AbstractHyalopyrenia japonica Harada (lichenized Ascomycotina) is described as new genus on the basis of a specimen from friable rock in forests in Chiba-ken, central Japan. It is characterized by a poorly developed crustose thallus, a Trentepohlia phycobiont, immersed perithecia with hyaline walls, simple paraphyses and periphyses, non-amyloid bitunicate asci with an ocular chamber, and transversely septate hyaline spores. Hyalopyrenia is monotypic, and its taxonomic position is uncertain.

New Family

Size reduction and development of a simplified brachidial structure occurred several times during the long evolution of the Phylum Brachiopoda. Even Recent forms may be micromorphic and paedomorphic with reduced brachidia or none at all. A revision of the Maastrichtian (Late Cretaceous) Terebratella (Morrisia?) suessi Bosquet, 1859 has allowed us to erect a new genus, Jagtithyris gen. nov., because its singular brachidium development does not match any platidiid structure. Such a brachidium has also been observed in another European Late Cretaceous brachiopod, which indicates that this type was not a unique morphological curiosity. This species is the micromorphic Campanian-Maastrichtian Leptothyrellopsis polonicus Bitner & Pisera, 1979, which has brachidial structures in common with Jagtithyris suessi comb. nov., although a number of differences have been observed. The genera Leptothyrellopsis and Jagtithyris gen. nov., are included in a new family, Jagtithyrididae fam. nov. During an ongoing revision of extant brachiopod faunas we have been led to recognize a link between this family and representatives of the genus Simplicithyris Zezina, 1976. The taxonomic position of this peculiar group is also discussed.

A new Oriental stegelytrine leafhopper genus, Wyuchiva, and two new species, Wyuchiva elegantula (type species) from Thailand and Wyuchiva menglaensis from China, are described and illustrated. The taxonomic position of the new genus is discussed and phylogenetic remarks on this and a related genus, Temburocera Webb, 1999, are given.

A New Species

Azumamiris, a new genus of mirine plant bug, is established to accommodate a new species, A. vernalis, which has occasionally been found in central Honshu, Japan. This univoltine mirine was confirmed to be associated with a gramineous dwarf bamboo, Pleioblastus chino (Fr. et Sav.) Makino, and the adults appear only in early May. The final instar nymph is also diagnosed and described. The present new genus is assumed to be allied to Stenotus Jakovlev known from the Old World and to continental Chinese Elthemidea Zheng. A key to the genera under discussion is provided.

AbstractThe new genus,CameroniaKantvilas, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by a crustose thallus, a chlorococcalean photobiont, deeply immersed perithecioid ascomata, four-spored asci with an intensely hemiamyloid outer wall and non-amyloid, well-developed tholus, and hyaline, muriform ascospores. The taxonomic position of the new genus is uncertain although a relationship with theOstropomycetidaeis likely. Two species, both endemic to the highlands of Tasmania, are described:C. pertusarioidesKantvilas, which is one of the most common lichens on dolerite in alpine Tasmania, andC. tectaKantvilas, which is confined to metamorphosed sediments.

Phenotypic Characters

Some Antarctic littorinoideans have a remarkable convergence with Naticoidea in shell and operculum features. Two naticid-like species of that group are studied in their phenotypic features in order to improve their taxonomy and to discuss the meaning of that convergence, as the former are herbivore-detritivore and the latter active predatory organisms. One of the studied species is the littorinidLaevilacunaria antarctica(Martens, 1885). The other belongs to a new genus –Pseudonatica, with the type species also newly described:P. antarctica, the genus is tentatively placed in Zerotulidae. Another Pseudonatica is also described,P. ampullarica, based only on shells collected by Marion-Dufresne French expedition off Brazilian coast, this finding expands the occurrence of zerotulids northwards. Besides the similarities of shell and operculum, other structures of these Antarctic species also show singular similarities with naticoideans, such as the wide foot, the complexity of opercular attachment in pedal opercular pad, the wide oesophageal gland, and the coiled arrangement of the pallial oviduct. The phenotypic characters were coded and inserted in a previous large phylogenetic analysis on Caenogastropoda (Simone, 2011), furnishing a wide basis for discussion on the characters, taxonomic position, evolution and adaptations of these organisms.

Current Information

The type species of the genus Broomea Cookson and Eisenack possesses an intercalary archeopyle formed by loss of a single intercalary paraplate. Species with demonstrable apical archeopyles, formerly assigned to Broomea, are excluded by redefinition of that genus and placed in Batioladinium gen. nov. The taxonomic position of five other species previously assigned to Broomea cannot be resolved on the basis of current information. Transferred to the new genus are Batioladinium jaegeri (Alberti) comb, nov., designated herein as the type species; B. longicornutum (Alberti) comb. nov.; B. micropodum (Eisenack and Cookson) comb. nov.; and provisionally, B.? exiguum (Alberti) comb. nov. and B.? pelliferum (Alberti) comb. nov.
