First record of Boana maculateralis (Caminer &amp; Ron, 2014) and Boana tetete (Caminer &amp; Ron, 2014) (Anura, Hylidae) in Colombia

This is the first report demonstrating that Boana tetete and B. maculateralis occur in the Colombian Amazon Basin. These specimens were identified previously as Boana fasciata; however, morphology and current distribution records show that the specimens were misidentified. These new records extend the known distribution of the B. tetete 630 km north from nearest locality in the Ecuadorian Amazon and 420 km for B. maculateralis. An updated map of current distribution and ecoregional areas in Amazonian is provided.

Immature stages of many Brazilian Smicridea species remains unknown, and efforts to describe all life stages are required. In this paper, the larva and pupa of Smicridea (Rhyacophylax) gladiator Flint 1978, associated with adults through the metamorphotype method, are described and illustrated. In addition, the known distribution of this species is extended in the Brazilian Amazon Basin with new records from Amazonas state and the first record in Pará state. Information about its bionomics is also provided.

Summary Three acanthocephalan parasites, namely Neoechinorhynchus (Neoechinorhynchus) quinghaiensis, Rhadinorhynchus ganapatti, and Bolbosoma sp. are reported for the first time from Philippine fishes. N. (N.) quinghaiensis (Neoechinorhynchidae) may have been introduced into the country through the importation of carp species from China, where this parasite was first described and is presumed to be naturally occurring. The adult worms of R. ganapatti and the isolated cystacanth of Bolbosoma sp. represent the first record of parasites from both the family Rhadinorhynchidae and Polymorphidae in Philippine waters, respectively. These three new records encompass a third of all listed acanthocephalan parasites that have been reported in Philippine fish species to date, highlighting the need for more biodiversity-focused parasitology research, in light of potentially numerous more undocumented parasite species.

First Results

A sample of ca. 130 specimens from the Collection of Strepsiptera of the National Institute for Amazon Research (INPA) contained species in four families: Corioxenidae, Bohartillidae, Myrmecolacidae, and Halictophagidae. First results of the study of that sample are presented with descriptions of two new species of Halictophagidae: Halictophagus urucui sp. n. and Coriophagus jennyae sp. n. The latter species is the first record of Coriophagus in the Western Hemisphere; the genus distribution had been limited so far to Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the Solomon Islands. These new records contribute to an expanded view of the biodiversity of the Strepsiptera fauna in the Brazilian Amazon Basin.

Abstract Cteniloricaria is a genus of Neotropical armored catfishes belonging to the Loricariinae, currently including two valid species: C. platystoma and C. napova. Cteniloricaria platystoma is presently recorded across the main coastal drainages of the Guiana Shield, from the Sinnamary River, French Guiana, to the Essequibo River basin, Guyana, and is considered to be restricted to the region. Cteniloricaria napova is only known from its type locality at the headwaters of the Paru de Oeste River, Amazon basin, Sipaliwini Savannah, Trio Amerindian territory in Suriname, close to the Brazilian border. Based on a specimen of C. napova, captured in the Cuminapanema River, a tributary to the Curuá River, within Brazilian territory, the geographic distribution of the species and the genus is extended, representing the first record of Cteniloricaria in Brazil. The genus shows a disjoint distribution, and divergence between populations in the north-flowing coastal rivers of the Guianas and the south-flowing Amazon tributaries, and more recent headwater capture between south-flowing Amazon tributaries, may have played a key role in shaping its current distribution. Illustrations, diagnostic characters, morphometrics, description of the habitat where the new specimen was captured, extinction risk assessment, and a discussion of the distribution of the genus are provided.

New Findings

We present new records of the Spot-legged Turtle (Rhinoclemmys punctularia) for the states of Pará and Tocantins, Brazil. These records increase the known geographical distribution of R. punctularia ca. 500 km southward, reaching the southeastern extreme of the Amazon biome. The Tocantins records are from Amazon rainforests habitats as in most of the known range of the species. These new findings highlight the importance of future investigations in order to better understand the distribution of R. punctularia in the South Amazon Basin and ecotones areas.
