The systematic position of Microptysmatidae and Protomeropidae is critically reviewed in light of the latest reassessment by Minet et al. The Microptysmatidae belongs to a stem-group of Trichoptera, or at least to stem-Amphiesmenoptera (depending on chosen methodology), rather than to its own order Permotrichoptera as suggested by Minet et al., and Protomeropidae are not Mecoptera. The double anal loop of Kamopanorpa Martynov, 1928 is not significantly different from that of more advanced amphiesmenopterans, while in Microptysmella Kukalová-Peck & Willmann, 1990, anal veins show clear tendency to looping (not a “fairly different arrangement”). If Microptysmatidae are considered in the traditional way, the polarity of characters listed by Minet et al. as supporting monophyly of the order Permotrichoptera can be treated just the opposite: divided veins RS1, RS2 and M1 are symplesiomorphies with Protomeropidae, and simple M4 is the synapomorphy of Microptysmatidae, Cladochoristidae, and Amphiesmenoptera s. str. In addition, three new species of Kamopanorpa are described from the Permian deposits of Minusinsk Coal Basin, South Siberia: Kamopanorpa rasnitsyni sp. nov., K. sivchikovi sp. nov., and K. rotunda sp. nov. Some traits of fore- and hindwing venation of Microptysmatidae are discussed.

Abstract The systematic position of the enigmatic genus Squamanita (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is largely unknown. Together with Cystoderma and Phaeolepiota, they were categorized as belonging in the tribe Cystodermateae. In this study, with newly generated sequences of the type species of the genus Squamanita, namely S. schreieri, and sequences of a few species of Cystodermateae, the phylogeny of this “tribe” is reinvestigated with a concatenated (28S-5.8S-18S) dataset. Our study reveals that Squamanita and Phaeolepiota-Cystoderma are indeed sister groups with moderate statistic support (MLBS/PP = 80/1), and Squamanita is a monophyletic clade with highly statistic support (MLBS/PP = 92/1). The family name Squamanitaceae is resurrected and emended to accommodate the three genera. Meanwhile, another concatenated (ITS-28S-18S) dataset is used to investigate the phylogenetic relationship and species delimitation in Squamanita. Our data indicated that “S. umbonata” from North America, Europe, East Asia, and Central America harbors a complex of species, and species of Squamanita can parasitize species of Amanita, besides other fungal species. Squamanita mira parasitizes A. kitamagotake (A. sect. Caesareae), while S. orientalis and S. sororcula are parasites of species belonging to the A. sepiacea complex (A. sect. Validae). “Squamanita umbonata” from Italy occurs on A. excelsa (A. sect. Validae). Three new species of Squamanita from East Asia, viz. S. mira, S. orientalis and S. sororcula are documented with morphological, multi-genes phylogenetic, ecological data, line drawings, and photographs and compared with similar species.

Generalized Type

The systematic position of the blood-sucking Gamasides Leach, 1815, is still very unsatisfactory. In his work on external parasites, Ewing (1929) recognizes the two families Parasitidae and Dermanyssidae, distinguishing them chiefly by the form of the chelicerae. The former family to which Laelaps and related genera belong is defined by Ewing as follows: ‘chelicerae of a generalized type having the tips incurved and being provided with teeth, and the fixed arm usually bearing a seta near its tip’. The Dermanyssidae have modified chelicerae, ‘usually without teeth and fixed arm always without setae’. In this family Ewing puts the genera Liponyssus, Dermanyssus and related ones.

Five species of Amarrendia gen. nov. (Amanitaceae) are presented, three new species A. oleosa, A.�nemoribus and A. peridiocrystalia and two new combinations A. grandispora and A. lignicolor formerly placed in Alpova. It is proposed that Amarrendia occupies a systematic position within a complex of related taxa that also incorporates Torrendia and Amanita. Basidiomes of Amarrendia resemble those of the genus Torrendia, except for the absence of a stipe. Characteristics of Amarrendia that closely resemble those of Torrendia include (i) white or cream peridium and the similarly coloured, loculate gleba which may be empty or filled with a rapidly drying clear liquid, (ii) fragile consistency of the basidiome flesh in some species, (iii) glistening, minutely granular surface of the basidiomes (because of inflated cells exposed at the surface), (iv) broad ellipsoid, smooth, thin-walled, hyaline, non-amyloid, non-dextrinoid spores with a large oil droplet and a broad tapering apiculus and (v) context trama composed of inflated and hyphal elements intermixed. Amarrendia is currently known only in temperate Australia where it occurs in natural ecosystems and plantations in association with ectomycorrhizal plants such as Eucalyptus, Allocasuarina and Gastrolobium.

The last reviewer of the family Sphaeronectidae (Siphonophora, Calycophorae) (Carré, 1968c) considered that it consisted of a single genus, Sphaeronectes, containing five species; three of which had been recently described by himself. For the other two species there had been much nomenclatural confusion in the past, as is herein reviewed. It is considered that for one of these species the name Sphaeronectes koellikeri Huxley (1859) has priority over the name currently in usage, that is S. gracilis (Claus, 1873; 1874). In addition the status of S. brevitruncata (Chun, 1888) is reconsidered and the species considered valid, with S. japonica (Stepanjants, 1967) being considered as a likely junior synonym of it. Three new Sphaeronectes species, S. christiansonae sp. nov., S. haddocki sp. nov. and S. tiburonae sp. nov., are described, and the systematic position of the genus reconsidered in the light of preliminary molecular phylogenetic data.

Abstract. Baritella, a new genus of Ostracoda, is described from the Devonian rocks of Timan–Pechora province, Russia. This genus belongs to the superorder Podocopamorphes Kozur, 1972, but its systematic position is not clear. Three new species belong in Baritella: B. tkatchevae, B. dmitrievae and B. pavlovskajae. All these species were found in shallow-water deposits of the open sea.

Lines Of Evidence

In recent years, no less than five new species of stem-group turtles have been described worldwide. Among them are three new turtles from Middle Jurassic deposits that partially fill a previous temporal and morphological gap in our knowledge of the early evolution of these shelled amniotes: Heckerochelys romani, Condorchelys antiqua and Eileanchelys waldmani. For the first time, the phylogenetic position of these three new species is tested in the context of the two presently competing cladistic models of turtle evolution. The addition of these taxa to each matrix does not favour or alter any of the two opposed hypotheses. However, it is demonstrated here that, by documenting yet unknown stages in the evolution of several morphological structures, these three species give stronger support to the model of an extended phylogenetic stem for turtles. These new lines of evidence include the structure of the vomer, the position of the aditus canalis stapedio-temporalis and of the posterior opening of the canalis cavernosus, and the morphology of the processus interfenestralis of the opisthotic. These characters should be considered for future phylogenetic analyses of turtle interrelationships.Recent discoveries also reinvigorate the debate about the palaeoecology of early turtles. Whereas simple morphological characters (e.g., shell fontanelle, ligamentous bridge, flattened carapace) can be misleading, forelimb proportions and shell bone histology have led to the conclusion that most stem turtles (i.e., Proganochelys quenstedti, Palaeochersis talampayensis, Proterochersis robusta, Kayentachelys aprix and meiolaniids) were terrestrial forms. On the contrary, it is generally accepted that crown-group turtles are ancestrally aquatic. Among the five recently described stem-group turtles, Odontochelys semitestacea and Eileanchelys waldmani have been convincingly interpreted as having aquatic habits, which suggests that basal turtles were ecologically diverse. More investigation is needed, but this will undoubtedly trigger further debate on the primitive ecology of turtles and on the origin of aquatic habits in Testudines (i.e., the crown-group), respectively.

The new genus Nefis gen. nov. is described within the tribe Lixini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and its systematic position is discussed. The new genus is recognized by short rectangular rostrum, trapezoidal female tergite VIII with truncate apex and long setaceous posterolateral margins, visible 2-segmented labial palpi and protruding sinuate dorsal apex of protibiae. Nefis gen. nov. is close to Larinus Dejean, 1821, Rhinocyllus Germar, 1817, and Bangasternus Gozis, 1882. Three new species are described from Turkey and Afghanistan: Nefis attilai sp. nov., Nefis kabakovi sp. nov. and Nefis korotyaevi sp. nov. Lectotypes are designated for Larinus brevirostris Hochhuth, 1851, Larinus capiomonti Faust, 1885, Larinus reitteri Faust, 1889, Larinus liliputanus Faust, 1890, Larinus exclusus Faust, 1891, Larinus ochroleucus Capiomont v. pachyrrhinus Petri, 1907, and Larinus ochroleucus ssp. carthami Hoffmann, 1957. New synonyms and new combinations are proposed for Nefis brevirostris Hochhuth, 1851 comb. nov. [= Larinus reitteri Faust, 1889 syn. nov.], Nefis liliputanus Faust, 1890 comb. nov. [= Larinus exclusus Faust, 1891 syn. nov.], Nefis pachyrrhinus Petri, 1907 stat. rev. & comb. nov. [= Larinus badghysensis Ter-Minasian, 1982 syn. nov. = Larinus turcmenus Khnzorian, 1990 syn. nov.], Nefis ochroleucus Capiomont, 1874 comb. nov., Nefis capiomonti Faust 1885 comb. nov. Nefis afghanicus Ter-Minasian, 1987 comb. nov., Larinus inflatirostris Petri, 1907 is a nomen nudum. Larinus brevirostris Hochhuth is selected as the type species of the new genus. In total, nine species are included in Nefis. All species are described or redescribed, illustrated, and a key is provided. Host plant data and brief ecological observations are presented.

The genus Toxoplasma has not yet any definite systematic position. By some, the organisms which hear this name are regarded as being allied to the Leishmania, and by others to the yeasts. This uncertainty must exist so long as we do not know the complete life-history of these organisms; but, since any addition of new facts concerning them may help towards the acquisition of this knowledge, it has been thought worth while to record the finding of three new varieties, and to describe them. The organisms were first seen by Splendore (1), and were described by him in July, 1908. He found them in the blood of a rabbit in Brazil, and the name Toxoplasma was given to them by Nicolle and Manceaux (2), who found them in a gondi in Tunis, shortly after Splendore’s discovery, and described them in October, 1908. Since then, others have been found in the dog by Mello in Italy and by Yakimoff in Germany, in the mole by Prowazek in Japan, and in the pigeon by Carini in Brazil.

Three new species of Isoplenodia Prout, 1932 are described and illustrated from continental Africa, expanding the taxonomic scope and known geographic distribution of this previously endemic, monotypic Madagascan genus of geometrid moths. The new species are: I. vidalensis Sihvonen & Staude sp. n., from eastern South Africa; I. kisubiensis Sihvonen & Staude sp. n., from southern Uganda; and I. arabukoensis Sihvonen & Staude sp. n., from southeastern Kenya, central Zimbabwe and southwestern Rwanda. The paucity of available data suggest that the African species may be associated with wet forest or marsh mosaic habitats. Adults and genitalia of all known Isoplenodia species are illustrated, and the systematic position of the genus in relation to other genera in the tribe Scopulini is discussed.
