Glyptothorax rupiri, a new sisorid catfish, is described from the Brahmaputra River basin in Arunachal Pradesh, northeast India. It differs from its congeners in the Indian subcontinent by the following combination of characters: the presence of plicae on the ventral surface of the pectoral spine and first pelvic-fin ray; a posteriorly serrated dorsal-fin spine, its length 11.3–12.2% SL; body depth at anus 11.2–13.4% SL; a thoracic adhesive apparatus longer than broad, with a V-shaped median depression which opens posteriorly; an arrow-shaped anterior nuchal plate element; adipose-fin base length 10.9–12.6% SL; nasal barbel not reaching anterior orbital margin; 14–18 serrae on posterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine; body with two longitudinal pale-cream stripes; densely tuberculated skin; and the presence of numerous tubercles on the dorsal surface of pectoral and pelvic-fin rays.

Abstract A description is provided for Clonostachys candelabrum, usually found on pine debris (typically dead, wet and blackened needles, twigs and cones attached to trash). Some information on its morphology, habitat, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, South Africa, USA (District of Columbia, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington), Brazil (Pernambuco), Chile, Venezuela, India (Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh), Japan, Korea Republic, Syria, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Spain (Canary Islands), Australia (Australian Capital Territory), New Zealand, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Belarus, Belgium, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia (Leningrad Oblast, Samara Oblast, Tver Oblast), Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine and UK) and host (Pinus sylvestris).

Abstract Home gardens have considerable biodiversity conservation potential. However, these spaces are unplanned, and there is little information about the flora diversity in the backyards of different social classes. The current study has quantified and compared plant diversity in the backyards of two neighborhoods located in the metropolitan region of Maringá - RMM (Paraná, Brazil), namely, Conjunto Triangulo and Zona 02. The diversity patterns were markedly different when the neighborhoods were compared. Therefore the present study has set some planning guidelines aiming at increasing the presence of woody vegetation, as well as at contributing to biodiversity conservation, including the conservation of endangered plant species, in the backyards of the RMM.

Specimens of a rare rhacophorid frog of the genus Theloderma were collected from Hmuifang, Mizoram, India. Based on their morphology and molecular analysis (16S rRNA), the specimens were identified as Theloderma moloch, a rare species previously recorded only from the Himalayan foothills of India and China. The present record significantly extends the known range of the species and is a first record for the state of Mizoram and Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. The uncorrected p-distance between the specimen from Mizoram, NE India and the specimen from Arunachal Pradesh, India (KU169993) and Tibet, China (KU243081) are 0.0% and 1.2% respectively.
