New Cancellariidae (Neogastropoda) assemblages from the Middle Miocene of Hungary with description of a new species

AbstractIn this paper we review five cancellariid assemblages from the Hungarian part of the Pannonian Basin (Börzsöny, Bakony, and Mecsek Mts regions) which yielded 26 species. Ten species are recorded for the first time in Hungary. One species, Scalptia nemethi n. sp. is described as new. A revision of the Hungarian museum collections and historical Hungarian literature is also provided. Sveltia salbriacensis Peyrot 1928 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Petitina inermis (Pusch 1837).

A New Species ◽

The genus Gonyleptellus Roewer, 1930 is revised and reordered; a new species Gonyleptellus angeloi sp. nov. is described from Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, three additional species are transferred from other genera and one species is removed, resulting in five species in this genus. The following nomenclatural acts are proposed herein: Gonyleptes pustulatus Sørensen, 1884 is transferred from Gonyleptes to Gonyleptellus; Gonyleptes cancellatus Roewer, 1917 and Progonyleptoides pustulosus Mello-Leitão, 1935, both currently under the synonymy of Gonyleptellus bimaculatus (Sørensen, 1884), are revalidated and transferred to Gonyleptellus. Stephanocranion bimaculatus Mello-Leitão, 1931, previously considered a junior synonym of Gonyleptes cancellatus Roewer, 1917, and thereby previously carried under the synonymy of Gonyleptes bimaculatus Sørensen, 1884, is here unlinked with the former but kept under the synonymy of the latter (of which it is also a junior secondary homonym). Stephanocranion serrulatum Mello-Leitão, 1940, currently under the synonymy of G. bimaculatus, is newly synonymized with P. pustulosus. Stephanocranion bufoninus Mello-Leitão, 1949 (currently combined under Gonyleptellus) is considered a junior subjective synonym of Discocyrtus crenulatus Roewer, 1913. The male of Gonyleptellus bimaculatus is described for the first time. The genus Gonyleptellus is restricted to the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil. A key and a map for all the five valid species are presented.

A New Species ◽

The genus Thysanoptyx Hampson, 1894 is a member of the subtribe Lithosiina, tribe Lithosiini (Arctiinae). It was described as a monotypic genus for Lithosia tetragona Walker, 1854 from Silhet [Sylhet], [Bangladesh].Hampson (1900) treated Thysanoptyx as a synonym of Eilema Hübner. Daniel (1954) placed it under Lithosia Fabricius, whereas Birket-Smith (1965) treated it as a junior subjective synonym of Teulisna Walker. Later, Kishida (1993) considered Thysanoptyx Hampson as a valid genus. Fang (2000) reported four species from China: Thysanoptyx tetragona (Walker, 1854), T. fimbriata (Leech, 1890), T. signata (Walker, 1854), and T. brevimacula (Alphéraky, 1897). However, the male genitalia of T. tetragona figured by Fang (2000) belong to a probably new species (Singh, pers. obs.). Holloway (2001) considered four species, Thysanoptyx tetragona, T. oblonga (Butler, 1877), T. sordida (Butler, 1881), and T. incurvata Wileman & West, 1928 from Oriental region. Kirti & Singh (2015) described a new species, T. pseudotetragona Joshi, Singh & Kirti from South India (Kerala) and reported T. incurvata for the first time from India. However, the new reporting of T. incurvata seems to be incorrect (see the remark below). Recently, Volynkin & Dubatolov (2017) subdivided Thysanoptyx into five species groups: tetragona species group, oblonga species group, sordida species group, signata species group, and fimbriata species group, with the description of two new species: T. indosinica Volynkin & Dubatolov, 2017 from Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and T. mirifica Volynkin & Dubatolov, 2017 from Vietnam. At present the genus comprises 10 valid species distributed from China, Taiwan to India and South East Asia.

Ocesobates (Oribatida, Chamobatidae) is recorded in the Oriental region for the first time; a new species of this genus is described from soil, ferns, lichens and gramineous weeds of Taiwan. Ocesobates ziweiensis sp. nov. differs from other Ocesobates-species by the presence of translamella (versus translamella absent). A revised generic diagnosis and an identification key to known species of Ocesobates are presented. Ocesobates bregetovae Shaldybina, 1974 is proposed as a junior subjective synonym of Ocesobates boedvarssoni (Sellnick, 1974). Ocesobates galaicus Subías & Shtanchaeva, 2012 is moved to the genus Globozetes Sellnick, 1928.

We review the Melittiini fauna of mainland China and list a total of 14 species in two genera. Melittia proxima Le Cerf, 1917, Melittia fulvipes Kallies & Arita, 2004, Melittia distincta Le Cerf, 1916, and Macroscelesia vietnamica Arita & Gorbunov, 2000 are recorded from China for the first time. Macroscelesia perlucida Kallies & Arita, sp. nov. is described as new to science based on specimens collected in China (Guangxi Province) and in northern Vietnam. Melittia formosana Matsumura, 1911 is considered a subspecies of Melittia eurytion (Westwood, 1848) (stat. nov.), and Melittia eurytion nagaii Arita & Gorbunov, 1997 is treated as a junior subjective synonym of M. eurytion formosana (syn. nov.).

The oribatid mite subgenus Scheloribates (Topobates) Grandjean, 1958, is recorded from the Neotropical region for the first time. A new species of this subgenus is described from the leaf litter collected in Cayo Agua Island, Panama. Scheloribates (Topobates) panamaensis sp. nov. differs from its related species by the very large body size and presence of a strong ventrodistal process on the leg femora II–IV.
