Borneo Island has a large number of wild banana species. As a part of Borneo Island, West Kalimantan has limited information about the diversity of wild bananas. This research aims to update the record distribution of wild bananas from Bonti District of Sanggau Regency and to determine their morphological characteristics. Exploration method and resident information were used in this study. Two species of wild bananas have been identified and considered as new distribution records in West Kalimantan Province, namely-Musa borneensis var. sarawakensis with morphological character pseudostem red-purple colour, sparse black-purple blotches at petiole base, leaf base shape rounded on both sides, male bud red-purple colour and Musa campestris var. sarawakensis with morphological character pseudostem yellow-green colour, inflorescence erect, leaf base one side rounded and one-pointed, the dorsally pink-purple and ventrally pink-purple colour of bract.

Paris nitida is a newly published species, but little is known about its morphological characteristics, distribution and phylogenetic relationship. In this study, field investigation, literature study, morphological observation and molecular nrITS sequence analysis were used to improve knowledge of this species. Morphological traits of P. nitida were found to be more similar to those of Paris fargesii var. brevipetalata, rather than Paris caobangensis as reported before; moreover, a new distribution record in the centre of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was found; additionally, P. nitida was clustered with Paris fargesii var. fargesii, P. fargesii var. brevipetalata, and P. caobangensi in a NJ tree based on the ITS sequences. Accordingly, P. nitida is more closely related to P. sect. Fargesianae rather than P. caobangensis; the habitat of P. nitida is located from south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Nanling Mountains, mainly including the central part of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and central Chinese mountains. It is geographically isolated from P. caobangensis, which occurs in northern Vietnam. The central part of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau may be its area of origin.

Sunandar A. 2017. Short Communication: New record of wild banana (Musa balbisiana Colla) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 1324-1330. Kalimantan Island (Indonesia) is part of the center of origin and diversity of wild bananas in Indo-Malesia region. West Kalimantan is one of province in Kalimantan Island. However, only a little information is available about diversity of wild bananas in West Kalimantan. The aims of this study were to study a possible new record of wild banana species in Nipah Panjang and Teluk Nibung Villages, Kubu Raya District and to describe its phenetic relationships among wild banana species based on morphological characters. By examination based on the morphological character, one species of wild banana was identified, i.e. Musa balbisiana found in Teluk Nibung Village (Local name: Pisang Klotok). However, we didn’t found any wild bananas in Nipah Panjang Village. M. balbisiana was a new record in West Kalimantan. Previously, M. balbisiana is widely distributed only in Java and Sulawesi. M. balbisiana was found in roadsides or backyards of residents in Teluk Nibung Village. Dendrogram of phenetic relationship showed that M. balbisiana from West Kalimantan had similarity with M. balbisiana from Sulawesi with coefficient of similarity 80%.

Oreochromis mossambicus is currently receiving much attention as a candidater species for aquaculture programs within Southern Africa. This has stimulated interest in its breeding cycle as well as the morphological characteristics of the gonads. Limited information is available on SEM and TEM observations of the male gonads. It is known that the testis of O. mossambicus is a paired, intra-abdominal structure of the lobular type, although further details of its characteristics are not known. Current investigations have shown that spermatids reach full maturity some two months after the female becomes gravid. Throughout the year, the testes contain spermatids at various stages of development although spermiogenesis appears to be maximal during November when spawning occurs. This paper describes the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of the testes and spermatids.Specimens of this fish were collected at Syferkuil Dam, 8 km north- west of the University of the North over a twelve month period, sacrificed and the testes excised.

The Toad-headed agama, Phrynocephalus mystaceus Pallas 1776, was described in 1999 from eastern Khorasan by Anderson. Seven specimen of The Toad-headed agama were collected in Khar Turan National Park during fieldwork from June 2008 to June 2009. The new locality of the species is situated about 900 km west of the type locality. This record indicates a wider distribution of Phrynocephalus mystaceus on the Iranian plateau than previously thought. Information on morphological characters and habitat is presented.
