A new species of Scopinella is described and illustrated. This species, Scopinella gallicola, occurs on Pinus contorta galls caused by Endocronartium harknessii. It differs from previously described species mainly in its unusual habitat, size, and shape of the ascocarp, and two- and four-spored asci. The Harziella anamorph is also described. No anamorph has been reported in other species.

A new species, Cephalaria kurdistanica, from Chehel-Cheshmeh mountain, west of Iran, is here described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically related to C. microcephala Boiss., C. procera Fisch. & Avé-Lall., and C. kotschyi Boiss. & Hohen., but it differs in chiefly stem size, size and shape of capitula, the number of phyllaries, shape of upper part of phyllaries, calyx shape and indumentum, and size of bristles of receptacle. As well as detailed description, distribution map, conservation status and ecology of the new species are given.

Members of the tubicolous polychaete family Serpulidae constitute one of the most important groups of marine fouling biota. This paper describes a new species of the serpulid genusHydroidesfrom dock fouling at Mazatlán (southern Gulf of California), providing information about live colouration and reproductive features.Hydroides dolabrussp. nov. belongs to a subgroup of species in which verticil spines are equal in size and shape, lack both external and lateral spinules, but have various modifications to their tips. However,Hydroides dolabrussp. nov. is distinct in having tips of verticil spines pickaxe-shaped, with asymmetrical triangular radially orientated projections: the internal projections are short and point inward the verticil centre, while longer external projections point outward the verticil centre. Like all species of the genus,H. dolabrussp. nov. is a gonochoristic broadcast spawner lacking sexual dimorphism. A phylogenetic analysis of Hydroides based on COI, 18S and cytbsequence data reveals thatH. dolabrussp. nov. is genetically distinct from other species ofHydroidesfor which sequence data are available. The new species is the 11th in the genus described from Mexican waters.

The new species Penicillium kananaskense is described based on an isolate from soil in a Pinus contorta forest from Alberta, Canada. Colonies are characterized by their relatively rapid growth, velutinous texture, white to slightly pink conidial masses, growth at 5 °C, and absence of growth at 37 °C. The conidiophores are monoverticillate or have one metula, are up to 300 μm tall, smooth walled or with slightly roughened walls, vesiculate, and bear ampulliform phialides, 8–11.5(−14.5) × 2.5–4 μm, that produce disordered chains of ellipsoidal conidia, 3–5 × 2.5–4 μm, with smooth or finely roughened walls. The species is compared with previously described taxa and its subgeneric affinities are discussed. Preliminary data on the many secondary metabolites produced by the ex-type culture are presented. Key words: Penicillium kananaskense, soil, Pinus contorta var. latifolia, mycotoxins.

A new species of the previously monotypic bufonid genus Frostius is described from Atlantic Rain Forest fragments in the southern region of the State of Bahia, Brazil. The new species is distinguished from F. pernambucensis by life colors of body and iris, length and width of digits, development of apical discs, and size and shape of tympanum. New locality records extend the distribution of the genus 105 km to the north (to the State of Paraíba), and 190 km to the south (southern region of the State of Bahia).

Amorphophallus shyamsalilianum is described as a new species from Bhandara district (MS), India. It differs from Amorphophallus konkanensis and A. bhandarensis by the size and shape of its tubers with long offsets, by the lengths of pedicel and peduncle as well as by the reproductive structures which also vary by the arrangement of pistillate flowers; sterile flowers; male flowers; protruding spadix-appendix and seed shape. The plant grows on bunds of paddy field and was collected from three different sites within Bhandara district.

Petrocodon pulchriflorus, a new species of Gesneriaceae is described and illustrated from the limestone area of southwestern Guangxi, China. It is similar to Petrocodon guangxiensis, but can be distinguished by several characters, such as the size and shape of leaf blades, inflorescences and corolla, and the position of stamens. Also the phylogenetic affinity of Petrocodon pulchriflorus is presented based on the plastid trnL-F and nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences.

The new species Impatiens elianae is described from cultivated plants said to have been collected in central Madagascar. It is part of the I. lyallii complex and closely related to I. trichoceras from eastern central Madagascar, but differs in having a glossy lamina with silvery part in the centre, linear extrafloral nectaries, 2-flowered inflorescences, relatively long hairs (0.8–1.2 mm) on the sepals, larger size and shape of the broad ovate crest at the dorsal side of the dorsal petal, shorter spur, and (3–) 5 rows of pink hairs on the ovary and fruit. Impatiens trichoceras is taken from the synonymy of Impatiens lyallii and is considered as a species of its own.

A new species of the biconic, deep water conid genus Turriconus Shikama and Habe, 1968 has been discovered in the bathyal zones south of the Pratas Islands, South China Sea. This new taxon, Turriconus takahashii new species, superficially resembles T. excelsus (Sowerby III, 1908), both in size and shape and is one of the largest species in the genus Turriconus

Onobrychis farimanensis is described as a new species and an identification key, illustrations and distribution map provided. The new species is restricted to the north Zharf Mountains between Fariman and Torbat-e Heydarieh, in the Khorasan Razavi Province of Iran. It is a perennial herb, becoming woody at the base and has long wing petals, standard as long as the keel, and pods loosely covered by appressed hairs. The new species differs from morphologically similar taxa, O. alamutensis and O. major, in several morphological characters such as plant height, stem indumentum, leaflet length and indumentum, bract length, calyx length, corolla colour, and pod size and shape.

A new species, Allium negianum (Amaryllidaceae), belongs to the genus Allium subg. Rhizirideum, sect. Eduardia is described here from the Uttarakhand Himalayan region of India. This taxon grows in Malari region of Niti valley in Chamoli district and Dharma valley of Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, India. It is a narrowly distributed species and morphologically more closer to A. przewalskianum Regel but differentiated by its tunic color of bulb, umbel with lax flowers, peduncle length, perigone colour, size and shape and leaf anatomy. Taxonomic delineation and relationship analysis based on nuclear ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) region indicated that A. negianum is distinct and related to A. przewalskianum. This study provided a comprehensive description and comparison with A. przewalskianum, an identification key and notes on the distribution of the species.
