Current Information

The type species of the genus Broomea Cookson and Eisenack possesses an intercalary archeopyle formed by loss of a single intercalary paraplate. Species with demonstrable apical archeopyles, formerly assigned to Broomea, are excluded by redefinition of that genus and placed in Batioladinium gen. nov. The taxonomic position of five other species previously assigned to Broomea cannot be resolved on the basis of current information. Transferred to the new genus are Batioladinium jaegeri (Alberti) comb, nov., designated herein as the type species; B. longicornutum (Alberti) comb. nov.; B. micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson) comb. nov.; and provisionally, B.? exiguum (Alberti) comb. nov. and B.? pelliferum (Alberti) comb. nov.

Phenotypic Characters

Some Antarctic littorinoideans have a remarkable convergence with Naticoidea in shell and operculum features. Two naticid-like species of that group are studied in their phenotypic features in order to improve their taxonomy and to discuss the meaning of that convergence, as the former are herbivore-detritivore and the latter active predatory organisms. One of the studied species is the littorinidLaevilacunaria antarctica(Martens, 1885). The other belongs to a new genus –Pseudonatica, with the type species also newly described:P. antarctica, the genus is tentatively placed in Zerotulidae. Another Pseudonatica is also described,P. ampullarica, based only on shells collected by Marion-Dufresne French expedition off Brazilian coast, this finding expands the occurrence of zerotulids northwards. Besides the similarities of shell and operculum, other structures of these Antarctic species also show singular similarities with naticoideans, such as the wide foot, the complexity of opercular attachment in pedal opercular pad, the wide oesophageal gland, and the coiled arrangement of the pallial oviduct. The phenotypic characters were coded and inserted in a previous large phylogenetic analysis on Caenogastropoda (Simone, 2011), furnishing a wide basis for discussion on the characters, taxonomic position, evolution and adaptations of these organisms.

The type specimens of Pontonides sympathes De Ridder & Holthuis, 1979, Veleronia serratifrons Holthuis, 1951, and V. laevifrons Holthuis, 1951 were re-examined. Pontonides sympathes is transferred to Veleronia Holthuis, 1951, based on morphological similarity with V. serratifrons, the type species of the genus. At the same time, a new genus, Pseudoveleronia gen. nov., is erected for Veleronia laevifrons. Detailed re-descriptions of all studied species as well as a key to the genera Pontonides Borradaile, 1917, Veleronia and Pseudoveleronia gen. nov. are given.

Distinguishing Character

Taphioporus gen. n. with the type species T. balticus sp. n. and the new species, Colaspoides eocenicus sp. n., from Baltic amber are described. The distinctness of the new genus makes the former definitions of the tribes Euryopini Lefèvre, 1885 and Typophorini Baly, 1865 problematic because the presence or absence of the preapical emargination on the meso- and metatibiae is the only distinguishing character.

The systematic status of Gelechia acanthopis Meyrick, 1932 is reviewed. The general and functional morphology of the male genitalia merits a new genus in Pexicopiini, Sitotrogoides gen. nov., for G. acanthopis. The musculoskeletal apparatus of the male genitalia in Sitotrogoides is described for the first time and compared with allied genera. The taxonomic position of the genus Sitotrogoides is determined within the tribe Pexicopiini. The lack of the muscle m3 is suggested as a characteristic associating Sitotrogoides with Sitotroga and differing from all other genera in Pexicopiini. The type species of Sitotrogoides, Gelechia acanthopis Meyrick is redescribed. Our new records of Sitotrogoides acanthopis from Korea suggest its extended distribution out of Japan.

During the course of a phylogenetic evaluation of Saccharothrix strains held in the ARS Culture Collection, it was discovered that Saccharothrix coeruleoviolacea NRRL B-24058T is unrelated to other species within this genus, and a polyphasic study was undertaken to clarify its taxonomic position. Strain NRRL B-24058T is observed to be phylogenetically separate from the genus Saccharothrix and is most closely related to the genus Actinoalloteichus. The strain exhibits chemotaxonomic properties that distinguish it from members of Actinoalloteichus, including a whole-cell sugar pattern consisting of galactose and ribose as diagnostic sugars, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine containing 2-OH fatty acids and diphosphatidylglycerol as the predominant polar lipids and MK-9(H4) and MK-10(H4) as the only menaquinones observed. Strain NRRL B-24058T is distinct from other taxa within the suborder Pseudonocardineae and a new genus to be named Goodfellowia gen. nov. is proposed. The type species of this new genus is Goodfellowia coeruleoviolacea gen. nov., comb. nov., and the type strain is NRRL B-24058T (=DSM 43935T=INA 3564T=JCM 9110T=NBRC 14988T=VKM Ac-1083T).

SynopsisIt is confirmed that the type species of the genus Glyptoscorpius Peach 1882 is a subjective synonym of Adelophthalmus Jordan and Meyer 1854. Species which have been referred to Glyptoscorpius are reviewed and their present taxonomic position defined. Cyrtoctenus gen. nov., type species Cyrtoctenus peachi sp. nov., is designated to accommodate forms bearing five pairs of specialised abdominal appendages of which the first is comb-like. Four species of Cyrtoctenus from Devonian and Carboniferous rocks in Scotland, England, Belgium and Czechoslovakia are recognized. The structure and affinities of these forms are discussed with special reference to the comb-like appendages and their ornamentation in relation to these features in other arthropods. In particular the development of filaments and fulcra from different types of scales is discussed. The characters of the new genus are found to be so distinctive as to require the creation of the new order Cyrtoctenida for its accommodation.
