The Genus Spiniferites Mantell, 1850 (Dinophyceae)

Abstract: Following the recent official rejection of proposals for conservation of the generic name Hystrichosphaera, the diagnosis of its senior synonym Spiniferites is expanded in order to incorporate additional information gained since 1850 and all species according with the expanded diagnosis are listed (24 species are transferred to Spiniferites). The cyst-family name “Hystrichosphaeraceae” is replaced by the new name “Spiniferitaceae”.

Southern African Psyllidae (Homoptera) - I: A check list of species recorded from South Africa, with notes on the Pettey collection

Abstract: Before descriptionbing new species of Psyllidae from Southern Africa, it seems desirable to present a check list of the species already recorded, together with such information regarding host plants and localities as is at present available. Of the forty species now known, twenty-two were descriptionbed by the late Dr F. W. Pettey (one being a synonym), twelve by the late Dr G. Heslop-Harrison and seven by other authors.

The interpretation of some English species of Aegocrioceras (Cephalopoda: Ammonoidea) from the Speeton Clay (Lower Cretaceous)

Abstract: Summary Type specimens of Aegocrioceras quadratum (Crick), A. koeneni Spath and A. subseeleyi Spath are described and figured. A. subseeleyi is probably a junior subjective synonym of A. bicarinatum (Young & Bird). The interpretation of the other English species of Aegocrioceras listed by Spath (1924) is discussed and a new species, A. densiradiatum, is erected.

FAVRELLA R. DOUVILLE, 1909 (AMMONITINA, CRETACICO INFERIOR): EDAD y DISTRIBUCION

Abstract: The genus Favrella R. Douville has been recorded from Southern Patagonia (Argentina and Ch.le ), Neuquen and Mendoza Provinces (Argentina), Santiago Province (Chile), Peru, Colombia, Mexico, and U.S.S.R. Its supposed restriction to Southern Patagonia is doubtful. The age of Faurella is probably Haurerivian-Barremian; ev.dence for its suggested Aptian age is lacking. Patagoniceras Wetzel, 1960, is a probable junior subjective synonym of Favrella. No regional stratigraphic break between Berriasian and Aptian is evident in Southern Patagonia.

New or Interesting North American Lichens--I

Abstract: Pannaria melamphylla is shown to be a member of the Lichinaceae and is placed provis?ionally in the genus Gonohymenia. Two lichens new to the North American flora are reported from the southeastern United States: Heppia tortuosa (Nees) Vain., previously known from Brazil, and Pleuro- theliopsis australiensis (Miill. Arg.) Zahlb?r., previously known from Australia. The new combination Gonohymenia melamphylla (Tuck.) Henss. is made. Gonohymenia mesopotamica J. Stein is reported as a synonym of Rechingeria cribellifera (Nyl.) Serv., and the genus Forssellia Zahlbr. as a synonym of Ptery- giopsis Vain. The relationship between the Lichinaceae and the Heppiaceae is discussed. Gonohymenia melamphylla (Tuck.) Henss., comb. nov. Pannaria melamphylla Tuck., Synop. No. Amer. Lich., 123, 1882 (holotype, FH; isotype, c; collected in 1866 by Frost in Vermont). Pannaria melamphylla was described by Tuckerman (1882) as sterile and he therefore regarded the inclusion of the species in the genus Pannaria as provisional only. A restudy of the original collection revealed that the holotype is in fact fertile
