Abstract The genus Merismopedia is morphologically characterized by its distinctive colony arrangement yet exhibits considerable variability among species. Recent studies suggested that Merismopedia is polyphyletic, and its most likely true lineage was provisionally placed within the Microcystaceae. However, the available molecular data for most of the

Typification of the Linnaean name Gratiola peruviana (Plantaginaceae)
Abstract The typification of the Linnaean name Gratiola peruviana is discussed. The only original material available is an illustration by Feuillée cited by Linnaeus in the protologue. This illustration is designated as the lectotype for the name G. peruviana.

A new combination and typification of Pouzolzia peteri Friis (Urticaceae)
Pouzolzia peteri, a lesser‐known species from the African continent, is currently classified as a member of the genus Pouzolzia. However, based on the morphological characteristics of its male flowers and leaf venation, its transfer to the genus Gonostegia is proposed.

Nomenclatural changes in the Nearctic Ochodaeinae and description of two new genera (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Ochodaeidae) [PDF]
Generic placement of Nearctic species of Ochodaeinae has lagged behind changes in generic concepts in the group. In order to place Nearctic species into the appropriate genus-level taxa, several nomenclatural changes are made.

Systematic revision of the genus Orodaliscoides Schmidt, 1913 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) [PDF]
The species belonging to the genus Orodaliscoides Schmidt (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) are redescribed and figured. The following new combinations are proposed: Orodaliscoides fimbripes (Brown, 1928) and Orodaliscoides giulianii (Gordon, 1977)

Clarifying nomenclatural uncertainties in Jupunba (Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae)
Molecular phylogenetic studies have prompted substantial revisions in the systematics of the former genus Abarema, resulting in the reinstatement of the genera Punjuba and Jupunba, and a re‐circumscription of Abarema. Despite these advances, some taxa still require nomenclatural adjustments to reflect monophyletic lineages.
