A New Species of Pelidnota (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) from Panama

A new species of toad (Bufonidae: Incilius) from central Panama

We describe Incilius karenlipsae sp. nov., a new species of toad known from a single locality in the Cordillera de Talamanca of central Panama. We describe this species based on a single individual of perhaps what is now an extinct species. We present mitochondrial sequence data from cyt b (675 base-pairs, bp) and 16S (566 bp) to infer its phylogenetic placement among other bufonids. The new sp...

A new genus and new species of Sciaenidae from the Gulf of Panama (Perciformes: Sciaenidae).

It is distinguished from all other sciaenids by having granulated tooth plates on the jaws and the premaxillary tooth plates that are exposed laterally of the lower jaw when the mouth is closed. The new genus shares the following characters with the New World genu...

A new Xylaria species from Iran

Three species of the genus Xylaria (Xylariaceae) are presented based on collections from Guilan Province, Iran. Both morphological and molecular characteristics were used in order to identify these species. Xylaria longissima sp. nov. is described and illustrated as a new Xylaria species and X. cf. striata and X. xylarioides are reported as new records from Iranian mycobiota. Xylaria longissima...
