Low Diversity

A new anostracan genus with two new species in the family Branchipodidae is described from the Murray Darling basin, Australia. This is the first record of the family from Australia. Males of Australobranchipus typically have long and elaborate frontal appendages comparable to those in the branchipodid genera Branchipus and Pumilibranchipus. Females have a compact brood pouch like other branchipodid genera. Two new species in this genus are described (A. parooensis and A. gilgaiphila). Along with recent additions in Branchinella and Parartemia, and confirmation of the presence of Streptocephalus, these new findings change the concept of low diversity among higher anostracan taxa in Australia. Australobranchipus is also remarkable for having the shortest known life cycle of any Australian anostracans. In the type locality, which typically holds water for only two to six weeks in occasional years, and when cultured, it matures within a week and dies within two weeks, allowing these species to avoid competition with other anostracans.

Abstract The first known representatives of the family Cantharidae are described from Socotra: Silidius svihlai sp. nov. and Socotrasilis enigmatica gen. et sp. nov. Dorsal habitus, pronotum and aedeagus for each species are illustrated. Both species seem phylogenetically isolated, with no known close relatives.

Insight Into

AbstractTwo new species of a new genus, Postopsyllidium rebeccae and P. emilyae, are described, which are preserved in amber from northern Myanmar and central New Jersey, USA (100-90 myo), respectively. These are the first specimens of the hemipteran family Protopsyllidiidae found in amber and the latest occurrence of the family, some 50 my later than previous records; all others are compressions in rocks (many of them just wings) from the Late Permian to the Early Cretaceous. Postopsyllidium emilyae is also the first record of the group from the Western Hemisphere. A catalogue of Protopsyllidiidae is provided as well as an hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships among genera, though monophyly of the family is ambiguous. Postopsyllidium appears to be a recently derived genus, and four genera are removed from the family. Complete preservation in amber allows new insight into relationships, specifically that Postopsyllidium, and perhaps most or all Protopsyllidiidae, represent an extinct sister group to the Sternorrhyncha that retain features of some Auchenorrhyncha. Radiations of true Sternorrhyncha began in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, by which time the Protopsyllidiidae were apparently already relicts.

High Diversity

Elsholtzia Willdenow (1790: 3) is a genus of the family Lamiaceae and currently placed in tribe Elsholtzieae of subfamily Nepetoideae (Chen et al. 2016). As traditionally circumscribed, Elsholtzia contains about 40 species widely occurring in Africa, East Asia, Europe, and North America, with a particular high diversity in China (Li & Hedge 1994). There are 33 species, 15 varieties, and five forms recognized in Flora of China (Li & Hedge 1994), and two new species, E. lamprophylla Xiang & Liu (2012: 578) and E. litangensis C.X.Pu & W.Y.Chen in Pu et al. (2012: 174), were described in the recent decade. Most of Elsholtzia species were commonly used as traditional medicinal herbs or nectar source plants in China (Editorial Board of Zhong Hua Ben Cao 1999, Li & Hedge 1994). In the molecular phylogeny of Elsholtzia (Chen et al. 2016, Li et al. 2017), E. flava Bentham (1833: 161) and E. penduliflora Smith (1918: 176) have been revealed to be separated from the remainder of the genus, which were recently assigned to a new genus, Vuhuangia Solomon Raju, Molinari & Mayta in Mayta et al. (2016: 3).

Herein two new species of the genusSyngastesMonard, 1924 are described from South Korea, with detailed descriptions and illustrations. Both new copepods,Syngastesmulticavussp. nov. andS. pseudofoveatussp. nov., have two inner setae on the first exopodal segment of P2 and P3.Syngastesmulticavussp. nov. most closely resemblesS. gibbosusBartsch, 1999 reported from Australia, as they both have a five-segmented antennule in the female. However,Syngastesmulticavussp. nov. has a rounded body outline instead of the gibbose outline observed inS. gibbosus.Syngastespseudofoveatussp. nov. resemblesS. foveatusBartsch, 1994 in almost all aspects. However, they differ clearly in the number of setae on the first exopodal segment of P2 and P3. We also provide a key to species of the genusSyngastesworldwide. The present study is the first record of the family Tegastidae in Korean waters.

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.
