This is a preliminary species list for the mammals of Nombre de Dios National Park (PNND) based on 5 visits to 8 sampling sites in the following systems: a) low montane wet forest, b) Sub tropical wet forest, c) within the limits of these forests, and d) in Mangrove Forests of two coastal lakes.  We recorded 43 species belonging to 6 orders: Marsupialia, Xenarthra, Chiroptera, Primates, Perissodactyla, and Rodentia. The order with more families was Rodentia (6 = 35%), followed by Chiroptera with (5 = 29%). Nine species are in CITES, three in Appendix I, two in Appendix II  and three in Appendix III. We recorded the bat Hylonycteris underwoodi for the first time for Honduras and an endemic species from Central America Rhogeessa menchaue inhabits the park. There are 24 new records for Atlantis.

We present the first taxonomic account of the family Thismiaceae in the countries of Eastern Indochina. A single genus of Thismiaceae, Thismia, with eight species is known to inhabit this region. Six species, including four national endemics, are found in Vietnam, whereas Cambodia and Laos each has a single and endemic species of Thismia. We report new records of a number of species, which allowed us to establish for the first time their distribution areas. We show geographical distribution of all species of Thismia in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam on a map. We recognise Hon Ba Nature Reserve and Chu Yang Sin National Park as hotspots of known Thismia diversity in Eastern Indochina. We confirm the presence of T. javanica in Vietnam, earlier known as a doubtful report, by specimen investigation. We significantly amend morphological descriptions of several Vietnamese species. We highlight a number of characters with remarkable intraspecific variation, along with the most important structural differences between morphologically similar species. We discuss remaining taxonomic problems of Indochinese Thismia, and present an identification key to species of Thismiaceae in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

Four new shallow water species of the genus Pacifigorgia were found in recent surveys along the Pacific coast of Panama. One of the species was only found in dense patches at two shallow seamount-like localities inside the Coiba National Park, Gulf of Chiriqu . Two other species were patchily distributed at several localities in the Gulf of Chiriqu . A fourth species was widely distributed around the gulfs of Chiriqu and Panama encompassing a broad range of habitats and depths. The new species are described and illustrated in detail with scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of the sclerites, and colour photographs of the colony forms. The suspected occurrence of a particular Pacifigorgia species for this region is confirmed and two other new records are added to the species list. With the new four species, a total of 15 are established for Panama, making 31 species for the eastern Pacific to date.

Background: A number of books, articles and checklists have been published on Lesotho’s flora. The species presented here have been recorded for South Africa but have not previously been recorded for Lesotho.Objectives: As part of a study aimed at updating biodiversity records of the southern parts of Lesotho (Qacha’s Nek and Quthing districts), with the main focus of compiling a checklist for the Sehlabethebe National Park, this report presents plant species that have until now not been recorded for the Lesotho flora.Method: Several field trips were undertaken between 2004 and 2009. Plant identification was done based on observation and photographic records. After the compilation of the checklist, it became clear that two of the species observed had not been previously recorded for Lesotho. A follow-up trip was carried out in February 2016, during which plant specimens of the presumed new records were collected and deposited at the National University of Lesotho Herbarium (ROML) [and the University of Johannesburg Herbarium (JRAU)]. Plant identification was confirmed by experts in the family Apocynaceae.Results: Two species not previously recorded for Lesotho, namely Ceropegia africana subsp. barklyi and Duvalia caespitosa subsp. caespitosa, were found during the exploration of the southern parts of Lesotho which included the Sehlabathebe National Park.Conclusions: The fact that two species have been recorded in Lesotho for the first time clearly indicates that documentation of the flora of Lesotho needs to be updated. This work is therefore regarded as complementary to previous publications on the Lesotho flora.

Bulgarian carabid fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country lacking enough research. The present paper aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the subfamily Trechinae, containing many diverse, interesting and endemic species. Currently, 55 species of Trechini, 118 species of Bembidiini (incl. Tachyina), and 13 species of Pogonini are known in Bulgaria. This study gives new information and new records on 41 Trechinae species and 17 zoogeographical regions and subregions. The material was collected in the period from 1979 to 2020 through different sampling methods. There are 20 species recorded for the first time in different regions. Two species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Seventeen species haven’t been reported for more than 20 years from the Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., and Slavyanka Mts., and are now discovered there again.

A revision of the Central American species of the genus Brachiacantha was undertaken to update the knowledge of the Central American species of the genus. Material of several collections was reviewed, using original descriptions and keys, and comparing with the type material. Twenty-five species of the genus Brachiacantha were found in Central American material, including nine new species: B. nubes Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. dentata Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. isthmena Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. aurantiapleura Nestor-Arriola, Solís and Toledo-Hernández, sp. nov., B. invertita Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. papiliona Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. tica Nestor-Arriola, Toledo-Hernández and Solís, sp. nov., B. hexaspina González, Větrovec and Nestor-Arriola, sp. nov., and B. mimica Nestor-Arriola and Toledo-Hernández, sp. nov. Nomenclatural changes include Brachiacantha gorhami (Weise), comb. nov., B. guatemalensis (Gorham), comb. nov., and Brachiacantha duodecimguttata Leng, syn. nov. for B. lepida Mulsant. The male genitalia of the species B. fenestrata Gorhan, B. octostigma Mulsant, B. aperta Weise, and B. cachensis Gorhan are described and illustrated for the first time. New records include B. indubitabilis Crotch and B. bipartita Mulsant (Costa Rica and Guatemala), B. gorhami (Weise) (El Salvador), and B. cachensis Gorham (Panamá). A key to the species is included.

The Hispaniola endemic species Thaloe ennery Brescovit and Thaloe leboulet Brescovit & Oliveira, previously known from Haiti, are found for the first time in Dominican Republic. Eleven male specimens of T. ennery were located in seven new localities from the Southeast Dominican Provinces: Pedernales, Barahona, Peravia, La Romana and La Altagracia. Additionally, four males of T. leboulet were located in the Northwest Dominican province of Santiago Rodríguez. This extends its distribution from the previously known occurrences in Haiti. All specimens are deposited in the Arachnological Collection of the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural “Prof. Eugenio de Jesús Marcano”.
