Ceropegia jinshaensis D.T.Liu & Z.K.Wu (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae), a new species from northwestern Yunnan along the upper Yangtze river of China, is described and illustrated. This species is similar to C. meleagris H. Huber, C. dorjei C. E. C. Fischer and C. aridicola W. W. Smith, but can be distinguished easily by its leaf shape and floral features, especially the corolla shape and size, the interior of corolla tube and coronal characters.

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.

Verbascum seydisehirense (Scrophulariaceae), endemic to the Konya region of Central Anatolia, is described as new species based on the plant’s morphological features. The new species is morphologically similar to Verbascum phrygium, but it differs from it for basal leaf shape, calyx size, corolla size, corolla indumentum and glands, and capsule shape and size. In this study, a detailed description, illustration, distribution map, conservation status and ecology of the new species are provided. Additionally, the study looks in detail at pollen grains and seed coat ornamentation of Verbascum seydisehirense and includes SEM micrographs.

Memecylon wayanadense Ratheesh, Sivu & Pradeep, a new species of Melastomataceae from the Wayanad forests of Kerala, India, is described and illustrated. The new species is allied to Memecylon angustifolium, M. rivulare and M. sivadasanii but differs in habit, leaf shape, sclereid type, inflorescence type and position, and the shape and size of the sepals and petals. An UPGMA analysis of 20 RAPD primers resulted in two major clusters with Memecylon sivadasanii in one cluster and M. rivulare, M. angustifolium and M. wayanadense in the second cluster. Memecylon wayanadense forms a subgroup within the second cluster.

A new species of Diplodiscus is described and illustrated from one collection made in lowland mixed dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysia. Conspicuous by its twig colour, leaf shape and indumentum, it is probably allied to D. longifolius, but differs in sufficient characters (shape, indumentum, apex and venation of blade, flower bud shape and size, petal diameter, ovary shape and fruit shape and size) to be a species in its own right. A key to the species of Diplodiscus in Malaysia also is provided.

A new species of the genus Senecio (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) belonging to S. ser. Suffruticosi subser. Caespitosi is described from the pumices of the Ticsani Volcano, central-eastern part of the Moquegua Department in southern Peru. The new species differs from S. moqueguensis by its longer indumentum, different leaf shape and size, wider involucres, narrower calycular bracts, a greater number of phyllaries per capitula, and shorter pappus. A table with the morphological comparison with other species of Senecio is provided and the conservation status of the new species is assessed.

Two new species of the sisorid catfish genus Euchiloglanis are described from the upper Yangtze River and the upper Black River drainage (Red River basin) in China. Euchiloglanis longibarbatus n. sp. from the upper Yangtze River differs from E. davidi, E. kishinouyei and E. longus n. sp. by having an elongate and threadlike maxillary barbel with a pointed tip reaching posteriorly to beyond the gill opening. It differs from E. dorsoarcus by having the anal-fin origin closer to the caudal-fin base than to the pelvic-fin origin, and from E. phongthoensis by having the anus located midway between the pelvic-fin insertion and the anal-fin origin. Euchiloglanis longus n. sp. from the upper Black River drainage differs from E. davidi by having the length of the pectoral fin equal to 78.4–89.5% of the distance between the origins of the pectoral and pelvic fins, and from E. kishinouyei and E. longibarbatus n. sp. by having the distance between the origins of the pelvic and anal fins equal to 108.9–140.6% of the distance between the origins of the pectoral and pelvic fins. It further differs from E. davidi, E. kishinouyei, and E. longibarbatus n. sp. by having the depth of the caudal peduncle equal to 14.1–27.0% of the length of the caudal peduncle. It differs from E. dorsoarcus by having the anal-fin origin closer to the caudal-fin base than to the pelvic-fin origin, and from E. phongthoensis by having the distance from the adipose-fin origin to the dorsal-fin insertion equal to about 50% of the adipose-fin base length. Euchiloglanis davidi and E. kishinouyei are redescribed from recently collected specimens from their type localities. A lectotype is designated for E. davidi and a neotype designated for E. kishinouyei. Euchiloglanis kishinouyei is distinguished from E. davidi by lacking an indentation in the premaxillary tooth band, by having the length of the pectoral fin equal to 75.5–89.6% of the distance between the insertions of the pectoral and pelvic fins, and by having the distance between the insertion of the pelvic-fin and the anus equal to 81.5–97.5% of the distance between the insertions of the pectoral and pelvic fins. A key to the species of is Euchiloglanis also provided.
