Land Planarian

Two new land planarian species, collected in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are described. Their external aspect is similar to that of Imbira marcusi Carbayo et al., 2013 and Pseudogeoplana theresopolitana (Schirch, 1929), respectively. The analysis of the internal organs, however, revealed they belong to the genus Cratera. The male copulatory organs of one species is very different from any other geoplaninid, for the penis papilla holds a large, distal cavity receiving the ejaculatory duct and, furthermore, the papilla projects vertically downwards from the roof of the male atrium. Thus we consider it as a new species, Cratera cuarassu sp. nov. The second species differs from its congeners in that the dorsal insertion of the penis papilla is anterior to the ventral one, and in that the female atrium is narrowed in the anterior portion. The species was found in the type locality of Pseudogeoplana theresopolitana (Schirch, 1929) and compares well with it in the external features. However, since its internal organs are unknown and the type material of the species is seemingly lost, we describe it as Cratera anamariae Carbayo, sp. nov.

Taxonomic History

In the eighteenth century, José Mariano da Conceição Vellozo in his work Flora Fluminensis, sought to expand the floristic knowledge of Rio de Janeiro and surroundings. This was the first flora of Brazil written and edited by a native naturalist. However, the existence and location of the type material of species described in this work are not known. Furthermore, the protologues associated with the plates of some taxa are not descriptive enough. The nomenclatural revision of the two Vriesea species (basionym: Tillandsia) currently accepted, described in Vellozo’s Flora Fluminensis are presented here. Two epitypes, a new synonym and two excluded names are proposed. In addition, a brief taxonomic history, nomenclatural and taxonomic notes are presented.

A New Species

Lauromacromia picinguaba sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on a series composed by a male and four females from Picinguaba, Ubatuba, S o Paulo state, Brazil, all obtained from reared larvae. The type material is deposited in the Museu Nacional and the Instituto de Biologia, UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro. This is the first description of a female and the southernmost record for the genus. A key to the genera of Corduliidae occurring in Brazil is appended.

Taxonomic Problem

After more than two and half centuries regarding the identity of Rana margaritifera Laurenti, 1768, Lavilla et al. (2013) designated a neotype for the species. The authors did an extensive search to locate the type material of Laurenti (1768) and failed in finding the specimen in question. Consequently, they selected an adult female collected in the Municipality of Humaitá, State of Amazonas, Brazil, on 12 April 1985 and deposited in the Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, MNRJ 71538. This action, was carried out to solve a specific taxonomic problem in Neotropical amphibian systematics, i.e., the type specimen considered lost and the type locality uncertain. However, this action proved to be erroneous, since the type specimen is not lost.

Two New Species

The Neotropical subgenus Platysaprinus Bickhardt, 1916 of the genus Euspilotus Lewis, 1907 is revised, keyed and figured. Saprinus myrmecophilus Bickhardt, 1910, is newly transferred into genus Euspilotus Lewis, 1907, subgenus Platysaprinus Bickhardt, 1916. Euspilotus (Platysaprinus) carinipennis (Desbordes, 1924), is newly synonymized with Euspilotus (Platysaprinus) myrmecophilus (Bickhardt, 1910) syn. nov., based on examination of the type material. Two new species: Euspilotus (Platysaprinus) ferreri sp. nov. from Brazil (Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso and Rio de Janeiro) and Euspilotus (Platysaprinus) vazdemelloi sp. nov. from Brazil (Mato Grosso) are described. Euspilotus (Platysaprinus) latimanus (Schmidt, 1890) is newly reported from Argentina (Misiones), Paraguay (Amambay) and Bolivia. Lectotypes and paralectotypes of Saprinus latimanus Schmidt, 1890 are designated.

A New Species

Clinodiplosis cecropiae Proença & Maia a new species of Cecidomyiidae (Insecta: Diptera) is described and illustrated herein (larva, pupal exuviae, male and female). Samples of gall and host plant were collected in Amazon Rainforest areas, in Monte Negro municipality, Rondônia state, Brazil. The galler was obtained by rearing in laboratory. The specimens were mounted on microscope slides. The type material is deposited in the Cecidomyiidae collection of Museu Nacional/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. The new species induces globoid galls on stems of Cecropia sp. (Urticaceae). This is the first record of a Clinodiplosis species inducing galls on Urticaceae plants.
