“…The Atacama Desert harbors a distinctive biota characterized by some endemic plants and animals (e.g. Saldivia and Faúndez 2014;Valladares-Faúndez et al 2018) despite being the most arid desert in the world (Clarke 2006). Among its singular and amazing environments is the Pampa del Tamarugal, a plain at about 1000 m elevation in the Tarapacá Region, northern Chile, whose name is due to the presence of the endemic Prosopis tamarugo Phil.…”

Morphology and DNA barcode sequences were used to assess the taxonomic status of a micro-moth of the genus Ithome Chambers, 1875 (Lepidoptera, Cosmopterigidae, Chrysopeleiinae), whose larvae feed on inflorescences of Prosopis tamarugo Phil. (Fabaceae), a tree native to the Pampa del Tamarugal, Atacama Desert, northern Chile. As a result, Ithome tamarugensis Vargas, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Its genitalia are remarkably similar to those of Ithome tiaynai Vargas, 2004 from coastal valleys of the Atacama Desert. However, the two species can be recognized by the shape of the phallus in males and the shape of the antrum and ductus bursae in females. The genetic distance between DNA barcodes of I. tamarugensis and I. tiaynai was 3.0–3.3% (K2P), and a maximum likelihood analysis indicated that they are in reciprocally monophyletic clusters, providing additional support for the heterospecific status suggested by morphology.

“…Con la fi nalidad de proveer la misma información, se realizó una actualización de los mismos, para lo cual se utilizó bibliografía especializada (Andersson 1995, Andersson & Taylor 1994, Leiva & Zapata 2008, Porter & Prather 2008, Panero 2009, Dillon & Zapata 2010, Quispe & Fuentes 2010, Gutiérrez 2010, Pruski 2012, Funk et al 2013, Panero & Freire 2013, León et al 2013, Britto & Arana 2014, Robinson & Funk 2014, Saldivia & Faúndez 2014 y bases de datos internacionales (Tropicos.org). Los nombres propuestos para las ecorregiones actualizadas han sido tomados principalmente de las descritas en el LRPEP; en el caso de las modifi caciones de nombres de algunas ecorregiones, así como las nuevas propuestas, se tomó en cuenta las denominaciones empleadas en diferentes estudios realizados sobre su fl ora y vegetación a nivel local, nacional y regional (ONERN 1976, Huber & Rina 1997, Luteyn 1999, Linares-Palomino 2004, Sánchez-Vega & Dillon 2006, Weigend et al 2005, Britto & Arana 2014.…”

RESUMENEn el 2007 se publicó el Libro Rojo de las Plantas Endémicas del Perú, donde se presentó una nueva propuesta de ecorregiones terrestres para el país. Las 13 ecorregiones propuestas no llegaron a ser descritas en su totalidad, ni representadas en un mapa. En este artículo se presenta la interpretación y actualización de las ecorregiones propuestas en el 2007, así como las modifi caciones subsecuentes a las mismas, con base en los nuevos avances del conocimiento de la fl ora peruana y sudamericana, y los recursos informáticos disponibles actualmente. Las 15 nuevas ecorregiones propuestas son contrastadas con anteriores planteamientos de ecorregiones que han sido empleadas para describir el territorio peruano. PALABRAS CLAVE:Ecorregiones, límites altitudinales, Perú, fl ora, endemismo. ABSTRACTIn 2007, the Red Book of Endemic Plants of Peru was published, where a new proposal of terrestrial ecoregions of Peru was presented. The 13 proposed ecoregions were not fully described or represented on a map. This article presents the interpretation and update of the ecoregions proposed in 2007, as well as the subsequent modifi cations to these, based on new advances in knowledge of Peruvian and South American fl ora, as well as available information resources. The 15 new ecoregions are contrasted with those previously proposed and which have been used to describe the Peruvian territory.

SummaryThe little-known and infrequently collected papilionoid legume genus Weberbauerella, is only known from outlying regions of the Atacama Desert. Presently it comprises three species, one in Chile and two in Peru. These small, woody, perennial species, enigmatic in both occurrence and form, are found growing in isolated populations in climatically extreme conditions. They are characterised by the presence of pustular glands throughout. Here we revise the genus, providing a key to the species, descriptions, distribution maps, illustrations, assessments of conservation status and notes on a northern variant population.
