Haemagogus (Haemagogus) is restricted mostly to the Neotropical Region, including Central America, South America and islands (Arnell, 1973). Of the 24 recognized species of this subgenus, 15 occur in South America, including the Antilles. However, the centre of distribution of the genus Haemagogus is Central America, where 19 of the 28 species (including four species of the subgenus Conopostegus Zavortink [1972]) occur (Arnell, 1973).

As widely known, the neotropical region is represented by Central America, south of Mexico, Baja California Peninsula, northwestern of Mexico, Caribbean Islands, south of Florida and South America. On the basis of the outstanding and peculiar biodiversity of the region, a great number of helminthological studies related to the parasites occurring in animals present in the different environments of the area, has been accounted.

The family Zoridae (F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893) is currently represented by 14 genera and 79 species distributed worldwide (Platnick, 2012), of which only the genera Xenoctenus Mello-Leitão, 1938 and Odo Keyserling, 1887 are present in Americas. Xenoctenus is represented by four species, all endemic to Argentina, while Odo has, so far, a total of 27 species distributed in Central America, South America, West Indies and Australia (Platnick, 2012). The type species of Odo is O. lenis Keyserling, 1887, a specimen female described from Nicaragua. The genus Odo has never been revised and given its wide distribution and number of species, it is probably a polyphyletic genus and a complete revision is required. Also, no new material of O. lenis or O. patricius has been described since 1900.

Ganoderma is a cosmopolitan genus of fungi with species distributed in temperate and tropical regions. Species of Ganoderma in living Leguminosae were observed in Park de la Salud in Pance, Cali, Colombia and we record G. multiplicatum for the first time from Colombia. A distribution map of this genus in the Neotropical region is presented.

Two species of hubbardiid microwhipscorpions (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae) are recorded from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Rowlandius linsduarteae sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens from Mata do Buraquinho forest reserve, João Pessoa, state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. This species is apparently related to Rowlandius sul Cokendolpher & Reddell 2000, the only species of the genus known from continental South America, and represents new evidence of a biogeographic relationship between Amazonia and the northeastern Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Stenochrus portoricensis Chamberlin, a widely distributed species, is newly recorded from the states of São Paulo and Bahia, respectively, in southeastern and northeastern Brazil. The latter record refers to several female specimens associated with abandoned arboreal termite nests in a cocoa plantation.

Introducción: Ae. aegypti y Ae. albopictus son los vectores responsables de la transmisión de arbovirus en América Central y América del Sur.  Objetivo: ERevisar los principales aspectos acerca de los vectores de arbovirus (Dengue, Chikungunya, y Zika), su llegada al continente, y los métodos de control de los dos vectores.  Metodología: Se realizó una revisión de bibliografía utilizando los términos: vector, arbovirus, central america, south america. Resultados: 21 estudios fueron revisados.  Existen diferencias importantes entre las dos especies de mosquitos con relación a los tres arbovirus de mayor impacto en la salud pública de la región: Dengue, Chikungunya, y Zika.  Dengue se transmite en las Américas desde hace 35 años a través de Ae. aegypti. En cambio,  Ae. albopictus llegó recién a Brasil en 1986 y América Central en 1988 por medio de mercancías, específicamente con el transporte de neumáticos usados.  Ha habido un éxito limitado en el control de la transmisión de los arbovirus por parte de los dos vectores con la introducción de la bacteria Wolbachia Conclusiones: Se requieren más estudios para profundizar la relación entre vectores y los arbovirus para mejorar estrategias de control de transmisión de estas enfermedades cuyo impacto en la salud pública sigue creciendo.

We studied the leaf-litter frog community of Estação Ecológica Estadual Paraíso, in Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil. Herein we combined three sampling methods (large plots, visual encounter surveys and pit-fall traps) to present data on species composition, richness, relative abundance and densities. The local assemblage of frogs associated to the leaf-litter was composed by 14 species, belonging to nine families. Haddadus binotatus, a direct-developing frog, was the most abundant species in the community. The estimated density of the local leaf-litter frog assemblage based on plot sampling was 4.3 frogs/100 m². Haddadus binotatus had the highest density (1.1 ind/100 m²). Frogs were predominantly found at night. Thoropa miliaris had the largest values of SVL (39.0 ± 10.3 mm), whereas the smallest species were Euparkerella brasiliensis (16.7 ± 2.2 mm) and E. cochranae (16.0 ± 2.7 mm). Rhinella ornata had the highest mean body mass (12.1 ± 7.5 g), and E. cochranae the lowest (0.4 ± 0.2 g). The overall frog mass was 938.6 g/ha. Our data support that higher densities of leaf-litter frogs tend to occur in the Neotropical region compared to the OldWorld tropics, tending to be higher in Central America than in South America.
