Mistaken Identity

The genus Spathiphyllum is represented in Mexico by 11 species, four of which are registered for the state of Veracruz. As a result of the revision of material collected in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, in addition to a detailed review of herbarium specimens, and comparison to individuals collected at and the type locality of Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum, we determined that the Spathiphyllum species identified as S. cochlearispathum in the Gulf of Mexico corresponds to a different species, not previously designated. The new species, Spathiphyllum croatii, is described taxonomically, illustrated, and compared with S. cochlearispathum.

Pseudonereis gallapagensis Kinberg, 1865 and P. variegata (Grube & Kröyer in Grube, 1858) are the only two species of this genus commonly recorded along Atlantic American coasts, but their type localities are in the Eastern Pacific, and their morphology differs. Two new Pseudonereis species are described from Eastern Mexico: P. brunnea sp. n. from the Gulf of Mexico, and P. citrina sp. n. from the Caribbean Sea, previously confused with P. gallapagensis. In order to facilitate comparisons, descriptions based on specimens from near the type locality for P. gallapagensis (Peru and Ecuador), and topotypes for P. variegata (Valparaiso, Chile), are included. Based on these comparisons and current descriptions, the synonymies of Nereis ferox Hansen, 1882 described from Brazil with P. variegata, and of Pseudonereis formosa Kinberg, 1865 described from Hawaii with P. gallapagensis, are rejected. Consequently, both are regarded as distinct species and revised diagnoses are provided for them. The record of P. ferox from the Gulf of Guinea proved to be an undescribed species, and is herein described as P. fauveli sp. n. The number of paragnath rows in nereidid pharynx areas VII–VIII has been interpreted in several ways, leading to confusion; an alternative method to determine the number of bands and rows is proposed. The midventral region, the division of areas VII–VIII in furrow and ridge regions, and the description of the arrangement based on the pattern of paragnaths in such regions, are proposed. Further, the terms shield-shaped and pointed (P-bars) bars are redefined, and a new term, crescent-shaped bars, is proposed for paragnaths in the areas VI in some Pseudonereis and Perinereis species. A key for all Pseudonereis species is also included.

Background and Aims: Since its publication in 1920, Digitaria filiformis var. laeviglumis had been considered as an endangered taxon endemic to New Hampshire, USA. However, a recent inventory of the grasses of Mexico showed that it also occurs outside its type locality. New findings for the ongoing project Flora del Bajío have yielded additional new records. The objective of this work is to report this taxon from the Mexican states of Michoacán and Durango, increasing the number of known localities of Digitaria filiformis var. laeviglumis.Methods: Online databases and herbaria were reviewed. Botanical herbarium specimens were collected in the state of Michoacán.Key results: Digitaria filiformis var. laeviglumis is reported as new for the Flora del Bajío in the state of Michoacán, as well as from a herbarium specimen from Durango which has both var. laeviglumis and var. filiformis mounted on the same sheet and that was misplaced among other specimens.Conclusions: With the addition of this variety, the number of taxa in the subfamily Panicoideae increases for the Flora del Bajío and the state Durango. With these findings there are more intermediate localities between the northern and southern range for this variety.

AbstractRevision of lichen herbarium specimens at DUKE revealed a species of thelotremoid Graphidaceae new to science. Clandestinotrema carbonera sp. nov. is characterized by an olive-green thallus, dense cortex, the absence of a columella, ascospores 15–24 × 5.5–8.0 μm with 3–5 transverse septa (occasionally submuriform), and the presence of hypostictic acid as a major substance. At present the species is known only from the type locality, an area of montane cloud forest near Mérida, Venezuela. Interestingly, this species appears to have been discussed in the literature once before, as an unnamed ‘Thelotrema sp.’ which in the 1970s provided the first instance of hypostictic acid isolated from a lichen. The previous report of C. leucomelaenum from the same locality is shown to actually represent C. pauperius.

Two distinctive new species of torrent frogs, Amolops nidorbellus sp. nov. and Amolops kohimaensis sp. nov. are described from the state of Nagaland in northeast India. Both species are compared with all known congeners. Amolops nidorbellus sp. nov. morphologically belongs to a group of torrent frogs including A. caelumnoctis, A. splendissimus, A. kaulbacki and A. viridimaculatus and is unarguably the most spectacularly coloured species in the genus. Amolops kohimaensis sp. nov. appears most similar to A. granulosus, each with extensive dorsal spinulation. The two new species are sympatrically occurring and currently known only from the type locality, about 5 kilometers west of Kohima town, Nagaland. The small forest fragment is in the process of extensive destruction from local quarrying activities, thus these species may already be threatened. Additional taxonomic comments are provided for A. caelumnoctis, A. splendissimus, A. daorum and A. mengyangensis.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.
