The vexing literary relationship between Kurt Sprengel and Friedrich Dietrich appears to have led to some of Dietrich’s work being willfully disregarded and subsequently forgotten/extinguished/suppressed. Examination of Dietrich’s oeuvre leads to the rehabilitation of fifteen of his new combinations, making securer by up to 175 years, some names in current use for largely New World plants. To take into account Dietrich’s work as a whole, four new combinations and three nomina nova are proposed with the help of authorities in the germane plant groups: Caamembeca andina (A.W. Benn.) J.F.B. Pastore & Mabb. (Bolivia), Callicarpa ekmanii I.E. Méndez & Mabb. (Cuba), Clematis wangiana Mabb., (Madagascar), Coleataenia pulchra (F. Dietr.) Mabb. & LeBlond (USA), Packera dubia (Spreng.) Trock & Mabb. (USA), Piper samainianum Mabb. (Peru), Rostellularia vahliana (Schult.) Mabb. (south Asia), for which a lectotype is designated, with other adjustments of names in Besleria (B. formosa now B. amabilis, tropical America), Oxalis (O. eckloniana now O. biloba, South Africa), Passiflora (P. arborea now P. magnoliifolia, Colombia), Ribes (R. ruizii now R. sylvestre, Chile), and possibly Tocoyena (South America), while further work on Lupinus is called for.

Salvia reflexa Hornem., a member of the New World subgenus Calosphace, ranges from North America to southern South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Afghanistan in Asia, and still continues to expand its range. Here we report further range expansion for S. reflexa into the tribal areas of Pakistan and hypothesize that it has been introduced from Afghanistan. This represents a new record for the flora of Pakistan.

The published records of jumping plant-lice from Brazil comprise 70 named species but four are erroneous or doubtful. For one species a variety has been described with uncertain status. Seven named species records are added here based on recent collections bringing the number of valid species to 73. Four new combinations are proposed: Colophorina favis (Brown & Hodkinson) (from Euphalerus), Euryconus fossiconis (Brown & Hodkinson) (from Euphalerus), Leuronota solani (Rübsaamen) (from Bactericera) and Macrocorsa beeryi (Caldwell) (from Psyllia). Additional unidentified species are recorded from the genera Auchmeriniella, Calophya, Ciriacremum, Euryconus, Isogonoceraia, Leuronota, Mastigimas, Pseudophacopteron and Livia, the last being considered a misidentification. Another 23 records concern psyllid galls which could not be attributed to any genus. The collection of psyllid galls from Brazil described by E. H. Rübsaamen was revised. The checklist provides for each species the general and Brazilian distributions as well as the host plants. Biogeographical and host plant patterns are briefly discussed. Half of the native psyllid genera are endemic to the Neotropic Region and slightly less than a third are restricted to the New World. Ten species are introduced from Australia (4), Europe (2), Asia (1) and other parts of South America (3). Fabaceae are host plants of a majority of members of the Psyllidae, whereas many Triozidae are associated with Myrtaceae.

Background and Aims: Traditionally regarded as a monotypic genus, Hedwigidium was recently proposed to be identical to Braunia, because “… some Braunia species have a seta as short as that of Hedwigidium”. This paper offers data and analyses for a refutation of the taxonomic hypothesis that Hedwigidium=Braunia. Methods: Seta length measurements (n=682) were sampled in 20 species of the four genera of Hedwigiaceae to compare variation between Hedwigia (n=10), Hedwigidium (n=40), Braunia (n=614), and Pseudobraunia (n=18). Measurements were subjected to analyses of variance and multiple comparison tests, to reveal if some Braunia species have a seta as short as that of Hedwigidium, or not. Key results: Analyses of variance followed by Mann-Whitney pairwise tests reveal that the average seta length in Hedwigidium imberbe (0.7 mm, sd=0.21) is different from the average seta length in each of the seven Braunia species with short setae, all in the range of 2.0-2.3 mm. For the first time, the geographical distribution of Hedwigidium is documented and mapped. Literature records are verified for Europe (United Kingdom, Norway, France, Italy, and Spain), Africa (Cameroon, DR Congo, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Reunion Island, Kenya), and Southeast Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia). In the New World, Hedwigidium is confirmed for Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and South America (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil). Conclusions: The data and statistical analyses presented here refute the taxonomic conclusion proposing Hedwigidium is synonymous with Braunia. None of the Braunia species has a seta as short as that of Hedwigidium. Therefore, still surviving unrefuted is the alternative hypothesis that Hedwigidium is a separate genus. Taxonomic characters important in distinguishing this genus from other genera in the Hedwigiaceae are discussed.

Lejeunea is one of the largest genera of liverworts in the Neotropics and probably the largest liverwort genus in Brazil. We present the first treatment of Lejeunea for Brazil, and for any major part of the Neotropics. Fifty-eight species and three varieties are recognized. A key to the Brazilian species of Lejeunea is provided and each species is briefly described with data on geographical distribution, habitat, differentiating characters and affinities, and reference to published illustrations. Illustrations of a few selected species are also provided. Almost half of the species (24) are widely distributed in tropical America and four of them occur also in Africa; one species, L. flava, is pantropical. About 40% of the species (23) have more restricted ranges and are limited to tropical South America. Ten of them (L. atlantica, L. beyrichiana, L. combuensis, L. flagellifera, L. juruana, L. longidentata, L. oligoclada, L. perpapillosa, L. pulchra, L. subplana) are only known from Brazil. Within Brazil 19 species are widespread, the remaining ones have restricted distributions in the country. Twenty-three species are newly reduced to synonymy (see list in text), fourteen new lectotypifications are designated, two species are newly described, L. atlantica sp. nov. and L. pulchra sp. nov., and four new combinations are proposed: L. acanthogona var. cristulata comb. nov., L. acanthogona var. diversicuspis comb. nov., L. acanthogona var. grossiretis comb. nov. and L. beyrichiana comb. nov. Lejeunea cochleata is reported new to Brazil and L. rionegrensis is new to Ecuador.

AbstractThe identities of all the Lepidoptera described by C.P. Thunberg have been reviewed critically. Most Lepidoptera described by Thunberg came from Europe, but he also named several species from Asia (probably all from Ceylon and Japan), South Africa and the New World. Almost all Thunberg's specimens are still extant and the identity of most of the species he named can therefore be based on examination of authentic material. The results are presented in the form of an alphabetical catalogue of the species names proposed by Thunberg, with cross-references to Thunberg's publications and a complete listing of all specimens of species named by Thunberg in the Thunberg collection. Thunberg's collection, the authorship of the species described in his dissertations and the dates of Fabricius' Entomologia Systematica 3(2) and Thunberg's Fauna Svecica 7, both published in 1794, are discussed. Lectotypes are designated for most species and several new synonymies and new combinations are proposed. The identity of the two species named marginella Fabricius, 1781 is established (under fimthriella Thunberg). Lectotypes of Tinea marginella Fabricius, 1781 and Tinea sexpunctella Fabricius, 1794 are designated.

The generic taxonomy of the Nothofagaceae is revised. We present a new phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters and map these characters onto a recently published phylogenetic tree obtained from DNA sequence data. Results of these and previous analyses strongly support the monophyly of four clades of Nothofagaceae that are currently treated as subgenera of Nothofagus. The four clades of Nothofagaceae are robust and well-supported, with deep stem divergences, have evolutionary equivalence with other genera of Fagales, and can be circumscribed with morphological characters. We argue that these morphological and molecular differences are sufficient for the four clades of Nothofagaceae to be recognised at the primary rank of genus, and that this classification will be more informative and efficient than the currently circumscribed Nothofagus with four subgenera.        Nothofagus is recircumscribed to include five species from southern South America, Lophozonia and Trisyngyne are reinstated, and the new genus Fuscospora is described. Fuscospora and Lophozonia, with six and seven species respectively, occur in New Zealand, southern South America and Australia. Trisyngyne comprises 25 species from New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. New combinations are provided where necessary in each of these genera.
