The present study describes five newly recorded modern benthic foraminiferal species from the subtidal zone near Jeju Island and East China Sea (Korea). The newly recorded species (Karrerulina conversa, Rotaliammina trumbulli, Vertebralina striata, Pegidia dubia and Amphistegina radiata) belong to five families (Prolixoplectidae, Trochamminidae, Fischerinidae, Pegidiidae and Amphisteginidae), three orders (Lituolida, Miliolida and Rotaliida) and two classes (Globothalamea and Tubothalamea). All these five genera (Karrerulina, Rotaliammina, Vertebralina, Pegidia and Amphistegina) were also reported for the first time from Korean waters. Most of the examined specimens were highly consistent morphologically with previous records from southern China and Japan. Additionally, Amphistegina is one of the symbiont-bearing larger benthic foraminifera, known to be mainly distributed in tropical to warm subtropical waters. This study contributes to the expansion of data on the recent foraminiferal species diversity in Korean waters.

Abstract Cretaceous carbonates in the Geyik Dağı area (Central Taurides, southern Turkey) are represented by two successions with different paleoenvironmental settings: open shelf to slope succession of Cenomanian to Danian age and inner platform succession of Albian to Maastrichtian age, which is interrupted by a post-Cenomanian disconformity. Outcropped lowermost part of the platform-type one is composed of rudistid limestones corresponding to the Urgonian-type carbonates and belongs to the Geyik Dağı Unit (=Anamas-Akseki Carbonate Platform). It contains a rich assemblage of larger benthic foraminifera including orbitolinid, chrysalidinid, cuneolinid, nezzazatid, and miliolid taxa, which has been illustrated and documented here for the first time from the upper Albian of the Tauride Carbonate Platform. The occurrence of such a diversified foraminiferal fauna indicates a prominent high diversity that took place in the Tauride Carbonate Platform during the late Albian time, which corresponds to a major emersion period in some parts of the platform.

Upper Paleocene

The micropalaeontological inventory of the shallow-water carbonates of the Paleocene Chehel-Kaman Formation cropping out in the Kopet-Dagh Basin of north-eastern Iran is poorly known. New sampling has evidenced for the first time the occurrence of layers with abundant calcareous green algae including Dasycladales and Halimedaceae. The following dasycladalean taxa have been observed: Jodotella veslensis Morellet & Morellet, Cymopolia cf. mayaense Johnson & Kaska, Neomeris plagnensis Deloffre, Thyrsoporella-Trinocladus, Uteria aff. merienda (Elliott) and Acicularia div. sp. The studied section is devoid of larger benthic foraminifera and can be referred to the middle-upper Paleocene (SBZ 2-4) due to the presence of Rahaghia khorassanica (Rahaghi). Some of the dasycladalean taxa are herein reported for the first time not only from Iran but also the Central Neotethyan realm.

Larger benthic foraminifera from the upper Maastrichtian Auradu Formation of Somalia exhibit striking matches with the assemblages from the time-equivalent Tarbur Formation of Iran and other, but less well studied lithostratigraphic units in SE Turkey (e.g., Garzan Fm.). Some taxa, among also new ones, described from Somalia need taxonomic updates (revision, synonymy, re-instatement). Dukhania? cherchii Luger is considered a junior synonym of Acordiella? tarburensis Schlagintweit & Rashidi, and Pseudorbitolina schroederi Luger is re-instated and considered a valid taxon, different from the Campanian P. marthae Douvillé of the western Tethyan domain. The genus Cyclopsinella Galloway is reported for the first time from the upper Maastrichtian of Iran.

New data on species diversity of agaricoid fungi of Oksky Biosphere Reserve are given. The checklist of 41 species with indication of their localities and herbarium numbers (of the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute, LE) is provided. Three species (Conocybe gigasperma, Entoloma occultopigmentatum, E. scabiosum) are recorded for the first time in Russia.

Xestocephalus Van Duzee is among the most common and widespread genera of Cicadellidae in the temperate and tropical regions of the world. In the present study, 205 specimens of the genus Xestocephalus were collected in Thailand, whereas only a single species of the genus was recorded previously using Malaise trap field sampling, studied by comparative morphology. Seventeen species were recognized, including twelve new species: X. binarius sp. nov., X. chrysanthemum sp. nov., X. cowboyocreus sp. nov., X. densprint sp. nov., X. dimiprocessus sp. nov., X. exproiecturus sp. nov., X. gracilus sp. nov., X. limpidissimus sp. nov., X. malleus sp. nov., X. nonattribus sp. nov., X. recipinams sp. nov., and X. tenusis Liang sp. nov. Four species were recorded in Thailand for the first time: Xestocephalus abyssinicus Heller and Linnavuori, Xestocephalus asper Linnavuori, Xestocephalus ishidae Matsumura, and Xestocephalus toroensis Matsumura. Detailed morphological descriptions of all 17 species are given; photographs of external habitus and male genitalia of the species from Thailand are provided. A checklist of species of the genus is also given, and a key to all Thailand Xestocephalus species is also provided.
