Allosaurus is one of the best known theropod dinosaurs from the Jurassic and a crucial taxon in phylogenetic analyses. On the basis of an in-depth, firsthand study of the bulk of Allosaurus specimens housed in North American institutions, we describe here a new theropod dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Western North America, Allosaurus jimmadseni sp. nov., based upon a remarkably complete articulated skeleton and skull and a second specimen with an articulated skull and associated skeleton. The present study also assigns several other specimens to this new species, Allosaurus jimmadseni, which is characterized by a number of autapomorphies present on the dermal skull roof and additional characters present in the postcrania. In particular, whereas the ventral margin of the jugal of Allosaurus fragilis has pronounced sigmoidal convexity, the ventral margin is virtually straight in Allosaurus jimmadseni. The paired nasals of Allosaurus jimmadseni possess bilateral, blade-like crests along the lateral margin, forming a pronounced nasolacrimal crest that is absent in Allosaurus fragilis.

AbstractHybomitra enigmatica n. sp., previously confused with Hybomitra sonomensis (O.S.), is described in larval, pupal, and adult stages and compared with the latter species and with H. phaenops (O.S.). Hybomitra philipi Stone is synonymized with H. sonomensis. The distribution of these species in western North America is given.

A new species of marine triclad turbellarian, Sabussowia wilhelmii sp. nov., is described from the Pisquid River, Prince Edward Island, Canada. This represents the first occurrence of the genus and of the subfamily Cercyrinae of the Procerodidae in North America. The genus is discussed and a key to the known species is provided. A detailed discussion of the status of Vortex warreni of Girard and Procerodes warreni of Wilhelmi is given. The identity of the former cannot be ascertained. The latter could be a Sabussowia species, but, in the absence of fully mature material, this question cannot be resolved. Both names are regarded as nomina dubia, and the suppression of the genus Fovia of Girard is recommended.

A new species of parasitic copepod occurring in western North America is described, Ergasilus nerkae n. sp. An emendation of E. turgidus Fraser, 1920 and a redescription of E. auritus Markevich, 1940 are presented. A total of four species resembling E. caeruleus (E. turgidus, E. confusus Bere, 1931, E. auritus, and E. nerkae) have so far been described, and characters to distinguish the species of this group are given.

AbstractThe status of Anarta cordigera (Thunberg, 1788), formerly treated as a circumboreal holarctic species, is reassessed in the light of characters of the male vesica and female bursa copulatrix. Populations are arranged in four species: A. cordigera in Europe; A. carbonaria Christoph, 1893 in Siberia and the Far East; A. luteola Grote and Robinson, 1865 in North America; and A. macrostigma Lafontaine and Mikkola, new species, in western North America. Adults and genitalia are illustrated for the four species.

AbstractDescribed are adults of Atylotus insuetus (Osten Sacken), A. calcar n. sp., A. utahensis (Rowe and Knowlton) and A. tingaureus (Philip) and immature stages of the first two species. The distribution of the four species in western North America is plotted and a key is provided for their separation.
