Two New Species

This study presents the first records of the subfamily Lestremiinae and the genus Insulestremia Jaschhof in Brazil. Insulestremia, a previously monotypic genus described from the Galapagos Islands, has three species in Brazil: I. sinclairi Jaschhof, I. amorimi sp. nov. and I. amenti sp. nov. The new species are described, the generic concept is reviewed, and a key to the species of Insulestremia is provided.

Lack Of Knowledge

Thirteen centiped species and one symphylan are reported from the Galápagos Islands. Hanseniella caldaria (Hansen) is the first symphylan reported from the Galápagos Islands. Among the centipeds, Hemiscolopendra galapagosa Chamberlin is a new synonym of Scolopendra galapagoensis Bollman and should be deleted from the Galápagos list. Cormocephalus andinus Kraepelin, its probable junior synonym C. carolus Chamberlin, and Nannopodellus purpurascens Chamberlin, previously reported from the Galápagos Islands, were not in any collections made from 1974 to the present and may be extinct on the islands. Lamyctes coeculus (Brölemann), Lamyctes fulvicornis Meinert, and Newportia monticola Pocock are new records, and first appear in collections made in 1974. Two new species, Pectiniunguis krausi and Pachymerium perdrai, are described. The former had been misidentified previously as Pectiniunguis albermarlensis Chamberlin. While Pectiniunguis albemarlensis and Scolopendra galapagoensis may be Galápagos endemics, lack of knowledge about the centiped fauna of source areas precludes definitive statements.

Three New Species

AbstractThree new species ofDiploiciaare described from the Galapagos Islands and a fourth,D. glebosa, is transferred fromPyxine; all four are considered endemic to the archipelago. In order to accommodate these species, the generic concept ofDiploiciahas been emended. Two of the species are sterile;D. leproidicais placodioid-leproid, where the thalli derive from pseudocorticate granules aggregating into small, placodioid rosettes with distinctly lobate margins. The second sterile species,D. squamulosa, forms scattered squamules that eventually aggregate into small, placodioid rosettes. The two fertile species,D. glebosa, with an olivaceous to beige, smooth, epruinose upper surface, andD. neotropica, with a white to grey-white, roughened, pruinose upper surface, form larger thalli typical ofDiploicia, have apothecia that are initially lecideine, but are soon engulfed and hidden by a thick thalline margin. Anatomically the proper exciple remains visible for a considerable part of the ontogeny, although it eventually becomes almost completely reduced to a few pigmented or almost hyaline hyphae. This transition from lecideine to lecanorine apothecia is similar to thephysciaeformis-type ontogeny observed in somePyxinespecies. Several species currently accommodated inBuellias. lat. with diploicin and effigurate thalli that lack distinctly lobate margins are discussed and the Socotran endemicPhyscia endopyxineais transferred intoDiploicia.

First Time

Two new species of Thomisidae are described (Mecaphesa reddelli sp. nov. and Tmarus galapagosensis sp. nov.). Of a third species, Mecaphesa inclusa (Banks, 1902), three colour variations are described. Tmarus specimens previously listed from the islands have always erroneously been called T. stolzmanni Keyserling, 1880. The Philodromidae are mentioned for the first time for the archipelago and are represented by two new species: Apollophanes fitzroyi sp. nov. and Apollophanes (?) lonesome-georgei sp. nov.

A New Species

Elachiptera cultrata sp. nov. is described from the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. This species is most similar to the northern Neotropical species E. attenuata (Adams), except for the shape of the arista and the male genitalia. The monotypic genus Ceratobarys is synonymized with Elachiptera, and its type species C. eulophus (Loew) transferred to Elachiptera as E. eulophus comb. nov. The only morphological character that distinguishes the two genera is the presence of a long, apical, hind-tibial spur in Ceratobarys. Although this character defines some apparently monophyletic genera of Chloropidae, its presence and size are subject to homoplasy in other genera. The presence of a small hind-tibial spur in some species of Elachiptera, and the great similarity in other external and genitalic characters between Ceratobarys and some species of Elachiptera makes recognition of Ceratobarys untenable.
