| 6:53a | [Botany • 2019] Taxonomic Novelties in Andean Senecioneae (Compositae)
Abstract Two new Andean species belonging to the tribe Senecioneae (Compositae) are described herein, i.e., Dendrophorbium azoguesense from Ecuador and D. varicosum from Bolivia. The species Pentacalia todziae is recorded for the first time in Ecuador and the names Dendrophorbium onae and D. onae var. leonis synonymized to D. scytophyllum. Taxonomic discussions and diagnostic characters to differentiate each species are provided, as well as a distribution map and pictures of living plants when available. Keywords: Eudicots, Andes, Asteraceae, Bolivia, Dendrophorbium, Ecuador, Pentacalia, taxonomy  Joel Calvo, Itziar Arnelas and Danilo Minga. 2019.

| 8:33a | [Ichthyology • 2019] Revision of the Subgenus Zonocypselurus Parin and Bogorodsky, 2011 [A Review of the Flying Fish Genus Cypselurus (Beloniformes: Exocoetidae). Part 1]
Abstract The first part of the review of the four-winged flying fishes of the genus Cypselurus is presented, and shows that seven species belonging to two genera were mixed under the name Cypselurus (Zonocypselurus) hexazona, none of which is identical to Exocoetus hexazona Bleeker. A new subgenus of flying fish (Amustotrogon subgen. nov.) and four new species (Cheilopogon marisrubri, Cheilopogon katherinae, Cypselurus bosha, Cypselurus olpar) are described. The validity of Cypselurus formosus Kotthaus, 1969 is reinstated (as Cheilopogon (Amustotrogon) formosus). Three subspecies of Cheilopogon formosus are recognized: Ch. formosus formosus, Ch. f. pseudospilopterus subsp. nov. and Ch. f. andamanicus subsp. nov. Morphology of species and subspecies at different stages of ontogeny is described. Maps of their geographical distribution are presented. A key for identification of flying fish taxa described in the work is included.
