AbstractTwo new species of Diapheromera, D. kevani and D. petita, are described from Mexico, the first record of these species and of the genus from Baja California. They were found while studying the stick insects (Phasmatoptera) of the Baja California Peninsula.

In the present study 23 species of paraonids from western Mexico collected from the intertidal zone to the continental shelf of Baja California Sur, Guaymas, Sonora, and Petacalco, Guerrero are reported. Eight of these species are first recorded from the Mexican coast: Aricidea (Acmira) assimilis, Aricidea (Acmira) catherinae, Aricidea (Allia) ramosa, Aricidea (Aricidea) longicirrata, Aricidea (Aricidea) minima, and Levinseniaoligobranchiata; Aricidea (Aricidea) minuta and Cirrophorusarmatus are cited for first time from the Pacific. Two new species are described. Aricidea (Aricidea) petacalcoensis sp. nov. has bifurcate antenna on prostomium without nuchal grooves, tapering branchiae in chaetigers 4–13, modified neuropodial chaetae from chaetiger 21. Cirrophorus magdalenaensis sp. nov. has prostomium without antennae, eyes or nuchal grooves, banchiae from chaetiger 5, having ten pairs, notopodial modified chaetae bayonet-shaped.

Two new species of Fabaceae, Astragalus comonduensis from A. sect. Inflati and Calliandra pilocarpa from C. sect. Androcallis are described and illustrated. Both species are endemic to the state of Baja California Sur. Distribution, associated vegetation, rarity of observation, affinities to other related species, botanical illustrations, and various keys for identification of these plants in the region are also presented.

Two new species of prickly-pear/nopal (Opuntia sierralagunensis and O. caboensis, Cactaceae) are described and illustrated here; both occur in the tropical deciduous forest plant community found in the Cape region of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. Previously, these two species had been overlooked and were considered extreme forms of species described from the Sierra de La Giganta (e.g., O. comonduensis, O tapona), located hundreds of kilometers away. However, with an improved collection of specimens and field knowledge of the Opuntia species in the region, we have determined that these prickly-pears are new to science and are restricted to the Cape region. We provide justification to separate them from sympatric congeners and other similar species in the southern peninsula.

Two new species of Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce sect. Anisophyllum are described and illustrated. Both are endemic to the Sonoran Desert of Baja California Sur, Mexico, and were previously determined as Euphorbia polycarpa. Their recognition is highly supported by both molecular and morphological data. Euphorbia vizcainensis occurs in the Vizcaíno and Magdalena subdivisions at elevations from 20 to 250 m. It differs from E. polycarpa in having rugose seeds with transverse ridges (vs. smooth seeds). It is most similar to E. pondii from which it is separated by features of the stipules, involucral appendages, and seeds. Euphorbia cerralvensis is restricted to the Cerralvo Island in the municipality of La Paz of the Central Gulf Coast subdivision, and occurs at elevations from 10 to 300 m. It also differs from E. polycarpa by having seeds with transverse ridges. Morphologically it is very distinct from other Euphorbia species in the region. Phylogenetic evidence suggests that it belongs to a clade with E. dentosa, E. leucophylla, E. petrina, and E. brandegeei, species from which it is distinguished by its suffrutescent ascending habit (vs. herbaceous prostrate habit).

Two new species of the genus Pteroptrix are described from Mexico: P. gonzalesi sp. n. from Chiapas and P. mexicana sp. n. from Baja California Sur. A key for identification of three species of Pteroptrix recorded from Mexico is presented. Data on the hosts and distribution of the Mexican Pteroptrix species are given.
