The discoveryof these new species allowed re-examination of the taxonomic position of two similar species, Storthyngura ? intermedia (Beddard, 1885) from the Northeastern Basin of the Pacific Ocean and Ilyarachna dejecta Menzies & George, 1972 from the Peru-Chile Trench, eastern Pacific Ocean. The species are moved to the genera Rectisura Malyutina, 2003 and Storthyngura Vanhoffen, 1914, respectively. Additional composition and distribution of the species of the genera are presented.

One new genus, Iranobates, and three new species are described: Iranobates hesabii, Arrenurus iranicus and A. kermanensis. The following species are reported for the first time for Iran: Limnesiapinguipalpis Cook, 1967, Atractides omanensis Smit & Pesic, 2010, Neumania indentata Smit & Pesic 2010, and N. maharashtris Cook, 1967.

Though the species are similar in general habit they can easily be recognized by external morphology (structure of the apophysis of male chelicerae) and male genital morphology (penial structure). For Nemastoma scabriculum Simon, 1879 sensu stricto a lectotype is designated. The synonymous Nemastoma ventalloi Mello-Leitao, 1936 is considered to be a distinct species and is re-described. The third species of the group is described as new, Centetostoma juberthiei sp. n. Though partly sympatric in their restricted Pyrenean area, the individual species are found to be small-scale allopatric; only twice have two species been found in syntopy in narrowly circumscribed localities. Centetostoma Kratochvil, 1958 is confined to presently comprise one Southwest Alpine and three Pyrenean species.
查看更多>>摘要：The taxonomic affinities of species assigned to Camptosaurus are reassessed in light of firsthand examination of the relevant specimens and a new phylogenetic analysis, the first to incorporate all putative species of Camptosaurus. "Camptosaurus" valdensis is found to be an indeterminate dryosaurid. The species C. prestwichii, C. aphanoecetes, and C. depressus differ in several important details from the type species, C. dispar, and are assigned to different genera as Cum-noria prestwichii, Uteodon aphanoecetes gen. et comb, no v., and Osmakasaurus depressus gen. et comb. nov. The recent assignment of O. depressus to the genus Planicoxa is considered unjustified.
