Abstract A description is provided for Toruiopsis candida. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Torulopsis candida is one of the less common species of the commensal yeast flora in humans and has been associated with both superficial and systemic infections. The organism has occasionally been implicated in cases of fungal septicaemia and has been isolated from urine, vagina and feet. Veterinary associations of T. candida include bovine mastitis, bovine and ovine abortion and isolation from cervical swats in mares. Pathogenicity studies have been carried out by Khon et al. who found Torulopsis glabrata to be non-pathogenic to normal mice following intravenous inoculation with up to 10 cells but 50% mortality in cortisone treated mice inoculated with similar doses (Sabouraudia 18: 319-327, 1980). The diseased mice were found to have macroscopic lesions on liver, lung, kidney and spleen. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Sudan); Asia (Japan, Kuwait); Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, UK); North America (USA); South America (Brazil, Venezuela).

Abstract A description is provided for Aspergillus aculeatus. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Not a common species, but it has been isolated from soils and organic debris (CABI BIOSCIENCE, 1999). DISEASES: Causes postharvest dry rot of tomatoes (FAJOLA, 1979). GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION: World-wide, but with a preference for tropical and subtropical climates.

We describe a new species of Gomesa (Oncidiinae, Orchidaceae), Gomesa caatingana, with restricted distribution on caatinga inselbergs in Paraíba and Pernambuco States, Brazil. Morphological and karyological characters of the new species were compared with those of Gomesa flexuosa, which is morphologically the most closely related species. Differences in geographical distribution, habit, flower morphology and chromosome number support description of this new species.

In this study the selachians were captured monthly on inshore grounds (10–30 m deep) with a beam-trawl over ten years (1975–1984), mainly in the Bay of Douarnenez, the Roads of Brest and the Bertheaume Cove area (west Brittany). Catches were composed of five species, accounting numerically for 6–5% of the mean catch of the trawled fishes, but reached up to 20% in Bertheaume Cove. On account of the adaptability to different bottom substrates Raja clavata is the most common species. Raja microocellata is uncommon except in the Cove of Bertheaume where it represented half of the selachian biomass captured.

 The genus Seriphium, previously treated as an informal group within Stoebe, is resurrected on the grounds of flower morphology, pollen morphology, and basal resin cavities in the leaves, as well as geographical distribution. The generic circumscriptions of Stoebe (with 18 accepted species) and Seriphium (with 9 accepted species) are revised in southern Africa and neighbouring islands, and five new combinations are proposed in Seriphium. Elytropappus ruscianus, Stoebe burchellii and St. vulgaris are listed as new synonyms in Seriphium, whilst Stoebe copholepis, St. ensori, St. sphaerocephala, St. humilis, St. salteri and St. bruniades are new synonyms in Stoebe. Keys, descriptions and distribution maps are provided for all species.

In this document we extend the geographical distribution for three common species of diurnal butterflies from the Colombian Caribbean region (Aides dysoni, Calpodes ethlius, and Anteos clorinde). The specimens were captured with an insect net in samplings conducted in the Arjona jurisdiction (Bolivar, Deparment) in 2015, between 8:00 and 16:00 hours. For each of them we provide important morphological characters for their recognition, and complement their distribution in the Neotropic.

Abstract A description is provided for Entomophthora planchoniana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) including species of Cinarinae, Chaitophorinae and Drepanosiphanae which are not usually attacked by the other common species of the Entomophthorales. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread, including Europe, N. & S. America, Australasia, Asia. DISEASE: Aphids become infected by a germ tube from an adhering conidium penetrating the cuticle. Naturally green aphids killed by this species are straw coloured and those filled with resting spores are grey. Black aphids turn reddish-brown. The rhizoids issuing from infected large aphids viewed from the side suggest stout supports. In N. Europe this species persists in aphid populations in warmer and drier conditions than all the other species attacking aphids except Neozygites fresenii. It frequently infects cereal aphids infesting the ears of cereals whereas Erynia neoaphidis is usually restricted to aphids on the leaves of the plant where conditions are less extreme.
