A New Species

In Australia, two species of Podaxis are recognised based on spore morphology. The species occurring on soil is recognised as P. pistillaris (L. : Pers.) Fr. and the name P. beringamensis sp. nov. is proposed for a new species occuring on termite mounds in Australia. Podaxis carcinomalis (L.f. : Pers.) Fr. is considered a valid taxon from studies of the type collection. Brief notes on other termite mound inhabiting species are given.

A New Species

Taxonomic issues regarding three species of Styrax ser. Valvatae in Brazil are addressed. Styrax bahiensis, a new species from Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. It is similar to S. pallidus in its leaves of similar size and anther thecae that exceed the connective, but differs by coriaceous leaf blades with a revolute margin, leaf domatia up to 0.7 mm long and flat or rarely slightly bulging, a yellow- or orange-stellate-tomentulose calyx abaxially, and spreading corolla lobes. The species is known only from the type collection gathered over 50 years ago. Styrax griseus is placed in synonymy under S. kuhlmannii, a species from central Brazil, and a lectotype is provided for S. kuhlmannii. An updated description and estimate of the geographic distribution of S. pauciflorus are provided, as well as a lectotype and conservation assessment for this species.

The aphelinid genus Diaspiniphagus Silvestri is considered a valid taxon, distinct from Coccophagoides Girault. Both genera are briefly diagnosed and the world species are listed. Diaspiniphagus is newly recorded from India and a new species, D. decorus sp. nov., is described. The following species are transferred to Diaspiniphagus as new combinations: D. inlacertus (Girault) from CoccophagusWestwood and D. fasciativentris (Girault), D. forbesi (Dozier), D. fuscipennis (Girault), and D. pulchellus (Dozier) from Prospaltella Ashmead.

A New Species

At present, Pseudoliparis Finet (1907: 536) includes about 44 species, but nearly a quarter of these have been described relatively recently. The species of Pseudoliparis are generally poorly known and represented in herbaria and liquid collections. Many species are still known from only a few specimens or just the type-collection/protologue (e.g. especially some of Schlechter’s species). Their distribution also contributes to making them poorly known: tropical regions of Southeast Asia through Micronesia, especially New Guinea and the surrounding islands. Knowledge of their ecology, phenology and occurrence is limited as well. However, recent research clearly shows that their floral morphology and coloration and records about their olfactory characteristics are adaptations to specific pollinators, probably small Diptera or Hymenoptera, which promote reproductive their isolation.

A New Species

Calochortus fuscus Schultes (1829: 131) was described based on material collected by Wilhelm Friedrich von Karwinski in Mexico, who participated in two excursions in Mexico (1827–1832, 1841–1843). His collections were purchased by European institutions, especially by Botanische Staatssamlung München (M) in Munich, Germany. Calochortus fuscus is the only species of Calochortus section Cyclobothra Sweet (1828: t273) deposited at M. For his monograph, Ownbey (1940) had access to a photograph of the type of C. fuscus, but he confused this with C. spatulatus Watson (1879: 267) and described C. hintonii Bullock ex Ownbey (1940: 524) based on C. fuscus fresh material (McVaugh 1989). It is now well accepted that C. hintonii is a synonym of C. fuscus. The type locality of C. fuscus was not clarified in the description or the label attached to specimens. We tracked Karwinki’s excursions in Mexico and found out that he made a trip to Temascaltepec, State of Mexico, in September of 1827 (McVaugh 1972), which corresponds with the date on the type collection.

A new species of Hippeastrum Herb. (Amaryllidaceae) from the department of Amazonas, Peru, is described and illustrated here. Hippeastrum peruvianum Meerow & Campos-Rocha features floral morphology unique among the other species of the genus occurring in the country. It has similarities with H. miniatum (Ruiz & Pav.) Herb. and H. reginae (L.) Herb. but is distinguished readily by its larger flowers, distinct coloration pattern, and trifid stigma. The new species is known only from the type collection by Paul C. Hutchison in 1958. It was determined as H. miniatum in error and has apparently been widely cultivated, especially in California, either under that name or erroneously considered a hybrid. We additionally observe that H. ugentii Ochoa, described from Peru and later transferred to Crinum L., is the naturalized South African species C. moorei Hook. f.

Taxonomy of the two previously described species of the hippolytid shrimp genus Heptacarpus Holmes, 1900, H. camtschaticus (Stimpson, 1860) and H. geniculatus (Stimpson, 1860), are reassessed. It has been found that Eualus geniculata longirostris Kobjakova, 1936, which has been regarded as a junior synonym of Heptacarpus geniculatus, is a valid taxon, herein reinstated as a full species. It has been found that two species were confounded in previous literature under the name H. camtschaticus, and one of them is described as new, H. acuticarinatus n. sp. Three species, H. camtschaticus, H. geniculatus and H. longirostris, are redescribed. These four species all belong to an informal species group characterized by the lack of pereopodal epipods. Differences in morphology and distributional pattern among the four species are discussed. A key in aid of the identification of the Asian species belonging to the species group is provided.
