Located in southwestern Maranhão, the Parque Nacional da Chapada das Mesas (PNCM), with an extent of about 160,046 ha, is completely inserted in the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. The topography is characterized by a plateau formation consisting of steep hills and medium-altitude mountains with flat tops, which give the PNCM its name. We present an annotated checklist of the mosses that occur in the PNCM. Our checklist includes 26 species of pleurocarpous mosses distributed in 10 families and 22 genera and two species of cladocarpous mosses of the family Orthotrichaceae. The most species-rich families of pleurocarpous mosses were Sematophyllaceae (7 spp.), Pylaisiadelphaceae (6 spp.), and Stereophyllaceae (4 spp.). Eleven species are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and three species are recorded for the first time in the northeast region of Brazil. Taxithelium pluripunctatum (Renauld & Cardot) W.R. Buck and Trichosteleum glaziovii (Hampe) W.R. Buck, are recorded for the first time from Maranhão and the Cerrado phytogeographic domain. Our results expand the knowledge of the Brazilian bryoflora and add distribution data for a number of species in Maranhão and the northeast region.

We report upon eleven species of thecate hydroids collected during a recent scientific expedition to the North Patagonian Zone between southern Chiloé and Puyuguapi fjord/ Magdalena Island. One species belongs to the family Haleciidae Hincks, 1868, four to the family Sertulariidae Lamouroux, 1812, and six to the family Campanulariidae Hincks, 1868. Of them, Halecium cymiforme Allman, 1888 and Symplectoscyphus leloupi El Beshbeeshy, 1991 are redescribed based on new, fertile material. Sertularella allmani Hartlaub, 1901 is assigned to the synonymy of S. antarctica Hartlaub, 1901. Campanularia subantarctica Millard, 1971 is considered as a junior synonym of C. lennoxensis Jäderholm, 1903, and data on both the male and female gonothecae are provided. A variant of Clytia gigantea (Hincks, 1866) with smaller hydrothecae than usual is described. Sertularella sanmatiasensis El Beshbeeshy, 1991 is recorded from Chile for the first time. Although not belonging to the present collection, several notes on Kirchenpaueria curvata (Jäderholm, 1904) are provided.

The family Planorbidae comprises freshwater gastropods with planispiral, spiral and limpet-shaped shells. Subfamily Planorbinae sensu stricto, has a richness of almost 300 species, with some of the main genera being Biomphalaria Preston, 1910 and Drepanotrema Fischer & Crosse, 1880. Some Biomphalaria species are of concern to human health as they are intermediate hosts of blood flukes in Latin America. In Argentina, the family Planorbidae is represented by 15 species in four genera. In Northern Argentina (NOA region), records of the family are scarce, and most of them are a result of occasional collecting. We provide an updated checklist of Planorbinae in NOA resulting from fieldwork, material in malacological collections, and data in the literature. Nine species occur in the area: four species of Biomphalaria and five of Drepanotrema. Among Biomphalaria species, we recorded Biomphalaria straminea (Dunker, 1848), which is considered a natural host of the blood fluke Schistostoma mansoni Sambon, 1907, for first time in Salta province; the known geographic distribution of B. straminea is extended in the country.

Species of the family Anthomyzidae (Diptera: Acalyptrata) occurring in Taiwan are reviewed. Eleven species have been recognized, 8 of them new to science. However, because of limited and poorly preserved material, only three species of the genus Anthomyza Fallén, 1810, viz. A. robusta sp. nov. (Chiayi and Nantou Counties, both sexes), A. caesarea sp. nov. (Taichung City area, both sexes) and A. elongata sp. nov. (Chiayi County, female only), are described. The remaining 5 undescribed species, viz. Amygdalops sp. nov. near cuspidatus (Taichung City area), Amygdalops sp. nov. near curtistylus (Nantou and Kinmen Counties), Anthomyza sp. nov. near elongata (Yilan County), Anthomyza sp. nov. (1) near flavosterna (Chiayi County) and Anthomyza sp. nov. (2) near flavosterna (Nantou County), are diagnosed but remain unnamed. A new species group of Anthomyza, viz. the A. flavosterna group, is established and diagnosed, to include the East Palearctic A. flavosterna Sueyoshi & Roháček, 2003, A. caesarea sp. nov., A. elongata sp. nov. and 3 additional unnamed species from Taiwan, while the remaining A. robusta sp nov. belongs to the A. bellatrix group. All six Taiwanese Anthomyza species seem to be associated with montane habitats and could be endemic. It is estimated that up to 20 species of Anthomyzidae could occur in Taiwan. The longitudinal dark pattern of the wing, found in A. caesarea sp. nov., is recorded for the first time in the genus Anthomyza which is the fourth lineage of Anthomyzidae in which this type of pattern has independently evolved. Preliminary keys to Taiwanese species of the genera Amygdalops Lamb, 1914 and Anthomyza are presented.

A floristic study including the taxonomic identity and distribution of Agavaceae was done for Querétaro, México. In Mexico, the family Agavaceae is very important for its etnobotan ical, evolutionary, floristics and taxonomic relevance. Even that Querétaro has a high environmental diversity, the knowledge of the family was limited with previous reports of 15 species. By intensive collections, six genera and 31 species were found. Out of them, two genera (Beschorneria and Prochnyanthes) and 16 species are new reports for Querétaro. Besides, two species of Agave are new for science, and the natural distribution of Agave alboma1ginata is known for the first time. Comparing the number of species of Agavaceae per unit of area from each State in México, we conclude that Querétaro is the third more diverse state.

Information about spring ascomycetous fungi on the territory of the nature tract "Kholodnyi Yar" is presented. As the result of the study 33 species of the ascomycetous fungi were identified, 19 of which are actually spring species and 14 – found in the spring. 15 species are registered for the nature tract "Kholodnyi Yar" for the first time. The largest number of species is represented by the family Morchellaceae (5 species), as well as by the families Pezizazeae (4 species) and Sclerotiniaceae (4 species). The ecological-trophic structure is dominated by species with a saprotrophic feeding strategy, which belong to xylotrophs, humus saprotrophs and herbophilic fungi. The group of xylotrophs was the predominant group of saprotrophic fungi in terms of the number of species (10 species). Humus saprotrophs numbered 9 species of the order Pezizales. In addition, representatives of the group of herbophilic (6 species), which use last year's remnants of herbaceous plants as a substrate, were quite common. Dumontinia tuberosa was the most common species among biotrophic species which parasitizes on the rhizomes of plants of the genus Anemone and forms fruiting bodies at the same time as the flowering period of the host plant. Symbiotrophs were represented by 3 species that are also capable of the saprotrophic feeding strategy inherent to humus saprophytes. A new location for Gyromitra slonevskii, Morchella crassipes and M. steppicola – species which were listed in the third edition of the Red Book of Ukraine – has been registered. Species included in the local red lists were also identified, namely Gyromitra gigas and Verpa bohemica (Kyiv region), Helvella acetabulum (Kherson region). The finding of Phylloscypha phyllogena is the second in Ukraine and the first on the territory of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.
