First Time

The orchid bee fauna of Estação Ecológica de Murici (ESEC Murici), in the state of Alagoas, one of the largest remnants of the Atlantic Rain Forest in northeastern Brazil, was surveyed for the first time. Seven hundred and twenty-one orchid-bee males belonging to 17 species were collected from the 3rd to the 10th of September, 2009. Besides the recently described Eulaema (Apeulaema) felipei Nemésio, 2010, three other species recorded at ESEC Murici deserve further attention: Euglossa amazonica Dressler, 1982b, recorded for the first time outside the Amazon Basin; Euglossa milenae Bembé, 2007 and Euglossa analis Westwood, 1840, both recorded for the first time in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil north to São Francisco river. These results together with previous samplings in the state of Alagoas reveal that at least 22 orchid-bee species are now known to occur there. Three other species not recorded for Alagoas yet are known from the neighbor states of Sergipe, Pernambuco, and Paraíba. An identification key to all 25 species of Euglossina known to occur in the states of Alagoas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Paraíba, and Rio Grande do Norte is provided.

Abstract A new species of the genus Phasmahyla is described from Atlantic Rain Forest fragments at the Fazenda Duas Barras, Municipality of Santa Maria do Salto, northeastern State of Minas Gerais, at the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Serra do Teimoso, Municipality of Jussari, and at the Fazenda Santa Cruz, Municipality of Arataca, southern State of Bahia, Brazil. The new species is recognized by its medium size for the genus (SVL 33.3 to 38.0 mm in males, 42.8 to 48.6 mm in females); purple drops on flanks and concealed surfaces of forearm, thigh, and digits; male with moderate nuptial pad of minuscule horny asperities on finger I; tympanum distinct only on ventral half; supratympanic fold weakly developed and visible only behind the tympanum; loreal region slightly obtuse; larval oral disc with distinct upper and second lower series of horny teeth; and second lower series of horny teeth slightly shorter than the upper one.

A New Species

A new species of the previously monotypic bufonid genus Frostius is described from Atlantic Rain Forest fragments in the southern region of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The new species is distinguished from F. pernambucensis by life colors of body and iris, length and width of digits, development of apical discs, and size and shape of tympanum. New locality records extend the distribution of the genus 105 km to the north (to the State of Paraíba), and 190 km to the south (southern region of the State of Bahia).

Ituglanis agreste, a new species of catfish, is described from a tributary stream of the rio Gongogi drainage, rio de Contas basin, Bahia State, northeastern Brazil, from a transition area between the Atlantic Rain Forest and the semi-arid Caatinga savanna. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: elongate interopercle plate with high number of odontodes (26-30), high number of ribs (5-6), fewer vertebrae (36), number of branchiostegal rays (7), number of pectoral-fin rays (i,6) and absence of s1 pore. Comparisons with other Ituglanis species and putative plesiomorphic characters are presented. Some comments about conservation of Ituglanis species from northeastern Brazil are also made.
