Amphisbaena carli sp. nov. is described from a Cerrado region in the southwestern of the state of Bahia, Brazil. The new species is diagnosable by having: small and separated nasal scales; two pre-cloacal pores separated from each other; 221–242 body annuli; 10–13 caudal annuli; 21–23 dorsal and 21–23 ventral segments to a midbody annulus; and tail without visible autotomic constriction. A proposition of standardization of head scalation nomenclature for amphisbaenids and comments on the current status of the genus Amphisbaena are also provided.

A New Species

At the time the genus Attacobius Mello-Leitão, 1925 was first acknowledged as a member of the subfamily Corinninae, Corinnidae, by Platnick & Baptista (1995), only three species were recognized. Since then, that number has increased to 15 currently valid species (Bonaldo & Brescovit 1998; 2005; Pereira-Filho et al. 2018). Recently we had the opportunity to discover an additional species of Attacobius, collected in association with fire ants of the genus Solenopsis Westwood in the State of Goiás, Midwest Brazil, a region that harbors a large portion of the Brazilian Cerrado, one of the most threatened savannas in the planet. Attacobius lavape n. sp., described below, appears to belong to the same group of species as A. verhaaghi Bonaldo & Brescovit, 1998 and A. lamellatus Bonaldo & Brescovit, 2005, since these three species share, in the male palp, the presence of an unsclerotized median lobe on the retrolateral tibial apophysis (Figs 9, 11).

The Lesser Bulldog Bat, Noctilio albiventris, is found in all major Brazilian phytogeographic domains. We extend the known distribution of this species in the Cerrado, where 3 specimens were collected in the municipality of Caxias, which is within the Cerrado domain of the state of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil. Our analysis of the COI gene confirms the morphological identification of the specimens, based on a 99.8–100% similarity with known sequences. This record extends the known distribution of N. albiventris 260 km to the east, in the state of Maranhão, and 986 km to the north, in the Cerrado biome.

A New Species

A cladistic analysis of the genus Atlantodesmus Hoffman, 2000 is presented. With a total of 11 taxa and 30 morphological characters, and under implied weighting (k = 3), two equally most parsimonious trees (length = 58 steps; total fit = 23.150; CI = 0.64; RI = 0.64) recovered the monophyly of the genus. The resulting synapomorphies are: absence of a ventral projection on the post-gonopodal sternites; presence of folds on the dorsal edge of the prefemoral region of the gonopod; and one homoplastic transformation: presence of a cingulum. In addition, Atlantodesmus sierwaldae sp. nov. is described from the state of Minas Gerais, in the Brazilian Cerrado, and a key to the males of the genus is provided.

Multidentorhodacarus tocantinensis sp. nov. is described based on the morphology of adult females collected from litter and soil in the Cerrado biome of the State of Tocantins, north of Brazil. The holotype and paratypes of M. squamosus Karg, 2000 were examined, given that this species was also found in this study, and complementary morphological information about it is provided. A key for the separation of females of the 20 recognizable world species of Multidentorhodacarus Karg is provided.

A new species of Pseudopaludicola is described from the state of Mato Grosso, western Brazil. The new species inhabitsthe transition zone between Brazilian Cerrado and Amazon rainforest in northern Mato Grosso, and is characterized by itsmedium size (snout-vent length 12–17 mm), lack of T-shaped terminal phalanges, toe tips not expanded laterally, presenceof two antebrachial tubercles, and smooth upper eyelids. The advertisement call of the new species consists of a seriescomposed of 11–74 non-pulsed notes. Mean dominant frequency is 3938 Hz. Each note presents a slight ascendantfrequency modulation in its first half, and another ascendant modulation in its last half. We also present new data on the distribution and conservation status of Pseudopaludicola canga.

A New Species

A new species of Trachycephalus is described for the Cerrado biome of Goiás, Brazil. Trachycephalus mambaiensis sp. nov. is distinguished from the other ten species of the genus by the skin co-ossified with the skull, heavy cranial ossification, frontoparietal that fails to articulate with squamosal, absence of a crista occipitalis and secreting glands of milky and viscous substances. The skull of the new species shows an intermediary condition between species of Trachycephalus with a well ossified skull (Casque-headed frogs) and those without cranial ossification.

Seed Eating

Agromyzids are well documented on plants of economic importance, especially those species whose larvae leave external marks on the plant, such as mines. They are far less known for non-commercial plants, particularly in tropical countries. In North American compilations of agromyzids, most of the species associated with Asteraceae flower heads belong in the genus Melanagromyza Hendel. Here we record five new seed-eating Melanagromyza species from the Brazilian Cerrado in the state of São Paulo: M. falciformis sp. nov., M. lanciformis sp. nov., M. longomembranacea sp. nov., M. multivora sp. nov. and M. vernonieaevora sp. nov.
