Azygokeras columbiae n.gen., n.sp. can be distinguished from other genera of Aetideidae by the asymmetrical first antennae of the male, the setation of the first two segments of the second antennal exopod of the female, and by the spinulation on basipods and rami of the swimming legs of both sexes. The animal was found only in deep hauls from Bute Inlet and is probably an epibenthic form.

New Genus And Species

Chonecetus sookensis, new genus and species, is based on an incomplete skull and parts of four vertebrae. It has a relatively elongate, tapering brain case, and a semicircular, depressed supraoccipital shield. It appears to be intermediate between archaeocetes and primitive odontocetes, but is tentatively placed in the Archaeoceti without reference to family.

New Genus And Species

A small, nearly complete ichthyosaur skeleton is described from the Upper Triassic of Williston Lake, in northeastern British Columbia. The age of the material, based on conodonts, is early Norian. Although the length of the entire skeleton would probably not have exceeded 1 m, there is no evidence of immaturity–quite the contrary. Named Hudsonelpidia brevirostris, the new taxon shares some features with Triassic taxa, as exemplified by Mixosaurus from the European Middle Triassic, and with post-Triassic ichthyosaurs like Ichthyosaurus, from the English Lower Jurassic. Mixosaurian characters include an elongate tibia with emarginated pre- and postaxial margins, and phalanges in the hindfin with pre- and postaxial notches. Like Ichthyosaurus, the humérus is elongate rather than broad, so too is the pubis and ischium. Mixosaurus is unusual among Triassic ichthyosaurs for having a relatively large orbit, but the orbit is even more prominent in Hudsonelpidia, probably because of the shortness of the snout. Hudsonelpidia has an unusually large femur that approaches the length of the humérus, dwarfing the rest of the hindfin. The rostrum is unique in being perforated by foramina, but this could possibly be an abnormality.

An aphid collected on Philadelphus gordonianus Lindl. at Agassiz, British Columbia, by R. Glendenning was sent to the writer for identification. The specimens could not be determined and extensive examination indicated that a new genus and species of aphid were involved.

A single specimen of decapod crustacean, preserved in ventral view and compressed, represents a new genus and species of eryonid lobster, Wrangelleryon perates. The discovery in Lower Jurassic (Hettangian) sediments of the Sandilands Formation in British Columbia represents the first occurrence of Eryonidae in North America and reinforces a global distribution of the family in the Jurassic. The occurrence in British Columbia on the Wrangellia terrane supports the lower latitude setting in which the species lived.

AbstractStem-group Phasmatodea, known as the Susumanioidea, are previously established from the Jurassic through the Paleocene. Here, we extend this record to the early Eocene with five new fossils: two forewings from the Klondike Mountain Formation exposures at Republic, Washington, United States of America, and three partially complete specimens from the McAbee locality in southern British Columbia, Canada. We assign both of the Republic specimens to the new genus and species Eoprephasma hichensinew genus, new species. Two of the McAbee fossils appear to represent two further new species, which we refer to as Susumanioidea species A and B for lack of clearly preserved diagnostic species-level character states. The third might belong to one of these two species, but this is unclear. In all three, the mesothorax and metathorax are not notably extended, the forewings are not shortened, the foreleg femur is straight, and species A possesses an extended, external ovipositor with an operculum (unknown in the other specimens). These conditions are rare and never found in combination in Euphasmatodea. All other stem-group Phasmatodea younger than the Early Cretaceous of China are only known from isolated wings.

Sikannisuchus huskyi, a new genus and species of archosaur, is described from the Upper Triassic (Norian) Pardonet Formation of northeastern British Columbia. It has a broad, flat skull, and may have reached 4 m in length. It is referred to the Archosauria on the basis of a lateral mandibular fenestra, laterally compressed serrated teeth, elongate transverse processes, neural spine table, osteoderms, and thecodont dentition. It is autapomorphic in that the postfrontal enters the border of both the orbit and the supratemporal fenestra, and it has a large prefrontal that contacts both the nasal and the postfrontal, excluding the frontal from the margin of the orbit. The presence of osteoderms and a well-developed clavicle exclude Sikannisuchus from the Ornithodira; however, in the absence of any preserved limb material, we cannot assign it to the Crurotarsi. Sikannisuchus is not currently referable to any known taxon of archosaur and is left as Archosauria incertae sedis.

AbstractMicroberotha macculloughigen. nov. and sp. nov. from Early Eocene Okanagan Highlands amber of Hat Creek, British Columbia, Canada, is described. This new genus and species represents one of the smallest members of the family Berothidae and the first occurrence of the family in the New World Tertiary. The systematic position of the genus Microberotha within the family is rather unclear, but the structure of the male genitalia indicates a close association with the subfamily Cyrenoberothinae. Stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of the Hat Creek locality are briefly discussed.
