Two howler monkeys, Alouatta iroi and Alouatta matogrossensis, separated by genome-wide analysis of 11 howler species across South and Central America. They are the first new howler species recognised in 84 years, with major Amazonian rivers acting as the barriers that split the lineages. Alouatta matogrossensis lives in southern Amazonia, one of the fastest-deforesting regions on Earth.

A cicada from the Albany Thicket Biome of South Africa, separated from Albanycada albigera by dark markings around the hind-wing veins and a pigmented, burnt-orange wing base. Its song centres on about 9.0 kHz with a pulse rate of about 160 Hz, and the two species are estimated to have split about 5 million years ago. It is known from only two sites about 190 km apart and may qualify as Critically Endangered. News article: https://bioengineer.org/hidden-cicada-species-uncovered-in-south-africas-thicket-biome/

 

A flowering plant from Zijin County, Guangdong, with silvery-white hairs on the upper leaf surface and a pink corolla 12 to 15 mm long. Its two fertile stamens have fused anthers, and it sits closest to Oreocharis acaulis and Oreocharis dinghushanensis. A single population of about 800 mature individuals grows in 0.4 sq km, and it has been provisionally assessed as Vulnerable.

When someone is banned from an instance, the instance do not give them the opportunity to transfer their communities they created and have to restart from zero and those communities become modless. Right now even the promise of anti censorship and portability is not there
