The Stability

A catalog of types of Neotropical Pierinae at the Department of Entomology, Natural History Museum, London, is presented. The collection contains type material of 324 taxa (296 represented by primary types). Each entry includes the species-group name, followed by the generic name, original combination quoted from the original publication, type locality, type specimens as specified with their labels, and notes about current taxonomic status. To increase the stability of nomenclature, and to fix the identity of several species-group names, lectotypes are designated for 116 taxa.

Eleven Species

Sixteen species of Uropodina were found in samples of soil mites from Vietnam, in the Institute of Soil Biology of the Biology Centre AS CR (Èesk Budìjovice, Czech Republic) and the Soil Zoology Collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary). Five of them are known species — Angulobaloghia vietnamensis (Kontschán, 2008), Metagynella vietnamensis Hiramatsu, 1981, Uroobovella similitakensis Hirschmann, 1981, Uroobovella topali Hirschmann, 1981, and Uropoda hirschmanni Hiramatsu, 1977. Eleven species are described as new — Trachytes vietnamensis sp. nov., Dinychus serratus sp. nov., Trichouropoda aspera sp. nov., Uroobovella oviformis sp. nov., Uroobovella multisetosa sp. nov., Paradinychus pilosus sp. nov., Phymatodiscus kuni sp. nov., Uropoda setata sp. nov., Uropoda lichenicola sp. nov., Angulobaloghia scrobia sp. nov. and Depressorotunda (Depressorotunda) alveolata sp. nov. The genus Paradinychus is resurrected and three species are moved into this genus, as P. sumatrensis (Vitzthum, 1921) comb. nov. and P. fistulata (Hiramatsu, 1982) comb. nov. Keys to the species of the genus Paradinychus, to the Asian species of Trachytes and to the Uropoda spiculata species group are given.

Annotated Checklist

A catalogue of type specimens deposited at the herbarium of Chongqing Natural History Museum (CQNM) is carried out. A total of 62 specimens belonging to 56 gatherings concerning 37 valid published names in 23 families of Chinese seed plants are documented as original materials. They include seven isotypes, 21 syntypes, of which 16 of them are isolectotypes and 34 paratypes. A checklist of the 37 names is presented with annotations on the typification, authorship citation, type localities and other taxonomic issues. Eight names were lectotypified, and one name’s second-step lectotype is proposed. Additionally, Distylium lanceolatum Chun, which is invalid pending for further study, and which has long been treated as a synonym of D. dunnianum H.Lév., is listed after the 37 names.

The aphid genus Allotrichosiphum is reviewed here. Allotrichosiphum cyclobalanopsidis sp. nov. from Cyclobalanopsis neglecta in Hong Kong, China is described. Keys to the species of Allotrichosiphum worldwide are provided. The type specimens studied are deposited in the Natural History Museum, London, U.K.

With discovery and examination of type specimens in the Natural History Museum, London, UK, we reassign Stephanoscyph-istoma simplex (Kirkpatrick, 1890) to the genus Nausithoe Kölliker, 1853, as Nausithoe simplex, comb. nov., and designate alectotype for the species. Use of morphometric measurements is considered important in coronate systematics, but key featuresalso include the unique whorl of internal cusps and the shape of these cusps. All previous records of N. simplex must be re-evaluated, taking into consideration the morphology of these internal cusps.

It had hitherto been assumed in publications on serpulimorph systematics that spirorbids are characterized by an operculum borne on a wingless peduncle. However, while examining various spirorbid collections in the Natural History Museum, London, it was found that the type specimens of Helicosiphon platyspira Knight-Jones, 1978 possess a winged opercular peduncle, a character that had hitherto been used to distinguish between other serpulimorph genera. Accordingly, Helicosiphon platyspira is transferred to a new genus, Knightjonesia, in which the opercular peduncle is winged, in contrast with Helicosiphon in which it is wingless.

For the first time both Light- and Scanning Electron Microscopy are aplied to re-assess diagnostic characters of type specimens for selected Stemonitales kept in the collections of the Natural History Museum London (BM). The results are used to revise published data and the type status is discussed for specimens of Amaurochaete comata G. Lister & Brândză, Comatricha longipila Nann.-Bremek., Comatricha lurida Lister, Comatricha pulchella (C. Bab.) Rostaf., Comatricha suksdorfii Ellis & Everh., Paradiacheopsis rigida (Brândză) Nann.-Bremek., Stemonaria irregularis (Rex) Nann.-Bremek., R. Sharma & Y. Yamam. and Stemonitopsis microspora (Lister) Nann.-Bremek at BM. A lectotype is proposed for Paradiacheopsis rigida (Brândză) Nann.-Bremek.

Type Section

The following descriptions of Shropshire trilobites, mostly collected from urchison’s (1839) type section of the Caradoc Series, are from Bancroft manu-sripts which will ultimately be deposited in the British Museum (Natural History), here the Bancroft Collection of fossils is housed. As far as possible the original xt has been preserved, apart from material necessary to bring it up to date and tsertion of references to various publications. Since in Bancroft’s paper on ryptolithinae (1929) the illustrations were reproduced from drawings, it has been bought well, as suggested by Richter (1930, pp. 556 - 557), to refigure some of the species from photographs. A few of Bancroft’s unpublished trilobites have been ealt with by Reed (1932) and Shirley (1936). In these cases only a minimum of reference is now given, but Bancroft’s illustrations have been retained. A recent paper by Harper (1947) describes some related species from the Lower Longvillian if Caernarvonshire. It may be added that Dr C. J. Stubblefield has given help with the text of the present publication. He, Mr R. Baker and Mr W. H. C. Ramsbottom searched for the type specimens in the Natural History Museum. Thanks to their co-operation, most of the figured examples have now been identified with the photographs.
