(Figs. 14,51,57–60)
Material examined. One male and one female from: INDIA: Karnataka / Chintamani / 16.x.2006 / Shobharani, M. Specimens are identified as Prasutagus pulchellus Distant, det. C. Viraktamath, 2007. Dr. Viraktamath has examined the type female and states that the type agrees with the specimens he identified and were examined here (C. Viraktamath, personal communication).
Discussion. L. curtulus (Motchulsky) (= Deltocephalus oneratus Melichar, 1903) appears to be very similar to L. pulchellus based on the figures of Vilbaste (1975). However, M. Webb and C. Viraktamath, after examining syntypes of D. oneratus, confirm that the two are different (personal communication).

(Figs. 77–85)
Material examined. One male and one female: INDIA: Karnataka / Nandi Hills 1467m / SV101 17.VII.1979 / S. Viraktamath Coll. The female genitalia are figured here for the first time.
Discussion. Baileyus and Gurawa are related genera from India and were included in Aphrodini by Oman et al. (1990). Based upon examination of specimens of G. m i n o rc e p h a l a Pruthi and figures provided by Pruthi (1930), they are included here in Chiasmini. Hamilton (1975b) included Baileyus and Gurawa in his interpretation of Eupelicini, which also included Chiasmus. He considered the shape of the head, position of ocelli, raised wing veins, and some chaetotaxic characters to be diagnostic for the group (Hamilton, 1975a). However characters supporting a relationship between Baileyus, Gurawa, and/or Chiasmus and other Chiasmini (as circumscribed here) and not with Eupelix Germar include: hinged aedeagus in Chiasmus; anterior arms of connective closely appressed in all three genera (shared with all Chiasmini except Leofa, Nephotettix, Omaranus, Picchusteles, and Exitianus); diagnostic characters of the female genitalia as described for the tribe above. Eupelix has the first valvula with reticulate sculpturing and second valvula with irregularly shaped teeth. Although there are similarities in the external characters of the head and of the chaetotaxy between Gurawa, Baileyus, Chiasmus, and Eupelix, the combination of characters outlined here for Chiasmini more strongly suggest that the former three genera belong in the same tribe, not including Eupelix. Gurawa and Baileyus do not have the characteristic hinged aedeagus of other Chiasmini, but share characters of the first and second valvulae with other Chiasmini. Additionally, DNA sequence data (unpublished) gathered for at least on member of most genera of Chiasmini (Gurawa, Baileyus, Omaranus, and Picchusteles not sampled) and numerous outgroup taxa, including Eupelix, suggest that Eupelix is not closely related to any sampled chiasmine, including Chiasmus.

(Figures 2A, 3A)
Material examined. Argentina, San Matías gulf, Caleta Los Hornitos, BENTOS 2008, two specimens (MLP-Ma 14653); Río Negro: Las Grutas, REDE 2009, one specimen, 15 m, 2011; San Antonio Este, Punta Villarino, five specimens (MACN 13367); San Matías gulf, one, three and seven specimens (MACN 21309, MACN 21310 and MACN 21308, respectively).
Description. Length up to 70 mm, body oval, color varies from pale to dark yellow. Dorsal area covered by large tubercles that become smaller towards the edge of the mantle. Lamellate rhinophores, wide base and around 30 lamellae. Gill with 5-7 multipennate leaves around the anal papilla (Figure 2A). Radular formula is 35 x 63.0.63 (MLP-Ma 14653). Lateral teeth curved without denticles (Figure 3A).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Argentina, from San Antonio Cape (Valdés & Muniain 2002); Arica, Chile (Schrödl 2000) to Islote Ferrol (09°08′22″S; 78°37′15″W), Ancash, Peru (Araya & Valdés 2016). Usually found under rocks between six and 20 m depth.
Remarks. Doris fontainii is easily recognizable due to its large size, the bright yellow color of its body and a mantle covered with conspicuous tubercles. Some of the examined specimens present dark brown pigment between the tubercles which Schrödl et al. (2005) described as a characteristic of central and northern Chilean specimens.

(Figures 2B, 3B, 3C)
Material examined. Argentina, San Matías gulf, Caleta Los Hornitos, REDE 2009, one specimen, 110m (MLP-Ma 14654).
Description. Length up to 25 mm, body oval, uniform reddish orange, densely covered with thin caryophyllidia. Rhinophores with approximately ten vertical lamellae and apical knob. Oral tentacles short and conical.Ten unipinnate gill leaves around the anal papilla (Figure 2B). Foot broad and bilabiate. Radular formula is 60 x 30.44.0.44.30. (MLP-Ma 14654). Innermost teeth small with up to eight pointed denticles on the inner edge. Lateral teeth increase in size, becoming longer and thinner. Marginal teeth very thin and elongated, divided in the form of fine threads in the upper third (Figures 3B, 3C).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Recorded from Eastern Pacific and Southern South America. Alaska to Mexico (Schrödl 2003), central Chile (Schrödl 1996, 1997a, 1999) and Bahía Camarones, Argentina (Schrödl 2003). Found on rocky bottoms between four and 110 m depth.
Remarks. Rostanga pulchra is clearly distinguishable from other nudibranchs in this study by the orange color of the mantle and the lamellate rhinophores. The material studied matches the original description of R. pulchra from Monterey Bay, California (MacFarland 1905). R. pulchra has a disjunct geographic distribution in America, with a great geographic gap between north and south. Marcus & Marcus (1969) extended its distribution from Chile to Argentina, with one specimen collected in Camarones bay (44°45’57´´S; 65°34’47´´W) at 102 m depth. Schrödl (1996, 1997a) confirmed the presence of R. pulchra in the southern hemisphere. R. pulchra is very similar to its congener Rostanga byga Marcus, 1958 recorded from northern Brazil to Patagonia. According to Muniain & Valdés (2000) and Schrödl & Grau (2006) the differences between R. pulchra and R. byga are the presence of white dots on the central notum in R. byga and the double number of lamellae in the rhinophores.

description: Diaulula hispida (d'Orbigny, 1834)
Material examined. Argentina, San Matías gulf, Caleta Los Hornitos, BENTOS 2008, two specimens, 65 m (ESCM-Ma-22).
Description. Length up to 80 mm, body whitish with brown dots, or body completely brown to dark brown. Undulating dorsal ridge. Mantle covered by very thin caryophyllidia, forming a collar at the base of the rhinophores. 6-7 tripinnate gill leaves surround the anal papilla. Oral tentacles digitiform. Foot bilabiate, with upper lip notched. The radular formula is 24 x 32.0.32. The lateral teeth are simple and smooth.
Geographic distribution and depth range. Argentina, from Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut to central Chile in Valparaiso, Chile (Schrödl 1996, 1997a, 2000, 2003). Found at 65 m depth.
Remarks. According to Valdés & Gosliner (2001) D. hispida is characterized by a notum ridge, common to the members of the genus Atagema Gray, J.E. 1850 (= Trippa see Marcus 1959). On the contrary, Marcus (1959) considered that this species fits better within the genus Diaulula, due to morphological differences in the mouth of Trippa species. Until more information is available, D. hispida should be maintained in Diaulula (Schrödl 2003).

Common in the SMG on rocky bottoms between six and 25 m depth.
Biology. The egg mass in a whitish wavy gelatinous ribbon about 70 mm long, with up to four complete spiral turns (Figure 2D).
Remarks. Magellanic species occasionally found in the Peruvian Province. This species is clearly differentiated from Diaulula hispida by the absence of the crest note (Valdés & Muniain 2002).

Description. Length up to 30 mm. Body oval, white, yellowish to orange. Dorsum densely covered with caryophyllidia of different sizes, the tips of some white in color. Rhinophores foliated. 8 to 12 bipinnate or tripinnate gill leaves around the anal papilla (Figure 2E). The radular formula is 60 x 81.0.81, lateral teeth very dense near the middle of the radula and are smaller towards the external ones.
Geographic distribution and depth range. North of Argentina (37°50´S, 56°11´W), Argentinean and Chilean Patagonia to Bahia Coliumo, central Chile (Schrödl 1997b, 2003). Found in soft and intertidal bottoms under rocks up to 15 m depth.
Biology. Egg mass is a gelatinous ribbon yellowish about 20 mm long with up to four complete spiral turns, and deposited on rocks (Figure 2F).
Remarks. The genus Gargamella Bergh, 1894 currently contains seven species. Only one of them is listed for South America, Gargamella inmaculata, since the Chilean species Gargamella latior Odhner, 1926 was included as a junior synonym of G. inmaculata (Schrödl 2003). This species differs from Gargamella gravastella Valdés & Gosliner, 1999 and Gargamella bovina Garovoy, Valdés & Gosliner, 1999, from South Africa, by the absence of dark grey mantle color and dense carophyllidia present in G. garvastella. It differs from G. bovina by the absence of the white notum colored with dark brown spots and short caryophyllidia.

(Figures 2G, 2H, 3E, 3F)
Material examined. Argentina, Río Negro, Caleta Los Hornitos, four specimens, intertidal, December 2017 (one specimen deposited, MLP-Ma 14656).
Description. Length up to 40 mm, body white, yellow to orange or dark gray, with dark spots on the dorsum. Dorsal mantle is densely covered with tubercles of two different sizes. Rhinophores lamellate, 12 to 16 lamellae. 6-8 bi or tripinnate gill leaves around the anal papilla (Figure 2G). Radular formula is 16 x 12.24.0.24.12 (MLP-Ma 14656). The lateral teeth with small curved and pointed cusp. Marginal teeth delicate, very close standing lamellae (Figure 3E, 3F).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Argentina, San Matías gulf (Scarabino 1977), Northern Chubut, Patagonia to Malvinas (Falkland) Islands (Schrödl 2000, Muniain 2001). Found in hard and intertidal bottoms under rocks up to 25 m depth.
Biology. The egg masses of this species are gelatinous yellowish color tape of about 20 mm in length, with up to three full spiral turns. The egg mass is deposited on rocks (Figure 2H).
Remarks. Only one species of Geitodoris is recorded for the Magellanic Province: Geitodoris patagonica. Another species, Geitodoris pusae (Marcus 1955), known from warm waters from Florida along Brazil to the Argentine coast, is an amphiatlantic species recorded by Marcus and Marcus (1969) on the north coast of Argentina, off Bahía Blanca at 68 m depth. According to Muniain (2001), G. pusae differs from G. patagonica by the presence of a reticulum and spicules present in the external duct of the vestibular gland. Muniain (2001) discussed the doubtful record of G. patagonica made by Carcelles (1944) from the littoral zone of Puerto Quequén (38º34'S) as it did not fit the original description given by Odhner (1926), suggesting that it should be disregarded.

Material examined. Holotype: Argentina: Río Negro, Balneario Las Grutas, one specimen, 8m, 04/2017 (MLPMa 14834, 9mm). Additional material: Plataforma: one specimen, 12m, 03/2017; one specimen, 8 m, 01/02/2018.
Description. Length up to 12 mm, body elongated and smooth, pale white with brownish spots extending over the entire mantle, including gills and rhinophores. A white notal crest runs along the posterior dorsal area, from the base of the gills to the end of the tail. It has two pairs of dorsal processes, one on the rhinophores and the other on the gills. Short and conical oral tentacles. Rhinophores foliated with 13 leaves. Tripinnate gills, arranged in a semicircle around the anus (Figure 4A). Radular formula 32 x 0.1.0.1.0. (MLP-Ma 14834). Lateral teeth are rectangular, with eight large denticles and between each of these there are three to six smaller denticles. External cusp of each lateral tooth more elongated and robust. Masticatory armature composed of plates. Masticatory edge slightly curved with denticles that decrease in size towards the interior of the plates (Figure 5A, 5B).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Only known from Balneario Las Grutas (40°49.291'S; 065° 04.498'W), Río Negro, Argentina (Cetra & Roche 2019). Found on rocky bottoms between four and 12 m depth.
Remarks. This species has been recently described (see Cetra & Roche 2019). The family Goniodorididae has two species in the Argentine Sea, Ancula fuegiensis Odhner, 1926 and Trapania rocheae. The first one lacks records in the Argentine Sea since its original description by Odhner (1926) from Ushuaia, being recorded in the Chilean Pacific by Fischer and Ortea (1996) and Schrödl (2003). Both species have a similar coloration pattern differing in the location of the spots that, in A. fuegiensis, are found only on the dorsum around the gills, while in T. rocheae the spots extend throughout the body including rhinophores, digitiform processes and gills. The radulae are also different, A. fuegiensis presents marginal teeth, which are absent in the genus Trapania.

Material examined. Argentina, San Matías gulf: Plataforma, one specimen, 10 m, 21/01/2018; Isla, two specimens, 9 m, 30/03/2018.
Description. Length up to 30 mm, body elongated, white with orange dorsal lines, laterally spotted with yellow. Nine unipinnate posterior dorsal gill leaves, surrounding the anal papilla. A pair of digitiform projections surrounding the gills. Rhinophores lamellate with 18-20 lamellae. 6-7 digitiform processes in the oral veil (Figure 4C). The radular formula is 14 x 4.2.0.2.4. (MLP-Ma 14661). Rachidian teeth absent. The lateral teeth are simple with a spur on the end, the first inner lateral teeth differ in shape from the second one, usually larger; marginal teeth reduced. Jaw with a winglike process (Figure 5E, 5F).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Brazil, S„o Paulo (Rios 1975) and Argentina, Mar del Plata (Franceschi 1928), Puerto Quequén (Carcelles 1944) both in Buenos Aires Province; Punta Pardelas, Chubut, Argentina (as “Patagonia”) (42°36´S, 64° 16´W) (Muniain & Ortea 1998) and Camarones Bay (Schrödl 1996). Found on rocky bottoms between four and 25 m depth.
Biology. The white eggs masses are a slightly wavy ribbon with a full spiral turn. The egg mass is deposited on algae (Figure 4D).
Remarks. Franceschi (1928) described a Polycera marplatensis as a variation of the European species Polycera quadrilineata (M̧ller 1776). Muniain and Ortea (1998) reevaluated its taxonomic status considering Polycera marplatensis as a distinct species. These authors redescribed it with the reexamination of the type material from Mar del Plata and based on material collected in Nuevo gulf, Patagonia. In that redescription the authors argue that P. marplatensis differs from P. quadrilineata in the body coloration pattern, with the absence of black coloration on the mantle, the larger size of the mandibles and radula, and a greater number of digitiform projections on the mantle in P. marplatensis. Our observations of the specimens studied agree with the descriptions of the species P. marplatensis, recording it for the first time in the San Matías gulf.

(Figures 4G, 4F, 5G)
Material examined. Argentina, Río Negro: Las Grutas, two specimens, (MLP-Ma 14575); Bahía San Antonio, one specimen, intertidal, March 2014.
Description. Length up to 40 mm, body broad and relatively low, tapering to the posterior end of the foot. Gray, reddish, or transparent violet with white and gray spots. 20 rows of flattened cerata wider at the base. Each row contains up to 25 cerata that decrease in size towards the posterior end of the foot. Rhinophores conical, blunt and smooth. Oral tentacles translucent, longer than rhinophores and with white tips (Figure 4G, 4F). Radular formula 19 x 0.1.0 (MLP-Ma 14575). The radular teeth are progressively smaller towards the posterior region of the radula and have up to 100 denticles each (Figure 5G).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Until now recorded from South America, in the Malvinas (Faklands) Islands, and Chilean Patagonia to Valparaiso (Kienberger et al. 2016). Here extended to SMG. Found under rocks in the intertidal zone.
Remarks. Based on molecular analysis Kienberger et al. (2016) considered specimens from the Chilean coast, previously attributed to Aeolidia papillosa, as a different species: Aeolidia campbellii (Cunningham 1871), originally described from Tierra del Fuego. Scarabino (1977) reported A. papillosa in the San Matías gulf, however, specimens from the western Atlantic coast were not included in the work of Kienberger et al. (2016), so morphoanatomical and molecular studies of are necessary to confirm their identification.

(Figures 4E, 4F, 5H)
Material examined. Argentina, Río Negro: Caleta Los Hornitos, 15 specimens, intertidal, 18/12/2016 (two specimens deposited, MLP-Ma 14659); four specimens, intertidal, 03/02/2017; San Antonio Este, one specimen, intertidal, 24/08/2016 (ESCM-Ma-79); Fuerte Argentino, two specimens, intertidal, 03/03/2011 (ESCM-Ma-81); El Buque, two specimens, intertidal, 15/06/2016 (ESCM-Ma-31); Bahía San Antonio, two specimens, intertidal, 28/05/2016 (ESCM-Ma-32); Plataforma; one specimen, 12 m, 03/2017 (ESCM-Ma-80); Chubut, Puerto Lobos, one specimen (MLP-Ma 13108).
Description. Length up to 50 mm, body elongated, orange. Rhinophores lamellate, with a white apex. Cerata arranged in 6 to 9 arches, with the tips clearer and curved towards the dorsal area of the body. Digestive glands are visible in the cerata (Figure 4E). Radular formula 23 x 0.1.0. (MLP-Ma 14659). Teeth progressively smaller in the posterior region of the radula. Rachidian teeth bicurved, with between 55 to 70 denticles on each side of the central, small, and triangular cusp. (Figure 5H).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Hawaiian Islands, Costa Rica, Peru, Japan, China, and Australia. From Florida to Argentinean Patagonian (Carmona et al. 2014). San Matías gulf, Argentina (Ģller & Zelaya 2017). Found in soft and intertidal bottoms under rocks up to 10 m depth.
Biology. The egg mass is a spiral white ribbon, about 30 mm in length. The egg masses are deposited on the rocks (Figure 4F).
Remarks. This species has often been recorded under the name Spurilla neapolitana (Delle Chiaje 1841). Externally, the color and morphology are not sufficient to differentiate the two species. Based on genetic data, Carmona et al. (2014) identified the southwestern Atlantic species as S. braziliana.

Material examined. Argentina, Río Negro: Plataforma, one specimen, 8 m, 21/02/2017 (ESCM-Ma-82); one specimen, 8 m, 01/02/2021 (ESCM-Ma-55); one specimen, 6 m, 17/08/2021 (ESCM-Ma-42).
Description. Length up to 10 mm, body translucent white. A longitudinal dorsal thin white line runs from the oral tentacles to the posterior end of the foot. Conical rhinophores with fine wrinkles and white tip. Cerata cylindrical, bright orange-red with white tips. Cerata grouped in widely spaced clusters along the dorsum. The anterior group begins just behind the rhinophores and contains 8 to 11 cerata, arranged in rows with no more than four per row. There are four to six posterior groups on each side of the body with a decreasing number of cerata in each group, up to 11 in the former, as few as one in the posterior one. Oral tentacles thin, elongated and slightly flattened (Figure 6E). Radular formula is 21 x 1.1.1 (ESCM-Ma-82). Rachidian teeth with a narrow central cusp, slightly longer than the 5-8 denticles on each side. Lateral teeth with a broad base and 5-7 long denticles (Figure 7B).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Recorded from Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Venezuela to southeastern Brazil (Millen & Hamann 2006). Found on rocky bottoms between four and 12 m depth. Here extended to San Matías gulf, Argentina.
Biology. Found on hard bottoms associated with hydrozoans.
Remarks. Coryphella verta is a tropical species distributed from Florida to Brazil (Millen & Hamman 2006) and is recorded here for the first time in the Argentine Sea. C. verta can be distinguished externally from Flabellina dushia because F. dushia has oral tentacles longer than rhinophores, shorter cerata grouped in arcs, a wider body and broad opaque white bands on the notum, sides, head, and distal parts of the rhinophores and oral tentacles. Internally the lateral teeth of F. dushia are more acute, the seminal receptacle is shorter and larger and has a conical penis with a pointed tip (Millen & Hamann 2006). Another tropical species is F. dana, which can be easily distinguished because it has annulate rhinophores (Millen & Hamann 2006). The identification here is provisional due to observed differences in the body color pattern.

Material examined. Argentina, San Matías gulf: Plataforma, one specimen, 10 m, 21/02/2017 (ESCM-Ma-50); Plataforma, one specimen, 7 m, 03/2017; La Salvadora, three specimens, 11 m, 04/2017 (ESCM-Ma-46); Plataforma, three specimens (two specimens deposited MLP-Ma 14657) 10 m, 08/2017; Plataforma, four specimens, 5 m, 09/2017; Plataforma, three specimens, 8 m, 01/2018 (ESCM-Ma-18).
Description. Length up to 8 mm, body elongate and smooth, translucent whitish with darker spots. Smooth rhinophores with blunt apices, surrounded by rhinophore sheaths. Up to six cerata are present on each side of the body, it has 3-5 rings of 3-6 semiglobular tubercles and a tubercle at the top. The tubercles decrease in size towards the peduncle (Figure 6C). Radular formula 75-90 x 0.1.0 (MLP-Ma 14657). The rachidial teeth are arched with up to five lateral denticles on each side of the central cusp (Figures 7C, 7D).
Geographic distribution and depth range. Key Largo, Florida (Marcus & Marcus 1960); S„o Paulo, Brazil (Marcus 1957); Gulf of Ancud to Bay of Coliumo, Chile (Schrödl 2003), whereas Fischer & Cervera (2005) considerably extended its known geographical distribution to northern Chilean coast (see Fischer et al. 2006) and Peru (Uribe et al. 2013). Found on rocky bottoms between four and 12 m depth.
Biology. Found on hard bottoms associated with hydrozoans. Difficult to find due to its small size. The lightcream colored egg masses are thin, undulating ribbon of about 5 mm length. It is filled with numerous tiny, oval, encapsulated eggs (Figure 6D).
Remarks. The genus Doto has three species in the Argentinean Province, Doto caramella Marcus, Er. 1957, Doto pita Marcus, Er. 1955 and Doto uva Marcus, Er. 1955 (García & Bertsch 2009). This species was originally described for S„o Sebasti„o, Brazil (Marcus 1955), later Marcus (1959) recorded it in the Gulf of Ancud, extending its distribution to the southern coast of Chile. Schrödl et al. (2005) recorded it from the southern Chile in the Comau Fjord. Fischer & Cervera (2005), considerably extend the known distribution range to Tongoy and Tocopilla and the Chilean coast. Uribe et al. (2013) extend the distribution north to Ica, Bahia Independencia, Peru. In the present work, the know range of the species is expanded to the Argentine Sea. This wide southern South America distribution should be confirmed with further integrative studies.

Material examined. Argentina, San Matías gulf: Caleta Los Hornitos, two specimens, 65 m, BENTOS 2008; one specimen, REDE, 2004; ten specimens, REDE 2005, 133 m; nineteen specimens, REDE 2009; Plataforma, one specimen, 9 m, 03/11/2017 (ESCM-Ma-10); sixty specimens, San Matías gulf, (MACN 21311).
Diagnosis. Length up to 90 mm, elongated body slightly angled laterally, pink or orange coloration. Dorsum covered with irregular spots. Oral tentacles bilobed with several finger-like processes on each lobe. Lamellar rhinophores with lobed folds; abundant dorsolateral gills of different sizes (Figure 6F). Radular formula is 58 x 64.1.1.1.1.64 (ESCM-Ma-10). Rachidian teeth broad and tricuspid, all cusps strong. First lateral teeth broad-based with a short cusp. Outer lateral teeth simple, without cusps (Figures 7E, 7F). Mandibles are large with denticles on the chewing edges.
Geographic distribution and depth range. From northern Uruguay to Central Chile; San Jorge gulf, Argentina (García-Matucheski & Muniain 2011); Gulf of Ancud to Coliumo Bay (Schrödl 2003). Found on rocky bottoms between four and 25 m depth.
Remarks. The morphological characteristics of the specimens examined in this work agree with the original description of Tritonia odhneri Marcus, 1959. The Chilean and Argentinean populations of warm-adapted T. odhneri may be geographically separated, but still appear morphologically identical (Schrödl 2009). Moles et al. (2021) consider that Tritonia odhneri is a single species distributed around Cape Horn, Chile or that it is undergoing a process of speciation. This species was previously confused with the similarly colored Marionia cucullata (Couthouy, 1852) found in northern Argentina and Brazil but molecular analysis confirmed that they are distinct (Moles et al. 2021). Although M. cucullata has been mentioned by Scarabino (1977) in the SMG, it has not been collected again and no material of the species belonging to the gulf has been found in the museum collections consulted. A comparative revision of South Atlantic Tritonia species is needed.

description: Nicardipine is a type of calcium channel blocker that is commonly used in the treatment of angina pectoris, hypertension, and related cardiovascular disorders. This systematic review assesses the reported pharmacokinetic (PK) and associated pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of nicardipine in humans. An exhaustive literature search using four internet databases was conducted up to 5 October 2023, which yielded 871 papers, of which 32 fulfilled the eligibility requirements by including human PK and related PD data. The area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of nicardipine rise proportionately with increasing dosage. One study revealed that AUC0-∞ of nicardipine was increased by 5-fold in hepatic cirrhosis patients compared to the control subjects. Moreover, related PD data in renal-impaired hypertensive patients revealed that a notable reduction in blood pressure was associated with nicardipine administration. This review covers comprehensive data on clinical PK, drug–drug interaction studies, effects of dosage form on ADME, and associated PD parameters of nicardipine using all relevant published studies. The present study will also aid in the development and evaluation of PK models for suggesting model-informed dosing regimens. CRD42024533051.

Notes:—There are two sheets from Blanchet 2606 at P, but one sheet belonged to E. Drake’s herbarium, donated to P in 1904 (see Bureau 1904; Le Bras et al. 2017). Therefore, we assume the sheet with a short description and drawing made by Naudin as the holotype of M. taxifolia.
The specimen Glaziou 19216 at P has the following annotation “ Minas Gerais Serra do Inficionado, prés Caraça dans le campo”. John Julis Wurdack (1921–1998) pointed out in a handwritten label attached to the sheet: “seems to be the same collection of Schreiner- Schwacke 6987 from BR; probably, this specimen is an isotype of M. schreinerii ”. We agree with Wurdack that this specimen is a duplicate of Schwacke 6987 and consider this number an isolectotype. Probably this represents more erroneous data from Glaziou collections (see Wurdack 1970). The type material of M. taxifolia matches M. schreinerii and is considered here as a synonym.
Microlicia taxifolia is a shrub ca. 50 cm tall with branches, leaves, hypanthium, and sepals covered with a dense indumentum of spherical glands. The leaves are discolorous, ascending with a short petiole 0.5–1.3 mm long. The leaf blades are oblong-lanceolate (10–15 × 1.5–2 mm) with slightly acute to obtuse apices, attenuate bases, entire margins, and a prominent central vein. The flowers have short pedicels 0.7–1 mm long, cylindrical and slightly costate hypanthium, triangular to linear sepals, shorter than the hypanthium length, and pink petals. The dimorphic stamens have ovate-oblong and polysporangiate anthers with a short beak and ventral appendages prolonged on both stamen whorls.
