A New Species

We describe a new species of Pseudoeurycea from the cloud forests of Huatusco in the state of Veracruz, México. This species belongs to the P. cephalica complex. Pseudoeurycea cafetalera sp. nov. is sister to the clade formed by P. cephalica and P. quetzalanensis. The new species is diagnosed by a stout body, long stout legs, short digits, somewhat webbed hands and feet, a distinctive coloration and by divergent mitochondrial DNA sequences.

A New Species

Magnolia guerrerensis from the cloud forest in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, is illustrated and proposed as a new species. This taxon is similar to M. schiedeana Schltdl., but differs from it because of its smaller stipules, pedicellated flowers and gynoecium with less carpels. A key to distinguish both species is included.

A new species of Marsdenia (Apocynaceae; Asclepiadoideae) is described from the mountain cloud forest in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. Marsdenia microcarpa is distinguished from other species of the genus by its gynostegial corona lobes oblong-ovate, adnate to the gynostegium, free, erect or divergent obtuse apices, margins of lobes connate at base, corpuscle with rostrate apex, narrowly fusiform follicles of less than 5 cm at maturity. A key to the species of Marsdenia in the state of Guerrero is presented.

A new species of Vernonia (Asteraceae, Vernonieae) is described from mountain cloud forest, Pinus forest and Pinus–Quercus forest in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico. Typical characters of this species are the lax corymbiform inflorescences, formed by 3–10 heads on peduncles > 4.5 cm long, and the lanceolate or elliptic-ovate shape of leaves. A key to the Mexican species of Vernonia is included.

Nurse frogs (Aromobatidae: Allobates) are probably the most extensively studied genus by taxonomists in Brazilian Amazonia. The southwestern portion of Amazonia is the most species-rich: as many as seven species may occur in sympatry at a single locality. In this study, we describe a new species of nurse frog from this region. The description integrates data from larval and adult morphology, advertisement calls and DNA sequences. Allobates velocicantus sp. nov. is distinguished from other Allobates mainly by the absence of hourglass-shaped dark marks on the dorsum and dark transverse bars on the thigh; a throat that is white centrally and yellow marginally; basal webbing on toes II and III; finger I longer than finger II; and an advertisement call composed of 66–138 pulsed notes with a note duration of 5–13 ms, inter-note intervals of 10–18 ms and a dominant frequency of 5,512–6,158 Hz. Tadpoles of the new species have 3–4 short, rounded papillae on the anterior labium, 16–23 papillae on the posterior labium, and a labial keratodont row formula 2(2)/3(1). This is the fifth species of Allobates described from the state of Acre, southwestern Brazilian Amazonia.

A New Species

The new species Dicranocentrus paramoense, D. bidentatus, Heteromurus (Heteromurtrella) echinatus and H. (H.) pruinosus are described from specimens collected in the State of Mérida, Venezuela. A new species of each genus comes from a cloud forest near the city of Mérida and a new species of each taxon was collected in paramos northeast of Mérida. Congeneric species are phyletically very near and their closest relatives live in Central America and the West Indies. Dicranocentrus bidentatus is the sole species of its genus with only two teeth (the basal pair) along the inner margin of the unguis. Heteromurus (Heteromurtrella) echinatus is unique among members of its subgenus in possessing dental spines, although some individuals lack these structures. This is the first record of such intraspecific variation. Four tables detail variations of a number of characters and 41 figures complement the text.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Caecilia (Caeciliidae) from the western foothills of the Serranía de los Yariguíes in Colombia is described. Caecilia pulchraserranasp. nov. is similar to C. degenerata and C. corpulenta but differs from these species in having fewer primary annular grooves and a shorter body length. With this new species, the currently recognized species in the genus are increased to 35. Mitochondrial DNA sequences, including newly sequenced terminals representing two additional, previously unanalyzed species, corroborate the phylogenetic position of the new species within Caecilia and the monophyly of the genus. This analysis also included newly sequenced terminals of Epicrionops aff. parkeri (Rhinatrematidae) and trans-Andean Microcaecilia nicefori (Siphonopidae). Evidence was found for the non-monophyly of the family Siphonopidae and the siphonopid genera Microcaecilia and Siphonops. The implications of these results for caecilian systematics are discussed and the status of the trans-Andean populations of Caecilia degenerata is commented upon.

A New Species

Using a combination of fixed morphological character differences, mitochondrial DNA sequence data, and an estimate of phylogeny as our guide, we describe a new species of bent-toed gekkonid lizard (Genus: Cyrtodactylus) from southwestern Mindanao Island, and northeastern portions of the Sulu Archipelago, southern Philippines. The new species resembles C. annulatus, but differs from this and all other congeners by characteristics of external morphology, color pattern, and body size. In addition, the new species is distinguished from congeners by marked genetic divergence and reciprocal monophyly of mitochondrial DNA sequences. The new species is common in pristine, low elevation gallery forests throughout Pasonanca Natural Park, Zamboanga Peninsula, southwestern Mindanao Island, and the northeastern portions of the Sulu Archipelago.

Ternstroemia acajetensis Cast.-Campos & Palacios-Wassenaar sp. nov. is described and illustrated. This new taxon is part of the arboreal and shrub strata of cloud forests, Quercus forests, and Pinus-Quercus forests in the mountains of the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Oaxaca, Mexico. This species is related to T. sylvatica and T. huasteca, which grow in similar environments. However, the new species can be differentiated from the others by the length of the peduncle, the shape of the petals, the color of the flowers, and the length of the prolongation of the connective in the anthers.
