In a recent monograph on the genus Rosellinia, type specimens worldwide were revised and re-classified using a morphological approach. Among them, some came from Pier Andrea Saccardo’s fungarium stored in the Herbarium of the Padova Botanical Garden. In this work, we taxonomically re-examine via a morphological and molecular approach nine different Roselliniasensu Saccardo types. ITS1 and/or ITS2 sequences were successfully obtained applying Illumina MiSeq technology and phylogenetic analyses were carried out in order to elucidate their current taxonomic position. Only the ITS1 sequence was recovered for Rosellinia areolata, while for R. geophila, only the ITS2 sequence was recovered. We proposed here new combinations for Rosellinia chordicola, R. geophila and R. horridula, while for R. ambigua, R. areolata, R. australis, R. romana and R. somala, we did not suggest taxonomic changes compared to the current ones. The name Rosellinia subsimilis Sacc. is invalid, as it is a later homonym of R. subsimilis P. Karst. & Starbäck. Therefore, we introduced Coniochaeta dakotensis as a nomen novum for R. subsimilis Sacc. This is the first time that these types have been subjected to a molecular study. Our results demonstrate that old types are an important source of DNA sequence data for taxonomic re-examinations.

Plagiochilaceae is here circumscribed to include 10 genera, Acrochila, Chiastocaulon, Dinckleria, Pedinophyllopsis, Pedinophyllum, Plagiochila, Plagiochilidium, Plagiochilion, Pseudolophocolea and Xenochila. For the forthcoming world checklist of hornworts and liverworts we here summarize the current knowledge and identify the sections of Plagiochila that are currently recognized by morphological and molecular studies. Plagiochila is provisionally divided into 28 sections based on recent morphological and molecular studies. Plagiochila ecuadorica and Plagiochila sciophila subsp. ciliigera are new combinations, Plagiochila umbrosioides is a nomen novum.

The fossil species  Oreodaphne obtusifolia Berry (1916: 301) was described, based on the fossil leaf remains of the most abundant laurel from the Early Eocene Wilcox Group sediments of Holly Springs: Marshall Co, Grenada Co., Miss.: Mississippi embayment (Southeastern North America). Nowadays, most systematists consider the extant Oreodaphne to be a member of Ocotea (Mez, 1889: 219; Rohwer, 1986; van der Werff, 2002; Chanderbali et al., 2001). LaMotte (1952) transferred Berry’s (1916: 301) combination to Ocotea, and this transfer was followed by Dilcher (1963), who reinforced attribution of Wilcox leaf megafossils to Ocotea by cuticular analysis of epidermis and stomata (Dilcher & Lott, 2005). However, according to Art. 53.1 of the ICN (McNeill et al.  2012) the name Ocotea obtusifolia (Berry) LaMotte (1952) is illegitimate because of the existence of the earlier overlooked homonym, Ocotea obtusifolia Kunth (1817: 165–166), an extant lauraceous species from Colombia (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, holotype: http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.P00128771). The homonymy between these fossil and extant American species of Ocotea was revealed during the description of the new fossil Early Oligocene species Ocotea rossica Vikulin from the south of the Middle-Russian upland (Vikulin, 2015: 326). Since Ocotea obtusifolia (Berry) LaMotte has been systematically recognized as a valid species in current use and it does not have any synonym, a nomen novum, O. dilcherii, is formally proposed here as a replaced name. Because a type specimen was not indicated among the validating illustrations of Berry (1916: pl. 80, fig. 1; pl. 83, fig. 2–5, and pl. 84, fig. 1 and 2), a lectotype must be designated here, from the specimens illustrated in the protologue (Berry, 1916: 301–302) amongst those perfect specimens with blunt leaf apex, which are very abundant in the clays at Puryear, Tenn. (Proposed lectotype: paleobotany collection # USNM 35867, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (USA), illustrated in Berry, 1916: 301, pl. 83, fig. 5.

This paper contains a report on a collection of parasitic protozoa from the blood of some vertebrate animals of Uganda.Seven new species and a number of parasites recorded for new hosts are described. New observations on some known parasites are also recorded.An account is given of the life history of the crocodile haemogregarine. It is shown that the schizogony of Hepatozoon pettiti (nomen novum for Haemogregarina pettiti) occurs in the liver of the crocodile, while the sporogony takes place in Glossina palpalis, its intermediate host.A list of all the blood parasites found, together with their hosts, is given.

The erebid moth Eublemma pannonica (Freyer, 1840) is a distinctive species of the Pannonian region. The species-group name panonica Freyer, 1840 is an incorrect original spelling what needs a rectification. This spelling has been forgotten until its appearance in the catalogue compiled by Robert W. Poole in 1989 for noctuid names and it is again in use. The other original spelling pannonica Freyer, 1840 is the correct one, what was in general usage until 1989. On the basis of voluminous literature references these spellings are discussed. The name Eublemma panonica ronkayorum Fibiger, Zilli & Yela, 2010 is a junior homonym of Eublemma ronkayorum Fibiger & Hacker, 2002, therefore the replacement name, Eublemma pannonica ronkayi nomen novum is proposed for the junior taxon. With three figures.

Two new species―Silene orientoalborzensis and S. circumcarmanica―are here described from Northeast and South Iran, respectively. They belong to Silene subg. Silene sect. Auriculatae which is the largest section of the genus in W-Asia. A specimen from center of Iran, which was identified erroneously as S. atocioides, is revised and identified as S. pendula which represents a new record for the Iranian flora. S. simsii is proposed as a nomen novum for Cucubalus multifidus.

Hemipholis cordifera is the correct name for the only known Western Atlantic species of Hemipholis. Hemipholis elongata, a name which has been used in place of H. cordifera, is a nomen dubium that cannot unambiguously be assigned to any known species of brittle star. Evidence is presented that the genus Hemipholis presently comprises only H. cordifera and its geminate Eastern Pacific congener Hemipholis gracilis, and it is shown that the latter name has priority over Hemipholis affinis. Hemipholis gracilis and H. cordifera are illustrated and compared to show how mature individuals can be distinguished. However, small individuals of both species are extremely similar. The latitudinal distributions of H. cordifera and H. gracilis appear to be causally related to coastal water temperature, possibly in conjunction with divergent ocean currents, and the relatively broad range of H. cordifera compared to H. gracilis is attributed to its cold tolerance and to the influence of widespread warm-water boundary currents in the central Western Atlantic. As regards the two other congeners that have been described, Hemipholis wallichii is revealed to be a juvenile ophiuroid incertae sedis, and Hemipholis microdiscus was previously transferred to the Amphiuridae and assigned the nomen novum, Amphiura microdiscoida.

A history of the names Corniculariella and Cornularia is presented. Cornularia is rejected as superfluous. Emended descriptions of Corniculariella, and C. abietis, its type species, are provided. A key is given for seven form-species: C. abietis, C. harpographoidea sp. nov., C. hystricina comb. nov., C. populi sp. nov., C. pseudotsugae comb. nov., C. spina comb. nov., and C. urceola comb. nov.Cornularia viburni is considered a nomen dubium, C. sphaeroidea is considered to belong in Heteropatella, and C. macrospora is considered to belong in Subulariella. A brief history of C. microscopica is presented. Some names in Cornularia led to revisions of other genera. Micropera was found to be a later homonym, and Foveostroma, nomen novum, is proposed to accommodate M. drupacearum, the type species, and also M. abietina. Emended descriptions for Gelatinosporium and G. betulinum, its type species, are presented.In the table, the transfers of form-species of Corniculariella can be followed by tracing the symbol representing each form-species. All illustrations are of type material.
