Eremanthus praetermissus and E. ovatifolius, two new species from Brazil, are here described and illustrated. Eremanthus praetermissus is endemic to Serra do Mar, in the northeastern part of São Paulo state and the southern part of Rio de Janeiro state; it is characterized by hemispherical, brown syncephalia, heads connate for 1/3 to 2/5 of their length, with 3–4 florets per head and brown phyllaries with purple apices. Eremanthus ovatifolius is endemic to campos rupestres of Pico da Aliança, in the eastern part of Minas Gerais state, and is characterized by ovate leaves, hemispherical syncephalia, heads connate for 1/4 to 1/2 of their length and 3–4 florets per head. The affinities of these species are discussed. A key to all species of Eremanthus is provided.

Portulaca hirsutissima (Portulacaceae) is a succulent herb occurring in open fields, sandy or rocky soil of separate Brazilian areas. On the basis of the analyses of seeds and pollen grains macro- and micromorphology, a significative variation, which is related to the distribution pattern, was found. Two new species are here proposed, described and illustrated. Portulaca giuliettiae sp. nov. occurs in Eastern Brazil, from Paraiba to Rio de Janeiro and P. goiasensis sp. nov. is restricted to the Chapada dos Veadeiros, in Central Brazil. P. hirsutissima is now to be considered as a restricted species from Minas Gerais State. A lectotype for the name P. hirsutissima is designated from a specimen preserved at P.

One new genus and two new species of fossil frog crabs from the Eocene to Oligocene deposits of Washington State (USA) and Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) of the north-eastern Pacific are described, based upon several well- preserved specimens. The studied specimens are herein described as Amphoranina blandi n. gen., n. sp. and A. multispinata n. gen, n. sp. (Raninidae De Haan, 1839) respectively. Amphoranina n. gen. appears to be endemic to the middle to upper Paleogene of the northeastern Pacific.

Until recently only one species of this genus was recognized in North America–Menopsimus caducus Dyar. In a paper of 1919, Synonymical Notes Relating to Menopsimus caducus Dyar (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., Vol. 51, No. 2, p. 74), Mr. J. G. Franclemont estabiished that caducus and fractilinea Sm. represent two distinct species, congeneric with the European one known as Tholomyges turfosalis Wocke, and showed that both Tholomyges Lederer and Menopsimus Dyar fall to Hypenodes Doubleday. Since that time, three more unnamed species have been found, bringing the total for North America to five. All of these, as far as is known, are restricted to the north-eastern region.

A New Species

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.
