Taxonomia de Aphestia Schiner, 1866 (Diptera: Asilidae: Laphriinae)
Aphestia Schiner, 1866 is characterized by the escape about two times the length of the
pedicel, post pedicel about 2.5 times the length of escape and pedicel together with truncate
apex and also by the presence of lateral marginal macrosetae in all abdominal tergites or
restricted to the first two tergites. The genus had three valid species: Aphestia annulipes
(Macquart, 1838), Aphestia chalybaea von Röder, 1881 and Aphestia nigra Bigot, 1878. Five
synonyms have been already proposed for the Aphestia species and the original descriptions
were very succinct, ambiguous and offered few useful characters for the species
identification. A taxonomic study of Aphestia was realized with the analisis of external
morphological characters as well as male and female terminalia. We analyzed 367 specimens
obtained through loan from many national and abroad collections. We found 11 valid species
and from these, eight are new: Aphestia amazonica sp. nov.; Aphestia clausicella sp. nov.;
Aphestia dicowi sp. nov.; Aphestia fisheri sp. nov.; Aphestia fritzi sp. nov.; Aphestia
nigrifemur sp. nov.; Aphestia nigriseta sp. nov. and Aphestia spatulata sp. nov. Two species
were redescribed: Aphestia annulipes and Aphestia nigra. Two species that were treated as
junior synonym of Aphestia annulipes, had their status revalidated and were redescribed,
being: Aphestia brasiliensis Schiner, 1866 sp. reval., e Atomosia affinis Macquart, 1850 sp.
reval. Aphestia calceata Schiner, 1867, that was considerated a junior synonym of Aphestia
annulipes, is now considered a junior synonym of Aphestia brasiliensis as: Aphestia calceata
Schiner, 1867 sin. nov. Atomosia andrenoides Bromley, 1934, that was a junior synonym of
Aphestia nigra, was redescribed, had its status revalidated and a new combination with
Aphractia Artigas, Papavero & Serra, 1991, was proposed: Aphractia andrenoides (Bromley,
1934) sp. reval.; comb. nov. Aphestia chalybaea von Röder, 1881, was transferred to
Cyanonedys Hermann, 1912, becoming Cyanonedys chalybaea (von Röder, 1881) comb.
nov. Two new synonyms were proposed for Cyanonedys chalybaea: Cyanonedys leucura
Hermann, 1912 sin. nov., type species of the genus, and Clariola nigriscens Ricardo, 1912
sin. nov., that already was a junior synonym of Cyanonedys leucura. The geographic records
of the species were increased and a dichotomous illustrated key for the Aphestia species was
presented.Aphestia Schiner, 1866, Ă© caracterizado pelo escapo com cerca de duas vezes o comprimento

LEVANTAMENTO FLORĂSTICO E FITOSSOCIOLĂGICO EM ĂREA DE CENTRO DE PESQUISA EM SANTA CRUZ DO SUL, RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRASIL
Levantamentos fitossociolĂłgicos e florĂsticos sĂŁo fundamentais para conhecer-se como ocorre a regeneração natural e para planejar melhor atividades de aceleração da recolonização de ĂĄreas degradadas. Visando contribuir com estes dados buscou-se estudar a diversidade florĂstica em ĂĄrea reservada a estudos tĂ©cnicos de uma empresa na regiĂŁo de Cerro Alegre Baixo, municĂpio de Santa Cruz do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A ĂĄrea apresenta 320 hectares e foi explorada entre 2011 e 2012 quanto a ocorrĂȘncia de espĂ©cies vegetais a partir do estudo florĂstico (mĂ©todo do caminhamento) de todas as sinĂșsias e fitossociolĂłgico (mĂ©todo dos quadrantes) para arbĂłreas. Um mapa da distribuição vegetal foi elaborado. Estes levantamentos consubstanciaram os resultados deste projeto. Foram encontradas no levantamento florĂstico 206 espĂ©cies vegetais e no levantamento fitossociolĂłgico das arbĂłreas foram identificadas 34 espĂ©cies. Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae e Cyperaceae foram as famĂlias dominantes. Juntas elas totalizam 102 espĂ©cies o que representa 49,5% das encontradas. A cobertura predominante na ĂĄrea Ă© de campo limpo. Cordia americana e Luehea divaricata foram as ĂĄrvores com maior frequĂȘncia, nĂșmero de indivĂduos e densidade

Hexapoda Yearbook (Arthropoda: Mandibulata: Pancrustacea) Brazil 2020: the first annual production survey of new Brazilian species
This paper provided a list of all new Brazilian Hexapoda species described in 2020. Furthermore, based on the information extracted by this list, we tackled additional questions regarding the taxa, the specialists involved in the species descriptions as well as the journals in which those papers have been published. We recorded a total of 680 new Brazilian species of Hexapoda described in 2020, classified in 245 genera, 112 families and 18 orders. These 680 species were published in a total of 219 articles comprising 423 different authors residing in 27 countries. Only 30% of these authors are women, which demonstrates an inequality regarding sexes. In relation to the number of authors by species, the majority of the new species had two authors and the maximum of authors by species was five. We also found inequalities in the production of described species regarding the regions of Brazil, with Southeast and South leading. The top 10 institutions regarding productions of new species have four in the Southeast, two at South and with one ate North Region being the outlier of this pattern. Out of the total 219 published articles, Zootaxa dominated with 322 described species in 95 articles. The average impact factor was of 1.4 with only seven articles being published in Impact Factors above 3, indicating a hardship on publishing taxonomic articles in high-impact journals.The highlight of this paper is that it is unprecedent, as no annual record of Hexapoda species described was ever made in previous years to Brazil.Fil: Silva Neto, Alberto Moreira.

CatĂĄlogo TaxonĂŽmico da Fauna do Brasil: setting the baseline knowledge on the animal diversity in Brazil
The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the CatĂĄlogo TaxonĂŽmico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others

Ommatius kuntur SĂĄnchez & Camargo 2023, sp. nov.
Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 054719BD-FEFC-4018-8102-C785206C86B1 (Figs 16â30, 66) Diagnosis.

Etymology. A masculine noun in apposition, from the Quechua language, meaning condor, sacred animal that in the Andean cosmovision symbolizes the world above or the world of the gods (the hanan pacha). Variation. A female paratype from Ayacucho presents hind femur apically with two anteroventral macrosetae black, in addition the abdomen is mostly black setose dorsally. Holotype condition. Right foreleg missing. Taxonomic discussion. Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. can be separated from other species in the ampliatus group by the diagnosis given above. Additionally, other useful characters to separate this species are palpus partially to predominantly brown setose; fore and mid femora at least yellow on basal third to half posteriorly (Fig. 16); hind femur mostly dark reddish brown to black (Fig. 16); and unusually thick gonocoxal macroseta absent (Figs 24â25). The most similar species is O. quadratus (Figs 58â65). However, through a comparison of the original description, drawings, and images of the holotype, some slight differences are noted. O. quadratus has a dark reddish brown hind femur with the extreme base yellow (Fig. 62), while Ommatius kuntur sp. nov., has a shiny black hind femur with only the extreme base ventrally with a small dark reddish spot (Fig. 16). The hind tibia in O. quadratus is almost entirely yellow with apical third dark yellow; hind tarsus almost completely yellow with last four tarsomeres slightly dark brown towards apex (Fig. 58). In Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. the apical half of the hind tibia and the hind tarsus are dark brown to almost completely black (Fig. 16). The main differences can be observed in the female terminalia. In O. quadratus, according to Scarbrough (2002), the cercus is apically strongly oblique; the internal apical margin of the hypoproct is rounded; the T 9+10 has its apical corner concave with a long spoon-shape depression (Figs 64â65); the S8 has its medioapical margin produced and truncate with corners acutely angled, and sides parallel, slightly raised, joined with a deep notch laterally, notched surface slightly excavated with 1 stout macroseta (Figs 64â65 [socket of macrosetae indicated by yellow arrows]). In Ommatius kuntur sp. nov. the cercus is rounded apically; the hypoproct has a small notch at the apical margin, internally, and with a slight projection internally, subapically; the T 9+10 has rectangular corners and its apical corner is straight without long spoon-shaped depression; the S8 also possesses a medioapical margin produced and truncate with acute corners, and sides parallel, slightly raised (Fig. 29). However, the parallel sides are joined to a shallow notch laterally and the notched surface is not excavated and does not possess a stout macroseta (Fig. 29). In contrast, there is a row of 4â5 stout macrosetae obliquely arranged from the proximal two-thirds of the S8 surface to its apical corner (Fig. 29). Such an array of macrosetae is absent in O. quadratus (Figs 64â65). Distribution. Peru, Departments of Ayacucho (Moyobamba) and Cuzco (Kosñipata Valley) (Fig. 66). Both montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes. Known specimens were collected in April, July, August, October and December. Type material. Holotype: PERU, CU Valle de Kosñipata, S.
