Lythraceae comprises about 30 genera and 600 species widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, while Onagraceae comprises 22 genera and about 660 species distributed in temperate and subtropical areas, predominantly in Americas. The aim of this work was to realize the taxonomic study of Lythraceae and Onagraceae species from Usina São José, Igarassu, Pernambuco (Brazil), an Atlantic forest remnant. Fieldworks and visits to herbaria HST, HUEFS, IPA, JPB, PEUFR and UFP were conducted between 2018 and 2019. Three Lythraceae species were recognized: Cuphea carthagenensis (Jacq.) J.F. Macbr., C. flava Spreg. and Rotala ramosior (L.) Koehne, and three Onagraceae species: Ludwigia erecta (L.) H. Hara, L. hyssopifolia (G. Don) Exell and L. octovalvis (Jacq.) P.H. Raven. Rotala ramosior is a new record for Brazil. Morphological descriptions, an identification key, phenological period, geographic distribution, taxonomic notes, photographs and illustrations of diagnostic characters are presented herein. The relevant morphological characters for species identification are phyllotaxy, indumentum of stems, shape and indumentum of leaves, petals color and apex, capsule shape, seeds arrangement and raphe size.

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.

Two braconid genera from the subfamily Alysiinae, Lodbrokia Hedqvist, 1962 and Asyntactus Marshall, 1898, are recorded in the fauna of Russia and in the Asian continent for the first time. A new species Lodbrokia uralica sp. nov. is described from the Urals, and a key to species of this genus is provided. Redescriptions of the female and male of Asyntactus rhogaleus Marshall, 1898 with information about the level of variability of its morphological characters are given. Asyntactus sigalphoides Marshall, 1898 is synonymised with A. rhogaleus Marshall, 1898 (syn. nov.).

The genus Sclerocardius is revised, using morphological characters. Four species are recognized, including S. africanus (Boheman), S. bohemani Schoenherr stat.rev., S. indicus Hartmann and S. kuscheli sp.nov. The species Sclerocardius madecassus Ferragu is synonymized with S. bohemani syn.nov., and Charactocnemus hintzi Hartmann is treated as a junior synonym of S. bohemani, not S. africanus. A key to species is given. Lectotypes are designated for Heteramphus africanus Boheman and Sclerocardius africanus Schoenherr. A female elytro-tergal stridulatory system involving the modification of the wing-binding patch of the seventh tergite is reported for the Sclerocardiina for the first time and supports the inclusion of the subtribe within the Ithyporini.

Wax Moth

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella Linnaeus, is well known as a pest of honey bees and for the biodegradation of wax and polyethylene by their larvae. The genus Galleria has long been considered monotypic and found worldwide. A taxonomic study of the genus Galleria is presented based on morphological and molecular characters (COI, CAD, wg). A new species (Galleria similis Roh & Song, sp. nov.) is recognized on the Korean peninsula. The new species is superficially similar to G. mellonella but they can be separated by the structures of hindwing venation and male genitalia. Habitus photographs and illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided.
