Abstract Malvoideae is the largest subfamily of Malvaceae, including 110 genera and 1,730 species distributed predominantly in tropical regions, with a few representatives in temperate regions. In Brazil, the subfamily occurs throughout the country and all phytogeographic domains. The floristic survey of Malvoideae in the Environmental Protection Area Serra Branca included analysis of 43 specimens collected from August 2011 to February 2013. The analysis were supplemented with dried collections from the following herbaria: ALCB, HUEFS and MAC. Six genera and sixteen species were recorded. Sida L. was the most representative genus with five species [S. angustissima A.St.-Hil., S. castanocarpa Krapov., S. cordifolia L., S. galheirensis Ulbr., S. linifolia Cav. and S. spinosa L.], followed by Pavonia Cav. with three species [P. blanchetiana Miq., P. cancellata (L.) Cav. and P. glazioviana Gürke], Sidastrum Baker with three species [S. micranthum (A.St.-Hil.) Fryxell, S. multiflorum (Jacq.) Fryxell and S. paniculatum (L.) Fryxell] and Herissantia Medik. with two species [H. crispa (L.) Brizicky and H. tiubae (K.Schum .) Brizicky]. The remainging genera were represented by one species each: Pseudabutilon virgatum (Cav.) Fryxell and Malvastrum tomentosum (L.) S.R.Hill. The majority of the species recorded in the area have a Neotropical distribution, and six species are endemic to Brazil, among which the species Herissantia tiubae, Sida galheirensis, Pavonia blanchetiana and Pavonia glazioviana are endemic to the Northeast Region, the latter two species occurring exclusively in the Caatinga biome. The taxonomic treatment includes a key for the identification, descriptions, illustrations, photos, data of the geographical distribution, economic potential and reproductive phenology and comments about the species.

Abstract: Leguminosae includes six subfamilies, where the traditionally recognised subfamily Mimosoideae was accepted as a distinct clade included within the recircumscribed subfamily Caesalpinioideae, called informally as Mimosoid clade. The representatives of the tribes Acacieae and Ingeae can be differentiated principally in terms of the patterns of their stamens, being free in Acacieae and monadelphous in Ingeae. The floristic survey of Acacieae and Ingeae in the Environmental Protection Area Serra Branca included analysis of specimens collected from June 2011 to September 2012. The analyses were supplemented with dried collections from the following herbaria: ALCB, HRB and HUEFS. Ten species were cataloged, distributed among four genera of Ingeae: Calliandra Benth. (1 sp.), Chloroleucon (Benth.) Britton & Rose ex Record (1 sp.), Enterolobium Mart. (1 sp.), Pithecellobium Mart. (1 sp.); and one genus of Acacieae: Senegalia Raf. (6 spp.). The most representative species were Calliandra aeschynomenoides Benth. associated with sandy and stony soils and Chloroleucon foliolosum (Benth.) G.P.Lewis and Senegalia bahiensis (Benth.) Seigler & Ebinger growing on sandy-clay soils. The taxonomic treatment includes a key for the identification, descriptions, illustrations, photos, data of the geographical distribution phenological data and comments about the species.

A New Species

A new species of Hydromedusa belonging to the genus Octocanna Haeckel 1879, here revived, is described from the coastal waters off Santos. The new species belongs to the family Phialuciidae, it is named Octocanna haeckeli sp. n. and differs from the other two species of the genus in being smaller, in having a high dome shaped umbrella, four tentacles, eight bulbs and eight marginal vesicles at sexual maturity. The genus Octocanna is here revived for Phialuciidae with eight radial canals, eight gonads, four or more tentacles and never more than four lips. The genus Octophialucium Kramp 1955 is considered valid for Phialuciidae with eight radial canals, eight gonads and eight lips. In the same series of samples, some specimens of Octophialucium bigelowi Kramp 1955 were taken which are very similar to Octocanna haeckeli but have eight lips, eight tentacles, rudimentary bulbs and a larger number of marginal vesicles at sexual maturity, which is reached at approximately the same umbrella size. The two similar species were taken in the same water mass at approximately the same time of the same year.

AbstractThe occurrence of trichodorids in a selected range of biotopes (fields and gardens, grassland, vineyards, orchards, forests, river banks and bushland) and their geographical distribution were studied throughout Slovakia. From a total of 684 soil samples collected, trichodorids were recovered from 225 (= 33%). Although members of the family Trichodoridae were present in more than 50% of the samples from forests and river bank vegetation, the prevalence of these nematodes in other biotopes was less than 20%. Six Trichodorus species (T. primitivus, T. similis, T. sparsus, T. variopapillatus, T. viruliferus and an undescribed species) and two Paratrichodorus species (P. macrostylus and P. pachydermus) were identified. T. sparsus was the most frequently occurring species (58% of all trichodorid records); the prevalence of the other seven species each accounted for less than 10% of the records. Individual trichodorid species showed an association with characteristic types of vegetation; e.g., T. sparsus was the dominant species in forest biotopes, T. similis preferred grassland, and T. variopapillatus wet soil associated with river bank vegetation. With the exception of T. sparsus and P. macrostylus, which occurred in various types of soil (sandy to loamy-clay), the other trichodorid species were found exclusively in lighter soils (sandy to loamy-sandy). T. variopapillatus is reported from the Slovak Republic for the first time and the records of P. macrostylus occurring in various biotopes in Slovakia extends the information on geographical distribution and ecology of this rare species. Vorkommen und Verbreitung von Trichodorus und Paratrichodorus spp. (Nematoda: Trichodoridae) in der Slowakischen Republik - Das Vorkommen von Trichodoriden in verschiedenen Biotoptypen (Acker und Garten, Grasland, Weinberge, Obstanlagen, Walder und Flussufer) und ihre geographische Verbreitung in der Slowakei wurden untersucht. In 225 (= 33%) von 684 untersuchten Bodenproben waren Trichodoriden nachweisbar. Wahrend in mehr als 50% der Proben aus Waldern und von Flussufern Arten der Familie Trichodoridae vorkamen, lag der Anteil 'positiver' Proben bei anderen Biotopen unter 20%. Sechs Trichodorus Arten (T. primitivus, T. similis, T. sparsus, T. variopapillatus, T. viruliferus und eine unbeschriebene Art) und zwei Paratrichodorus Arten (P. macrostylus, P. pachydermus) wurden nachgewiesen. T. sparsus wurde am haufigsten gefunden (58% aller TrichodoridenNachweise); der Anteil der ubrigen sieben Arten lag jeweils unter 10%. Einzelne Arten zeigten eine Bevorzugung bestimmter Vegetationstypen. So war T. sparsus die dominante Art in Waldbiotopen, T. similis bevorzugte Grasland und T. variopapillatus nasse Boden unter Flussufervegetation. Mit Ausnahme von T. sparsus und P. macrostylus, die in verschiedenen Bodenarten (sandig bis lehmigtonig) auftraten, wurden die ubrigen Arten ausschliesslich in leichten, sandigen bis sandig-lehmigen Boden gefunden. T. variopapillatus wird erstmals fur die Slowakische Republik gemeldet. Die Feststellung von P. macrostylus in verschiedenen Biotopen in der Slowakei erweitert unsere Kenntnisse uber die geographische Verbreitung und Okologie dieser seltenen Art.
