    The globally spreading pest Drosophila suzukii and its relative D. subpulchrella (Diptera: Drosophilidae) possess an elongated ovipositor with enlarged bristles which is associated with their ability to oviposit into hard-skinned fruits. Other species of the genus ovipositing in damaged fruit and decaying material have blunt ovipositors with small bristles. In insects, the ability to cut or penetrate hard substrates may, apart from the intrusion organ’s shape, also depend on the incorporation of metals in the cuticle. Here, we hypothesized that D. suzukii and D. subpulchrella have more metal-enriched ovipositors than the closely related D. melanogaster, D. biarmipes and D. mimetica (all unable to attack hard-skinned fruit). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry showed that two alkaline earth metals, magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca), occur in the ovipositors of Drosophila, providing the first evidence of metal-enriched ovipositors in Diptera. Mg occurred in all individuals of D. suzukii and D. subpulchrella but in no individuals of the other species. Mg was only detected in the ovipositor bristles, with up to about 0.3%wt, suggesting that these structures play an important role in drilling fruit skin. Ca, on the other hand, occurred rarely and in traces across most species, and was detected both in and out of bristles. We suggest that Mg-enrichment may represent an adaptation to hard-skinned fruit oviposition, and, together with its modified ovipositor morphology, may further explain why D. suzukii is so successful as an invader

(Figure 8).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Comments:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Meriania acida&lt;/i&gt; is only known in Peru from the original material collected by A. Raimondi in 1878. It is characterized by its calyptrate calyces without dorsal projections (Fig. 8E) and campanulate, reddish-orange corollas. In Peru there are three other species with calyptrate calyces (&lt;i&gt;M. escalerensis&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. sessilifolia&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;M. tomentosa&lt;/i&gt;). However, &lt;i&gt;M. escalerensis&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;M. sessilifolia&lt;/i&gt; have spreading, deep pink to reddish-purple corollas. In addition, &lt;i&gt;M. escalerensis&lt;/i&gt; has calyces with circumscissile dehiscence (vs. irregular in &lt;i&gt;M. acida,&lt;/i&gt; Fig. 8E) and stamen connectives with blunt ascending dorsal appendages (vs. absent). On the other hand, &lt;i&gt;M. sessilifolia&lt;/i&gt; shares with &lt;i&gt;M. acida&lt;/i&gt; the calyces with irregular dehiscence but the former is clearly distinguishable by its sessile leaves [vs. clearly petiolate, (1.5&ndash;) 2.2&ndash;3.4 cm long]. The Peruvian species most similar to &lt;i&gt;M. acida&lt;/i&gt; is &lt;i&gt;M. tomentosa&lt;/i&gt;, but they can be differentiated by the petal length (9&ndash;10 mm long vs. 20&ndash;24 mm long) and the shape of the descending dorso-basal appendages of the stamen connectives (acute vs. blunt).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Based on a collection made in Amazonas (&lt;i&gt;Wurdack 1054&lt;/i&gt;), Wurdack (1964, 1976) considered &lt;i&gt;M. acida&lt;/i&gt; to be closely related to &lt;i&gt;M. denticulata&lt;/i&gt; (Gleason) Wurdack, from Ecuador, because both share subcalyptrate calyces and small dorsal projections on the calyx. However, after a detailed analysis we recognized &lt;i&gt;Wurdack 1054&lt;/i&gt; to be an undescribed species, and proposed &lt;i&gt;M. juanjil&lt;/i&gt; (Fernandez-Hilario &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; 2022). &lt;i&gt;Meriania acida&lt;/i&gt; is easily distinguishable from &lt;i&gt;M. juanjil&lt;/i&gt; by its calyptrate calyx without dorsal projections (vs. subcalyptrate with acute dorsal projections), leaf blades 5&ndash;8 cm wide (vs. 2.7&ndash;3 cm wide) and petals 9&ndash;10 mm long (vs. 11&ndash;13.5 mm long).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Nomenclatural notes:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; Markgraf (1937) cited in the protologue five Peruvian specimens (&lt;i&gt;Raimondi 3341&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;3695&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;3813&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;4844&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;6126&lt;/i&gt;) and one Colombian specimen (&lt;i&gt;Kalbreyer 1293&lt;/i&gt;), so these specimens must be considered as syntypes conforming with Art. 9.6 of the ICN (Turland &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; 2018). The A. Raimondi collection housed in USM corresponds to the specimens that were sent on loan to Berlin in 1926 (Anonymous 1939, 1942), so they may have been seen by F. Markgraf. According to Art. 9.3 and 9.12 of the ICN (Turland &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; 2018), we chose &lt;i&gt;Raimondi 3341&lt;/i&gt; for lectotypification, because this specimen has the highest number of fertile sheets (duplicates).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Distribution and phenology:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Meriania acida&lt;/i&gt; is apparently restricted to northern Peru and only present in the department of Cajamarca (Fig. 9). Markgraf (1937) cited one Colombian specimen in the protologue of &lt;i&gt;M. acida&lt;/i&gt;. However, none of the species currently recognized for Colombia (see Mendoza-Cifuentes 2021) matches the concept we used here for &lt;i&gt;M. acida&lt;/i&gt;. Although the original material collected by A. Raimondi does not give details of its habitat, &lt;i&gt;Meriania acida&lt;/i&gt; probably grows in montane forest relicts. It has been collected in flower in August.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Specimens examined:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;PERU. Cajamarca:&lt;/b&gt; Prov.

(Figure 10).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Comments:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Meriania amischophylla&lt;/i&gt; is easily distinguishable from other Peruvian species by its subsessile leaves (petioles up to 3 mm long) (Fig. 10B), calyces with regular dehiscence (Fig. 10D), spreading, reddish-purple corollas and antesepalous stamen connectives with laterally expanded descending dorso-basal appendages and dorsal appendages as mere humps (Fig. 10G). Laterally expanded dorso-basal appendages have only been observed in six other Peruvian species (&lt;i&gt;M. hirsuta&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. sumatika&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. vargasii&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. vasquezii&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. vilcabambensis&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;M. weberbaueri&lt;/i&gt;). Within this group, &lt;i&gt;M. amischophylla&lt;/i&gt; is more closely related to &lt;i&gt;M. weberbaueri&lt;/i&gt;, with which it shares spreading, fuchsia to reddish-purple corollas and stamen connectives without ascending dorsal appendages. However, &lt;i&gt;M. amischophylla&lt;/i&gt; differs from &lt;i&gt;M. weberbaueri&lt;/i&gt; by its subsessile leaves (vs. petioles 1.3&ndash;5.1 cm long) and distinctly suprabasal secondary veins (vs. basal to slightly suprabasal). &lt;i&gt;Meriania sumatika&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. vargasii&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;M. vilcabambensis&lt;/i&gt; have stamen connectives with ascending dorsal appendages, &lt;i&gt;M. vasquezii&lt;/i&gt; has calyces with irregular dehiscence, and &lt;i&gt;M. hirsuta&lt;/i&gt; has campanulate, deep red corollas.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Sessile or subsessile leaves are unusual characters in the Andean species of &lt;i&gt;Meriania&lt;/i&gt;, occurring only in &lt;i&gt;M. amischophylla&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. amplexicaulis&lt;/i&gt; Wurdack, &lt;i&gt;M. mexiae&lt;/i&gt; Wurdack and &lt;i&gt;M. sessilifolia&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Meriania amplexicaulis&lt;/i&gt; (Ecuador) is the most closely related to &lt;i&gt;M. amischophylla&lt;/i&gt; due to its similar indumentum and calyx with regular dehiscence and dorsal projections. However, the former differs by its petals 16&ndash;18 cm long (vs. 19&ndash;32 cm), stamens with connectives prolonged below the thecae (vs. not prolonged) and antesepalous stamen connectives with ascending appendages (vs. a mere hump).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Distribution and phenology:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Meriania amischophylla&lt;/i&gt; is endemic to Peru and restricted to the Cordillera La Divisoria in the Hu&aacute;nuco-Ucayali border, and grows in montane forests at 1500&ndash;1600 m (Fig. 11).

Huánuco: Carpish, banks of a mountain stream, 2850 m, 09 Nov 1938 (fl.), H.E. Stork & O.B. Horton 9928 (holotype: F! [accession no. 1052336]). Comments:— Meriania tomentosa is the second most widely distributed Meriania species in Peru, and it is recognisable by its calyptrate calyces with irregular dehiscence and without dorsal projections, campanulate, reddish-orange corollas, isomorphic stamens, and cream anthers. In Peru there are three other species with calyptrate calyces (M. acida, M. escalerensis and M. sessilifolia), and two with subcalyptrate calyces (M. juanjil and M. vasquezii). Within these groups only M. acida shares similar calyces and corollas with M. tomentosa. However, M. acida has smaller flowers than M. tomentosa, hypanthia ca. 4.5 mm long vs. 8.5–9 mm long and petals 9–10 mm vs. 20–24 mm long. The original material of M. tomentosa exhibits indumentum covering the entire abaxial leaf blades, short trichomes on the hypanthium and calyx, linear bracteoles, and calyptrate calyces with a prolonged apiculum. Although most of the Peruvian specimens have the same indumentum on the leaves and shape of the bracteoles (Fig. 64B), there is variability among populations. The calyx apices vary from acute to moderately apiculate. Also, most specimens distributed from the department of Amazonas to Huánuco (e.g., Wurdack 1661) show denser indumentum and longer trichomes than the typical form (Fig. 63A). On the other hand, some specimens from the department of Amazonas (e.g., Fernandez-Hilario et al. 1905) have broadly elliptic bracteoles, even completely covering the flower buds (Fig. 63D). In the department of Pasco there are two clearly distinguishable forms, the former (e.g., Michelangeli et al. 2884) has ferrugineous tomentose indumentum evenly covering abaxial leaf blades, and the latter (e.g., Cárdenas & Francis 450) has setulose indumentum sparsely to moderately covering the abaxial leaf blades. Although we have been able to find these different forms within M. tomentosa, in sterile or fruiting specimens is not possible to identify them. This is because it is necessary to examine the calyces and bracteoles, which are usually early deciduous. For this reason, for the moment we have chosen to consider all Peruvian examined specimens under Meriania tomentosa s.l. Nomenclatural notes:— Cogniaux (1887) cited André 4473 as type in the protologue of C. tomentosa but without indicating any herbarium, so it must be considered as a syntype conforming with Art. 9.6 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). Mendoza-Cifuentes (2021) erroneously chose as lectotype the sheet K000329483 because, according to Art. 9.10 and 9.19 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), we must consider that Wurdack (1980) made an inadvertent lectotypification of C. tomentosa when he wrote “ André 4475 (BR, holotype) ” in his treatment of Melastomataceae for the Flora of Ecuador. Humboldt & Bonpland (1813) did not cite any specimens in the protologue of R. excelsa but the specimen Bonpland 3335 is original material because it is associated with the taxon, and so it must be considered as a syntype conforming with Art. 9.4 and 9.6 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). According to Art. 9.10 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), we have to consider that Wurdack (1980) made an inadvertent lectotypification (first-step) of R. excelsa when he wrote “ Bonpland 3335 (P, holotype) ” in his treatment of Melastomataceae for the Flora of Ecuador. However, there are two sheets of Bonpland 3335 housed in P. Therefore, when Mendoza-Cifuentes (2021) chose the sheet K000329439 as the lectotype he made a second-step lectotypification, conforming with Art. 9.17 (Turland et al. 2018). Distribution and phenology:— Meriania tomentosa is widely distributed in the Andes from Venezuela to southern Peru, and occurs from the department of Amazonas to Cusco in montane forests at 2100–3300 m (Fig. 38). It has been collected in flower almost all year round except in January and March, and in fruit almost all year round except in January, May, November and December. Specimens examined:— PERU.

    32. Meriania vargasii Wurdack, Phytologia 13(2): 72 (1966). Type:— PERU. Cusco: Prov. La Convención, Hacienda Guayanay, 1800 m, 15 May 1960 (fl.), C. Vargas 13240 (holotype: US! [barcode 00120390]; isotype: CUZ!). (Figure 66). Comments:— Meriania vargasii is related to a group of Peruvian species (M. amischophylla, M. sumatika and M. weberbaueri) that share densely tomentose to villose hypanthia and calyces, calyces with claw-shaped dorsal projections (Fig. 66E), spreading, fuchsia to reddish-purple corollas, and antesepalous stamen connectives with laterally expanded descending dorso-basal appendages (Fig. 66F). However, M. amischophylla has subsessile leaves (vs. petiolate in M. vargasii) and M. weberbaueri has inflorescences with flowers in (3–)4–6(–7)-flowered umbels in the branchlet ends ( vs. in regular dichasia in M. vargasii). On the other hand, some specimens of M. sumatika have been erroneously identified as M. vargasii, but the former differs by its 10-costate hypanthia (vs. terete in M. vargasii), petals 46–55 mm long (vs. 20–24 mm long) and anthers 14–16 mm long (vs. 9–12 mm long). Meriania boliviensis Cogn., endemic to Bolivia, is related to M. vargasii by sharing similar indumentum, dorsal projections on the calyces, and petal length. Nevertheless, M. vargasii is easily differentiated by its petioles 0.8–1.5 cm long (vs. 1.1–4.4 cm long in M. boliviensis) and venation with the innermost pair of secondary veins distant 0.6–1.7 cm from the base of the leaf blades (vs. 0.9–3.9 cm). All examined specimens have conspicuous claw-shaped dorsal projections on the calyces, except Vargas 10644 which has small projections that do not exceed the length of the calyx lobes (Fig. 66D). Wurdack (1966) considered that this specimen might be a different variety because of its smaller flowers. For this reason, we include Vargas 10644 under M. vargasii with reservations. Distribution and phenology:— Meriania vargasii is endemic to southern Peru (Department of Cusco) and grows in montane forests at 1400–2800 m (Fig. 21). It has been collected in flower from March to June, and in fruit in March, May and June. Specimens examined:— PERU. Cusco: Prov. La Convención, Dist.

[barcode P00228665]; isolectotypes: BR!-fragment [barcode BR0000005628759], F!-fragment [accession no. 935562], P! [barcode P0228664]). (Figures 24&ndash;25).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Comments:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Meriania drakei&lt;/i&gt; can be easily recognized by its externally puberulent petals (Fig. 24F), and it is also the only Peruvian species with a swollen adaxial projection on the apex of the petiole (Fig. 24D). Although Mendoza-Cifuentes (2021) mentions that this character is not constant in the Colombian populations, it is constant in the petioles of the Peruvian specimens examined. Other species such as &lt;i&gt;M. bicentenaria&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. franciscana&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;M. megaphylla&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;M. zunacensis&lt;/i&gt; have an adaxial projection (scutum) on the insertion of the petiole with the leaf blade, but in &lt;i&gt;M. bicentenaria&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;M. franciscana&lt;/i&gt; sometimes those can be obscured by trichomes. However, &lt;i&gt;M. drakei&lt;/i&gt; is easily distinguishable from all of them by the indumentum on the petals (externally puberulent vs. glabrous). A detailed comparison of &lt;i&gt;M. drakei&lt;/i&gt; with related species can be found in Fernandez-Hilario &lt;i&gt;et al.&lt;/i&gt; (2021).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Distribution and phenology:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Meriania drakei&lt;/i&gt; occurs from southern Colombia to northern Peru (Department of Amazonas in montane forests at 2010&ndash;2280 m) (Fig. 9). It has been collected in flower in November and December, and in fruit in February.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Specimens examined:&mdash;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;PERU. Amazonas:&lt;/b&gt; Prov.
