A New Species

A new species of Nemoura Latreille, 1796, N. aprutiana sp. n., from the Italian Abruzzo region in the central part of the Apennines, is described and illustrated, and compared to its three Italian sister species N. hesperiae Consiglio, 1960, N. lucana Nicolai & Fochetti, 1991 and N. palliventris Aubert, 1953. Information on the distribution and ecological preferences of this new species is also provided, as well as a distribution map of the four Italian sister species.

A New Species

Pherbellia jalili Mortelmans & Kazerani sp. nov. is described based on 5 males and 4 females. The new species is associated with old deciduous forest and is found only in the Hyrcanean forest in Iran. It is compared with its sister species, P. annulipes (Zetterstedt, 1846), and a comprehensive distribution map for both species is given. The key to species of this group of Pherbellia is updated including the Japanese Pherbellia tricolor Sueyoshi, 2001. Barcodes are generated for P. jalili sp. nov., P. annulipes, and P. nana nana (Fallén, 1820).

A New Species

A new species of Ceraticelus Simon, 1884 from southern California is described, Ceraticelus artemisiae sp. nov. Its probable sister species, Ceraticelus phylax Ivie & Barrows, 1935, a potential adventive species with which it now often co-occurs in southern California, is redescribed for the first time. We provide detailed descriptions of both species because an adequate definition of the genus is lacking and the conformation of the male Ceraticelus palpal bulb has been only superficially treated. We also provide a definition of Ceraticelus based on examination of specimens of the type species, Ceraticelus fissiceps (O. P.-Cambridge). Problems associated with both the conformation of the male bulb and the paracymbium morphology are discussed. Despite the lack of a phylogenetic analysis of Ceraticelus, we propose that Ceraticelus phylax and Ceraticelus artemisiae sp. nov. are sister species based on shared characters that distinguish them from all other congeners. We suggest that the presence of Ceraticelus phylax in California is the result of incidental introduction rather than natural dispersal. Habitat, distribution, and phenology data are presented in the text. Illustrations and a distribution map are also furnished for both species.

A New Species

Abstract—Justicia rubrobracteata, a new species from northeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to J. aequilabris due to its shrubby habit, and terminal and axillary spicate inflorescences with red flowers. However, J. rubrobracteata is differentiated mainly by the shape and color of its bracts and bracteoles as well as an orangish macula in the corolla, and a torulose capsule. In addition, J. rubrobracteata is only known from northeastern Brazil, from the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte, while J. aequilabris is widely distributed in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. A table with the main morphological characters of both species is included, as well as photographs, a key to species of Justicia for the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte in northeastern Brazil, a distribution map of both species, and conservation data for the new species.

Abstract—We present a new species, Turnera fasciculifolia, from the Jalapão region, the largest continuous protected area of Cerrado in Tocantins State, in central Brazil. The new species belongs to Turnera series Leiocarpae, and it can be recognized by the linear ericoid leaves with revolute margin, generally without extrafloral nectaries, and the basal leaves of the young axillary branches gathered in fascicles. We provide a description, illustrations, a distribution map, and a comparison with T. genistoides and T. revoluta, which also have ericoid leaves.

Embolemidae is a cosmopolitan but species-poor group of chrysidoid wasps with a scarce fossil record, despite a long evolutionary history since at least the Early Cretaceous. Here, the new species, Ampulicomorpha quesnoyensis sp. nov., is illustrated and described based on a single female found in Early Eocene amber of Oise (France). The new species is compared with the three other known fossil species of the genus, and a key to all fossil species of Ampulicomorpha is provided. This is the third European fossil species of Ampulicomorpha, which suggests that the genus was once well established in Western Europe while it is more widely distributed in the Eastern Palaearctic region today. A list of all fossil and extant Embolemidae of the world, as well as a map of their geographical distribution map, are provided.

A New Species

Beaucarnea olsonii is described and illustrated from tropical deciduous forests of SW Puebla, Mexico. The new species can be distinguished from other Beaucarnea species by its massively swollen base that abruptly tapers into slender branches, by its conspicuously long stigma, and by its pedicel articulation that occurs at 2/3 of the length of the pedicel below the flower. With this new addition, the total number of endemic species of Beaucarnea for Mexico increases to 10, making this country the greatest center of diversification and endemism for the genus. We also provide a distribution map and a conservation status recommendation for the new species, as well as a key to the Beaucarnea species of southern central Mexico.

A New Species

Tigridiopalma longmenensis, a new species from Guangdong, China, is described. This species differs from its ally, T. magnifica, by the polychasium consisting of scorpioid cymes, hypanthium with carinas on angles, and longer stamens with a conspicuously white or pink spur at the connective base of anther. A diagnosis and a distribution map of the two species are also provided. The complete chloroplast genome of T. longmenensis was reported here. Phylogenetic analyses based on complete chloroplast genomes from T. longmenensis and other 15 Melastomataceae species indicated that T. longmenensis is sister to T. magnifica. The discovery of T. longmenensis terminates Tigridiopalma as a monotypic genus.
