Complete Account

A complete account with full descriptions is given of the Australian species of Symplocos. Keys to all accepted taxa are provided. The following new taxa are described: Symplocos hylandii Nooteboom and S. cochinchinensis vars glaberrima Nooteboom and pilosiuscula Nooteboom. A new combination is S. cochinchinensis var. candelabrum (Brand) Nooteboom for a taxon endemic to Lord Howe Island.

First Time

A cytotaxonomic survey of the ferns and fern allies of Australia (including Lord Howe Island) is presented. Five-hundred-and-twenty-six chromosome counts of 268 Australian species, subspecies, varieties, variants and hybrids are recorded, only a small number having been previously investigated by other botanists on Australian material. Diploids represent c. 62% of the counts on species and c. 38% on polyploids, the latter ranging principally from triploids to a single decaploid and dodecaploid (but no heptaploids). More than one ploidy level has been reported in 19 taxa (almost 8% of taxa). Counts of 10x for Asplenium aethiopicum and 12x for A.�flabellifolium are the highest definite ploidy levels for the Australian pteridophyte flora. Chromosome counts for 29 families and 89 genera are cited. Only diploids were reported for Osmundaceae and Cyatheaceae, but only polyploids for the Psilotaceae, Vittariaceae and Ophioglossaceae. An analysis is given of the levels of ploidy in 248 taxa, excluding the Lycopodiaceae and Hymenophyllaceae. The percentages of diploids and polyploids in Australian species are compared with those of nearby countries. Many species reported on here have never been cytologically investigated before, while others have not been studied previously on Australian material. The following genera have been examined cytologically for the first time: Coveniella Tindale, n = 41; Paraceterach (F.Muell.) Copel., n = 29; 'Oenotrichia Copel.', 2n = 82 (2x); Revwattsia (Watts) D.L.Jones, 2n = c. 328 (8x); and Pteridoblechnum Hennipman (2n = 54). The phylogeny of the genera is discussed in the light of these findings. Certain families such as the Adiantaceae, Cyatheaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, Lindsaeaceae and Marsileaceae were given special attention by collecting as much living material as possible. A number of species-complexes has been found and further chromosome counts added to intercontinental species complexes. The Döpp-Manton and Braithwaite forms of reproductive apomixis have been reported amongst some genera. Endemism, hybridity and apogamy amongst Australian pteridophytes are discussed, as well as homosporous and heterosporous species. The new combination Phymatosorus membranifolius (R.Br.) Tindale is made.

The genus Xylaplothrips is re-diagnosed, 11 species are listed as appropriately included in this genus of which three are new combinations from Haplothrips (X. acaciae; X. collyerae; X. gahniae). A further six species are listed as incertae sedis within Xylaplothrips and a key is provided to the four species of this genus known from Australia including X. anarsius sp.n. The genus Mesandrothrips is recalled from synonymy with Xylaplothrips, and a list is provided of 20 appropriately included species of which 14 are new combinations from Xylaplothrips (M. caliginosus; M. clavipes; M. darci; M. dubius; M. emineus; M. flavitibia; M. flavus; M. inquilinus; M. montanus; M. pictipes; M. pusillus; M. reedi; M. subterraneus; M. tener), and one is a new combination from Haplothrips (M. inquinatus). A key is provided to 10 species of this genus known from Australia, including three species transferred from Haplothrips, together with M. austrosteensia sp.n., M. googongi sp.n., M. kurandae sp.n., M. lamingtoni sp.n. and M. oleariae sp.n. The type species, M. inquilinus, is widespread across Southeast Asia as an invader of thrips galls, and Haplothrips darci Girault based on a single female from Queensland is considered closely related.

Genetic Species

The DNA barcode (COI-5P) was used to investigate cryptic diversity among Rhodymenia spp. in southern Australia. Whereas eight species are currently recognized, we uncovered ca. 20 genetic species groups, phylogenetically assigned to four genera in two families. Procumbent specimens with molecular and anatomical signatures of the Fryeellaceae are assigned to Pseudohalopeltis tasmanensis gen. et sp. nov. Collections from Lord Howe Island recorded in the field as Rhodymenia / Fauchea sp. are assigned to the poorly known genus Microphyllum as Microphyllum robustum sp. nov. A cluster of species with distinct molecular and anatomical attributes is included in a resurrected Halopeltis J.G. Agardh, including Halopeltis australis (J. Agardh) comb. nov. (type species); Halopeltis austrina (Womersley) comb. nov.; Halopeltis cuneata (Harvey) comb. nov. [including Rhodymenia halymenioides (J. Agardh) Womersley]; Halopeltis gracilis sp. nov.; Halopeltis prostrata sp. nov.; and Halopeltis verrucosa (Womersley) comb. nov. Four additional species of Halopeltis from Lord Howe Island (LH1, LH2), Tasmania (TAS), and Western Australia are not characterized further. For Rhodymenia sensu stricto, similar levels of cryptic diversity were noted. Samples tentatively field-identified as “ Rhodymenia sonderi ,” but having affiliations to Rhodymenia rather than Halopeltis, are referred to Rhodymenia novahollandica sp. nov. Collections field-identified as R. obtusa are genetically distinct from that species and are assigned to Rhodymenia wilsonis (Sonder) comb. nov. Two highly divergent species currently identified as Rhodymenia leptophylla (LH from Lord Howe Island; TAS from Tasmania), as well as two additional cryptic previously unnamed taxa from South Australia (SA) and Victoria (VIC), are not characterized further.

Two New Species

Recent survey work for planthoppers at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica found two new species allied with Cenchrea Westwood. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S were sequenced for the new taxa and used these data to assess the genus-level standing of the new taxa. The new taxa do not cluster with Cenchrea dorsalis Westwood, the type species of Cenchrea. A new genus Tico gen. n. described for the reception of new species described as Tico emmettcarri sp. n. (the type species) and Tico pseudosororius sp. n. Cenchrea sororia Fennah is moved to Tico gen. n., to form the new combination Tico sororius (Fennah). Tico gen. n. is compared with allied genera, and review genus-level diagnostic features and the species composition of Cenchrea, which appears to be compositionally heterogenous, but additional data is needed to evaluate genus-level placement of most species.

Two New Species

Since the phylogenetic analysis of the Herrichella clade (Ochlerini) new genera were described to fit monophyletic groups inferred and considered to be new taxa. The clade I supported by two synapomorphies of the female genitalia, grouped Alitocoris brunneus Sailer together to two new species. Alloeogyna gen. nov. is described here for this clade including the two new species Alloeogyna ampla sp. nov. and Alloeogyna poecila sp. nov. and a new combination is proposed for Alloeogyna brunnea comb. nov.. Also, Alitocoris maculosus Sailer recovered within the clade E in the Herrichella clade is here redescribed in the monotypic Sailerus gen. nov. resulting in the new combination Sailerus maculosus comb. nov..

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.

New Diagnosis

Four new species of Actaecia Dana are described from Australia; three of these (A. bipleura, A. cyphotelson and A. nasuta) are from beaches in south-eastem Australia and one (A. forrnida) is from the mid-eastern coast of Queensland. Specimens from Tasmania identified previously as Actaecia pallida Nicholls & Barnes belong to A. bipleura. The same probably applies to others from New South Wales and Lord Howe Island. The distributions of the six Australian species are noted. A review of the monogeneric family Actaeciidae includes a new diagnosis of Actaecia and a key to species. The distributions of the two New Zealand species are listed.
