Linaria subbaetica, a new species from the south of the Iberian Peninsula, is here described, illustrated, and compared with its morphologically closest relatives from L. sect. Supinae: L. badalii, L. caesia, and L. supina. The species is characterised by being annual, and having usually revolute leaves, a short and corymbiform inflorescence at anthesis with a pilose-glandulose axis, a white to pale-yellow corolla (yellow to orangish palate), bearing a spur equalling to slightly longer that the rest of the corolla, and black seeds with a tuberculate and papillose disc surface and a thickened wing. L. subbaetica is an endemic species, growing on calcareous mountains, in the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, Córdoba province (Andalusia, Spain).

A New Species

A new species of the tree genus Syzygium (Myrtaceae), S. sahyadricum is described and illustrated from the Montane Shola forests of Anamalai and Palni Phytogeographical region of Western Ghats. Although phenotypically closely similar to S. spathulatum and S. malabaricum, the new species is easily recognizable by the pale yellow coloured tender leaves with horizontal secondary nerves and white flowers in reduced metabotryoid, pedunculate inflorescence, which are flattened towards the apex. Scanning the Syzygium collections in various herbaria revealed that similar specimens from various localities of this phyto-region are available and most of them with erroneous ascriptions. The report of S. spathulatum Thwaites, a Sri Lankan endemic species in India, was due to misinterpretation of Beddome’s collection. In this paper taxonomic peculiarities of the new species and allied taxa are discussed for better understanding.

A New Species

AbstractA new species of the genus Cephalobus is described from natural areas in the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula. Cephalobus harpagonis sp. n. is characterised by female body length of 0.38-0.47 mm, lips amalgamated in pairs, labial probolae present as low ridges connecting tips of adjacent lips, ovary lacking flexures, spermatheca 11-12 μm long, postuterine sac very short (0.3-0.4 times corresponding body diam.), female tail conical or subcylindrical (22-31 μm, c = 13.2-17.1, c′ = 1.7-2.5) and ending in a tuberculate, often harpoon-like, mucro. Descriptions, measurements and illustrations, including SEM photographs, are also provided for C. persegnis and C. troglophilus from Spain. An identification key to Cephalobus species and a compendium of their measurements are also provided.

Morphological Investigations

In the first months of 2013, a large group of plants of Centaurea belonging to the section Seridia, initially identified as a morphological variant of C. seridis subsp. sonchifolia, has been found during a naturalistic excursion in the Regional Natural Park of Punta Pizzo—Sant’Andrea Island. Morphological investigations, direct comparisons with species belonging to the same section, both through herbarium’s specimens and in vivo, and punctual bibliographical research indicate that this population belongs to a new species with some similarities with the Euro-Mediterranean C. seridis, C. polyacantha (a species with a distribution comprising the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco), or the North-African C. bimorpha and C. ferox, but is quite different by many characters illustrated in the present work. The new species here described is named C. akroteriensis Gennaio & Q.G. Manni.

Biogeographical Province

The Sierra of Nanchititla Natural Park is located in central Mexico. It occupies the southwestern corner of the State of México, within the municipality of Luvianos at the border with the states of Michoacán and Guerrero. It is part of the Balsas Basin biogeographical province. The sierra is a topographically complex region, isolated from the neighboring sierras, harboring several endemic species. Here, Tigridia nanchititlensis is described and illustrated as a new species. Morphologically, this taxon pertains to the subgenus Hydrotaenia. It is a rupicolous and pendulous plant characterized by its horizontal flowers and upright fruits. It is most closely related to T. meleagris, and co-occurs in the studied area with other species of Tigrideae, such as Cardiostigma longispatha, Cipura campanulata, Tigridia meleagris, T. mortonii, and T. pavonia. Two of them, Tigridia nanchititlensis and T. mortonii are endemic to the Sierra of Nanchititla.

A New Species

<em>Diplacodes lefebvrii</em> (Rambur, 1842) is a libellulid dragonfly, which is common and widespread in Africa and across the Indian Ocean. While this species is fairly common in the south and east of the Mediterranean, its European range is confined to Cyprus, the island of Rhodes and the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Here we report the first record of <em>D. lefebvrii </em>for Italy, which was captured near Cagliari (Sardinia) on 11.IX.2013. In October 2014, a population of the same species was observed at a small wetland on the island “Isola di San Pietro” (Sardinia). Here the observed sex ratio of <em>D. lefebvrii</em> was strongly biased in favour of females and only a single male was observed.

AbstractTo date, there have only been two endemic species of the lichen genus Porpidia known from the maritime Antarctic. A new endemic species, Porpidia submelinodes Osyczka & Olech, recognized in the South Shetlands and South Orkneys, is described in this paper. The species is primarily characterized by its rusty orange, sorediate thallus, composed of convex, well separated and rounded areoles, and by the absence of lichen secondary products detectable by TLC. The morphology and soralia of this new species correspond to the arctic-alpine and boreal-mountain lichen Porpidia melinodes. The paper also discusses the differences between these two taxa and all Porpidia species reported from Antarctica.

A New Species

A new species of Limnophilinae (Diptera: Limoniidae), Dicranophragma (Brachylimnophila) relictum Mederos sp. nov., is described. This is the third species of this genus recorded from the Iberian Peninsula. This new species was discovered in a cave in the Sant Llorenç del Munt i Serra de l’Obac Natural Park, Barcelona Province (Catalonia) and it is the first record of a species of this genus from a hypogeous environment. The absence of suitable ecological conditions for the survival of this new species, particularly in the vicinity of the cave, suggests that this population of D. relictum Mederos sp. nov. is isolated. Dicranophragma relictum Mederos sp. nov. is characterized by the following features: a general grey-to-greenish-grey coloration on its thorax and a dark-grey abdomen; wings more than four times longer than wide; pale-brown-to-yellowish tinted wings, with brown veins and a well-marked stigma; in the male genitalia the upper part of the aedeagus is acute when viewed laterally and is longer than the lower part. A key is provided for separating the three species of Dicranophragma known to be present in the Iberian Peninsula.
