A New Species

Revision of the genus Passerina L. indicated a new delimitation of taxonomic entities within the Passerina filiformis L. complex. Evidence from leaf anatomy greatly assisted in the recognition of taxa.  P. filiformis is here divided into two sub­species. namely P. filiformis subsp.  filiformis and P. filiformis subsp. glutinosa (Thoday) Bredenkamp A.E.van Wyk. and a new species. P. montivagus Bredenkamp A.E.van Wyk, which is also described. The new taxa are geographically separated: subsp. filiformis ranges from Piquetberg in the north through the Cape Peninsula in the south, where it is quite com­mon. to Attaquaskloof in the southwestern Cape: subsp. glutinosa occurs along the coast between Vredendal and St Helena Bay; and  P. montivagus has a wide distribution from Mossel Bay and Oudtshoom in the south through Eastern Cape and along the Great Escarpment northwards to Zimbabwe, with outliers in Tanzania.

AbstractA new species of small treefrog, related to Hyla branneri (here considered a full species), H. decipiens, and H. oliveirai, is described. The new species is known from the south of Bahia State to the north of Espirito Santo State in eastern Brazil. The new species is characterized by small size, snout mucronate or rounded in dorsal view and nearly truncate in profile, canthus rostralis evident, and large head. In most specimens, the color patterns show a light triangular mark on the head and light lateral stripes.

A new species of the previously monotypic bufonid genus Frostius is described from Atlantic Rain Forest fragments in the southern region of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The new species is distinguished from F. pernambucensis by life colors of body and iris, length and width of digits, development of apical discs, and size and shape of tympanum. New locality records extend the distribution of the genus 105 km to the north (to the State of Paraíba), and 190 km to the south (southern region of the State of Bahia).

A New Species

In the Neotropical Region, Orphninae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are represented by the endemic tribe Aegidiini, which comprises five genera and 49 species (Paulian 1948; Colby 2009; Frolov & Vaz-de-Mello 2015; Frolov et al. 2017a, 2017b, 2017c, 2019). Aegidium Westwood is the largest genus of the tribe and it comprises 24 valid species known from the southern Mexico in the north to Central Bolivia in the south (Frolov et al. 2015; Rojkoff & Frolov 2017; Frolov & Akhmetova 2020).

Abstract. Three species of Cornucoquimba Ohmert, 1968 are known from the Brazilian shelf: C. decorata, and C. nana in the north and northeast, and C. conulata in the south. An analysis of 339 samples collected between the international boundary at the Oiapoque river (Amapá State) and Cape São Roque (Rio Grande do Norte State), a distance of almost 1400 km, has discovered a new species of this genus, C. ramosae sp. nov. It is restricted to the equatorial shelf and prefers biodetrital sand, from 15 to 67 m water depth.

A New Species

Hagenia abyssinica J.F. Gmel. (Rosaceae) is an Afromontane endemic, whose range extends from Ethiopia in the north to Zimbabwe and Mozambique in the south. This thick-stemmed but low-growing tree is restricted to East African high mountains, and is one of the dominants of upper montane forests, often making up the timberline. In this paper 17 aphyllophoroid basidiomycetes are reported on Hagenia from Tanzania. Trees which have been partly debarked by elephants are often troubled by Hymenochaete ochromarginata Talbot. A new species, Hyphodontia submucronata Hjortstam & Renvall is described. Dendrothele griseocana (Bres.) Bourdot & Galzin is reported for the first time from Africa.

A New Species

A new species of the caridean shrimp genus Lysmata Risso, 1816 is described from St. Helena and Ascension Island in the south-central Atlantic. Lysmata napoleoni sp. nov. is part of the so-called “long-branch group” of the genus and shows a strong morphological similarity with the eastern Atlantic L. seticaudata Risso, 1816, from which it can be distinguished by details of the accessory branch of the antennular flagellum. The new species also displays a unique and bright colour pattern and therefore can be easily recognised in the field. Furthermore, it is typically found in proximity of sea anemones, Telmatactis cricoides (Duchassaing), and appears to be an occasional fish cleaner.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Mesomeloe (Meloidae) is described from Qatar on the north-eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Mesomeloe ottomerkli sp. nov., which is currently only known from the type locality, was previously identified as Meloe (Mesomeloe) coelatus. Both the morphological and molecular variability of M. coelatus across its wide distribution range are studied to determine the level of congruence between the morphological and genetic differentiation of M. coelatus and the new species. Mesomeloe ottomerkli is distinguishable from all other congeneric species in various traits: it presents a body tegument and appendages that are black in colour and shiny in appearance; an elytral surface absent of impressed longitudinal shallow ridges; a pronotal surface absent of depressed areas and longitudinal midline; and a pronotal base that is slightly arcuate. In addition, males of M. ottomerkli have antennae that gradually widen towards the apex; protarsomeres with a brush patch of yellowish setae on the ventral surface of the first two segments; genitalia in which the gonostyli, in lateral view, become slenderer towards the apex and an aedeagus that is relatively wide and rounded in the distal portion. The distribution records of M. coelatus are also updated and summarized.

A New Species

This study describes a new species of carnivorous sponge (Family Cladorhizidae) collected in Patagonia, SW Atlantic, off Argentinean waters and the North of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). The species described here, belongs to the genus Abyssocladia and was collected by dredging and trawling during IEO (Spanish Institute of Oceanography) cruises in the South West Atlantic Ocean from 2007 to 2010 under the Atlantis Project. Abyssocladia vaceleti sp. nov. is characterised by the possession of a long peduncle and flat body with bilaterally symmetrical and apical filaments with a skeleton of tornotes (often polytylotes), styles, abyssochelae, arcuate chelae, sigmancistras and acanthotylostrongyles. This species lives at depths of 901–1547 m.

A New Species

We present novelties in Thismiaceae for the south of the Brazilian Amazon, resulting from botanical expeditions in the north of the Mato Grosso State. The occurrence of four species is recorded: Thismia hyalina; T. melanomitra; T. singeri and a species new to science: T. ribeiroi. These are the first records of the family Thismiaceae, as well as of the genus Thismia and these species for the Mato Grosso State. Thismia melanomitra is a new species for the flora of Brazil and T. singeri is the second record of the species for Brazil. In this study, we also describe and illustrate the new species Thismia ribeiroi.
