Genus One

The Bromeliaceae Flora for the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil, is presented, based on extensive fieldwork, morphological analyses using herbarium and freshly collected material, and specialized literature. Twenty-six species of bromeliads were recorded in Rio Grande do Norte, distributed in ten genera and in three subfamilies. Bromelioideae was the richest subfamily (eight genera/14 species), followed by Tillandsioideae (one genus/12 species), and Pitcairnioideae (one genus/one species). Aechmea mertensii, Hohenbergia horrida and Tillandsia tenuifolia are new records for Rio Grande do Norte. Eight species (31%) are restricted to the Eastern portion of the state, in the Atlantic Forest. Caatinga dry woodlands harbor 18 species, with remarkable presence of Bromelia laciniosa, Encholirium spectabile, Tillandsia recurvata and T. streptocarpa, the four most widely distributed taxa. We discuss problems related to unclear taxonomic circumscriptions of species or diverging information between authors, more expressively in Hohenbergia, but also in Aechmea, Cryptanthus and Tillandsia. The data presented here might contribute to better understand the morphological variation of these taxa and suggest additional research on their taxonomy. Morphological descriptions, general comments, a map, photo plates and an identification key for all taxa are provided.

The fossorial snake Apostolepis kikoi Santos et al., 2018 is known only from its type locality, in Chapada dos Guimarães, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Here, we present the first records of this species after its description, expanding its distribution to transition areas between the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, in the southwestern portion of Mato Grosso. The new record expands the known distribution of A. kikoi by 297 km west from the type locality. In addition, we provide data on morphological variation by comparing our sample with the type series.

Sarconema Filiforme

The taxonomic history of the genus Gracilaria in Australia is reviewed, and nine species are described and illustrated in detail. Two (G. comosa and G. stipitata) are newly described, and the new name G. cliftonii is proposed for the species previously known as G. furcellata Harvey [non G. furcellata (Montagne) Zanardini = Sarconema filiforme (Sonder) Kylin]. New records and observations are given for four species [G. harveyana J.Agardh, G. preissiana (Sonder) Womersley, G. salicornia (C.Agardh) Dawson, and G. urvillei (Montagne) Abbott in Abbott, Zhang & Xia], and two species [G. blodgettii Harvey and G. cf. vieillardii Silva in Silva, Menez & Moe] are added to the Australian flora. An additional seven or eight species that are incompletely known also occur on the continent and are briefly discussed but not illustrated. For nomenclatural and anatomical reasons we propose that G. spinulosa (Okamura) Chang & Xia forma srilankia Chang & Xia, based on G. purpurascens Harvey ex J. Agardh [non G. purpurascens (Hudson) Greville = Cystoclonium purpurascens (Hudson) Kutzing] and not yet recorded from Australia, be elevated to species status as G. srilankia (Chang & Xia) comb. nov. We propose that Gracilaria harveyana J. Agardh 1885 be conserved against Polyides flagelliformis Sonder 1845, which Professor H.B.S. Womersley has determined is an obscure but earlier name for this well-known Western Australian species.

We report new records of the western rounded ear bat Lophostoma occidentalis for the Colombian territory, represented by ten specimens collected on the western portion of the country, in the departments of Cauca, Chocó, and Valle del Cauca, all in the Colombian Pacific Region. The new records of L. occidentalis represent a substantial geographic and ecological extension in the known distribution of this species and corroborate its occurrence in Colombia. In addition, we discuss on the morphological variation of representatives of large Lophostoma species in Colombia.

Abstract A new species of Sciaridae, Claustropyga glacialis sp. nov., is described from the Czech Republic (Hrubý Jeseník Mts. and Šumava Mts.). New records of Claustropyga Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, 2003 from the Czech Republic and Slovakia are presented, including five species new to the Czech Republic (Claustropyga acanthostyla (Tuomikoski, 1960), C. clausa (Tuomikoski, 1960), C. ctenophora Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, 2003, C. refrigerata (Lengersdorf, 1930), C. subcorticis (Mohrig & Krivosheina, 1985)) and three new to Slovakia (Claustropyga acanthostyla, C. aperta Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, 2003, C. refrigerata). Variation in some characters on the male terminalia is illustrated for Claustropyga aperta and C. refrigerata.

Lophostoma carrikeri is a bat species widely distributed in the northern portion of South America and has been reported in a great variety of forested habitats. However, it is still poorly represented in scientific collections and wildlife surveys. In Brazil, L. carrikeri is known mainly for the Amazon basin and few localities in the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes. Here we report the first records of Lophostoma carrikeri from the states of Minas Gerais and Ceará based on specimens examined in taxonomic collections and collected during fieldwork. These new records represent the easternmost limits on the distribution of L. carrikeri and expand its known geographic range in approximately 488 km southeast and 490 km east of the nearest known records (São Domingos, state of Goiás and Teresina, state of Piauí). We also provide measurements, comments on morphological variation and an overall review of the species geographic distribution.
