Eurytoma erythrinae Gates and Delvare, new species, is described and illustrated. This species was reared from fieldcollected galls on Erythrina spp. (Fabaceae) induced by Quadrastichus spp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), in Tanzania, Ghana, and South Africa. It is compared with very similar African species, Eurytoma radicicola Risbec. Afrotropical species classified in Eurytoma are reviewed and twenty-seven new combinations are proposed: Aximopsis acaciacola (Hedqvist) comb. n., A. caryedocida (Rasplus) comb. n., A. lamtoensis (Rasplus) comb. n., A. mateui (Hedqvist) comb. n., A. mimosarum (Rasplus) comb. n., A. obocki (Risbec) comb. n., A. oryzivora (Delvare) comb. n., A. saharensis (Hedqvist) comb. n., A. senegalensis (Risbec) comb. n., A. tropicana (Risbec) comb. n., Bruchophagus conapionis (Rasplus) comb. n., Fronsoma ellenbergeri (Risbec) comb. n., Gibsonoma amborasahae (Risbec) comb. n., G. aphloiae (Risbec) comb. n., G. bararakae (Risbec) comb. n., G. eugeniae (Risbec) comb. n., G. mandrakae (Risbec) comb. n., G. pauliani (Risbec) comb. n., G. plectroniae (Risbec) comb. n., G. tavolae (Risbec) comb. n., Philolema arachnovora (Hesse) comb. n., P. arnoldi (Waterston) comb. n., P. bambeyi (Risbec) comb. n., P. braconidis (Ferrière) comb. n., and P. syleptae (Ferri_re) comb. n., Phylloxeroxenus cressoni (Howard) comb. n., and Sycophila plectroniae (Risbec) comb. n. Lectotypes are designated for ten species: Eurytoma perineti Risbec, E. radicicola Risbec, E. toddaliae Risbec, Gibsonoma amborasahae (Risbec), G. aphloiae (Risbec), G. eugeniae (Risbec), G. mandrakae (Risbec), G. pauliani (Risbec), G. tavolae (Risbec), and P. bambeyi (Risbec). We also provide a checklist of Afrotropical species that are or were classified in Eurytoma and tabulate the known host/associations of these species with references.

Afromelampsalta n. gen. is described for African species currently assigned to the genera Melampsalta Kolenati, 1857. Cicadetta Kolenati, 1857 and Pauropsalta Goding & Froggatt, 1904, and the new species Afromelampsalta luteofasciata n. gen., n. sp. is described. Afromelampsalta aethiopica (Distant, 1905) n. comb., A. cadisia (Walker, 1850) n. comb. and A. leucoptera (Germar, 1830) n. comb. are reassigned from Melampsalta to Afromelampsalta n. gen., A. limitata (Walker, 1852) n. comb. is transferred from Cicadetta Kolenati, 1857 and A. mimica (Distant ,1907) n. comb. is transferred from Pauropsalta Goding & Froggatt, 1904 to Afromelampsalta n. gen. Notes on the biology of the new species, a description of the exuvia of A. mimica n. comb., and a key to the species of African Cicadettini are provided.

After examining the morphology, anatomy, pollen and cytology of the Australian species of Wurmbea and A nguillaria and comparing them with African species of Wurmbea I concluded that all are congeneric, despite carpel differences between African and Aus- tralian species, and should be called Wurmbea Thunberg. Descriptions, illustrations, distri- bution maps and a key are given for the 18 Australian species. New taxa are: W. dioica subsp. alba, W. dilatata, W. latifolia, W. humilis, W. odorata, W. inframediana, W. deser- ticola, W. centralis, W. sinora and W. cernua. New combinations are: W. monantha (Endl.) comb, nov., W. biglandulosa (R.Br.) comb, nov., W. uniflora (R.Br.) comb. nov. and W. densiflora (Benth.) comb. nov.

The seven Australasian genera of blister beetles (Coleoptera : Meloidae : Nemognathinae) are reviewed. Included are a key to genera, generic synopses and descriptions of two new genera of Nemognathini, Australozonitis and Pulchrazonitis, as well as a new monotypic tribe Palaestrini, which features a bauplan of male genitalia unique not only to the subfamily Nemognathinae but to the entire family. The genus Palaestra is redefined to include several Australasian, Asian and African species previously assigned to Zonitis. Exceptional variation of male genitalia encountered in the Palaestrini challenges current subfamily definitions, which are partly based on male genitalic structure and correlated sexual behaviour. Generic synopses include synonyms, type species, number of species, geographic distribution, significant references on taxonomy, life history and morphology, and additional notes. Forty-six new combinations are proposed for species previously in Zonitis. Distribution and relationship of tribes within the Nemognathinae, as well as the biogeography of the Australasian Meloidae are outlined and discussed.

This taxonomic revision of the continental African species of Monanthotaxis (Annonaceae) includes 79 species and one variety. Thirteen new species (M. aestuaria, M. bidaultii, M. confusa, M. glabra, M. hexamera, M. mcphersonii, M. quasilanceolata, M. sterilis, M. submontana, M. suffruticosa, M. ursus, M. vulcanica and M. wieringae) are described and 5 new combinations (M. biglandulosa, M. kenyensis, M. ochroleuca, M. pynaertii and M. seretii) are made. The genus Monanthotaxis consists of lianas or lianescent shrubs. It occurs throughout forests in tropical Africa and the highest species diversity is found in the Western Central African rain forests. A key for flowering material is provided, just like a synoptic key including 45 characters. Topics included in the revision are the history of the taxonomy of Monanthotaxis, morphology, leaf anatomy, floral biology, distribution and habitat, phylogeny and finally ethnobotany and phytochemistry. Each species is fully described including synonymy, notes on distribution, habitat & ecology, vernacular names, uses and a preliminary IUCN conservation status. Distribution maps are provided for all species, illustrations for 48 species and photographs of 22 species. An index of exsiccatae and an index of the scientific names are included at the end.

RESUMEN. Consideraciones sobre el género Jasonia (Compositae, Inuleae). Sistemática y usos. En este trabajo se estudia el género Jasonia en la Península Ibérica, en la que viven J. tuberosa y J. glutinosa. Además se aportan datos sobre las especies insulares mediterráneas y del norte de África. El género Chiliadenus se incluye razonadamente en la sinonimia de Jasonia. Se confirma la validez nomenclatural de J. glutinosa y se cita correctamente su basiónimo. Además se aportan datos nomenclaturales y morfológicos y se incluyen dos mapas de distribución de las especies. Se proponen dos nuevas combinaciones: J. bocconei y J. lopadusanus. Dada la importancia del té de roca (J. glutinosa) como planta medicinal de extendido uso popular en España, se detallan sus usos y la distribución de los mismos.Palabras clave. Jasonia, región Mediterránea, Península Ibérica, sistemática, nomenclatura, usos.ABSTRACT. Notes on the genus Jasonia (Compositae, Inuleae). Taxonomy and uses. This paper studies the genus Jasonia in the Iberian Peninsula, where both J. tuberosa and J. glutinosa live. Data of the other Mediterranean and North African species are given. After a taxonomic discussion, the genus Chiliadenus is considered as a synonymous of Jasonia. The nomenclatural validity of J. glutinosa is discussed and its correct basyonym is mentioned. Nomenclatural and morphological data, as well as distribution area maps are included: J. bocconei and J. lopadusanus. Two new combinations are proposed. Due to the relevance of “té de roca” (J. glutinosa) as a popular medicinal plant widely used in Spain, the uses and their distribution are given.Key words.

Within the framework of a taxonomic revision of Hyacinthaceae subfamily Ornithogaloideae, we present two new combinations in Eliokarmos for South African species, and five new combinations in Loncomelos for taxa occurring in Iran and Iraq. Details on the concerned types are given, and a new lectotype is designated.
