A New Species

Vellozia leptopetala corresponds to V. epidendroides, a much older name, and its taxonomic history encompass also V. epidendroides var. divaricata and V. epidendroides var. major, which are quite distinct species. For solving this situation, new synonyms of V. epidendroides, a new name, V. ornithophila, and a new status for both varieties of V. epidendroides are here presented. Vellozia virgata corresponds to V. sellowii, also a much older name. For solving this situation, the sinking of V. virgata into V. sellowii, and a new species, V. linearis, based on the isotypes of V. virgata, are presented. Vellozia asperula var. filifolia showed to be a very distinct species from V. asperula. For mending this situation, a new status for V. asperula var. filifolia is proposed.

A New Species

In a paper by Prof. Jeffrey and myself, published in the ‘Philosophical Transactions ,’ last year, we described, a new species of Lepidostrobus from the Waverley Shale of Kentucky, under the name, Lepidostrobus Fiseheri . My friend, Prof. R. Zeiller of Paris, has now kindly pointed out to me that the specific name Fischeri is not admissible, another fossil cone having been described in 1890 by M. B. Renault, under the same name, Lepidostrobus Fischeri . I am sorry to have overlooked this reference, an oversight for which I am solely responsible. Our fossil must now receive a new name and it is unfortunate that it is no longer possible to record in the specific designation the name of the discoverer, Mr. Moritz Fischer. The name I now propose for our cone is Lepidostrobus kentuckiensis , after the State in which the plant-bearing deposit occurs. The diagnosis is briefly repeated below.

A New Species

Taxonomic studies of Mimosa subser. Polycephalae revealed a new species and indicated the need for taxonomic and nomenclatural adjustments in the group. Mimosa pseudoracemosa is described and illustrated as a new species from Goiás State in central-western Brazil. We discuss its geographic distribution, environmental preferences, phenology and conservation status and compare it with the morphologically similar M. pseudoradula and M. flavocaesia. A new status for M. pseudoradula var. detonsa and a new name are proposed (= M. detonsa), including M. pseudoradula var. anapolitana and M. pseudoradula var. crystallites as its synonyms, as well an updated circumscription for M. pseudoradula without the admission of varieties. We also present descriptions, images, maps, comments on their distributions and morphological relationships, flowering and fruiting periods, and conservation statuses. In addition to the morphological and geographic discontinuities of the aforementioned taxa, their trichome micromorphology supported the establishment of the new species, as well as the taxonomic decisions involving M. pseudoradula.

A New Species

The genus Peperomia Ruiz and Pavón (1794: 8) (Piperaceae) has a pantropical distribution, with the highest diversity in the Neotropics (Wanke et al. 2006, Mathieu et al. 2015). It consists of epiphytic, epipetric or herbaceous plants with 1628 currently accepted taxa, with 1453 species plus 175 forms and varieties (Mathieu 2001-2021). Recently, Callejas (2020) described a new species from Panama, Peperomia parvicaulis Callejas (2020: 466), which is illegitimate, as it is a later homonym of the Sumatran species Peperomia parvicaulis C. de Candolle (1920: 294). Therefore, the replacement name Peperomia callejasii U.B. Deshmukh is proposed here in accordance with the article 53.1 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).

Eight of the thirteen known species of Puccinia on Malpighiaceae were collected during our studies in Brazil. All were examined in detail, and a new name is suggested for Prospodium reticulatum and a new species, Puccinia guassuensis, is designated. A key to the eight species of Puccinia is provided. Nomenclatural notes, descriptions, and illustrations are presented for each species.

A New Species

Schmidt-Rhaesa & Vieler (2018) described a new species of benthic chaetognath, Spadella kappae, collected by meiofaunal sampling near Roscoff, France. Although the description and figures presented by Schmidt-Rhaesa & Vieler (2018) fully characterize the new species, the journal issue in which the description appeared was published online-only, with no print version, and the article in which the new name appeared did not include a ZooBank registration number for the article (LSID), required for validation of new species names in electronic-only publications (ICZN 2012). As a result, the name Spadella kappae Schmidt-Rhaesa & Vieler, 2018, as published in Cahiers de Biologie Marine 59: 257–265, is not available according the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, hereafter, the Code (ICZN 1999, 2012). Therefore, the present note serves to validate the name Spadella kappae by fulfilling Code conditions for nomenclatural availability. The date and authorship of the specific name, accordingly, are those of this note, not Schmidt-Rhaesa & Vieler (2018).

A New Species

We recently described a new species of catfish, Kryptopterus vitreolus (see Ng & Kottelat, 2013). Although the abstract, the introduction and the running title of that work made it clear that it was a new species, some may argue that the name is unavailable because it is not accompanied by the magic words ‘new species’. Article 16.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (hereafter the Code) requires that in order to be available a new name “must be explicitly indicated as intentionally new”. Although our study explained that the species had no name and went on to provide a description and propose a name for it, we inadvertently omitted to accompany the name with the words “new species”, leaving room for argument that the name is technically unavailable in terms of Art. 16.1 of the Code.
