Ammonite Zones

Abstract A restudy of the Cenomanian ammonites of the Nice area, southeast of the Maritime Alps (France), suggests that the conclusion of H. Parent (1945) that the fauna of the upper Cenomanian also occurs in the lower Cenomanian is erroneous. Actually the ammonite zones here conform with those of the rest of the world. Reexamination of Parent's specimens showed that they were too poorly preserved to be identified specifically or, at times, even generically. Subsequent revision of the Chateauneuf fauna revealed that it was entirely lower Cenomanian with the exception of Calycoceras boulei Coll. The locality north of Peille is chosen as the type locality for the Nice Cenomanian. The ammonite zones of the Iberian peninsula, the southeast Maritime Alps, and Madagascar are correlated in a table.

AbstractHere, we report the recent discovery of 87 Neandertal footprints on the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula (Doñana shoreline, Spain) located on an upper Pleistocene aeolian littoral setting (about 106 ± 19 kyr). Morphometric comparisons, high resolution digital photogrammetric 3D models and detailed sedimentary analysis have been provided to characterized the footprints and the palaeoenvironment. The footprints were impressed in the shoreline of a hypersaline swamped area related to benthic microbial mats, close to the coastline. They have a rounded heel, a longitudinal arch, relatively short toes, and adducted hallux, and represent the oldest upper Pleistocene record of Neandertal footprints in the world. Among these 87 footprints, 31 are longitudinally complete and measure from 14 to 29 cm. The calculated statures range from 104 to 188 cm, with half of the data between 130 and 150 cm. The wide range of sizes of the footprints suggests the existence of a social group integrated by individuals of different age classes but dominated, however, by non-adult individuals. The footprints, which are outside the flooded area are oriented perpendicular to the shoreline. These 87 footprints reinforce the ecological scenario of Neandertal groups established in coastal areas.

Today we are witnessing a very rare phenomenon in world history: a state suddenly deluged with an apparently inexhaustible amount of wealth as occurred in sixteenth-century Spain and Portugal when the riches of the New World flowed to the Iberian peninsula. Now the ‘black gold’ under the sands of the Arabian desert has provided one of the most underpopulated and under developed regions of the world with an equivalent bonanza. The new wealth of Spain helped to ruin that country. What will be the fate of Saudi Arabia and its small neighbors?

AbstractThe type material ofAgraulos antiquusSdzuy, 1961 from the La Herrería Formation, northern Spain, is revised together with additional material and included in the new genusLunagraulos. The stratigraphical range ofLunagraulos antiquus(Sdzuy, 1961) – occurring below that of the trilobite species of the generaLunolenus,MetadoxidesandDolerolenusin the type locality of Los Barrios de Luna in the province of León, northern Spain – and the accompanying ichnofossil assemblage demonstrate an Ovetian age (lower part of Cambrian Stage 3, currently being discussed by the International Subcommission on Cambrian Stratigraphy) for this species. Moreover, the trilobiteLunagraulos tamamensisn. gen. n. sp. is found in the Tamames Sandstone near the village of La Rinconada in the province of Salamanca, central Spain. The biostratigraphical position of this new taxon and its accompanying ichnoassemblage is also analysed and assigned to the lowermost Ovetian Stage. The genusLunagraulosis therefore the oldest agraulid found in the fossil record. The exceptional presence ofLunagraulosin a marine coarse siliciclastic succession – a facies rather typical for the ichnofossilsCruzianaandRusophycus, some of the oldest signs of trilobite activity – suggests that first trilobite representatives may have inhabited high- to middle-energy, marine environments. This hypothesis may also explain both the taxonomic and biostratigraphic heterogeneity of the first trilobite genera appearing across the world, due to preservation problems in this type of facies. Comparison of theLunagraulos biostratigraphy with other coeval Spanish fossil assemblages allows us to propose its intercontinental correlation with the oldest records of currently known trilobites.

A New Species

On several occasions, shrimps belonging to a new species of the genus Typhlatya were collected in a cave in the province of Castellón, Spain. This is the first record of the genus in the Iberian Peninsula. The species is described and the validity, distribution, and zoogeography of the genus, as well as the status of the genus Spelaeocaris, are discussed. Former models for the evolution of the genus Typhlatya and its genus group are reviewed, as well as the system of inner classification of the Atyidae and its biogeographical meaning. For the age and evolution of the genus we developed a new model based on vicariance principles that involves further evolution of each species after the disruption of the ancestral range. This allows new estimations for the age of the genus. Accordingly, we suppose that other proposals, such as recent dispersal through the sea, should be disregarded for this genus. The evolutionary development of this species is discussed in the context of the geological history of the area and the world distribution of the genus, the genus group, and the family.

This chapter provides a background of the arrival of the Portuguese Jews in Amsterdam in the 1850s and how they created out of nothing a Jewish community that quickly became renowned across the world. The former Conversos, including those of the Portuguese community of early modern Amsterdam, have been called the first modern Jews. As New Christians, they gained a reputation for immense wealth, elegance, and aristocratic style that commanded respect in their new domicile. It is less widely known that the new immigrants from the Iberian peninsula also included paupers, or that some of the immigrants or their descendants later became impoverished in Amsterdam. Because of the economic restrictions Amsterdam imposed upon Jews, many were not able to practise their accustomed occupations and as a result were reduced to poverty. Women, single or at the head of a nuclear or extended family, were particularly vulnerable, as were orphans, the infirm, and the aged. Thus, the Portuguese in Amsterdam built up a welfare system that included provision for displaced persons, and especially paupers, belonging to their ‘nation’. However, in the event they had to cope not only with their own compatriots but also with a host of poor migrants from other parts of the contemporary Jewish world, fleeing various combinations of war, persecution, economic depression, and unemployment and lured to Amsterdam by the reputed wealth of the Amsterdam Portuguese.

A New Species

A new species of subterranean japygid dipluran belonging to a new genus is diagnosed and described from the eastern Iberian Peninsula. The new species is highly adapted to hypogean life with very obvious troglobiomorphic features: unpigmented cuticle, an extraordinary lengthening of thorax and appendixes, multiplication of antennomeres and supernumerary placoid sensilla, not just in the apical antennomere but also in the preceding antennomeres. These traits make it the most exceptional of all the hypogean Japygidae known to date, with troglobiomorphic characteristics more accentuated than in other hypogean taxa known in the rest of the world. The cercal armature of the Burmjapyx type (Silvestri, 1930; sensu Paclt, 1957) together with the characteristics of the glandular organs of the first urosternite set it apart from the known Japygidae. However, those characteristics prove insufficient to establish a relation with other genera. It is therefore the only manifestly hypogean japygid species in the Iberian Peninsula, where only Metajapyx moroderi Silvestri, was known in certain caves of the eastern reaches of the Prebetic range. The new species has been located inside six average-sized underground caves, generally in the deepest areas, and may be one of the major hypogean predators in the Iberian Peninsula, with a diet that ranges from Acari to Anillini carabids. Its distribution along the limestone regions of the coastal ranges in the east of the Peninsula coincides with that of paleo-endemic troglobites. Therefore, it is possible to infer a remote origin for this species, as suggested by its high level of specialization in the subterranean ecosystems.

Liolaemus is one of the most diverse genus of lizards in the world (Esquerré et al. 2013), with 257 species listed in the last review focusing on its diversity (Abdala & Quinteros 2014). Certain species within this genus, especially the earlier ones, were described in very little detail, even lacking an appropriate description of the holotype and/or type locality. This has created uncertainties in the taxonomic identity of several Liolaemus species (Espinoza et al. 2011; Quinteros et al. 2008; Troncoso-Palacios & Garin 2013; Langstroth 2011).

In the General Catalogue of the Homoptera (METCALF, 1967)contains 36 genera and 215 Neotropical species, including north ofMexico distributed within 10 tribes (two genera and six species inEuscelini, one genera and one species in Colladonini, one genusand one species in Goniagnathini, four genera and 52 species inAcinopterini, one genus and one species in Cicadulini, four generaand 80 species in Scaphytopiini, five genera and 32 species inBalcluthini, one genus and one species in Macrostelini, three   genera and five species in Platymetopiini and 14 genera and 82 species in Scaphoideini). However, since 1967 many papers on Neotropical Deltocephalinae have been published including classification and nomenclatorial alterations, new taxa and geographical distribution. The complete bibliography of the leafhopper literature up to 1955 can be found in the General Catalogue of the Homoptera, Fascicle VI, Part 10 (METCALF, 1962-1968). OMAN et al. (1990) published a complete list of the world genera of Cicadellidae and the bibliography between 1955-1985. In this work are recorded 21 Neotropical subfamilies, 16 Neotropical tribes and 184 Neotropical genera (one genus in Acinopterini, one genus in Cicadullini, one genus in Cerrillini, six genera in Hecalini, one genus in Luheriini, two genera in  Doraturini, two genera in Stenometopiini, four genera in Scaphytopiini, two genera in Platymetopiini, six genera in Scaphoideini, one genus in Balcluthini, seven genera in Macrostelini, two genera in Opsiini, one genus in Penthimiini, 40 genera in Deltocephalini and 107 genera in Athysanini); eight genera without references about the tribe. Another subfamily and genus were added by GODOY & WEBB (1994). This catalogue is an attempt to offer the names and bibliographic references for taxa of Deltocephalinae (Caribbean, Central America and South America). After each species-group name, the type locality, and anabbreviation of the institution where the type is deposited, are given. The geographical distribution is based upon previously published records. Each species-group name is followed by the informations including of the author (s), publication year and page and when not strictly taxonomical, an abbreviated indication of the matter treated such as: cat. — catalogue, desc. — description, distr. — geographical distribution, ill. — illustration, rev. — revision, syn. — synonymy, tax. — taxonomy.

First Time

The San Felipe Hutia, Mesocapromys sanfelipensis, is one of the most endangered species of rodents in the world, and little is known about its ecology, evolution, and ancient distribution. At present, this hutia has been found only in its type locality, Cayo Juan Garcia, a cay in the southwest Cuban insular platform. Here we report for the first time a well preserved fossil skull referred to this species, collected in Cueva del Indio, Mayabeque province, western Cuba. This specimen shows that the modern population of M. sanfelipensis is a marginal relic of its former distribution, a consequence of climatic, eustatic, and neotectonic changes in the last 8 ka years. Also, we reevaluate the cranial characters and measurements that correspond to M. sanfelipensis and found that two of the eight specimens referred to this species and deposited at the Instituto de Ecologia y Sistematica belong to Mesocapromys auritus. Finally, we include six unpublished photos of specimens of M. sanfelipensis captured in 1970 during two expeditions to Cayo Juan Garcia.
