Eleutherodactylus uno n. sp . is described from the oak-pine zone of the Sierra Madre del Sur, in the Mexican state of Guerrero . The new species cannot be associated with any currently recognized supraspecific division within the genus and demonstrates the unsatisfactory nature of attempts to cluster the approximately 400 known species into groups.

A New Species

A new species of Hechtia from the Mexican State of Tamaulipas is herein proposed as new: Hechtia hernandez-sandovalii, which is known only from the municipality of Villa de Miquihuana in the southwestern portion of the state. The new species is easily recognized by the following combination of characters: its white cotton-like indument (turning brownish with age) on the branches, rachis, and peduncle of both staminate and pistillate inflorescences. The new taxon is compared with H. glomerata, a species morphologically similar.

A New Species

Mexico has a rich woody bamboo flora with over 52 species, 66% of which are endemic. Mexico represents the northernmost extent for many Neotropical bamboo genera such as the widespread Rhipidocladum, a genus with characteristic fan-like branching and variable synflorescence morphologies. Only four species of Rhipidocladum are known from Mexico: R. bartlettii, R. martinezii, R. pittieri and R. racemiflorum. Remarkably, the ranges of all four species overlap in the Mexican state of Chiapas. During field work in Chiapas, a flowering population of Rhipidocladum was discovered that had two glumes and retrorsely scabrous abaxial leaf surfaces, and lacked foliage leaf fimbriae. This combination of characters is unlike that of any known species in the genus. We conducted a comprehensive morphological study of specimens from this population and confirmed the existence of a new species of Rhipidocladum. We describe and illustrate the new taxon, discuss its diagnostic characters and provide an updated key to the species of Rhipidocladum distributed in Mexico. This taxonomic novelty increases the richness of the genus to 20 species and adds a new endemic woody bamboo to the flora of Mexico. The new species inhabits montane cloud forest, an important yet threatened vegetation type in Mexico.

A New Species

Mexico has an extremely diverse clerid beetle fauna, comprising within its borders representatives of at least 43 of the approximately 62 genera recorded from North and Middle America. Dozens of new species in several genera (particularly in Cymatodera Gray and Phyllobaenus Dejean) await description. In addition, collections possess many Mexican clerids that fall outside our conception of the morphological limits of the known genera. I describe a monotypic genus below, based on a new species from the Sierra de Juárez of the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, an area known for endemism in both invertebrates and vertebrates.

A New Species

Dasylirion micropterum is described as a new species from high elevations of the Sierra Madre Oriental in the Mexican state of Coahuila. It differs from known species of Dasylirion for having ascending dark green leaves, narrow inflorescences, small fruits with narrow wings and its distribution restricted to the western side of the Sierra Madre Oriental. The identity of the new species was confirmed through the sequence of matK and rbcL plastid DNA regions. GenBank sequences accessions are included. An illustration, photos and a distribution map are presented for the new species.

A New Species

The only known species of the genus Sorex in Honduras is Sorex mccarthyi Matson & Ordóñez-Garza, which is endemic to Celaque National Park. This species shows the presence of a postmandibular foramen and canal, a characteristic that is useful to distinguish between species south of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and unique to the Sorex salvini species group. Recently, two specimens of Sorex were collected in 2018 at Cusuco National Park, northwestern Honduras. These specimens lack the distinctive characteristics possessed by the S. salvini species group and belong to the Sorex veraepacis species group. Previously, the S. veraepacis species group was only known from the highlands of the southern Mexican state of Chiapas and Guatemala. Principal component analysis shows that specimens from Sierra de Omoa are different in size and shape with respect to other known species (i.e., S. veraepacis Alston, S. ibarrai Matson & McCarthy and S. madrensis Matson & Ordóñez-Garza). We describe these two specimens, currently known only from an isolated cloud forest in the Sierra de Omoa, Honduras, as a new species.

Iucn Criteria

We propose that two populations previously referred to Hechtia epigyna, from the Mexican state of Hidalgo, represent a new species. Plants from the Hidalgo populations share the inferior ovary with Hechtia epigyna, an unusual trait in the genus, but they differ in their growth pattern (central vs. lateral inflorescence), characters of the adaxial foliar surface, petal color, and fruit position during dehiscence. We also provide a clarification on the typification of Hechtia epigyna. An assessment of the conservation status of the new species, Hechtia deceptrix following IUCN criteria resulted as CR (Critically Endangered).
