This paper reports species of Serolis (Isopoda, Flabellifera) occurring on the continental shelf of southern Brazil. Five species are recorded. S. polaris Richardson, 1911 and S. laevis Richardson, 1911, new records from Brazil, are redescribed. S. uaperta sp. n., S. veaperta sp. n. and S. completa sp. n., are new to science. A full description of the female S. laevis is given for the first time. Furthermore, the nonidentity of this species with S. oonvexa Cunningham, 1871, is positively established. Family, generic and specific diagnosis are provided. Ecological and dis tributional notes, as well as a classification key based on adult specimens, are given for each species studied.

Three species of the marine isopod genus Serolis Leach, 1818, are recorded from the continental shelf of southern Brazil, i.e., S. elliptica Sheppard, 1933, S . completa Moreira, 1971, and S. similis sp. n. S. elliptica is for the first time reported from off Brazil. The new species S. similis sp. n. is described and figured. New features distinguishing S. completa from S. elliptica are pointed out. The extension range of S. completa is considerably enlarged, being the Lat. 29ºS its new southernmost limit of occurrence, while the range of S. elliptica is extended further northernwards to Lat. 23ºS.

A New Species

The following species of the isopod genus Serolis are recorded from the continental shelf of southern Brazil: S. exigua Nordenstam, 1933, S. polaris Richardson, 1911, S. foresti Bastida & Torti, 1970 and S. inermis sp. n. S. exigua is for the first time recorded from off Brazil. Both S. polaris and S. foresti are recorded from new localities. S. inermis sp. n., a new species, is detailed described. Remarks are made on the importance and variations of some morphological features. The limit of distribution of both S. exigua and S. foresti is slightly extended northernwards.

Ant Diversity

Despite the large number of studies investigating ant diversity in Brazilian biomes, no ant-related studies have been carried out in Campos Gerais, a grassland physiognomy in Paraná state. The present study is the first inventory of the ant fauna in one of the few conservation units protecting the Campos Gerais landscape, the Guartelá State Park (PEG). Sixty samples were collected from different habitats within PEG using pitfall traps. Qualitative samples of leaf litter were collected from forest fragments and submitted to Winkler extractors. In addition, manual qualitative sampling was carried out in the various physiognomies within the PEG. A total of 163 species was collected and sorted into 43 genera and nine subfamilies. Five genera and 28 species were recorded for the first time in the state of Paraná. Out of these, 17 species were also recorded for the first time in the Southern Region of Brazil and two were recorded for the first time to the country. The significant species richness in the PEG and the high number of new records is a strong sign of this ecosystem’s potential to reveal taxonomic novelties. These results suggest that PEG, and the Campos Gerais as a whole, should be the target of greater conservation efforts to preserve native remnants.

Two new species of Brazilian Psychoda Latreille are described, and Psychoda alternata Say and P. zetoscota Quate are recorded for the first time from Brazil. Psychoda divaricata Duckhouse, already described from southern Brazil, was recorded in the northeastern part of that country, as well as in the eastern Amazon region. The supraspecific classification proposed for the species of Psychoda according to Quate (= Psychodini of Jeñek) are discussed. A new classification is suggested that considers only one genus, Psychoda, divided into 12 subgenera: subgenus Psychoda Latreille, subgenus Copropsychoda Vaillant, subgenus Falsologima Jeñek & Harten, subgenus Psychodula Jeñek, subgenus Psychomora Jeñek, subgenus Psychana Jeñek & Harten, subgenus Logima Eaton, subgenus Tinearia Schellenberg, subgenus Chodopsycha Jeñek, subgenus Ypsydocha Jeñek, subgenus Psychodocha Jeñek, and subgenus Psycha Jeñek. A list of the Psychoda species from Latin America and the Caribbean region is presented.

Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is the southernmost state in Brazil and includes areas within the Pampa and Atlantic Forest biomes. The semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) from RS are poorly known, with only 14 previously recorded species. We carried out two expeditions in this state, in 2002 and 2019, across 19 municipalities. Here, we provide new records for 19 species, of which 13 are recorded for the first time from the state, five have their distributions expanded, and one is recorded again from a same locality previously reported in the literature. Furthermore, 13 species were collected for the first time in the Pampa biome and one in the Atlantic Forest.

U. radiata Stirton, U. florida var. scabrosa Zahlbr.), U. cristatula Motyka, U. erinacea Vain., U. fleigiae A. Gerlach & P. Clerc (characterized by large spores and a thin, lax medulla), U. grandispora A. Gerlach & P. Clerc (characterized by large spores, a black base and protocetraric or salazinic acids in the medulla), U. kalbiana P. Clerc & A. Gerlach (characterized by a vitreous cortex and annular cracks in the basal part), U. lunaria Motyka, U. meridionalis Zahlbr. (syn. nov.: U. michauxii I. I. Tav.), Usnea cf. moreliana Motyka, U. parvula Motyka, U. steineri Zahlbr, U. subelegans (Vain.) B. de Lesd. (lectotype designated here), U. subparvula A. Gerlach & P. Clerc (characterized by spinulose fibrils and protocetraric acid in the medulla) and one as yet unidentified species (named Usnea sp. 1). Usnea cirrosa, U. cristatula and U. erinacea are new records for Brazil. A full description with morphological, anatomical (CMA and ascospores) and chemical features (TLC), as well as geographical distribution, is provided for each species along with an identification key to all species reported.

Abstract Charybdis lucifera (Fabricius, 1798), Demania reynaudii (H. Milne Edwards, 1834), Galene bispinosa (Herbst, 1783), and Neodorippe callida (Fabricius, 1798) are documented for the first time from the territorial waters of Bangladesh. Before this account, the families Dorippidae MacLeay, 1838 and Galenidae Alcock, 1898 were also unknown to the country. All specimens but Neodorippe callida were sampled from St. Martin’s Island, a sedimentary island on the continental shelf. We encountered N. callida from Dublar Char Island, a mangrove block extending into the Bay of Bengal. We collected D. reynaudii from a beach food stall, being displayed apparently unaware of the species’ toxicity, which seems not to be known in the region; the other species were sourced from artisanal seining activities. Here, taxonomic traits of these species are discussed respective to close congeners, and with necessary remarks on their locality.

Nitraria komarovii Iljin & Lava ex Bobrov is newly reported for the flora of Kazakhstan. The two new records extend the range of this species eastward from its previously known range in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. A full description of N. komarovii is given for the first time, along with illustrations, notes on its taxonomy, and a distribution map. Nitraria komarovii is most similar to N. schoberi L., but differs in its habit, narrower and longer, linear-spatulate, greenish-yellow leaves, which gradually narrow to the base, more subtle inflorescences, size of the stone, petal, stamen, and pistil, and color of the fruit.
