During the expedition of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ZIN RAS) in 1998, a fossil impression of a polychaete worm belonging to the family Nephtyidae Grube, 1850, containing fragments of jaws, was found in the west of Sakhalin. The find is dated to the Middle and Upper Miocene. There are no published records of any finds of fossil nephtyids in the area. Based on the analysis of the jaw shape, it is concluded that the nephtyid impression may belong to the genus Nephtys Cuvier 1817 or the genus Aglaophamus Kinberg, 1865.

The data are summarized on the type specimens (holotypes, lectotypes, paratypes, paralectotypes) of 19 species in the family Scathophagidae (Diptera) kept at the Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg. The lectotypes are designated for three species, Scatophaga arctica Becker, 1897, S. septentrionalis Becker, 1897, and Scopeuma longinqua Becker, 1915. Acerocnema obscuripes Becker, 1915 is transferred to the genus Nanna Strobl, 1894. Three new synonymies are established: Scathophaga multisetosa (Holmgren, 1883) = Scatophaga arctica Becker, 1897, syn. nov.; Nanna obscuripes (Becker, 1915) = N. indotatum Engelmark, 1999, syn. nov.; Allomyella frigida (Holmgren, 1883) = Microprosopa varitibia Becker, 1897, syn. nov. Both syntypes of Ceratinostoma nudiseta Becker, 1907 are not Scathophagidae but Muscidae possibly belonging to Spilogona Schnabl, 1911. A redescription of Allomyella portenkoi (Stackelberg, 1952) is given.

This article continues the publication of information about the osteological remains of the Pazyryk horses, which are stored in the funds of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg). Among the available collections, materials from the burial mounds of such Altai sites as Katanda-II and Aragol were identified. The first archaeological complex in the 1920s was studied by S.I. Rudenko. It is located in a section of a valley near the confluence of the Katanda River with the Katun River. There, nearby in 1865 V. V. Radlov conducted his work. In 1925, two ancient burial mounds with the burials of ordinary nomads, who were accompanied by ritual burials ofhorses, were excavated. The second complex was discovered and studied in 1924-1925 on the territory of Eastern Altai, not far from the well-known group of “royal” burial mounds in the Pazyryk tract. In 1929, a detachment of V.S. Adrianov during the planned work researched three burial objects of the Scythian-Saka time with the skeletons of horses in two burials. In total, in these mounds, the osteological remains of seven horses were recorded. Incomplete skeletons of these animals were found in the storage. The recorded materials formed the basis for archaeozoological determinations.

ABSTRACTThe family Austropanorpidae (Mecoptera) was described by Willmann in 1977 from the Eocene of Australia, based on one genus and species, Austropanorpa australis Riek, 1952. During a restudy of the collection of the Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, a second and much older representative of this family was found. This specimen, described as Orthophlebia martynovae Sukatsheva, 1985 from Siberia (Russia), was considered until now to be a member of family Orthophlebiidae. We transfer this species to the Austropanorpidae, extending the age of this family back to the Early Jurassic. An updated diagnoses of the family Austropanorpidae and genus Austropanorpa are presented here.
