All deposited in INPA. Etymology. Refers to its distinct color pattern resembling flowers (from Latin: macula = spot and flos = flower) ( Fig. 1 ). Distribution and habitat. This species was found only in the Amazon forest, Amazonas State, Brazil and in Good’s biogeographic zone 26 of Neotropical region, Highlands of Eastern Brazil : North Brazilian ( Good, 1974 ). The climate of the area is equatorial monsoonal (Am) ( Kottek et al., 2006 ). This is the first species of Salina with rectangular mucro described from South America, and the first species of Salina described from Brazil .
