Here we add a new state record for Cercosaura olivacea in northeastern Brazil and new areas of occurrence in the state of Pernambuco and Sergipe, including the first record of this species in the Caatinga ecoregion. The new records fill a gap of more than 600 km in the distribution of this species on the east coast of Brazil and expand the geographical distribution of the species by 280 km north and 180 km south of the nearest recorded areas of occurrence.

Exotic Invasive

This study provides the first record of the exotic invasive bivalve Isognomon bicolor for the State of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil. It has been found to occur in at least twelve coastal reefs along the coast. We also present its first record for the State of Alagoas and new record localities for the States of Rio Grande do Norte and Pernambuco, including its occurrence in hypersaline estuaries. From these records the distribution range of I. bicolor has been expanded to the littoral region of Northeast Brazil, where this invasive species seems well established.

In July 2016, an important regional checklist entitled “Decapod crustaceans from the state of Ceará, northeastern Brazil: an updated checklist of marine and estuarine species, with 23 new records” was published in the journal Zootaxa (Pachelle et al. 2016). A few days after publication of this monograph, two of our colleagues specialised in the taxonomy of ghost and mud shrimps (Axiidea and Gebiidea), Dr Mônica Botter-Carvalho (UFRPE) and Dr Peter C. Dworschak (NHMW), informed us that the material reported under Neocallichirus maryae Karasawa, 2004 appeared to contain more than one species. Their comments were based on examination of colour photographs showing several specimens identified as N. maryae in Pachelle et al. (2016)’s figure 21. This prompted a re-examination of the material from Ceará identified as N. maryae, including all specimens reported by Pachelle et al. (2016). Despite the fact that most of them were correctly identified as N. maryae, two individuals (MZUSP 32610, 32615) were re-identified as Sergio guassutinga (Rodrigues, 1971) [as indeed suggested by M. Botter-Carvalho and P.C. Dworschak] and Neocallichirus cacahuate Felder & Manning, 1995, respectively. The former species is a new record for the state of Ceará, whilst the latter species represents a new record not only for Ceará, but also for Brazil and the southwestern Atlantic.

Potimirim potimirim (Müller, 1881), a species of coastal freshwater shrimp, is recorded for the first time from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern of Brazil, where it was collected in a small tributary of the Potengi River. This record extends the distribution of this species about 220 km north along Brazilian coast. New records, such as this, reinforce the need for greater research efforts in the northeastern freshwater ecosystems of Brazil to provide better understand the region’s biodiversity and establish better parameters for conservation actions.

The known geographical distribution of 12 bryophyte species is extended by confirmation of their presence in the state of Pernambuco. Leptoscyphus porphyrius (Nees) Grolle, Harpalejeunea uncinata Steph., Chryso-hypnum diminutivum (Hampe) Buck and Porotrichum korthalsianum (Dozy & Molk.) Mitt. are new to northeastern Brazil. The material studied was collected in remnants of Atlantic Forest situated at altitudes of 100-1.100m. The principal taxonomic characteristics are cited, with ecological and distributional commentary provided.

This work reports this species in an Atlantic rainforest fragment north of the São Francisco River, the Coimbra forest, in the state of Alagoas. The new record expands the geographical distribution of H. exastis approximately 70 km to the northeast.

New Findings

We present new records of the Spot-legged Turtle (Rhinoclemmys punctularia) for the states of Pará and Tocantins, Brazil. These records increase the known geographical distribution of R. punctularia ca. 500 km southward, reaching the southeastern extreme of the Amazon biome. The Tocantins records are from Amazon rainforests habitats as in most of the known range of the species. These new findings highlight the importance of future investigations in order to better understand the distribution of R. punctularia in the South Amazon Basin and ecotones areas.

The Family

The Family Molossidae has a cosmopolitan distribution; it is common in urban areas as well as in agricultural and forested environments. In Brazil, the group comprises seven genera with 25 species. In spite of the representative number of taxa, Molossidae is insufficiently documented in biological inventories. Thus, there is a gap in knowledge about the actual distribution of most species. Here we present new records of tow molossids, Cynomops planirostris and Neoplatymops mattogrossensis, for the state of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil, and review locality records for species throughout the Brazilian territory.
