New Genus And Species

Fossils from the lower part of the Shihtienfeng Formation, Upper Permian of north China, include the type specimen of a new genus and species of pareiasaur and less complete materials identified as Shansisaurus sp. and Pareiasauridae gen. et sp. indet.Based on the distribution of pareiasaurian fossils in the Upper Permian of north China, the upper part of the Shihtienfeng Formation can be correlated with the Daptocephalus Zone, the lower part with the Cistecephalus Zone, and the upper part of the Upper Shihezi Formation with the Tapinocephalus Zone of South Africa.

Acerosodontosaurus piveteaui, a new genus and species of primitive diapsid reptile of the Family Younginidae, is based upon a partial skull and partial skeleton from Upper Permian strata of the République Démocratique de Madagascar. Morphologically, Acerosodontosaurus is closer to Youngina than any other known early diapsid. It can be distinguished from Youngina by a higher maxillary tooth count, a broader skull in the antorbital region, a broader puboischiatic plate, and a longer iliac blade. The type specimen is more mature than known specimens of Youngina, and furnishes anatomical information not reported in other younginid specimens.

Dental Ontogeny

An exceptionally well-preserved silicified bivalve from the Upper Permian of Texas is described and assigned to a new genus and species,Cassiavellia galtarae, placed in the family Bakevelliidae. The species represents one of the earliest and best characterized unequivocal occurrences of the multivincular ligament in the superfamily Pterioidea. The silicified material provides a wealth of information on the morphology of inadequately known Paleozoic pterioideans, including hitherto undescribed aspects of the larval shell, auricular sulcus, muscle scars, and dental ontogeny. The discovery of the condyle-fossa complex on the anteroventral shell margin, a feature previously undescibed in Bivalvia, raises the question of the homology and taxonomic significance of the problematic subumbonal ridge-like structures in Pterioidea. In life,C. galtaraewas probably an epifaunal right-pleurothetic bivalve, byssally attached to hard or raised flexible substrata. In addition toC. galtarae, another new species,C. nadkevnae, is placed inCassiavellia.

Archinamaqua gen. n. lyleae sp. n. (Pimeliinae Latreille, 1802, Tentyriini Eschscholtz, 1831) is described from the sand dunes of Namaqualand in northwestern South Africa. It is related to the genera Broomium Koch, 1950 and Archinamibia Koch, 1952. All these taxa are wingless and highly adapted nocturnal sand dwellers in dry habitats of the same area in northwestern South Africa and southern Namibia.

AbstractThe Ao Mo Lae Formation of the Tarutao Group crops out on Thailand's Tarutao Island and contains a diverse assemblage of late Furongian trilobite taxa, including several endemic forms. This study presents a new genus and species, Satunarcus molaensis, discovered at two locations on the island. A cladistic analysis of the kaolishaniid subfamily Mansuyiinae in light of Satunarcus and similar genera known from across upper Cambrian equatorial Gondwanan rocks suggests that the subfamily is polyphyletic in its current definition, and thus is not a natural group. Separating Mansuyia Sun, 1924 from the other taxa conventionally placed in Mansuyiinae permits recognition of a previously unrecognized monophyletic subfamily Ceronocarinae new subfamily. As established herein, this kaolishaniid subfamily contains Satunarcus n. gen. and all genera previously recognized as Mansuyiinae. with the exception of Mansuyia itself. Ceronocarinae n. subfam. occur in middle Jiangshanian to middle Cambrian Stage 10 sedimentary rocks from Australia, South China, North China, and Sibumasu, with most genera endemic to Australia.UUID: http://zoobank.org/618c5136-73f0-4912-a7d3-e56559d2a76c
