A new species of Specklinia with a repent growth habit and minute purple flowers is described and illustrated. The new species is distinguished from Specklinia wrightii based on its morphological and molecular distinctness from that species. The phylogenetic placement of the new species is provided based on an nrITS tree. The species described here represents the first new orchid to be described from material originating from the Parc National Naturel Macaya in six years. New combinations are made in Acianthera for species of Kraenzlinella and Pleurothallis subgen. Antilla embedded within the genus. In particular Kraenzlinella rinkei is provided as a new synonym for Specklinia montezumae and Specklinia simpliciflora is transferred to Acianthera sect. Antilla based on morphology and geographic distribution.

Ganoderma is a cosmopolitan genus of fungi with species distributed in temperate and tropical regions. Species of Ganoderma in living Leguminosae were observed in Park de la Salud in Pance, Cali, Colombia and we record G. multiplicatum for the first time from Colombia. A distribution map of this genus in the Neotropical region is presented.

Strix huhula Daudin, 1800 is widely distributed species of owl in the Neotropical region. However, this species is considered rare in nature due to its dependence on forested habitat and low adaptive capacity to survive in anthropogenic environments. There are scattered records throughout Brazil. Here, we provide the first record of S. huhula in a savanna–dry forest ecotone in Piauí state. This expands the geographic distribution of S. huhula to northeastern Brazil.

Definition Of

With 193 described species, Chusquea is the most diverse bamboo genus in the Neotropical region. Brazil, with 48 accepted species and 44 of them endemic, is one of its major centers of diversity. Among the Brazilian species, C. anelythra was only superficially characterized in its original publication almost 200 years ago, without a clear definition of its type-material, description of culm leaves, or comments on its geographic distribution or related species. As the absence of such information has greatly complicated the taxonomic delimitation of C. anelythra, the major aim of this paper is to clarify the identity of this species based on fieldwork and herbarium investigation, providing an emended description, illustrations, and photos of this species. We also designate a lectotype for the name C. anelythra, and provide a morphological comparison with two similar members of the C. meyeriana informal group. Geographic distribution and conservation status are also updated for this species.

Umbyquyra gen. nov., a new Theraphosinae genus with stridulatory bristles on the palpal trocanther of pedipalp trochanter and first leg, is proposed. The genus differs from the other genera with stridulatory bristles on the same segments, Acanthoscurria Ausserer, 1871, Cyrtopholis Simon, 1892, Longilyra Gabriel, 2014 and Nesipelma Schmidt & Kovarik, 1996, by having a palpal bulb with a very short and acuminate embolus and four short keels; separated tibial apophysis; and female spermathecae resembling those of Cyrtopholis, with two seminal receptacles with elongated ducts emerging from a common area. Cyrtopholis palmarum Schiapelli & Gerschman, 1945 and C. schmidti Rudloff, 1996 from Brazil and Acanthoscurria acuminata Schmidt & Tesmoingt in Schmidt, 2005 from Bolivia are transferred to the new genus. The female of Umbyquyra palmarum (Schiapelli & Gerschman, 1945) gen. et comb. nov. and the male of U. schmidti (Rudloff, 1996) gen. et comb. nov. are described for the first time. Cyrtopholis zorodes Mello-Leitão, 1923 is considered a junior synonym of Acanthoscurria gomesiana Mello-Leitão, 1923 and Cyrtopholis meridionalis (Keyserling, 1891) is considered a nomen dubium. Eight new species from Brazil are described: Umbyquyra paranaiba gen. et sp. nov., U. cuiaba gen. et sp. nov., U. araguaia gen. et sp. nov., U. sapezal gen. et sp. nov., U. belterra gen. et sp. nov., U. caxiuana gen. et sp. nov., U. tucurui gen. et sp. nov. and U. tapajos gen. et sp. nov. Data and maps on the geographic distribution are provided.

Taxonomic Changes

Sirrhas Champion and its type, S. limbatus Champion, are redescribed and S. variegatus, sp. nov., is described, along with its presumed larva. The two species are distinguished in a key and comments are made on their geographic distribution and habits. Sirrhas is compared with members of the Chalcodryidae, in which the genus is currently placed, and with the tenebrionoid taxa Melytra Pascoe, Parahelops Waterhouse, Perimylopidae and Zopheridae, each of which is discussed and delimited. A phylogenetic analysis is carried out on a matrix of 21 genera of Tenebrionoidea and 31 characters taken from both larvae and adults. As a result, the following taxonomic changes are proposed: (1) Sirrhas to be moved from Chalcodryidae to Perimylopidae, and the latter group expanded to include Melytra and Parahelops, and (2) the zopherid subfamily Ulodinae, including Pteroderes Germain and Trachyderastes Kaszab, but excluding Melytra and Parahelops, to be raised to family rank. The remaining Zopheridae form a monophyletic group with Colydiidae and Monommatidae, but relationships within that complex are not discussed further. A key to the genera of Ulodidae and Perimylopidae based on adults is given. The following new combinations are proposed in Ulodidae: Ganyme tuberculata (Carter) and G. demarzi (Kulzer).

Key To Species

AbstractSeven new species in three genera are described and illustrated from the Neotropical region. New species include: Docalidia argutiae from Brazil, D. testa, D. acus, D. filamenta from Peru, D. lamina from Ecuador, Perulidia lobata from Ecuador and Stalolidia curta from Brazil. A revised key to species in the genera Perulidia and Stalolidia is also presented. Five species are briefly discussed and illustrated to show intraspecific variation in relation to geographic distribution.
