Trichocallia delicatula Anker, 2025 DOI: doi.org/10.11606/1807-0205/2025.65.009Abstract A peculiar new species of ghost-shrimp from Bocas del Toro Archipelago on the Caribbean coast of Panama is assigned to the genus Trichocallia gen. nov. in the family Callianideidae. The holotype and presently the only known specimen of Trichocallia delicatula sp. nov. was collected with a suction pump on a silty-muddy bottom under a network of decomposing and partly overgrown mangrove roots. The new genus appears to be most closely related to Callianidea H. Milne Edwards, 1837, with two species in the Indo-West Pacific, and Paracallianidea Sakai, 1992, with two species, one in the western Atlantic and one in the eastern Pacific.Keywords: Malacostraca, Decapod crustacean, New taxon, Caribbean Sea, West Atlantic, Marine biodiversityTrichocallia gen. nov.

Monotropa callistoma Ze Wei, Li J.Liu & Bing Liu,in Wei, L.-J. Liu, Xuan, Mo, Yang, B. Liu, Li et Wang, 2026. 美冠水晶兰 || DOI: doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.271.177609AbstractThe subfamily Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) comprises unique non-photosynthetic and mycoheterotrophic plants. Their extensive morphological reduction often poses significant challenges for species delimitation. In this study, we investigated an unknown Monotropa taxon collected from Hunan Province, China, through an integrative approach combining detailed morphological observation and phylogenetic analysis. We sequenced it, assembled the complete plastid genome and reconstructed phylogenetic trees using both chloroplast genomes and the nrITS region. Morphologically, this new entity is readily distinguished from its congener, Monotropa uniflora, by several key characteristics: 4–5 glabrous petals apically one-quarter orange and basally three-quarters white, 8–10 stamens with glabrous filaments, a nodding berry at maturity and a distinctly earlier flowering period (March–June vs. June–October). Phylogenetic reconstructions, based on both chloroplast genomes and nrITS data, consistently resolved this unknown taxon as a distinct lineage, clearly separating it from M. uniflora with strong support. Integrating evidence from morphology, phylogeny and phenology, we hereby describe it as a new species, Monotropa callistoma.Key words: Ericaceae, Monotropa, morphology, new species, phylogeny, taxonomyMorphology of Monotropa callistoma.

Monotropa callistoma is characterised by its 4 or 5 glabrous petals (apically orange and basally white), 8–10 stamens with glabrous filaments, flowering period starting from March and nodding capsule at maturity. It is morphologically most similar to M. uniflora and Monotropastrum humile, but differs by the characters summarised in Table 2.Etymology. The specific epithet callistoma is derived from the Greek calli- (beautiful) and -stoma (mouth), alluding to the aesthetically pleasing form and colouration of the corolla orifice.Vernacular name.
