Hemipterans and ants are frequently recorded in trophobiotic associations, generally mutualism. Nests of the fire-ant Solenopsis virulens (Smith) found at the base of trees in the Atlantic Forest biome, Brazil, were investigated for their commensal fauna. The present study provides new information about the mutualism between the fire-ant with hemipterans Membracidae and Monophlebidae found in their nests, this report is the first mention of this kind of relationships in South America. Such associations are very common between ants and treehoppers but have seldom been reported with the family Monophlebidae.

This study report the first record of Allamanda blanchetii Kunth in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. This species was collected from an upland forest in Semi-deciduous Seasonal Forest. This occurrence adds new information about the distribution of this species and expands its range to Brazil, which is important for its conservation. We provide taxonomic information, distribution maps, conservation status assessment, photograps, and an identification key for the Allamanda L. species in the Atlantic Forest.

Two species of hubbardiid microwhipscorpions (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae) are recorded from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Rowlandius linsduarteae sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens from Mata do Buraquinho forest reserve, João Pessoa, state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. This species is apparently related to Rowlandius sul Cokendolpher & Reddell 2000, the only species of the genus known from continental South America, and represents new evidence of a biogeographic relationship between Amazonia and the northeastern Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Stenochrus portoricensis Chamberlin, a widely distributed species, is newly recorded from the states of São Paulo and Bahia, respectively, in southeastern and northeastern Brazil. The latter record refers to several female specimens associated with abandoned arboreal termite nests in a cocoa plantation.

Rhagomys rufescens is a rare, arboreal sigmodontine rodent endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome. This species is known from eight localities in Brazil. Here we present a new report based on four individuals of this species registered in Serra do Ouro Branco, municipality of Ouro Branco (Minas Gerais, Brazil). One juvenile male, one adult male and two juvenile females were captured in pitfall traps during the rainy season, in a study of small mammal ecology. This is the first record for the Espinhaço Mountain range and the northernmost report for the species in this state, 85 km northeast of the last registered location.

RESUMO. A fauna de Passalidae é pouco conhecida no Sudeste do Brasil, uma região com domínio de Mata Atlântica que inclui uma fitofisionomia tropical típica da costa brasileira, com elementos distintos de geologia e geografia. O estudo foi conduzido em sete unidades de conservação do bioma de Mata Atlântica e forneceu uma lista das espécies de Passalinae com mapas de distribuição dos gêneros para a região Sudeste. A diversidade de Passalidae do Sudeste do Brasil incluiu 44 espécies, das quais 37 apresentam registros nas áreas de conservação com base no material coletado que recuperou 30 espécies. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus Dalman, 1817, Passalus (Passalus) denticollis  Kaup, 1869 e Passalus (Passalus) punctiger Lepeletier &Serville, 1825 foram as espécies mais abundantes, representando 49% dos indivíduos coletados. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus é a espécie mais abundante no bioma do Sudeste. Com base em uma ampla amostra de material examinado de diversas instituições, assinalamos 25 novas localidades, sendo 11 novos registros para estados do Brasil e sete registros para outros países da América do Sul, promovendo acréscimos para a distribuição das espécies do Sudeste do Brasil. Passalus nasutus  Percheron, 1835 tem novos comentários taxônomicos para elucidar um problema com Passalus (Passalus) curtus Kaup, 1869, onde o primeiro é restrito ao Brasil e o segundo a Colômbia.ABSTRACT. The Passalidae fauna is poorly known in the southeasternof Brazil, a region with Atlantic Forest thatincludes typical tropical phyto-physiognomies of the Brasilian coast, with distinctive geology and geography. This is the first study in seven areas of conservation of the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil, and intends to list the species of Passalinae. Actually, the diversity of Passalidae fauna from southeastern of Brazil increase to 44 species, of which 30 were collected and are accurately recorded in remnants of Atlantic Forest biome. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus Dalman, 1817, Passalus (Passalus) denticollis Kaup, 1869 and Passalus (Passalus) punctiger Lepeletier & Serville, 1825 were the most abundant, representing over 49% of individuals. Passalus (Pertinax) convexus is one of the most typical species from the Atlantic Forest biome in the Southeast. Based on a large sample of material examined from several institutions, we found 25 new locations, 11 new records for the states of Brazil and seven records to other countries in South America, promoting additions to the distribution of species in Southeast Brazil. Passalus nasutus Percheron, 1835 have new unambiguous comemmts to elucidate Passalus (Passalus) curtus Kaup, 1869, where the former species is restricted to Brazil and the latter is restricted to Colombia.

Brazil is considered one of the richest countries in Piper species in South America, with the genus being considered one of the most representative of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The aim of this study is to improve the knowledge about Piper in the northeastern region of Brazil, and to this end, we recorded the taxa that occur in the eastern portion of this region. Collection expeditions were conducted in the study area between August 2017 and July 2019, 21 herbaria were visited, and other internationally important collections were consulted online. Thirty tree taxa were registered, from which one was recorded for the northeastern region for the first time (P. nematanthera), besides 11 new records for at least one of the states. We present a synopsis with comments about morphology, habitat and phenology.

Cactaceae Juss. is a family which comprises 124 genera and about 1438 species distributed from Canada to Patagonia, with the largest diversity in tropical and subtropical regions of Americas (see e.g., Hunt et al. 2006). The flora of Brazil includes 39 Cactaceae genera and 261 species, of which 14 genera and 54 species can be found the Rio de Janeiro state, highlighting the importance of this state to the biodiversity of Brazilian cacti (see BFG 2015). These species are highly affected by anthropic disturbances, which cause rapid habitat destruction, especially affecting the narrowly distributed endemic taxa, with 31% of the family being threatened, demonstrating the high anthropogenic pressures on the biodiversity in arid lands (Goettsch et al. 2015).
