Part III of the Catalogue of the Fossil Cephalopoda in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), by A. H. Foord and G. C. Crick, was published in 1897. Since then much fresh material has come into my hands and it is now possible to give much more accurate and fuller details of the horizons and localities at which the various species occur. This is of special importance, in view of the fact that the Goniatites can be used as zone indices of the Carboniferous Series from the upper part of the Dibunophyllum beds (D2 of Dr. Vaughan) up to the Middle Coal-measures. This I showed to be the case in my Presidential address to the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union, and published in the Naturalist, April to July, 1909, and elsewhere. Many details have, however, been added since then, and an elaborated and emended table will be published in a forthcoming paper by myself and Dr. Wilmore, F.G.S., on the Carboniferous succession of some Midland areas.

A New Species

The name Nautilus clitellarius was given by J. de C. Sowerby to a Nautiloid from the Coal-measures, Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, and the description was accompanied by three figures, each representing a different specimen. In 1884 the species was included by Professor Hyatt in his new genus Ephippioceras. In 1891 Dr. A. H. Foord found a new species, Ephippioceras costatum, which was said to be “distinguished from E. clitellarium (to which it is, however, very closely related) by the character of the septa and by the surface ornaments. The septa in E. costatum do not form such an acute lobe upon the periphery as do those of E. clitellarium, and they are also a little wider apart in the former species than they are in the latter. Moreover, E. costatum is provided with prominent transverse costæ, which are strongest upon the sides of the shell where they swell out into heavy folds. These costæ are directed obliquely backwards, and cross the septa at an acute angle, passing across the periphery and forming a shallow sinus in the middle. None of the specimens in the British Museum have the test preserved, so that the ribbing has only been observed upon casts. The costæ are equally well developed upon the body-chamber and upon the septate part of the shell in the adult, but they were either very feeble or altogether absent in the young.” A re-examination of the specimens in the Museum collection shows that the separation of the two forms is quite justifiable.

Abstract Grammedessa Correia & Fernandes, 2016 is a genus raised to include some species of Edessa Fabricius, 1803 that is a very common group of stink bugs inhabiting only the Neotropical region. Grammedessa was proposed excluding a few species that were morphologically similar but not completely fitting in the diagnostic requirements of the genus. Grammedessa was also proposed without considering a phylogenetic context. In this work, the monophyly of Grammedessa was tested using a cladistic analysis, including all species that were originally excluded, under both Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian methods. As a result, six new species are now included in Grammedessa, which will be described in a forthcoming paper; Edessa botocudo Kirkaldy, 1909 was considered an unnecessary new name for Edessa hamata Walker, 1868 that was transferred to Grammedessa, resulting in G. hamata (Walker, 1868) comb.n. Calcatedessa gen.n., a new genus sister to Grammedessa, is here proposed to include four new species: C. anthomorpha sp.n., C. clarimarginata sp.n., C. germana sp.n. and C. temnomarginata sp.n. The Calcatedessa–Grammedessa clade and both genera were recovered as monophyletic by Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian methods. An identification key to the species of Calcatedessa gen.n. is provided. The new genus is distributed in Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana, and Brazil.

New Braconid Parasites of Australian wood-boring Beetles with Notes on the Subfamily Hecabolinae (Hym., Braconidae)

A New Species

This paper has been written in response to a request for determinations of certain parasites of wood-boring beetles in Queensland, Australia. The description of a new species of Monolexis entailed rather more research than was expected and has led to the expression of a few opinions of an exploratory nature on the status of the subfamily Hecabolinae. Altogether one new species in the Doryctinae and six (including one new genus) in the Hecabolinae are described.The types of all new species are in the British Museum.

New Evidence

SynopsisA series of specimens from the Scottish Limestone Coal Group (Lower Namurian) is described, among which occurs Adelophthalmus cf. wilsoni (Woodward) from West Lothian, a group of specimens from the No. 2 Ironstone of Loanhead, Midlothian, one of which is recognized as belonging to the new species Mycterops (?) blairi, and a prosomal appendage from Lanarkshire which is referred to the genus Hibbertopterus. New evidence is presented on the nature of the prosomal appendages of Eurypterus (?) stevensoni R. Etheridge jr. which is designated the type species of the new genus Dunsopterus. The Coal Measures species Glyptoscorpius minutisculptus Peach is recognized as an eurypterid for which the new genus Vernonopterus is created. The systematics of these and other late palaeozoic genera which have been included by Kjellesvig-Waering (1966) in the families Woodwardopteridae and Hibbertopteridae are discussed.

A New Species

The specimen described was captured off the Northumber-land coast on August 22, 1921, and its discovery extends the range of the Enteropneusta to the North Sea and to the east coast of the British Isles. It also adds a new genus to the British list. It belongs to the family Ptychoderidae and to the genus Glossobalanus, but it presents features which indicate that it is a new species which has been called Glossobalanus marginatus. It has been suggested that it may be related to a larva which has also been found in the North Sea. It is a pleasure to express grateful thanks to Sir S. F. Harmer and Mr. Kirkpatrick of the British Museum of Natural History--to the former for valuable guidance in literature, and to the latter for an opportunity of examining the museum's collections of Enteropneusta.
