A New Species

With the discovery of new taxa and developments in biogeography and molecular phylogenetics, it has become clear that the diversity of Micropterigidae in the SW Pacific region is inadequately represented by the current taxonomy. The existing taxonomy implies a single lineage in this region, while an unpublished molecular analysis reveals the presence of three distinct lineages in Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand, hence the need for revision. Currently only three named species are described from eastern Australia, all placed within the genus Sabatinca Walker. This revision isolates porphyrodes Turner 1932, from northern Queensland, as a new monotypic genus Austromartyria, here recognised as a member of a diverse ‘southern sabatincoid lineage’ distributed around the Southern Hemisphere. The bulk of the fauna covered in this revision includes: S. calliplaca Meyrick 1902, together with 6 new taxa in a new Australian genus Tasmantrix; S. sterops Turner 1921 plus a new species from New Caledonia, in another new genus Aureopterix. The New Zealand species Sabatinca zonodoxa Meyrick 1888, is synonymised with S. rosicoma Meyrick 1914 and placed in a new monotypic genus Zealandopterix. Finally, a new genus Nannopterix is erected for a new species from New Caledonia. The assemblage of four new genera (excluding Austromartyria) together comprise the basal lineage of Micropterigidae, previously referred to as the ‘Australian-group.’ All five new genera are distinguished from Sabatinca s.str., the focus of diversity in the region (confined to New Caledonia and New Zealand), but not revised here.

A New Species

ABSTRACTSince 1966, when the last major work on fossil scombroid fishes (Scombroidei, Perciformes) from England appeared, our knowledge of the taxonomy and systematics of Recent scombroids has been thoroughly updated, improved and studied in the context of cladistic methods. In comparison, our knowledge of the fossil taxa has lagged much behind. As part of a revision of all fossil and Recent scombroid fishes, the present paper describes an updated systematic palaeontology of the English fossil taxa. These are a subset of taxa subject to a cladistic analysis of Recent and fossil genera combined, the results of which will appear in future papers. Three new genera are erected, two species transferred to other, already existing, ones and a new species is described (in a new genus). The author follows the opinion that Eothynnus Woodward, 1901 is a carangid. Several individual specimens are re-identified. The systematic affinities of Tamesichthys Casier, 1966, Eocoelopoma Woodward, 1901, Scombramphodon Woodward, 1901, Sphyraenodus Agassiz, 1844, Wetherellus Casier, 1966 and Woodwardella Casier, 1966, and a few new taxa, are here considered unknown. Aglyptorhynchus Casier, 1966 is probably a billfish, and Cylindracanthus Leidy, 1856, is possibly one as well, even though there are serious objections to this.

A New Species

The schizomid fauna of Isla de Pinos (the second largest island in the Cuban archipelago), is revised. A new genus is described to accommodate Schizomus insulaepinorum Armas, 1977 (currently in the genus Luisarmasius Reddell & Cokendolpher, 1995), which is redescribed and fully illustrated according to the modern standards in schizomid taxonomy; its geographical distribution is also updated, with a new locality record. A second new, monotypic genus with a new species is also described from the same geographical area: the residual marble hills of the northeast of the island. As results, the schizomid fauna of Isla de Pinos is now known to comprise two nominal genera and species (both endemic to the island), the Cuban schizomid fauna reaches 13 genera and 57 species (being endemics 10 and 56 of them, respectively), and Luisarmasius is left monotypic and becomes the only genus endemic to Puerto Rico.

A New Species

Three new genera and seven new species of paratanaoidean tanaidaceans are described from a variety of littoral and shallow sublittoral habitats around New Zealand, from the Snares Islands to Northland. These include a new leptocheliid genus, Parakonarus, closely allied to Konarus Bamber, and three paratanaids: two species of Paratanais Dana and a new genus, Atemtanais, which appears to show characters intermediate between Metatanais Shiino and Paratanais. The remaining three taxa belong either to the Tanaellidae (a new species of Araphura Bird & Holdich) or are of incertae sedis family status: Kanikipa n. gen. and a new species of Tanaopsis G.O. Sars.This study has almost doubled the known, published records of shallow-water tanaidomorphan species in New Zealand and all of the species are likely to be recorded more widely than the records here imply.

In the tribe Adeliini, 45 genera are recognised: 24 endemic to Australia, nineto New Zealand, eight to New Caledonia, and three to Chile, and one(Licinoma Pascoe) that occurs in both Australia andChile. The genera of Australia and Chile are keyed and fully described, andall recognised species of Adeliini from Australia (303) and Chile (12),including synonyms and 66 new combinations, are listed in appendices. Onlycryptic features (defensive glands, stridulatory files, aedeagus, ovipositorand female tract) are described for New Zealand and New Caledonian genera, butall characters are included in an overall data matrix for analysis.The Adeliini are considered to be a tribe separate from Laenini. Therelationships of Phobelia Blanchard, Laenini,Goniaderini and Oncotini are briefly discussed. Four generic names aresynonymised: Achora Pascoe, 1869 =Isopteron Hope, 1840; DystalicaPascoe, 1869 = Adelium Kirby, 1818;Macroperas Carter, 1914 =Daedrosis Bates, 1868; andPseudadelium Kaszab, 1982 =Neoadelium Carter, 1908. New specific synonymiesproposed are Daedrosis rufipes Carter, 1934 =Tetragonomenes ruficornis (Champion, 1894);Adelium sinuaticolle Carter, 1914 =A. hackeri Carter, 1908;Dystalica multilineata Carter, 1937 =Seirotrana strigipennis Bates, 1873; andAdelium delicatulumCarter, 1919 =Adelium panagaeicolle Macleay, 1872. Two new names areproposed for new secondary homonyms: Daedrosis carteri,nom. nov. for D. antennalis Carter, 1920 (not Carter,1914), and Isopteron kulzeri, nom. nov. forCestrinus gracilis Kulzer, 1964 (not Carter, 1939).Eleven new genera and seven new species are described from Australia:Apocryphodes based onA. thompsoni, sp. nov; Bellendenumbased on B. gonyxuthum, sp. nov.;Bolusculus based on B. arcanus,sp. nov.; Diaspirus based onD. bellendenus, sp. nov.;Dicyrtodes based on D. arneius,sp. nov.; Diemenoma based onAdelium commodum Pascoe, 1869;Dorrigonum based onLicinoma umbilicata Carter, 1924;Epomidus, based on E. prionodes,sp. nov.; Monteithium based onM. ascetum, sp. nov.; Nolicimabased on Cardiothorax angusticollis Carter, 1906; andYarranum based onSeirotrana crenicollis Pascoe, 1869. Two new genera andone new species are described from Chile: Penadeliumbased on P. araucanum, sp. nov., andValdivium based onAdelium sulcatulum Fairmaire & Germain, 1860.All world genera but one were used for a phylogenetic reconstruction usingparsimony, which in turn is the basis for a biogeographic analysis. It wasfound to be necessary to divide Australia into two areas: the wet tropics ofnorthern Queensland, which have genera forming a monophyletic group with someof those of New Caledonia, and south-eastern Australia, which includes generaforming monophyletic groups with those of Chile. New Zealand genera do notparticipate in convincing monophyletic relationships with those of any othersingle area.

In preparation for upcoming studies, several new taxa of Australian Erotylinae (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) need to be described to make names available. New genera and species in Dacnini and Megalodacnini are described. Echinothallis banderbearella, new genus and species (Dacnini); Microdacne, new genus, with four new species (Dacnini), M. gloriousa, M. lamingtonia, M. nardia, M. styxia; and Episcaphula (Tropidoscaphula) megalodacnoides, new species (Megalodacnini). Variation of female terminalia and other characters in several genera are discussed regarding the monophyly and generic diversity of Dacnini.

Fourteen new species and six new genera of the molluscan class Monoplacophora are described from the Upper Cambrian Potosi and Eminence formations and the Lower Ordovician Gasconade Formation of the Ozark Uplift of Missouri and some new biostratigraphic horizons are introduced. A new superfamily, the Hypseloconellacea nom. trans. Knight, 1956, and a new family, the Shelbyoceridae, are named. The genus Proplina is represented by five new species: P. inflatus, P. suttoni from the Cambrian Potosi Formation, P. arcua from the Cambrian Eminence Formation and P. meramecensis and P. sibeliusi from the Lower Ordovician Gasconade Formation. A new genus and species in the subfamily Proplininae, Ozarkplina meramecensis, is described from the Upper Cambrian Eminence Formation. Four new monoplacophoran genera in the superfamily Hypseloconellacea and their species are described, including: Cambrioconus expansus, Orthoconus striatus, Cornuella parva from the Eminence Formation, and Gasconadeoconus ponderosa, G. waynesvillensis, G. expansus from the Gasconade Formation. A new genus in the new family Shelbyoceridae, Archeoconus missourensis, is described from the Eminence Formation and a new species of Shelbyoceras, S. bigpineyensis, is described from the Gasconade Formation.

A review of all snailfishes from New Zealand waters deposited in the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Ton-garewa showed that six genera and at least 18 species occur within the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. Of these,one genus and 16 species are new. These new taxa, described here, are Aetheliparis taurocanis n.g., n.sp. from near Moa Seamount at 731–869 m, Careproctus narilobus from the Chatham Plateau at about 1830 m, C. pellucicauda andParaliparis pseudokreffti from the Bounty Trough at 2786–2821 m, P. exilis from the southeast Chatham slope, P. free-borni and P. pearcyi from the northeast Chatham Rise at 1044–1050 and 1218 m respectively, Osteodiscus rhepostomiasfrom the Bounty Trough at 2786–2821 m, Psednos argyrogaster from the east Chatham Rise at 1015–1037 m, P. chathamifrom the Chatham Rise at 1335–1340 m, P. cryptocaeca from off the Otago Canyons at 118–121 m, P. longiventris fromthe Chatham Rise at 1054–1058 m, P. microstomus from Reinga Ridge at 1158–1230 m, P. nemnezi from the Pegasus Can-yon and south Chatham Rise at 862–960 m, P. platyoperculosus from Chatham Rise at 1141–1163 m, and P. struthersifrom the southern Havre Trough at 1411–1428 m. The two previously known species from New Zealand waters are Care-proctus novaezelandiae Andriashev and Notoliparis kermadecensis (Nielsen). In addition, several specimens of Parali-paris and Psednos could not be identified or described because of their poor condition, but do not seem to be the same asany of the 18 described species. Partial descriptions are provided for them. This paper describes the new taxa, reviews the known taxa, and provides keys to their identification.
