on IUCN criteria, we suggest an Endangered (EN) category of the species.Conclusions: Morphological characters of the new species C. delgadoana, suggest that it is similar to C. glabra, a species from Colima and Jalisco. The long size of the male inflorescence has not been observed in other Coulteria species. Coulteria delgadoana shares its distribution area with C. lewisii in Infiernillo.

We describe a new species of Ololygon from the Cerrado biome, Central Brazil. The new species is assigned to the Ololygon catharinae species group based in morphological attributes. Ololygon goya sp. nov. in known only from type locality—Sítio d’Abadia municipality, State of Goiás—and associated with riparian environments connected to seasonal dry forest on the banks of the Corrente river, a tributary of the Paranã river basin. The new species is characterized by the combination of the following characters: medium size (24.4–38.8 mm SVL); snout subovoid in dorsal view; canthus rostralis well defined; males with hypertrophied forearms and nuptial pads; inguinal region and hidden surfaces of thigh with irregular dark brown spots on pale yellowish background. We also describe the external morphology and oral morphology of tadpoles, and the advertisement calls of the new species.
