We describe a colorful and distinctively patterned, karst-dwelling pitviper, Trimeresurus kuiburi sp. nov., from the isolated, coastal massif of Khao Sam Roi Yot in Kui Buri District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, in northern Peninsular Thailand. The new species, member of the ‘Cryptelytrops group’ sensu Malhotra & Thorpe (2004) and morphologically and genetically allied to Trimeresurus kanburiensis and T. venustus, differs from all pitviper taxa by a combination of red/purple bands on a green dorsum; a white concave suborbital stripe in males (straight and less visible in females); white, spaced vertebral dots in males (absent in females); pale green belly lacking dark dots or stripe on the lateral sides of the ventrals; partially fused first supralabial and nasal scale; 19 dorsal scale rows at midbody; 164–171 ventrals; 63–65 subcaudals in males, 51–53 in females; maximal known SVL of 451 mm; and long, papillose hemipenes.

A New Species

Discovery of populations south of Elandshaai of a small-flowered plant closely allied to Babiana ringens led to a critical re-evaluation of this sunbird-pollinated Western Cape species. We conclude that these populations represent a new species, B. avicularis, recognized by long, arching, subterete leaves, and flowers with the lower part of the perianth tube sigmoid and ± 4 mm long, a dorsal tepal 15-18 mm long, pale green lower tepals directed forward, and a style dividing below the bases of the anthers. In addition, the southern coastal populations of B. ringens merit recognition as a separate subsp. australis, recognized by the smaller flower, filaments not reaching the apex of the dorsal tepal and the style dividing at or below the bases of the anthers. Field work along the Western Cape coast also resulted in the discovery of a new species, B. teretifolia, allied to the distinctive B. brachystachys but differing from that species in the linear, spreading, twisted tepals, filaments 12 mm long, white anthers 5.5-6.0 mm long, and the style dividing opposite the anther tips, with branches ± 5 mm long and notched at the tips.

Echeveria cerrograndensis, a new species from eastern Sierra de Manantlán, in the Jalisco-Colima border, Western Mexico, is described and illustrated. This species belongs to series Gibbiflorae, it is morphologically related to E. fulgens but it differs from the latter in having smaller habit, margin straight to slightly undulate; glaucous to pale green or reddish leaves; lower number of flowers per branch and lower total number of flowers; shorter inflorescences, none bicolored corolla, and dark red thecae and nectaries. A key for the species of the E. fulgens complex is provided.

Newly described are two new species of Spiloxene Salisb.:  S. nana Snijman from the Bokkeveld Escarpment, Northern Cape Province, is a shade-loving plant with narrow, pale green leaves and small, white or rarely cream-coloured flowers; S. pusilla Snijman from the Matsikamma, Gifberg and Pakhuis Mountains. Western Cape Province, resembles S. nana in habit but the yellow- or white-tepalled flowers which are tetramerous or hexamerous have darkly coloured stamens and style and an ovary with a short, solid, narrow prolongation at the apex. Inhabiting rock overhangs formed by quartzitic sandstone sheets, both species are close allies of S. scullyi (Baker) Garside from Namaqualand.

We characterized and compared taxonomic features of two species of tree crickets Oecanthus in tobacco plantation and adja-cent native trees and bushes at Southern Brazil. The marked differences between species included Oecanthus n. sp. with pale-green body, pale-yellow head, greenish-white eyes, file teeth number 32.8±1.2 (31–34, n = 6) and hindwings caudate. Oecan-thus lineolatus is slightly darker as pale-green, with pale-green head, yellow eyes, hind femur variegated with translucent andpale-green, file teeth number 47±2.2 (42–51, n = 18) and hindwings non caudate. Both species also differ in calling song dominant frequency and temporal parameters, as well as in the morphology of metanotal gland.

Two new species, Calanthe insularis S.H.Oh, H.J.Suh & C.-W.Park and Calanthe rubra S.H.Oh, H.J.Suh & C.-W.Park, are described, illustrated, and compared with closely related species. Calanthe insularis, distributed in the southwestern region of Korea and Tsushima Island in Japan, is morphologically similar to C. aristulifera and C. striata, but it is distinguished from the last two species in its creamy yellow and pale orange-yellow flowers, arcuate spur as long as the lip, pale orange-yellow pedicels, and green ovary with pale green ridges. Calanthe rubra, from Gageodo Island, Korea, is similar to C. striata and C. insularis, but differs from them in its much smaller flowers with purplish red sepals and petals and the white spur.

A New Species

A new species of Oecanthus is described from Mexico. Oecanthus mhatreaesp. nov. occurs in central Mexico in the understory of tropical deciduous forest. Oecanthus mhatreaesp. nov. is currently known only from the Corregidora area of the Mexican state of Querétaro. The widened tegmina and chirp-like brief trills song are consistent with some members of the rileyi species group; however, this new species of tree cricket is different in several aspects. The chirp-like brief trills are generally irregularly spaced, it does not have the expected grouping of the chirp pulses, and the colors of buff, light olive green, or light brown are vastly different than the four known pale green species in the rileyi species group of the Western Hemisphere. Morphology, habitat, and song details of this new species, with the common name of Otomi tree cricket, are provided in this paper. Video can be viewed at www.oecanthinae.com.
