Abstract Polietina is a genus of Muscidae found in the New World, particularly in the Neotropical region. The genus is currently classified within the subfamily Muscinae and consists of 15 species whose phylogenetic relationships have been previously studied using morphological data. In our study, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis based on 37 morphological characters sourced from the literature and eight molecular markers (12S, 16S, 18S, 28S, cytochrome C oxidase subunit I, cytochrome b, region 4 of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase-aspartate transcarbamoylase dihydroorotase, and elongation factor 1-ɑ), totaling 5366 characters. We obtained molecular data for eight species of the genus and four outgroup taxa from original sequencing and public repositories. We used Bayesian posterior probabilities to estimate the topology, as follows: (P. flavidicincta ((P. rubella (P. concina (P. wulpi, P. orbitalis))) (P. steini ((P. flavithorax (P. ponti, Polietina sp.)) (P. major (P. prima (P. bicolor (P. minor (P. univittata, Polietina sp.))))))))). The reciprocal monophyly of all species for which more than one identified sequence was available is supported by our results. Our analysis largely supports the previously published hypotheses regarding the phylogeny of Polietina. However, major differences were observed between the locations of P. flavidicincta and P. flavithorax. Additionally, we discuss the identity of unidentified Polietina specimens with sequences published in GenBank or new sequences produced as part of our study.

The Brazilian arnica Solidago chilensis Meyen (Asteraceae), a plant traditionally used in ethnopharmacology for trauma treatment, is widely distributed across South America, including all regions of Brazil. This study aimed to identify and characterize gall-inducing insects associated with fused S. chilensis flowers. Flower branches were collected twice in March 2023 from Paraná, Brazil. The branches were dried and examined under a stereomicroscope, with galls subjected to micro-computed tomography (µCT). In the second collection, fresh branches were examined for the morphological characterization of floral heads. Galled flowers were removed and divided into three groups: 1) placed in an emergence chamber to obtain adults, 2) dissected to extract larvae and pupae, and 3) fixed in ethanol for µCT analysis. Macroscopic examination revealed two flower types for S. chilensis: hermaphroditic disc flowers (fused or non-fused) and ray flowers (ligulate). The gall-inducing insect was identified as Asphondylia paranaensis sp. nov. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a new species, and was described and illustrated based on its larval, pupal, male, female, and gall morphologies. The µCT provided novel insights into the pupal stage, and exuvia within the flower. This study highlights the importance of identifying new species, particularly medicinal plants, because gall-inducing insects may alter a plant’s metabolism and chemical composition, potentially influencing its biological properties. Further studies are required to assess the ecological and pharmacological effects of these interactions.

The Atlantic Forest in Brazil is a biodiversity hotspot, with the Araucaria Forest as one of its unique ecosystems. This study updates the species of bats from Balsa Nova, Paraná, by combining literature records, museum specimens, and recent fieldwork. We document 22 species, including three new records for the area. Additionally, we provide reproductive data for Anoura geoffroyi and Myotis riparius. Balsa Nova has the highest recorded bat species richness in the Araucaria Forest. Continued sampling efforts will likely reveal further species, enhancing our understanding of the region's chiropteran diversity.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo atualizar a lista de espécies de morcegos de Balsa Nova, Paraná, combinando registros da literatura, espécimes em museu e trabalhos de campo recentes, documentando 22 espécies, incluindo três novos registros para a área. Ademais, fornecemos dados reprodutivos para Anoura geoffroyi e Myotis riparius. Balsa Nova é a área com a maior riqueza de espécies de morcegos registrada na Floresta com Araucárias. Esforços contínuos de amostragem, utilizando redes de neblina, armadilhas de harpa e bioacústica, provavelmente revelarão mais espécies, aprimorando nossa compreensão da riqueza quiropterológica da região.

In this study, we provide a comprehensive and updated overview of the biogeographic history of several Brazilian phytogeographic domains: the Amazon Rainforest, Brazilian Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Cerrado, Pampa, and Pantanal. We also outline the main hypotheses that were proposed to explain the distribution patterns and endemism of taxa within these domains. The tropical forests, specifically the Amazon Rainforest and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, were likely continuous during the Eocene optimum. However, global cooling and increased aridity in the late Eocene and part of the Oligocene led to the fragmentation of these extensive tropical forests. This fragmentation resulted in the creation of the dry diagonal, which includes the Cerrado, Caatinga, Pantanal, and Chaco regions. The dry diagonal served as a geographic barrier, promoting the formation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest to the East and the Amazon Rainforest to the West. Despite this barrier, forest corridors likely existed between these domains, playing a crucial role in the segregation of the Caatinga from the Cerrado. The Caatinga is the most recent of these domains, having formed in the early to mid-Holocene. The lineages characteristic of the Cerrado likely diversified between the Miocene and early Pliocene.
