This note extends the distribution of the dwarf cichlid fish Apistogramma borellii, and is the first record of the species, and the genus for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, suggesting that the fish diversity of wetlands, although relatively high, is still poorly investigated in southern Brazil.

The African spider Cithaeron reimoseri Platnick, 1991 is registered for the first time in the New World, based in two females collected at Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Until now C. reimoseri was known only by the holotype from Eritrea. The species C. praedonius O. P.-Cambridge, 1872 was, until now, the only known species of the family with worldwide distribution and is considered prone to introduction in anthropic environments. Cithaeronidae are considered lower gnaphosoids being identifiable by the depressed posterior median eyes and the pseudosegmented tarsi.

Phyllobaeis is mainly a Neotropical genus and contains six species. It has a squamulose primary thallus (except for one species with crustose primary thallus), stipitate podetia, and simple or 1-septate hyaline, ovoid to fusiform ascospores. The species occur mainly on soil in altitudes of 700 to 4,400 m. In Brazil three species are known, recorded mainly from the southeast. The aim of this work is contributing to the knowledge of the distribution of Phyllobaeis in Brazil. We studied specimens from southern Brazil. The morphological, anatomical and chemical analyses follow standard lichenological protocols. We found two species in southern Brazil: Phyllobaeis erythrella, which is the first record to Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul states; and P. rubescens, which is the first record to Paraná and Santa Catarina states. Both occur in environments on the plateau, as well as in high-grasslands, between 700 to 1400 m altitude. A distribution map in Brazil, descriptions, figures and a key to the species of Phyllobaeis are given.

Rhinella achavali is a large toad associated with lotic environments in Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Herein, we provide the first record of the species in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, extending its range approximately 200 km north from the previous records.

Austrolebias Costa is a genus of annual fish inhabiting temporary wetlands in the Chaco-Pampasic region of southern Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina (Costa, 2006, Nielsen & Pillet, 2015, Alonso et al., 2016). Currently, about 45 species of Austrolebias are known (Costa, 2006, Volcan et al., 2014, Nielsen & Pillet, 2015), and of these, 24 occur in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil, distributed across the Rio Uruguay basin and the Patos-Mirim lagoon system and adjacent coastal areas (Volcan et al., 2015).

Abstract Herein, we provide new occurrence records of Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil. All new records here provide are located on Southern half of the state. Besides this, we provide the first record for species in Brazilian coastal zone. Those records improve considerably our knowledge regarding species distribution in Southern Brazil.

Mecistogaster is a New World genus of Pseudostigmatidae (Odonata) that is poorly studied due to its preference for flying in forest clearings and trails. In Brazil, only one endemic species, Mecistogaster amalia (Burmeister), is known. The distribution of M. amalia extends from Southest Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states) to Argentina. Herein, we report M. amalia for the first time in Rio Grande do Sul State, Southern Brazil. This record extends the species’ range ca. 630 km from the previous report at Paranaense Forest in Misiones province. Mecistogaster amalia (Burmeister) Odonata: Pseudostigmatidae: Primeiro Registro para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil Resumo. Mecistogaster é um gênero da Família Pseudostigmatidae, restrito ao Novo Mundo e pobremente estudado devido sua preferência por clareiras e trilhas dentro de matas. No Brasil, apenas uma espécie é conhecida, Mecistogaster amalia (Burmeister). A distribuição de M. amalia se estende do sudeste do Brasil (nos estados do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo) até a Argentina. Aqui, reportamos pela primeira vez M. amalia para o estado do Rio Grande do Sul State, Sul do Brasil. O presente estudo amplia o registro de ocorrência da espécie em 630 km, a partir do registro anterior na Floresta Paranaense, na Província de Missiones, Argentina.

The present study records for the first time the small cichlidae fish Laetacara dorsigera (Heckel, 1840) at Uruguay River basin and state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, previously known from Amazon, Paraná and Paraguay River basins. Although the ichthyofauna of Uruguay River basin is relatively well known, this record suggests that there are still unexplored environments, such as wetlands, where there may be species not yet reported, and found in other hydrographic systems.

The genus Anax comprises a group with cosmopolitan distribution and 27 species around the world. In Brazil, Anax is represented by three species: A. amazili, A. concolor and A. longipes. Anax amazili occurs, in South America, from French Guiana to Argentina, and in Brazil is distributed in the northeast and southeast of the country. We have reported A. amazili for the first time in southern Brazil, from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, extending its current distribution about 1000 km.
