| 8:17a | [Botany • 2016] Impatiens occultans (Balsaminaceae), A Newly Recorded Species from Xizang, China, and Its Phylogenetic Position
Abstract Impatiens occultans Hook. f. (Balsaminaceae) is newly recorded for China, from Gyirong County, Xizang Province. A morphological description and notes on its distribution and ecology are provided. A phylogenetic analysis yields a placement of the species that it is sister to I. tuberculata (sect. Racemosae) with which it agrees in having a navicular lower sepal without a spur and 4-colpate pollen grains, but differs in elliptic leaves, 1-flowered racemes, 4 lateral sepals and glabrous capsules. Keywords: Balsaminaceae, China, Impatiens, morphology, phylogeny, Eudicots  Hui Guo, Lai Wei, Jia-Chen Hao, Yu-Fen Du, Lin-Jing Zhang and Sheng-Xiang Yu, 2016.

| 9:53a | [Entomology • 2016] Additional New Species of the Genus Obolopteryx Cohn et al. 2014 (Ensifera: Tettigoniidae) from Northeastern Mexico
Abstract The present contribution describes five new species of Phaneropterinae from Northeastern Mexico: Obolopteryx eurycerca n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, O. nigra n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, O. tamaholipana n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, O. huastecana n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, and O. tanchipae n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez. Diagnostic characters are illustrated and information on distribution and ecology provided. Polymorphism and geographic variation of the genus Obolopteryx Cohn et al. 2014 are discussed.

| 10:52a | [Ichthyology • 2015] Chaunacops spinosus • A New Anglerfish from eastern Australia and New Caledonia (Lophiiformes: Chaunacidae), with New Data and Submersible Observation of Chaunacops melanostomus
A new deep-sea anglerfish of the genus Chaunacops is described based on three specimens collected from eastern Australia and New Caledonia. It differs from its congeners in having fine dermal spinules, mixed with simple and bifurcate ones, densely covering the body, four neuromasts on the pectoral series of the lateral line and a combination of other characteristics. Data for Chaunacops melanostomus based on 31 specimens newly collected from Western Australia are provided. An underwater observation of C. melanostomus made by a remotely operated vehicle is also provided. Keywords: Chaunacops spinosus n. sp; coffinfish; Ichthyology; Pisces; taxonomy; ROV H.-C. Ho and M. McGrouther. 2015. A New Anglerfish from eastern Australia and New Caledonia (Lophiiformes: Chaunacidae: Chaunacops), with New Data and Submersible Observation of Chaunacops melanostomus.
