A New Species

Cololejeunea reniformis is described as new based on a single collection from Tully Falls National Park in north-east Queensland. Cololejeunea reniformis is similar to C. cairnsiana in the size and the falcate leaf lobes and ampulliform lobules, which are distinctive features among Australian species. While C. cairnsiana is epiphyllous, the single known gathering of C. reniformis was found on bark, and the two species differ in a number of micromorphological characters. Cololejeunea reniformis differs from C. cairnsiana in having a vitta two or three cells wide, and a stylus two or three cells tall, rather than a vitta 1 cell row wide and a stylus of a single cell. Cololejeunea reniformis shares many micromorphological features with the south-east Asian C. ensifera but differs in its smaller size and falcate leaf lobes, in addition to other characters. Thirty-nine Cololejeunea species are now known for Australia.

Long-standing observations of plants named by Yu. D. Zinserling (1939) Sorbus graeca (Spach) Lodd. ex S. Schauer var. orbiculata Zinserl., nom. inval., descr. ross., and later described by us as S. umbellata (Desf.) Fritsch var. orbiculata Gabrielian (1978), allowed to identify significant additional features to clearly distinguish them from typical plants of S. graeca. We propose to consider these plants as an independent species S. orbiculata (Gabrielian) Gabrielian, comb. et stat. nov. Distinctive features of this species from S. graeca, as well as from other closely related species S. umbellata and S. taurica Zinserl. are shown.

A New Species

Drosophilidae were collected from three Torres Strait islands: Thursday, Moa and Mount Adolphus. A total of 17 species of the six genera Drosophila, Mycodrosophila, Lissocephala, Sphaerogastrella, Microdrosophila and Leucophenga were collected, the largest island having the most diverse fauna. The new Torres Strait records given here extend the known distributions of several Australian species and link the ranges of other species found in Australia with south-east Asian records. A new species of the subgenus Scaptodrosophila, Drosophila moana, is described. An unidentified taxon of the south-east Asian nmuta subgroup, possessing entire frontal pollinosity, is also recorded.

Semi Arid

Through a 3-year survey of 9 stations in North East of Algeria, we recorded 16 species of grasshopper belonging to thefamily Pamphagidae. The National Park of Belezma, near Batna city, appears to be the richest region for this family, with10 species. Notably, Paracinipe sulphuripes, only known from Djelfa, is present at Belezma, showing unexpected rela-tionship between these two areas, separated by 280 km. Within the Pamphagus djelfensis complex, a new species is de-scribed, P. batnensis Benkenana & Petit, easily distinguishable by its epiphallic characters. Taking into account severalstudies dealing with other Algerian stations, we provide certain climatic constraints of most species, as illustrated by bio-climagrams. We show that the semi-arid stage with fresh winter and sub-humid stage with cold winter correspond to the most suitable conditions for this family.

Scrophularia dianatnejadii Ranjbar & Rahchamani, a new species from Tehran Province in northern Iran, is described and illustrated. It is closely related to S. amplexicaulis Benth. and shares with it some diagnostic morphological characters such as habit, plant indument, phyllotaxy, and corolla shape and color. Both species are placed in Scrophularia L. sect. Mimulopsis Boiss. Macro- and micromorphological characters of the two are examined and compared. Pollen morphology of these species is investigated using SEM. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, distribution maps, and conservation status of both species are provided.

A New Species

A new species of Iguanidae Liolaemini lizard from the San Guillermo National Park in western Argentina, is described. The new species is a member of the Liolaemus darwinii complex within the monophyletic boulengeri species group. It is distinguished by its small body size, relatively long tail, low number of scales around midbody, dorsal scales moderately keeled, precloacal pores only in male, bulged patch of enlarged scales on the proximal posterior surface of the thigh in both sexes, dorsal pattern lacking of light vertebral or dorsolateral stripes, antehumeral fold without black pigment in female but greyish in male, a prescapular dark dot dorsal to antehumeral fold in both sexes, and postscapular spot absent. The new species is terrestrial, living in habitats with gravel and sandy soil in an Andean Monte landscape with sparse vegetation, above 2270 meters of altitude.

A New Species

Abstract During a parasitological survey of fishes at Iguazu National Park, Argentina, specimens belonging to the allocreadiid genus Auriculostoma were collected from the intestine of Characidium heirmostigmata. The erection of the new species is based on a unique combination of morphological traits as well as on phylogenetic analysis. Auriculostoma guacurarii n. sp. resembles four congeneric species – Auriculostoma diagonale, Auriculostoma platense, Auriculostoma tica and Auriculostoma totonacapanensis – in having smooth and oblique testes, but can be distinguished by a combination of several morphological features, hosts association and geographic distribution. Morphologically, the new species can be distinguished from both A. diagonale and A. platense by the egg size (bigger in the first and smaller in the last); from A. tica by a shorter body length, the genital pore position and the extension of the caeca; and from A. totonacapanensis by the size of the oral and ventral sucker and the post-testicular space. Additionally, one specimen of Auriculostoma cf. stenopteri from the characid Charax stenopterus (Characiformes) from La Plata River, Argentina, was sampled and the partial 28S rRNA gene was sequenced. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. guacurarii n. sp. clustered with A. tica and these two as sister taxa to A. cf. stenopteri. The new species described herein is the tenth species in the genus and the first one parasitizing a member of the family Crenuchidae.

A new Tardigrada species, Claxtonia goni sp. nov. is described from specimens collected in the central area of the Haleakalā National Park, the island of Maui, Hawaii, U.S.A. The new species and Clx. pardalis (Degma & Schill, 2015) together with several examples of Clx. wendti (Richters, 1903) are the only known Claxtonia species with the plates having an intracuticular pattern resembling that on a leopard’s fur. Claxtonia goni sp. nov. differs from Clx. pardalis in the absence of pores on leg plates, in smaller and uniform pores on dorso-lateral plates, in very unequally spaced teeth in the dentate collar, in lesser ratio of internal cephalic cirrus and lateral cirrus A lengths, and in relatively shorter claws in fourth pair of legs. The differences between the new species and the other congeners as well as Echiniscus species with the same cirri composition and similar cuticular sculpture are also defined. The diagnosis of the genus Claxtonia is amended and three Echiniscus species are transferred into the genus with the proposed new combinations: Claxtonia aliquantilla (Grigarick, Schuster & Nelson, 1983) comb. nov., Clx. mosaica (Grigarick, Schuster & Nelson, 1983) comb. nov. and Clx. nigripustula (Horning, Schuster & Grigarick, 1978) comb. nov..

A New Species

A new species of Tomoptema, T. krugerensis, sp. n., has been recorded from the Kruger National Park, Republic of South Africa.Morphologically it is very similar to T. delalandei cryptotis (Boulenger) but the mating call is markedly different from that of the other members of the genus and this is coupled with small but consistent morphological differences.T. krugerensis sp. n. is known to occur only on a portion of the western fringe of the vast sandveld areas of Mozambique, but possibly has a much wider distribution. Mating call, calling behaviour, eggs, early development and defence mechanisms are described. The affinities of the new form are discussed and the mating calls of other members of the genus are reviewed. Mating call is again shown to be a sensitive non-morphological taxonomic tool.
