Piebaldism is a genetic pigmentation disorder, which is caused by absence of melanocytes in parts of the skin and/or hair follicles, with eyes and claws normally pigmented. The occurrence of piebaldism in natural populations is rare and the effects on fitness are still unknown. This article reports the first case of pigmentation disorders in the Fringe-lipped Bat Trachops cirrhosus (Spix, 1823) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) caught in Barra do Triunfo, city of João Neiva, northeastern state of Espírito Santo, southeast Brazil.

We provide the first record of Leptodactylus cupreus out of its type locality, as well the first record of this species in the State of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. The record of Leptodactylus cupreus from municipality Santa Teresa extends in approximately 220 km to the northeastern of its geographic distribution and establishes the inferior limit of 800 m in its altitudinal distribution in the Serra da Mantiqueira.

Field collections of immatures and adults of Culicidae were carried out in the Rio Doce Valley, Espírito Santo State, aiming to increase knowledge on the anopheline species of that region. Considering all Culicidae species collected, among other anopheline it is noteworthy the presence of Anopheles darlingi, An. oswaldoi and An. costai. Regarding to An. darlingi, responsible for malaria outbreak in the low lands in that state, it was expected to confirm its presence in the area. The register of specimens of An. costai in the field collections is relevant, increasing the geographical distribution of the species and representing better knowledge of the Series Arribalzagia of the subgenus Anopheles.

Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi, 2015, described from the state of São Paulo, is recorded for the first time in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, representing the first record of the genus and species from the state. The specimen was collected with a Malaise Dossel trap and deposited at the Entomological Collection of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Brazil). A diagnosis and illustration of this species are presented  demonstrating morphological variation of the type material. A distribution map is also provided. Gonatopus mariae is a rare species and its distribution is probably restricted to the southeastern region of Brazil.

O Maciço Lagoa Preta (Sudeste do Brasil, Minas Gerais/Espírito Santo) é uma associação de rochas ígnease metaígneas. Estes magmas intrudiram o embasamento gnáissico-migmatítico durante a estruturação doOrógeno Araçuaí-Oeste Congo no Neoproterozóico, um dos muitos orógenos Brasiliano/Pan-Africano quese desenvolveram durante a amalgamação do Oeste Gondwana. O Maciço é composto por dois plutons separados por uma falha direcional de orientação N60-70E. Rochas do Pluton Norte são cumulados gabróicose anortositossem deformação ou metamorfismo. O Pluton Sul é constituído por gabros, charnockito, dioritos e granitos deformados e metamorfizados. Dados geológicos e petrográficos indicam que o Pluton Norte foi intrudido numa fase tardia pós-tectônica enquanto o Pluton Sul tem características sin-tectônicas.Abstract: The Lagoa Preta Massif (Southeast Brazil, Minas Gerais/Espírito Santo), consist of an association of igneousand metaigneous rocks. These magmas intruded gneissic-migmatitic basement during the building of theNeoproterozoic Araçuaí-West Congo Orogen, one of the many Brasiliano/Pan-African orogens that developedduring assembly of West Gondwana. The massif is composed of two plutons separated by a directional faultwith a N60-70E orientation. Rocks from Northern Pluton are gabbroic cumulates and anorthosites, notdeformed nor metamorphosed. The Southern Pluton is constituted by deformed and metamorphosed gabbros,charnockite, diorite and granites. Geological and petrographical data pointed out that the Northern Plutonwas emplaced during a late to post-tectonic phase of the Brasiliano Orogeny while the Southern Plutonmagmas were emplaced on a syn-tectonic one.

This study provides the first record of Physalaemus maximus in the state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. Physalaemus maximus was recorded in the Municipality of Castelo (1100 m a.s.l.), where it was observed in explosive reproduction in an Atlantic Forest remnant on 06 January 2010. The advertisement call of P. maximus consisted of a single multipulsed note, with carrier frequency emitted in 1,250 Hz and mean duration of 2.10 s. The record from Castelo extends in approximately 140 km eastward from the previous geographic distribution admitted for the species.

Scinax tripui is a medium sized frog that belongs to the Scinax catharinae clade. We provide a new record of Scinax tripui from Serra de Torres, Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil. This is the first record outside the specie’s type locality (Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais) and the first record from the state of Espírito Santo.

Protimesius osvaldoi sp. nov. is described from the Reserva Biológica de Sooretama, state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil, being the first record of Stygnidae from this State and the southernmost record of the family in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (hitherto, the family was recorded down to Bahia only), extending in 210 km south of the previously known distribution. This is a large species, with armature of leg IV very reduced and penial morphology differing from the closest counterparts mainly in the ventral plate, which recedes deeply at the lateral borders and has the distal margin curved ventrally and by the presence of two small intermediate setae. Protimesius Roewer, 1913 consisted hitherto of 17 species, recorded from northern/northeastern Brazil and Amazonia of adjacent countries. A key is given for the 17 species of Protimesius for which males are known.
