The following list is furnished in compliance with the request of the Editor of the Canadian Entomologist, published some time ago, some unsettled questions regarding species and distribution having delayed its preparation from time to time.The list is intended to be as complete as possible, and to include all described species known to have been taken within the State limits, or so nearly adjacent thereto as to certainly belong to the Illinois Fauna. In order to roughly designate the distribution within the State I have attached an to all species from the northern portion, of whose capture I have personal knowledge, and have further affixed a to such species as are not known to occur in the southern portion of the State.

Chamaecrista is one of the largest genera of Leguminosae subfamily Caesalpinioideae and comprises 330 species, of these, 222 species are present in the Phytogeographic Cerrado Domain in Brazil. The taxonomy of the genus in Brazil continues to need study. Here we present a taxonomic synopsis of Chamaecrista for the Chapada dos Veadeiros (CV) region, which is located in the northern portion of the state of Goiás, Brazil. Fieldwork was carried out in the area between 2010 and 2018; we also reviewed the literature and about 1500 herbarium collections to build the synopsis of species presented here. We record 65 species (71 taxa) of Chamaecrista occurring in the CV, corresponding to 60% of the species registered for the state of Goiás; 49 species at Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (CVNP), 27 and 19 are endemic to the state of Goiás and the studied area respectively. An identification key and distribution maps, as well as comments on morphology and conservation status are presented, together with photograhs of the species in the field.

At Wooster, Ohio, this species was observed in the fieds on May 26, and at Alliance, nearly due east, on October 24, while at Bridgeport, in the extreme eastern central part of the State, it was found, active, on November 4, all during 1898. It appears to have been more numerous of late in the vicinity of the south shore of Lake Erie than elsewhere in the northern portion of the State, and more abundant than I have formerly observed it in the same latitude in Indiana and Illinois.

Studies of Louisiana's prehistory have been devoted largely to the pottery-making and mound-building cultures. The topography of the state is primarily responsible for this fact, since the delta lands of southern Louisiana and the wide, fertile river valleys of the northern part were particularly suitable for the agricultural peoples whose numerous sites have attracted attention. Witness to this fact is the long sequence of pottery-containing cultures (Tchefuncte, Marksville, Troyville, Coles Creek, Plaquemine, historic Natchez) delineated by Ford, Willey, and Quimby in central and southern Louisiana, while the Red and Ouachita River valleys in the northern portion present another series of culture periods (Marksville, Coles Creek, Gahagan, Bossier, Belcher, Glendora) which culminate in the historic Caddo.Despite these facts, evidences of pre-pottery cultures are appearing in the state and these may be expected to increase as more careful investigations are pursued. This could be anticipated from the situation in surrounding states—the Edwards Plateau culture of central Texas, the Ozark Bluff Dweller culture of Arkansas and the several strata which underlie the pottery containing cultures in the Southeast, recently reviewed by Haag.

We carried out a study on the anurofaunal community from an Atlantic Forest fragment (Monte Verde mountains) and the surrounding area in Cambuci municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, which constitutes one of the largest fragments remaining in the largely deforested landscape of the northern portion of the State. We combined three sampling methods: plot sampling, transects and pit-fall traps. We recorded twenty species of amphibians, of which only eleven were found within the forest fragment (and five of these also occurred in the surrounding matrix). Two of the species recorded in the present study (Crossodactylus sp. and Ischnocnema cf. parva) may represent undescribed taxa. Our records expand the distribution range of one species (Scinax trapicheiroi) to the north, and fill a geographic distribution gap for another one (Ischnocnema oea). The estimated overall density of frogs living in the leaf litter of the fragment (based on results of plot sampling) was 3.1 individuals/100 m², with Haddadus binotatus being the most abundant species (2.4 individuals/100 m²). Comparisons of our data with those of other studies suggest that anuran communities in forest fragments ca. 1,000 ha or smaller may be severely limited in their richness, and often include a large proportion of species tolerant to open areas, such as many hylids. Our results show the importance of increasing knowledge about the anurofaunal community of the northern portion of the State of Rio de Janeiro and preserve the forest remnants that still exist in the region.

We present a new record of Lewis’s Woodpecker, Melanerpes lewis (Gray, 1849), a rare winter visitor to northern Mexico, in a riparian-grassland corridor at La Regina, Buenaventura Municipality, Chihuahua, on 11–12 January 2014. The record represents the fourth record of this species in the state, and the first record for both the northern portion of the Chihuahua region and the Mexican ecoregion level IV “Foothills and Plains with grasslands, xerophytic scrub and conifer oak forests”. We also comment on its current status and distribution in Mexico.

Resumen:Antecedentes y Objetivos: La familia Bromeliaceae en México está integrada por 422 especies, de las cuales en Veracruz se encuentran 96(22.7%); diez de ellas son endémicas al estado. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar y reportar las especies de bromeliáceas que no se habían registrado previamente para la entidad.Métodos: Se realizaron exploraciones botánicas en diferentes regiones del estado de Veracruz como parte de la investigación de dos tesis doctorales. Adicionalmente se revisaron las colecciones de Bromeliaceae en los herbarios CORU y XAL. Resultados clave: Se documentan nuevos registros para el estado de Veracruz de dos especies del género Tillandsia (T. bourgaei y T. roseoscapa) y de una especie del género Pitcairnia (P. xanthocalyx). Una especie más (Tillandsia prodigiosa) representa un redescubrimiento para la flora estatal. Finalmente, se presenta información sobre la distribución y el hábitat, así como fotografías de cada una las especies.Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos, en conjunto con otros nuevos registros reportados previamente, confirman que la zona centro del estado de Veracruz, especialmente la zona Córdoba-Orizaba-Zongolica había permanecido, hasta hace poco, pobremente estudiada desde el punto de vista florístico. Resalta la importancia de la vegetación xerófila presente en el área, en la cual habitan especies que se comparten con la flora del Valle de Tehuacán-Cuicatlán. Lo mismo aplica para la porción norte del estado, en la región del Totonacapan, la cual también ha recibido escasa atención de los botánicos mexicanos.Palabras clave: Pitcairnia, primer registro, redescubrimiento, Tillandsia. Abstract:Background and Aims: The Bromeliaceae family in Mexico is made up of 422 species, of which 96(22.7%) are found in Veracruz. Ten of these species are endemic to the state. The objective of this study was to identify and report the bromeliad species that had not been recorded in the entity.Methods: Botanical expeditions were carried out in different regions of the state of Veracruz as part of the research of two doctoral theses. Additionally, collections of Bromeliaceae in the herbaria CORU and XAL were revised.Key results: We documented new state records for Veracruz of two species of the genus Tillandsia (T. bourgaei y T. roseoscapa) and one species of Pitcairnia (P. xanthocalyx). Another species (Tillandsia prodigiosa) represents a rediscovery for the state´s flora. Finally, information regarding distribution and habitat, as well as photographs of each species, are presented. Conclusions: The results obtained, together with other new previously reported records, confirm that the central zone of Veracruz state, especially the Córdoba-Orizaba-Zongolica zone, had remained, until recently, poorly studied from the floristic point of view, highlighting the importance of xerophytic vegetation present in the area, where species occur that are shared with the flora of Tehuacán-Cuicatlán valley. The same applies to the northern portion of the state, in the Totonacapan region, which has received little attention from Mexican botanists.Key words: first record, Pitcairnia, rediscovery, Tillandsia.

In the present study we monitored a population of Nyctimantis brunoi, a species commonly found in restingas of southeastern Brazil. Field activities were carried out in the Parque Nacional da Restinga de Jurubatiba (PNRJ), a protected area located in the northern portion of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Specimens were sampled through a complete species inventory. We analyzed 218 individuals, 32 (14.7%) of which have anomalies. Additionally, a subsample of 15 specimens were radiographed to verify the occurrence of skeletal anomalies not externally detectable and to verify if the classification of anomalies attributed by means of external examination are detectable in the osteological structure of the specimen. There are 12 types of anomalies recognized in this population, three of them only detectable through internal investigation (radiography). We verified that most of anomalies externally detectable were correctly classified when compared to the osteological morphology of the radiographed specimens. Thus, in this investigation, the study of external malformations was capable to detect 60% of the types of anomalies. We conclude that further ecotoxicological and epidemiological studies of the population of N. brunoi in the PNRJ are necessary to establish the origins of anomalies in this species.

Eryngium has about 220 species, mostly distributed in subtropical and temperate regions of all continents. With about 60 species, the genus is widely distributed in Brazil, being present in all states of the country. Its species are perennial or biennial plants that preferentially colonize terrestrial, aquatic and rocky substrates. They usually have an erect or creeping habit, with rosulate leaves and white, blue or purple flowers. Within Apiaceae, the genus can be easily distinguished from the other genera by its capitulate inflorescences and by having a single bract per flower. We present the first taxonomic treatment for the genus in the state of Paraná, which is based on herbarium collections and fieldwork across the state. In total, 25 species were recorded. Of these, seven are endemic to Brazil. Eryngium aloifolium and E. regnelli are new records for Paraná. Fifteen species grow in native grasslands at high elevations, whereas one species is restricted to remnants of savannas in the northern portion of the state (E. rochei). Identification key, descriptions, illustrations, distributions maps, and taxonomic comments are provided.

A somewhat detailed description of the surface deposits of North-eastern Iowa, with references to observations of a similar nature in other localities, and some general conclusions, was read by the author before the American Association at its St. Louis meeting, and is printed in the Proceedings for 1878. Since the preparation of that paper additional observations have been made in the same region; and some other localities, mainly in the State of Illinois, have been visited. A general section has been made across the northern portion of this State, from the Mississippi on the west to Lake Michigan on this east, at about 42° N. lat. A like section has been made the greater part of the length of the State from north to south, at about long. 89° W. from Greenwich. The data employed in the construction of these sections were chiefly derived from personal observations on the surface, in channels of erosion, and in artificial excavations on the surface, in channels of erosion, and in artificial excavations; but use has also been made of observations of other persons, collected by means of extensive inquiries from, and correspondence with, local geologists and others. In Iowa a formation, believed to be distinct from any previously described, has been discovered, and a rather anomalous distribution of the member considered to be the equivalent of the loess has been brought to light. Several åsar, which seem to be homologous with those of Scandinavia, have also been traced over some distance.
