Larvae of Oliera argentinana, Brèthes 1916 (Lepidoptera: Cecidosidae) were rediscovered inducing spindle-shaped gallsenclosed within swollen stems of Schinus (Anacardiaceae) in central Argentina and Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmoststate of Brazil. Male, female, immature stages, and plant galls of O. argentinana are redescribed, using optical andscanning electron microscopy. The genus Oliera Brèthes, 1916, previously a junior synonym of Cecidoses Curtis, 1835,is revalidated, by comparing morphological characteristics within the family and through an analysis of mitochondrial(COI) DNA sequences, including putative members of the four Neotropical cecidosid genera. Information on preliminary Cecidosidae phylogeny and taxonomy is also provided.

Immature stages are known in only 11 species of the Thyreocoridae. In this paper, the eggs of Galgupha (Euryscytus)difficilis (Breddin) and Galgupha (Gyrocnemis) fossata McAtee & Malloch are described and illustrated. Egg morphologyand oviposition habit in the Thyreocoridae and Cydnidae are reviewed. Adults of both species were collected in SãoFrancisco de Paula municipality, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and maintained in the laboratory for oviposition. Theeggs were examined by stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy and photographed. In G. (E.) difficilis, theeggs were laid singly or in pairs; each egg is cylindrical (0.8 x 0.5 mm) and white and the chorion is shiny, translucent,and smooth; the micropylar processes (2–4) are short and stalked. In G. (G.) fossata, the eggs were laid singly; each eggis cylindrical (0.9 x 0.6 mm) and white and the chorion is shiny, translucent, and granulated; the micropylar processes (4–10) are short, stalked, and transversely constricted. The eggs of both species are similar to those of other thyreocorids,especially of other corimelaenines. The Thyreocoridae in the broadest sense (including the Parastrachiinae) is not auniform group concerning egg morphology, oviposition behavior, and maternal care. Within the Pentatomoidea, based onegg morphology, the Cydnidae is the group nearest to the Thyreocoridae. The evolution of the eggs in the Pentatomoidea should be investigated within a phylogenetic framework, including egg characters, in future cladistic analyses.

ABSTRACT Asteraceae is the largest family of angiosperms and occurs predominantly in grassland areas. This study aimed to identify and characterize the foliar trichomes of 34 Asteraceae species from Sand-fields of the Pampa biome, by means of epidermal analyzes (front and transverse view) under light and scanning electron microscopy. Eleven types of trichomes were identified and characterized: three glandular (recurved on the epidermis, erect-capitate and uniseriate to multiseriate vesicular-capitate) and eight non-glandular (simple conical, flagellate-filiform, aseptate-flagellate, whip-like, oblique-flagellate, branched with one arm, branched with two T-shaped arms, branched with three or more arms). The most representative glandular type was the uniseriate to multiseriate vesicular-capitate (58%) and the non-glandular type was the simple conical (35%). A large number of trichomes is an adaptive strategy to the adverse conditions of the Pampa biome and its morphological diversity can be useful in the family systematics.

AbstractA new species of Pseudis is described from São Francisco de Paula, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is known from the southern parts of the Serra Geral where it occurs in grassland, inhabiting permanent ponds and still-water zones of slow flowing creeks. It is characterized by a paired vocal sac and a bulbous thumb, considerably widened at the base. It is distinguished from P. minutus by its different call, body coloration, rounded snout, and a more robust body with shorter hindlimbs. Advertisement call, tadpole, and life history are described. The taxonomy of the family Pseudidae in Rio Grande do Sul is discussed, supporting the synonymy of Lysapsus mantidactylus and P. meridionalis with P. minutus.

Neste estudo objetivou-se analisar o acolhimento à mulher na Estratégia Saúde da Família em situações de violência. De caráter qualitativo, do tipo descritivo, este estudo foi realizado com 53 profissionais de sete equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família de um município da região noroeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados foram produzidos pela técnica de observação não participante, registrados em diário de campo e analisados pela modalidade temática de Bardin. Os resultados mostram que os espaços físicos não propiciam condições de privacidade e acesso às mulheres em situação de violência. Parte dos profissionais preocupa-se em investigar situações de vida, mas a violência não. Uma das unidades tem identificado, no mapa inteligente, as mulheres em situação de violência e um fluxograma para atender a violência sexual. Conclui-se que é preciso repensar o acolhimento à mulher em situação de violência, propor a inclusão do problema na agenda e organizar os serviços com base na política.

In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, there are few records of geographical distribution and host plants to species of Tomoplagia Coquillett, as well as other genera of Tephritidae, especially those associated with plants of the family Asteraceae. Here, we report the first occurrence of Tomoplagia rudolphi (Lutz & Lima, 1918) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, inducing stem galls in Vernonanthura tweediana (Baker) H. Rob. (Asteraceae, Vernonieae), whose plant becomes a new host record for this species. In this way, is increased to nine species of Tomoplagia recorded for Rio Grande do Sul. Biological and morphological data and photos of gall, larvae, pupae at new host and distribution map of the species in Brazil are provided.

The genus Rhynchospora Vahl has about 354 species with concentration in tropical America. In Brazil, Rhynchospora is the most abundant genus of the family, with 157 species, of which 40 are considered endemic. With the knowledge obtained in field trips, literature and herbaria reviewed, this work aims to contribute to the taxonomy of the genus Rhynchospora. As main results we highlight the synonymization of Rhynchospora glaziovii and R. floribunda, R. robusta and R. semihirsuta, and R. uniflora and R. biflora. A new description for R. conferta, which is a valid species and has been considered as a synonym of R. robusta, is also presented. During the review, we found a new record to Rio Grande do Sul, R. splendens. A diagnosis of all these species are provided, as well as new lectotypes and neotypes designations.

Five chrysopetalid species are reported from samples collected at bathyal depths in three NE Atlantic regions: the Bay of Biscay, the Horseshoe Abyssal Plain and the Gulf of Cadiz. Arichlidon reyssi (Katzmann et al., 1974), Dysponetus caecus (Langerhans, 1880) and D. profundus Böggemann, 2009 are free-living forms found mainly on biogenic substrates (e.g., coral and sunken wood). A brief description and taxonomical remarks are given for each of these species and their geographical distributions and habitat records were updated accordingly. Natsushima bifurcata Miura & Laubier, 1990 and Craseoschema thyasiricola gen. et sp. nov. are symbionts inhabiting the mantle cavity of chemosynthesis-based bivalves known from four mud volcanoes from the Gulf of Cadiz. Craseoschema thyasiricola gen. et sp. nov. was found inside a thyasirid bivalve and presents mixed morphological characteristics of free-living and symbiotic forms within Calamyzinae Hartmann-Schröder, 1971. A full description of the new species is given together with DNA sequences of the genes COI, 16S and H3 that were used in a phylogenetic analysis to indicate the position of the new genus within the family.
