1. A phylogenetic investigation of the Neotropical genus Alphamenes van der Vecht, 1977 (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae)
ABSTRACT Advances in potter wasp systematics have been achieved recently, with classificatory changes resulting from analyses based upon large scale molecular datasets. For the Neotropics, recent hypotheses point to the occurrence of an exclusive clade recognized within the tribe Eumenini. In this group, several contributions regarding taxonomy and systemati

2. Review of the family Rivulidae (Cyprinodontiformes, Aplocheiloidei) and a molecular and morphological phylogeny of the annual fish genus Austrolebias Costa 1998
ABSTRACT The family Rivulidae is the fourth most diverse clade of Neotropical fishes. Together with some genera of the related African family Nothobranchiidae, many rivulids exhibit a characteristic annual life cycle, with diapausing eggs and delayed embryonic development, which allows them to survive in the challenging seasonal ponds that they inhabit. Rivu

3. Chromosome numbers and the systematics of tribe Vochysieae (Vochysiaceae)
ABSTRACT With five neotropical genera and ca. 220 species, Vochysieae is the largest tribe of Vochysiaceae, comprising more than 90 % of its species. Preliminary phylogenetic analyses with matK sequence data indicated that Vochysieae may be paraphyletic, separated into the clades QRC (Qualea, Ruizterania and Callisthene) and VS (Vochysia, Salvertia). Whether

4. Response paper: Morphometric article by Mejía et al. 2015 alluding genera Herichthys and Nosferatu displays serious inconsistencies
ABSTRACT In the present response paper, the article entitled "Morphometric variation of the Herichthys bartoni (Bean, 1892) species group (Teleostei: Cichlidae): How many species comprise H. labridens (Pellegrin, 1903)?" by Mejía et al . 2015 is critically reviewed. The current review pinpoints some of the more conspicuous conceptual inconsistencies and fun

5. Notes on the systematics of the orchid-bee genus Eulaema (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Notes on the systematics of the orchid-bee genus Eulaema (Hymenoptera, Apidae). The classification of the genus Eulaema is modified in order to make it congruent with recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular data. The speciosa group, containing E. peruviana, E. speciosa and related species, is removed from E. (Eulaema) and transferred to E. (Apeulae

6. Revisão taxonômica e filogenia de Orthophytum Beer (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae) / Taxonomic revision and phylogeny of Orthophytum Beer (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae)
The genus Orthophytum Beer (Bromeliaceae) comprises 46 species geographically distributed in eastern Brazil extending from the state of Ceará in the North, to Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo in the South. The growth form of these plants is typically lithophytic, only rarely terrestrial, and granitic or quartzitic rocky outcrops constitute their favorite su

7. Acanthobothrium Blanchard, 1848: diversidade filogenética das linhagens parasitas de arraias de água doce / Acanthobothrium Blanchard, 1848: phylogenetic diversity of the linages that parasitize freshwater stingrays
First we clarify some major points in the taxonomic history of Acanthobothrium. The authorship of the genus must be given to Blanchard in 1848, ocasion in which its first species, Acanthobothrium coronatum, was created. Therefore, the type species of Acanthobothrium is A. coronatum Blanchard, 1848, a junior synonym of A. corollatum (Abildgaard, 1790). Both A

8. The phylogeny of Simulium (Chirostilbia) (Diptera: Simuliidae) and perspectives on the systematics of the genus in the Neotropical Region
Recently, knowledge of Neotropical Simuliidae has been accumulating quickly. However, information about supra-specific relationships is scarce and diagnoses of Simulium subgenera are unsatisfactory. To investigate the relationships among Simulium (Chirostilbia) species and test the subgenus monophyly, we performed a cladistic analysis. The ingroup included a

9. The complete mitochondrial genome of the small yellow croaker and partitioned Bayesian analysis of Sciaenidae fish phylogeny
To understand the phylogenetic position of Larimichthys polyactis within the family Sciaenidae and the phylogeny of this family, the organization of the mitochondrial genome of small yellow croaker was determined herein. The complete, 16,470 bp long, mitochondrial genome contains 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA

10. Monophyly of Heterandriini (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) revisited: a critical review of the data
The systematics and taxonomy of poeciliid fishes (guppies and allies) remain poorly understood despite the relative importance of these species as model systems in the biological sciences. This study focuses on testing the monophyly of the nominal poeciliine tribe Heterandriini and the genus Heterandria, through examination of the morphological characters on

11. Towards a phylogenetic classification of Lychnophorinae (Asteraceae: Vernonieae) / Rumo a uma classificação filogenética de Lychnophorinae (Asteraceae: Vernonieae)
A phylogenetic hypotesis of American Vernonieae based on three molecular regions (ITS, ndhF, rpl32-trnL) and on a morphological dataset reveals the existence of four main lineages in the group. Three of these lineages correspond, with a few adjustments, to subtribes Chrestinae, Lychnophorinae and Vernoniiae. The last lineage is mainly composed of Lepidaploin

12. Análises filogenéticas e filogeográficas do complexo de espécies Hypostomus ancistroides (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) / Phylogenetic and phylogeographic analysis of the Hypostomus ancistroides (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) species complex
O gênero Hypostomus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) com cerca de 130 espécies nominais, se destaca como um dos mais diversos e amplamente distribuídos gêneros de peixes de água doce neotropical. Devido a sua ampla distribuição e alta diversidade, os conhecimentos taxonômicos, filogenéticos e biogeográficos para as espécies do gênero são ainda consi
