As encenações do capital no romantismo brasileiro
Authors: Santos Vivaldo Andrade dos
Published: September 2016

O ensaio faz uma releitura do romantismo, a partir da nova crítica econômica que tem despontado no campo da literatura nas últimas décadas. Interessa, em particular,pontuar, na ficção, na poesia e no teatro de cunho romântico, a relação dessas obras com as finanças, o dinheiro e o capital. Destaca-se, neste ensaio, o romance Senhora e a peça O crédito, ambos de José de Alencar, e os poemas “A minha desgraça” e “O editor”, de Álvares de Azevedo.

Sobre o instinto de americanidade da crítica literária romântica brasileira: Antonio de Macedo Soares (1838-1905)
Authors: Cairo Luiz Roberto
Published: September 2016

O presente trabalho pretende refletir sobre o americanismo ou instinto de americanidade, sentimento de pertença ao continente americano, que se manifesta paralelamente à construção da nacionalidade na literatura, conforme se observa na leitura de textos de críticos românticos brasileiros, como Macedo Soares.
Pai Tomás no romantismo brasileiro
Authors: Guimarães Hélio De Seixas
Published: September 2016

A cabana do pai Tomás (1851-2), de Harriet Beecher Stowe, um dos grandes fenômenos literários do século xix, teve repercussão significativa no meio literário brasileiro, conforme registros deixados por Macedo, Alencar, Bernardo Guimarães, Machado de Assis e Joaquim Nabuco. O artigo procura traçar os caminhos de chegada ao Brasil desse primeiro best-seller das Américas, que apenas em 1853 teve três traduções diferentes para o português, e seu impacto sobre as representações do escravo e da escravidão no Brasil.
A natureza-morta eloquente de Agostinho José da Motta: belas-artes e literatura no Segundo Reinado
Authors: Squeff Letícia
Published: September 2016

Uma acusação recorrente à arte brasileira do século XIX é que ela não se comprometeu com a especificidade da nação independente. A intenção deste texto é mostrar que os artistas participaram ativamente do processo de construção de uma cultura definida como brasileira. Também a pintura de natureza-morta partiu de modelos inspirados nas representações feitas pelos viajantes. Trata-se de mostrar, assim, não apenas as íntimas relações entre literatura e pintura no Oitocentos brasileiro, como também, e principalmente, o papel que as artes tiveram na fixação dos valores e símbolos associados à ideia de brasilidade durante o Império.

Artifícios dos paraísos
Authors: Manganaro Jean-Paul
Published: September 2016

Em 1841, a vida de Baudelaire é marcada pela impossível viagem no navio Paquebot-des-Mers-du-Sud. Pergunta-se: que influência terá ela na “poética maldita” do autor entre “L’Invitation au voyage”, de 1851, e o último poema das Flores do mal, “Le voyage”, de 1859?
Erotismo e política: em torno de algumas figurações femininas na transição do romantismo ao realismo poético
Authors: Camilo Vagner
Published: September 2016

O presente ensaio tem por objetivo examinar certas representações da mulher e do sexo que despontam entre os últimos românticos e ganham corpo com os “primeiros baudelairianos” no Brasil, fazendo convergir erotismo extremado (com notações perversas de sadismo e canibalismo amoroso) e alegoria política, na medida em que podem tomar o ato amoroso como síntese dos ideais liberais e republicanos.
Aí vem o Febrônio
Authors: Calil Carlos Augusto
Published: September 2016

Em 1927, dois crimes hediondos abalavam o Rio: os corpos de dois menores foram encontrados em Jacarepaguá. O pai de um deles reconheceu Febrônio Índio do Brasil como responsável. Mulato e homossexual, o suspeito publicara no ano anterior As Revelações do Príncipe do Fogo, escrito no presídio de Ilha Grande. Seus supostos crimes estavam envoltos em aura de misticismo combinada com sexualidade infrene. Pelo menos quatro escritores se interessaram pelo caso: Blaise Cendrars, Prudente de Morais Neto, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, e Mário de Andrade.
Ecos de Sade em Piva
Authors: Castro Clara Carnicero de
Published: September 2016

“Eu julgo tudo pelas sensações”, diz a protagonista da História de Juliette, grande romance clandestino de Sade. “Contra as responsabilidades pelas sensações”, diz o eu lírico do poema “A catedral da desordem”, de Roberto Piva. Conduzindo ao paroxismo a vulgata sensualista, o romancista forneceu os argumentos dos quais o poeta precisava para preconizar o desregramento integral das sensações e caucionar o exercício irresponsável e absoluto da liberdade. neste artigo, analisaremos os empréstimos que o autor brasileiro fez do francês, repertoriando e sublinhando as semelhanças entre os dois escritores “malditos”.
O tropismo tropical dos malditos franceses
Authors: Dumoulié Camille
Published: September 2016

Tropo, tropismo e tropical são termos que partilham a mesma raiz etimológica, remetendo simultaneamente ao giro e ao movimento. a experiência limite das formas, da linguagem e do afeto levou os “malditos” franceses a fazerem do “tropo”, da figura retórica, uma força do devir e da metamorfose que os colocou em contato com a vitalidade, imaginária ou real, dos Trópicos

Authors: Ricieri Francine Fernandes Weiss
Published: September 2016

Este texto toma como ponto de partida alguns textos em prosa de Alphonsus de Guimaraens para analisar aspectos do que seriam elementos racionais discerníveis em seu projeto poético. Tais elementos parecem permitir, ainda, estabelecer pontos de contato entre o escritor e alguns de seus referenciais de escrita poética, em especial Edgar Allan Poe e Charles Baudelaire.
O Moderno antes do Modernismo: paradoxos da pintura brasileira no nascimento da República
Authors: Simioni Ana Paula Cavalcanti , Stumpf Lúcia K.
Published: September 2016

O presente artigo discute a especificidade da pintura brasileira produzida durante a Primeira República (1889-1930), a qual não pode ser compreendida nem como uma continuidade harmônica em relação à tradição herdada pelo Império e nem mediante o rótulo de “pré-moderna”. A partir da interpretação de duas telas, Os descobridores, de Belmiro de Almeida, e Fundação da cidade de São Paulo, de Antônio Parreiras, pretende-se examinar os sentidos políticos e culturais particulares que as obras engendram, os quais emanam dos momentos e condições específicos de sua produção, bem como da relação crítica que possuem para com a tradição acadêmica no país.

Entre o riso e a ruína: humor, romance e regionalismo em José Lins do Rego
Authors: Santini Juliana
Published: September 2016

Este trabalho propõe uma análise do romance Fogo morto, publicado em 1943 por José Lins do Rego, considerando de que modo o humor atua como instrumento que particulariza a narrativa no conjunto da ficção do autor. O texto propõe que o humor articula crítica e análise psicológica na definição de parte do romance regionalista da “geração de 30” no modernismo brasileiro.
Lúcia / Miguel: romance e crítica
Authors: Roncari Luiz
Published: September 2016

O estudo tem em vista mostrar como Lúcia Miguel Pereira procurou reunir num trabalho de criação os resultados da pesquisa e da crítica literária. Como se dedicou seriamente a essas diferentes atividades e tinha muita consciência de suas diferenças, tal fato pode ter-lhe trazido ganhos e perdas. Para tanto, este ensaio investiga a hipótese de ela ter se aproveitado da novela Casa Velha, de Machado de Assis, — cujo resgate e publicação em livro se deveu a ela própria — na construção de seu último romance, Cabra-Cega
Conceptual Blending with moral accounting Metaphors in Christian Exegesis
Authors: Gomola Aleksander
Published: September 2016

The paper argues for the crucial role of conceptual blending in creating and developing of Christian doctrine. It assumes that typological patristic exegesis of the early Christian period, viewed through the lens of Conceptual Blending Theory, may be regarded as a series of conceptual integration processes, with typological blends as building blocks of Christian doctrine, including the doctrine of salvation. To prove this, the paper discusses selected Adam-Christ typological blends present in the writings of the early Christian authors, seeing in them linguistic realizations of moral accounting metaphor that underlies the doctrine of salvation and demonstrating in this way a key role of conceptual integration in shaping Christian doctrine.
Phylogenetic position and independent generic status of Indocypraea (Asteraceae-Heliantheae-Ecliptinae): evidence from chloroplast DNA sequences
Authors: REN CHEN
Published: September 2016

Indocypraea (Asteraceae-Heliantheae-Ecliptinae) is a newly-erected monotypic genus, containing only I. montana. Historically, this species has been variously included in Verbesina, Wedelia, and Wollastonia, and its position has never been investigated from a molecular phylogenetic perspective. Based on chloroplast DNA sequences, I revealed that I. montana is only remotely related to these genera, and is sister to Synedrella with strong support. This topology is also significantly favored by the statistical topology tests. The generic status of Indocypraea is further supported by the achenes brownish yellow and densely dotted with white or yellowish white mottles, and a base chromosome number of x = 37, both of which are distinct in the subtribe Ecliptinae. Additionally, I clarify the identity of Wedelia wallichii var. megalantha, and synonymize it with I. montana.
Peckoltia sabaji, a new species from the Guyana Shield (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)
Authors: ARMBRUSTER JONATHAN W.
Published: September 2016

Peckoltia sabaji is described based on specimens from the Guyana Shield regions of the Essequibo, Negro, and Orinoco River drainages of Guyana and Venezuela. Peckoltia sabaji is a member of the loricariid subfamily Hypostominae, tribe Ancistrini. The species differs from nearly all other members of the Hypostominae based on coloration — small spots on the head with spots becoming very large on the posterior part of the body. Those species with a similar coloration either do not have elongated bodies (vs. body very elongate) or have odontodes on the opercle as adults (vs. odontodes on opercle absent, rarely with one or two odontodes in adults).

These include: Ophiacanthidae (Ophiolebes); Ophiomyxidae (Ophiolycus, Renetheo n. gen.); and Ophiuridae (Amphiophiura, Ophiocten, Ophiophycis, Ophiura (Dictenophiura), Ophiura (Ophiuroglypha), Ophiomidas, and Ophiophyllum). Keys are provided to the described species of Ophiophycis and 4 closely related species of Amphiophiura occurring around New Zealand.
Kalliapseudes (Mesokalliapseudes) macsweenyi, a new species of Kalliapseudidae (Crustacea: Tanaidacea: Apseudomorpha) from mangroves in Florida
Authors: DRUMM DAVID T.
Published: September 2016

Kalliapseudes (Mesokalliapseudes) macsweenyi n. sp., is described from a tidal mangrove creek in Dania Beach, Florida. Of the four currently recognized species of Kalliapseudes (Mesokalliapseudes) Lang, 1956, K. macsweenyi most closely resembles K. crassus Menzies, 1953, a congener from the Pacific coast of Mexico. K. macsweenyi is distinguished from this species by having a rounded rostrum. It can be distinguished from the other three members of the subgenus by: the shape of the pereonites and the fixed finger of the female chelipedal propodus being approximately two-thirds the length of the dactylus. K. macsweenyi is unique in having a smooth and blunt triangular projection coming off the fourth peduncular antennal article.
Notes on the genus Iracema Pérez-Miles, 2000 with the first description of the male of I. horrida (Schmidt, 1994) (Araneae: Theraphosidae)
Authors: BERTANI ROGÉRIO , CARLA-DA-SILVA SILVIA
Published: September 2016

The formerly unknown male of Paraphysa horrida is described and the species transferred to the genus Iracema. This genus is rediagnosed and can be recognized by having the combination of the following characters: type IV of urticating hairs, bulb resting in a ventral distal excavation of the male palpal tibia, male metatarsus I touching both branches of tibial spur when flexed, labium with less than 20 labial cuspules, and presence of many spiniform setae on the prolateral and retrolateral sides of maxillae and coxae I-IV.
Description of a new species of Ovaticoccus Kloet (Hemiptera: Coccoidea, Eriococcidae) from Belize, with remarkably large hind coxae and causing leaf-curl galls
Authors: WILLIAMS D. J. , MARTIN J. H.
Published: September 2016

A new species of eriococcid scale insect, Ovaticoccus amplicoxae, is described from Belize. The species has enormous hind coxae, unlike any described so far in this genus, or in related genera. In life, the species galls the leaves to such an extent that it has been impossible to identify the host plant.
Two new and unusual genera of millipedes (Diplopoda: Polydesmida) from Tasmania, Australia
Authors: MESIBOV ROBERT
Published: September 2016

Procophorella innupta n. gen., n. sp. (type species) and P. bashfordi n. sp., and Paredrodesmus taurulus n. gen., n. sp. (type species), P. aceriodendron n. sp., P. australis n. sp., P. bicalcar n. sp., P. monticolus n. sp. and P. purpureus n. sp. are described. Both new genera are ‘head + 19 segments’ Polydesmida (head + 17 podous rings + 1 apodous ring + telson) with the uncommon pore formula 5, 7–18. P. bicalcar is unusual in having a long mesal process on the leg 1 prefemur and an epiproct divided into two large spurs, while leg 2 in P. taurulus has greatly inflated podomeres and a massive claw. Although Paredrodesmus and Procophorella are referable to the suborder Dalodesmidea Hoffman, 1977, their family placement is uncertain.
Neolamprologus devosi sp. n., a new riverine lamprologine cichlid (Teleostei, Cichlidae) from the lower Malagarasi River, Tanzania
Authors: SCHELLY ROBERT , STIASSNY MELANIE L.J. , SEEGERS LOTHAR
Published: September 2016

Neolamprologus devosi sp. n., a new species of riverine lamprologine cichlid is described from the lower Malagarasi River, Tanzania. The new species is tentatively placed within the poorly defined genus Neolamprologus, though generic reassignment may be necessary once ongoing work on the phylo-geny and classification of lamprologines is completed. Notably, Neolamprologus devosi sp. n. does not present characters diagnostic of Congo (ex-Zaire) River lamprologines, and contrary to previous suggestions appears to be phylogenetically distinct from those taxa. This raises questions regarding the number of putative riverine colonizations of lamprologines from a lacustrine source.

The type specimens were taken in Afghanistan, north of Jäläläbad, in 1948. Based on three workers and a queen, it is most similar to the species of the rubra-group.
George Perry’s molluscan taxa and notes on the editions of his Conchology of 1811
Authors: PETIT RICHARD E.
Published: September 2016

The molluscan taxa named by George Perry in his two publications, the Arcana; or the museum of natural history:, etc., published in 1810–1811, and the Conchology of 1811 are listed with notations on their current status, some figures being identified to the species level for the first time, some being placed in the synonymy of earlier names and others declared nomina dubia. Five species that are identified as previously unused senior subjective synonyms of names in current usage and one unused senior primary homonym are declared nomina oblita. Those declared herein to be nomina oblita are: Triplex cornuta Perry, 1811; Buccinella quadrata Perry, 1811; Cassis rotundata Perry, 1811; Aranea tentacula Perry, 1811; Buccinella tuberculata Perry, 1811; and Solen viride [sic; correctly viridis]. The names conserved are, respectively: Murex brevifrons Lamarck, 1822; Cancellaria spengleriana Deshayes, 1830; Cassis madagascariensis Lamarck, 1822; Murex cabritii Bernardi, 1859; Turbinella [now Vasum] globulus Lamarck, 1816; and Solen viridis Say, 1822.Three Perry species are shown to be senior synonyms of names in current use but do not qualify for nomen oblitum status under the Code. They are: Tellina aurea Perry, 1811; Triplex rosaria Perry, 1811; and Voluta pattersonia Perry, 1811. Junior subjective synonyms affected by these three are, respectively: Tellina vulsella Hanley, 1845; Chicoreus palmarosae (Lamarck, 1822); and Lyria nucleus (Lamarck, 1811). Type species designations for Perry’s genera are listed and type species are designated for Columna and Strigula. The treatment of Perry’s Conchology by other authors is discussed. Three distinct editions of the Conchology are identified. Perry’s Arcana is the subject of another paper now in preparation but its mollusks are treated herein.

Published: September 2016

We describe a new species, Pseudopaludicola canga, from the Serra dos Carajás highlands in Brazilian Amazonian forest. The new species is a member of the Pseudopaludicola pusilla group and is characterized mainly by its large size. The described species may represent another endemic species of the Serra dos Carajás.
Sparisoma tuiupiranga, a new species of parrotfish (Perciformes: Labroidei: Scaridae) from Brazil, with comments on the evolution of the genus
Authors: GASPARINI JOÃO LUIZ , JOYEUX JEAN-CHRISTOPHE , FLOETER SERGIO R.
Published: September 2016

Sparisoma tuiupiranga sp. n. is described from the holotype and six paratypes obtained from two coastal islands of southeastern Brazil (20° S). The species shares with S. atomarium (Poey) a number of characteristics, including the single mid-ventral scale posterior to the insertion of the pelvic fins. It differs in respect to numerous other characters, among them heavier body proportions (body depth 42.5–47.0 %SL vs. 33.2–36.5 in S. atomarium), longer snout (13.1–14.6 %SL vs. 9.4–10.6), smaller orbit diameter (6.0–7.9 %SL vs. 8.0–10.2), higher gill raker number (17–18 vs. 12–16), darker terminal phase color (both in life and alcohol-preserved), and larger size (to 154.4mm SL vs. about 81). The known distribution extends from about 18° S to 27° S in the western Atlantic. This predominantly scraping species inhabits rocky reefs and associated macroalgae beds. The clade S. atomarium–S. tuiupiranga appears to be basal in the phylogeny of Sparisoma. The idea that one can partition scarinines and sparisomatines by historical association with different habitats (coral reefs vs. seagrass) seems too simplistic.

Kryptopterus platypogon, a new silurid catfish (Teleostei: Siluridae) from Borneo
Authors: NG HEOK HEE
Published: September 2016

Kryptopterus platypogon, a new species of silurid catfish is described from the Rajang River drainage in northern Borneo. Kryptopterus platypogon, together with K. hexapterus and K. cheveyi, can be distinguished from congeners by a combination of the absence of the dorsal fin, a stronglyarched dorsal profile with a pronounced nuchal concavity and palatal teeth in a single elliptical patch. Kryptopterus platypogon differs from K. hexapterus in having a more strongly-projecting lower jaw, larger eye (14.1% HL vs. 8.0 12.6), longer maxillary (135.6% HL vs. 40.0 120.4) and mandibular (119.3% HL vs. 32.3 80.0) barbels that are flattened and ribbon-like (vs. flattened, but ovoid in cross section), and more ventrally-placed eyes (about one quarter of the orbital margin visible when the head is viewed ventrally vs. orbital margin barely visible), and from K. cheveyi in having a strongly projecting lower jaw (vs. upper and lower jaws of equal length), more anal-fin rays (83 vs. 66 71), narrower head (8.6% SL vs. 9.7 12.3) and smaller eye (14.1% HL vs. 18.9 22.7).
Dragmaxia anomala sp.n. (Demospongiae: Halichondrida) from the southwestern Atlantic (Brazil)

Published: September 2016

A new species of Dragmaxia Hallmann, 1916 is described from the northern sector of the S o Paulo state coastline (Brazil), in the Tropical southwestern Atlantic. The new species, Dragmaxia anomala sp.n., differs from the other species of the genus, viz. D. variabilis (Whitelegge, 1907) and D. undata Alvarez et al., 1998, due to its raphides which are not acanthose.
Macrobiotus kovalevi, a new species of Tardigrada from New Zealand (Eutadigrada, Macrobiotidae)
Authors: TUMANOV D. V.
Published: September 2016

Three species of the family Macrobiotidae (Tardigrada) were extracted from mosses collected in New Zealand. One of them, Macrobiotus kovalevi, is new for science. It is similar to the species from the harmsworthi and furciger-orcadensis groups of the genus Macrobiotus. The new species differs from all known species of these groups by the structure of the buccal armature (very short medio-dorsal ridge and the absence of typically developed teeth) and the unique structure of the egg chorion. In the same sample Macrobiotus cf. coronatus De Barros and Calcarobiotus (Discrepun- guis) sp. were found.
An unusual new species of Paracnephia Rubtsov (Diptera: Simuliidae) from Western Australia
Authors: MOULTON JOHN K. , ADLER PETER H. , PRINCE JANE
Published: September 2016

Paracnephia gladiator is described from fast-flowing streams of the Jarrah Forest, Darling Plateau, Western Australia. Diagnostic characters are provided for all life stages after the egg. The generic assignment is tentative given the limited understanding of relationships among Gondwanan Simuliidae previously assigned to Prosimuliini. The M-shaped median sclerite of the male terminalia and the large calcipala suggest phylogenetic affinity with the Neotropical genera Araucnephia and Araucnephioides. The simple tarsal claw suggests that females are mammalophilic. Females are attracted to humans but do not bite.
Acraspisoides gen. nov. (Diptera: Therevidae: Agapophytinae): a new genus of stiletto-flies from Australia
Authors: HILL HILARY N. , WINTERTON SHAUN L.
Published: September 2016

A new Australian genus of Therevidae, Acraspisoides gen. nov., comprising a single species (A. helviarta sp. nov.) is described and illustrated. This new genus is placed within the subfamily Agapophytinae based on the presence of velutum patches on the fore and hind femora. Acraspisoides is easily separated from other agapophytine genera by the combination of characters: large ventral lobe on aedeagus, multiple rows of postocular setae in both sexes, antennae positioned low on frons, and wing cell m 3 closed. Cladistic analyses using all genera of Agapophytinae (including Acraspisoides) based on adult morphological characters and sequence data of the protein-encoding gene, elongation factor-1 (EF-1a ), were performed to determine the phylogenetic placement of Acraspisoides gen. nov. in the subfamily. Analysis of the combined morphological and molecular matrices produced two most parsimonious trees, placing Acraspisoides gen. nov. as the most basal genus of Agapophytinae.

Wrapped in flames: Corydoras hephaestus, a new remarkably colored species from the Rio Madeira basin (Teleostei: Callichthyidae)
Authors: OHARA WILLIAN MASSAHARU , TENCATT LUIZ F. C. , BRITTO MARCELO R.
Published: September 2016

A new species of Corydoras is described from the upper Rio Machado, Rio Madeira basin, Rondônia State, Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the absence of contact between the posterior process of the parieto-supraoccipital and the nuchal plate; a ventral laminar expansion of the infraorbital 1 conspicuously developed; and the posterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine with serrations along almost of its entire length, only lacking in the distal portion. Additionally, Corydoras hephaestus possesses dorsal and pectoral spines short, and exhibits an unusual color pattern in life. The conservation status of the new species and other endemic species are briefly commented.

The Neotropical genus Xiphiola Bolívar, 1896 is revised. It includes two valid species: Xiphiola borellii Giglio-Tos, 1900 and Xiphiola cyanoptera (Gerstaecker, 1889). The genus and the species are redescribed and diagnostic characters are provided along with illustrations of each species. A lectotype and paralectoype for X. cyanoptera are here designated. We also include new morphological characters from male and female genitalia, and external characters that have not been employed until now. We present the distribution map based on material examined, as well as a key to species.
The first indigenous species of the millipede genus Eurygyrus C.L. Koch, 1847 from the European mainland, with remarks on E. nicarius (Verhoeff, 1901) and E. euboeus (Verhoeff, 1901), and a key to the species of the genus (Diplopoda: Callipodida: Schizopetalidae)
Authors: STOEV PAVEL , ENGHOFF HENRIK
Published: September 2016

The genus Eurygyrus C.L. Koch, 1847 (Schizopetalidae) comprises 17 described species from Asia Minor and the Aegean islands, some of them the largest callipodidans in the world. Here, we describe E. peloponnesius sp. n., the first species from the Greek mainland, found in the Taygetos Mts. The holotypes of E. euboeus (Verhoeff, 1901) and E. nicarius (Verhoeff, 1901), both known only from females, are re-examined and are found both to be distinct from the new species. A key to all, but two species of Eurygyrus is included.

Steinernema apuliae sp. n. (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae): a new entomopathogenic nematode from southern Italy
Authors: TRIGGIANI ORESTE , MRÁCEK ZDENEK , REID ALEX
Published: September 2016

Steinernema apuliae sp. n. has been found in soil samples collected along a saltpan border habitat in southern Italy characterized by a salted silt soil. This species belongs to the long-IJ nematode group represented by Steinernema glaseri (Steiner, 1929) and Steinernema arenarium (Artyukhovsky, 1967) among others. However, it differs from these taxa in some morphometric values such as V%, H%. Females possess asymmetrical, oblique slit vulva, slant vagina and small flap in the vulval opening. These characteristics are more distinct in second generation females which is different from most other steinernematids; the vulva position is behind the mid-body about 57% to 61% of the body length. First-generation females have a conical-like tip bearing 2 to 3 papilla-like protuberances. Male mucron is absent in both generations. Lightly brown spicules have bluntly pointed tip and elongated manubrium. Third-stage infective juveniles are on average over 1000 m long; the position of the excretory pore is posterior (D% 66) and the hyaline layer is less than half the tail length (H% 41 42). Lateral fields are formed by 8 equally distributed ridges. S. apuliae differs from S. glaseri and S. arenarium and is separated by PCR-RFLP analysis of the ITS region. There were no positive cross-breedings among these species.
Using the size independent discriminant analysis to distinguish the species of Myliobatis Cuvier (Batoidea: Myliobatidae) from Brazil
Authors: AGUIAR ALINE AUGUSTO , GALLO VALÉRIA , VALENTIN JEAN LOUIS
Published: September 2016

The two only species of Myliobatis Cuvier, that occur in the Brazilian coast, Myliobatis freminvillii Lesueur and Myliobatis goodei Garman, have great similarity in external morphology and possess few diagnostic characters that allow easy identification. In order to discriminate these two species, 34 specimens of M. freminvillii and 19 of M. goodei were measured and twenty morphometric characters were taken from each specimen. The residuals of a previous regression analysis performed on all morphometric variables relative to the disc width were used in the Size Independent Discriminant Analysis. All specimens were correctly allocated to their respective taxa. The analysis showed a clear separation of the specimens, forming two well-defined distinct groups. The fifth interbranchial distance (5ID) was the variable with the highest standardized discriminant coefficient value. The fifth interbranchial distance (5ID)-Internarial distance (IND) and fifth interbranchial distance (5ID)-Mouth width (MW) were the proportions that showed better differentiation between Myliobatis species.
Rivulus uakti sp. n. and R. amanapira sp. n. (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes:Rivulidae): two new species from the upper Rio
Negro, Brazilian Amazon
Authors: COSTA WILSON J.E.M.
Published: September 2016

Rivulus uakti, new species, and R. amanapira, new species, from the upper rio Negro drainage, Amazonian basin, northern Brazil, are described. Both species are members of an assemblage, herein denominated R. atratus species group, that includes R. atratus, R. ornatus, R. rectocaudatus, R. romeri and R. tecminae, and is diagnosed by a unique pattern of frontal squamation and a derived color pattern of infraorbital region. The two new species seems to be closely related to R. romeri and R. tecminae by the absence of dermosphenotic and preopercular canal. Rivulus uakti is similar to R. tecminae and R. altivelis by having long pelvic fins, and differs from them by the fewer scales on the longitudinal series and a distinct female color pattern. Rivulus amanapira, similar to R. tecminae and R. rectocaudatus by having a truncate caudal fin in males, is diagnosed by the higher number of scales on the longitudinal series and unique color pattern of males.
Simpsonichthys suzarti sp. n. (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae): a new annual fish from the Rio Pardo floodplains, northeastern Brazil
Authors: COSTA WILSON J.E.M.
Published: September 2016

Simpsonichthys suzarti, new species, from the floodplains of the lower Rio Pardo, northeastern Brazil, is described. It is a member of a clade, herein termed S. constanciae species group, which is diagnosed by the eyes laterally positioned on the head and a derived pattern of cephalic neuromast arrangement, in which the supraorbital series is interrupted by a median interspace. It differs from all other species of the group in having the anal fin rounded in males and by the distinctive color pattern of males, including the presence of reddish brown bars along the whole flank, reticulate dark brown marks on the dorsal fin and oblique dark brown bars on the anal fin. A key to the species of the S. constanciae group is provided.
Two new species of Opheliidae (Annelida: Polychaeta): Euzonus papillatus sp. n. from a northeastern Brazilian sandy beach and Euzonus mammillatus sp. n. from the continental shelf of southeastern Brazil
Authors: SANTOS CINTHYA S.G. , NONATO EDMUNDO F. , PETERSEN MARY E.
Published: September 2016

Two new species of Euzonus from the Brazilian coast are described and figured. Both differ from other species of the genus with bifid branchiae in having a dorsoventrally oriented patch or band of papillae dorsal to the notopodia of chaetiger 10. Euzonus papillatus sp. n., from beaches of north and northeastern Brazil, has 20 pairs of branchiae, an oval patch with 3 rows of papillae, and posterior noto-/neuropodia with 5 6 modified spines of a type not previously reported for the family, possibly because the modifications are very delicate and may have been overlooked. Euzonus mammillatus sp. n., from southeastern Brazil, has 18 pairs of branchiae, a band with 2 rows of papillae and no modified spines. Based on information from J. M. Orensanz, the 1974 report of E. furciferus in southeastern Brazil is questioned. The original material could not be located and this record plus a more recent one need to be reconfirmed. Described species of Euzonus and the similar Lobochesis Hutchings & Murray, 1984 are briefly reviewed and the status of the two genera is discussed. We find that the supposed differences are not present and suggest that Lobochesis be considered a junior synonym of Euzonus.

Authors: REEVES WILL K. , ADLER PETER H. , GROGAN Jr. WILLIAM L. , SUPER PAUL E.
Published: September 2016

We present the bionomics, distributions, host associations, and known or potential vector abilities of 112 species of hematophagous Diptera representing 9 families in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. New Park or state records include the bird blow flies (Calliphoridae) Protocalliphora aenea, P. bennetti, P. braueri, and P. sialia; the mosquitoes (Culicidae) Aedes albopictus and Anopheles perplexens; the horse flies (Tabanidae) Atylotus duplex and Hybomitra microcephala; the bot fly (Oestridae) Cuterebra buccata; the bird fly (Hippoboscidae) Ornithomyia bequaerti; the black flies (Simuliidae) Simulium aranti, S. bracteatum, and S. infenestrum; and the biting snipe fly (Rhagionidae) Symphoromyia hirta. Most exotic species of hematophagous Diptera were found around human structures. Our collections of Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, indicate that this species continues to be reintroduced into the Park by summer visitors.
Taxonomic revision of Algero-Tunisian Pleurodeles (Caudata: Salamandridae) using molecular and morphological data. Revalidation of the taxon Pleurodeles nebulosus (Guichenot, 1850)
Authors: CARRANZA SALVADOR , WADE EDWARD
Published: September 2016

The taxonomic status of Algero-Tunisian Pleurodeles was reanalysed in the light of new molecular and morphological evidence. Mitochondrial DNA sequences (396 bp of the cytochrome b and 369 of the 12S rRNA) and the results of the morphometric analysis, indicate that Algero-Tunisian P. poireti consists of two genetically and morphologically distinct forms. One restricted to the Edough Peninsula, and another one covering all the rest of its distribution in Algeria and Tunisia. The name P. poireti (Gervais, 1835) is restricted to the population of the Edough Peninsula, while P. nebulous (Guichenot, 1850) correctly applies to all other populations in the distribution. P. poireti originated approximately 4.2 Myr ago, probably as a result of the Edough Peninsula being a Pliocene fossil island, allowing both forms of Algero-Tunisian Pleurodeles to diverge both genetically and morphologically.
