Five species of Eugenia are described, illustrated and compared with related species. Eugenia anisomischa, from the state of Bahia, is morphologically related to Eugenia candolleana, from which it differs by the pilose leaves and flowers; Eugenia cerradensis, from the states of Goiás and Mato Grosso, E. pantanalensis, from the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, and E. tingui, from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, are morphologically related to E. stictopetala, differing largely by its indumentum, larger flowers and wider leaves, respectively; E. zigzag, from the state of Bahia, is distinct from all other Brazilian species by its zigzag branching pattern.

Hypsiboas caingua (Hylidae) is found in northeastern Argentina, in eastern Paraguay, and in Brazil is known only from the southeastern and southern states of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. In this study we reviewed the geographic distribution of H. caingua, including the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, central-western Brazil among the known distribution of the species.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

A obra Marx Marxismo e Dialética nasceu do III Encontro Nacional dos GT’s Marx e Marxismo da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia – ANPOF realizado em Campo Grande, na Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, de 9 a 11 de setembro de 2019. Dois encontros do mesmo gênero o antecederam em Fortaleza, na Universidade Federal do Ceará, em 2015 e 2017. Consolida-se, assim, paulatinamente, uma tradição de encontros compartilhados que fortalecem ambos os GT’s que os promovem, a saber: o GT Marxismo e o GT Marx e a Tradição Dialética. O GT Marxismo foi criado em 2004, no XVI Encontro Nacional de Filosofia, realizado em Salvador e o GT Marx e a Tradição Dialética foi criado em 2006, no XVII Encontro Nacional de Filosofia, também realizado em Salvador. Ambos os GT’s, hoje congregam pesquisadores de diversas universidades espalhadas pelas regiões Sudeste, Centro-Oeste, Sul e Nordeste, dentre as quais se destacam a Universidade Estadual de Campinas – Unicamp, a Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro – UFRJ, a Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais – UFMG, a Universidade Federal de Uberlândia – UFU, a Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais – PUC Minas, a Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul – UFMS, a Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná – Unioeste, a Universidade Federal do Ceará – UFC, a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte – UFRN, a Universidade Federal da Paraíba – UFPB, a Universidade Federal da Bahia – UFBA, etc. Dr. Mauro Castelo Branco de Moura: Prof. Titular do Departamento de Filosofia – UFBA.

The menaced and poorly-known waters of the Bodoquena Plateau revealed a new resident, the stunning Hypostomus froehlichi sp. n., a large-sized armored catfish, which is finally described after more than twenty years since its discovery. The Bodoquena Plateau is drained by the rio Paraguay basin, and is located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The new species differs from its congeners on the Bodoquena crystalline waters by having teeth with morphological and numerical variation in adult specimens. There is a continuous range of specimens having about 20 thick and worn teeth to specimens having about 50 thin teeth with intact crowns and lanceolate main cusps. Additional diagnostic characters are: dentaries angled more than 90 degrees, dark blotches, one plate bordering supraoccipital, moderate keel along dorsal series of plates, usually two rows of blotches per interradial membrane on dorsal, pectoral and ventral fins, and by attaining comparatively large size. Hypostomus froehlichi seems to be endemic to the area of the Bodoquena Plateau, in rivers draining to the rio Miranda. The description of the new species reveals a potential conservation flagship species as it is one of the most seen and documented fish by visitors and divers in the clear waters from the touristic, though menaced, Bonito region in Brazil.

ABSTRACT We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with influence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fly. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant flies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fly was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram produzir e solubilizar a proteína MSP5 recombinante truncada de Anaplasma marginale, e avaliar seu desempenho em um ensaio de imunoadsorção enzimática indireto (ELISA) para detecção de anticorpos contra a riquétsia. O gene msp5, exceto a região N-terminal hidrofóbica, foi amplificado por PCR, clonado em plasmídeo pTrcHis-TOPO e expresso em Escherichia coli. A solubilização da proteína recombinante foi avaliada em diferentes pHs e concentrações de uréia. A sensibilidade e a especificidade do ensaio foram avaliados testando-se 66 soros de animais infectados experimentalmente com A. marginale e 96 soros negativos, com o estado de infecção destes animais confirmado por PCR. Um total de 1.666 amostras de soros bovino, provenientes do Brasil - Rio Grande do Sul (73), Mato Grosso do Sul (91), Pernambuco (86), Bahia (314) e Minas Gerais (267)-, Uruguai (32) e Costa Rica (803) foram testadas nos ELISAs com MSP5 truncada e com MSP1a recombinantes e a concordância entre os dois testes foi avaliada. O ELISA indireto com MSP5 truncada foi capaz de detectar animais infectados com 96,97% de sensibilidade e 100% de especificidade. Nos animais infectados experimentalmente, o ELISA detectou anticorpos do 12º até o último dia de observação (37º dia). Os ELISAs para MSP5 e MSP1a apresentaram concordância de 95,67%, com índice kappa de 0,81. Os resultados discordantes apresentaram uma diferença significativa (p <0,001). Anticorpos contra A. marginale foram detectados em animais de todas as regiões estudadas. O ELISA com MSP5 recombinante truncada apresentou bom desempenho na detecção de anticorpos contra A. marginale, com alta sensibilidade e especificidade, representando uma importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico da anaplasmose bovina em estudos epidemiológicos.
