Botanical exploration of Angola was virtually impossible during the almost three-decade-long civil war. With more areas becoming accessible, there is, however, a revived interest in the flora of this country. A total of 27 members of the genus Aloe L. have been recorded for Angola. It is not unlikely that new taxa will be discovered, and that the distribution ranges of others will be expanded now that botanical exploration in Angola has resumed. This manuscript provides a complete taxonomic treatment of the known Aloe taxa in Angola. It includes, amongst other information, identification keys, descriptions and distribution maps.

AbstractThe small waterstriders of the subfamily Trepobatinae have radiated extensively on New Guinea and surrounding archipelagos. The present contribution is the first in a series of reports dealing with this endemic fauna, and presents a revised tribal level classification for the Trepobatinae, with the following new tribes proposed: Metrobatini, type genus Metrobates Uhler; Naboandelini, type genus Naboandelus Distant; Stenobatini, type genus Stenobates Esaki; Trepobatini, type genus Trepobates Uhler. A key to the tribes is provided, followed by a taxonomic treatment of the new tribe Metrobatini and its constituent genera. The following new taxa are proposed within Metrobatini: Andersenella gen. n., monobasic, type species Andersenella binotata sp. n.; Metrobatoides gen. n., monobasic, type species Metrobatoides genitalis sp. n.; Ciliometra gen. n., including type species Ciliometra kiunga sp. n., plus Ciliometra femorata sp. n. and Ciliometra sepik sp. n.; Iobates gen. n., including type species Metrobatopsis affinis Esaki (as Iobates affinis, comb. n.), plus Iobates salaw ati sp. n. and Iobates somare sp. n.; Stygiobates gen. n., including type species Stygiobates iriana sp. n., plus Stygiobates morotai sp. n.; Metrobatopsis insularis sp. n., Metrobatopsis mussau sp. n., Metrobatopsis lannae sp. n. and Metrobatopsis browni sp. n. in the previously described genus Metrobatopsis Esaki. The genus Metrobatopsis and previously included species Metrobatopsis flavonotatus Esaki and Metrobatopsis solomonensis Hungerford & Matsuda are redescribed. Habitat and distributional notes are given for all the above taxa, accompanied by figures of key characters and distribution maps.

The Udoteaceae are ubiquitous and ecologically important in tropical marine ecosystems. Apart from primary producers, calcified representatives contribute to the construction and sedimentation of reefs. In this study, we present the taxonomic treatment of Udoteaceae from Bahia coast. Based on collected material and on material deposited in the main Brazilian herbaria, 10 taxa, distributed in three genera, were recognized: Boodleopsis (B. pusilla), Penicillus (P. capitatus, including three forms), and Udotea (4 species, 2 varieties, and 2 forms). Identification keys for the taxa are presented, along with descriptions, illustrations, comparisons with related taxa, and distribution maps for species in Bahia.

In this study, we systematized available distribution data, obtained from biological databases and relevant literature, for Mexican species belonging to the tribe Phanaeini. The main objectives were to provide an overall description of the distribution records in biological collections, to detect potential sampling biases, to describe the seasonality of collections and to obtain species distribution models using the Desktop GARP algorithm. A total of 5,562 records, corresponding to 32 species in Mexico, were compiled, including the recently described Phanaeus zoque Moctezuma & Halffter, 2017. This compilation includes 784 unique collection records at 325 localities. These records were mainly distributed along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental mountain ranges and throughout the states of Chiapas and Veracruz. The Mexican High Plateau, the state of Tlaxcala and the Yucatan Peninsula are lacking in records. Distribution maps were created for species of three genera (Phanaeus MacLeay, 1819, Coprophanaeus Olsoufieff, 1924, and Sulcophanaeus Olsoufieff, 1924) and for 29 species present in Mexico. These species distributions are largely delimited by geomorphological features and vegetation types and coincide with expert descriptions of this tribe; some species show expanded distribution ranges. These maps provide a starting point for further analyses, the planning of future field studies, and the verification of possible new species in the Mexican territory.

Abstract A taxonomic treatment of the genera Turnera and Piriqueta in the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, is presented. Fourteen species of Turnera and six species of Piriqueta were found in the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga, of which nine are endemic to Brazil. Turnera pernambucensis is threatened and restricted to the Atlantic Forest of Pernambuco, while T. joelii is a new record for the state. The species predominate in steppe savanna and semideciduous seasonal forest, but several of them grow naturally in anthropized areas. Catimbau National Park is the locality with the highest species richness. Tristyly is recorded for the first time in Piriqueta guianensis. Identification keys, descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and comments about habitat, flowering, fruiting, and morphological relationships are provided.

Abstract The ‘smooth newt’, the taxon traditionally referred to as Lissotriton vulgaris, consists of multiple morphologically distinct taxa. Given the uncertainty concerning the validity and rank of these taxa, L. vulgaris sensu lato has often been treated as a single, polytypic species. A recent study, driven by genetic data, proposed to recognize five species, L. graecus, L. kosswigi, L. lantzi, L. schmidtleri and a more restricted L. vulgaris. The Carpathian newt L. montandoni was confirmed to be a closely related sister species. We propose to refer to this collective of six Lissotriton species as the smooth newt or Lissotriton vulgaris species complex. Guided by comprehensive genomic data from throughout the range of the smooth newt species complex we 1) delineate the distribution ranges, 2) provide a distribution database, and 3) produce distribution maps according to the format of the New Atlas of Amphibians and Reptiles of Europe, for the six constituent species. This allows us to 4) highlight regions where more research is needed to determine the position of contact zones.

This paper presents a study of the diversity and distribution of the Genus Eulophia, of the family Orchidaceae, in Uganda. Eulophia comprises varied patterned and coloured flowers; is being hybridized and has a high potential in the horticulture industry. Using data from available databases in Makerere University Institute of Environment and Natural Resources ‐ MUIENR (2000), Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew and Leapendemics 1995 and from the herbarium collections, together with information from the field surveys of selected wetlands, a checklist, and distribution map were developed. This allowed for mapping of species distribution ranges and identification of areas of high Eulophia species diversity. The distribution maps of this genus are expected to open new avenues of botanical research, and also to make informed decisions on maintenance, restoration or re‐ introductions in the future. The results show that there are thirty (30) species of Eulophia in Uganda. Their latitude and longitudinal ranges, altitude and habitats where they thrive are presented. Ground truthing for their presence was done with the major focus being in wetlands. From the field surveys, eight species were recorded. The paper concludes by highlighting that despite the rampant alterations in the habitats where Eulophia grows, some still are existent though their numbers are small in each patch. This is a major challenge to continued survival and sustainable management of this species.
