A Revision Of Erythranthe Montioides And Erythranthe Palmeri (Phrymaceae), With Descriptions Of Five New Species From California And Nevada, Usa, Naomi S. Fraga

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

The genus Erythranthe (Phrymaceae) continues to be a source of floristic novelty, especially in the American West, as evidenced by recent discoveries presented here. Two species in Erythranthe section Paradantha (E. montioides and E. palmeri) have long been a source of taxonomic confusion. Recent research reveals that a total of ten species have previously been treated as part of these two species. Here I present a revised taxonomy for E. montioides and E. palmeri including clarification of species circumscriptions (E. montioides, E. palmeri), recognition of three species that have previously been treated as synonyms …


A New Species Of Genus Laboulbenia (Laboulbeniales) On Craspedophorus Formosanus (Coleoptera, Carabidae) From Taiwan, With A Note On Laboulbenia Asiatica, Katsuyuki Terada, Meng-Hao Hsu, Wen-Jer Wu Aug 2008

A New Species Of Genus Laboulbenia (Laboulbeniales) On Craspedophorus Formosanus (Coleoptera, Carabidae) From Taiwan, With A Note On Laboulbenia Asiatica, Katsuyuki Terada, Meng-Hao Hsu, Wen-Jer Wu

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Laboulbenia taiwaniana sp. nov. on Craspedophorus formosanus is described from Taiwan and illustrated with photographs. It is characterized by a long, asymmetrical perithecium with an oblique apex and a pale-colored lower wall, a slender, evenly tapered receptacle with cylindrical cell I and II and trapezoidal cell IV, well developed appendages with black septa concentrated in the basal portion of the appendage system, and especially by black septa on the distal end of cell g. Laboulbenia asiatica, which was described from an Asian carabid---"Casnonia sp."---in 1899 and was illustrated in 1908 by Thaxter, is reviewed and compared …


The Genus Prolixandromyces (Laboulbeniales) In The Old World Prolixandromyces (Laboulbeniales), Alex Weir Aug 2008

The Genus Prolixandromyces (Laboulbeniales) In The Old World Prolixandromyces (Laboulbeniales), Alex Weir

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Two new species of Prolixandromyces (Laboulbeniales) parasitic on Rhagovelia (Heteroptera: Veliidae) are described and illustrated: Prolixandromyces benjaminii from the Philippine Islands and P. lanceolatus from Africa (Madagascar, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and South Africa) and Asia (Indonesia: Sulawesi, Sumba, Timor; Malaysia: Selangor; and Sri Lanka). In order to accommodate these species the circumscription of Prolixandromyces is emended. The new taxa are compared with the one known species from the Old World, P. triandrus from Spain, and with the five known New World taxa.
