A New Species

A new species of Syzygium (Myrtaceae), S. komatiense, is described from the Komatipoort area of Mpumalanga, South Africa. This species is endemic to the Komati River system on the South Africa-Mozambique border and differs from any other species in the region by its combination of terete branchlets, petiole length, often asymmetric or oblique leaf base, few-flowered inflorescence, persistent bracts and bracteoles and pseudostalk absent. Syzygium komatiense is known only from the Komati River and merits the conservation status of Critically Endangered (CR C2a(i, ii); D).

General Appearance

I have received from South Africa specimens of blood taken from cattle which contain a new species of Trypanosoma. This new species can be at once distinguished from the Trypanosomas of Surra, Tse-tse Fly Disease, or Rat by its larger size, it being almost twice as large as any of the others. In general appearance it conforms closely to the others in possessing an oval protoplasmic body, a longitudinal fin-like membrane, and a single flagellum.

A New Species

Callogobius winterbottomi new species is described from the 33.8 mm SL holotype and two paratypes (32.2 mm SL and 22.9 mm SL) from the Comoros, Western Indian Ocean. It is distinguished from all other known Callogobius species by the following combination of characters: sensory pores absent, 23–26 scales in lateral series, and sensory papillae pre-opercular row not continuous with transverse opercular row. One additional specimen of Callogobius winterbottomi was located from South Africa. A new standardized naming system for Callogobius sensory papillae rows is presented for identification and clarification of character states among Callogobius species. The new species is tentatively placed among what we term the “sclateri group”, a clade including C. sclateri (Steindachner) and three other species that exhibit a modified female urogenital papilla with lateral distal flaps and elongate ctenii on the caudal peduncle scales. Callogobius tutuilae (Jordan & Seale) is removed from synonymy with C. sclateri because it has partially united pelvic fins (vs separate) and the preopercular sensory papillae row is continuous with the transverse opercular row (vs separate).
