A New Species

A new species, Polytremis jigongi is described from Zhejiang, China. The new taxon resembles four congeneric species P.nascens (Leech), P. micropunctata (Huang), P. theca (Evans) and P. mencia (Moore), which are also analyzed and compared in the present study, and their geographical distribution in China is mapped. A key to the genus Polytremis of the world is given.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Sabellaria Lamarck, 1818 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Sabellariidae) is described from the intertidal zone of Jeram, Selangor, Malaysia. Sabellaria jeramae n. sp. is a gregarious species that constructs large reefs several hundreds of meters long and 50–200 m wide. The new species is distinguished from other congeners by the character combination of the presence of a single kind of middle paleae with conspicuous morphology, and outer paleae with long frayed teeth. Morphological features of the species are described and compared to those of all congeneric species. We also compare the reef structure and geographical distribution of the new species to those of the members of the family Sabellariidae around the world, demonstrating the ecological traits of the reefs.

A New Species

In May 2020, a new taxon of Euphorbia, Euphorbiaceae was collected from a dry hillside of Dongsheng District, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. The morphological characteristics of the specimens analyzed differ from those of the known Euphorbia species from this region; therefore, we suspected this may be a new species, and we set to analyze the ITS2 sequences of some Euphorbia species. The results show that the new taxon belongs to the sect. Esula of Euphorbia subg. Esula. It is similar to Euphorbia esula (description from Flora of China) but does not belong to the same species. Concomitantly, plant morphological data and pollen morphology results show significant differences between the new taxon, E. esula and E. caesia, a finding that supports the delimitation of this new taxon, which is named Euphorbia mongoliensis in accordance with its geographical distribution.

Oreocharis brachypodus is described and illustrated as a new species from Guizhou, China. The new species is similar to Oreocharis villosa. However, the new species is readily distinguished from the latter by cymes not branched, 1–4-flowered, larger and pronounced gibbous corolla (2.2–2.5 cm long), ovary ca. 1 cm long, with 4 ribs prominent, style ca. 0.7 cm long, and thecae confluent. Comments on affinities, geographical distribution, ecology, phenology and conservation status of the new species are also provided.

Chilean Population

Studies conducted over the last few years in Andean boreal Patagonia along the border of Argentina and Chile (36°50’S–37°53’S) have shown that its reptile diversity is comprised of several endemic lizards. Increasing research has led to recognize a number of cryptic iguanian species from previously named taxa. In this area is common the only known Chilean population of the Patagonian Liolaemus rothi, considered as a polymorphic species with wide geographical distribution. In this paper, we provide evidence to support the hypothesis that such population represents a new taxon, herein described as Liolaemus hermannunezi. This new species occurs in the southeastern areas of Laguna del Laja, in the Los Barros and Río de Los Pinos basins of Antuco Volcano (1428–1521 m) in the Bio Bio Region. Liolaemus hermannunezi is closely related to L. rothi, from which is significantly differentiated by molecular variables. In addition, this new species appears to be related to L. loboi and L. sagei, from which differs in having a smaller body size, a distinctive colour pattern and an isolated geographical distribution. Liolaemus hermannunezi is known from the boreal Patagonia of Chile, whereas L. loboi, L. rothi, and L. sagei are endemic to Argentinean Patagonia. The new species is a member of the boulengeri clade, diagnosed by the presence of a patch of abruptly enlarged scales on the posterior medial surface of the thigh, a character that is more conspicuous in adult males. Finally, a phylogenetic hypothesis for 67 Liolaemini taxa based on DNA sequences is presented

A new species of the genus Onychiurus is described from Málaga caves (Southern Spain). Onychiurus gevi sp. nov. is characterized by the peculiar distribution of dorsal (32/033/44433) and ventral (11/000/0101) pseudocelli that allow to distinguish it from the other congeneric species. A key of the world species of Onychiurus is provided.

A New Species

A new species of Kefersteinia (Orchidaceae, Zygopetalinae), K. carolorum, from the state of Táchira, Venezuela, is herein described, illustrated, and characterized based on morphological features. Kefersteinia carolorum is similar to K. lactea from Costa Rica, but it differs in the non-resupinate flowers and the longer callus. The labellum in the upper-most position that distinguishes this species is unique in the genus but has evolved independently in Zygopetalinae at least three times. Evolutionary, ecological, and functional implications of this character are explored. The conservation status of the new taxon is assessed as DD according to IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) criteria. We also provide a key to identify the genera of the Zygopetalinae with labellum in an upper-most position. In addition, we offer a key for the Kefersteinia species from Venezuela, a figure, and a map showing their geographical distributions.
