Lippia horridula is an endemic species from the Brazilian Cerrado with exclusively post-fire flowering records. It is often confused in herbaria collections with Lantana glaziovii and Lippia grandiflora, due to the subshrubby habit, the flowering branches raising from a well-developed xylopodium, and the pink colored corollas. Lippia horridula presents different morphotypes during its vegetative and flowering stages related to the fire regime in the Cerrado. The absence of observation and description of such variations has led to taxonomical confusion regarding its identity. Thus, in order to clarify this, we here present the morphological variation of this species during the vegetative and flowering stages, including modifications in the habit and remarkable heterophylly related to fire regime. An epitype is here designated to aid in the proper delimitation of this species. Moreover, a new record in the state of Maranhão (the northernmost known record for this species) is here presented, plus information about its conservation status, a geographical distribution map, in addition to a comparison with morphologically most similar species.

Abstract A taxonomic treatment of the genera Turnera and Piriqueta in the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, is presented. Fourteen species of Turnera and six species of Piriqueta were found in the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga, of which nine are endemic to Brazil. Turnera pernambucensis is threatened and restricted to the Atlantic Forest of Pernambuco, while T. joelii is a new record for the state. The species predominate in steppe savanna and semideciduous seasonal forest, but several of them grow naturally in anthropized areas. Catimbau National Park is the locality with the highest species richness. Tristyly is recorded for the first time in Piriqueta guianensis. Identification keys, descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and comments about habitat, flowering, fruiting, and morphological relationships are provided.

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.

Puccinellia is one of the most taxonomically difficult grass genera in the Poeae tribe. The genus is represented by ten species in Iran confined mainly to saline habitats. Based on new collections from northeast Iran, we verify P. poecilantha as occurring in Iran. The specimen identified as P. poecilantha in the Flora Iranica was misidentified, and is corrected to P. gigantea.  Puccinellia poecilantha differs from P. bulbosa and P. gigantea, the two most morphologically similar species in Iran, by shape and sizes of their lemmas and glumes, and indumentum. Anatomical features of P. poecilantha are discussed and a distribution map for the new record is provided.

Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult. (Caprifoliaceae), collected from Küre Mountains National Park (Kastamonu Section), is reported for the first time for the flora of Turkey. A brief description of the plant along with photographs and distribution map is given. Additionally, its taxonomic relationship with other closely allied taxa are examined and discussed. An identification key to the species of genus Knautia in Turkey is provided.

This study reports the occurrence of the pea-crab Calyptraeotheres garthi (Fenucci, 1975) for the State of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil. The crab was found associated to the calyptraeid limpet Crepidula plana (Say, 1822) in a Voluta ebraea (Linnaeus, 1758) shell occupied by the hermit crab Petrochirus diogenes (Linnaeus, 1758). This record represents the northernmost occurrence for the species in the Atlantic Ocean and the second for Brazilian waters. This new record increases the distribution area of C. garthi in about 3520 km. Taxonomic and biogeographic remarks, ecological notes and an updated distribution map are provided for this species.

Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi, 2015, described from the state of São Paulo, is recorded for the first time in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, representing the first record of the genus and species from the state. The specimen was collected with a Malaise Dossel trap and deposited at the Entomological Collection of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Brazil). A diagnosis and illustration of this species are presented  demonstrating morphological variation of the type material. A distribution map is also provided. Gonatopus mariae is a rare species and its distribution is probably restricted to the southeastern region of Brazil.

Microcaecilia taylori is known to occur from the Guianan region to south of the Amazon in the state of Pará, Brazil. Here we provide a new locality record for the species, east of the Tocantins River, 190 km from the nearest record. The specimen was active under the leaf litter in daylight and is the largest specimen of M. taylori recorded to date.

We report a female Physalaemus soaresi Izecksohn, 1965 collected at the Atlantic rainforest of Serra do Mendanha, municipality of Rio de Janeiro, state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. Known only from two localities (and probably extinct in one), P. soaresi is considered a threatened species in Brazil and presumably threatened in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Despite the new record, P. soaresi still fits into the status of endangered and requires the full protection of all areas where it occurs.
