A New Species

We reassess the taxonomy of the Indian endemic snake Xylophis captaini and describe a new species of Xylophis based on a type series of three specimens from the southernmost part of mainland India. Xylophis deepakisp. nov. is most similar phenotypically to X. captaini, with which it was previously confused. The new species differs from X. captaini by having a broader, more regular and ventrally extensive off-white collar, more ventral scales (117–125 versus 102–113), and by lack of flounces on the body and proximal lobes of the hemipenis. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial 16S DNA sequences strongly indicates that the new species is most closely related to X. captaini, differing from it by an uncorrected pairwise genetic distance of 4.2%. A revised key to the species of Xylophis is provided.

A new species of Striga from Tamil Nadu parts of Western Ghats of India is described and illustrated as Striga kamalii sp. nov. The new species shows similarity with S. densiflora in having a densely hispid stem, linear leaves, bracts longer than calyx, and oblong fruit shorter than calyx lobes, but differs in the 10-ribbed calyx, the glandular hairs on calyx and corolla tube, and the obovate-rounded petals. A detailed description, with data on distribution and parasitism together with relevant taxonomic notes and colour photographs are provided.

A new species of the genus Theretra Hübner [1819], Theretra shendurneensis sp. nov., is described from Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary, southern Western Ghats, India, based on external and internal morphology, and genetic markers. The new species is compared in external and male genital morphology, genetic divergence and geographic range with three similar and closely related species: T. boisduvalii (Bugnion, 1839), T. sumatrensis (Joicey and Kaye, 1917) and T. rhesus (Boisduval, [1875]). Recent changes to the classification of Theretra are discussed and rejected.

A new species of Begonia, B. bachulkarii has been described from the southern Western Ghats of India, which appears to be a narrow endemic restricted to its type locality. It is closely allied to B. floccifera. Morphological similarities and differences between both species and with the remaining species of sect. Reichenheimia from India are discussed. An artificial key is provided for the identification of species of sect. Reichenheimia from India.

The genus Chlorophytum Ker Gawler (1808: 1071) is one of the major genera of family Asparagaceae (APG 2009) with about 212 taxa (Kativu &a Nordal 1993, Govaerts et al. 2012). It is distributed in the Old World tropics especially in Africa and India (Mabberley 2005). It is represented by 17 species in India of which 15 occur in the Western Ghats (Malpure & Yadav 2009). Characters like anther filament ratio, anther filaments, number of tepal nerves, pedicel articulation and somatic chromosome number are taxonomically important (Adsul et al. 2014).
