Seventeen new species, Pseudotremia loomisi, P. contorta, P. cerberus, P. pomarium, P. omdorffl, P. peponocranium, P. glaber, P. fergusoni, P. jaculohamatum, P. fremens, P. hubbardi, P.ryensis, P. piscator, P. culveri, P. salfodina, P. johnholsingeri and P. inexpectata are described, for a total Virginia fauna of 25 species. Additional species are predicted to occur.New locality records are given for seven previously described species, Pseudotremia alecto Shear 1972, P. hobbsi Hoffman 1950, P. sublevis Loomis 1944, P. tuberculata Loomis 1939, P. momusShear 1972, P. nodosa Loomis 1939, and P. valga Loomis 1943. Taxonomic characters useful in delimiting species of Pseudotremia are discussed.

This represents the seventh species of Enyalioides known to occur east of the Andes in South America; the othe^six species are E. cofanorum, E. laticeps,E. microlepis, E. palpebralis, E. praestabilis, and E. rubrigularis. Among other characters, the new species is distinguished from other Enyalioides by the combination of an orange, blotch on the antehumeral region (in adult males), 30 or fewer longitudinal rows of dorsals in a transverse line between dorsolateral crests at midbody, ventral scales strongly keeled, and caudal scales heterogeneous in size on each autotomic segment. The new species is most similar morphologically to E. cofanorum and E. microlepis.

    查看更多>>摘要：A new genus and species of brachyuran crab, Samarplax principe (family Hymenosomatidae) is described from an anchialine cave in Samar Island, Philippines. This cavernicolous species lacks rostrum and has degenerated eyes, possesses two small spines atthe lateral margin of the carapace, has a proportionally shorter projected merus of the third maxilliped, an almost flat epistome and brush-like setae instead of teeth along the cutting edges of the chelae. The complete loss of visual organs and pigmentation, the long but slender ambulatory legs and large egg size suggest a completely hypogeal lifestyle for this species. This is the first species of Hymenosomatidae recorded from an anchialine cave in the Philippines exhibiting true troglomorphic adaptations.

    New species of Acasta and Balanus (Balanoidea: Acastinae, Balaninae) from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) of the Aquitaine Basin, France

    查看更多>>摘要：Two new species of spiny barnacles (Balanoidea: Acastinae, Balaninae) are described from the lower Burdigalian (Early Miocene) of the Aquitaine Basin, southwest France. The first, Acasta martillacensis sp. nov., from Martillac, is characterised by a shell with internal longitudinal ribs, a cellular space between the sheath and wall, a carinal sheath which adheres to the wall in the centre of its basal edge, a cup-shaped basis and a scutum with radial striae externally and a less than prominent adductor ridge internally. The second, Balanus aculeatus sp. nov., from Saucats (Le Peloua), has paries exteriorly with strong, tubular spines. An overview of outcrops of Burdigalian strata in the area, within a palaeogeographic context, is added.
