Kalanchoe torrejacqii (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae) is described as a new phyllo-bulbiliferous species. It occurs in the Namorona River valley, near Ranomafana, southern Madagascar. Differences between K. torrejacqii and the partially sympatric K. laxiflora are discussed and the new species is contrasted with representatives of the K. rosei complex with which it shares some similarities. Kalanchoe torrejacqii is the most northern pink-flowered species among other such species that belong to the recently described K. sect. Invasores, to which K. laxiflora and representatives of the K. rosei complex also belong.

A New Species

As a part of an assessment of loricariid catfishes inhabiting the Andes of Colombia, specimens belonging to an interesting new species were identified. The new species is described herein, and it is tentatively included in the genus Cordylancistrus. The new species can be easily distinguished among its congeners by the presence of a unique diagnostic character: a fleshy keel or excrescence, black or dark brown, over the posterior tip of supraoccipital. Specimens of the new species were captured in rivers of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Sierra de Perijá that drain to the Magdalena River Basin and Caribbean Sea. The occurrence of one species of Cordylancistrus in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta could have interesting biogeographic implications for hypotheses related to the geological history of northwestern corner of South America or to the dispersal or vicariance models used to explain biogeographical patterns of related species in Colombia.

A New Species

A new species of the Andean-Patagonian Liolaemus elongatus clade is described. Liolaemus burmeisteri sp. nov. differs from other members of its clade in a character combination of light brown general coloration, plain dorsal pattern, dark lateral areas, a very bright orange-yellow coloration on femoral area and lower belly, and other morphological and genetic traits. It is distributed on a restricted area on sedimentary rocky outcrops found in an intermountain valley. Liolaemus burmeisteri sp. nov. is known only for its type locality in Curi Leuvu River Valley in northwestern Patagonia above 1037 m. A mitochondrial DNA gene tree analysis found this new species as the sister taxon of Liolaemus smaug.

A New Species

The northwest corner of Yunnan Province, China is the world-class diversity centre of the genus Aporia Hübner, 1819 (Lepidoptera: Pieridae). During our expeditions to this area in 2019 and 2020, a new species of Aporia was discovered from the upper Yangtze River valley in northwest Yunnan, China. The new taxon, A. chunhaoi sp. nov., is similar to A. lhamo (Oberthür, 1893) but can be easily identified by larger size, much paler (creamy) male hindwing, as well as different genitalic structures. Our field surveys and comparative studies also confirmed a new range of A. lhamo in the upper Yangtze River valley, and the morphological variation of this species is discussed herein.

A New Species

A new species of Phallangothelphusa Pretzmann, 1965, is described from the foothills of the Serranía Yariguíes, Santander Department, Magdalena river basin, Colombia. The number of the species increases to five: P. dispar (Zimmer, 1912), P. magdalenensis Campos, 1998, P. juansei Campos, 2010, P. martensis Cardona & Campos, 2012, and P. tangerina n. sp. The new species is distinguished from its congeners mainly by the morphology of the first male gonopod, particularly by the shapes of the mesial and lateral processes, and the surface and outline form of the apex.

A new species endemic to South Africa, Drimia edwardsii, is described and illustrated, with data provided on its morphology, ecology and distribution. The species appears to be closely related to Drimia delagoensis and Urginea lydenburgensis, and whereas all are synanthous and produce small, pale-brownish campanulate flowers, several leaf and bulb features clearly distinguish the new species.

A New Species

A new species Asproparthenis omeri sp. nov. closely related to A. vexata (Gyllenhal, 1834) is described in the tribe Cleonini (Curculionidae) from the Aras River valley in Northeastern Turkey. The new species is the first representative of the genus Asproparthenis Gozis, 1886 with vestigial hind wings. Digital photographs of diagnostic morphological features of the new species and A. vexata are provided. Adults of the new species feed on leaves of a halophilic chenopod Bassia hirsuta (L.) Ascherson that dominates vegetation in the saline and desertified habitat in the type locality. Key words: Asproparthenis, new species, taxonomy, bionomics, halophyte, Bassia hirsuta, Turkey
