Two New Species

Crosby and Bishop (1925) published a comprehensive revision of the New World genus Ceraticelus, and from time to time other species have been described as they appeared. The following descriptions of two additional species were based upon specimens in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. All type material was deposited in that institution.

AbstractEight species of Epidamaeus of arctic western North America and extreme northeast, U.S.S.R. are discussed. Two new species, Epidamaeus hammerae and E. tritylos, are proposed and E. arcticolus, E. kodiakensis, E. mackenziensis, E. bakeri, E. coxalis and E. fortispinosus, previously described by Hammer, are redescribed.

Echinus gyracanthus Eaton, 1832, was the first tentaculitid reported from North America, but the original description and illustration are vague by present-day standards. Study of the type material and topotypes from the Lower Devonian Manlius Limestone in the Town of Schoharie, New York, suggests that Tentaculites gyracanthus (Eaton) is a discrete species, but one with pronounced and remarkable intraspecific variability. Tentaculites simmondsi new species also occurs in the same unit and locality.

Two new species of leptanthurid isopods in the genus Accalathura are described: A. schotteae, from collections off Panama and A. kensleyi from Belize (material previously identified as A. crenulata in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History, Washington D.C.). The type species of the genus, Calathura crenulata Richardson, 1901, is redescribed from type material and a key to the species of Accalathura in the Caribbean and an adjacent region is given.

Distinct Taxon

Exceptionally well preserved Lower Triassic conodonts from Oman include an array ofNeospathodusspecies, many of which are new. Those from the upper Lower Triassic, or Spathian, are described in conjunction with a restudy of conodont type material from Chios, Greece, and an assessment of contemporary collections from Pakistan and western North America. The taxonomic scope of three key species from Chios,Neospathodus homeri, N. triangularis, andN. gondolelloides, is revised. Seven new species are described from Oman:N. abruptus, N. brevissimus, N. brochus, N. crassatus, N. curtatus, N. pusillus, andN. symmetricus;and one new species,N. clinatus, is described from Pakistan. The alliedIcriospathodus collinsoniis also described from Oman. The occurrence and range ofNeospathodusspecies are presented in the context of the ammonoid succession in the Spathian of North America. BothN. homeriandN. triangularis, as revised, have shorter ranges and are more age diagnostic than previously thought.Neospathodus gondolelloidesis a distinct taxon, and not synonymous withChiosella timorensis.Five informal faunal divisions are identified based onNeospathodusand allied species. In ascending stratigraphic order, these are typified byIcriospathodus collinsoni, Neospathodus homeri, N. triangularis, N. symmetricus, andN. gondolelloides.Oman collections represent three of these faunas, which occur also in theColumbitesthroughProhungarites/Subcolumbitesammonoid beds of western U.S.A.

Middle Member

Two new species of worm tubes referable to the genus Onuphionella occur in Lower Cambrian strata in eastern California and western Nevada. Onuphionella durhami n. sp. is found in the Campito Formation (in pre-trilobite strata, in the Fallotaspis and, possibly, the Nevadella Zones) and O. claytonensis n. sp. occurs in the Middle Member of the Poleta Formation (Nevadella Zone). The unusual tubes are armored with an imbricated coat of mica flakes, reminiscent of the modern genus Owenia. The lowest occurrence of Onuphionella in western North America corresponds closely with the lowest occurrence of the genus in the Baltic region, indicating that correlations between the two regions are not greatly in error.

AbstractAlastriagen. nov. is described, and Callierges tropicalis Schaus is transferred to the genus. Alastria chicosp. nov. is described from western North America and Alastria machosp. nov. is described from Costa Rica. We provide illustrations of the adults and genitalia of all three species, as well as the male genitalia of two related genera, Nedra Clarke and Actinotia Hübner.

Biogeographic Analysis

AbstractThe genus Eudasyphora Townsend 1911 is resurrected from junior synonymy and recognized with the genera Dasyphora Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 and Pyrellia Robineau-Desvoidy 1830. Rypellia Malloch 1932 is a subgenus of Eudasyphora, but Dasypyrellia Lobanov 1976 is reported as synonym novum. A key to the species of Eudasyphora is presented. Two new species are described: E. cordilleriana n. sp. from western North America, and E. canadiana n. sp. from northern North America. The phylogenetic and biogeographic analysis led to the following conclusions: Eudasyphora became separated from its sister genus Pyrellia before the beginning of the Pleistocene glaciations. The Rypellia line evolved further in the Oriental Region, whereas the Eudasyphora s. str. line developed in the Holarctic Region. Speciation in both subgenera is correlated with the history of the forest vegetation during the Pleistocene.
