A New Species

A new species, Scinax insperatus sp. nov., of the S. perpusillus group is described based on specimens collected in the Municipality of Miguel Pereira, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (22 º 13’ 14.6” S and 43 º 26’ 02.1” W). The new species is easily distinguishable from all other species of the S. perpusillus group, except Scinax belloni Faivovich, Gasparini, & Haddad, 2010, by lacking yellow markings in the inguinal region and hidden surfaces of limbs. From Scinax belloni, the new species differs by having dark, metallic-beige colored tubercles on the dorsal surfaces; S. belloni lacks any markings on dorsum, hind limbs, and hidden surfaces, and by lacking inguinal glands. In addition, the tadpoles of the new species are unique among those known for the group in having fins with yellow colored spots in later stages of development.

A New Species

A new species of the Scinax catharinae group, morphologically similar to S. strigilatus, is described from Municipality of Murici (09°12′S, 35°52′W, 509 m a. s. l.), State of Alagoas, northeastern Brazil. Scinax muriciensis sp. nov. is characterized by the medium size (adult males SVL 27.0‒28.9 mm), W-shaped interocular spot, green flash color in the inguinal region and hidden areas of thigh and shank, rounded snout in dorsal view, externally distinguished vocal sac, marked canthus rostralis, vomerine teeth in two straight series, non-developed nuptial pad, presence of supernumerary tubercles on feet, lack of externally well developed inguinal glands, foot webbing formula I – II 11/2–3+ III 11/2–21/2 IV 21/2–11/2 V. This is the northernmost distribution in the Scinax catharinae clade.

A New Species

Begonia fimbritepala (Begoniaceae) a new endemic species to the Atlantic Coastal Forest of Brazil is described and illustrated. This species resembles B. olsoniae in occupying the same habitat (rocky slopes and outcrops), and in the shape of the leaf blades and size of male flowers. It differs by glabrous leaves on the adaxial surface, villous abaxial veins with simple trichomes (vs. hispid on both surfaces, squamulose on abaxial veins with fimbriate scales) and tepals with ciliate margins (vs entire to slightly crenulate).

Begonia itaipeensis (Begoniaceae), a new narrow endemic species from the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest is described and illustrated. This species resembles B. friburgensis Brade but is readily distinguished from that species by its rupicolous habit, leaves with long petioles, and transversely ovate leaf blades.

A New Species

Sharks of the genus Scyliorhinus from the southwestern Atlantic are reviewed; identification problems and taxonomic misinformation given in the literature are rectified. After extensive examination of the external and internal morphology of specimens collected mostly off southeastern and southern Brazil, Scyliorhinus besnardi Springer & Sadowsky, 1970 is placed in the synonymy of S. haeckelii (Miranda Ribeiro, 1907), which is thoroughly redescribed. Additionally, a new species, Scyliorhinus cabofriensis, sp. nov., is described from the state of Rio de Janeiro, distinguished from all southwestern Atlantic congeners by its color pattern, clasper and neurocranial morphology, and proportional measurements. A key to Scyliorhinus species occurring in the southwestern Atlantic is also provided.

A New Species

A new anuran species, Cycloramphus lithomimeticus sp. nov., of the C. granulosus species group is described from theMunicipality of Itaguaí, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (22°54'3.44"S; 43°53'34.59"W, 160 m). The new species isdistinguished from all other species in the C. granulosus group (and many others in the genus) by lacking inguinal macroglands (on males). We also present data on its natural history, a few aspects of its osteology, tadpole, and discuss evidence for the relationships of the genus based primarily on the morphology of the tadpole.

A New Species

We describe and illustrate Behuria lumiarensis, a new species from the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It has been collected only once in montane vegetation in the Municipality of Nova Friburgo. The new species can be recognized by the combination of leaf blades with adaxial surface covered with sessile glands and abaxial surface moderately covered with stalked glands only on the veins, hypanthium sparsely covered with stalked glands, a large calyx tube with narrow sepals that are not apiculate in the apex, small petals, and glabrous ovary apex.

A New Species

A new species of Acantholochus Cressey, 1984 (Cyclopoida, Bomolochidae), parasitic on the gills and opercular cavity of the barred grunt Conodon nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758), from the coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species differs from its congeners through a combination of characters that includes presence of lamellae on the spines on the third segment of the exopods of the third leg, the number of antennule segments, and the presence of one seta on the second endopodal segment of the third leg.
