| 2:38a | [Botany • 2022] Hohenbergia amargosensis (Bromeliaceae: Bromelioideae) • A New ornamental Species from Bahia, Brazil
Abstract The authors describe Hohenbergia amargosensis, a new ornamental species of Bromeliaceae from the Atlantic Forest of the Amargosa city, in Bahia state, Brazil. This new species is morphologically related to H. reconcavensis, but can be distinguished from it by the larger plant size when in bloom, longer inflorescence with laxly arranged branches, and a broader diameter at the base, primary bracts equaling to exceeding the primary branches, primary branches with longer stipe, and lilac petals. Additionally, its conservation status and phenology are discussed, and the illustrations of this new species and its morphologically close relatives are compared. Keywords: Atlantic Forest, Hohenbergia reconcavensis, Poales, Amargosa, Monocots    Hohenbergia amargosensis E.H.Souza & Leme, sp. nov. Etymology:—The specific epithet amargosensis refers to the type locality, were the first collecting was carried out in 1996, in the municipality of Amargosa, Bahia. Amargosa is located in the region known as Recôncavo, in the Vale do Jiquiriçá. It is referred as “Cidade Jardim” (Garden City) due to the beauty of its squares and gardens, an attraction for residents and visitors. Everton Hilo de Souza, Tiago Abreu da Silva, Lidyanne Y. S.

| 2:52a | [Ichthyology • 2024] Curculionichthys monolechis • A New Species of Curculionichthys (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the Saramacca and Marowijne River Basins, Suriname and French Guiana
Abstract A new species of Curculionichthys is described from the Saramacca and Marowijne (=Maroni) River basins in Suriname and French Guiana, eastern Guiana Shield. The new species possesses five of the seven diagnostic characteristics of the genus with the most remarkable morphological trait that distinguishes it from congeners being the presence of a single rostral plate. A genetic comparison with C. karipuna, the geographically closest species, showed a minimal distance of 5% in gene coI between individuals of the two species. The geographic distribution further extends the distribution of the genus across the Guiana Shield and represents the first species of the genus described from outside Brazil.
Curculionichthys monolechis, new species Etymology.— Curculionichthys monolechis is from the Greek (monos), one, single, and (lekos), plate, in reference to the single rostral plate. A noun in apposition. Andressa de Morais, Suelen P. Gamarra, Roberto E. Reis. 2024. A New Species of Curculionichthys (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the Saramacca and Marowijne River Basins, Suriname and French Guiana. Ichthyology & Herpetology. 112(1):60-68. DOI: 10.1643/i2023051 Uma nova espécie de Curculionichthys é descrita das bacias dos rios Saramacca e Marowijne (=Maroni), no leste do Escudo das Guianas, no Suriname e Guiana Francesa. A nova espécie possui cinco das sete características diagnosticas do gênero, sendo a característica morfológica mais marcante que a distingue das demais congêneres a presença de placa rostral única. A comparação genética com C. karipuna, a espécie geograficamente mais próxima, mostrou uma distância mínima de 5% entre os indivíduos das duas espécies. A distribuição geográfica da espécie estende a ocorrência do gênero no Escudo das Guianas e representa a primeira espécie descrita de fora do Brasil. |
