Abstract An update of the nomenclature 49 Caribbean Island‐occurring taxa Plumeria (Apocynaceae: Plumerieae) is presented. We designate lectotypes for following 29 names: alba var. jacquiniana , P. apiculata barahonensis beatensis berteroi biglandulosa confusa cuneifolia dictyophylla discolor domingensis gibbosa inaguensis jaegeri jamaicensis krugii leuconeura longiflora marchii obtusa laevis p...

Five new species, and one new genus of Cerambycidae are described: Drycothaea vulcanica sp. nov. (Calliini), from Ecuador (Holotype male deposited in AMNH: Napo, 29.X.1988, J.S. Miller leg.); Perissomerus machadoi sp. nov. (Neoibidionini), from Paraguay (Holotype male deposited in MZSP: Alto Paraguay, 30.XI.2002, Di Iorio leg.); Cacostola carinata sp. nov. (Onciderini), from Brazil (Holotype fe...

Upon a surface inclined at angle alpha Asterina gibbosa orients upward during negatively geotropic creeping until the average angle (theta) of the path is such that Delta sin theta/Delta sin alpha = const. This is true also in positively geotropic movement. The direction of orientation may be temporarily reversed by mechanical disturbance. The variation of theta is greater at low slopes. Tests ...

Two new species of oribatid mites of the genus Lasiobelba (Oribatida, Oppiidae), Lasiobelba (Lasiobelba) daamsae sp. n. and Lasiobelba (Antennoppia) nepalica sp. n., are described from eastern Nepal. Lasiobelba (L.) daamsae sp. n. is most similar to L. (L.) remota Aoki, 1959 and L. (L.) gibbosa (Mahunka, 1985), however, it differs from both by the anterior part of pedotecta I specifically curve...

The Bali Strait waters become a place for various development activities that connect Java Island and so it is thought to have an impact in the life of microalgae play important role wealth their water resources. This study aims explore distribution marine microalgae, which has potential as bioindicator Sardinella lemuru, well relationship with environmental characteristics waters. research was...
