The order Isochrysidales was erected by Pascher in 1910 to accommodate chrysomonads with two equal flagella. It was based on the family Hymenomonadaceae (Senn, 1900) and included such genera as Synura Ehrenberg (later shown to be heterokont and therefore incorrectly placed here; Hovasse, 1949; Manton, 1955), Wyssotzkia Lemmermann and Hymenomonas Stein. Papenfuss (1955) used the name in a similar sense but encompassing also the coccolithophorids, while those genera with two equal flagella and a ‘short third flagellum’ ((Prymnesium Massart, Platychrysis N. Carter, Chrysochromulina Lackey) were placed in the order Prymnesiales. Subsequently it was demonstrated that members of the Isochrysidales and Prymnesiales differ from other chrysomonads in that the two true flag-ella are smooth with no coarse hairs (‘mastigonemes’) and that the third appendage found in genera of the latter order is a unique structure, termed the ‘haptonema’ by Parke, Manton & Clarke (1955). On the basis of these observations, Christensen (1962) erected a new class, the Haptophyceae (now referred to by the typified name Prymnesiophyceae; Hibberd, 1976 a), to contain the two orders although Bourrelly (1968) preferred to retain them within the Chrysophyceae whilst recognizing their unique status by the erection of a sub-class, the Isochrysophycidae.

The citation of Charles Spence Bate has become a source of uncertainly in the literature. Indeed, for some taxa his authority is given as “Spence Bate”, whilst others “Bate” e.g. Artemesia longinaris Spence Bate, 1888 compared with Ibacus brevipes Bate, 1888. In order to resolve this inconsistency, a lengthy manual search of selected contemporary journals for the period from ca. 1854 to 1889 was undertaken with special reference to the name Charles Spence Bate being listed alphabetically by family/surname either under “Bate”, “Spence Bate” or “Spence-Bate”. Overwhelming evidence indicated that his family/surname is Bate. Furthermore, as there are a number of carcinologists also with the family name Bate, therefore it is recommended that taxa described by Charles Spence Bate should be referred to as C.S. Bate, for example Artemesia longinaris C.S. Bate, 1888 and Ibacus brevipes C.S. Bate, 1888.

Abstract Asaroon is the rhizome of Asarum europaeum L. and is commonly used in Unani medicines for its various pharmacological actions. It is an evergreen plant with glossy foliage. It belongs to the family of Aristolochiaceae and is native to Europe and the United State of America. Some species of Asaroon have been found in the Eastern Himalayan region. Asaroon has actions like Muharrik-i-A‘sab (nervine stimulant), Mudirr-i-Bawl (diuretics), Mudirr-i-Hayd (emmenagogue), Musakkin-i-Alam (analgesic), Mufattit-i-sudad (remove obstructions) and Muqawwī-i-Jigar (hepatotonic), etc. It is used in the management of Hummā (fevers), Waja 'al-Mafasil (polyarthritis), Sara (epilepsy), Falij (paralysis), Ihtibās al-Tamth (amenorrhea) and Niqris (gout), etc. as per the Unani system of medicine (USM). It is used as a single herb as well as with a combination of other drugs to manage many diseases. The A. europaeum L. contains volatile oils and flavonoids along with other secondary metabolites. In the Indian market, Valeriana wallichii DC has been sold as Tagar but in some cases, it is sold as Asaroon. It is a clear case of adulteration by replacement of costly foreign drugs with a similar-looking indigenous drug. In this manuscript, we have discussed the Ethno-pharmacology of the A. europaeum L. with special reference to USM and basic differences with V. wallichii DC to show that both drugs are different and their actions and uses are also different from each other.

The Asian genus Glyptopetalum Thwaites (1856: 267) comprises 35 species (Savinov 2014) of which 5 species are occurring in India (Ramamurthy 2000). Glyptopetalum griffithii Prain (1891: 209) was described on the basis of a single gathering obtained by Griffith from the Mishmi hills, Arunachal Pradesh, India. Later, Kanjilal et al. (1936: 266) recognized and treated this species based on a collection by Kanjilal from Pashighat in Arunachal Pradesh. Eventually Ramamurthy (2000: 112) also accepted the species in his treatment of the family Celastraceae for the Flora of India. Chakrabarty & Gangopadhyay (1990: 129) as well as Savinov (2014: 187) erroneously considered G. griffithii a name based on Euonymus griffithii Kurz (1870: 73). However, the latter was proposed as a new name for Hippocratea angulata Griffith (1854: 473), due to the existence of Euonymus angulata Wight (1846: t. 1053), whereas G. griffithii was originally described as species new to science.

Marine Gastrotricha, both Macrodasyida and Chaetonotida, are the subject of an analytic review, citing taxonomic status of names, authorships of taxa, and those responsible for changes, in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 4 th ed. (1999). Notes are included with regard to taxonomic usage so as to guide workers in the future. Among the proposed novelties are: within Macrodasyida, to restrict the family Lepidodasyidae Remane, 1927 to the genus Lepidodasys Remane, 1926, and to establish a new family, Cephalodasyidae with Cephalodasys Remane, 1926 as its type-species to house the remaining genera and species that have been contained in the polyphyletic family Lepidodasyidae. Hemidasys agaso Claparède, 1867 is considered extinct, and the new name Tetranchyroderma antenniphorum is proposed for Tetranchyroderma antennatum Luporini, Magagnini & Tongiorgi, 1973; in addition, five species are here considered to be species inquirendae: Dactylopodola weilli d'Hondt, 1965, Paradasys nipponensis Sudzuki, 1976, Macrodasys indicus Kutty & Nair, 1969. Tetranchyroderma forceps d’Hondt & Balsamo, 2009 and Turbanella plana (Giard, 1904b). Among Chaetonotida: the Xenotrichula velox-species group Ruppert, 1979 and the Xenotrichula intermedia-species group Ruppert, 1979 were given each the rank of subgenus. Chaetonotus pleuracanthus Remane, 1926 is rejected as a synonym for Chaetonotus marinus Giard, 1904; Chaetonotus somniculosus Mock, 1979 is transferred to the genus Halichaetonotus, the new name Halichaetonotus euromarinus is proposed for Halichaetonotus spinosus Mock, 1979, and Xenotrichula carolinensis Ruppert, 1979 is re-established. Heteroxenotrichula variocirrata d'Hondt, 1966 is here considered to be species inquirenda.

The three species described by Signoret in the genus Spondyliaspis Sign. belong to two genera. As a result Scenitopsylla Tuthill & Taylor becomes a junior synonym of Spondyliaspis, two of Signoret's species are referred to Cardiaspina Crawf., and a new genus (Glycaspis) is erected for species assigned to Spondyliaspis by Schwarz, Froggatt, and other authors. Another new genus (Hyalinaspis) is erected for Cardiaspis rubra Frogg., and Uhleria Crawf, is considered a junior synonym of Lasiopsylla Frogg. Because Thea Scott was preoccupied, a new name, Phellopsylla, is proposed for the genus containing species heretofore known under the name Thea. Psylla lidgetti Mask. is considered to be correctly placed in the genus Psylla Geoff.; Psylla subfasciata Er. in the new genus Hyalinaspis; Aphalara leptospermi Frogg. in Eucalyptolyma Frogg. Ascelis(?) multitudinea Tepper, which was referred to Trioza Forst. by Maskell, is now placed in the family Cecidomyidae (Diptera).
