The types of 18 species of Salticidae described by Mello-Leitão from Brasil were re-examined and redescribed if necessary. The following nomenclatorial changes are made: New Synonyms: Akela quinquevittata Mello-Leitão 1947 = Ilargus coccineus Simon 1901; Asaphobelis pluripunctatus Mello-Leitão 1947 = Asaphobelis physonychus Simon 1902; Asaracus elegantulus Mello-Leitão 1947 = Chira thysbe Simon 1902; Breda nigrotaeniata Mello-Leitão 1947 = Breda flavostriata Simon 1901; Phiale duplocellata Mello-Leitão 1947 = Phiale tristis Mello-Leitão 1945. New Combinations: Akela longibarba Mello-Leitão 1943 = Phiale longibarba (Mello-Leitão 1943); Marpissa broadwayi Peckham & Peckham 1892 (= Naubolus aureocomosus Mello-Leitão 1943) = Platycryptus broadwayi (Peckham & Peckham 1892); Saitis labyrintheus Mello-Leitão 1947 = Mopiopia labyrinthea (Mello-Leitão 1947) [lectotype and paralectotype designated]; Saitis tristis Mello-Leitão 1947 = Mopiopia tristis (Mello-Leitão 1947); Semora albibarbis Mello-Leitão 1947 = Tariona albibarbis (Mello-Leitão 1947); Asaphobelis fasciiventris Simon 1902 = Coryphasia fasciiventris (Simon 1902).

AbstractWith 30 species, Tasmania is a major area of species diversity in the genus Menegazzia. Seven of these are new to science: M. abscondita Kantvilas, known from Tasmania and New Zealand, and M. athrotaxidis Kantvilas, M. hypogymnioides Kantvilas, M. petraea Kantvilas, M. ramulicola Kantvilas, M. subtestacea Kantvilas and M. tarkinea Kantvilas, all endemic to Tasmania. An identification key, descriptions based exclusively on Tasmanian collections, and detailed discussion of distribution, ecology, chemical composition and inter-species relationships are provided. All literature records of Menegazzia species pertaining to Tasmania are accounted for. New synonyms include: Menegazzia prototypica P. James and Parmelia pertusa var. coskinodes F. Wilson [synonyms of M. myriotrema (Müll. Arg.) R. Sant.], M. fertilis P. James [a synonym of M. platytrema (Müll. Arg.) R. Sant.] and Parmelia pertusa var. montana F. Wilson (a synonym of M. subtestacea). Incorrectly recorded species that should be deleted from the Tasmanian census include M. castanea P. James & D. J. Galloway (present on Macquarie Island) and M. testacea P. James & D. J. Galloway (endemic to New Zealand). The South American species, M. sanguinascens (Räs.) R. Sant., is recorded in Australasia (Tasmania) for the first time, whereas the widespread south-eastern Australian M. norstictica P. James is recorded for Western Australia. Salient features of the genus are discussed, including morphology, anatomy and chemistry. The biogeography of the genus is explored briefly. Twelve species (40%) are endemic to Tasmania, a level of endemism unmatched by any other species-rich genus on the island. Twelve species are shared with mainland Australia, eleven are shared with New Zealand, and only four species are shared with southern South America, all of which are sorediate, suggesting they are products of long-distance dispersal.

We propose 31 synonyms for nine South American species of Miconia (Melastomataceae), mostly from the Atlantic Forest in Brazil (with one species in “campos rupestres” and another from the Atlantic Forest in Paraguay); all belong to the ‘Miconia discolor clade’. Of these synonyms, 19 are species and 12 are varieties or subspecies, all of them described by the end of the XIX or early XX centuries, and most of them known in herbaria mostly from isotypes or syntypes (except for Miconia cabucu, M. chartacea and M. saldanhae). Miconia flammea var. major is synonymized under M. brunnea; Miconia amambayensis and M. oblongifolia under M. buddlejoides; Miconia augusti, M. divaricata, M. fasciculata subsp. catharinensis, M. fasciculata var. robusta, M. fluminensis, M. gilva, M. rabenii, M. saldanhae, M. saldanhae var. grandifolia and M. saldanhae var. subsessilifolia under M. fasciculata; Miconia chartacea, M. chartacea var. angustifolia, M. chartacea var. brevifolia, M. chartacea var. longifolia and M. chartacea var. miqueliana sob M. flammea; Miconia altissima, M. cabucu, M. formosa var. angustifolia, M. gigantea, M. mourae, and M. ovalifolia under M. formosa; Miconia ovata under M. organensis; Miconia maximowicziana and M. maximowicziana var. major under M. sclerophylla; Miconia eichleri, M. eichleri var. australis, and M. pseudoeichleri under M. valtheri; and Miconia argyraea under M. willdenowii. We also designate lectotypes for all names but M. fasciculata subsp. catharinensis, M. maximowicziana and M. ovata, which already have holotypes designated by the respective authors. We corrected the spelling of M. buddlejoides (previously known as M. budlejoides), M. saldanhae (formerly M. saldanhaei) and M. mourae (formerly M. mouraei). In the present century, 14 species of Miconia s.s. have been described for the Atlantic Forest, and another 43 species, subspecies and varieties have been synonymized (including the ones performed here). This means that a significant inflation of names has been corrected, since the genus has been deflated by 29 taxa. The synonyms proposed here will help students of the family and other researchers employ the correct names in biological studies, which in turn will help to fine tune biodiversity studies and conservation efforts.

Lepidoptera Noctuidae

The taxonomy of five South American species of Dargida Walker currently allocated in Leucania Ochsenheimer (four species) and in Lasionycta Aurivillius (one species) is revised. Leucania roseilinea (Köhler, 1947), Leucania phaeoneura Hampson, 1913, Leucania mocoides Dognin, 1897, Leucania alboradiata (Hampson, 1905) and Lasionycta radiata (Köhler, 1966), are here combined with the genus Dargida Walker for the first time (comb. nov.). Two new synonyms are proposed, Leucania roseilineoides Poole, 1989 is an objective junior synonym of Borolia roseilinea Köhler, 1947 (syn. nov.) (ICZN 51.4), and B. lilloana Köhler, 1947 is a subjective junior synonym of Leucania phaeoneura Hampson, 1913 (syn. nov.). Lectotype for Borolia lilloana is designated to ensure nomenclatural stability and recognizability of the taxon. All species are redescribed and discussed, and the habitus and male and female genitalia (when available) are given, as well as an updated geographical map.

New Synonymy

Based on my revision of types of southern South American species of Philonthus Stephens, 1829 and Gabrius Stephens, 1829 some nomenclatural changes are proposed. Five species of Philonthus are transferred to Gabrius resulting in the following new combinations: G. argentinus (Bernhauer, 1912), G. hornaditanus (Rambousek, 1925), G. jujuyensis (Bernhauer, 1921), G. nidicola (Bernhauer, 1921) and G. tucumanensis (Bernhauer, 1927). Philonthus hosmanni Bernhauer, 1912 is transferred to Heterothops Stephens, 1829 (Quediina). Five new synonymies within the genus Philonthus are proposed: P. tenebrosus Boheman, 1858 with P. quadraticeps Boheman, 1858 (valid name); P. catamarcanus Bernhauer, 1916 and P. weiseri Bernhauer, 1921 with P. bonariensis Bernhauer, 1909; P. emelinae Coiffait & Sáiz, 1968 with P. discoideus (Gravenhorst, 1802); Philonthus catamarcanus var. densior Bernhauer, 1916 with P. cribriventris Bernhauer, 1912. One old synonym is confirmed: P. perplexus Fairmaire & Germain, 1861 with P. longicornis Stephens, 1832. One new synonymy within the genus Gabrius is proposed: G. chiliensis Coiffait & Sáiz, 1968 with G. nigritulus (Gravenhorst, 1802). Lectotypes are designated for P. argentinus Bernhauer, 1912, P. bonariensis Bernhauer, 1909, P. catamarcanus Bernhauer, 1916, P. cribriventris Bernhauer, 1912, P. hornaditanus Rambousek, 1925, P. jujuyensis Bernhauer, 1921, P. nidicola Bernhauer, 1921, P. perplexus Fairmaire & Germain, 1861, P. quadraticeps Boheman, 1858, P. tenebrosus Boheman, 1858, P. tucumanensis Bernhauer, 1927 and P. weiseri Bernhauer, 1921.

Morphological Differences

During research for a taxonomical review of Campylocentrum, two South American species, C. kuntzei, described from Bolivia, and C. mattogrossense from Brazil, previously considered synonyms of Campylocentrum micranthum or C. robustum, were recognized as distinct species. This study reinforces the significant morphological differences among the taxa and proposes their re-establishment. Descriptions and illustrations, in addition to typifications, new synonyms, an identification key and their conservation statuses are provided.
