| 1:24a | [Botany • 2024] Bunium serdengectii (Apiaceae) • A New Species from South Anatolia, Turkey
Abstract A new species, Bunium serdengectii (Apiaceae), is described from South Anatolia, Turkey. It grows in open Pinus brutia forests and in macchia formation of the Taurus Mountains in the district of Akseki (Antalya province). The taxonomic affinities of the new species were determined by analyzing morphological data and a molecular phylogenetic study of nrITS. Bunium serdengectii belongs to the section Elegantia, and is related to B. pinnatifolium, but morphologically is more related to B. sayae. The anatomical structure of the fruit is given in detail. The diagnostic morphological characters of B. serdengectii are discussed. In addition, the geographical distribution of the new species and the morphologically related species is mapped. carpology, nrITS, plant diversity, plant taxonomy, Turkey, Umbelliferae, Eudicots    Bunium serdengectii A.Duran & Kljuykov sp. nova Etymology:—This new species is named in honour of Osman Yüksel Serdengeçti, who is one of Akseki’s well-known and respected writers, poets and politicians.

| 1:50a | [Botany • 2024] Stigmatodon medeirosii (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae) • A New hyperepilithic bromeliad from granitic inselbergs of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Abstract Stigmatodon medeirosii (Bromeliaceae, Tillandsioideae), a new hyperepilithic species, restricted to vertical rock walls of the inselbergs of eastern Minas Gerais, in the medium Rio Doce River basin, southeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. Diagnostic characters and affinities of the new species are discussed, accompanied by notes on its ecology, geographic distribution, and conservation status. The new species is most similar to S. fontellanus and S. lemeanus from Espírito Santo state but distinguished by a set of vegetative and reproductive characters. Following the criteria of the IUCN Red List, S. medeirosii is to be assessed as Vulnerable (VU), reinforcing the need for attention to the conservation of inselbergs and associated vegetation in eastern Minas Gerais.

| 2:30p | [Entomology • 2024] Svistella yayun • A New Species of Svistella Gorochov, 1987 (Orthoptera: Trigonidiidae: Trigonidiinae) from Xizang, China
Abstract The genus Svistella Gorochov, 1987 includes 10 species from Asia, with nine documented in China. In this study, a new species, Svistella yayun He, sp. nov., is described from Xizang, China. Morphologically, it resembles S. rufonotata (Chopard, 1932) but can be distinguished by a smaller inner tympanum, dark-brown setae on the 5th segment of the maxillary palp, and a rounded apex on the ectoparamere. To validate our morphological inferences and support the description of S. yayun sp. nov. as a new species, we performed a PCA based on bioacoustics parameters and molecular analysis. All Svistella species documented in China are distinguished by integrating their songs and DNA barcoding. Key words: COI, DNA barcoding, PCA, songs, taxonomy, Zayu
Taxonomy Order Orthoptera Family Trigonidiidae Subfamily Trigonidiinae Genus Svistella Gorochov, 1987 Svistella yayun He, sp. nov. Diagnosis: The new species is characterized as follows: small to medium body size for the genus; dark-brown setae on the 5th segment of maxillary palp; small, inner tympanum; hind femora without black stripe; tegmina unicolor. It is morphologically similar to S. rufonotata but differs in having dark-brown setae on the 5th segment of maxillary palp (Fig. 4A–F), an ectoparamere with rounded corner (Fig. 5A–C), and a smaller inner tympanum (Fig. 5D–G). Etymology: The specific epithet yayun is for the Chinese phonetic alphabet, 雅韵, which means “beautiful music”.
