A New Species

A new species of Proceratophrys is described from the highlands of northeastern Brazil. Molecular and morphologicaldata suggests that Proceratophrys redacta sp. nov. is sister to P. minuta, and related to P. schirchi and P. cristiceps. Thenew species is diagnosed by its small size, absence of rostral and palpebral appendages, sagittal ridges interrupted, absenceof postocular swellings, snout vertical in profile and dorsal coloration lacking distinct ocelli. The new species representsanother example of endemism for the genus Proceratophrys in Chapada Diamantina region, and of another appendagelesssmall-sized species associated with highlands. The phylogenetic results indicate that current morphological groupings in Proceratophrys may not represent natural groups.

A New Species

We report here seven interesting taxa of Euastrum from the periphytic material of three macrophyte species (Cabomba haynesii, Eichhornia azurea, and Utricularia foliosa) occurring in the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia State, Brazil. Of those Euastrum taxa, E. westenii is new to science; E. bidentatum var. scottii, E. elegans var. prescottii, and E. informe var. oculatum were raised to the varietal level; E. ansatum var. concavum, E. ciastonii, and E. sibiricum had their geographic distributions enlarged to northeastern Brazil. Taxonomic notes and ecological information are provided for all taxa.

A New Species

We describe a new species of Proceratophrys, allied to P. schirchi, from the northern sector of the Espinhaço mountain range, within a semiarid region in central State of Bahia known as Chapada Diamantina. The new species inhabits seasonal semi-deciduous forests (usually known as dry forests) that cover the mountainous relief of the Serra de Jacobina, a regional designation of the Espinhaço mountain range in northeastern Brazil. Proceratophrys minuta sp. nov. most resembles P. schirchi by combination of small palpebral appendages, general external morphology, and by its restriction to Atlantic Forest remnants. It is diagnosed from all congeners by the combination of small body size (snout–vent length, males 20.4–25.2 mm, females 28.3–31.9 mm), absence of rostral appendage, short palpebral appendages with the central prominent, dorsum adorned with sinuous longitudinal ridges outlining a spear-shaped ornamentation like a hastate-shaped leaf (with flaring pointed lobes at eyes and spear point at urostile), and other six morphological characteristics. We also describe the tadpole of P. minuta sp. nov., and compare its color and external morphology with other tadpoles of Proceratophrys described in the literature.

A New Species

This work describes and illustrates Bernardia hamadryadica, from the Chapada Diamantina, in northeastern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from the other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: shrubby habit; young leaves and inflorescences usually produced on short shoots; membranaceous leaf laminas less than 6 cm long, with disk-shaped, slightly prominent glands on the abaxial surface; spiciform staminate inflorescences up to 1 cm long; entire style branches; and indumentum of simple trichomes.

Lychnophora spiciformis, a new species from Brazil, is here described and illustrated. The new species is endemic to the Chapada Diamantina in Bahia, Northeastern Brazil. Lychnophora spiciformis is characterized by its pseudoterminal congested spike-like inflorescence of capitula or glomerules of capitula. The affinities of this species are discussed.

A New Species

A new species of Characidium Reinhardt, 1867 endemic to tributaries of the upper rio Paraguaçu in the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil, is described. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners except C. bahiense, C. bimaculatum, C. laterale, C. nana, C. nupelia, and C. xavante, by having a conspicuous peduncular blotch in addition to the basicaudal spot on the base of the middle caudal-fin rays. Among other features, the new species differs from C. bahiense, C. laterale, C. nana, C. nupelia, and C. xavante by having a complete lateral line with 32–36 perforated scales (vs. lateral line short, with 9–11 perforated scales), and from C. bimaculatum by the body pigmentation pattern, with secondary bars present (vs. absent), total bars 11–16 (vs. 10–12), peduncular blotch rounded (vs. horizontally elongated), and mature males not having a darker dorsal fin (vs. proximal third of dorsal fin darker in mature males). Characidium bimaculatum, a poorly known species from Northeastern Brazil, is redescribed.

Pleroma rubrum (Melastomataceae, Melastomeae), a new shrubby species endemic to rocky outcrops of Chapada Diamantina, northeastern Brazil, is here described, illustrated and compared with closely related taxa. The new taxon is easily distinguished, within the Tibouchina pereirae species complex, by its quadrangular distal branches with a crown of long hirsute trichomes around nodes, leaves elliptic-lanceolate with reddish margins and petioles, reddish inflorescence and bracteoles, colored stipitate glands on all reproductive structures, except the pedoconnectives, involucral bracteoles, and urceolate capsules.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

A New Species

Abstract—Justicia rubrobracteata, a new species from northeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to J. aequilabris due to its shrubby habit, and terminal and axillary spicate inflorescences with red flowers. However, J. rubrobracteata is differentiated mainly by the shape and color of its bracts and bracteoles as well as an orangish macula in the corolla, and a torulose capsule. In addition, J. rubrobracteata is only known from northeastern Brazil, from the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte, while J. aequilabris is widely distributed in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. A table with the main morphological characters of both species is included, as well as photographs, a key to species of Justicia for the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte in northeastern Brazil, a distribution map of both species, and conservation data for the new species.
