Gargaphia paula Drake, 1939 is recorded for the first time for Colombia in two extreme localities, one in the northern region of the country and the other in the southeast. Moreover, it was found on Calopogonium mucunoides Desv. (Fabaceae), a new host plant recorded for the species.
Gargaphia paula Drake, 1939年首次在哥伦比亚的两个极端地区被记录,一个在该国的北部地区,另一个在东南部。此外,它还被发现在Calopogonium mucunoides Desv上。(豆科),一种新记录的寄主植物。

In July 2022, we collected three groups of Clathrus columnatus Bosc (Clathraceae) specimens (four mature and eight immature basidiomata) from Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. We report these specimens as the first confirmed records of this species from the Galapagos Archipelago and Ecuador. We hypothesize that C. columnatus constitutes a recent introduction to the islands. We provide macro- and microscopic descriptions, including photographs of fresh and fluid-preserved basidiomata, and comments on the species’ taxonomy, ecology, and distribution.

Xysticus grallator Simon, 1932 is a little-known species of crab spider distributed in the western Mediterranean region. We present new records of this species from mainland Italy, together with images of living and preserved specimens, the copulatory organs, and the habitat. A map of literature records provides insights into the known distribution of this species. Additionally, we show that a historical record of Xysticus pavesii O. Pickard- Cambridge, 1873 by L. di Caporiacco is misidentified and in fact the first record of X. grallator on the Italian Peninsula.
Xysticus grallator Simon, 1932是分布在西地中海地区的一种鲜为人知的蟹蛛。本文介绍了该物种在意大利大陆的新记录,以及现存和保存的标本、交配器官和栖息地的图像。一份文献记录地图提供了对该物种已知分布的深入了解。此外,我们还证明了L. di Caporiacco在1873年对Xysticus pavesii O. Pickard- Cambridge的历史记录是错误的,实际上这是X. grallator在意大利半岛的第一次记录。

We captured the Spix’s Disk-winged Bat, Thyroptera tricolor Spix, 1823, at two locations in Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. These are the first records of occurrence of T. tricolor from the state and expand the southern limit of the species’ geographical range by 408 km. With our new data, 52 species of bat are now con-firmed to occur in Santa Catarina; this state has the second richest bat fauna in southern Brazil.

Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) is an African species introduced and widely distributed in South America. We report H. mabouia for the first time in the municipal campsite of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini (province of Corrientes, Argentina) and in Salvador Mazza (province of Salta, Argentina). These new records increase the known distribution in Argentina of this invasive species, and they are the first from Salta, and only the second from Corrientes.

We report the first record of Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792), Common Snook, in the Patos Lagoon estuary (32°S), Brazil. Two specimens were caught in April and May 2021 as bycatch in the fyke nets fish-ery for shrimp. Centropomus undecimalis was previously known to occur south to 29° S. We hypothesize that the intensification of the warm Brazilian Current has being promoted an expansion southward of this fish species along the Brazilian coast.

The Hong Kong Jellyfish Project uses photographs and videos from citizen scientists to document the occurrence of jellyfish in this region. Based on these records, we describe sightings of two previously unrecorded species of box jellyfish, Malo filipina (Bentlage & Lewis, 2012) and an unidentified species of Morbakka sp. Gershwin, 2008, in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. This understanding of where these species currently occur is important due to the potential impacts of box jellyfish on human activities and their role in local ecosystems.

Microvelia albonotata Champion, 1898 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerridae) is a small semiaquatic bug distributed from southeastern Canada to Peru, including the West Indies. Despite this wide range and an easy identification of male specimens, it was recorded for the first time from Colombia only in 2021. Here, we report this species from the country once more, this time based on material collected in a cave in the department of Boyacá.

The state of Rondônia harbors 185 of the 399 species of mammals recorded from the Amazon biome, which corresponds to 46.4% of the total number of species. The state is also an important center of diversity and endemism, especially due to the presence of major biogeographical barriers such as the rio Madeira. We employed trap cameras and track surveys to assess the mammal community in the Base de Selva da Polícia Militar in Rondônia state, Brazil. During one year of survey, we recorded 40 species of medium-sized and large mammals, and, in our study, we recorded the highest mammal richness for a locality in Rondônia, which highlights the importance of private protected areas for mammal conservation in the state. Camera-trap records also showed the occurrence of threatened species. Finally, we provide recommendations for additional studies in this region that is threatened by deforestation and expansion of agriculture.
