Mutovia intercalaria gen. et sp. n. is described from the Upper Permian sediments of Isady in north-western Russia and placed withina new Palaeozoic cockroach family, Mutoviidae fam. n.. The forewing, with very basal, distinct separation of R1 and RS resemblingthe cockroach hind wing and also the forewing of mantises and eoblattids, and with a sharply convex clavus, is unique. The generalvein scheme is closely analogous to Cretaceous mantises (Baissomantis Gratshev et Zherikhin, 1994), but the two taxa are not directlyrelated. The new species comprises about 3% of all fossil insects and 10% of fossil cockroaches at the site, and thus is one of the dom-inant species at the site. Reorganization of the main veins within the taxon suggests the group was rapidly evolving, perhaps becauseof environmental stress. The high coefficient of variability for total number of veins meeting margin (14.5%) is characteristic fornewly emerging (early Palaeozoic and early Mesozoic) lineages and is much higher than for the same characteristic in advanced Pale-ozoic taxa. In spite of an apparently aerodynamic shape of the wing, it likely was not a good flier, as indicated by the extreme variationof veins in the anterior margin and narrow and plastic hind wing remigium. A sex ratio approaching 2:1 suggests that males were moreactive in flight. The new family represents a direct evidence for appearance of new taxa before the Permotriassic boundary and disability of these taxa to cross that crisis.

Evolution Of Mammals

An endeavour is made to trace the evolution of mammals from Cotylosaurian ancestors through the carnivorous Therapsida. In Upper Carboniferous times the line probably passed through some primitive generalised Pelycosaurs; in Lower Permian through primitive, probably Therocephalian, Therapsids. In Middle and Upper Permian the line passed through the Gorgonopsia. In Triassic times the mammalian ancestors were small generalised Cynodonts. In Lower Jurassic the mammals are so Cynodont-like, and the Cynodonts so mammal-like, that in no single case are we absolutely certain which is which. In the Therocephalia, the Gorgonopsia, and the Cynodontia, the skull is very mammal-like. The zygomatic arch is, as in mammals, formed by the jugal and the squamosal. The teeth are divided into incisors, canines and molars. In the later Gorgonopsians there is an imperfect secondary palate; in Cynodonts a complete secondary palate as in mammals. In Permian Therapsids there is a single occipital condyle; in the Triassic Cynodonts there may he a single condyle slightly divided or two exoccipital condyles. There is, on passing from earlier to later types, a steady increase in the size of the dentary and decrease in the size of the other elements of the jaw. The quadrate also becomes much reduced in the higher types. In Gorgonopsians and probably all earlier types the arch of the atlas is a pair of bones; in Cynodonts, as in mammals, there is a single arch.

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.

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.
