New Synonymy

Metapocyrtus (Orthocyrtus) orbiferoides Schultze, 1918 was described based on the female holotype collected from Ilocos Norte, North Luzon, Philippines. Since that time, it has been left unstudied for almost a century until I examined the holotype of M. (O.) orbiferoides in 2010 at Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen, Museum für Tierkunde, Dresden (SMTD). Recently, Barševskis (2016) described Macrocyrtus imomzodai based on two female specimens from Ilocos Norte, Luzon. Judging from the original description and dorsal and lateral habitus images, it is quite apparent that M. imomzodai is conspecific with M. (O.) orbiferoides. Here I propose a new synonymy based on these examinations. I thank Klaus-Dieter Klass, Olaf Jäger, Christian Schmidt, and Matthias Nuss (SMTD) for their support during my stay in Dresden. My thanks are also due to Steve R. Davis (American Natural History Museum, New York) and Naoko Nakahara (Tsukuba) for their help for preparing the manuscript.

ABSTRACT: In spite of his many other interests, Edward Heron-Allen also worked for nearly 50 years as a scientist on minute shelled protists, called foraminifera, much of it in an unpaid, unofficial capacity at The Natural History Museum, London, and notably in collaboration with Arthur Earland. During this career he published more than 70 papers and obtained several fellowships, culminating in 1919 in his election to the Royal Society. Subsequently, he bequeathed his foraminiferal collections and fine library to the Museum, and both are housed today in a room named in his honour. In this paper, for the first time, an assessment of his scientific accomplishments is given, together with a full annotated bibliography of his publications held in the Heron-Allen Library. This is part of a project to produce a bibliography of his complete publications, recently initiated by the Heron-Allen Society.
