Abstract:
We describe three new species of Malpighiaceae that are endemic to central Brazil and related to the Heteropterys pannosa complex, a group of xylopodiferous, unbranched subshrubs with fruit in mericarps that have a strongly reduced or no dorsal wing. Heteropterys tocantinensis is more common in eastern Tocantins State and on the border with Bahia State, and there are a few records from Mato Grosso State. Heteropterys veadeirensis is restricted to northern Goiás State and H. walteri has a wider distribution, occurring in some municipalities in northern Goiás and southern Tocantins. Additionally, we also provide detailed redescriptions of H. pannosa and H. rosmarinifolia, the two previously known species in this complex. All species are considered Endangered (EN) based on IUCN criteria, especially due to the low area of occupancy. Illustrations, distribution maps, and information about phenology and habitat are also provided for all taxa.
摘要:
我们描述了三种新的Malpighiaceae,它们是巴西中部特有的,与Heteropteryspannosa复合体有关,一组木足动物,无分枝的亚灌木,果实在分生果中,有强烈减少的或没有背翅。在托坎廷斯州东部和与巴伊亚州接壤的地方,马托格罗索州有一些记录.异性恋动物仅限于戈亚斯州北部,而H.walteri的分布范围更广,发生在戈亚斯北部和托坎廷斯南部的一些城市。此外,我们还提供了对H.pannosa和H.迷迭香的详细重新描述,这个复杂的两个以前已知的物种。根据IUCN标准,所有物种都被认为是濒危物种(EN)。特别是由于占用面积低。插图,分布图,还为所有分类群提供了有关物候和栖息地的信息。
