Two new species of genus Lactarius from India, Lactarius sarthalanus (L. subg. Plinthogalus) and L. drassinus (L. subg. Lactarius) are presented with detailed descriptions, line drawings and microphotographs. The novelty and placement of these taxa within the genus Lactarius are confirmed with ITS based phylogeny.

A couple of forays to the temperate to subalpine regions of the western Himalaya uncovered two new species: Russula rajendrae and R. petersenii. Russula rajendrae (subg. Russula sec. Russula subsect. Russula), is characterized by a pale red to venetian pink or pastel red colored pileus with grayish yellow patches in the center, a white spore print, an acrid taste, and cystidia with variably shaped apices (capitate, rounded, moniliform, appendiculate or pointed) whereas, Russula petersenii (subg. Russula sec. Paraincrustatae subsect. Integrae), is characterized by a white pileus with pale yellow to light yellow patches and a concolorous stipe, white to yellowish white lamellae with 3 series of lamellulae, a white spore print, an acrid taste, basidiospores with isolated warts (sparsely connected in places), and different types of cystidial apices. Macro- and micromorphological descriptions together with illustrations and phylogenetic inferences are presented for both species. Allied taxa (endemic and extralimital) are also compared.

Russula lakhanpalii sp. nov. and R. indocatillus sp. nov. which were collected from Uttarakhand Himalaya of India are described here with morphological descriptions, nrITS-based molecular estimation and comparison with allied taxa. The former species belongs to subgen. Heterophyllidia subsect. Cyanoxanthinae whereas, the latter comes under subgen. Heterophyllidia, sect. Ingratae.

Two new species of the genus Amanita are described from India. Amanita argenteoalba, a member of subgenus Lepidella section Lepidella, is characterized by its small to medium sized basidiocarps, white to silvery white pileus with brownish orange tinge, universal veil on pileus as floccose-felted to subfelted patches, rooting bulb covered by recurved scales on its upper parts, subglobose basidiospores, the absence of clamp connections in the basidioma and universal veil on pileus comprising of irregularly arranged inflated cells with scattered to frequent filamentous hyphae and occurrence in broad leaf forest under Rhododendron arboreum. Amanita dhakuriana, a representative member of subgenus Amanita section Vaginatae, is characterized by its small sized basidiocarps, the pileus that is greenish grey over centre and pale grey towards the margin and subglobose to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores. Both species are described, illustrated and compared with morphologically similar taxa, and nrLSU-based phylogenetic analyses were provided.

New material of water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) from the Uttarakhand State of India is reported, including a new species, Kongsbergia indica sp. nov. (Aturidae), and new records of the species Sperchon garhwalensis Kumar, Kumar & Pešić, 2007, Sperchon indicus Kumar, Kumar & Pešić, 2007, and Atractides indicus Pešić & Smit, 2007. Moreover, in the light of the newly discovered male of Torrenticola turkestanica (Sokolow, 1926), populations from South Korea and Thailand formerly assigned to the latter species are here attributed to two new species, i.e., T. wonchoeli sp. nov. and T. rangareddyi sp. nov., respectively.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

Abstract—Two new diploid species, Aira minoricensis and Aira hercynica, are described and illustrated, along with chromosome counts, risk assessment, distribution and habitat, phenology, and comparisons with morphologically similar species. A comparative table and a key for the species of Aira for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands are provided to assist in the identification of these overlooked species, and their relationships to other taxa are discussed.

Abstract Bed-by-bed sampling of twelve Barremian sections in southeastern France from pelagic basin (Vocontian Basin) to neritic platforms (Arc of Castellane, Arc of Nice and Provencal Domain) has enabled the collection of isochronous samples of the ammonite genus Gassendiceras. Three poorly known species of the Toxancyloceras vandenheckei Zone (Upper Barremian) are revised: G. alpinum, G. multicostatum and G. hoheneggeri; two new species are described (G. rebouleti nov. sp. and G. bosellii nov. sp.). The intraspecific variability of particular species was recognised. This variability is between slender peramorphic and robust paedomorphic extreme morphologies, with the presence of all intermediates.
