Two New Species

In the present study, two new species of Nitzschia Hassall, Nitzschia pusilluhasta sp. nov. and Nitzschia australodesertorum sp. nov. are described from reservoirs in the state of São Paulo southeast Brazil. The morphology of the new species was analysed using light and electron microscopy. Nitzschia pusilluhasta is distinguished from morphologically related species by its valve outline, the shape of apices and fibulae, the absence of a gap between central fibulae, and the density of striae and areolae. Nitzschia australodesertorum differs from morphologically similar species in its valve outline, the shape of apices and fibulae, the presence of a gap between the central fibulae, and the density of fibulae and striae. The morphology and ecology of the new species are discussed and compared with morphologically related taxa. Information on the co-occurrence of other diatom species in the samples is also provided.

Two New Species

Two new species of Graffenrieda are described from the Amazon rainforest. Graffenrieda maturaca is characterized mainly by its leaves which are dull on the adaxial surface, chartaceous, narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate, and apparently uni-nerved, with only the median acrodromous vein evident. This species has been collected only at Serra de Maturacá, in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Graffenrieda goldenbergii is distinguished mainly by the pulverulent, whitish, early caducous indumentum of the rachis, pedicel, hypanthium and calyx, by the abaxial surface of the leaves which is moderately lepidote, with trichomes ca. 0.2 mm diam., by the irregularly valvate calyx, and by the membranaceous, costate, not sulcate fruits. This species has been collected in the state of Acre, Brazil, and in the Province and District of Lama in Peru. Both species are illustrated, compared with similar species, and their conservation status is discussed.

Species Descriptions

Two cloud forest species of Lycianthes are newly described: L. breedlovei from the state of Chiapas, Mexico and L. fredyclaudiae from the state of Baja Verapaz, Guatemala. Both species have orange-brown, multangulate-stellate trichomes in which the rays of the trichome are rebranched, white to pale lilac flowers (with darker violet-purple lobes in L. breedlovei), and unequal stamens. Morphologically, they resemble L. hortulana of Honduras, but both new species have previously been misidentified as L. cuchumatanensis. This article provides species descriptions, maps of geographic distributions, drawings of trichomes, and images of the flowers and specimens of the two new species, as well as a comparison chart of morphological characters used to separate L. breedlovei and L. fredyclaudiae from similar species.

A New Species

A new species of Elachistocleis is described from the municipality of Xapuri, state of Acre, northern Brazil. It distinguish-es from other species by the presence of an immaculate ventral coloration, SVL larger than 31 mm, and width head morethan 6.9 mm in adult males. Multivariate analysis based on external morphology also distinguishes the new species from the most morphologically similar species. The advertisement call is described and tadpoles remain unknown.

Poços De Caldas

The analysis of anuran vocalizations is an important taxonomic tool, especially within complexes of morphologically similar species. Hypsiboas beckeri and H. stenocephalus are syntopic in their type locality (Poços de Caldas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil), and both belong to the H. polytaenius species group. Analyzed calls of these species showed that a previous acoustic description for H. beckeri, from another locality, probably represents a distinct species. The calls of topotypical H. beckeri and H. stenocephalus differed substantially from each other, and also could be differentiated from other species of the H. polytaenius group. Additionally, we present the first record of H. beckeri for the State of São Paulo. The conservation status of both studied species varies among the available red lists and should thus be revisited in the future according to new taxonomic and distributional information.

Continuous Loss

Five new species of Peperomia (Piperaceae), endemic to the state of Veracruz, Mexico, are described, illustrated, compared with morphologically close taxa and assigned to their respective subgenus. Peperomia castilloi Vergara-Rodríguez & Jimeno-Sevilla, P. nopalana G.Mathieu, P. trichobracteata G.Mathieu & T.Krömer and P. xalana G.Mathieu are four somewhat similar species that occur at lower elevations in tropical humid forests. Peperomia zongolicana Jimeno-Sevilla & Vergara-Rodríguez occurs in tropical humid forests at mid-range elevations and is very distinct by the shape of its inflorescences. An assessment of their conservation status, considering IUCN Red List categories and criteria, revealed that they all belong to a threatened category, mainly due to the continuous loss and fragmentation of their natural habitats.

Fifteen species of the genus Entoloma, found in high elevations of Nevado de Colima and the Tequila volcanos, both in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, are presented. Their macromorphological and micromorphological structures are described and general characteristics of their habitat; furthermore, comments about their distinctive features and similar species in the literature are given. Of these 15 species, three are described as new, 11 represent the first records for Mexico, and the remaining one is the second record for the country. The species generally show much resemblance to Entoloma taxa described from the Southern United States of America and to a lesser extent, those of Europe.

A New Species

The state of Espírito Santo is located in Southeastern Brazil and occupies 45,597 km² within the Atlantic Forest domain. The flora of the state is still in progress, and families such as the Araceae represent groups that have not yet been representatively sampled. Sampling efforts in the Southern areas of the state revealed the existence of a new species of Anthurium, related to A. cleistanthum, A. truncatum and A. molle. Here, we describe and illustrate this species and present a comparative analysis with the most similar species. To date, the species is known only from the type locality, occurring in forests that cover limestone outcrops.
