Aristelliger georgeensis, previously known to occur in the Yucatan peninsula (Mexico), the coasts and islands from Belize and Honduras, and the oceanic islands of Colombia in the Caribbean (San Andres, Providence and Saint Catalina) was registered for the first time in Roncador Cay, a flat and small island of coralline origin, located in the southwest of the Caribbean. Being considered as an endangered species at the national level, the new locality for this gecko constitutes an opportunity for its conservation. Some topics regarding the possible origins of this new population are discussed. This new locality represents the eastern most documented record of this species so far.La especie amenazada Aristelliger georgeensis (Squamata: Sphaerodactylidae) en el Cayo Roncador, Caribe colombianoAristelliger georgeensis, previamente conocido de la península de Yucatán (México), las costas e islas de Belice y Honduras y de las islas oceánicas de Colombia en el Caribe (San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina), fue registrado por primera vez en el Cayo Roncador, una isla plana y pequeña de origen coralino, ubicada en el suroccidente del Caribe. Siendo considerada como una especie amenazada a nivel nacional, la nueva localidad para este geco constituye una oportunidad para su conservación. Se discuten algunos tópicos relacionados con el posible origen de esta nueva población. Esta nueva localidad representa el registro documentado más al Este para la especie.

For the first time a parasitic relationship between a water mite larva and a Cladocera is found and documented by scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. A Unionicolidae larva (cf. Unionicola) has been found attached to a Bosmina tubicen (Cladocera) collected in a karst sinkhole (cenote) in the southeast of the Yucatán Peninsula (México).

First Time

Amaranthaceae s.s. (Caryophyllales) is a cosmopolitan family well represented in the Yucatan Peninsula Biotic Province (YPBP). The YPBP is a biogeographic area that comprises entirely three Mexican states (Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan), partially two Mexican states (Chiapas and Tabasco), northern Belize, and northern Guatemala (Petén department). Most of the available checklists of the vascular plants from the Yucatan Peninsula (YP) merely include taxa from the Mexican states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan. A study of the Amaranthaceae diversity in the YPBP in its expanded delimitation is here presented for the first time, on the basis of field surveys and examinations of the specimens kept in the main Mexican herbaria (CICY, ENCB and MEXU). Accepted names, main synonyms, morphological descriptions, phenology, habitat, elevation, ethnobotanical uses, vernacular Spanish and Mayan names, origin status, and digital illustrations are provided for each taxon. Keys of identification are also given. Each taxon was geographically mapped using ArcGIS software. Notes about diversity and distribution analyses were conducted comparing maps of distribution for each taxon considering vegetation types and climatic types characterizing the YPBP. A total of 28 species (with 4 varieties) representing nine genera of Amaranthaceae s.s. (excluding Iresine) ocurring in the YPBP were studied. An estimate of the family diversity in the YPBP is increased here, as records of four new taxa are presented for this region. Results suggest that most of the taxa are natives, aliens, and/or weeds mostly occupying perturbed vegetation types. Only Blutaparon vermiculare, Amaranthus greggii, and A. arenicola show affinity to sand dunes primary vegetation. This new information about the distribution of Amaranthaceae s.s. in the YPBP, considering its invasion and origin status, can help to develop further studies focused on conservative approaching to know more about natural biogeographic regions such as YPBP.

Bibliographic Data

A survey of the diversity, distribution, and taxonomy of the genus Udotea from the Yucatan peninsula littoral, Mexico, is presented. The results are based on a review of herbarium specimens, bibliographic data, and collections made by the authors during 2012–2016 at 34 localities along the study area. Macro and microscopic characteristics, relevant photographs, and descriptions are provided for each taxon. A total of 17 taxa of Udotea were recognized. One new record is cited for Quintana Roo, two for Yucatan, and five for Campeche coasts. The Quintana Roo littoral presents the highest number of Udotea species (17), followed by Campeche (13), and finally Yucatan (9). The Udotea taxa could be segregate by the presence of lateral appendages in the blade siphons and, the shape of the lateral appendages of the blade and stipe siphons.
