The mangrove killifish Kryptolebias herma­phro­ditus is reported to the southeast and northeast regions of Brazil. Recently, a specimen of K. hermaphroditus was collected in a shallow running seawater stream at Ajuruteua beach, Pará state, northern Brazil. This new record is ca. 1,350 km from the nearest previously known occurrence in Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil. Morphological, molecular, and ecological aspects of this species are described.

The White-tipped Plantcutter Phytotoma rutila has only one documented record for Brazil, that occurred in 1974 in the extreme west of Rio Grande do Sul. We report herein a second record - one individual photographed in April 2009 at a dunefield in the municipality of Capão da Canoa, northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul, about 700 km from the previous one. This new record corroborates the status of vagrant for this species in Brazil.

This study provides the first record of the exotic invasive bivalve Isognomon bicolor for the State of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil. It has been found to occur in at least twelve coastal reefs along the coast. We also present its first record for the State of Alagoas and new record localities for the States of Rio Grande do Norte and Pernambuco, including its occurrence in hypersaline estuaries. From these records the distribution range of I. bicolor has been expanded to the littoral region of Northeast Brazil, where this invasive species seems well established.

In the present work we report the first record of Chiroderma trinitatum Goodwin, 1958 for the state of Rondônia, northern Brazil. A map with all known records of C. trinitatum from Brazil is also presented. The record is based on a fluid preserved specimen with skull removed. The new record, though expected, fills a distributional gap in the Amazonic region of Brazil.

The present study describes a new site of occurrence for the genus Lopescladius in Brazil and reports the first record for the Piranhas-Açu River basin, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. This new occurrence expands the distribution of the genus and adds to the knowledge of the chironomid fauna. The presence of this genus in an intermittent stream highlights the importance of future research on this type of aquatic system as well as ecological aspects related to Lopescladius.

Furipterus horrens is an insectivorous bat that occurs from Costa Rica to southeastern Bolivia and southern Brazil, with records in the Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes. Despite this broad distributional range across South America, the species is currently known from few localities, and its habitat preferences are poorly known. We report the first record of Furipterus horrens for the Tocantins state, northern Brazil, based on four individuals collected in two caves surrounded by Neotropical savanna (Cerrado) in the Aurora do Tocantins municipality.

The genus Rhynchospora Vahl has about 354 species with concentration in tropical America. In Brazil, Rhynchospora is the most abundant genus of the family, with 157 species, of which 40 are considered endemic. With the knowledge obtained in field trips, literature and herbaria reviewed, this work aims to contribute to the taxonomy of the genus Rhynchospora. As main results we highlight the synonymization of Rhynchospora glaziovii and R. floribunda, R. robusta and R. semihirsuta, and R. uniflora and R. biflora. A new description for R. conferta, which is a valid species and has been considered as a synonym of R. robusta, is also presented. During the review, we found a new record to Rio Grande do Sul, R. splendens. A diagnosis of all these species are provided, as well as new lectotypes and neotypes designations.

As Unidades de Conservação instituídas no Brasil tem empreendido esforços para proteger a diversidade ecológica e cultural do país, entretanto, o uso destes espaços dissociado de políticas de manejo, conservação e sensibilização da população local e dos visitantes tem reproduzido um cenário de degradação ambiental. A Área de Relevante Interesse Ecológico Econômico (ARIE) Mata da Bica, criada no município de Portalegre, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, através do decreto municipal 002/2016, destaca-se pelos seus atributos naturais, representados pelas nascentes perenes, a Cachoeira do Pinga e a mata subcaducifólia associada. Apesar do potencial ambiental, a unidade não dispõe ainda do seu plano de manejo, e o uso público ocorre de maneira desordenada. Tendo em vista esta problemática, este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o uso público da ARIE Mata da Bica e propor alternativas de uso coerentes com a conservação e o bem-estar social. Para isso, a coleta de dados se deteve às técnicas de georreferenciamento, registro fotográfico, check list, e aplicação de 119 questionários. Os principais resultados obtidos constataram que a maioria dos visitantes da ARIE não reside em Portalegre (77%); e que estes, apesar de estarem visitando uma Unidade de Conservação, desconhecem o termo (65%) e 79% não sabe o significado de ARIE; Quanto ao uso público, as atividades de educação ambiental, turismo científico e observação de aves foram eleitas como possibilidades para a Mata da Bica, que atualmente é utilizada principalmente para fins de balneabilidade e contemplação paisagística. Mediante o destaque do local como um polo turístico regional, de aspectos ecológicos relevantes, acredita-se que o diagnóstico proferido no estudo contribuirá com a construção de uma política de regulação e gestão coerente com a dinâmica do local. The public use of the Area of Relevant Ecological Interest Mata da Bica/Portalegre (RN, Brazil): potentialities and limitations ABSTRACT Conservation Units established in Brazil have made efforts to protect the country's ecological and cultural diversity, however, the use of these spaces disassociated with the management, conservation and sensitization policies of the local population and visitors has reproduced a scenario of environmental degradation. The Area of Relevant Ecological Economic Interest (ARIE) Mata da Bica, created in the municipality of Portalegre, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, through municipal decree 002/2016, stands out for its natural attributes, represented by the perennial springs, the Pinga Water fall and the associated sub-deciduous forest. Despite the environmental potential, the unit does not have its management plan, and public use occurs in a disorderly manner. In view of this problem, the objective of this work was to analyse the public use of ARIE Mata da Bica and propose alternatives of use consistent with conservation and social welfare. For this, the data collection was the techniques of georeferencing, photographic record, checklist, and application of 119 questionnaires. The main results obtained showed that the majority of ARIE visitors do not live in Portalegre (77%); and that these, although they are visiting a Conservation Unit, are unaware of the term (65%) and 79% do not know the meaning of ARIE. As for public use, the activities of environmental education, scientific tourism and birdwatching were chosen as possibilities for Mata da Bica, which is currently used mainly for bathing and landscape contemplation purposes. By highlighting the place as a regional tourist pole, of relevant ecological aspects, it is believed that the diagnosis given in the study will contribute to the construction of a policy of regulation and management consistent with the dynamics of the site.
