Shape And Size

Anaulacomera currently contains 147 valid species, of those 50 are recorded from Brazil. The genus is further divided into six subgenera, which can be distinguished on characteristics of the male terminalia. A new Brazilian species is presently proposed, Anaulacomera (Anallomes) curvata sp. nov., based on three males and one female collected at Parque Nacional de Itatiaia, Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro State. It can be distinguished from all other species because of the pair of cerciform projections of the tenth male abdominal tergite and a combination of shape and size of the male cerci.

Hemipsilichthys nimius, new species, is described from the upper Perequê-Açu River in Parati, in the southern coast of Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from the remaining 18 Hemipsilichthys species by modally having eight branched rays in the dorsal fin (vs. seven branched rays), by possessing a posteriorly expanded dorsal-fin membrane connecting the last dorsal-fin ray to the dorsum and, except from H. gobio and H. papillatus, by having teeth cusps equal in size (vs. small lateral cusp or unicuspid teeth in both dentary and premaxilla). From H. gobio and H. papillatus it is further distinguished by the larger orbital diameter and by its V-shaped dorsal-fin spinelet. Hemipsilichthys nimius shares with H. gobio and H. papillatus several characters that might be indicative of close relationships. These putative phylogenetic relationships are discussed.

A New Species

A new species of the freshwater amphipod Hyalella Smith, 1874 is described for the plateau of the Itatiaia National Park, located between the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. This is the first Brazilian species of Hyalella found at more than 2,200 meters of altitude. The specimens were found in a small stream, buried under rocks, in the higher area of the Park. The main morphological characteristics that differentiate the new species are the extreme reduction of the size of the uropod 3, absence of apical setae on telson, absence of comb-scales on gnatopods 1 and 2, absence of curved seta on inner ramus of uropod 1 and sternal gills tubular on pereonites 3 to 7. The new species presents similarities with some cave species of the genus, apparently being troglophile and that is the process of adaptation to the hypogean habitat. The importance of creating new protected areas for the conservation of Hyalella in Brazil is discussed.

A new species of Archisotoma Linnaniemi, 1912 is described and illustrated based on material from littoral sand of Praia do Sossego beach, Niterói municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The new species Archisotoma arariboia sp.nov., the second of the genus described from Brazil, can be distinguished from its congeners by a set of characters: 6+6 eyes, maxillary capitulum unidentate and subequal to internal lamellae, 10 posterior chaetae on manubrium, 4–5 chaetae between the anterior trichobothria and lastly by 1 thick and curved chaetae on trochanter and femur of leg III and 1–2 on femur and 1–2 on tibiotarsus of leg I.

A new species of Pacholenus Schoenherr from southeastern Brazil (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Molytinae), and new occurrences of species of the genus. Pacholenus monteiroi sp. nov. (type-locality Brazil, Rio de Janeiro state, Carapebus, Parque Nacional da Restinga de Jurubatiba) is described and illustrated. The weevil develops as a stem gall-former in Calyptranthes brasiliensis Spreng (Myrtaceae). The new species is easily distinguished from the other five known of the genus by the presence of a prominent supra-ocular ridge. An updated key for identification for all species of Pacholenus is provided. Three species of Pacholenus are presently recorded for the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo; P. pelliceus and P. monteiroi occur in both states, while P. penicillus is only known from Rio de Janeiro; P. hispidus occurs in São Paulo, being the most widespread species of the genus, ranging from Minas Gerais south to Santa Catarina.

ABSTRACT A new species of loricariid catfish is described from the rio Perequê-Açú and surrounding basins, Parati, Rio de Janeiro State. The new species has the accessory process of ceratobranchial 1 more slender than the main body of the ceratobranchial, and a very large sesamoid ossification, markedly greater in size than the interhyal. Additionally, the new species presents a distinct dorsal color pattern consisting of a conspicuous horseshoe shaped light blotch with a central dark area posterior to the supraoccipital.

A new legume species from Southeastern Brazil, Poecilanthe fluminensis, is described and illustrated. It is readily distinguished from the remaining species of the genus by a combination of exclusively unifoliolate leaves with very short petioles (5–9 mm long), red calyx, and strongly dimorphic anthers (short anthers less than ¾ of the length of the longer ones). The new species, P. fluminensis, appears to be endemic to Rio de Janeiro State, Southeastern Brazil.

A new species of Multumbo Roewer, 1927 (Gonyleptidae: Hernandariinae), M. dimorphicus sp. nov., is described from Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil. It presents sexual dimorphism in leg IV, contrasting remarkably with the type species of the hitherto monotypic genus Multumbo and the closest genera (Piassagera Roewer, 1928 and Pseudotrogulus Roewer, 1932), which were all thought to have lost this dimorphism. The presence of sexual dimorphism in M. dimorphicus implies a complex scenario of loss or reversal of this character. New records are given of type species of genus, Multumbo terrenus Roewer, 1913, for which a lectotype is designated. New diagnoses are provided for Hernandariinae and Multumbo. Multumbo and Piassagera are transferred from the Gonyleptinae to the Hernandariinae.Uma nova espécie de Multumbo Roewer, 1927, M. dimorphicus sp. nov., é descrita do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Ela apresenta dimorfismo sexual na perna IV, condição em notável contraste com a espécie-tipo do até então gênero monotípico Multumbo e com os gêneros mais relacionados, Piassagera Roewer, 1928 e Pseudotrogulus Roewer, 1932, nos quais esse dimorfismo era considerado como perdido. A presença de dimorfismo sexual em M. dimorphicus sugere um complexo cenário de perda ou reversão desse dimorfismo. Também foram incluídos novos registros da espécie-tipo do gênero, Multumbo terrenus Roewer, 1913, e um lectótipo é designado. Novas diagnoses para Hernandariinae and Multumbo são apresentadas. Multumbo e Piassagera são aqui transferidos de Gonyleptinae para Hernandariinae.
