As a contribution to knowledge of the aquatic beetles of the Neotropical Region, the genus Berosus Leach is recorded for the first time from Roraima State in northern Brazil. Three new species are described and illustrated: Berosus illuviosus sp. n., B. parvus sp. n., and B. andreazzei sp. n. In addition, we present a checklist of the Berosus species collected in 26 ponds in the savanna area of the State of Roraima, with 12 new species records for the state, five of which are also new country records for Brazil.

Lithodytes lineatus (Schneider, 1799) is a medium-sized frog distributed throughout South America and found in Brazil in the Amazonia and Cerrado domains. Here we document two new records of the species in forested areas in the state of Amapá, Northern Brazil, and provide an updated distribution map for it. The record of L. lineatus in the state of Amapá extends its distribution approximately 78 km from the nearest locality, Floresta Estadual do Paru, in the municipality of Monte Alegre, state of Pará, Brazil, and help to fill information gaps.

The state of Sergipe, located in the Northeast Region of Brazil, covers an area of 21,994 km² and is the smallest state in the country. The vegetation of this region is predominantly caatinga, but there are also mangroves, dunes, restinga, fragments of original Atlantic Forest (which are intermingled with pastures, secondary growth, and agricultural land) and cerrado. During intensive fieldwork in Sergipe, we observed various Orchidaceae species that had not been recorded for the state, which made it necessary to update the list of species for this region. Within the state, the family is represented by 63 species and 34 genera, of which Habenaria (10 spp.) Epidendrum (4 spp.) and Encyclia (4 spp.) are highlights. Orchidaceae species from this region are generally terrestrial and occur in grasslands (59%, 37 of 63 spp.). The remaining species are epiphytes (21 spp.) and hemiepiphytes (3 spp.). The majority of the species flower at the beginning of the rainy season. Of the 61 species that were recorded during this study, 34 species are new records for the state of Sergipe. This work includes a list of the species of Orchidaceae from Sergipe, and provides data about the phenology and habitat for each taxon.

A New Species

Members of Martarega White are stream inhabitants and tend to be gregarious, forming large schools in deep sheltered eddies. Most of the species of Martarega are known from Neotropics, and nine of them have been reported from Brazil. Martarega oriximinaensis Barbosa, Ribeiro and Ferreira-Keppler, sp. nov. is described here from Oriximiná, Pará. This species resembles M. hungerfordi Truxal in having a sharp concavity in the hind trochanter, and a narrow median stripe in the hemelytra and teeth in the costal margin of female hemelytra; but members of M. oriximinaensis can be readily recognized by the presence of one or two groups of very cohesive, short bristles near the lateral margin of the middle trochanter and by the distinctive shape of the male claspers. In M. oriximinaensis sp. nov. the female hemelytra bear at least 30 teeth on its costal margin, whereas in M. hungerfordi the female hemelytra bear at least sixteen teeth on such costal margin. A key to the species of Martarega occurring in northern Brazil is provided. New records of M. brasiliensis Truxal and M. membranacea White from Pará State (northern Brazil) are given. Members of M. uruguayensis (Berg) are newly recorded from São Paulo State (southeastern Brazil).

Orchids display a diversified range in terms of shape, size and colour of flowers. They have a unique floral morphology compared to other angiospermic plants. They have minute seeds that are dispersed through air, and that may be why they are distributed throughout the world, except for the hot deserts and Antarctica. Though the family Orchidaceae represents a highly advanced group of plants, they are highly susceptible to even slight changes in environmental conditions. In India, orchids are represented by 1,141 species belonging to 186 genera. The present study was conducted on the Chotanagpur region of India, most of the part of which lies in the state of Jharkhand. A systematic survey was conducted through out the state from April 2002, on foot in different forested regions in different seasons. A checklist of 63 species of orchids recorded from this area is provided. That includes 26 new records.

Herein, we provide the first record of N. amazoniana for Roraima state, thus extending the geographic range of this species to the northernmost state of Brazil. Its occurrence in Roraima also represents the first record of the family Sericostomatidae for the state and the most northern record of the genus in South America. Information on the holotype of N. amazoniana and a distribution map for all species of Notidobiella are provided.

ABSTRACT Camponotus (Formicinae) is the most specious and abundant genus of the family Formicidae. The genus is represented by ants that both forage and nest in the most diverse terrestrial and arboreal environments. Among the arboreal species of Camponotus are those of the subgenus Dendromyrmex. We recorded, for the first time, evidence of Camponotus chartifex (Smith, 1860) in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, and expanded the distributions of Camponotus nidulans (Smith, 1860) and Camponotus apicalis (Mann, 1916). We include information on the biology of the species and a discussion on the sampling of arboreal and winged ants.
