First record of the caddisfly Notidobiella amazoniana Holzenthal &amp; Blahnik, 2010 (Trichoptera, Sericostomatidae) from Roraima state, northern Brazil

Notidobiella amazoniana Holzenthal & Blahnik, 2010 was known only from the type locality in Amazonas state, Brazil. Herein, we provide the first record of N. amazoniana for Roraima state, thus extending the geographic range of this species to the northernmost state of Brazil. Its occurrence in Roraima also represents the first record of the family Sericostomatidae for the state and the most northern record of the genus in South America. Information on the holotype of N. amazoniana and a distribution map for all species of Notidobiella are provided.

We present the first record of Lygophis meridionalis for the state of Espírito Santo, in southeastern Brazil, and a distribution map based on indexed literature. This species of the family Dipsadidae is widely distributed in South America, although records from Brazil are only available for the states of São Paulo, Amazonas, Pará, Goiás, Tocantins, and Bahia. Our report is only the second record of L. meridionalis from the Atlantic Forest and represents a range extension of 998 km from the nearest record in this biome.

Lithodytes lineatus (Schneider, 1799) is a medium-sized frog distributed throughout South America and found in Brazil in the Amazonia and Cerrado domains. Here we document two new records of the species in forested areas in the state of Amapá, Northern Brazil, and provide an updated distribution map for it. The record of L. lineatus in the state of Amapá extends its distribution approximately 78 km from the nearest locality, Floresta Estadual do Paru, in the municipality of Monte Alegre, state of Pará, Brazil, and help to fill information gaps.

Uma espécie de picnogonídeo classificada na família Pallenopsidae Fry, 1978 e no gênero Pallenopsis Wilson, 1881 é registrada neste estudo para a costa do estado da Paraíba (nordeste do Brasil), com base na identificação de três espécimes fêmeas coletadas na zona infralitoral em profundidades de 12 a 34 metros. Pallenopsis fluminensis (Krøyer, 1844) é a quarta espécie de Pycnogonida registrada para a região. Até então, apenas Anoplodactylus batangensis (Helfer, 1938), A. eroticus Stock, 1968 e A. mirim Lucena, Araújo & Christoffersen, 2015 haviam sido registradas para a costa da Paraíba. Pallenopsis fluminensis é diagnosticada pelo tronco com setas pequenas na borda distal de cada segmento; probóscide com setas terminais; processos laterais com pequenas setas dorsais; palpos sem setas e reduzidos a um pequeno tubérculo; quela com muitas setas, palma 1.5 vezes mais longa que larga; ovígeros com oito artículos nas fêmeas, sendo os artículos 5 e 6 subiguais, e o 8 pouco menor que o 7; e a tíbia 1 sem uma cobertura densa de setas. Até o momento, P. fluminensis é a única congênere proveniente da costa Atlântica da América do Sul sem uma densa cobertura de setas sobre a tíbia 1.Palavras chave: Arthropoda, Chelicerata, Pantopoda, Atlântico oeste, região tropical, zona costeira.Abstract: A pycnogonid species classified in the family Pallenopsidae Fry, 1978 and the genus Pallenopsis Wilson, 1881 is recorded in this study for the coast of the state of Paraíba in northeastern Brazil based on the identification of three female specimens collected from the infralittoral zone at depths of 12 to 34 meters. Pallenopsis fluminensis (Krøyer, 1844) is the fourth species of Pycnogonida recorded for the region. To date, only Anoplodactylus batangensis (Helfer, 1938), A. eroticus Stock, 1968 and A. mirim Lucena, Araújo & Christoffersen, 2015 have been recorded for the coast of the state of Paraíba. Pallenopsis fluminensis is diagnosed by a trunk with small setae on the distal border of each segment; proboscis with terminal setae; lateral processes with small setae; palps without setae and reduced to a small knob; chela with many setae, palm 1.5 times longer than wide; ovigers with eight articles on females, articles 5 and 6 subequal and article 8 not much smaller than 7; and tibia 1 without dense cover of the setae. To date, P. fluminensis is the only congener from the Atlantic coast of South America without a dense cover of setae on tibia 1.Key words: Arthropoda, Chelicerata, Pantopoda, Western Atlantic, tropical region, coastal zone.
