Entre "o Romantismo tão gasto e o Realismo tão vasto": os tableaux de Joaquim Serra e o ecletismo
Authors: Camilo Vagner
Published: September 2016

Este ensaio detem-se numa parcela da poesia de um nome hoje praticamente ignorado na tradição literária brasileira: Joaquim Serra (1838-88). Dono de extensa produção, o maranhense foi importante jornalista, político, grande publicista ligado à imprensa abolicionista, dramaturgo e poeta. Como poeta, embora tenha também composto versos em diálogo com as tendências dominantes na lírica romântica, Serra teve seu nome associado a um gênero de poesia ruralista ou sertanista, que surgiu no quadro dessa mesma geração romântica. Mas aqui, o que interessa da produção poética de Serra não são os quadros rústicos e sim os tableaux urbanos marcados pelo registro humorístico na caracterização de cenas e tipos, e concebidos em intenso diálogo com o teatro, numa mescla ou fusão de gêneros que, graças ao salvo-conduto do romantismo, explorou em outros tantos momentos de sua obra.
Poema sem razão
Authors: Cunha Cilaine Alves
Published: September 2016

Em Álvares de Azevedo e Bernardo Guimarães, a estilização do ócio e da preguiça ora se aproxima da cultura grega que os tomava por fonte da liberdade e da sabedoria, ora metaforiza um cansaço com temas e princípios estéticos que circulavam durante o romantismo brasileiro.
Gonçalves Dias, a escravidão e o tapete levantado
Authors: Marques Wilton José
Published: September 2016

O artigo faz uma leitura de Meditação, de Antônio Gonçalves Dias, publicada na revista Guanabara ao longo do primeiro semestre de 1850. Nessa obra inacabada e ao contrário de seus pares românticos, o poeta critica a escravidão no Brasil.
Bendito Baudelaire
Authors: Faleiros Álvaro
Published: September 2016

A recepção de Baudelaire no Brasil passou, nos anos 1930, por um período de consagração acadêmica, nas palavras de Antonio Candido. Nosso intuito aqui é refletir sobre o modo como Baudelaire se tornou, ao longo do século XX, no Brasil, um poeta acadêmico e convencional, e em que medida essa apropriação de Baudelaire lança luz sobre a poesia brasileira de meados do século passado.
Malditos vs marginais?
Authors: Riaudel Michel
Published: September 2016

No jornal O Beijo (Rio de Janeiro, 1977), Ana Cristina Cesar publicava um texto chamado “Malditos marginais hereges”. Nele, a poetisa reagia a uma coletânea de contos organizada por João Antônio, lançada no mesmo ano, e reunidos sob o título Malditos escritores!. Nossa proposta é examinar os termos desta polêmica levando em conta o contexto (ditadura, poesia marginal...) e repensar as categorias de maldito e/ou marginal aplicadas no âmbito da cultura e da literatura.
Amor maldito, motor da poesia: a Provença e a modernidade
Authors: Manzari Francesca
Published: September 2016

É a composição das vidas dos trovadores que confere ao Grand Chant a dimensão romanesca e ficcional que permitiu a construção de figuras “malditas” como Jaufre Rudel, Bertrand de Born, Raimon Jordan... Do amor cantado pelo trobar nasce o seu oposto destruidor: a melancolia, decorrente da ausência da dama, espreita o trovador, acenando-lhe o risco de não mais compor. tal reflexão vai conduzir autores como Ezra pound, Haroldo e Augusto de Campos a reconhecer na provence dos séculos XII a XIII o lugar original, o topos outopos da poesia.
Araripe Júnior: crítico e historiador da literatura brasileira
Authors: Cairo Luiz Roberto Velloso
Published: September 2016

2011 foi o ano do centenário da morte de Tristão de Alencar Araripe Júnior, nascido em Fortaleza-ce. Juntamente com Sílvio Romero (1851-1914) e José Veríssimo (1857-1916), eles são considerados os críticos literários brasileiros mais famosos do período que se estende de 1870 a 1916. Como os textos de Araripe Júnior costumam ser menos lidos do que os de seus contemporâneos, resolvi escrever sobre seus relevantes trabalhos de crítica e história literária brasileira.
Entre a torre de marfim e o pelourinho
Authors: Rufinoni Simone Rossinetti
Published: September 2016

O artigo analisa – por meio de poemas em prosa do poeta Cruz e Sousa – as contradições entre o ideário simbolista e a constatação da realidade de um país escravocrata. O espaço da torre de marfim remete à singularidade do poeta eleito, enquanto que as teorias da inferioridade racial o condenam à barbárie e à exclusão. Estrutura, imagens e vozes apreendem tais conflitos, por meio dos quais se pode entrever a situação do homem de letras negro no Brasil do século XIX.
O poema em prosa no Brasil: ângulos de experimentação
Authors: Mello Jefferson Agostini
Published: September 2016

Muitos dos poemas em prosa de Cruz e Sousa e de Raul Pompeia constituem uma metáfora da própria escrita do poema em prosa e da sua característica de work in progress. Ainda, em sua ambivalência, alguns podem remeter igualmente ao aspecto provisório da sociedade brasileira, sempre em transformação e pronta para se reinventar, pois, em boa medida, dependente dos rumos do capital internacional. Mas, ao dialogarem com esse contexto histórico, também por conta de seus traços formais, alguns poemas em prosa desses autores também fazem, indiretamente, a crítica do que as elites desejavam permanente e acabado: a Europa nos trópicos. Este texto explora as potencialidades críticas do poema em prosa de Cruz e Sousa e Raul Pompeia a partir de aspectos como inacabamento, deformidade e monstruosidade.
O crítico como artista
Authors: Lins Vera
Published: September 2016

O texto trabalha dois escritores da virada do século XIX para o século XX, Gonzaga Duque e Nestor Victor , ambos críticos e ficcionistas. Seus textos são vistos como marcados por um pensamento que problematiza,colocando questões sobre a arte, a literatura e a crítica ainda cruciais hoje. Trabalham o ensaio como forma de crítica, que incorpora sensibilidade e intelecto. Subjetividades questionadoras, articulam cenas de pensamento no que se poderia chamar de um modernismo carioca na virada do século.
"O poço", de Mário de Andrade: na beira do moderno e da tradição, do cosmopolita e do regional
Authors: Roncari Luiz
Published: September 2016

O trabalho tem em vista apreciar o processo de composição literária de Mário de Andrade. Para isso, analisa uma passagem descritiva de uma “casinha”, do conto “O poço”, de seu livro Contos Novos, e sua similitude com a construção da personalidade de uma das personagens. O estudo procura verificar os sentidos das mudanças e deformações promovidas pelo autor quando, na busca da representação, transpõe o seu material das fontes empíricas para o texto ficcional.
“Extraordinária floração”: Mário de Andrade lê o romance de 30
Authors: Moraes Marcos Antonio De
Published: September 2016

Partindo da listagem dos “dez melhores romances brasileiros”, definida por Mário de Andrade, em março de 1939, na Revista Acadêmica do Rio de Janeiro, este artigo busca recuperar os pressupostos judicativos do escritor modernista no que tange às obras ficcionais da década de 1930 – de autores como Rachel de Queiroz, Jorge Amado, Octávio de Faria, José Lins do Rego, Erico Verissimo e Amando Fontes

Literatura, política e legitimação institucional: o romance de 1930 e o modernismo de 1922 segundo a retórica estadonovista
Authors: Salla Thiago Mio
Published: September 2016

O presente artigo propõe-se a recuperar o modo por meio do qual alguns intelectuais vinculados ao Estado Novo brasileiro — Almir de Andrade, Rosário Fusco e Wilson Lousada, entre outros — promoveram uma leitura teleológica do modernismo de 1922, bem como procuraram apropriar-se do romance regionalista de 1930 como meios de legitimar a chegada e a permanência de Vargas no poder
Graciliano e a nata da malandragem
Authors: Alves Fabio Cesar
Published: September 2016

O artigo analisa a reconstrução literária, nas Memórias do cárcere, do contato que o escritor Graciliano Ramos travou com os malandros da Colônia Correcional da Ilha Grande, quando da sua prisão em 1936. A apreensão da dinâmica da marginalidade pelo escritor militante desnuda aspectos da ideologia trabalhista e dialoga a contrapelo com as apostas do nosso primeiro modernismo
Properties of Main Verbs
Authors: Talmy Leonard
Published: September 2016

A set of properties is proposed as characteristic of main verbs, able to identify a particular constituent in a sentence as its main verb. These properties are in turn applied to the framing typology of Talmy (2000b), in which languages fall into two categories based on whether they characteristically express the Path component of a Motion event in the verb (verb-framed languages) or in the satellite and/or preposition (satellite-framed languages). Slobin (2004) later held that certain languages do not fall neatly into either category of this typology, either because the lexical category of the Path constituent is unclear, or because the Path and coevent constituents are both verbs or both satellites. He classed such languages together as being “equipollently framed”, exhibiting a third category of the typology. We dispute most of these claims of equipollent framing, demonstrating how these languages are actually either verb-framed or satellite-framed.
Swearing: Language for Feeling
Authors: Finkelstein Shlomit Ritz , Poh Rob , Juncos Jorge L.
Published: September 2016

We hypothesize that swearing is an emotional action that hardly says anything other than expressing and evoking emotions and that studying swearing might shed light on the evolutionary path from motor behavior to language. Our lens is the involuntary swearing—coprolalia—associated with Tourette syndrome (ts). In a qualitative analysis of videotaped interviews with 16 ts sufferers and their families, we arrive at the following findings, of which the first one replicates previous findings, and the following are novel: (i) coprolalia, once believed psychogenic, is embodied; (ii) the pragmatics of swearing obeys the cultural rules of communication while violating the culture’s values; (iii) coprolalia is unique as a speech act as it relies mainly on cultural context rather than semantics; (iv) coprolalia’s sensitivity to culture affords its performative effectiveness in hurting its hearer. Therefore, reducing the automaticity of the hearer’s interpretation of the coprolaliac’s intention can reduce the hurtful effect.
Lactifluus foetens and Lf. albomembranaceus sp. nov. (Russulaceae): look-alike milkcaps from gallery forests in tropical Africa
Authors: CROP ESKE DE , VAN DE PUTTE KOBEKE , WILDE SERGE DE , NJOUONKOU ANDRÉ-LEDOUX , DE KESEL ANDRÉ , VERBEKEN ANNEMIEKE
Published: September 2016

The ectomycorrhizal milkcap genus Lactifluus is commonly found within Central and West African gallery forests. During field expeditions in Cameroon and Togo, several collections of white Lactifluus species were found, resembling Lactifluus foetens. Molecular and morphological research indicates that these collections belong to two unrelated species, i.e. Lactifluus foetens and an undescribed taxon. The latter is here described as Lactifluus albomembranaceus sp. nov. from the gallery forests in Central and Western Africa. In Cameroon, at least, Lactifluus albomembranaceus is a popular edible fungus that is harvested for personal consumption and offered for sale at local markets.
The beetle fauna of the state of Rhode Island, USA (Coleoptera): 656 new state records
Authors: SIKES DEREK S.
Published: September 2016

A summary and discussion of new state records from a recently assembled checklist of Coleoptera species known from the state of Rhode Island (270,660 hectares), USA, is presented. The checklist includes 2,208 species, is available on the World Wide Web, and will be published as a book by the Rhode Island Natural History Survey in 2003. The current status of the taxonomic and faunistic knowledge of southern New England Coleoptera is discussed. Six hundred and fifty six apparent new state species records for Rhode Island are presented, which constitute 30% of the total state beetle fauna. Three hundred and ninety of these records were collected during 1890–1930, and 266 additional new state records were added by collections made during 1995–2000. Two hundred and forty four of these new state records are not listed from any New England state in Downie and Arnett‘s Beetles of Northeastern North America (1996). The following 13 new state family records are herein reported from Rhode Island: Clambidae, Dryopidae, Heteroceridae, Artematopodidae, Phengodidae, Derodontidae, Nosodendridae, Endecatomidae, Colydiidae, Synchroidae, Stenotrachelidae, Salpingidae, and Nemonychidae. The beetle fauna of Rhode Island is far less well known than would be generally expected, particularly in comparison to our knowledge of the subequally speciose flora, and the faunal composition may have changed markedly during the last century. No strong evidence is found for changes in the beetle fauna due to climate change. It is concluded that if our prior knowledge of the beetle fauna of Rhode Island is at all typical, then our inventory of North American biodiversity is far from complete.
A new myrmicine ant genus from Malaysia with uncertain affinities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Authors: C. FERNANDO FERNÁNDEZ
Published: September 2016

The new myrmicine genus Tyrannomyrmex is described based on a solitary worker from Negri Sembilam, Malaysia. The principal traits of the ant are mandibles with two teeth, inner modified setae on the ventral margin of mandibles, and mesosoma devoid of any groove or suture. This new genus somewhat resembles the Adelomyrmex genus-group (particularly Baracidris from Africa) especially because of the modified setae; the structure is different, however (cylindric in Tyrannomyrmex, spatulate in Adelomyrmex genus-group) and the similarity may be a convergence. The antennal and clypeal configuration, as well as tooth number, distance the genus from the adelomyrmecines. The genus is described from a single species, T. rex n. sp., from Malaysia. A discussion of the affinities with Adelomyrmex genus-group is presented.

A second species of the enigmatic whitefly genus Stenaleyrodes Takahashi (Sternorrhyncha, Aleyrodidae)
Authors: MARTIN JON H. , STREITO JEAN-CLAUDE
Published: September 2016

Stenaleyrodes papillote sp. nov. is described from coconut palms on Mayotte Island and in East Africa. It is only the second known member of this genus, whose systematic position has hitherto been uncertain. With use of both puparial and adult characters, the placement of Stenaleyrodes in the subfamily Aleurodicinae is supported, and the status of the subfamilies Aleurodicinae and Udamoselinae discussed.Stenaleyrodes papillote sp. nov. est décrite sur cocotier de l’Île de Mayotte et d’Afrique de l’Est. C’est seulement la deuxième espèce connue de ce genre, dont la position systématique demeure incertaine. Le statut des deux sous-familles Aleurodicinae and Udamoselinae est discuté. Malgré l’absence de pores composés et de griffes aux pattes du puparium, une observation attentive de S. vinsoni et des pupariums et adultes de la nouvelle espèce plaide pour le maintien du genre Stenaleyrodes dans la sous-famille des Aleurodicinae.

Published: September 2016

A new species of Indian caeciliid caecilian, Gegeneophis danieli (Amphibia: Gymnophiona), is described from a single specimen from the Western Ghats of southern Maharashtra. This distinctive species differs from all other Indian caeciliids in having more numerous secondary annuli that are not restricted to the posterior half of the body. A new key to the species of Gegeneophis is presented, and the diversity of the genus is briefly discussed.
A new species of Pherania Strand, 1942 from southern Brazil (Arachnida: Opiliones: Gonyleptidae)
Authors: KURY ADRIANO B.
Published: September 2016

Pherania giupponii sp. nov. is herein described from a coastal island in Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. The genus Pherania Strand, 1942, was hitherto monotypic and the type species, Pherania pygmaea (Sørensen, 1932), is known from the nearby mainland. A new diagnosis is given to Pherania and the geographic distribution of the two species is illustrated on a map.
A new species of the enigmatic genus Teremys Mason, T. hanniae, from Costa Rica (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Authors: VALERIO A. A. , WHITFIELD J. B.
Published: September 2016

The microgastrine braconid wasp genus Teremys was proposed by Mason based on the rare new species, T. masneri, which is apparently restricted to eastern North America. In the present paper Teremys hanniae n. sp. is described from the Neotropical region, and an illustrated key to the two known species is presented. The relationships and taxonomic status of the genus are briefly discussed but not yet fully clarified.
Occurrence of the milliped Sinocallipus simplipodicus Zhang, 1993 in Laos, with reviews of the Southeast Asian and global callipodidan faunas, and remarks on the phylogenetic position of the order (Callipodida: Sinocallipodidea: Sinocallipodidae)
Authors: SHEAR WILLIAM A. , SHELLEY ROWLAND M. , HEATWOLE HAROLD
Published: September 2016

The callipodidan milliped, Sinocallipus simplipodicus Zhang, 1993, previously known only from a cave in Yunnan Province, China, is redescribed based on specimens from an epigean habitat in southern Laos, some 600 mi (960 km) south of the type locality. SEM photos of the gonopods, ovipositor, gnathochilarium, midbody exoskeleton, an ozopore, and legs are presented to supplement previously published line drawings; the cannula may be the “functional” element of the gonopod that inseminates females in this species. The Callipodida occupy nine disjunct areas globally, all exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere and most in the North Temperate Zone; there are three regions each in North America, Europe (including coastal regions along the southern Black and eastern Mediterranean seas that are technically part of Asia), and Asia proper. The southeast Asian fauna comprises three families -Sinocallipodidae, one genus and species (suborder Sinocallipodidea), and Schizopetalidae, one genus and species, and Paracortinidae, one genus, three subgenera, and seven species (both suborder Schizopetalidea). An unnamed clade may exist in the Diplopoda in which the gonopods arise solely from the 8th legs (an “8th gonopod clade”); it comprises seven orders: Callipodida, Polydesmida, Chordeumatida, Stemmiulida, Siphoniulida, Spirostreptida, and Epinannolenida. Two newly recognized characters that hold phylogenetic significance are (1) development of the gonopod from the 8th coxa alone (Chordeumatida) or from the coxa plus some telopodal articles (the other six orders), and (2) the presence (Callipodida, Polydesmida, and Stemmiulida) or absence (Chordeumatida, Spirostreptida, and Epinannolenida) of a cannula. These considerations lead to the hypothesis (Chordeumatida + (Callipodida + (Polydesmida + Stemmiulida))).

The tadpole of Physalaemus fuscomaculatus (Anura: Leptodactylidae), with a description of internal oral morphology
Authors: NOMURA FAUSTO , ROSSA-FERES DENISE DE CERQUEIRA , PRADO VITOR HUGO MENDONÇA DO
Published: September 2016

The external morphology and internal oral features of Physalaemus fuscomaculatus (Steindachner, 1864) tadpoles are described and compared with other species in the Physalalemus biligonigerus group (Lynch, 1970). Tadpoles of P. fuscomaculatus have a morphology similar to other species within this group and closely resemble those of P. santafecinus Barrio, 1965 and P. biligonigerus (Cope, 1861). The tadpole of P. fuscomaculatus differs from those of the biligonigerus group by the following characters: i) proportionally shorter tail compared to total length, ii) presence of two narrow ventral gaps on marginal papillae of the oral disc; iii) upper jaw sheath Mshaped; iv) presence of two lingual papillae; v) two to three prepocket papillae, and vi) three to five pustulations anterior to each buccal pocket. This is the first record of Physalaemus fuscomaculatus in southeastern Brazil.
South African Latrunculiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida): descriptions of new species of Latrunculia du Bocage, Strongylodesma Lévi, and Tsitsikamma Samaai & Kelly
Authors: SAMAAI TOUFIEK , GIBBONS MARK J. , KELLY MICHELLE , DAVIES-COLEMAN MIKE
Published: September 2016

A recent major revision of the Family Latrunculiidae (Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida) recognised four valid genera; Latrunculia du Bocage, Sceptrella Schmidt, Strongylodesma Lévi, and Tsitsikamma Samaai & Kelly, from South Africa. The major diagnostic characters of the Family Latrunculiidae are the possession of discate acanthose microrhabd microscleres called acanthodiscorhabds, or more traditionally, “chessman” spicules, that form a dense palisade in the outer ectosome, a tangential layer of styles or anisostrongyle megascleres below this, and a wispy choanosomal skeleton of the same spicules. The sponge surface almost always has areolate porefields and short fistular oscules. This paper reports new Latrunculiidae from western and southeastern South Africa, including a redescription of Latrunculia biformis (Kirkpatrick). Four key characters, including microsclere ornamentation, spicule dimensions, colouration in life, and surface aquiferous features, define three new species of Latrunculia (L. lunaviridis sp. nov., L. microacanthoxea sp. nov., and L. bellae sp. nov.), two new species of Strongylodesma (S. algoaensis sp. nov. and S. tsitsikammaensis sp. nov.), and two new species of Tsitsikamma (T. pedunculata sp. nov. and T. scurra sp. nov.).
The centipede genus Newportia Gervais, 1847, in Mexico: description of a new troglomorphic species; redescription of N. sabina Chamberlin, 1942; revival of N. azteca Humbert & Saussure, 1869; and a summary of the fauna (Scolopendromorpha: Scolopocryptopidae: Newportiinae)
Authors: CHAGAS JUNIOR AMAZONAS , SHELLEY ROWLAND M.
Published: September 2016

In Mexico, the newportiine scolopocryptopid genus Newportia Gervais, 1847, comprises 10 species: N. mexicana (Saussure, 1858); N. azteca Humbert & Saussure, 1869; N. stolli (Pocock, 1896); N. spinipes Pocock, 1896; N. oreina Chamberlin, 1915; N. sabina and pelaezi, both by Chamberlin, 1942; N. atoyaca and morela, both by Chamberlin, 1943, and N. troglobia, n. sp. The last occurs in caves in Tamaulipas and appears to be an obligate troglobite; N. sabina, known only from caves in San Luis Potosi, is redescribed and illustrated. Newportia azteca is revived and returned to its rightful position as the third oldest name in the genus; despite having priority by 27 years, it had been considered to be “the same” as N. spinipes and dropped from nomenclature. Although Newportia and the Newportiinae are not known from the continental United States, they do inhabit the country’s territories in the Caribbean; N. heteropoda Chamberlin, 1918, is reported from Puerto Rico, and N. longitarsis virginiensis Lewis, 1989, is recorded from St. Thomas and St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, and Tortola and Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. The northernmost Mexican record, of N. pelaezi in Nuevo León, is only 96 mi (154 km) south of the US border, suggesting that the taxa may potentially be discovered in the southern periphery of Texas; likewise, rafting from Cuba, where 4–5 species occur, could bring them to the Florida Keys. New localities from Mexico are presented for N. stolli, N. spinipes, N. oreina, N. atoyaca, and N. morela, and ranges are depicted on a distribution map.
Agrilus (s. str.) betulanigrae MacRae (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Agrilini), a new species from North America, with comments on subgeneric placement and a key to the otiosus species-group in North America

A strikingly coloured new species of Paragiopagurus Lemaitre, 1996 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Parapaguridae) from French Polynesia
Authors: LEMAITRE RAFAEL , POUPIN JOSEPH
Published: September 2016

A new deep-water hermit crab species, Paragiopagurus fasciatus, is described from the Austral Islands, French Polynesia. This new species has a distinct colour pattern consisting of red stripes on the shield and ambulatory legs, and is also distinguished by having short antennal peduncles, strongly armed carpus of the left cheliped, and in females, laterally armed telson. This new species is the fourth of the genus, and the twelfth of the family, recorded from French Polynesia. The closest morphological affinities of P. fasciatus n. sp. are with P. bougainvillei (Lemaitre, 1994) and P. wallisi (Lemaitre, 1994), two species also known so far exclusively from French Polynesia. A taxonomically updated list of species from French Polynesia is presented.

Diagnoses for larva, pupa and adult male of T. rhabdomantis comb. nov. are given, and the characters used to identify the immature stages of Nimbocera Reiss, 1972, are briefly discussed.
Simulium (Hearlea) Vargas, Mart nez Palacios, & D az N jera (Diptera: Simuliidae): Taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis
Authors: COSCARÓN S. , ESQUIVEL D. R. MIRANDA , MOULTON J. K. , COSCARÓNARIAS C. L. , BERNAL S. IBAÑEZ
Published: September 2016

Simulium (Hearlea) Vargas, Mart nez Palacios, & D az N jera 1957 is comprised of 20 known species that are largely confined to the area between M xico and Guatemala. Herein, all currently recognized species within this subgenus are described, illustrated, keyed (except males), and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. Geographic distributions for each species are also updated. Simulium deleoni Vargas, 1945, is synonymized with S. capricorne De Le n, 1944. Simulium paracarolinae new species, from Guatemala, is described from the larva. A cladistic analysis of all Hearlea species and representatives from three outgroups was conducted using 39 morphological characters. Although different character weighting methods yielded different topologies, all trees agreed that Hearlea is monophyletic is comprised of two species groups, based mainly upon characters of the larva and pupa: the Simulium juarezi group S. ayrozai Vargas, S. burchi Dalmat, S. canadense Hearle, S. capricorne De Le n, S. chiriquiense Field, S. contrerense D az N jera & Vulcano, S. dalmati Vargas & D az N jera, S. delatorrei Dalmat, S. estevezi Vargas, S. ethelae Dalmat, S. juarezi Vargas & D az N jera, S. microbranchium Dalmat, and S. nigricorne Dalmat and the S. carolinae group Simulium (Hearlea) carolinae De Le n, S. gorirossiae Vargas & D az N jera, S. johnsoni Vargas & D az N jera, S. larvispinosum De Le n, S. menchacai Vargas & D az N jera, S. paracarolinae n. sp., and S. temascalense D az N jera & Vulcano.

The third South American species of the genus Pectenobunus Roewer, with a new synonymy for the genus (Opiliones, Eupnoi, Sclerosomatidae, Gagrellinae)
Authors: TOURINHO-DAVIS ANA LÚCIA
Published: September 2016

Caiza Roewer, 1925, is considered a junior subjective synonym of Pectenobunus Roewer, 1910, and its type species Caiza colliculosa Roewer, 1925 is newly combined as Pectenobunus colliculosus. The genus Pectenobunus should now include three species distributed in the Southern Cone of South America and Bolivia. Emended diagnoses are given for Pectenobunus and its three species. The diagnostic combination of characters of the genus is discussed, and compared with species with similar morphology found in the southern South American cone. A key for identification of the species included in Pectenobunus is provided. Characters most valuable to systematics penis, abdominal scute, and color pattern are illustrated and described for Pectenobunus colliculosus for the first time.
Apteronotus eschmeyeri, a new species of ghost knifefish from the Magdalena Basin, Colombia (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae)
Authors: DE SANTANA CARLOS DAVID , MALDONADO-OCAMPO JAVIER A. , SEVERI WILLIAM , MENDES GEORGE NILSON
Published: September 2016

Apteronotus eschmeyeri n. sp. is described here from the Magdalena Basin in Colombia and distinguished from congeners by the following combination of features: blotchy coloration on body, clear band from chin to the beginning of dorsal mid-saggital electroreceptororgan, two clear bands surrounding the caudal peduncle in specimens up to 165 mm TL, mouth rictus passing the posterior margin of orbit. The present work demonstrates that the Trans-Andean apteronotids may be more diverse than previously supposed.
Revision of the Australian species of Anatomidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Vetigastropoda)
Authors: GEIGER DANIEL L. , JANSEN PATTY
Published: September 2016

The Australian members of the vetigastropod family Anatomidae are revised and two new species are described. The family has thus far been treated as a subfamily of Scissurellidae, but recent molecular evidence (Geiger & Thacker, unpubl. data) indicates that Scissurellinae plus Anatominaeis not monophyletic, and full family rank is warranted for a group containing the genera Anatoma and Thieleella. Seven species from Australia belonging in Anatomidae are discussed and illustrated by SEM: Anatoma aupouria (Powell, 1937) mainly from New Zealand, though with some Australian records; A. australis (Hedley, 1903), A. funiculata n. sp., An turbinata (A. Adams, 1862), which has been misidentified in the past as the South African A. agulhasensis (Thiele, 1925), A. tobeyoides n. sp., Thieleella equatoria (Hedley, 1899) with a second known specimen, and T. gunteri (Cotton & Godfrey, 1933). Other species that have been (erroneously) indicated from Australia are discussed. A neotype is designated for A. agulhasensis from South Africa for taxon stabilization.
Emendation of the subfamilies Caiguiriinae and Pygidiopsinae (Digenea) with a redescription of Caiguiria anterouteria (Digenea: Heterophyidae) and reassignment of Pygydiopsis crassus to Caiguiria
Authors: DRONEN NORMAN O. , BLEND CHARLES K. , DAVIS ALISHA J.
Published: September 2016

During a study of members of the genus Pygidiopsis from wading birds from the Texas gulf coast, specimens of Caiguiria anterouteria from the United States National Parasite Collection and from the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt and specimens of Pygidiopsis macrostomum from the Natural History Museum, London were examined. These specimens demonstrated ranges of characteristics that called in to question their assignment to either Pygidiopsis or Caiguiria. Species of Pygidiopsis are divided into 4 distinct morphological groups based on the presence or absence of spines on the oral sucker, the distribution of the vitellaria and the anterior extent of the uterus. The subfamily Caiguiriinae is emended to include those species with an unarmed oral sucker and vitelline follicles that reach the level of the acetabulum anteriorly, and C. anterouteria is redescribed based on existing museum specimens consistent with the holotype specimen. The genus Caiguiria is emended to include species where the vitelline follicles reach the level of the acetabulum anteriorly but do not extensively invade the postesticular space. Pygidiopsis crassus is assigned to Caiguiria as Caiguiria crassa n. comb., and the subfamily Pygidiopsinae is emended to include those species where the vitelline follicles extend from the level of the acetabulum posteriorly in to the posttesticular space and where the uterus is confined to the hindbody. The validity of Pygidiopsis pelecani and Pygidiopsis piclaumoreli is discussed.
Erimetopus vandenbrandeni (Balss, 1936) n. comb., with notes on the taxonomy of the genus Erimetopus Rathbun, 1894 (Brachyura: Potamoidea: Potamonautidae) from Central Africa
Authors: CUMBERLIDGE NEIL , REED SADIE K.
Published: September 2016

The Central African freshwater crab genus Erimetopus (family Potamonautidae) is revived to accommodate two species, E. brazzae (A. Milne-Edwards, 1886) and E. vandenbrandeni (Balss, 1936) n. comb. The genus Erimetopus Rathbun, 1894, and the two species assigned to it here, are redescribed from type material, and lectotypes for each species are selected. Erimetopus spinosus Rathbun, 1894 is judged here to be a junior synonym of E. brazzae, and P. (E.) b. frontospinulosa is treated as a subspecies of E. brazzae. Illustrations and photographs of the type specimens of these taxa are provided, and new gonopod evidence based on E. vandenbrandeni is evaluated. The distributions of the species of Erimetopus are described and discussed, and keys to the genera of African freshwater crabs and to the species of Erimetopus are provided.
A new genus and six new species of ground-dwelling leafhoppers from Chile and New Zealand (Hemiptera: Cicadomorpha: Myerslopiidae)

The nymphs of an unidentfied species of Mapuchea are also described. Four new species of the New Zealand genus Myerslopia Ev. (M. rakiuraensis sp. nov., M. whakatipuensis sp. nov., M. tawhai sp. nov. and M. tearohai) are described. Additional data on the distribution of some species of the genus Pemmation HMLT. are also presented.
Egg capsules of Atlantoraja cyclophora (Regan, 1903) and A. platana (G nther, 1880) (Pisces, Elasmobranchii, Rajidae)
Authors: ODDONE M. C. , MARÇAL A. S. , VOOREN C. M.
Published: September 2016

Egg capsules of Atlantoraja cyclophora and A. platana are asymmetrical, dorsally convex and ventrally flat, with longitudinally striated faces. Those of other rajoid genera occurring in Cassino Beach (Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil), Psammobatis, Sympterygia and Rioraja, are equally convex in lateral view, and have smooth faces. In Atlantoraja the egg capsules are laterally keeled while in Sympterygia a lateral flange exists. Mean egg capsule length and width are 68 and 39 mm in A. cyclophora, and 69 and 45 mm in A. platana. Egg capsules of A. platana are significantly wider than those of A. cyclophora with anterior and posterior horns significantly longer. The outline of the velum is convex in dorsal view in A. cyclophora and slightly convex in A. platana.

Description of a new species of the fish genus Acanthoplesiops Regan (Teleostei: Plesiopidae: Acanthoclininae) from Tonga
Authors: MOOI RANDALL D. , GILL ANTHONY C.
Published: September 2016

Acanthoplesiops naka sp. n. is described from the 9.9 mm SL holotype collected at Ofolanga Island of the Ha apai Group of Tonga. Its dorsal-fin spine count of XVIII is unique in the genus. The following combination of characters also distinguishes it from congeners: first two dorsal-fin pterygiophores in the 3 rd interneural space (anterior dorsal-fin formula ?/?/I+I/I/I/I/I//I/I/I); 3 dentary pores; 2 intertemporal pores; head and body generally brownish with darker pigment spots (from shrunken melanophores), excepting a paler stripe from the anterior half of the symphyseal flap on the lower lip to the origin of the dorsal fin (continuing on to the first dorsal spine), a pale spot on the pectoralfin base, and a pale caudal peduncle continuous with pale bases of last 3 segmented dorsaland anal-fin rays; regular ctenoid scales; no membranous attachment of last dorsalor anal-fin rays to caudal fin. The new species might be the sister taxon to A. psilogaster as they share the putative derived character of two dorsal-fin pterygiophores in the 3 rd interneural space.
Andesipolis, a puzzling new genus of cyclostome Braconidae (Hymenoptera) from the Chilean Andes, with descriptions of three new species
Authors: WHITFIELD JAMES B. , CHOI WON-YOUNG , SUH KYONG-IN
Published: September 2016

A new genus of braconid wasp, Andesipolis Whitfield & Choi, n. g., is described from the Andean region of Chile. It clearly belongs to the cyclostome lineage of Braconidae but otherwise is difficult to assign definitively to tribe or subfamily, as it has some morphological features typical of Rhysipolini, others typical of Rhyssalini, and a few unique features. Three species, A. whartoni n. sp., A. masoni, n. sp. and A. framea n. sp. are described to represent the range of morphological variation encompassed by the new generic concept; other species are known to exist in collections but await a full-scale revision of this locally abundant genus.

Published: September 2016

A new Brazilian species of Timea is described from 01 51 00 S-43 48 00 W (35.5 m depth). Timea bioxyasterina sp. nov. is set apart from other tropical Western Atlantic species by the possession of tylasters and two categories of oxyasters.
A new species of Alvinocaris (Crustacea: Decapoda: Alvinocarididae) and new records of alvinocaridids from hydrothermal vents north of New Zealand
Authors: WEBBER W. RICHARD
Published: September 2016

Alvinocaris niwa n. sp. is described from hydrothermal vents at the Brothers Caldera and Rumble V Seamount on the southern Kermadec Ridge, midway between the Kermadec Islands and Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Four hundred specimens of Alvinocaris longirostris Kikuchi & Ohta, 1995, described from Japan, are recorded at the Brothers. The presence of a possible third Alvinocaris at Rumble V and one or two species of Chorocaris at Brothers are also reported. Eighty-eight specimens of A. niwa and 41 of A. longirostris were measured and examined to assess morphological variation. Morphological characters used to distinguish alvinocaridids are shown to be highly variable. Pairwise correlations with carapace length indicate that numbers of teeth, spines and setae are generally not related to shrimp size. Descriptions based on small numbers of specimens are thus questionable. The new species is characterised by: short rostrum; paired sternal spines on abdominal somites I III; long stylocerite and robust distolateral spine on the antennular proximal segment, with a subterminal spine; two ventral spines on antennal basal segment; row of spines on distal segment of maxilliped III; and two rows of spines on flexor surface of P3 P5 dactyls. It is the shallowest alvinocaridid yet discovered and also inhabits the greatest depth range, at over 700 m.

Pelvicachromis signatus and Pelvicachromis rubrolabiatus, two new cichlid species (Teleostei, Perciformes) from Guinea, West Africa
Authors: LAMBOJ ANTON
Published: September 2016

Pelvicachromis rubrolabiatus and P. signatus are described from Guinea. They differ from other members of Pelvicachromis, except P. humilis, in having two contiguous tubular infraorbital ossicles instead of three with a gap between the 2 nd and 3 rd and in displaying a color pattern of seven to eight dark vertical bars during certain behavioral situations. Pelvicachromis rubrolabiatus differs from P. humilis and P. signatus in having seven instead of eight vertical bars on the body and from P. signatus in having a lesser preorbital depth. Pelvicachromis signatus differs from P. humilis in the presence of characteristic black markings in the dorsal and caudal fin of males, a black spot on the caudal peduncle of females and occasionally one or two black spots in the female s dorsal fin.
