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 Family

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).

The Family

Cissus Linnaeus (1753: 117) is the most speciose genus in the family Vitaceae and notable for its pantropical intercontinental disjunct pattern (Liu et al. 2013). According to the recent estimate, the genus is known to have 291 accepted species (POWO 2020) and it is widely distributed in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and South America and Mexico (Wen 2007). The main characters delimiting Cissus from other Vitaceae genera are the well-developed, thick and undivided floral disks, tetramerous flowers, one-seeded berries, and seeds with a long and linear chalaza (Wen 2007). In South America, Cissus is represented by 64 species (Lombardi 2000, 2007, Rodrigues et al. 2014). Amongst C. ulmifolia (Baker 1871: 213) Planchon (1887: 552) that is a later homonym of an Italian fossil taxon Cissus ulmifolia Massalongo (1858: 80). While checking the literature and relevant websites for the availability of any synonyms, we found that C. allenii Croat (1977: 358) and C. serrulatifolia Williams (1962: 375) are listed as heterotypic synonyms of C. ulmifolia in Tropicos (2020) following Nelson (2010). However, C. allenii was synonymized under C. serrulatifolia by most of the workers (Govaerts 1999, Lombardi 2007, Morales 2015, POWO 2020, Raz & Zamora 2020) but C. ulmifolia was treated as a distinct species. So in order to ascertain the taxonomic status, we critically studied the protologues and digital specimens including types of these three species, we found that the characters of C. allenii are well within the range of C. serrulatifolia but C. ulmifolia differs from them by its 4-sided, distinctly winged stem (vs. stem terete, not winged or wingless in C. serrulatifolia) and the fruits ovoid or ovoid–subglobose, smooth (vs. obovoid or subpyriform, lenticellate in C. serrulatifolia). Since no other validly published legitimate name is available for this species (Lombardi 2007, Mota de Oliveira & Jansen-Jacobs 2016, POWO 2020), therefore, the authors propose Cissus lombardiana as a replacement name.

Nomen Novum

Abstract. Kozur et al. (1996) reported and described some well-preserved Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian) Radiolaria from central Nevada and established several new taxa, among them a new genus Noblella, assigned to the Family Protoentactiniidae Kozur, Mostler &amp; Repetski, 1996. Dr J. K. Page kindly informed us that the genus Noblella already was established for an amphibian genus, Family Brachycephalidae, type species N. peruviana (Noble), byBarbour (1930; p. 81). Therefore, the genus name Noblella Kozur, Mostler &amp; Repetski, 1996 non! Noblella Barbour, 1930, is invalid because of homonymy. We here replace this junior homonym with Paulanoblella Kozur &amp; Repetski, nomen novum.Genus Paulanoblella Kozur &amp; Repetski, nomen novumDerivation. The new name is in honour of noted Radiolaria researcher, Dr Paula Noble, Reno, Nevada.Diagnosis. Unchanged (see Kozur et al., 1996, pp. 255, 266).Holotype. Unchanged (see Kozur et al., 1996, pp. 255, 266).

Campanula Linnaeus (1753: 163) comprises about 420 species of the family Campanulaceae, which are distributed throughout the Arctic and North temperate regions (Lammers 2007a; Hong 2015). Campanula chinensis Hong (1980: 247) was described from Xizang and Yunnan, China. It was recognized by all recently published floras (Hong et al. 1983; Hong & Lian 1985; Huang 1991; Hong & Ma 1994; Li et al. 2000; Lammers 2007b; Hong et al. 2011; Hong 2015). It had not been noticed in the all recently published literature that a similar name, C. sinensis (Candolle 1830: 354) Dietrich (1839: 755), has been published in the genus. Example 11 under Art. 53.3 of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012) makes it quite clear that “chinensis” and “sinensis” must be treated as homonyms; thus the name C. chinensis D.Y. Hong is a later illegitimate homonym, for which a new name is proposed here.

Two only partially known species of the family Gammaridae (Crustacea Amphipoda), Gammarus werneri (S. Karaman 1934) and Gammarus paraorientalis G. Kar. (new comb.) are treated. Rivulogammarus kesslerianus werneri ssp. n. has been shortly described by S. Karaman (1934) from Iznik (Asia Minor, NE Turkey) and later considered synonym of Gammarus balcanicus Schäferna 1922 (G. Karaman, 2003).Based on detailed study of holotype and one more recent sample of the same species from Iznik, this species is redescribed, figured and elevated to the species rank, Gammarus werneri (S. Karaman, 1934), belonging to Gammarus balcanicus Complex,Rivulogammarus balcanicus orientalis ssp. n. has been described by S. Karaman (1934) from Derbend [eastern site of Erdschias- dag (=Erciyas-dagi), Asia Minor (Turkey)]. Recently this species was redescribed and figured as distinct species, Gammarus orientalis (S. Karaman, 1934) from type locality and adjacent localities (G. Karaman, 2017). The new study showed that the name Gammarus orientalis is “nomen preoccupatum”, because the species under the same name has been described by Dana (1852) from Sundai, and new name for G. orientalis from Iznik is proposed, Gammarus paraorientalis G. Kar. (new name).
