Dimeropyge öpik, 1937, is a genus currently composed of at least 14 similar Middle (predominantly) to possibly lowest Upper Ordovician species from Laurentia (13 species) and Baltica (one species). Possible Lower Ordovician specimens have been illustrated by Ross (1951). Dimeropyge clintonensis Shaw, 1968, is redescribed, based upon additional material of mature topotypes. A new species of Dimeropyge, D. speyeri, is proposed for material from the Esbataottine Formation in the Mackenzie Mountains, northwestern Canada, previously described as D. clintonensis. A phylogenetic analysis of 10 of the 14 species of this genus is presented (the other species are less completely known, and are related to the analyzed species in a more traditional manner). Ontogenies from protaspid to holaspid stages are provided for D. clintonensis, D. speyeri, and D. virginiensis Whittington and Evitt, 1954. The larval stages of these species are very similar, supporting the close relationship between species assigned to Dimeropyge.

A New Species

A new species, Scrophularia jinii (Scrophulariaceae), from Central China is described and illustrated. This new species was formerly misidentified as S. fargesii, from which it differs in many morphological characters. Moreover, it is distinct with all known Scrophularia species in its unique deeply double serrate leaf margin with 3–7 big teeth on each side. Molecular phylogenetic analysis further supports its species delimitation and suggests a close relationship with several Japanese and North American species.

A New Species

Silicified material from the Early Caradoc part of the Las Aguaditas Formation in San Juan Province, Argentina, includes a nearly complete growth series for a new species of the tropidocoryphid Stenoblepharum Owens, 1973. Cladistic analysis of Stenoblepharum species indicates that S. astinii new species is most closely allied to the Early Caradoc S. strasburgense (Cooper, 1953) from Virginia. Chinese species of Stenoblepharum are sister group to a Baltic/Laurentian clade. A single adult-like protaspid stage occurs in the life cycle of S. astinii, closely resembling the protaspis of Decoroproetus. It is preceded by a non-adult-like first protaspid instar that appears to be characteristic of Proetoidea in general but contrasts markedly with the early larval stages of other taxa in Proetida.

In this study, Aphanomyces brasiliensis is proposed as a new species. It was collected from soil and water samples of a trout farming system located in Atlantic Rainforest areas, São Paulo State, Brazil. This species is mainly characterized by the presence of commonly short and unbranched oogonial stalks, antheridia usually androgynous and monoclinous with clavate, bell-shaped or cylindrical antheridial cells. We also collected Aphanomyces helicoides, A. raphani and A. stellatus from samples of submerged leaves, surface sediment and water in freshwater bodies. All species were isolated growing on cellulosic and/or keratinous substrates used as bait. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS (rDNA) region showed that the new species and the other Brazilian isolates clustered within the Aphanomyces clade.

Six species of the genus Rhabdosciadium (Apiaceae) were studied by molecular phylogenetic analysis. The taxonomic status of each of them has been confirmed, the genus Rhabdosciadium turns out as a well-supported monophyletic group closely related to the genera Aegopodium, Caropodium, Carum, Falcaria, Fuernrohria, Gongylosciadium, Grammosciadium s.s., Hladnikia, Olymposciadium, etc. Rhabdosciadium anatolyi sp. nov. is described and illustrated as a new species from Hakkâri province, eastern Turkey. It differs from the other taxa of the genus, in addition to its unique geographical range, in the large terminal leaf lobes with regularly serrated margin, mainly ternate primary basal segments of leaves, and long internodes.

Holothurians of the family Psychropotidae are widely distributed, but remain least studied deep-sea holothurians. On an expedition in the Western Pacific, six psychropotid specimens were collected by the Jiaolong human operated vehicle (HOV). Through morphological examination, four of them were identified as a new species, Benthodytes jiaolongi sp. nov., which was characterized as having minute papillae, narrow brims, and terminal anus; the ossicles were either rods or primary crosses. The remaining two specimens were identified as Psychropotes verrucicaudatus Xiao, Gong, Kou & Li, 2019, which was first recorded at the Kyushu-Palau Ridge. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed the classification status of B. jiaolongi and P. verrucicaudatus, and indicated a paraphyletic relationship within the genus Benthodytes. The new species clustered with Benthodytes sanguinolenta and was separated from the clade containing the other Benthodytes species.

Tetrataenium mianguaqi, a traditionally used medicinal herb in Cangyuan County, SW Yunnan, China, is described as a species new to science and illustrated. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear ITS well supports its belonging to Tetrataenium sensu stricto. The new species can be easily distinguished by its unique peltate, palmatilobate basal and lower leaves from the other five Chinese Tetrataenium species.

A New Species

Chasmosaurus irvinensis (sp. nov.) is distinguished from other species of this genus by the possession of a broad snout, absence of a brow horn (the position of which is occupied by a pit or rugosities suggestive of bone resorption), broadly rounded and open jugal notch, subrectangular squamosal, straight posterior parietal bar bearing 10 epoccipitals, eight of which are flattened, strongly curved anterodorsally, and nearly indistinguishably coossified to their neighbours, and small, transversely oriented parietal fenestrae restricted to the posterior portion of the frill. This species, restricted to the upper part of the Dinosaur Park Formation, is significantly younger than the other recognized Canadian Chasmosaurus species, C. belli and C. russelli. Phylogenetic analysis shows that C. irvinensis is most closely related to the other Canadian Chasmosaurus species and more distantly related to Chasmosaurus mariscalensis from Texas.

A new species of Corynesporopsis from rotting wood of Acacia confusa differs from similar species with one-septate conidia by comparatively short conidiophores and conidia and deeper brown pigmentation of conidiogenous cells than of more proximal cells of the conidiophore. Morphology in culture differs from that in situ mainly by hyaline vegetative hyphae and branched conidiophores. A phylogenetic analysis including a species of Corynesporopsis indicates a close relationship to Xylariales and the occurrence of tretic conidiogenesis in this order. Corynesporopsis quercicola is a new record for Taiwan.

A growth series is described for a new species of Ceratocara Ramsköld, 1991, C. argentina, from the Upper Ordovician (Caradoc) part of the Las Aguaditas Formation, near Jáchal in San Juan Province, Argentine Precordillera. Another new species of Ceratocara, C. shawi, is described from the Middle Ordovician (lower Chazy) Crown Point Formation of New York. A phylogenetic analysis is presented for these species, other well-known Ordovician species of Ceratocara, and some Ordovician species of Ceratocephala, with Ceratocephalina tridens Whittington, 1956, as outgroup. The analysis presented supports the monophyly of both Ceratocara and Ceratocephala Warder, 1838, their divergence having occurred by the middle Arenig. The ontogenies of the Ceratocara species from Argentina and New York, complete from protaspid to holaspid growth stages, are some of the best preserved odontopleurid ontogenies described to date. Material of Ceratocephala triacantheis Whittington and Evitt, 1954, from the Crown Point Formation of the Chazy Group of New York, is discriminated from that of Ceratocara shawi.

A New Species

Physeterostemon thomasii is described from the southern Bahian Atlantic forest of Brazil. It differs from the other two species of the genus by the paleaceous trichomes on young stems and petioles, and by the strongly bullate/foveolate leaves. A phylogenetic analysis with all three species, based on rbcL and ndhF DNA sequence data, showed that Physeterostemon forms a monophyletic group, sister to Eriocnema fulva, and this clade is placed in a polytomy at the base of the tribe Miconieae sensu stricto. However, there is no resolution within Physeterostemon, thus the phylogenetic relationships of the three species cannot be established.
