A New Species

Pherbellia jalili Mortelmans & Kazerani sp. nov. is described based on 5 males and 4 females. The new species is associated with old deciduous forest and is found only in the Hyrcanean forest in Iran. It is compared with its sister species, P. annulipes (Zetterstedt, 1846), and a comprehensive distribution map for both species is given. The key to species of this group of Pherbellia is updated including the Japanese Pherbellia tricolor Sueyoshi, 2001. Barcodes are generated for P. jalili sp. nov., P. annulipes, and P. nana nana (Fallén, 1820).

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.

A new species of Magnolia from the southern Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico, is described and illustrated, providing information about its habitat distribution, ecology, biogeography and conservation status. After 12 fieldwork expeditions near the border of the states of Hidalgo and Puebla, we have developed morphological, ecological and biogeographic data to support recognition of populations from Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo and Pahuatlán, Puebla as a distinct species of Magnolia sect. Macrophylla. A key to species of this section and a distribution map for Mexican taxa are provided. The species was assessed as critically endangered (CR).

A New Species

A new species of Ceraticelus Simon, 1884 from southern California is described, Ceraticelus artemisiae sp. nov. Its probable sister species, Ceraticelus phylax Ivie & Barrows, 1935, a potential adventive species with which it now often co-occurs in southern California, is redescribed for the first time. We provide detailed descriptions of both species because an adequate definition of the genus is lacking and the conformation of the male Ceraticelus palpal bulb has been only superficially treated. We also provide a definition of Ceraticelus based on examination of specimens of the type species, Ceraticelus fissiceps (O. P.-Cambridge). Problems associated with both the conformation of the male bulb and the paracymbium morphology are discussed. Despite the lack of a phylogenetic analysis of Ceraticelus, we propose that Ceraticelus phylax and Ceraticelus artemisiae sp. nov. are sister species based on shared characters that distinguish them from all other congeners. We suggest that the presence of Ceraticelus phylax in California is the result of incidental introduction rather than natural dispersal. Habitat, distribution, and phenology data are presented in the text. Illustrations and a distribution map are also furnished for both species.

A new species of Alfieriella Wittmer, 1935 (Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae), Alfieriella senguptai sp. n. from China and India, is described. This is the first formal record of the genus Alfieriella and the tribe Hypocoprini from the Himalayan region. Alfieriella senguptai is the largest member of Alfieriella, and its presence in a cold, high-altitude environment conforms to Bergmann’s rule. The distribution of the genus Alfieriella may be associated with the breakup of the Tethys Ocean and the origin of A. senguptai influenced by the Himalayan orogeny. A distribution map and a key to species of Alfieriella are also provided.

We describe and illustrate Magnolia mixteca, a new species of Magnolia sect. Macrophylla from the Alto Balsas Basin in Oaxaca, Mexico, providing information about its ecology, biogeography and conservation status. Magnolia mixteca differs from M. nuevoleonensis in having larger flowers, longer petals, a yellow petal-blotch, a tan-sand coloured ovary and more numerous stamens and carpels. In addition, we provide a distribution map and key to species of sect. Macrophylla. The relict distribution of this species allows us to consider it endangered (E).

A new subgenus, Walaphylliumsubgen. nov., is described within Phyllium Illiger, 1798 to accommodate three leaf insect species. One of the species included is newly described herein as Phyllium (Walaphyllium) lelantossp. nov. from Papua New Guinea. This new subgenus of Phyllium can be diagnosed by a following combination of features. This new species is compared to the two additional new subgenus members, Phyllium zomproi Größer, 2001 and Phyllium monteithi Brock & Hasenpusch, 2003. Also for the first time the male morphology of Phyllium zomproi is described and illustrated. To conclude, a brief biogeographical view of the leaf insects on either side of the Torres Strait is presented, as well as a key to species and a distribution map to the known species of Phyllium (Walaphyllium)subgen. nov.
