Two genera of Dicrepidiina, Paranoplischius gen. nov. and Paratractosomus gen. nov., and three species, Paranoplischius modestus sp. nov., P. nigellus sp. nov. and Paratractosomus sulciventris sp. nov., from South America, are described and illustrated. A provisional key to the genera of Dicrepidiina is also included.

Two new genera of wolf spiders belonging to Pardosinae, Gulocosa gen. n. and Melecosa gen. n., are erected to accommodate Gulocosa eskovi sp. n. (♂ ♀, Khabarovsk Province, Russia) and Sibirocosa alpina Marusik, Azarkina & Koponen, 2004, respectively. A new combination was also established: Melecosa alpina (Marusik, Azarkina & Koponen, 2004) comb. n. (ex. Sibirocosa). Polytomous and dichotomous ...

Gordonia jacobaea strain MV-1 is characterized by its ability to synthesize carotenoids (de Miguel et al., 2000). This bacterium belongs to the broad and diverse group of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes, known as the mycolata group. Mycolata contains microorganisms of industrial interest such as Corynebacterium glutamicum, as well as others of clinical relevance such as Mycobacterium tube...

The species of the genus Odilia Durette-Desset, 1973 (Heligmonellidae, Nippostrongylinae) are re-distributed among eight genera of which five are new. This classification is mainly based on certain characters of the synlophe not previously taken into account at the supraspecific level. These characters mainly include the presence or absence of a careen, the relative size of the ridges forming t...

A haramiyid tooth is described from the Upper Jurassic of Tendaguru in southwestern Tanzania, East Africa. The specimen, identified tentatively as a lower posterior premolar, is made the holotype of a new taxon, Staffia aenigmatica gen . e t sp. nov. which is placed in the Haramiyida . Staffa gen . nov. shares several features with Thomasia from the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic of Europe, no...

The upper Eocene Youganwo Formation in Maoming Province, Guangdong Province, China, produced abundant remains of turtles and crocodiles, but mammalian remains are rare. The previously found mammals from Youganwo Formation include a nimravid carnivore and an amynodontid perissodactyl. Here we report on a new brontotheriid perissodactyl from the Youganwo Formation. Maobrontops paganus gen. et sp....

We describe two new species of spherical single-chambered ('saccamminid') foraminifera from the bathyal and abyssal Weddell Sea (Southern Ocean), collected in epibenthic sledge and Agassiz trawl samples obtained during the 2005 ANDEEP III campaign. Both are assigned to Leptammina gen. nov. The new genus is similar in overall test morphology to Saccammina Carpenter, 1869; it is distinguished mai...

The 16S rRNA gene sequences of 34 named and unnamed clostridial strains were determined by PCR direct sequencing and were compared with more than 80 previously determined clostridial sequences and the previously published sequences of representative species of other low- G + C-content gram-positive genera, thereby providing an almost complete picture of the genealogical interrelationships of th...
