New record of Allamanda blanchetti Kunth (Apocynaceae) for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

This study report the first record of Allamanda blanchetii Kunth in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. This species was collected from an upland forest in Semi-deciduous Seasonal Forest. This occurrence adds new information about the distribution of this species and expands its range to Brazil, which is important for its conservation. We provide taxonomic information, distribution maps, conservation status assessment, photograps, and an identification key for the Allamanda L. species in the Atlantic Forest.

Present Description

This is the first voucher-based record of Selaginella conduplicata Spring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and the Brazilian Northeast. This species was considered restricted to the Amazon Basin, and here we report its occurrence beyond the Amazonian limits, expanding its distribution. Illustrations of the diagnostic characters of the species, information of geographic distribution and conservation status are presented. Besides, we present description as well as taxonomic and nomenclatural comments.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar novo registro de ocorrência para Ischnocodia annulus (Fabricius), além de fornecer informações sobre plantas hospedeiras e período de ocorrência da espécie. Os besouros foram observados em um fragmento florestal no Oeste do Paraná; trata-se do primeiro registro da espécie para a região Sul do Brasil e para a Mata Atlântica brasileira. Foram notificadas duas novas plantas hospedeiras para a espécie: Cordia trichotoma Vell. Arráb. ex Steud e Cordia eucalyculata Vell. (Boraginaceae). Os imaturos emergiram na segunda quinzena de setembro e os últimos adultos foram observados no início de dezembro. A emergência dos imaturos ocorre na mesma época que plântulas de C. trichotoma germinam em grande quantidade.Ischnocodia annulus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae): First Record for Brazilian Atlantic Forest, New Host Plants and Considerations about Period of Occurrence Abstract. The objective of this study was making new record of Ischnocodia annulus (Fabricius) and provides information about host plants period of occurrence. The beetles were observed in a forest fragment in Paraná western and this is the first record of I. annulus for the southern region of Brazil and for the brazilian Atlantic Forest. Two new host plants were notified: Cordia trichotoma Vell. Arráb. ex Steud and Cordia eucalyculata Vell. (Boraginaceae). The immatures emerged in the second half of September and the last adults were observed in early December. The emergence of immature occurs at the same time that C. trichotoma seedlings germinate aplenty.

AbstractAlbinism is the absence of pigmentation or coloration and is rarely found in nature. In this study we examined photos and videos obtained by cameras traps in the Legado das Águas Reserve. In the images, we identified two albino lowland tapirs. The results highlight the necessity of understanding the genetic diversity of lowland tapir populations and the important role of the professional photography associated with scientific research.

Sigmodontine rodents are well represented in northwestern Argentina, but information regarding their distribution in La Rioja is scarce. We add new information for seven species from seven localities in the Famatina range. These new records were obtained using both captures and owl pellet analysis. We cite the first record of Neotomys ebriosus in La Rioja. The collection locality is unusual for this species because of its low altitude and xeric conditions. Other notable results include the second record of Abrothrix andinus and of the genus Oligoryzomys at the province.

Abstract A taxonomic treatment of the genera Turnera and Piriqueta in the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, is presented. Fourteen species of Turnera and six species of Piriqueta were found in the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga, of which nine are endemic to Brazil. Turnera pernambucensis is threatened and restricted to the Atlantic Forest of Pernambuco, while T. joelii is a new record for the state. The species predominate in steppe savanna and semideciduous seasonal forest, but several of them grow naturally in anthropized areas. Catimbau National Park is the locality with the highest species richness. Tristyly is recorded for the first time in Piriqueta guianensis. Identification keys, descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and comments about habitat, flowering, fruiting, and morphological relationships are provided.

We present the first record of the Dipsadidae snakes Xenopholis scalaris for the state of Rio de Janeiro and a general distribution map for this species. This record for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest expands the known geographical distribution of X. scalaris and reveals that its populations might not be isolated or disjunctive, but rather rare in this biome. We also provide some recommendations for future conservation of X. scalaris.

The genus Xenohyla is currently composed of two species, X. truncata (Izecksohn, 1959) and Xenohyla eugenioi Caramaschi, 1998. Both species are usually found inside bromeliads; X. truncata inhabits the restingas of the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, and X. eugenioi transitional areas between the Atlantic Forest and the Caatinga biomes in northeastern Brazil. We report the first record of X. eugenioi in the state of Sergipe, expanding the species geographic distribution by 423.4 km in a straight line in relation to its type locality, in the municipality of Maracás, south-central state of Bahia, Brazil.

The species has only two historical records in the state, both at areas formerly covered by Atlantic Forest. The finding raises the expectations for the maintenance of the species in the state, stressing the fact that this is the first species record in a Cerrado area in Eastern Brazilian states.

There are described and illustrated Eugenia mimetica and E. sudestis. Eugenia mimetica is related to E. praeterita, but has smaller blades and shorter inflorescences. Eugenia sudestis is close to E. persicifolia but has glabrous blades and auxotelic inflorescences. Additionally, topics on distribution, phenology, habitat and conservation status are commented for each species.
