    [Diplopoda • 2022] Hyleoglomeris alba & H. halang • Two New Cave Hyleoglomeris Species (Glomerida: Glomeridae) from northern Vietnam


    Hyleoglomeris alba Nguyen, Kuroda & Eguchi,

    in Kuroda, Eguchi, Oguri & Nguyen, 2022. 

    Abstract
    Two new glomerid species from caves in Cao Bang Province, Northern Vietnam, namely, Hyleoglomeris halang Kuroda, Nguyen & Eguchi, sp. nov. and Hyleoglomeris alba Nguyen, Kuroda & Eguchi, sp. nov., are described. The former is characterized by a distinct body color pattern; telopods with a large, quadrate, medially concave, sparsely setose, central syncoxital lobe; and syncoxital horns approximately 1.5–2.0 times as long as the lobe. The latter is distinguished by its completely troglobiotic form without eyes, an unpigmented body, and a roundly triangular syncoxital lobe of telopods. An identification key is also provided for the cave glomerids of Vietnam.

    [Botany • 2021] Cleisostoma luopingense (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae) • A New Species from Yunnan, China

     

      Cleisostoma luopingense Q. Liu & X.F Wu, 

    in Wu, Wang, Chi, et al., 2021.

    Abstract
    Cleisostoma luopingense, a new species of Orchidaceae, is described and illustrated from Yunnan Province, China. It is morphologically similar to C. williamsonii, but can be easily distinguished from the latter in having unbranched inflorescence and laxly placed 6–10 flowers; elliptic petals (size: 3.0–3.2 × 1.8–2.0 mm); back wall callus of spur yellow, T-shaped and mid-lobule deeply bilobed at base, column without stelidia.
