One New Species

The Neotropical orchid genusPonthievaR. Br. was established in 1813. The 70 representatives of this taxon are terrestrial, lithophytic, or epiphytic plants with basal, sessile, or petiolate leaves which are glabrous or pubescent. Their erect peduncle is pubescent and terminated by lax, few- to many-flowered raceme. Flowers are non-resupinate, with dissimilar sepals and asymmetrical petals which are adnate to the sides of the gynostemium. The lip is uppermost, fused to the lower part of the gynostemium. Here the synopsis of ColombianPonthievais presented. A list of national genus representatives includes 26 species, including one new species,P. vallecaucanaSzlach. Kolan. & Olędrzyńska, sp. nov., discovered during this study. We did not confirm occurrence of four species reported in previous research. To facilitate process of identification of genus representatives, we dividedPonthievainto six morphological complexes based on vegetative and floral characters. The highest number of species was found in Magdalena and Cauca Valley montane forests. Lectotypes forPonthieva inauditaandP. mandoniiare designated. Morphological characteristics and illustrations of perianth segments of Colombian representatives of the genus are provided as well as a key for their identification.

A faunistic survey of the Hispaniolan bugs of the family Coreidae is presented based on the study of over 1000 specimens deposited in several entomological collections. The new species Zicca gloriosa sp. nov. is described from the Dominican Republic. Another 12 species are new records for the island, 11 of them being new records for the Dominican Republic: Althos obscurator (Fabricius, 1803), Anasa acutangula Stål, 1870, Anasa tristis (De Geer, 1773), Eubule spartocerana Brailovsky, 1992, Leptoglossus confusus Alayo & Grillo, 1977, Mamurius cubanus Barber & Bruner, 1947, Merocoris distinctus Dallas, 1852, Merocoris typhaeus (Fabricius, 1798), Phthia rubropicta (Westwood, 1842), Sethenira ferruginea Stål, 1870, and Zicca rubricator rubricator (Fabricius, 1803). New records for Haiti are Anasa scorbutica (Fabricius, 1798), Catorhintha selector Stål, 1859, Chariesterus gracilicornis Stål, 1870, Rhytidophthia splendida (Valdes, 1910) and Zicca taeniola (Dallas, 1852). The literature citations presented in Perez-Gelabert (2008) of Leptoglossus cinctus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1836) and Leptoglossus stigma (Herbst, 1784) are probably based on erroneous identifications and not counted as part of the Hispaniolan fauna. The total number of species presently known from Hispaniola is raised to 28. Key to subfamilies, tribes, genera and species are included, as well as color dorsal habitus.

We report the Carabidae collected at the Shada Al-A’Ala Nature Reserve (SANR) in Baha Province in southwestern Saudi Arabia during 2013–2015. In total, 62 carabid species and subspecies representing 39 genera, 17 tribes, and 10 subfamilies were identified, including one new species, Paussusminutulus Nagel & Rasool, sp. n, four new country records, and 24 species that are new provincial records for Baha. The carabid fauna was dominated by the Lebiini with 19 species. A high number of species were rarely collected (34 species) in comparison to the more abundant and common species (9 species). The highest number of species (52 species) was collected during autumn. The carabids of SANR are represented by a large component of Afrotropical faunal elements (28.1%) and smaller numbers of Oriental species (3.5%) and endemic taxa (5.3%). In comparison to Garf Raydah Nature Reserve in Asir Province, also in southwestern Saudi Arabia, SANR had an equal number of carabids sharing 64.5% of the species but with lower number of endemic elements. Our study can serve as a component for implementing a conservation plan for SANR using carabid beetles as sentinel taxa. These research results may support future ecological studies on SNAR carabids.

The Fannidae includes over 400 described species, mainly known from the Holarctic Region. The number of species in the Oriental Region are underestimated. The Fannia fuscinata-group was established by Wang et al. in 2011, consisting of nine species at present. A new species of the genus Fannia (Diptera, Fanniidae) is described from Yunnan, part of the Oriental Region in China, namely Fannia menglaensis sp. nov. The detailed description, photographs and drawings of adults and male terminalia of F. menglaensis sp. nov. are provided. All specimens are preserved in the Museum of Beijing Forestry University.

In order to improve knowledge of Trichoptera diversity in Northeast Region, Brazil, we present here the first checklist of caddisflies from Maranhão State with a description of a new species and geographical records for the Northeast Region and for all of Brazil. Collections were made in 16 sites distributed in three municipalities of Maranhão State. A total of 54 caddisflies species, 26 genera and 10 families were recorded, including one new species of Leptoceridae, Triplectides maranhensis sp. nov., which is described and illustrated. All species listed here are recorded for the first time for the state, 23 of which are new records for the Northeast Region, as well as five new species for Brazil. These results increase the number of species reported from the Northeast Region from 167 to 221.

One New Species

The Hydrobiidae of Lord Howe Island consist of three genera and nine species. Two species can be divided into two subspecies and one species into five subspecies. The total number of species-group taxa is 15. It is suggested that this fauna is the result of three separate colonizations during the late Tertiary or Pleistocene. Most of the species live in streams, one is adapted to living on waterfalls, and another is subterranean in habit. Hemistomia Crosse contains six species. One, Bythinella whiteleggei Brazier, is probably extinct and two others are restricted to the summit of Mt Cower. A fourth species can be separated into two subspecies, both previously undescribed. One new species is subterranean in habit. Fluviopupa Pilsbry contains two species, one with two subspecies and the other with five, three of the subspecies being new. The remaining genus group, tentatively referred to Potamopyrgus Stimpson, contains only one species [P. oscitans (Iredale)] which is found living on waterfalls. There are seven species pairs on the island, which show a size ratio of 1.3-1.8, suggesting that character displacement (size) may have occurred.

One New Species

This history presents many points of interest to the naturalist, the antiquary, and the historian. The paper is a plea for a wider, yet reliable, record and characterisation of these mammals and birds than we have at present. All zoologists are familiar with them, but the information consists mainly of details which none but specialists can appreciate. General readers look for more science, suggestive of habits and habitats. They wish to know something of the number of species recorded at different periods, their gradational relations, their geographical distribution, and the opinions of early observers as to them. Do their remains throw any light on their physical environments, or on man's condition at the time, as in touch with them, as influenced by them—the living among the living? In tracing the history of beast or bird, we meet with many collateral subjects of importance—such, for example, as climatal changes, alterations of surface over wide areas, links dropped out of gradational rank, and thereby the realisation of new conditions of existence by the removal of one old species or the introduction of one new species.
