A New Species

A new definition for the genus Moribaetis Waltz & McCafferty 1985 is given. Its type species, Moribaetis maculipennis (Flowers 1979) is redescribed based on male and female imagoes reared from larvae near the type locality in Panama. Larvae, formerly wrongly attributed to Moribaetis salvini (Eaton 1885), and a male imago, formerly wrongly attributed to Moribaetis macaferti Waltz 1985, belong to a new species Moribaetis latipennis sp. n., which is described here based on a male imago reared from larva in Panama. Both species, M. maculipennis and M. latipennis sp. n., are distinct from M. salvini, which is known as a single male imago (lectotype) from Costa Rica. All other species, formerly attributed to Moribaetis, are excluded from this genus; a new combination Caribaetis macaferti comb. n. is proposed for the species originally described as Moribaetis macaferti Waltz (in Waltz & McCafferty) 1985, and a new combination Baetis (Rhodobaetis) mimbresaurus comb. n. is proposed for the species originally described as Moribaetis mimbresaurus McCafferty 2007.

AbstractA new species, Platydipteron balli (type locality near San José, Costa Rica), and first male specimens of Platydipteron are described. Based on these specimens, the genus is transferred from the Aenigmatiinae to the Metopininae. Male terminalia of Postoptica platypezoidea are described, and the genus is placed in the subfamily Phorinae.

A New Species

Papenfuss and Wake (1987) described a new species of plethodontid salamander from northern Oaxaca, Mexico, which they named Nototriton adelos. The species was assigned to Nototriton primarily on the basis of its similarity to members of that widespread genus, which as then constituted ranged from Oaxaca, Mexico, to east-central Costa Rica. At that time, Nototriton had no unique synapomorphies but rather included diminutive species that could be excluded from membership in all other genera. Wake and Elias (1983), who erected Nototriton, acknowledged that the genus might eventually be shown to be paraphyletic, but they were unable to further resolve the phylogeny with information then available. The original description of N. adelos was based on the holotype and three paratypes; in the subsequent 25 years, despite many futile attempts, only one additional specimen of this species has been discovered: UTAVC A-3956, the largest known specimen, a female, 25.6 mm snout-vent length, from near the type locality.

A New Species

We present the description of Phrynus calypso sp. nov. from Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela This species is very similar to Phrynus pulchripes (Pocock), however after examining Colombian specimens of P. pulchripes (ca. type locality), many differences were found. Characters commonly used in diagnosis of Phrynus species are variable and make identification difficult. Differences in a few structures, like pedipalpal spines, could not be enough to provide a useful diagnosis.  It is necessary to account for variation of similar species in conjunction, and select non overlapping groups of characters. Observations in the variation in both species are presented, pointing out sources of confusion, and suggesting alternative characters to support diagnoses. At the moment, details about variation in many species in Phrynus, like that of P. pulchripes, are poorly known, and for this reason a redescription is provided.

Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) deaneorum sp. n. is described from specimens collected in Guajará-Mirim, Rondônia state and Rio Branco, Acre state, Brazil, on human and animal baits, inside dwellings and from the progenies of engorged females. A detailed description of the shape of egg, external appearance of adult female and male, genitalias, female cibarial armature and complete chaetotaxy of pupa and larva show that it can be distinguished from Anopheles albitarsis from the type-locality and other areas by the paler general external appearance of the adult, the posterolateral tufts of scales, on the female abdominal terga and the branching of the outer anterior clypeal seta (3-C) of the fourth instar larva (as shown in illustrations). If species can also be distinguished from An. albitarsis from the type locality by the allele frequencies at 11 enzymic loci as represented by Nei's Genetic Distance.

Se describe e ilustra Pleodendron costaricense, una especie de árboles muy rara en el bosque lluvioso de bajura del Pacífico Sur de Costa Rica. La única otra especie congenérica, P. macranthum, se encuentra ca. 2000 km al nordeste, en Puerto Rico. Hasta ahora, la única especie de Canellaceae conocida en Centroamérica era Canella winterana, principalmente de las Antillas, que llega a la Península de Yucatán en México.
