Dicranocentrus heloisae Arlé & Mendonça 1982 is redescribed based on specimens collected from its type locality, “Parque Nacional da Tijuca”, Rio de Janeiro municipality, State of Rio de Janeiro. The presence of 6+6 macrochaetae S, 1+1 macrochaeta P, and absence of macrochaetae A1 and Ps dorsally on head, puts Dicranocentrus heloisae in the gracilis-group sensu Mari-Mutt (1979). This species is easily indentified mainly due to general color pattern of pale yellow on body with bluish to blackish pigmentation on head. Taxonomic characteristics not illustrated in the original description are given (dorsal cephalic chaetotaxy, sensory organ of the third antennal segment, eyes, labrum, maxillary palp, outer labial papilla, labial triangle, trochanteral organ, femur, tibiotarsus, unguis, ventral tube and tenaculum). New records from other localities in Brazil are provided. A neotype for Dicranocentrus heloisae is designated.

S. cerradense Coscar n, Cerqueira, Sato & La Salvia (1992) was described based on pharate females and males, and pupae and larvae. Reared adults from the type locality region have different color patterns than those in the original description. The objectives of the present study are to redescribe the scutal color pattern of S. cerradense adults and to provide a list of black fly species collected in streams in the western region of Bahia state, where this fauna is poorly known.

ABSTRACT Cladodes illigeri (Kirby, 1818) is redescribed, and can be distinguished by the following features: color pattern overall black, paired spots and elytral margins pale yellow; pygidium bisinuate, posterior angles rounded, as long as median margin; and aedeagus with phallus 1/3 shorter than the parameres, which are sinuated apically. Cladodes lamellicornis (Motschulsky, 1854) is proposed as a junior synomym of C. illigeri. New records from the Atlantic Rainforest and illustrations for structural features are provided.

A New Species

A new species of Cosmetidae belonging to the genus Metavononoides Roewer, 1928 is herein described. Metavononoides melanacanthus sp. nov. is clearly recognized by its distinctive tarsal formula, its long legs (reaching over 60 mm), and by its characteristic color pattern. The new species is the twelfth species included in the genus. It is known only from two localities: the type locality, Barra de São João, Casimiro de Abreu and from Aldeia Velha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

We report the rediscovery of Lonchophylla bokermanni – a species threatened by extinction in Brazil – in Minas Gerais after 25 years (where it was known only from the type-locality), and add three new localities from Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. The external and craniodental measurements of the additional specimens fall within the expected range of values for L. bokermanni, although specimens from the Atlantic Rainforest (Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo) show a tendency to be smaller.

Morphological Variations

The genus Naineris differs from other genera of the Orbiniidae in that all its species possess a rounded prostomium and one or two achaetous rings. Currently, 21 species of this genus have been described worldwide, five of which are recorded from Brazil. Naineris aurantiaca is the only species originally described from the Brazilian coast and the original description is the only record of this species. The description is short and vague, making identification difficult. From recent samples obtained in the type locality of Florianópolis, Brazil, we were able to study specimens of Naineris aurantiaca and redescribe the species. Diagnostic characters for this species are the presence of pre- and post-branchial papillae, anterior branchiae in thoracic segments considerably smaller than those of the rest of the body, distinct dorsal sensory organ from chaetiger 12 onwards, the chaetal arrangement of the thoracic neuropodia (crenulated capillaries in a lower oblique row, uncini in an upper oblique row, subuluncini in two anterior transverse rows, and acicular spines in a posterior row), interramal papillae only present on abdominal parapodia, and the presence of furcate chaetae in the abdominal notopodia. Here, we designate a neotype for the species and discuss the morphological variations we observed among specimens.

During surveys of anurans in the Chapada Diamantina, a semiarid region in central Bahia, Brazil, we obtained new records of Strabomantis aramunha Cassimiro, Verdade and Rodrigues. The new records extend the geographic distribution of S. aramunha in about 200 km north and 75 km south in relation to the type locality (municipality of Mucugê, state of Bahia, Brazil). We observed males calling at night at the Morro do Pai Inácio, municipality of Palmeiras. This new data is important, as in the original description the authors suggested the possibility of absence of advertisement call in the species. We also provide additions on color and morphometric data.

Until now, Juliomys rimofrons Oliveira and Bonvicino, 2002 has been known only from the type locality, the county of Itamonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Based on morphological and karyological examinations, in this study we identified two new records for this species. Both records correspond to individuals collected at Serra da Bocaina National Park, in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil. These records increase the species’ geographic range southwards, approximately 100 km from the type locality.

All are endemic to southwestern Amazonia and, in Brazil, known only from Acre.

It was described from the “Parque Nacional da Tijuca” and its distribution was previously restricted to Tijuca Forest, located in Rio de Janeiro State. Here we report the second record for the specie with distance about 320 km from its type locality and first record of the genus in the Espírito Santo state.

The Ichneumonidae species belonging to the subfamilies Cylloceriinae Wahl, 1990 and Microleptinae Townes, 1958 collected in different parts of Poland and Ukrainian Carpathians are listed. Allomacrus longecaudatus (Strobl, 1903) and the genus Rossemia Humala, 1997 with a species, R. longithorax Humala, 1997, are recorded for the first time from Ukraine, representing the third records of species for a European country after the original description. The genus Entypoma Förster, 1869 with two species, E. robustator Aubert, 1968 and E. suspiciosum (Förster, 1871) is the first reliable modern record of the genus for Poland. The subfamily Microleptinae is reliably recorded for the first time from Ukraine. A key to European species of the genus Allomacrus Förster, 1869 is also provided.
