A New Species

Two new species of Aglaia from Indonesia are described, Aglaia monocaula restricted to West Papua, and Aglaia nyaruensis occurring on Borneo (Kalimantan, Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak). A phylogenetic analysis using nuclear ITS and ETS, and plastid rps15-ycf1 sequence data indicates that the two new species of Aglaia are also genetically distinct. Aglaia monocaula belongs to sectionAmoora, while A. nyaruensis is included in section Aglaia. A dichotomous key, drawings and three-locus DNA barcodes are provided as aids for the identification of the two new species of Aglaia. In addition, the geographic range of Aglaia mackiana (section Amoora) is expanded from a single previously known site in Papua New Guinea to West Papua, Indonesia.

A New Species

A slow growing, asexual fungus that produces numerous arthroconidia was isolated during a mycobiota survey of pig farm soil in China. Phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and LSU rDNA sequences showed that it is a new species in the genus Arachnomyces, and the name Arachnomyces jinanicus was introduced. A. pilosus and A. scleroticus are new combinations for Chrysosporium pilosum and Onychocola sclerotica (=Malbranchia scleroticus) respectively. Currently, 11 species are accepted in Arachnomyces and an overview with type information and reference sequence data is given. The phylogenetic relationships of species within the genus are discussed, and a dichotomous key for distinguishing all reported Arachnomyces species is provided.

A New Species

A new species group, the brevis-group, is established for two new species of the fig wasp genus Sycophaga Westwood (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) reared from the monoecious fig tree Ficus orthoneura (Moraceae, Ficus, subgenus Urostigma) in China. The two new species, S. brevis n. sp. and S. diutius n. sp. are described and illustrated, supplemented by COI sequence data. In contrast with two other species groups newly recognized in Sycophaga, the explorator-group for species previously classified in Apocryptophagus Ashmead and the sycomori-group for other species previously classified in Sycophaga, the brevis-group is uniquely defined by the long pronotum of females and a Ficus host within the subgenus Urostigma.

Bulbophyllum yongtaiense, a new orchid species from Fujian, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular analyses. Detailed morphological comparisons indicate that B. yongtaiense is similar to B. kuanwuense, but it can be distinguished from longer scape, fimbriate-ciliate on margins of dorsal sepals and petals, petals with obtuse apex and a lip with finely papillose near base. Molecular analyses based on nuclear ITS and plastid matK, atpI-atpH, and trnL-F DNA sequence data support B. yongtaiense is genetically similar to B. hirundinis and B. pecten-veneris, but it can be distinguished from them by having shorter lateral sepals, petals with obtuse apex and a lip with finely papillose near base.

A new orchid species, Cymbidium brevifolium, from Hubei Province, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular analyses. A detailed comparison between the newly discovered orchid and other members of Cymbidium was conducted. The new orchid is distinct from all other recognized species in Cymbidium. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear (ITS) and plastid DNA (matK and rbcL) sequence data support the status of C. brevifolium as a new species, which is sister to C. faberi.

A New Species

A new Asteraceae species, Aster huangpingensis W. P. Li & Z. Li from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular analyses. Detailed morphological comparisons indicated that A. huangpingensis is similar to A. dolichophyllus. However, it can be distinguished from A. dolichophyllus by its lower leaves (2.5) 3.3–5.8 (7.5) × 0.3–0.9 cm, narrowly oblanceolate or spatulate, bracts glandular, punctate, few or absent, involucres campanulate, 3.5–5.5 mm in diam., ray florets 11–22 and disk florets 16–28, middle phyllary margins with strigillose and eglandular hairs, stigmatic appendage equilaterally triangle-shaped, and different flowering period. Molecular analyses based on nuclear ITS and ETS sequence data supported A. huangpingensis as a distinct species, and its systematic position is determined in A. subgen. Aster sect. Aster. Cytological observations showed that the new species is diploid with its karyotype being 2n =2x =18 = 16 m + 2 sm. Its only population is located on riverbanks of a stream that will become a tourist hotspot and is in urgent need for conservation actions.

Helicascus species from submerged wood in aquatic habitats in northern Thailand were studied based on morphology and analysis of DNA sequence data. Descriptions and illustrations of H. elaterascus and a new species H. chiangraiensis are provided.  H. chiangraiensis is characterized by unilocular ascostromata, fissitunicate asci with a long, narrow and coiled endoascus, ascospores with 2–4 large refractive guttules. The phylogenetic analysis based on combined ITS, LSU and SSU sequence data placed the species in Morosphaeriaceae (Pleosporales).

A New Species

A new species of Dipturus is described from ten specimens collected off Patagonia, Argentina. Morphological and molecular approaches were used to compare among specimens of recognized Dipturus species. By comparing morphometric, meristic and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequence data, specimens referred to as longnose skate and originally regarded as D. chilensis were shown to be a discrete species as distinguished from both the Yellownose skate, D. chilensis and the Roughskin skate, D. trachyderma. Dipturus argentinensis n. sp. can be distinguished from all other southwestern Atlantic longnose skate species by its color pattern, lack of squamation on both upper and lower surfaces of the disc, and a long, thin tail that is approximately half the total length. The new species has one median row of 10 to 24 small caudal thorns, one or two interdorsal thorns and 35 to 40, and 34 to 43 tooth rows on upper and lower jaws, respectively. The 648 base pair COI mitochondrial DNA “barcodes” derived from specimens of D. argentinensis are identical to each other and exhibit greater than 3% sequence divergence from all other Dipturus species similarly characterized to date. Taken together, these independent morphological and molecular observations serve to corroborate one another and thus provide strong evidence for the recognition of D. argentinensis as a new species.

In total, thirteen species of the genus Caryocolum Gregor & Povolný, 1954 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) have been recorded from the Altai mountains in Russia so far. All available faunistic data are summarized and presented in detail. DNA barcodes of the mtCOI (cytochrome c oxidase I) gene of the majority of recorded species were studied. Molecular data and morphology support the following two species, which are described here as new to science: Caryocolum procurvella sp. nov. and C. atrum sp. nov. Caryocolum tetrameris (Meyrick, 1926) is recorded as a new species for Russia. Caryocolum blandella (Douglas, 1852) and C. viscariella (Stainton, 1855) are removed from the fauna of the Altai Republic due to misidentifications.

The genus Carlogonus Demange, 1961, is diagnosed, and its relationship with other members of the Harpurostreptini Hoffman, 1980 is discussed. A new species, Carlogonus gayathri sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the southern Indian State of Kerala, and its DNA barcoding data is presented. Phylogenetic analysis based on mtDNA sequence data revealed that Carlogonus is sister-taxon to Thyropygus Pocock, 1894. Two species-groups are recognised in Carlogonus: the exaratus-group is characterised by a single tibial spine on the gonopod, while the acifer-group has paired tibial spines. A dichotomous key is presented for the known Carlogonus spp., and the current distribution of the genus is mapped.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.
