The article is devoted to the study of new representatives of the genus Kerpia Naugolnykh from Novyi Kuvak located in Shentalinsky district (northeast of Samara region). The genus Kerpia for ginkgo similar leaves was set by S.V. Naugolnykh in 1995 on the material from the Kungurian stage of the Middle Urals. Typical species of this genus is Kerpia macroloba Naugolnykh. In the diagnosis of the genus S.V. Naugolnykh showed the most important signs of this genus: presence of lobes and sinuses of the 1st and 2nd order, distinct petiole and two veins included in lamina from the petiole. Later, in 2001, from the sediments of Kazanian stage of the Southern Urals S.V. Naugolnykh described a new species Kerpia belebeica Naugolnykh. In 2013 in Novyi Kuvak location we found impressions of ginkgo similar leaves with on the one hand a great similarity with the known members of the genus Kerpia ( Kerpia macroloba and Kerpia belebeica ), but on the other hand they are clearly not identical to this representative at the species level. According to the results of the study of these impressoins in 2014 we described a new species of the genus Kerpia - Kerpia samarica N.S. Bukhman et L.M. Bukhman, 2014. In this paper we give description of both known and new findings of species Kerpia samarica and a comparison of this species with other species of the genus Kerpia .

The late Mississippian ammonoid family Delepinoceratidae is comprised of the genera Platygoniatites and Delepinoceras, and is considered one of the more biostratigraphically significant families for lower Namurian correlation (Manger et al., 1985). Platygoniatites, the earliest member, is known from eastern and southern Europe (Ruzhencev and Bogoslovskaya, 1971; Wagner-Gentis, 1963, 1980) and North Africa (Lemosquet et al., 1985). Despite its wide distribution, Platygoniatites is generally a rare member (with the exception of the southern Ural Mountains) of latest Visean and earliest Namurian faunas. It has never been reported previously from North America, though thousands of ammonoids have been collected here from age equivalent beds. The discovery of a new species of the genus in the late Mississippian faunas of east-central Nevada provides new data for precise correlation of the ammonoid zonations of Gordon (1970) to the type Namurian and indicates a need for revision of the current correlations between the southern Urals and northwestern Europe.

The populations of the well-known forest pest, Dendrolimus sibiricus Chetverikov, 1908 stat.rev., were sampled in the European foothills of the Ural Mountains, Russia. D. sibiricus is a species distinct from the Japanese taxon D. superans (Butler, 1877). Another taxon from the Southern Urals, taxonomically close to D. pini (Linnaeus), is described here as D. kilmez sp.n. The synthetic female pheromones prepared for D. pini and D. sibiricus attracted equally well all three taxa present, and thus cannot be used to identify these species. The Ural populations of D. sibiricus show differences in external appearance, and as already in the 1840s Eversmann indicated that the species had caused local forest damage, D. sibiricus must be a long-established species in the Ural area. Thus, natural spreading westward of the pest is not to be expected. The five Dendrolimus species of the northern Palaearctic and the male genitalia are illustrated, and the distinguishing characters are listed. Two Matsumura lectotypes are designated.

Within the crustacean group Cyclida, Prolatcyclus gen. nov. includes two species, Prolatcyclus martinensis (Goldring, 1967) and P. kindzadza sp. nov., described from the Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian, upper Viséan) of England and the Southern Urals of Russia, respectively. Members of the genus have a unique feature for cyclids – large hypertrophied second axial lobes. The species P. kindzadza is 2.5 times larger than P. martinensis. Both species are exclusively inhabitants of reef environments.

A new species of Pedilia Clark, P. sirena, from Costa Rica is described and illustrated. This species is monophagous on Passiflora pittieri HBK, and known only from the Sirena area of Parque National Corcovado, Costa Rica, for which it is named. Previous scientific reports mentioning this species are discussed, specifically those treating its ecological interaction with Heliconius hewistoni Staudinger, (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). This species is also notable for the two distinctly textured areas of its mandibular mola.
