The genus Kathistes is described to accomodate two new species, K. calyculata and K. analemmoides, and an existing one based on Pyxidiophora fimbriata Barrasa & Moreno. All three species are coprophilous and produce transversely septate ascospores in long-necked perithecia. Ascospore germination occurs by the production of budding yeast cells. Sporelike bodies, termed sporidiolae, are produced in spherical structures resembling the perithecia called sporidiomata. Similar genera and species are discussed and contrasted by a dichotomous key. Kathistes species do not appear to be closely related to other ascomycetes and are assigned to a new family Kathistaceae.

The infraorder Thalassinidea Latreille, 1831 [sensu stricto] includes three families: Thalassinidae Latreille, 1831; Upogebiidae Borradaile, 1903; and Laomediidae De Haan, 1849 (cf. Sakai & Sawada, 2006). However, recent examination of material from Kuwait in the Pershian Gulf, showed the occurence of a new species,Kuwaitupogebia nithyanandangen. et sp. nov., and this has made it possible to establish a new family, Kuwaitupogebiidae fam. nov., based on that new genus. The genusUpogebiaLeach, 1814 is known to include nine species from the Red Sea area, yet herein two new species,Upogebiaspongicolasp. nov. from the Reef at Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt, andUpogebia jizanensissp. nov. from off Jizan, Saudi Arabia, Red Sea, can be added, based on material lodged in the collections of the museum in Frankfurt a. M.

ABSTRACT Fedorowski, J. and Kullmann, J. 2013. Vojnovskytesidae - a new family of Mississippian Rugosa (Anthozoa). Acta Geologica Polonica, 63(4), 657-679. Warszawa. Two new species of the genus Vojnovskytes Fedorowski, 2009, namely V. marcinowskii and V. arcuatus, and a new genus, Vojnimitor, based on the new species V. proiectus, all from Mississippian strata of northern Spain, are described. Vojnovskytes variabilis (Vojnovsky-Krieger, 1934), the type species for the genus from the lowermost Visean strata of southern Urals, also is discussed and illustrated. Characters displayed by the taxa mentioned permit introduction of a new family Vojnovskytesidae.


Acid preparation of fishes from the English Chalk allows very detailed descriptions to be prepared. The acanthopterygians of the English Chalk are redescribed, and members of all the genera known by more than one specimen are treated at length. The English Chalk genera of Ctenothrissiformes, a group confined to the Cenomanian and Lower Turonian, are also described in detail, since this group is often cited as possibly ancestral to the acanthopterygians. The acanthopterygians and Ctenothrissiformes of all other Mesozoic deposits are more briefly described. The main systematic conclusions are as follows. A new order Ctenothrissiformes is made, to replace the Bathyclupeiformes, since Bathyclupea is a percoid. Within the Ctenothrissiformes, a new family Aulolepidae is made to contain Aulolepis and Pateroperca (the latter was formerly thought to be a percoid). The order Berycifbrmes is divided into three new sub-orders, Polymixioidei, Dinopterygoidei and Berycoidei. The Polymixioidei contains two families, the Polymixiidae, ranging from the Cenomanian to the present, and a new monotypic family Sphenocephalidae, confined to the Upper Senonian. The family Berycopsidae is rejected, and Berycopsis is placed in the Polymixiidae. Platycormus is shown to be a synonym of Berycopsis. The Dinopterygoidei contains the Upper Senonian Dinopterygidae and three new monotypic families, the Aipichthyidae, Pharmacichthyidae and Pycnosteroididae, all of which are confined to the Cenomanian. The Berycoidei contains eleven families, all with living representatives, of which only the Trachichthyidae and Holocentridae are present in the Mesozoic. A new genus of Trachichthyidae, Tubantia, from the Upper Senonian of Westphalia, is made. The genus Hoplopteryx, previously placed in the Berycidae, is shown to be a trachichthyid, and two new species of H. macranthus and H. gephyrognathus, both from the English Chalk, are described. Among the Perciformes, a new genus of Serranidae, Proseanu, is made for a species from the Danian of Sweden, and Bathysoma, from the same horizon and locality, is shown to be a member of the Menidae. The genus previously thought to be a percoid, is shown to be a member of the Tselfatiidae (Beloniformes). It is suggested that Protiacnhus, previously placed in the perciform sub-order Balistoidei, may be related to the Aulostomiformes.

A new genus and species, Unguitarsonemus paradoxus n. gen., n. sp. and a new species, Pseudotarsonemoides peruviensis n. sp. (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tarsonemidae), are described based on phoretic females collected on bark beetles Phloeotribus pilula and Ph. biguttatus, respectively, from Peru. A key to species of the genus Pseudotarsonemoides is provided.

Namaquaropus niger gen nov. & sp.nov. is described from South Africa. In addition, two new species of the subgenus Jehania Distant of Isometopus Fieber (I. mirus sp. nov. and I. maculipennis sp. nov.), and Paloniella flavicolor sp. nov. are described. With these, the known species of Isometopinae in South Africa now number sixteen.

This paper deals with the systematics of all known Australian Mecoptera. Two new species are described: Austrobittocw anomalus (Austrobittacus is a new genus) and Harpobittacus phaeoscius; and three new subspecies: Harpobittacus australis rubripes, H. tillyardi albatus, and H. t. rubricatus.
