Abstract

A checklist with preliminary conservation assessments of native South American species of Acalypha is presented. This work is supported by the study of ca 6500 herbarium specimens and an in-depth literature review. As a result, 87 species (83 native and four introduced) and eight subspecies are accepted, and a further 395 names are considered synonyms. Geographical distribution, habitat, and altitudinal range for all species are also indicated. Brazil is the richest country in number of species of Acalypha (40), followed by Peru (32), Bolivia (29), Colombia and Ecuador—including Galapagos Islands—(24), Venezuela (18), Argentina (17), Paraguay (13), Guyana (8), Uruguay (5), French Guiana (4), and Suriname (3). The presence of the genus Acalypha in Chile is reported for the first time, alongside new country records of A. poiretii in Peru and A. venezuelica in Guatemala. The specimens previously identified as A. plicata from Colombia and Venezuela, are here considered belonging to A. cuspidata. The red list provided follows IUCN criteria and includes 39 species and three subspecies, 47% of total native species of Acalypha in South America: 16 species and one subspecies Critically Endangered (nine of them probably extinct), 15 species and two subspecies Endangered, and eight species Vulnerable.

南美洲Acalypha L.（大戟科）名录及红色名录

介绍了一份清单，其中包括对南美洲原生Acalypha物种的初步保护评估。这项工作得到了对约6500个植物标本馆标本的研究和深入的文献综述的支持。结果，87个物种（83个本地物种和4个引进物种）和8个亚种被接受，另有395个名称被认为是同义词。还指出了所有物种的地理分布、栖息地和海拔范围。巴西是Acalypha物种数量最多的国家（40种），其次是秘鲁（32种）、玻利维亚（29种）、哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔（包括加拉帕戈斯群岛）（24种）、委内瑞拉（18种）、阿根廷（17种）、巴拉圭（13种）、圭亚那（8种）、乌拉圭（5种）、法属圭亚那（4种）和苏里南（3种）。智利首次报道了Acalypha属的存在，秘鲁的A.poiretii和危地马拉的A.venezuelica也有新的国家记录。先前被确认为来自哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉的A.plicata标本，在这里被认为属于A.cuspidata。提供的红色名录遵循国际自然保护联盟的标准，包括39个物种和3个亚种，占南美洲Acalypha本土物种总数的47%：16个物种和1个亚种极度濒危（其中9个可能已灭绝），濒危物种15种，亚种2种，易危物种8种。

期刊介绍： EJT is a fully refereed, international, fully electronic Open Access journal in descriptive taxonomy, covering subjects in zoology, entomology, botany (in its broadest sense), and palaeontology. EJT-papers must be original and adhere to high scientific (content) and technical (language, artwork, etc.) standards. Manuscripts that are clearly substandard in either of these categories will not be sent out for review. EJT is supported by a consortium of European Natural History Institutes, but its scope is global. Both authorship and geographical region of study need not be European. Authors are, however, strongly encouraged to involve European Natural History collections by consulting material or by depositing specimens (e.g. types and figured material) related to their published paper in the collection of a European Natural History Institute.
