Only three of the 12 recognized species of Trachycephalus Tschudi (Frost 2011) present an occipital crest— Trachycephalus atlas Bokermann, T. nigromaculatus Tschudi, and T. jordani (Stejneger and Test). The latter species is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Trachycephalus nigromaculatus is found in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais, and southern Bahia states, while T. atlas is restricted primarily to the Caatinga of the Brazilian Northeast (Frost 2011), but overlaps with T. nigromaculatus in the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia. The two species can be differentiated by the more pronounced posterior cephalic plate, wider inter-orbital distance, and lower and wider head in T. atlas (Bokermann 1966). Herein we describe the acoustic characteristics of advertisement call of T. atlas and compared with other Trachycephalus species.

Tovomita iaspidis, a new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is described, illustrated, and its morphological affinities with other species and its diagnostic characters are discussed. The new species is similar to Tovomita glazioviana, from which it can be distinguished by having greenish patent petals and larger and reddish pistillode in the staminate flowers. While T. glazioviana is found in the Atlantic Forest in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro, T. iaspidis is so far only known from two small remnant areas of montane forest in southern Bahia State, Brazil.

Caayguara gen. nov. is described to include Olios albus Mello-Leitão, 1918 and eleven new species, namely Caayguara pinda sp. nov., from Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo; C. juati sp. nov. and C. apiaba sp. nov., from Bahia, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo; C. ajuba sp. nov., from Bahia and Espírito Santo; C. cupepemassu sp. nov., from Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul; C. cupepemayri sp. nov. and C. atyaia sp. nov., from Rio de Janeiro; C. itajucamussi sp. nov., C. ybytyriguara sp. nov., C. poi sp. nov. and C. catuoca sp. nov., from São Paulo. The genus seems to be restricted to the Atlantic Forest biome and can be easily distinguished from other Neotropical huntsman genera by the presence of intermarginal denticles on the chelicerae, only two pairs of spines on ventral tibiae and one lateral spine on metatarsi I–II, by the male palps with RTA arising from medial to basal retrolateral tibiae and emboli with keels and projections, and by the female vulvae with the median part of copulatory ducts expanded, forming a sac-like structure, and the posterior part with several linearly arranged lobes. In addition, Olios albus is redescribed and the female described for the first time.

O estudo analisa as repercussões de curto e de longo prazo da indústria do sudeste brasileiro utilizando dados mensais entre janeiro de 1995 e julho de 2013 e vetores de correção de erros (VEC). As elasticidades de longo prazo indicam que os Estados de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro apresentam maiores efeitos de espraiamento sobre os estados de Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo e que estes também apresentam efeitos positivos sobre crescimento industrial daqueles.  Todavia, há indícios de que existem maiores efeitos de retardamento, ou de rivalidade, entre as indústrias de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro e de Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo. Assim, mesmo com importantes repercussões sobre as demais regiões, o potencial de aglomeração e de efeitos de espraiamento da região Sudeste parece ainda não ter sido explorado em toda a sua extensão, uma vez que percebe-se ainda certa desconexão entre os setores de atuação de alguns estados; ou seja, políticas voltadas para a expansão da indústria do Sudeste brasileiro devem considerar as evidências apresentadas nesse estudo de modo a minimizar os efeitos de retardamento e potencializar as ações de espraiamento dentro da região, maximizando, assim, os ganhos de aglomeração e localização geográfica.

A New Species

Miconia goldenbergiana, a new species from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species have been extensively collected since the end of the XIX century but have been confused with M. budlejoides and M. formosa, species that also have discolorous and suprabasal leaves and glomerulate inflorescences. From the first species, it can be distinguished by papyraceous leaves with the abaxial surface covered by lepidote trichomes. From the second species, it can be distinguished also by the texture of leaves, and by its narrower size, crenulate to serrulate margins and acute base, besides the smaller size of the flowers. The new species is known from the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and eastern São Paulo, and is in danger of extinction.

Two New Species

Two new species of Myrcia from the Atlantic rainforest in southeastern Brazil, Myrcia congestiflora and Myrcia longipaniculata are here described and illustrated. Myrcia congestiflora occurs in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states and is similar to Myrcia cerqueiria, differing by having densely sericeous indumentum (versus sparse and shorter trichomes), larger flowers and flower buds (flower buds with 3–4 mm versus 1.1 mm long) and by acute or obtuse calyx lobes rather than rounded. Myrcia longipaniculata is known for one collection from the boundary of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro differing from Myrcia spectabilis mainly by the longer inflorescence size (29 cm versus 3.5–21.5 cm long.) as well as for presenting a strong reddish or ferruginous indumentum (versus brown to yellowish).
