Nota sobre o gênero Chlamophora Chevrolat, com a descrição de uma nova espécie do sul do Brasil (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae)

Abstract

Uma nova espécie de Chlamophora Chevrolat, Chlamophora potyra sp. nov. de São Francisco de Paula, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil é descrita e ilustrada, incluindo caracteres da genitália masculina e feminina. Este novo táxon é próximo a C. opacicollis Harold, 1880, mas difere desta última principalmente pelo edeago e, nas fêmeas, pela forma do esternito VIII e palpos vaginais. Espécimes de C. potyra sp. nov. foram coletados em inflorescências de Eupatorium inulifolium H.B. & K. (Asteraceae). Chlamophora mendesi Bechyné, 1951 é considerado sinônimo-júnior de C. generosa Clark, 1865.

The Taxonomic Status of Physalaemus cuqui Lobo, 1993, with the Description of a New Species of Physalaemus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Argentina and Paraguay

“…The smooth dorsal skin distinguished it from P. atim (smooth dorsum with sparse warts or longitudinal ridges; Brasileiro and Haddad 2015). The slender body aspect separates P. albonotatus from P. centralis and P. erikae (robust body aspect; Bokermann 1962; Cruz and Pimenta 2004). Additionally, P. centralis has two black and well-developed ocelli in the sacral region (Bokermann 1962), absent in P. albonotatus .…”

“…The slender body aspect separates P. albonotatus from P. centralis and P. erikae (robust body aspect; Bokermann 1962; Cruz and Pimenta 2004). Additionally, P. centralis has two black and well-developed ocelli in the sacral region (Bokermann 1962), absent in P. albonotatus . Besides, P. erikae bears an interorbital black transversal stripe generally covering a pair of tubercles and warty skin (Cruz and Pimenta 2004), whereas in P. albonotatus the interocular region is smooth and lacks a transverse stripe.…”

“…Barrio (1965) resurrected P. albonotatus after noticing that the advertisement call of the specimens he collected at Helvecia, in Santa Fe Province, Argentina, was reminiscent of Natterer's comments about the call of this species as reported by Steindachner (1864a). Besides, the call of P. albonotatus was considered by him strikingly different from those of the populations assigned to the broadly distributed species, P. cuvieri (Bokermann 1962; Barrio 1965). This author proposed a geographic distribution “Matogrosso-Chaqueña” for P. albonotatus taxon, regarding the Chaco ecoregion in central South America and its extension into Mato Grosso in Central Brazil based on specimens provided by Bokermann and Lutz (Barrio 1965).…”
