Species Groups

The genus Hylodes Fitzinger, 1826 is restricted to eastern Brazil, occurring from the states of Espírito Santo to Rio Grande do Sul (Lingnau et al. 2008, Frost 2010). Except for Hylodes otavioi, which inhabits riparian forests in rocky fields (“campos rupestres”) habitats within the Cerrado domain in Minas Gerais State (Sazima & Bokermann 1982), all other species in the genus are endemic to the Atlantic Rainforest domain (Lingnau et al. 2008). The genus currently comprises 24 species (Frost 2010) of small to medium-sized diurnal frogs that live associated to lotic streams in forests (e.g. Lingnau et al. 2008; Silva & Benmaman 2008). Heyer (1982) proposed four species groups for Hylodes, which are still recognized today (but see Haddad et al. 1996; Canedo & Pombal 2007): the glaber (formerly pulcher), lateristrigatus, mertensi, and nasus species groups. The Hylodes lateristrigatus species group is the most specious, being currently composed by 18 species: H. amnicola Pombal, Feio, and Haddad, 2002, H. babax Heyer, 1982, H. charadranaetes Heyer and Cocroft, 1986, H. fredi Canedo and Pombal, 2007, H. heyeri Haddad, Pombal, and Bastos, 1996, H. lateristrigatus (Baumann, 1912), H. magalhaesi (Bokermann, 1964), H. meridionalis (Mertens, 1927), H. ornatus (Bokermann, 1967), H. otavioi Sazima and Bokermann, 1983, H. perere Silva & Benmaman, 2008, H. perplicatus (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926), H. pipilans Canedo and Pombal, 2007, H. phyllodes Heyer and Cocroft, 1986, H. regius Gouvêa, 1979, H. sazimai Haddad and Pombal, 1995, H. uai Nascimento, Pombal, and Haddad, 2001, and H. vanzolinii Heyer, 1982 (Silva & Benmaman 2008; Frost 2010).

Locality Information

This dataset compiles information on giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) specimens housed in the major zoological collections of Brazil. We have personally examined the specimens, which constitute of skins, crania, and partial skeletons. We compiled information on collector, date, and locality of the specimens. A total of 56 giant otter specimens housed in six zoological collections were located. Of this total, 12 specimens do not have associated locality information. Of special relevance are the specimens from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo, as they document the presence of the giant otter in the Atlantic rainforest, where it is now extirpated. Our dataset may be used in studies on distribution (past and present) of the species, and to delineate conservation policies of the giant otter. The specimens from the Atlantic rainforest may be used in museomics analyses, as they may represent lost haplotypes of P. brasiliensis.

The genus Hylodes Fitzinger is composed of diurnal frogs that live associated to lotic streams in forests (Lingnau et al. 2008; Silva & Benmaman 2008). In Brazil, this genus occurs from the states of Espírito Santo to Rio Grande do Sul (Lingnau et al. 2008; Frost 2011). Hylodes currently comprises 24 species (Frost 2011) distributed in four species groups (Heyer 1982): glaber; lateristrigatus; mertensi; and nasus. Hylodes ornatus (Bokermann) are included in “Hylodes lateristrigatus” species group with other 17 species (Silva & Benmaman 2008; Canedo & Pombal 2007). Fourteen out of 24 species of Hylodes have their larvae described (Pirani et al. 2011).

Body size has a strong influence on the ecology and evolution of organisms’ life history. Turtle species can exhibit variation in body size and shape between populations of conspecifics through usually broad geographical scales. This prediction is timely to be tested in this study with the species Hydromedusa tectifera. We aimed to evaluate the variation in body size between and sexual dimorphism within populations of H. tectifera in two areas in Brazil. Sampling occurred in Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul states in order to obtain morphometric measures of carapace and plastron of the individuals. We observed sexual dimorphism within populations. In Rio Grande do Sul state, females were larger than males in most of the carapace and plastron measures. In Minas Gerais state, males were larger than females regarding maximum carapace width. Overall, individuals from Rio Grande do Sul state were larger than those from Minas Gerais state. We discuss possible factors that might cause variation in morphology within and between populations of conspecifics. Research on morphology is encouraged to facilitate comparisons among populations in geographically broad areas.

Begonia piranga (Begoniaceae) is a new narrowly endemic species from the campos rupestres of Serra do Padre Ângelo, a quartzitic massif in Conselheiro Pena, eastern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Description, diagnosis, taxonomic comments, detailed illustrations, field photographs, and a provisional IUCN Red List Assessment are provided. The new species is considered Critically Endangered due to its restricted occurrence in high elevation rock outcrops, small population size, and decline in the quality of the habitat. Begonia vasconcelosiana, another Critically Endangered species, is also newly reported here for Serra do Padre Ângelo. These discoveries add to the increasing list of novelties from Serra do Padre Ângelo, reinforcing the urge for conservation actions to protect the endemic flora of this Serra and other areas of campos rupestres in eastern Minas Gerais state.

Pseudolaelia Campos Porto & Brade (1935: 209) is a small orchid genus in subtribe Laeliinae. Its phylogenetic affinities place it near several small, endemic genera which constitute an isolated lineage in eastern Brazil, together with Adamantinia Van den Berg & Gonçalves (2004: 231), Constantia Barbosa Rodrigues (1877: 78), Isabelia Barbosa Rodrigues (1877: 75) and Leptotes Lindley (1833: t. 1625). All these genera have comparatively fewer species within the subtribe, and the main centre of distribution are the Brazilian Campos Rupestres, and other granitic rocky outcrops in the Brazilian States of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Bahia. Also, several species in Pseudolaelia, Constantia and Leptotes are epiphytes on Vellozia sp., considered a very specialized type of epiphytism (van den Berg et al. 2006, Porembsky 2008).

Two new micro-endemic species of Eriocaulaceae are described from the Campos Rupestres of Serra Nova State Park, a conservation unit located in the Espinhaço Range in northern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Herein we provide descriptions, illustrations, photographs and maps, together with notes on morphology, distribution, phenology, taxonomy, and conservation. Paepalanthus ferrugineus is distinguished mainly by the reddish-brown involucral bracts, surpassing the floral disc, with the apex attenuate and tufted adaxially, tufted sepals and hairy petals. Syngonanthus polyaxis is easily differentiated by the inflorescence architecture with three morphologically distinct axial parts. Both species are considered Critically Endangered according to the IUCN Red List criteria.

Campomanesia xanthocarpa (guabirobeira) é espécie arbórea, heliófita, ocorrendo desde o estado de Minas Gerais até o Rio Grande do Sul. Visando descrever a morfologia e anatomia da plântula, sementes foram coletadas e plantadas, utilizando-se vermiculita como substrato. Plântulas foram coletadas para análise morfológica desde a protrusão da radícula até a fase em que são emitidos os primeiros pares de eofilos. Para a análise anatômica foram coletadas plântulas com sete, 30 e 60 dias após a germinação. As amostras foram fixadas em glutaraldeído (1%) + formaldeído (4%), incluídas em historesina, seccionadas em micrótomo, e montadas de forma permanente. A plântula é epígea, fanerocotiledonar, com paracotilédones e eofilos simples, opostos. Nas plântulas com sete dias observa-se o início da formação do câmbio e as de 30 dias já apresentam crescimento secundário. O paracotilédone e o eofilo apresentam características morfoanatômicas semelhantes. O hipocótilo é o principal órgão de reserva, contendo grãos de amido, especialmente nas plântulas com sete dias. Foram registradas glândulas e células secretoras em todos os órgãos, exceto na raiz. A epiderme dos paracotilédones, eofilos e hipocótilo apresenta tricomas tectores unicelulares. Idioblastos com cristais são comuns no mesofilo do paracotilédone e do eofilo.
