The Australian genera of Chrysomelinae are reviewed and redefined. A new genus of Chrysomelinae is described: Alfius gen. n., from Queensland, with three species, A. hieroglyphicus (Lea), A. pictus (Lea) and A. pictipennis (Lea), all transferred from Oomela Lea. The hitherto Papuan genus Sphaerotritoma Arrow, with two species, is removed from Erotylidae and placed in Chrysomelinae, and one Australian species added, S. coccinelloides (Lea), from Oomela. A key is provided for adults of the 42 native and 4 exotic genera of Chrysomelinae occurring in Australia. Information on host-plants and immature stages is listed where known. Taxonomic and nomenclatural problems in the Australian or Papuan Chrysomelinae are resolved, as follows: (i) new or confirmed generic synonyms, senior name first: Callidemum Blanchard (= Augomela Baly, = Clidonotus Chapuis syn. n., = Kurumela Gressitt, = Stethomela Baly); Chalcomela Baly (= Cyclomela Baly syn. n., = Micromela Baly), Dicranosterna Motschulsky (= Trochalodes Weise syn. n., = Paropsimelina Daccordi syn. n.), Oomela Lea (= Nannoda Weise), Paropsimorpha Lhoste (= Thaumalegastra Daccordi syn. n.), Paropsis Olivier (= Procrisina Aslam syn. n.), Paropsisterna Motschulsky (= Chrysophtharta Weise syn. n., = Sterromela Weise syn. n., = Xanthogramma Weise syn. n.), Platymela Baly (= Macelola Selman syn. n.), Trachymela Weise (= Chondromela Weise); (ii) reversal of synonymy (sensu Daccordi 1994) by removal of: Phola Weise from Chalcolampra Blanchard; Rhaebosterna Weise from Faex Weise; Platymela Baly from Callidemum Blanchard; (iii) replacement of species homonyms: Phyllocharis ewani nom. n. for Phyllocharis abdominalis (Jacoby, 1894) nec Baly, 1867; Tinosis leai nom. n. for T. fasciata (Lea, 1915) nec Weise, 1908b; (iv) new species synonymy, senior name first, in the original combination with present placement in square brackets if different: Aesernia [Promechus] australica Jacoby (= Aesernia bipunctata Weise syn. n., A. mjoebergi Weise syn. n.); Australica [Platymela] digglesi Baly (= Platymela mjoebergi Weise syn. n.); Australica [Paropsides] erudita Baly (= Paropsis complicata Blackburn syn. n.); Augomela [Paropsimorpha] elegans Baly (= Stethomela armiventris Lea syn. n.); Chalcolampra rufipes Jacoby (= Phyllocharis fulvifrons Jacoby syn. n.); Chrysomela [Gastrophysa] viridula Degeer (= Lamprolina unicolor Jacoby syn. n.); Eugastromela metasternalis Lea (= E. flavitarsis Lea syn. n.); Grammicomela quadrilineata Lea (= Stethomela rara Lea syn. n.); Micromela [Chalcomela] cupripennis Baly (= Stethomela purpureipennis Lea syn. n.); Notoclea [Chalcomela] splendens Macleay (= Chalcomela illudens Baly syn. n.); Oomela [Tinosis] bicolor Wilson (= Nannoda femoralis Weise syn. n.); Oomela trimaculata Lea (= Nannoda bimaculata Weise syn. n.); Oomela variabilis Lea (= Nannoda variabilis Weise syn. n.); Paropsis [Dicranosterna] circe Stål (= Paropsis pedestris Chapuis syn. n.); Paropsis [Peltoschema] delicatula Chapuis (= Peltoschema vestalis Daccordi & De Little syn. n.); Paropsis [Paropsisterna] semifumata Blackburn (= Xanthogramma pellucida Weise syn. n.); Chalcomela [Sphaerotritoma] nigripennis Baly (= Sphaerotritoma laeta Arrow syn. n.); (v) type species designations: Phyllocharis splendens Guérin-Méneville for Aesernia Stål, Chrysomela hypochalcea Germar for Augomela Baly, Chalcomela illudens Baly for Chalcomela Baly, Nannoda variabilis Weise for Nannoda Weise, Platymela sticticollis Baly for Platymela Baly, Promechus splendidus Boisduval for Promechus Boisduval, Stethomela submetallica Baly for Stethomela Baly;Phyllocharis wollumbina (Daccordi) comb. n.; Platymela bimaculiceps (Lea) comb. n., P. cephalotes (Lea) comb. n., P. digglesi (Baly) comb. n., P. flavescens (Blackburn) comb. n., P. flavida (Lea) comb. n., P. hasenpuschi (Daccordi) comb. n., P. maculiceps (Lea) comb. n., P. monochromatea (Lea) comb. n., P. quadripustulata (Baly) comb. n., P. transversa (Baly) comb. n.; Rhaebosterna interruptofasciata (Baly) comb. n.; Sphaerotritoma coccinelloides (Lea) comb. n., S. nigripennis (Baly) comb. n.; Tinosis bicolor (Wilson) comb. n.; Trachymela echo (Blackburn) comb. n.; (vii) lectotype designation for Oomela hieroglyphica Lea; (viii) recognition of two unavailable nomina nuda: subtribal name Calomelina Daccordi & De Little; generic name Gastromela Daccordi; (ix) listing of lapsus calami with their attempted identification.

A new genus of Bruchinae, Buburra Reid & Beatson, is erected for a single new species, B. jeanae Reid & Beatson. Buburra is endemic to Australia where it is known from a single site at high altitude in Victoria. The hostplant is unknown. Buburra is placed in the tribe Pachymerini. A key is provided for identification of the 12 genera of Bruchinae in Australia, including Caryotrypes Decelle, 1968, recorded from Australia for the first time. Five Australian species described in Bruchus Linneus, 1767, are newly transferred to Bruchidius Schilsky, 1905: Bruchidius diversipes (Lea, 1899) comb. nov.; B. maestus (Lea, 1899) comb. nov.; B. oodnadattae (Blackburn, 1900) comb. nov.; B. persimulans (Blackburn, 1900) comb. nov.; B. quornensis (Blackburn, 1900) comb. nov. A checklist is provided for the species of Bruchinae in Australia.

The Family

The oniscidean fauna of Australia is generally poorly known but recent sampling has revealed a new family, Paraplatyarthridae, found in both terrestrial and groundwater calcretes of central Western Australia. The family was initially described based on a new genus and species, Paraplatyarthrus subterraneus Javidkar and King, 2015. Here we describe an additional five Paraplatyarthrus species from the Yilgarn region of Western Australia, based on both morphological and molecular evidence (COI divergences). Four species are subterranean: P. crebesconiscus Javidkar and King sp. nov., P. cunyuensis Javidkar and King sp. nov., P. occidentoniscus Javidkar and King sp. nov., and P. pallidus Javidkar and King sp. nov., and one is a surface species, P. nahidae Javidkar and King sp. nov. A key to their identification is provided along with information on their distribution. In addition, type material of the two described Australian species of Platyarthridae, Trichorhina australiensis Wahrberg, 1922 from Western Australia and T. tropicalis Lewis, 1998 from Queensland, are examined. Morphological reassessment of type material shows T. australiensis belongs to Paraplatyarthrus (comb. nov.) and that T. tropicalis is correctly placed in Trichorhina, confirming that the genus and family Platyarthridae occur in Australia.

A New Species

A new genus and species of the subfamily Cossoninae, Omanocossonus sabulosus gen. et sp. nov. is described from Oman. All specimens including larvae were found on sand dunes on the seashore in roots of Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T. Aiton. The crucial features, including male and female terminalia, are illustrated, and the taxonomic position of the new genus within Cossoninae is briefly discussed. The generic status of Lindbergius Roudier, 1957 is resurrected. The mature larva of the new species is described, larval morphology is discussed and the current state of knowledge about immature stages of Cossoninae is summarized.

Twelve brachiopod taxa are described from the Early Devonian (probable early Emsian) Pa Samed Formation of southern Thailand, including the new genus and species Quasiprosserella samedensis (Ambocoeliidae?) and the new species Plectodonta forteyi, Caplinoplia thailandensis, and Clorinda wongwanichi. They are the first undoubted Devonian brachiopods from Thailand. They represent the deeper-water Benthic Assemblages BA4-5, and, although clearly indicative of the Old World Realm, cannot be assigned to a particular biogeographical region. A new undescribed fauna from the contemporary Zebingyi Formation of Burma (Myanmar) is also noted.

Basal Structure

Abstract. A very distinctive new deep-photic coccolithophore is described from the NE Indian Ocean. The new species is trimorphic with: 200–300 body coccoliths bearing low spines attached by narrow stems to a basal narrow-rimmed placolith structure; up to 18 circum-flagellar coccoliths with tall sail-like spines; and up to 22 coccoliths with moderately elevated spines occurring both around the circum-flagellar coccoliths and antapically. These features make the coccolithophore unique and require placement in a new species and genus. The basal structure, however, shows similarities to a recently recognized group of narrow-rimmed placoliths. Hence, the new coccolithophore provides some support for this grouping as a significant addition to our understanding of coccolithophore biodiversity, and potentially an explanation for a set of anomalous molecular genetic results. In addition the new taxon provides further evidence that the deep-photic coccolithophore community is more diverse than has been assumed.

AbstractThe 11 genera of Nearctic Braconini are keyed: two of them, Myosoma Brullé with a wide pantropical range and Alienoclypeus Shenefelt, new genus, are found chiefly in the Chihuahuan desert and shrub fauna of northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S.A. and are recorded as Nearctic for the first time. Four new species are described in Myosoma: eumystax, impexum, longius, and durango. R. D. Shenefelt describes a new genus and species, Alienoclypeus insolitus. The genus Atanycolimorpha Viereck, 1913 is synonymized with Ipobracon Thomson, 1892. The genus Coeloides is revised for the Nearctic Region; 12 species are described and illustrated. Five of these are new: mexicanus, durangensis, sympitys, tsugatorus, and sonora. One species, C. rossicus (Kokujev), is Holarctic, a new subspecies, betulae, is described from Canada. The following are new synonyms: C. rufovariegatus (Provancher) = (dendroctoni Cushman), C. vancouverensis (Dalla Torre) = (brunneri Viereck), C. crocator (Kirby) = (promontorii Dalla Torre).

Dental Ontogeny

An exceptionally well-preserved silicified bivalve from the Upper Permian of Texas is described and assigned to a new genus and species,Cassiavellia galtarae, placed in the family Bakevelliidae. The species represents one of the earliest and best characterized unequivocal occurrences of the multivincular ligament in the superfamily Pterioidea. The silicified material provides a wealth of information on the morphology of inadequately known Paleozoic pterioideans, including hitherto undescribed aspects of the larval shell, auricular sulcus, muscle scars, and dental ontogeny. The discovery of the condyle-fossa complex on the anteroventral shell margin, a feature previously undescibed in Bivalvia, raises the question of the homology and taxonomic significance of the problematic subumbonal ridge-like structures in Pterioidea. In life,C. galtaraewas probably an epifaunal right-pleurothetic bivalve, byssally attached to hard or raised flexible substrata. In addition toC. galtarae, another new species,C. nadkevnae, is placed inCassiavellia.
