Abundant “hydrozoans” are important frame-building and accessory organisms in Middle and Upper Permian reefs of southern China, particularly in western Hubei, eastern Sichuan, eastern Yunnan, and northwestern Guangxi. The new genera Radiotrabeculopora, Lichuanopora, and Pseudopalaeoaplysina are described, as are the new species Disjectopora beipeiensis, D. irregulara, Radiotrabeculopora xiangoboensis, R. maokoui, R. elegans, R. reticulata, R. astrorhiza, Balatonia robusta, Lichuanopora bancaoensis, L.(?) regulara, Pseudopalaeoaplysina sinensis, and P. major. The assemblage represents one of the most diverse upper Paleozoic “hydrozoan” assemblages known.

Middle and Late Permian sphinctozoan sponges described here are from the Middle Permian Maokou and the Upper Permian Wujiaping and Changxing Formations. Most are from near Xiangbo, northwestern Guangxi, but a few are from Upper Permain patch reefs from Laolongdong in eastern Sichuan. The new genera, the porateImbricatocoeliaand the aporateGlomocystospongia, are described, the latter as the type genus for the new family Glomocystospongiidae. New species described includeAmblysiphonella specialis, Amblysiphonella spinosa, Amblysiphonellasp. A,Amblysiphonellasp. B,Colospongia maxima, Colospongiasp. A,Imbricatocoelia elongata, I. irregulara, I. obconica, I. paucipora, Neoguadalupia explanata, Subascosymplegma?paracatenulata, Rhabdactinia depressa, R. irregulara, R. squamula, Salzburgia nana, Glomocystospongia gracilis, Sollasia absita, andS. spheroida. New occurrences ofAmblysiphonella merlai? Parona, 1933,Lichuanospongia typicaZhang, 1983,Polycystocoelia huajiapingensisZhang, 1983,Intrasporeocoelia hubeiensisFan and Zhang, 1985,Rhabdactinia columnariaYabe and Sugiyama, 1934,Uvanella irregularaOtt, 1967,Stromatocoelia asiaticaZhang and Fan (in Fan and Zhang, 1985), andTebagathalamia cylindricumSenowbari-Daryan and Rigby, 1988, are reported. The described assemblage represents the most diverse Permian sphinctozoan sponge fauna known from Asia.

Inozoans are described from patch reefs on the carbonate platform of eastern Sichuan, from the uppermost Permian Laolongdong reefs in the Changxing Formation (Kazanian–Tatarian) at Beipei, northwest of Chongqing, and from Middle and Upper Permian reefs from the Maokou (Kungurian), Wujiaping (Ufimian), and Changxing Formations at Xiangbo, Longlin County, in northwestern Guangxi. Classification of inozoans, particularly late Paleozoic ones, is still in a state of flux, but genera recognized to date can be keyed using the general nature of the spongocoel, canals, and growth form.New genera described are Intratubospongia, Grossotubenella, Cavusonella, and Radicanalospongia. The new species described are Stellispongia radiata, S. minor, Peronidella beipeiensis, P. regulara, P. parva, Intratubospongia typica, I. tenuiperforata, I. multisi-phonata, I. minima, Grossotubenella parallela, Cavusonella caverna, and Radicanalospongia normala. A Corynella that is not identifiable to species and a sphinctozoan-like inozoan(?) sp. A that has a fibrous-appearing internal skeleton but is poorly preserved are also described. Inozoans and other sponges are major frame-builders in the Permian reefs of South China and our fauna is one of the most diverse late Paleozoic assemblages described to date.

Well-preserved silicified sponges have been recovered from the Upper Permian Changxing Formation at Huangnitang in western Hubei province. The new species Cystauletes grossa and Cystothalamia irregulara are associated with Cystothalamia sp., Colospongia salinaria irregularis Zhang, 1983, Sollasia ostiolata Steinmann, 1882, Virgola? osiensis (de Gregorio, 1930), a questionable inozoan species, and a form questionably referred to the genus Hikorodium? sp. These sponges were detrital fragments that accumulated at the toe of the forereef, at the margin of slope fades and basin fades, at Huangnitang. Amblysiphonella vesiculosa minima Zhang, 1983, is represented in the collections from the Upper Permian Heshan Formation at the village of Guwu, near Heshan City in central Guangxi. Heshan beds that produced the silicified sponges are of Wujiapingian age and accumulated on a normal-marine, shallow-water carbonate platform, or in skeletal shoals within the carbonate platform, and represent a level-bottom community.

Recent collecting in northern Vietnam yielded specimens of several new leafhopper species, two of which represent new monotypic genera, and several additional species not previously recorded from Vietnam. The two new genera (Hochiminus n. gen. and Pseudocestius n. gen.) and 15 new species (Abrus digitatus n. sp., Aeternus ninhbinhensis n. sp., Drabescoides bispinosa n. sp., Tenompoella vietnamensis n. sp., Uzelina (Uzelina) vietnamensis sp. n., Hochiminhus tamdaoensis n. sp., Pseudocestius cucphuongensis n. sp., Phlogothamnus pseudorugosus n. sp., Scaphoidella albopunctata n. sp., Bundera onukiiformis n. sp., Carinata arcuata n. sp., Traiguma hamocauda n. sp., Signoretia tamdaoensis n. sp., Amrasca (Quartasca) curvata n. sp., Amrasca (Quartasca) excavata n. sp.) are described and illustrated and comparative notes are provided. An additional 28 species representing 20 genera are newly recorded from Vietnam. Most of the latter were previously recorded only from southern China. The enigmatic species, Tardrabassus pakneunensis Dai & Dietrich, previously known from two males collected in Laos in 1918, is newly recorded from Vietnam based on recently collected female specimens. The ovipositor structure of the female confirms placement of Tardrabassus in Iassinae. The female pregenital sternite and ovipositor of Hamulotettix ungulatus Dai & Zhang are also illustrated for the first time. A new synonymy is also proposed: Ujna consors Distant, 1908 equals Mileewa puerana Yang & Meng, 2010, n. syn.

Two new genera, Ramidelphax and Consociata, from southern China, are pr oposed within Delphacidae, based on th e new species Ramidelphax albistriata n. sp. (from Hainan and Guizhou Provinces, China ) and Consociata sinensis n. sp. (from Haina n Province, China). Because o f the presence of the post-tibal spur, the new genera should be place d in the tribe Delphacini.

AbstractThe Permian pandemic ammonoids in Nanpanjiang Basin (41 genera, including two new generaGlenisterocerasandFusicrimites, and 56 species, including 21 new species) are systematically described and/or discussed. New species described in this paper areAgathiceras sequaxiliraen. sp.,Akmilleria parahuecoensisn. sp.,Aristoceras liuzhaiensen. sp.,Bamyaniceras nandanensen. sp.,Bamyaniceras yangchangensen. sp.,Bransonoceras longyinensen. sp.,Difuntites furnishin. sp.,Emilites globosusn. sp.,Eoaraxoceras spinosain. sp.,Eumedlicottia kabiensisn. sp.,Fusicrimites nanpanjiangensisn. gen. n. sp.,Glenisteroceras sidazhaiensen. gen. n. sp.,Metaperrinites shaiwaensisn. sp.,Miklukhoceras guizhouensen. sp.,Neocrimites guizhouensisn. sp.,Neopronorites leonovaen. sp.,Popanoceras ziyunensen. sp.,Properrinites gigantusn. sp.,Stacheoceras shaiwaensen. sp.,Svetlanoceras uraloceraformisn. sp., andSynartinskia meyaoensen. sp. A relatively complete Permian basinal ammonoid sequence with six zones has been newly recognized in South China, in ascending order,Properrinites gigantus-Svetlanoceras serpentinum,Svetlanoceras uraloceraformis-Prothalassoceras biforme,Popanoceras kueichowense-Medlicottia orbignyanus,Metaperrinites shaiwaensis-Popanoceras ziyunense,Waagenocerassp.-Propinacoceras beyrichi, andEoaraxoceras spinosai-Difuntites furnishi. The upper three zones are close to being duplicated from the Permian of Las Delicias, Coahuila, Mexico and west Texas, USA; while the lower three zones compare well to those of the Lower Permian in South Urals. TheEoaraxoceras-Difuntitesassemblage, as an index fauna of the upper Capitanian in Coahuila, has been found from the Claystone (3rd) Member of the Shaiwa Formation with the commonly accepted Lopingian stratigraphic age. The updated Permian ammonoid biostratigraphy in South China reveals a possible overlap between the basinal Guadalupian from North America and the platform-based Lopingian from South China.

Two new genera,AnisaegerandDistaeger, and three new species,Anisaeger brevirostrus,A. spiniferus, andDistaeger prodigiosus, extend the range of the Aegeridae (Dendrobranchiata, Penaeoidea) into the Middle Triassic (Anisian) of China. Seven decapod crustacean species are now known from the Luoping biota of southern China. Morphological features of shrimp that are present but rarely mentioned in the neontological literature are recognized as potentially useful in classifying fossil material, including a diaeresis on the exopod of the uropods and multiarticulate flagellae on pleopods. Unusual taphonomic features of the shrimp include fractured cuticle, preservation in lateral, dorsal, and ventral position, and twisted cephalothoraxes.
