Abstract The first fossil lace bug (Tingidae) from New Zealand is described from the earliest Miocene Foulden Maar Fossil-Lagerstätte in Otago. The single specimen, observable in ventral position in finely laminated lacustrine diatomite, belongs to Tingidae based on the areolate (lace-like) paranotum and hemelytra and the presence of sternal laminae. The incomplete preservation does not allow for a definite identification of the genus, and the fossil is provisionally identified as Tingidae gen. et sp. indet. This new record adds the family Tingidae to the Miocene Heteroptera fauna of New Zealand and the Australasian region.

摘要在新西兰奥塔哥最早中新世的Foulden Maar Fossil-Lagerstätte发现了首例蕾丝虫化石(Tingidae)。在湖相硅藻土的腹侧位置观察到的单个标本,根据其乳形(网状)偏角和半腹以及胸骨片的存在,属于刺藻科。由于保存不完整,不能确定其属,故该化石暂时被鉴定为Tingidae gen. et sp. indet。这一新记录为新西兰和澳大拉西亚地区中新世异翅目动物群增加了亭甲科。Uwe Kaulfuss [uwe.kaulfuss@uni-goettingen.de],动物进化与生物多样性学系,德国Göttingen大学,unterere karsp 2,37073 Göttingen,德国Ernst Heiss [aradus@aon.at], tiroller Landesmuseum, Josef-Schraffl-Strasse 2a, A-6020 Innsbruck,奥地利。

Abstract Elements of a high-latitude (∼60–70°S) and low-diversity early Kungurian (Cisuralian/Early Permian) brachiopod fauna have been sporadically reported from the sandstone-dominated Snapper Point Formation (SPF) in the southern Sydney Basin of southeastern Australia for more than a half-century, but a detailed description of this fauna is not yet available. In this paper we describe 12 brachiopod species and an indeterminate ingelarellid from the SPF, including one new species (Tasmanospirifer jervisbayensis sp. nov. Waterhouse & Lee). Though this brachiopod fauna is evidently associated with an interglacial stratigraphic interval, its taxonomic characteristics overall resemble those from stratigraphically bounding glacial intervals. This association is interpreted to indicate persistence and the strong endemic nature of the Permian Eastern Australian biogeographic province in high-latitude eastern Gondwana, regardless of glacial/interglacial climate states during the Cisuralian. Biostratigraphically, the SPF brachiopod fauna is divisible into two distinctive stratigraphic assemblages: the Notospirifer cf. triplicata–Simplicisulcus sp. Assemblage in the lower part of the formation and the Johndearia brevis–Sulciplica transversa Assemblage in the upper part, each distinguished by a set of unique species.

半个多世纪以来,在澳大利亚东南部悉尼盆地南部以砂岩为主的鲷点组(Snapper Point Formation, SPF)中,零星报道了高纬度(~ 60-70°S)和低多样性的早昆古里亚(中晚二叠世/早二叠世)腕足动物区系的元素,但尚未得到详细的描述。本文描述了SPF中12种腕足动物和1种不确定的ingelarellid,包括1个新种(Tasmanospirifer jervisbayensis sp. 11 . Waterhouse & Lee)。虽然该腕足动物群明显与间冰期地层有关,但其分类特征总体上与地层学上的冰期界线相似。这种联系被解释为表明,无论在西苏拉纪的冰川/间冰期气候状态如何,在高纬度冈瓦纳东部的二叠纪东澳大利亚生物地理省的持久性和强烈的地方性。在生物地层学上,SPF腕足动物群可划分为两个独特的地层组合:位于地层下部的Notospirifer . cftriplicata - simplicisulcus sp.组合和位于地层上部的Johndearia brevis-Sulciplica transversa组合,每个组合都有一组独特的物种。李sangmin Lee [sangminlee76@gmail.com], Shi G.

Abstract Parachoristidae, one of the most characteristic mecopteran families of the late Permian and Triassic, is widely distributed throughout the world, but only one species has been described from China thus far. Two new genera and three new species of Parachoristidae are here described and illustrated from the late Middle Triassic Tongchuan entomofauna: Sinoparachorista rara gen. et sp. nov., Virgulaparachorista tongchuanensis gen. et sp. nov., and V. elegans gen. et sp. nov. These two new genera can be placed in Parachoristidae unambiguously based on the presence of a two-branched Sc with rounded fork, pectinate Rs, M with at least six branches, and M2 with two branches. The new discovery enriches the palaeodiversity of parachoristids in the Triassic of China and considerably expands the known morphological disparity of wing venation in Parachoristidae.

Abstract A review of the Southern Hemisphere Mesozoic tribosphenic mammal fossil record supports the hypothesis that Tribosphenida arose in the Southern Hemisphere during the Early Jurassic, around 50 million years prior to the clade’s reliably dated first appearance in the Northern Hemisphere. Mesozoic Southern Hemisphere tribosphenic mammals are known from Australia, Madagascar, South America and the Indian subcontinent, and are classified into three families: Bishopidae (fam. nov.), Ausktribosphenidae and Henosferidae. These are stem therians, and considerable morphological evolution occurred within the lineage between the Jurassic and late Early Cretaceous. Important dental modifications include a graduated transition between premolars and molars, development of molar wear facets V and VI, loss of facets for postdentary bones, reduction in the Meckelian groove and development of a true dentary angle. Previous classifications of Southern Hemisphere tribosphenic mammals are ambiguous because information from the upper dentition has been lacking. Upper molars attributed to the late Early Cretaceous (Albian) Southern Hemisphere group Bishopidae fam. nov. are now known to possess a prominent protocone and stylar cusp C. We thus consider bishopids to be the sister group to Theria. Timothy F. Flannery [tim.flannery@textpublishing.com.au], Kristofer M.

摘要对南半球中生代摩擦圈哺乳动物化石记录的回顾支持了这样的假设:早侏罗纪时期,摩擦圈动物在南半球出现,比该分支在北半球首次出现的可靠日期早了约5000万年。中生代南半球的摩擦生哺乳动物分布于澳大利亚、马达加斯加、南美洲和印度次大陆,分为三科:11月)、狐猴科和狐猴科。这些是干兽,在侏罗纪和早白垩纪晚期之间的谱系中发生了相当大的形态进化。重要的牙齿改良包括前磨牙和磨牙之间的渐变过渡,磨牙磨损面V和磨牙磨损面VI的发展,后牙骨的磨牙面缺失,梅克尔氏沟的减少和真正牙牙角度的发展。由于缺乏来自上齿列的信息,以往南半球摩擦性哺乳动物的分类是模糊的。上臼齿属于早白垩世晚期(阿尔巴尼亚)南半球的双齿齿科。11 .现在已知有一个突出的原锥和花柱尖C.因此我们认为双峰星是Theria的姐妹群。Timothy F.

Abstract The uppermost Miocene Bookpurnong Formation within the Murray Basin of southeastern Australia overlies a regionally extensive subaerial unconformity formed by relatively low late Miocene eustatic sea levels, and the initial phase of the Kosciuszko Uplift tectonic event. A diverse marine fossil ostracod fauna has been recovered from the Bookpurnong Formation, and is associated with a marine transgression that flooded inland regions of southeastern Australia to form a shallow epicontinental sea. Many of the Bookpurnong Formation ostracods represent immigrant taxa, with species such as Puriana lubbockiana, evidencing a subtropical range expansion of thermophilic warm water forms into southern mid-latitudes. We attribute this to warm plumes from the East Australian Current, which would have impacted southeastern Australia at that time. In general, the Bookpurnong Formation ostracod assemblages indicate low to moderate energy shallow offshore palaeoenvironments subject to warm-temperate and subtropical conditions. One new genus and five new species are described: Fortistriginglymus gen. nov., Bradyleberis praecristatella sp. nov., Callistocythere bookpurnongensis sp. nov., Callistocythere mchenryi sp. nov., Callistocythere zigzaga sp. nov., and Parakeijia notoreticularis sp. nov.

Abstract Cinctiporidae is a family of cyclostome bryozoans that ranged from the Paleocene to Recent; however, they also include a questionable record from the Upper Cretaceous of South Africa. Most cinctiporids occur in the Paleocene to Pleistocene strata of New Zealand and the Chatham Islands, with only two living species now found in New Zealand. This study confirms the presence of cinctiporid bryozoans in South America with the description of a new fossil species, Attinopora atlantica sp. nov., based on specimens found in early Miocene deposits of the Monte León Formation, along the Atlantic margin of Argentine Patagonia. Attinopora atlantica sp. nov. differs from the other known species of Attinopora in having a much higher number of zooids per annular ring. The presence of cinctiporids in the early Miocene of Patagonia supports hypothesized biogeographical links between South America and Australasia during the early Neogene.

Abstract Mesozoic mammals from the polar regions of Australian Gondwana are exceptionally rare. The recovery of a partial jaw attributable to the australosphenid Ausktribosphenos nyktos from a new locality along the Bass Coast of Victoria is, therefore, significant because it comes from an uppermost Barremian to lowermost Aptian grit with abundant plant material that differs lithologically from other previously productive laminated sandstone deposits. We interpret this as evidence for a floodplain habitat that was distant from local water bodies. The identification of a new Cretaceous mammal locality in Australia highlights the exciting prospects for future fossil discoveries. Thomas H.

Abstract The ‘Illaenus’ band of the Costerfield Siltstone in the Costerfield-Heathcote area contains pockets of Silurian (lower Wenlock) deposits that contain a rich invertebrate fauna. Several assemblages from the ‘Illaenus’ band have been described and include ostracod species referable to 13 genera. These specimens were housed at the Australian Government Bureau of Mineral Resources in Canberra, which was damaged by fire in 1953. Of the documented ostracod specimens, only three remain, but are in a degraded state. We reinterpret this historically important material as representing the types of Ctenobolbina proxima and Kayatia prima. Tamara T.A. Camilleri [tamara.camilleri@deakin.edu.au] and Mark T.

Costerfield- heathcote地区Costerfield粉砂岩的Illaenus带包含志留系(Wenlock下)沉积物,其中含有丰富的无脊椎动物。“Illaenus”带的几个组合已被描述,其中包括可参考的13属介形虫种。这些标本保存在堪培拉的澳大利亚政府矿产资源局,1953年被大火烧毁。在记录在案的介形类标本中,仅存三种,但处于退化状态。我们将这一具有重要历史意义的材料重新解释为比邻Ctenobolbina和原始Kayatia的代表。Tamara T.A.

Abstract A monolete spore from the upper Permian Raniganj Formation strata of the Madhukunda area in the Damodar Basin is described as Ghoshiasporites manjuae sp. nov. It is laevigate proximally but has a variable densely apiculate ornamentation distally, prompting its classification in the Subinfraturma Varimonoleti and Infraturma Sculptatomonoleti. The diagnostic features of the new species include a characteristic labrum associated with the monolete aperture and the presence of four types of densely placed projections on the distal surface: coni, spines, bacula and clavae. These states clearly distinguish Ghoshiasporites manjuae from Ghoshiasporites didecus, the only other varimonolete spore previously recorded from the Permian strata of India.

摘要:Damodar盆地Madhukunda地区上二叠统Raniganj组地层中发现的单孢子为Ghoshiasporites manjuae sp. nov.。该孢子近端呈浅沟状,但远端有可变的密尖状纹饰,可分为Subinfraturma Varimonoleti和Infraturma Sculptatomonoleti。新种的诊断特征包括一个与单孔孔相关的特征性唇状突起,以及在远端表面存在四种密集放置的突起:圆锥、棘、杆状和棍状。这些状态清楚地将Ghoshiasporites manjuae与Ghoshiasporites didecus区分开来,Ghoshiasporites didecus是之前在印度二叠纪地层中记录的唯一其他变单孢子。Ashalata D 'Rozario [ashalatandc@gmail.com],加尔各答大学植物系高级研究中心,印度加尔各答700019;印度加尔各答70025 Sarat Bose路72号南加尔各答女子学院Ahinsuk Barua [dr.ahinsukbarua@gmail.com];Subir Bera [berasubir@yahoo.co.in],加尔各答大学植物系高级研究中心,印度加尔各答700019巴利贡格环路35号

Abstract Koreatriassothemis elongatus gen. et sp. nov. is the first representative of the odonatan superfamily Triassolestoidea described from the Upper Triassic of the Republic of Korea. Despite close similarities with the genera Pseudotriassothemis and Triassoneura, exact affinities within Triassolestoidea remain uncertain, thus discoveries of more complete triassolestoid fossils are required to resolve relationships. The identification of K. elongatus gen. et sp. nov. shows that Odonatoptera and Triassolestoidea diversity was high during the Late Triassic and is currently underestimated. A ‘Samarura-like’ odonatopteran nymph is also identified from the same Upper Triassic outcrop, and may be referable to K. elongatus gen. et sp. nov.

摘要Koreatriassothemis elongatus gen. et sp. 11 .是大韩民国上三叠统齿龙超科triasolestoidea的第一个代表。尽管与Pseudotriassothemis属和triasoneura属非常相似,但在triasolesto总科内的确切亲缘关系仍然不确定,因此需要发现更完整的triasolestoid化石来解决关系。对K. elongatus gen. et sp. 11 .的鉴定表明,在晚三叠世,齿翅目和三叠纪总科的多样性很高,目前被低估了。在同一上三叠纪露头中也发现了一种“samarula -like”的翼龙雌虫,可能与K. elongatus . et sp. nov. andr Nel [anel@mnhn.fr], Institut de system sammatique, Évolution, biodiversest (ISYEB), musum national d ' histoire naturelle, CNRS,索邦大学,EPHE,安的列斯大学,CP50, 57 rue Cuvier, F-75005 Paris, France;南基洙[nks33@naver.com]公州教育大学,忠清南道公州32553;Corentin Jouault [jouaultc0@gmail.com],系统遗传遗传研究所,Évolution,生物多样性研究所(ISYEB),国家自然历史研究所,CNRS,索邦大学,EPHE,安的列斯大学,CP50,居维叶街57号,F-75005,巴黎,法国,雷恩,CNRS,雷恩遗传遗传遗传研究所,UMR 6118, F-35000,雷恩,法国,和CNRS, UMR 5554,蒙彼利埃,Évolution蒙彼利埃科学研究所,eug Bataillon广场,F-34095,法国,蒙彼利埃。
