Abstract

QUIPUSCOA SILVESTRE, Victor  and  DILLON, Michael O.. Three New Species of Mniodes A. Gray (Gnaphaliinae, Gnaphalieae, Asteraceae) from Bolivia and Peru and Nomenclatural Changes in the Lucilia-Group. Arnaldoa [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, pp.375-404.

Recent studies within the Neotropical members of the Gnaphaliinae (Gnaphalieae, Asteraceae), especially those utilizing DNA sequences, have served to refine putative generic boundaries and clarify internal classification within the subtribe. In preparation of a monographic treatment built upon DNA investigations, we describe here one new species from Bolivia, M. beckii Quip. & M.O. Dillon, sp. nov., and two from Peru, M. montesinosii Quip. & M.O. Dillon, sp. nov., and M. zapatae Quip. & M.O. Dillon, sp. nov. Further, we resurrect a valid name proposed by Weddell (1954), Merope caespititia Wedd., and provide a new combination, Mniodes caespititia (Wedd.) Quip. & M.O.Dillon, comb. nov. A diagnostic key to Mniodes species from Bolivia and Peru is presented.

Keywords : Asteraceae; Gnaphalieae; Mniodes; Bolivia; Peru; Andean flora; sp. nov.; comb. nov..
