A New Species

We describe a new species of dull-colored flea-toad, genus Brachycephalus, from the Atlantic Forest of Caparaó mountains in southeastern Brazil. The new species is characterized by its diminutive size, “leptodactyliform” body, brownish color with an inverted V-shaped dark mark on dorsum, skin smooth, hyperossification and dorsal shield absent, linea masculinea absent, Fingers I and IV vestigial, Toe I externally absent, Toe II reduced but functional, Toes III and IV with pointed tips, Toe V vestigial, and ventral color uniformly brown. It is a leaf litter dweller, known only from type locality in the humid forests on the eastern slopes of Parque Nacional do Caparaó mountains, a protected area in the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. It is the third flea-toad occurring in the state of Espírito Santo recovered as sister to all other Brachycephalus distributed from the state of São Paulo northward in the Atlantic Forest.

Leandra reptans is a new species from montane Atlantic Forest at the state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. It can be recognized by its reptant habit, leaves purple beneath and with a perpendicular, peltate-like insertion of the petiole into the strongly cordate blade base, calyx lobes with a basal constriction and antepetalous stamens with dorsal gland-like appendages.

A New Species

The Atlantic Forest is one of two biodiversity hotspots in Brazil (Mittermeier et al. 1997, Myers et al. 2000). It is the second most diverse (Forzza et al. 2010) and threatened biome because only ca. 11.7% of the Atlantic Forest remains (Ribeiro et al. 2009). Annonaceae are well represented in the Atlantic forest with 92 species, of which 71 are endemic (Maas et al. 2015). In the State of Espírito Santo, there are 12 genera and 44 species (Maas et al. 2015). The majority of genera in Annonaceae that occur in Brazil are represented in Espírito Santo, but previously there were no records of Trigynaea Schlechtendal (1834: 328) for the State.

A New Species

Adults and tadpoles of a new species of the genus Leptodactylus are described from southeastern Brazil. Leptodactylus thomei sp.nov. can be found amidst the leaf litter within cocoa plantations along the northern coastal region of the state of Espírito Santo. It can be distinguished from other species of the Leptodactylus marmoratus group by its advertisement call, which is described, together with agonistic calls, and compared to advertisement calls of other species of the group that occur in southern and southeastern Brazil. The systematics of associated populations is discussed.

Specimens of Gripopterygidae (Plecoptera) from Espírito Santo State and surrounding areas in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, were studied. A new species, Gripopteryx caparao n. sp. is described. The female of Paragripopteryx intervalensis Bispo & Lecci 2011 is described and recorded for a new site. Comments on G. garbei Navás 1936 are presented. New state records are provided for G. cancellata (Pictet 1841), G. reticulata (Brauer 1866), G. juetah Froehlich 1990, G. pilosa Froehlich 1990, P. egena Froehlich 1994, P. intervalensis Bispo & Lecci 2011, P. klapaleki Enderlein 1909, and Tupiperla gracilis (Burmeister 1839).

A New Species

We describe and illustrate Aristolochia assisii, a new species assigned to subseries Anthocaulicae. This subseries is characterized by the presence of extremely short and ramiflorous racemes in which each flower is subtended by a small bract. The inflorescences and the flowers of the new species are morphologically similar to those found in three woody climbers of this subseries (A. bahiensis, A. disticha and A. subglobosa); however, it clearly differs by the herbaceous condition, a trait extremely rare in cauliflorous species that suggests neoteny, and the possession of a long, cylindrical rhizome and a tapered rostrum to 1.2 cm long in the capsule. So far, A. assisii is the third species of the subseries Anthocaulicae known to occur in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.

A New Species

Inselbergs are granitic or gneissic rocky outcrops prevalent in the landscape of southeastern Brazil. These ecosystems represent islands of isolated habitats that harbor a peculiar flora with high richness and endemism. The present study lists the species of vascular plants occurring in the Pedra da Andorinha Complex, located in the municipality of Jerônimo Monteiro/Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, southern Espírito Santo state, aiming to generate subsidies for the creation of a protected area. The survey was performed between July 2017 and October 2018, resulting in a record of 121 species, 96 genera, and 40 families. Bromeliaceae (17), Orchidaceae (12) and Fabaceae (10) were the richest families. The phytophysiognomy of exposed rock vegetation comprises a greater number of species (79 species) compared to the woody rupicolous communities (42). Eighteen of the collected species are threatened by extinction; a new species was discovered; and five were described based on materials previously collected in the studied location — Alcantarea patriae, Anthurium martinellii, Coleocephalocereus uebelmanniorum, Stigmatodon attenuatoides and Pitcairnia azouryi, the first four being endemic to the region. We also found Tabebuia reticulata, a rare species among Brazilian flora. Our results highlight the biological importance of the Pedra das Andorinhas Complex and reinforce the need to create a protected area to preserve biodiversity and the regional natural heritage.

Alcantarea patriae Versieux & Wand. (Bromeliaceae, Tillandsioideae), a new species from southeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. It grows on inselbergs within the Atlantic Forest vegetation at Jerônimo Monteiro County, Espírito Santo State. The new taxon shows some morphological similarities with A. odorata (Leme) J.R. Grant, having ligulate long attenuate leaves and sweet scent yellow flowers. However, A. patriae has a very characteristic inflorescence, with the primary bracts shorter than the lateral peduncles, suberect to erect flowering branches (vs. patent to pendulous in A. odorata), with more spaced flowers (20-30 vs. 8-15 mm) and also a wider rosette, up to 1.6 m diam.
