| 6:50a | [Entomology • 2022] Graphium septentrionicolus Page & Treadaway, 2013 (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) is A Distinct Species
Abstract After molecular and morphological analyses, the taxon septentrionicolus Page & Treadaway, 2013 is shown to be a distinct species, and Graphium adonarensis (Rothschild, 1896) is placed as conspecific with Graphium sarpedon (Linnaeus, 1758). Graphium huangshanensis Wu & Ma, 2016 syn. nov. is synonymised with G. septentrionicolus. Key words: adonarensis, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, sarpedon complex, Sunda Islands, Vietnam

| 7:14a | [Entomology • 2022] Polyneura guoliangi • A New Species of Polyneura Westwood, 1842 (Hemiptera, Cicadidae: Cicadinae) from Yunnan, China
Abstract Background: The tribe Polyneurini Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadinae) is a small tribe which includes four genera and 18 species, distributing in eastern Palaearctic and Oriental Regions. Most of them, four genera and 16 species, are known from China. New information: A remarkable new species of cicada, Polyneura guoliangi sp. n. (Hemiptera, Cicadidae, Cicadinae), is described and illustrated from Yunnan, southwest China. The diagnostic characters of the new species are compared with allied species or genera. Keywords: Cicada, Polyneurini, Polyneurina, taxonomy, morphology, new species, Oriental Region
 Polyneura guoliangi Wang & Liu, sp. n. Etymology: The new species is dedicated to the collector of the type specimen, Mr. Liang Guo (Fuzhou, China), an enthusiastic amateur entomologist. The name is a noun in the genitive case. The Chinese name “郭亮网翅蝉” is proposed for the Chinese common name of this new species.  Cheng-Bin Wang and Peng-Yu Liu. 2022.

| 9:18a | [Botany • 2020] Sonerila sulpheyi (Melastomataceae: Sonerileae) • A New Species from the Southern Western Ghats, India
Abstract A new species of Sonerila (Melastomataceae: Sonerileae), Sonerila sulpheyi, from the Southern Western Ghats of India is described. The branched inflorescence is the distinguishable character of this new species amongst acaulescent members of Western Ghats Sonerila. A taxonomic description, morphological comparisons with its allied taxa, diagnostic characters and colour photographs of the new taxon are provided.

| 10:12a | [Ichthyology • 2022] Cyphocharax caboclo • Phylogenetic Evidence for the Cyphocharax saladensis Clade (Characiformes: Curimatidae) with Description of A New Species of Cyphocharax Endemic to the Upper Rio Paraguai Basin
Abstract New genetic and morphological data support the recognition of a distinct monophyletic group, the Cyphocharax saladensis clade, which includes C. vanderi, C. saladensis, C. boiadeiro, and a new species. This four-species group can be recognized by modifications in the laterosensory system with instances of incomplete or interrupted poring, by the ontogenetic development of the lateral line with larger specimens having a more developed laterosensory system, and by the presence of a patch of dark pigmentation over the caudal peduncle. The new species is described from the upper Rio Correntes, an upland tributary of the upper Rio Paraguai in central Brazil and is diagnosed by the presence of a thin longitudinal black stripe, by the variable shapes of the dark blotches on the caudal peduncle, and by morphometric and meristic data. New mitochondrial data from paratypes provide clear evidence of genetic distinction between the new species and congeners, and additionally place it as the sister species to C. boiadeiro from the upper Rio Araguaia. Based on the updated molecular phylogeny and biogeographic information, we propose an evolutionary hypothesis with four events of river captures with subsequent allopatric speciation of the new species and C. boiadeiro in the Correntes and Araguaia systems. The new species is suggested to be categorized as Near Threatened, living in a strongly impacted region of the Brazilian Cerrado.
Cyphocharax caboclo Melo, Tencatt, and Oliveira, new species Etymology.—The specific epithet ‘‘caboclo’’ apparently derives from the Tupi, one of the most iconic Brazilian indigenous languages, caaboc (or caa´-boc), which means ‘‘the one removed from the woods.’’ The term is widely used in Brazil to designate a person born and raised in rural areas, generally connoting simplicity and kindness. The name honors the ‘‘caboclos’’ from all over Brazil. A noun in apposition.  Bruno F. Melo, Luiz F. C. Tencatt and Claudio Oliveira. 2022.
