This paper includes descriptions and illustrations of two new species namely Leipothrix mazandaranicus sp. nov. and Aceria punicae sp. nov. found on Urtica dioica L. (Urticaceae) and Punica granatum L. (Lythraceae), respectively, in Sari county, Mazandaran province, North of Iran. They are the second Leipothrix species from the plants of family Urticaceae and the second Aceria species from plants of the genus Punica.

During the study of eriophyoid mite fauna of Sari county in Mazandaran province, north of Iran, two new species were identified, described and illustrated: Eriophyes parrotiae sp. nov. from Parrotia persica C.A.Mey, (Hamamelidaceae) and Tetra hyrcanica sp. nov. from Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Poir.) Spach (Juglandaceae). A list of eriophyoid mite species collected on Hamamelidaceae plants worldwide and Tetra species recorded from Iran, their type host, type locality and habitus are provided. In addition, the identification key for species collected on Hamamelidaceae and a key for identification of Tetra species from Iran is brought.

Two new species of the genus Apolysis, A. glabrifrons sp. nov. and A. pusilloides sp. nov. are described from the north of Iran. These species belong to a group of eleven Palaearctic species with a closed discal cell. A key for identifying species of Apolysis in Iran is provided. Species of the genus Apolysis with a closed discal cell in Palaearctic region and the presence of a complex of species within it are briefly discussed.

One known species of the false spider mite genus Pentamerismus, P. judicious De Leon is redescribed. Two new species, P. ueckermanni sp. nov. and P. behsharicus sp. nov. are described and figured based on females collected from Juniperus polycarpus L. leaves, Mazandaran province, Iran. A key to all known species of this genus is given.

Potentilla sangedehensis and Potentilla diversidentata are two new species collected from high montane areas of Sangedeh, Central Hyrcanian region, North of Iran. The former is related to the representatives of the section Curvisetae especially P. collettiana, P.  curviseta and P. pteropoda   and the later can be classified in the section Persicae, the most species–rich section in Iran. Detailed morphological descriptions of the new species, their photographs, and comparison of diagnostic traits with allied species are provided.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

Abstract—Two new diploid species, Aira minoricensis and Aira hercynica, are described and illustrated, along with chromosome counts, risk assessment, distribution and habitat, phenology, and comparisons with morphologically similar species. A comparative table and a key for the species of Aira for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands are provided to assist in the identification of these overlooked species, and their relationships to other taxa are discussed.

Abstract Bed-by-bed sampling of twelve Barremian sections in southeastern France from pelagic basin (Vocontian Basin) to neritic platforms (Arc of Castellane, Arc of Nice and Provencal Domain) has enabled the collection of isochronous samples of the ammonite genus Gassendiceras. Three poorly known species of the Toxancyloceras vandenheckei Zone (Upper Barremian) are revised: G. alpinum, G. multicostatum and G. hoheneggeri; two new species are described (G. rebouleti nov. sp. and G. bosellii nov. sp.). The intraspecific variability of particular species was recognised. This variability is between slender peramorphic and robust paedomorphic extreme morphologies, with the presence of all intermediates.
