Geographical distribution of Corydoras micracanthus Regan 1912 (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae), with comments on its behavior and type locality.

A catalogue of the species of superfamily Pterophoroidea from India is presented. The documented fauna comprises 108 species belonging to two families, Macropiratidae (one species), and Pterophoridae (107 species in 38 genera). Four subfamilies of Pterophoridae are recognized: i) Agdistinae (one species), ii) Deuterocopinae (five species in one genus), iii) Ochyroticinae (three species in one genus), and iv) Pterophorinae (98 species in 35 genera). The present catalogue is based primarily on the literatures in which Indian pterophoroids have been mentioned or described. For each species, the type-locality, geographical distribution (within and outside of India), host plants, and synonyms are provided. Pterophorus karmawangdi Gielis & Wangdi, syn. n., is new subjective junior synonym of Pterophorus tinsuki Kovtunovich, 2003.

In the General Catalogue of the Homoptera (METCALF, 1967)contains 36 genera and 215 Neotropical species, including north ofMexico distributed within 10 tribes (two genera and six species inEuscelini, one genera and one species in Colladonini, one genusand one species in Goniagnathini, four genera and 52 species inAcinopterini, one genus and one species in Cicadulini, four generaand 80 species in Scaphytopiini, five genera and 32 species inBalcluthini, one genus and one species in Macrostelini, three genera and five species in Platymetopiini and 14 genera and 82 species in Scaphoideini). However, since 1967 many papers on Neotropical Deltocephalinae have been published including classification and nomenclatorial alterations, new taxa and geographical distribution. The complete bibliography of the leafhopper literature up to 1955 can be found in the General Catalogue of the Homoptera, Fascicle VI, Part 10 (METCALF, 1962-1968). OMAN et al. (1990) published a complete list of the world genera of Cicadellidae and the bibliography between 1955-1985. In this work are recorded 21 Neotropical subfamilies, 16 Neotropical tribes and 184 Neotropical genera (one genus in Acinopterini, one genus in Cicadullini, one genus in Cerrillini, six genera in Hecalini, one genus in Luheriini, two genera in Doraturini, two genera in Stenometopiini, four genera in Scaphytopiini, two genera in Platymetopiini, six genera in Scaphoideini, one genus in Balcluthini, seven genera in Macrostelini, two genera in Opsiini, one genus in Penthimiini, 40 genera in Deltocephalini and 107 genera in Athysanini); eight genera without references about the tribe. Another subfamily and genus were added by GODOY & WEBB (1994). This catalogue is an attempt to offer the names and bibliographic references for taxa of Deltocephalinae (Caribbean, Central America and South America). After each species-group name, the type locality, and anabbreviation of the institution where the type is deposited, are given. The geographical distribution is based upon previously published records. Each species-group name is followed by the informations including of the author (s), publication year and page and when not strictly taxonomical, an abbreviated indication of the matter treated such as: cat. — catalogue, desc. — description, distr. — geographical distribution, ill. — illustration, rev. — revision, syn. — synonymy, tax. — taxonomy.

Type Material

AbstractEight genera and 25 species are recognized among the Nearctic, Mexican, and West Indian Oodini. Four new species are described: Oodinus pseudopiceus (type locality: Hillsborough River St. Pk., Hillsborough Co., Florida); Oodinus similis (type locality: San Quintín, Chiapas, Mexico); Oodinus darlingtoni (type locality: Cauto El Cristo, Oriente, Cuba); and Oodinus edentulus (type locality: 31.8 mi E Francisco Escárcega, Campeche, Mexico). Oodes fluvialis LeConte, 1863, previously recognized as a subspecies of O. americanus Dejean, 1826, is given specific status. The following new synonymies are established: Eulachnocrepis Habu, 1956 with Lachnocrepis LeConte, 1853; Stenocrepis texana (LeConte, 1863), S. chalcas Bates, 1882, and S. chalcochrous Chaudoir, 1883 with S. insulana (Jacquelin du Val, 1857); Stenocrepis quatuordecimstriata (Chaudoir, 1843), S. picipes (LeConte, 1844), S. stenocephala (LaFerté-Sénectère, 1851), and S. sulcata Chevrolat, 1863 with S. mexicana (Chevrolat, 1835). Lectotypes are designated for Oodinus alutaceus (Bates, 1882), Oodes amaroides Dejean, 1831, O. fluvialis LeConte, 1863, O. americanus Dejean, 1826, Stenocrepis texana (LeConte, 1863), S. chalcas Bates, 1882, S. lecontei (Chaudoir, 1857), S. quatuordecimstriata (Chaudoir, 1843), S. picipes (LeConte, 1844), S. cuprea (Chaudoir, 1843), S. tibialis (Chevrolat, 1834), S. femoralis (Chaudoir, 1835), S. elegans (LeConte, 1851), and S. gratiosa (Bates, 1882). The genus-group name Nanodes Habu, 1956, a homonym of Nanodes Schönherr, 1825, is replaced by Nanodiodes, new replacement name. For each genus treated, the following are provided: citation of original description and selected references, notes about synonymy (if required), description, geographical distribution and diversity, and monophyly and phylogenetic relationships. For each species included, the following are given: citation of original description and synonymies, type material, etymology (for new species only), notes about synonymy (if required), diagnosis, description, geographical distribution, bionomics, and phylogenetic relationships (if the genus includes more than two species). Keys to genera and, for each genus, to species are included. The species distributions are mapped, and the important structural features are illustrated.

First Time

Despite the ubiquity of sea anemones (Cnidaria: Actiniaria) in tropical ecosystems, our understanding of their biodiversity and taxonomy is limited. Here we re-establish the identity of an intertidal zooxanthellate species, Phymanthuspinnulatus Martens in Klunzinger, 1877. Originally described from a single preserved specimen in the Berlin Museum by CB Klunzinger, his brief footnote lacked crucial details to positively identify the species. Our redescription is based on more than 50 living individuals of P.pinnulatus collected from its type locality, Singapore. These were examined and compared with type materials of the species and its congeners. Specimens of P.pinnulatus differ from syntypes of species described as Phymanthuslevis Kwietniewski, 1898 from Indonesia, as well as Phymanthussansibaricus Carlgren, 1900 and Phymanthusstrandesi Carlgren, 1900, both described from East Africa. Phymanthuspinnulatus was encountered on the lower intertidal, among coral rubble and between rocky crevices. It is vibrantly coloured and has 96 marginal tentacles with branching outgrowths along each, resulting in a ‘frilly’ appearance. The anemone has a flat expanded oral disc, with discal tentacles that are inconspicuous and reduced, unlike syntypes of its congeners. Details of its live appearance, musculature, and cnidom are also provided for the first time. Overall, types of cnidae and capsule sizes differ from other known species of Phymanthus documented elsewhere. It is inferred that P.pinnulatus has a wide distribution that extends eastwards from Singapore, as far as Ambon and the Torres Straits. Some individuals reported as Phymanthusmuscosus Haddon and Shackleton, 1893 and Phymanthusbuitendijki Pax, 1924 are probably P.pinnulatus. This morphological analysis provides new insights into the characters used to delimit P.pinnulatus, clarifies its geographical distribution, and contributes to an ongoing revision of the genus Phymanthus.

Type Locality

The genus Alysicarpus Desv. is concentrated in India and distributed mostly in the dry zones of the country. During the course of investigation, the authors came across the several specimens Alysicarpus longifolius (Rottl. ex Spreng.) Wight & Arn.var. major Pokle. A. longifolius (Rottl. ex Spreng.) Wight & Arn.var. major Pokle, an endemic taxa, was so far known only from single collection. In the recent survey, numbers of additional populations were found in Central India in addition to the type locality. Extended geographical distribution with illustration has been reported in the present article.

A key for identification of the 46 genera of Acanthocinini without erect setae on the elytra and which occur in Mexico and Central America is provided. The 46 genera include 809 species of which 302 in Mexico and Central America. Diagnosis for each genus is provided, as well as type-locality and geographical distribution of the type-species. The monophyly (a non-exclusive cladistic term, already in use since the 19th century) of Acanthocinus (Acanthocinus) Dejean, 1821 is questioned, indicating the need for a complete review of the subgenus, including American and non-American species. The dubious monophyly of Eleothinus Bates, 1881, and Pseudastylopsis Dillon, 1956 is also indicated. The inclusion of Alphinellus Bates, 1881 in Acanthocinini is questioned, but its maintenance or exclusion from the tribe depends on the study of the type species, which was not possible at the moment. The possibility of the synonymy between Lepturginus Gilmour, 1959 and Urgleptes Dillon, 1956, as well as the synonymy between the two species currently included in the former, are suggested.

Abstract A description is provided for Ploioderma cedri. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Cedrus deodara. DISEASE: This fungus is a pathogen of Cedrus deodara, causing premature defoliation. The incidence of the disease varies from 5-6% of trees in a plantation in Himachal Pradesh (the type locality) to 100% of trees in a natural stand in Jammu & Kashmir. The first symptoms were paling of infected regions of the needles, which then turned yellow and fell prematurely. The effect on the economic potential of the plantation has not been assessed and no treatments have yet been recommended. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia: India (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir). TRANSMISSION: Presumably by air-borne ascospores in humid conditions.

Dyckia walteriana is a recently described rupicolous bromeliad, whose only officially known population is located on a basaltic outcrop in the Serra Geral formation, north of Paraná state, Brazil. Unfortunately, the population of the type locality was dramatically reduced in 2018 by an intentional fire. The main objectives of this work were to know the geographical distribution of D. walteriana, seeking the registration of new populations, and, through a rapid assessment, establish the risk of extinction of each one. We selected 40 sites with rocky outcrops located between the third and second plateaus of Paraná state, Brazil, within the Serra Geral formation. Twelve populations of D. walteriana were found occupying “islands” of basaltic rocks. The extent of occurrence of the species corresponds to a polygon of 533 km2, with an occupancy area of 0.71 km2. Of the 12 populations, only four presented no or low risk of extinction, while eight presented medium to extreme risk of extinction in the next 10 years. D. walteriana falls into the category “critically endangered”, demanding urgent measures for the conservation of relictual populations.
