Two New Species

We describe two novel diminutive species of Calamus, C. carsicola and C. warayanus, from the islands of Samar and Siargao, Philippines. Despite their respective similarities with the more variable and widely-distributed C. discolor and C. microsphaerion, both new taxa are distinctive by a suite of unique morphological character combinations. These new rattans are both characterized by their very slender clustering habit and are apparently restricted to forests over limestone. Relevant taxonomic notes and preliminary IUCN conservation status are herein provided.

Iucn Criteria

Two new species of Ixora are described from the provinces of Palawan and Samar, Philippines: I. alejandroi and I. reynaldoi. The two new species are compared mostly with other species of the genus from the Philippines and neighbouring Asian countries. Ixora alejandroi is characterized by its elongated cyme with congested secondary axes, reddish-brown corolla, stigmatic lobes shortly cleft in the middle, round at tip; while I. reynaldoi is easily recognised by its pseudanthium-type, 9–15 flowered inflorescences, long bracteoles (3.5–8 mm long), and keeled, foliaceous calyx lobes (8–10 mm long). The conservation status of each species is proposed, using IUCN Criteria.

Avicularia diversipes (C. L. Koch 1842) known previously only from its original description is redescribed along with Avicularia sooretama sp. nov. and Avicularia gamba sp. nov. The three species are endemic to Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. With other Avicularia species, they share a procurved anterior eye row, slender embolus and medially folded spermathecae, whereas they have unusual characters, such as a very long and spiraled embolus (A. diversipes) and spermathecae with multilobular apex (A. sooretama sp. nov.). Furthermore, the three species lack a tibial apophysis in males and share a distinctive color pattern ontogeny that is not known in any other Avicularia species. The conservation status of the three species is discussed, especially with respect to endemism, illegal trafficking and habitat destruction. The creation of protected areas in southern State of Bahia, Brazil, is recommended, as well as the inclusion of these species in IUCN and CITES lists. Appendices with figures and species information are presented to facilitate correct specimen identification by custom officers, in order to limit illegal traffic.

Abstract. Maknoi C, Saensouk S, Saensouk P, Rakarcha S, Thammarong W. 2021. Two new species of Curcuma L. (Zingiberaceae) from Thailand. Biodiversitas 22: 3910-3921. Curcuma aruna and C. pitukii, two new species from northern Thailand, are described, illustrated, and photographed. They are endemic to Sukhothai and Lampang Provinces, northern Thailand, and the morphological characteristics of two new species are compared with their closest species, C. flaviflora, C. eburnea, and C. pierreana. Two new species, C. aruna and C. pitukii are assignable to Curcuma subgenus Ecomata. C. aruna is recognized by leaves ovate with thin chartaceous, fertile bracts 6–12, it’s glabrous on nearly all parts of the plant, flowers yellow and labellum yellow with 2 darker yellow bands in the center. C. pitukii is recognized by bracts 20–40 with purplish white to purple, corolla lobes purplish white to pale purple, staminodes white, and labellum white with an embossed yellow path along the midrib from base to apex. A detailed description, distribution, ecology, etymology, preliminary conservation status, and photographs of two new species are provided. A key to 20 species of Curcuma subgenus Ecomata in Thailand is presented.
