AN INFRASPECIFIC TAXONOMIC REVISION OF BEGONIA MICRANTHERA (BEGONIACEAE)
(Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, 2018) Mark C. Tebbitt; Aldo R. Andrada; Eva Bulacio; Germaine Alexander Parada; Hugo Ayarde
Two new infraspecific taxa of Begonia micranthera Griseb. are described. Begonia micranthera subsp. albonervia Tebbitt is described and illustrated as a new subspecies native to the Andes of southern Bolivia (Chuquisaca, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz Departments). Begonia micranthera subsp. micranthera var. flava Andrada & Bulacio is newly described from Argentina's Jujuy Province. Begonia micranthera var. rhacophylla Irmsch. is raised to subspecies and newly recorded from Bolivia. Begonia micranthera var. hieronymi (Lindau) L.B.Sm. & B.G.Schub. is recognised as B. micranthera subsp. rhacophylla var. hieronymi (Lindau) L.B.Sm. & B.G.Schub. The type collection of Begonia micranthera var. foliosa L.B.Sm. & B.G.Schub. is newly recognised as a hybrid between B. micranthera Griseb. subsp. micranthera and B. micranthera subsp. rhacophylla (Irmsch.) Tebbitt. Begonia micranthera var. fimbriata L.B.Sm. & B.G.Schub. is newly synonymised with B. cinnabarina Hook. Begonia cinnabarina is newly recognised from Argentina and is lectotypified. Begonia micranthera subsp. micranthera var. nana L.B.Sm. & B.G.Schub. is also lectotypified. A key, diagnoses and illustrations are provided for all the recognised infraspecific taxa of Begonia micranthera.

Handroanthus abayoy, a new species of Bignoniaceae endemic from Bolivia
(Q15088586, 2022) Daniel Villarroel; Germaine Alexander Parada; Maira T. Martinez-Ugarteche; Bente Klitgaard
Handroanthus abayoy is a new species endemic to the southern region of the department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Morphologically the most similar species to H. abayoy is H. selachidentatus, both species are part of Tabebuia group II according to the classification proposed by Grose & Olmstead (2007). However, the two species have a different geographic distribution, and at least 15 morphological characteristics, both vegetative and reproductive, that distinguish one from the other.
Two new bird species for Bolivia
(British Ornithologists' Club, 2023) Miguel Montenegro-Avila; Nicole A. Avalos; Germaine Alexander Parada; Romer Salvador Miserendino Salazar
We report two new species for Bolivia: Biscutate Swift Streptoprocne biscutata and Buckley's Forest Falcon Micrastur buckleyi, which brings the total number of birds known in Bolivia to 1,449. Additionally, we documented the first individuals of the ‘caraguata’ morph of Dark-throated Seedeater Sporophila ruficollis, indicating that it spends its non-breeding season in Bolivia, alongside typical S. ruficollis.
