Abstract A taxonomic synopsis of Capparaceae distributed in Colombia was carried out reviewing 1,800 botanical specimens from 13 herbaria in Colombia, five international institutions and close to 100 field collected specimens. We found 32 species and ten genera according to the last taxonomic modification proposed for this family. From these species, we reevaluated the conventional features used on the species identification, from which detailed description for each species and taxonomic keys were developed. In addition, geographic distribution maps in Colombia, and information about vernacular names and Neotropical distribution was added.

First Time

This is a taxonomic account of the Gentianaceae of Bahia State, Brazil. We recognized 40 species, distributed among 12 genera: Calolisianthus (2 species), Chelonanthus (4), Coutoubea (2), Curtia (2), Deianira (4), Helia (H. oblongifolia), Macrocarpaea (5), Prepusa (P. montana), Schultesia (12), Symphyllophyton (S. caprifolioides), Tetrapollinia (T. caerulescens) and Voyria (5). Chelonanthus albus, C. viridiflorus and Deianira erubescens are reported for the first time in the State. Descriptions for the family, genus and species, identification keys, geographic distribution maps, illustrations, and general comments about the species are presented.

Sigmodontine rodents are well represented in northwestern Argentina, but information regarding their distribution in La Rioja is scarce. We add new information for seven species from seven localities in the Famatina range. These new records were obtained using both captures and owl pellet analysis. We cite the first record of Neotomys ebriosus in La Rioja. The collection locality is unusual for this species because of its low altitude and xeric conditions. Other notable results include the second record of Abrothrix andinus and of the genus Oligoryzomys at the province.

The study presents a review of the Dendrochirotida species from shallow waters of the northeastern coast of Brazil. A total of 1,268 specimens were analyzed and 24 species were recorded, which were classified into 16 genera of Cucumariidae, Psolidae, Phyllophoridae, and Sclerodactylidae. Detailed descriptions and figures of the taxonomic characters are provided to facilitate species identification. Notes on morphological variation, geographic distribution, and habitat are also provided. We suggest two new species for science, Thyone brasiliana sp. nov. and Havelockia nietae sp. nov., the new combination Parathyone braziliensis (Verrill, 1868) and the first record of Euthyonidiella trita (Sluiter, 1910) for the Brazilian coast. The bathymetric ranges are expanded for Coronatum baiensis, Euthyonidiella trita, Stolus cognatus, and Thyonidium seguroensis.

Triatomine Bugs

An annotated list of the triatomine bugs from Veracruz, Mexico, is presented. The list is mainly based on field collections, but also on literature review and museum collections. Ten species in five genera and two tribes are known in the state. Two species, Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille), the most common and widely distributed, and Triatoma gerstaeckeri (Stål), are the most important vectors of Chagas disease in the region. Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus (Champion), Belminus costarricensis Herrer, Lent & Wygodzinsky, and Eratyrus cuspidatus (Stål) are confined to sylvan habitats in the south of the state. Triatoma rubida (Uhler) probably represent a misidentification. The presence of Meccus pallidipennis Stål, Panstrogylus geniculatus (Latrielle), Triatoma barberi Usinger, and Triatoma infestans (Klug) are fortuitous. GARP distribution maps are provided for T. dimidiata and T. gerstaeckeri. A key to species and photographs of the adults of the ten species are also included.

Floristic Treatment

The genus Mucuna comprises approximately 105 tropical and sub-tropical species, with the highest diversity occurring in the Paleotropics. In the Neotropics, 13 new species have been described recently and a number of regional floras have been published. A recent floristic treatment for Colombia has summarized the Mucuna species found in the Neotropics, but since then many new species and new geographical records have been published. A complete taxonomic treatment of all neotropical species and an identification key to all neotropical taxa is currently lacking. The aim of this study is to present a complete taxonomic account of the species of Mucuna occurring in the Neotropics. Descriptions of 25 taxa (24 species and one variety) are included in the treatment, including type specimen details, synonymy, illustrations, distribution maps, and preliminary conservation assessments for each species, together with a species identification key.

The Sapotaceae are a pantropical family of flowering plants composed of approximately 1,250 species. In Brazil, the Sapotaceae are represented by 11 genera and 231 species, 86 of which have been registered in the region of northeastern Brazil. This paper provides a checklist of the Sapotaceae species that occur in a major portion of northeastern Brazil, and aims to document the number of native taxa, update their currently accepted names, and contribute to the Flora of Brazil (Lista de Espécies da Flora do Brasil). Additional information about regional geographic distribution, biomes of occurrence, IUCN status, and vernacular names are provided for each species. A total of nine genera and 46 species were documented and the majority (64%) is restricted to the Atlantic Rainforest. The current study provides an important contribution to our knowledge of the Sapotaceae in the Atlantic Rainforest biome.

The taxonomy of the Malagasy Crematogaster (Decacrema) is revised and a total of six distinct species and one species-complex are recognized. Malagasy Decacrema are widespread ants in Madagascar that nest almost exclusively arboreally, either in carton nests or inside dead twigs or branches, and often tend Coccoidea. Four species are newly described here: Crematogaster mahery sp. nov., C. malala sp. nov., C. sabatra sp. nov. and C. sisa sp. nov.. The species status of Crematogaster grevei Forel 1891 is confirmed by the study, and one described subspecies, C. hova nosibeensis Forel 1891 is raised to species level (C. nosibeensis stat. nov.) and a neotype designated. Crematogaster hova latinoda Forel 1891 is synonymised under C. hova Forel 1887, and the taxonomic status of C. hova, C. ensifera Forel 1910 and C. schencki Forel 1891 is further investigated, but could not be resolved with methods employed here. The C. hova-complex, a species-complex consisting of five morphological forms, is hence defined and the three described species above are associated with these morphotypes. Full descriptions including natural history information are presented for all species and the species-complex, as well as images, distribution maps and a species-identification key to the workers of Malagasy Decacrema. A diagnosis of the Malagasy Decacrema and identification keys to the subgenera of the ant genus Crematogaster in the Malagasy region are also provided.
