Pseudolithoxus kelsorum is described as a new species based on type material from the upper Orinoco in Amazonas State, Venezuela. Pseudolithoxus kelsorum is diagnosed from all other Pseudolithoxus by having dark brown to black base color with eight to 11 (usually nine) light yellow vertical or oblique transversal bands between orbits and caudal fin, bands wide and rarely but sometimes incomplete or contorted as swirls (vs. dark brown to black base color with 18 or more thin, light yellow, frequently contorted transversal bands between orbits and caudal fin in P. tigris; black base color with small white spots in P. anthrax and P. nicoi; and light brown base color with dark brown to black spots in P. dumus). Distributions of P. kelsorum and other Ancistrini taxa support the presence of a zoogeographic filter limiting fish distributions across a reach of the Orinoco River between the Ventuari-Orinoco confluence and the Maipures rapids.

MALE.—Expands 2.2 to 2.4 inches.Upper side brown-orange, color of C. Californica Boisd.; occasional examples are dark, a dead-leaf-brown over whole surface; hind margins edged by a blackish border, of nearly equal width throughout, and extending to apex of primaries; but sometimes this border is widest on primaries; costa of primaries dark brown; in some examples this shade scarcely if at all crosses costal nervure, in others it encroaches on the cell more or less, and occasionally covers the whole cell; but in nearly all examples under view the cell is concolored with rest of wing; the oblique discal brown band, which is a conspicuous feature in the males of the allied species, does not appear in the present one, so far as the examples show; the coloration of the upper surface resembles that of the female of Californica; on secondaries, the costal margin is edged with brown, and just outside the end of cell is an expansion of this, which forms a large elongated patch, convex on interior side—not at all like the sub-triangular and small patch seen in Californica and Iduna; primaries have a black ocellus, rounded or oval, with white pupil on upper discoidal interspace, and a second on second median interspace, the last one usually blind, but sometimes pupillated; generally the lower ocellus is smallest, but occasionally is equal to the upper; one example under view has two additional black spots, as large as the ocellus on secondaries, one on the interspace next above each ocellus; another has mere points on these interspaces; secondaries have a small ocellus, either blind or with white pupil, in second median interspace; fringes of both wings alternately yellow white and brown-black.

P. Dion.Male—Expands 1.2 inch.Upper side has the disk, cell and basel areas pale fulvous, the latter much obscured ; costal margin also fulvous, but obscured, and inclining to red in the sub-costal interspaces; the apex and hind margin broadly bordered with fuscous; stigma long, narrow, formed by two velvety-black spots, the lower one a little back of the line of the other; the black arc of cell forms a continuation of stigma and joins a dark stripe which runs along upper side of subcostal to base, the whole forming a sub-triangular inscription such as is seen in Arpa. Secondaries have the disk to base obscure fulvous, but there is a clear fulvous ray on the outer part of this area.

Two New Species

Lasiancistrus (Loricariidae: Hypostominae: Ancistrini) is diagnosed by the unique presence of a ventral strut of the pterotic and the presence of whiskerlike odontodes on the snout. Lasiancistrus has about 16 species assigned to it; however, only four are valid (L. schomburgkii, L. caucanus, L. guacharote, and L. heteracanthus), L. nationi is an Ancistrus, and L. trinitatus is incertae sedis in the Loricariidae. Lasiancistrus maracaiboensis and L. mystacinus are synonyms of L. guacharote; L. pictus, L. castelnaui, L. caquetae, L. guapore, L. multispinis, and L. scolymus are synonyms of L. schomburgkii; and L. planiceps, L. mayoloi, and L. volcanensis are synonyms of L. caucanus. Two new species are described: L. tentaculatus from the río Orinoco basin and L. saetiger from the rio Guama. The species can largely be told apart via color (L. schomburgkii has no or white spots on the fins, L. saetiger has entirely gray fins, and the rest have black spots in the fins), the presence of abdominal plates (L. caucanus, L. saetiger, and L. tentaculatus have naked abdomens, L. guacharote has a few small plates near the insertion of the pectoral fin, L. heteracanthus has a large patch of small plates, and L. schomburgkii is variable), and nuptial male condition (L. tentaculatus has small tentacles along the edge of the snout and the other species have a patch of whisker-like odontodes at the corners of the snout). Most species are widespread in piedmont regions of South America with L. schomburgkii occurring in the Amazon, Orinoco, and Essequibo basins.

Upper side blackish-brown ; primaries have the costal margin to cell and nearly to apex densely covered with fulvous ; the basal area and the inner margin sprinkled with fulvous scales; and the cell wholly deep fulvous except towards the outer end, where through the middle runs an oar-shaped blackish stripe; midway between cell and apex an elongated yellow-white spot, cut into three by the sub-costal nervules, the one of these spots nearest costa nearly lost in the fulvous ground ; across the disk an oblique band of yellow-white spots, the upper one small and in the upper discoidal interspace, placed a little outside the costal spot, the lower one in the submedian interspace, the spots widening as they proceed towards inner margin, and the 3rd and 4th deeply excavated on the outer side.

LYCAENA ASTER.Male.—Expands 1 inch.Upper side purplish-blue, the costal margin of primaries silvery; both hind margins narrowly eaged black; secondaries have a marginal series of black points or minute spots; fringes white.Under side white; primaries have the hind margin edged by a fuscous line thickened at each nervule; a submarginal row of rounded black spots entirely across the wing, and parallel to the margin; a discal row of smaller spots in a curve from costa to lower median interspace, the next spot below out of and behind the line; on the arc a thick bar. Secondaries have an oblong, rounded, fuscous spot at the end of each nervule, but otherwise the edge is white; a submarginal series of metallic points, each of which is overlaid by orange, and above this a black crescent; a discal series of black points, following the costal margin from base, and running parallel with hind margin to lower median interspace, after which there are two spots back of the line; on arc a streak, a dot nearer base, and another below cell.

A New Species

A new species of Guianacara is described from tributaries of the Essequibo River and the rio Branco in Guyana and northern Brazil. Guianacara dacrya, new species, can be diagnosed from all congeners by the possession of a unique infraorbital stripe and by the shape of the lateral margin of the lower pharyngeal jaw tooth plate. Guianacara dacrya can be further distinguished from G. geayi, G. owroewefi, G. sphenozona and G. stergiosi by the possession of a thin midlateral bar, from G. cuyunii by the possession of dusky branchiostegal membranes and from G. oelemariensis by the possession of two supraneurals. This species differs from most congeners by the presence of white spots on the spiny portion of the dorsal fin, the placement of the midlateral spot, the presence of filaments on the dorsal, anal and in rare cases the caudal-fin and from at least the Venezuelan species by several morphometric variables. Guianacara dacrya is known from the Essequibo, Takutu and Ireng River basins of Guyana and possibly from the rio Uraricoera in the rio Branco basin in Brazil. A key to the species is provided.

Two new species of Kaempferia L. (Zingiberaceae), Kaempferia nemoralis Insis. sp. nov. and Kaempferia pascuorum Insis. sp. nov., from Cambodia and Lao PDR are described and illustrated. Morphological similarities to their closely related taxa are discussed. Kaempferia nemoralis Insis. sp. nov. is compared with Kaempferia larsenii Sirirugsa in its vegetative parts, but distinguished by the following characters: whole plant taller, leaf sheath and young shoot apex green, petiole absent. It differs from Kaempferia rotunda L. in its floral parts by the following characters: presence of peduncle, floral tube longer, labellum purple with white line at centre, anther crest obovate, bifid, apex irregularly rounded and ovary glabrous. Kaempferia pascuorum Insis. sp. nov. is compared with Kaempferia larsenii Sirirugsa. Proposed IUCN conservation assessments are also given: Kaempferia nemoralis Insis. sp. nov. occurs in disturbed, open forest and is assessed as CR, whereas Kaempferia pascuorum Insis. sp. nov. occurs in short grassland and is assessed as EN.
