Leucheria arancioi Jara-Arancio, Ratto & Adr. Bartoli (Asteraceae, Nassauvieae) is recognized as a new species. It was previously known as L. diemii var. purpurea Ratto, Bello & Adr. Bartoli. This is a perennial herb that inhabits the western part of the province of Santa Cruz, Department Río Chico, in the Patagonian phytogeographic province. Evaluation of morphological and molecular differences between the varieties of L. diemii showed that there are discriminating characters that warrant recognition of L. arancioi as a new species.

A new species of chiton is described from early Miocene deposits of the Monte León Formation, in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Callochiton monteleonensis n. sp. clearly differs from known fossil and Recent species of the southwestern Atlantic because the central area of its intermediate valves has a stepped appearance, in which each step is marked by a longitudinal rib. It is similar to Callochiton kapitiensis Mestayer, 1926, a Recent species from New Zealand. Biogeographic implications are discussed. This is the first record of a polyplacophoran from Neogene deposits of Argentina.

Mitocybe auriportae Cook and Loomis, 1928, is a thread-like, densely pubescent andrognathid milliped that lacks exoskeletal ornamentations and is equivalent in size to the veins in decaying leaves. Its anterior gonopods are dominated by a broad, subtriangular sternum; the falcate ultimate podomere arises subterminally and is directed ventrolaterad. The species is known from a single collection 91 years ago in Marin County, California; I report a new locality in Santa Cruz County and redescribe and illustrate somatic and gonopodal features. Mitocybe Cook and Loomis, 1928, is monotypic; a new species from Guerrero, Mexico, reported 30 years ago, is still undescribed and, from geographical proximity, probably referrable to Andrognathus Cope, 1869. Somatic features of these genera are contrasted. The taxonomy of Platydesmida is uncertain because it is based on somatic, rather than gonopodal, features and because Brachycybe Wood, 1864, bridges the anatomical gap between the two component families. The family-group name, Mitocybeini Hoffman, 1980, is available to accommodate Mitocybe. In situ SEM examinations of colobognath gonopods do not show details of the anterior gonopod sternum, and studies on dissected gonopods are recommended.

Onobrychis farimanensis is described as a new species and an identification key, illustrations and distribution map provided. The new species is restricted to the north Zharf Mountains between Fariman and Torbat-e Heydarieh, in the Khorasan Razavi Province of Iran. It is a perennial herb, becoming woody at the base and has long wing petals, standard as long as the keel, and pods loosely covered by appressed hairs. The new species differs from morphologically similar taxa, O. alamutensis and O. major, in several morphological characters such as plant height, stem indumentum, leaflet length and indumentum, bract length, calyx length, corolla colour, and pod size and shape.
