Three species belonging to Sterculiaceae, namely Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., Helicteres viscida Bl. and Sterculia urens Roxb. are recorded here for the first time for Bangladesh. Of these, the genus Guazuma is also a new generic record for the country. Updated nomenclature, important synonyms, description, ecology and geographical distribution are provided for each species.Keywords: Sterculiaceae; New records; Guazuma ulmifolia; Helicteres viscida; Sterculia urens; Bangladesh.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v18i2.9301Bangladesh J.

Don, Psychotria stipulacea Mail. and Psydrax umbellata (Wight) Bridson, of the family Rubiaceae in the flora of Bangladesh is reported for the first time. The Psydrax Gaertn. is also a new generic record for Bangladesh. These species are described along with their ecology, geographical distribution and places of occurrence in Bangladesh. Illustrations and photographs of these new records are also provided. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v41i1.11078 Bangladesh J. Bot. 41(1): 21-28, 2012 (June)

We report new records of the White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Brazil based on specimens deposited in scientific collections. These new records expand the known geographic distribution of the species in Brazil southwards in the states of Roraima and Amapá, the latter the first record of the species below the equator line in Brazil, and register it for the first time in the state of Amazonas. These records contribute to increase the knowledge of the geographical distribution of O. virginianus in Brazil and highlights the importance of museum collections as a source of biogeographic and ecological data.

We present the results of our investigation of feather mites (Astigmata) associated with non-passerine birds in Brazil. The studied birds were obtained from roadkills, airport accidents, and from capitivity. Most ectoparasites were collected from bird specimens by washing. A total of 51 non-passerine species from 20 families and 15 orders were examined. Of them, 24 species were assessed for feather mites for the first time. In addition, 10 host associations are recorded for the first time in Brazil. A total of 101 feather mite species were recorded, with 26 of them identified to the species level and 75 likely representing undescribed species; among the latter samples, five probably represent new genera. These records allowed the first inference about the host and mite association of many species, as well as the first discussion about the geographical distribution of some feather mite taxa along the host distribution.

During a plankton trip around Sebatik Island, North Kalimantan, a copepod Labidocera rotunda Mori, 1929 (Calanoida, Pontellidae) was collected for the first time in Indonesian waters. Both sexes are redescribed and compared to previous descriptions. The geographical distribution of the species confirms that it is of Indo-Pacific origin. There has been a mix-up between L. rotunda described by Mori (1929) from Pusan, Korea and L. bipinnata from Sagami Bay, described by Tanaka (1936). Fleminger et al. (1982) have argued that the minor difference is based on the presence or absence of cephalic hooks and had synonymized L. bipinnata with L. rotunda.

This study deals with exploration of freshwater desmids for the first time from Ropar wetland (Ramsar site) of Punjab (India) to assess their taxonomic aspects and bio-geographical distribution. During this study, samples of planktonic, epiphytic and epilithic desmids were collected from littoral zone and were observed under light microscope for their morphometric characteristics based identification. Total 21 desmids species belonging to 4 genera of 2 families (Closteriaceae and Desmidiaceae) were identified from the collected samples. Among them, Cosmarium with 11 species (C. awadhense, C. bioculatum, C. trilobatum, C. divergens, C. granatum, C. moniliforme, C. nitidulum, C. subtumidum, C. reniforme, C. undulatum and C. obtusatum) was found to be most abundant followed by Closterium with 7 species (C. acerosum, C. dianae, C. incurvum, C. leibleinii, C. lunula, C. pritchardianum and C. aciculare), Euastrum with 2 species (E. spinulosum and E. platycerum) and Staurastrum with 1 species (S. crenulatum). The geographic distribution of identified desmid taxa in India has been also recorded. All the desmid taxa identified during this study are new record for the Punjab state of India. The results of this study provide significant baseline data for the future taxonomic and ecological studies from the similar habitats.

This study presents 20 taxa of the genus Euglena and one species of the rare euglenoid genus Euglenocapsa. All these taxa are reported for the first time from some pond ecosystems of Mathbaria in Pirojpur and Bakerganj of Barisal districts of Bangladesh. Keywords: Phytoplankton, New records, Bangladesh, Euglena, Euglenocapsa, PondsDOI: 10.3329/bjpt.v15i1.910Bangladesh J.
