Two new species of Protonemura Kempny, 1898, P. lupina sp. n., from the Castellane Prealps and the southern Mercantour region in the French Maritime Alps, and P. alexidis sp. n., from the southern flank of the Massif Central, are described, illustrated, and compared to their closest relative species P. risi (Jacobson & Bianchi, 1905) and P. spinulosa (Navás, 1921). Information on distribution and ecological preferences of these new species is provided.

Two New Species

Two new species of Paravelia – P. loutoni and P. reclusa – are described from water-filled bamboo internodes in the forests of eastern Peru. Color dorsal habitus photographs of both species and line drawings of key male genitalic characters are provided, accompanied by a distribution map. Line drawings of the male genitalic structures of P. myersi Hungerford, the closest putative relative to these two new species, are also provided for comparison. Although Neotropical Veliidae have been previously reported from bromeliad phytotelmata, the current results from bamboo internodes are the first records for veliid utilization of this habitat in the Western Hemisphere, and indicate that further samples from such habitats are likely to result in the discovery of other heretofore undetected veliid species. New records are also provided for 12 other previously described Paravelia species; the new records serve to clarify the geographic ranges and ecological preferences of these taxa.

Two New Species

Two new species of Encyonema are described from Central-western Brazil, bringing the total number of species in this genus recorded in Brazil to 45. Encyonema menezesiae has lanceolate valves with the ends subcapitate to rostrate-capitate, whereas E. candangense has linear valves with indistinct ends. The two species show deep alveoli, linear foramina, and densely areolate striae. These characteristics, together with the narrow valves, distinguish E. menezesiae and E. candangense from related taxa. The new species occurred in slightly acid and mostly oligotrophic waters. Similar aquatic environments in this region are being drastically affected by the use of biocides and fertilizers for agriculture. The description of these two species and their ecological preferences may provide useful information for the preservation of aquatic systems and their communities in Brazil.

Bush Cricket

The bush cricket genus Eupholidoptera, distributed across the northern Mediterranean Basin from Southern France to Israel, is reviewed. An illustrated key for males is presented. Two new species are described: Eupholidoptera helina Çiplak sp. n. and Eupholidoptera kykladica Heller & Fer Willemse & Luc Willemse sp. n.. Four species are synonymised: Eupholidoptera raggei Salman with Eupholidoptera marashensis Salman, Eupholidoptera karatolosi Mofidi-Neyestanak & Quicke and Eupholidoptera kinzelbachi Harz with Eupholidoptera megastyla (Ramme) and Eupholidoptera mirzayani Mofidi-Neyestanak & Quicke is synonymised with Apholidoptera kurda (Uvarov). Based on the male genitalia two large species groups can be distinguished within Eupholidoptera: the Eupholidoptera chabrieri group with 20 species and the Eupholidoptera prasina group with 26 species. Data relating to the male calling song of 25 species are presented. Contrary to other genera of Pholidopterini male calling songs in Eupholidoptera are relatively invariable and consist of series of isolated syllables. Since morphology is variable and the calling songs are rather invariable, radiation within the genus is the result of divergence in genitalia.

A New Species

Abstract Two new species of Thermosbaenacea are described from various locations in southern France. One species is Limnosbaena occidentalis n. sp., a species that has been known since 1967 and has long been awaiting a formal description, the other is Tethysbaena exigua n. sp., a very small species that represents a new species-group within the genus and has more morphological affinities with the Caribbean Tethysbaena sanctaecrucis species-group than with any other group. Furthermore, some considerations about the origin and ecology of these species are given. Three species distributed over the families of Halosbaenidae and Monodellidae are now known in France within a radius of 80 km around Marseille, one of which has also been identified in the alluvial aquifer of the Dordogne river.

Variability of populations of the brachypterous Erythria taxa in the northern Apennines and Maritime Alps is investigated, figured and discussed in the context of possible hybridization between E. ferrarii (Puton) and E. alpina (Vidano). Kybos albitalicus sp. nov., a species closely related to K. virgator (Ribaut) and living together with this species on Salix alba (L.), and Arboridia itangulata sp. nov., with clear affinity to A. expansa Zachvatkin, are described as new. Several Tamaricella populations from Italy including Sardinia and Sicily, collected on Frankenia laevis L. and Tamarix spp. and provisionally classified as T. cf. ribauti (Zachvatkin) are compared in genital morphology, measurements and coloration. Taxonomic problems concerning T. ribauti and related species are discussed. The aedeagus and pygofer appendage of Tamaricella gr. cypria (Ribaut) from Pantelleria are figured.

A New Species

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.
