The epithet refers to the municipality of Cristalina, where the new species is found. In addition to being well known for the production of gemstones and crystals, Cristalina is also recognised here for inhabiting ‘precious’ plants.</p> <p> <i>Distribution and habitat</i>. <i>Pombalia cristalina</i> is known only from open savannas and campos rupestres around the municipality of Cristalina, Goiás state, central Brazil (<b>Figure 3</b>).</p> <p> <i>Phenology</i>. The species has been collected with flowers and fruits in September and October, with a single flowering record for July.</p> <p> <i>Conservation status</i>. The municipality of Cristalina is situated at the junction of Brazil’s two major highways, which link the largest cities of the country to its capital city, Brasília. This has contributed to much of the growth and urbanisation of the area at the expense of its natural ecosystems. This region is one of the most important centres of production of crystals and gemstones in Brazil (hence the name), and potential environmental effects of this industry are an intense threat to its natural habitats. Personal observations have further indicated that agriculture is a relevant threat; at least two known populations have been drastically reduced and are struggling in cultivated fields of heavily mechanised crops. There is a single occurrence of this species from a small conservation unit. Therefore, according to IUCN (2012) criteria B1a,b(i,iii), <i>Pombalia cristalina</i> is considered Critically Endangered (CR) based on its very limited distribution (EOO, 13,413 km 2) and the continuing decline in the quality of its habitat.</p> <p> <i>Additional specimens examined</i>.

Souza-Cardoso and Boccioni: A Comparison of Similar Movements
No full textABSTRACT Even though he was not affiliated to any of the so-called avant-garde movements that emerged during his brief lifetime, Souza-Cardoso's vast and prolific artistic work managed to relate to all these avant-garde movements, using beauty and grace to create his works. In contrast, Umberto Boccioni, a very diligent painter and sculptor, actively engaged in the avant-garde movements that swept through some areas of Europe like a wild fire, is an entirely futuristic author. I intend to consider the work of these two artists by putting special emphasis on the fact that they both had the same goal -- namely, the dynamics of the human body. Furthermore, I will also take into account their simultaneous convergence and divergence regarding the guidelines of the ultramodern manifesto.</p

Posterior legs very elongated, twice longer than the body length. Posterior femur thin and elongated, the ventral portion whitish and the dorsum light brown on outer face (Fig. 1 N). Posterior tibia medium brown, serrulated (Fig. 1 O). Subapical spurs: four subapical spurs on each face, the distal one smaller on both faces; on inner face, distal spur located near the upper apical spur. Apical spurs more developed on inner face; inner and outer apical spurs: median one longer, dorsal sub-equal in length, ventral one smaller (2> 3> 1) on both faces (Fig. 1 O). Basitarsus elongated, bearing a double file of spines and two apical spurs, same color as tibia. Abdomen: Abdomen medium brown, whitish in the area below tegmina (Fig. 1 A). Sternites dark brown. Cerci medium brown. Supra anal plate shield-shaped; anterior margin slightly concave, lateral ones constricted on median portion and posterior one rounded (Fig. 1 H). Subgenital plate wider than long, medium to dark brown; anterior margin concave and posterior one rounded with a bilobate apex (Fig. 1 J). Male. Tegmina not coriaceous, thin, reaching the fifth tergite; dorsal venation inconspicuous (Fig. 2 D); stridulatory file with 17 teeth; no other specialized areas are present in the right wing; left wing membranous, semitransparent. Male genitalia. Bearing phallic glands within the pseudepiphallic sclerite (Figs. 2 B, 3 B). Pseudepiphallic sclerite garnished with two dorsal tubular pseudepiphallic arms, with an apical opening duct; its distal half curving towards the apical part of the phallic complex and its apex pointed, without teeth (Figs. 2 A–C, 3 A–B). Pseudepiphallic arms opposite, crossing each other in the median part of the pseudepiphallic sclerite (Figs. 2 A, 3 A). Pseudepiphallic parameres well developed, almost vertical, developing two membranous lobes (basal concave and apical elongated) and partially sclerotized: the sclerotization limited to borders (in dorsal view) and ventral part of the parameres (Figs. 2 A–C, 3 A–B). Endophallic sclerite located deep in a median ventral slit, with low sclerotization and extending until the basis of the pseudepiphallic parameres (Fig. 2 B). Endophallic sclerite with a wide sclerotized lateral projection, forming the wall of the slit and separating the endophallic sclerite from the membranous and glandular area of the phallic complex (Fig. 3 B). Female: Larger than male (Fig. 1 B). Dorsum of the head and disk of pronotum covered by pilosity and bristles (Figs. 1 B, F). General coloration darker than male, mainly the head and disk of pronotum (Figs. 1 B, F); all legs darker than male’s legs, banded with light brown and medium brown stripes (Fig. 1 B). Abdomen pilose, medium to dark brown (Fig. 1 B). Tegmina very reduced, vestigial. Supra anal plate same as male (Fig. 1 I). Subgenital plate small, posterior margin bilobate (Fig. 1 K). Ovipositor as in Figs. L, M. Female genitalia. Copulatory papilla drop-shaped, sclerotized, as in Fig. 3 C–E. Measurements (in mm).

Females (n= 6): BL, 16.97 (16.34 – 18.41); Hw, 3.69 (3.35 – 4.15); iod, 1.71 (1.3 – 1.9); Lpron, 2.28 (1.9 – 2.6); awpron, 3.16 (2.4 – 3.6); pwpron, 4.14 (3.5 – 4.8); LFIII, 17.5 (13.96 – 19.84); wFIII, 3.57 (2.3 – 4.36); LTIII, 18.79 (15.39 – 22.85); LtarsI-III, 5.42 (4.44 – 6.66); OL, 15.71 (13.17 – 17.4). Acoustic behaviour. Not documented. Habitat. Marcgraviella muriciensis Souza-Dias, n. sp. has been collected at night in leaf litter and the specimens were observed next to small cavities at ground level.Published as part of Souza-Dias, Pedro G.
