The new species Salacia frutiplatensis is described and illustrated herein. This new taxon is part of the arboreal strata of the coastal sand dunes scrub of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico, where it is considered endemic. Salacia frutiplatensis is similar to S. elliptica, S. cordata, and S. impressifolia, but differs from these in the shape and diameter of the extra-staminal disk, pericarp thickness, greater number of seeds, and not displaying the lianous habit.

A New Species

A new species of Ophthalmoblysis Scoble, 1995 from Mexico is described and illustrated: O. ibarrai Garzón-Orduña, sp.n. The species is known only from Los Tuxtlas (Veracruz, Mexico), and is distinguished by the shape and pattern of the hindwing eyespot. Unlike the eyespot of other species in Ophthalmoblysis, that of O. ibarrai has a smaller and not fully circular inner black disc. In addition, O. ibarrai can be distinguished from a similar, undescribed species from Costa Rica by the presence of a sclerotized extension at the tip of the male valva and by the shape of the cornutus in the vesica. Ophthalmoblysis ibarrai represents the northernmost member of the genus.

A New Species

The genus Monstera is represented in Mexico by nine species, of which five are reported for the region of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. During fieldwork between 2014 and 2019 in Los Tuxtlas, we discovered a previously undescribed species belonging to Sect. Marcgraviopsis and consisting of a third species from Mexico with a pendent habit. The new species Monstera guzmanjacobiae, is described taxonomically and illustrated, using color photographs of vegetative and reproductive features in living material. The behavior of flowering coincides with that observed in other species of Monstera. Both nitidulid beetles and drosophilid flies found inside the chamber may be the pollinators of M. guzmanjacobiae.

A New Species

The genus Galumnopsis (Galumnellidae) is recorded for the first time from Mexico with a new species described here, and Notogalumna (Galumnidae), represents a second record for the country, also with a new species; both from the tropical rainforest in Veracruz state. Notogalumna rickiglesiasi sp. nov. lives in the canopy, while Galumnopsis andydoreyae sp. nov. inhabits soil and litter of Guarea glabra and Astrocaryum mexicanum; most likely they are not only restricted to these plants but are distributed in this forest on a continuous stratum across canopy (Notogalumna) or soil (Galumnopsis). A key for the species of each genus is included.

A New Species

A new species, from the montane region of Los Tuxtlas (state of Veracruz, Mexico), Ceratozamia subroseophylla, is proposed in accordance with the integrative taxonomy framework and through application of the taxonomic circle rationale. Our identification of this new species is the result of a thorough re-evaluation of four formerly described Ceratozamia species, namely: (1) C. miqueliana, with which it overlaps geographically; (2) C. mexicana; (3) C. robusta, which has also been previously seen as morphologically similar to C. miqueliana; and (4) C. brevifrons, which was at the center of a controversy concerning the morphological and geographic limits when compared to C. mexicana. Even though there are morphometric affinities of C. subroseophylla with this set of species, there are apomorphies in qualitative morphological characters and diagnostic nucleotidic variants established through character-based DNA barcoding to allow the recognition of this new species. The implications that our integrative taxonomy-based assessment of systematic diversity in Ceratozamia species from Veracruz have for evaluating the overall taxonomic status of the genus are discussed.
