A new species of the genus Maindronia Bouvier is described from a single female specimen collected in Iran. It appears close to M. mascatensis Bouvier but displays a distinct chaetotaxy compared to that illustrated by earlier authors. The morphology of the species is described in line with current standards including information on the notal trichobothria and the specialized sensilla of the antennae and palps.

The mantis shrimp superfamily Eurysquilloidea Manning, 1977, with the single family Eurysquillidae Manning, 1977, contains six genera and 32 species, the majority of which occur in the Indo-West Pacific. Here, we describe a new species of eurysquillid, Ankersquilla pardus, from the central and western Pacific that cannot be assigned to any recognized genera, and, accordingly, propose a new genus for its reception. Ankersquilla pardus is unique in Eurysquilloidea in bearing three teeth on the dactylus of the raptorial claw. Similar raptorial claw armature is otherwise known only in the Parasquilloidea and Pseudosquillidae (Gonodactyloidea). All other eurysquillloids have four or more teeth on the dactylus of the raptorial claw. The most unusual aspect of Ankersquilla pardus, however, is the finely spinose posterior abdomen and telson, which resembles members of the Coronididae (Lysiosquilloidea). Although superficially similar to some coronidid lysiosquilloids, the ovate maxilliped 3–4 propodi, ventrally arising intermediate and lateral denticles of the telson, and form of the male pleopod 1 endopod show Ankersquilla pardus to be a eurysquilloid.

This paper describes the faunal record from a late Holocene archaeological site located on the freshwater wetlands of the South Alligator River and compares it with that from the Adelaide River, in the Northern Territory. The information characterizes freshwater wetland resources and their use by Aboriginal people, providing a snapshot of life on the floodplains immediately prior to European contact. Although the two wetland systems appear similar, and extractive technology in the form of bone points is also similar, the faunal assemblages show that Aboriginal hunting strategies differed between the two areas. These differences can be explained by variations in regional topography and seasonality of site use.

Here we present a revision of the Australian species of Stephanopis. The type species S. altifrons is redescribed and S. aspera, S. depressa, S. monticola, S. elongata and S. scabra are considered its junior synonyms. Males of S. altifrons, S. angulata, S. nigra, S. armata, S. fissifrons and S. longimana are described for the first time. We propose neotypes for S. nigra and S. barbipes and describe the female of the latter. Nine species are considered species inquirendae, S. thomisoides as nomen dubium and S. cheesmanae is transferred to Phrynarachne. Seven new species are described, new distribution records are provided and comments are made about the validity of the genus and its relationship with Sidymella species and other Stephanopinae genera from the Australian region.

The existence of the Kaputar Rock Skink, a morphologically distinct Egernia population restricted to the Nandewar Ranges in northern New South Wales, has been known for decades. However, no comprehensive description or diagnosis of the taxon has been published in the scientific literature, and its distinctiveness largely assumed. As part of a study investigating the genetic differentiation of faunal populations on the Nandewar Range, comparisons between the Kaputar Rock Skink and east Australian Egernia striolata-group species were undertaken. The results indicate that the Kaputar Rock Skink is a distinct genetic lineage, showing species-level divergence from other Egernia species. Field studies suggest the Kaputar Rock Skink is restricted to an extremely narrow band of rock habitat above 1000 m or more in elevation, and only occupies retreat and sheltering sites near cliff edges or in areas of extensive outcropping rock. It now appears to be a cool-adapted species constrained to high elevation habitat by niche conservatism. Field studies suggest the availability of suitable habitat on the summit areas of the Nandewar Ranges is highly limited, making it vulnerable to several potentially threatening processes, including anthropogenic climate change. The name Contundo roomi was erected for the Kaputar Rock Skink by Wells & Wellington in 1985, and we recommend Egernia roomi (Wells & Wellington, 1985) as the name for the Kaputar Rock Skink.
Kaputar Rock Skink是一种形态独特的埃及种群，仅分布在新南威尔士州北部的Nandewar山脉，几十年来人们一直知道它的存在。然而，在科学文献中尚未发表对该分类群的全面描述或诊断，其独特性在很大程度上是假设的。作为调查南德瓦尔山脉动物种群遗传分化的研究的一部分，对卡普塔尔岩石石龙子和东澳大利亚埃及纹虫组物种进行了比较。结果表明，Kaputar Rock Skink是一个独特的遗传谱系，显示出与其他埃及物种的物种水平差异。实地研究表明，卡普塔尔岩石蜥蜴仅限于海拔1000米以上的岩石栖息地的极窄地带，并且只占据悬崖边缘或大量露头岩石区域的撤退和庇护场所。它现在似乎是一种适应寒冷的物种，受生态位保守性的限制，只能在高海拔的栖息地生存。实地研究表明，在南德瓦尔山脉的山顶地区，合适的栖息地非常有限，使其容易受到几个潜在威胁过程的影响，包括人为气候变化。Contundo roomi这个名字是1985年由Wells & Wellington为Kaputar Rock Skink命名的，我们推荐Egernia roomi (Wells & Wellington, 1985)作为Kaputar Rock Skink的名字。

Research into geographic variation in the agamid lizard Ctenophorus fordi supports a pattern of regional lineage diversity identified in earlier genetic studies, and provides new information on differences in morphology diagnostic of these lineages. One of the most genetically divergent and morphologically distinctive of these lineages is that consisting of populations from Triodia Mallee habitat of the red sandplains of inland southeast Australia. Populations from this region are the sister lineage to all other “C. fordi”, a suite of four genetically regionally discrete lineages distributed across the arid inland of southern Australia. They can be distinguished by a unique black “T” shaped chest pattern in adult males which, in combination with certain features of body proportions and scalation, diagnose the lineage from all other “C. fordi”. On the strength of these differences we describe populations belonging to this lineage as a new species, Ctenophorus spinodomus sp. nov. This new species is highly restricted in the habitat it occupies, and its ecology tied to a reliance on the presence of Triodia hummock grass groundcover (spinifex) for shelter, foraging and social interactions. It appears to be most abundant in areas of extensive and healthy Triodia that develop 20–50 years post-burn, and as a consequence too many or too few fires can both have negative impacts on the suitability of hummock grass groundcover for this species. Mallee habitat in southeast Australia is fragmented, and large fires in the smaller isolated areas of habitat could result in loss of suitable habitat for the species, resulting in localized extinction with no opportunity for recruitment. These factors in combination with ongoing loss of habitat place the remaining populations of C. spinodomus sp. nov. at a high level of vulnerability.

Helix porteri Cox, 1866 is the type species of Austrochloritis Pilsbry, 1891, a speciose genus of camaenid land snail with a known range in eastern Australia stretching from Wilson’s Promontory in Victoria to southeastern Queensland. This species was first described based on material from two locations in New South Wales, “Upper Clarence River at Guy Faux Station” and “Upper Richmond River, at Cowlong”. These two locations are about 230 km apart from each other while all type material is considered to be lost. Comparative morpho-anatomy of specimens collected in the proximity of both type localities shows that the original concept of Helix porteri is based on two distinct species. Here we designate a neotype for this species from the Upper Richmond River area and provide a detailed redescription in order to remove any ambiguity about the identity of Austrochloritis porteri. Material from the vicinity of the second site mentioned in the original description of H. porteri, Guy Fawkes Station, is identified as Austrochloritis speculoris Shea & Griffiths, 2010. We describe key diagnostic features distinguishing both species.

A stone quarry at Wadi el-Sheikh is recognized as an important source of flint in ancient Egypt. In 1896–1897 a substantial sample of stone artefacts, from fifteen separate workshops, was collected and placed in various museums across the world. This material remains virtually unknown, including two assemblages kept in Australia, which are analyzed in this study. It is evidenced that both workshops produced predominantly flint knives and a smaller number of cleavers for distribution away from the quarry, in an earlier part of the third millennium Before the Common Era (BCE) often referred to as the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150–2686 BCE) and Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE). There is a strong indication that the workshops represent a tiny portion of a large supply network. Two types of tools, a pick and a hoe, are recognized as digging implements associated with a quarry, but are also present on sites in Egypt where excavation took place.
Wadi el Sheikh的一个采石场被认为是古埃及燧石的重要来源。1896年至1897年，来自15个独立工作室的大量石器制品样本被收集并存放在世界各地的各个博物馆。这种材料实际上仍然未知，包括本研究中分析的保存在澳大利亚的两个组合。有证据表明，这两个作坊主要生产燧石刀和少量切肉刀，用于在采石场以外的地方分发，时间是公元前三个千年的早期，通常被称为早期王朝时期（约3150–2686年）和旧王国时期（约2686–2181年）。有强有力的迹象表明，这些车间只占大型供应网络的一小部分。有两种类型的工具，一种是镐和一种是锄，被认为是与采石场有关的挖掘工具，但在埃及的挖掘现场也有。

Two types of tools, a pick and a hoe, are recognized as digging implements associated with a quarry, but are also present on sites in Egypt where excavation took place.","PeriodicalId":54505,"journal":{"name":"Records of the Australian Museum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49610607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
