Zigrasimecia

description: Zigrasimecia ufv-04
(Fig. 15)
This morphospecies is most likely related to Z. hoelldobleri, but the unique specimen representing it is covered by hundreds of small bubbles which make impossible a proper examination and an unambiguous identification. Zigrasimecia ufv-04 is relatively small (HW 0.66). It has 32–36 clypeal chaetae. Frontal carina is strongly marked, forming a mildly sinuous margin from torulus to compound eye. Compound eye has around 50 ommatidia. Standing setae on body thick, clubbed and truncate. Petiolar node bilobed, node not particularly anteroposteriorly compressed. The peculiar clubbed setae (Fig. 15, C) and the petiole shape are the main characters suggesting the morphospecies Zigrasimecia ufv-04, Zigrasimecia ufv-06, and Z. hoelldobleri are a small group of related species within the genus. It is possible that Zigrasimecia ufv-04 and/or Zigrasimecia ufv-06 could belong to Z. hoelldobleri itself, but confirming that would likely require a better characterization of both morphospecies, which would be possible only through micro-CT scanning or with additional, better-preserved specimens. This morphospecies was excluded to all identification keys due to insufficient characters to differentiate it from Z. hoelldobleri; in the dichotomous key, it would easily key out as the latter.
A mite is attached to the metabasitarsus of the specimen (Fig. 15, e).

(Fig. 16)
The specimen is covered by hundreds of bubbles in the amber matrix, which makes it difficult to achieve satisfactory characterization. This morphospecies is overall very similar to Zigrasimecia ufv-04, sharing with it the abovementioned traits, except for being larger (HW 0.8, ML 0.72) and with the compound eye formed by more ommatidia, at least 90. It has approximately 34 clypeal chaetae. See above a discussion on the possible relatedness of the two morphospecies to Z. hoelldobleri. This morphospecies was excluded from all identification keys due to insufficient characters to differentiate it from Z. hoelldobleri; in the dichotomous key it would easily key out as the latter.

Zigrasimecia

description: Zigrasimecia ufv-09
(Fig. 18)
The specimen has many bubbles around it which prevents an ascertained identification. It has similar head shape, in full-face view, to Z. caohuijiae. It also resembles that species by its mesosomal and petiolar shape, in profile view. There are, however, standing setae on the body which makes conspecificity to Z. caohuijiae unlikely. The standing setae are thin, filiform, and apparently sparse, resembling that of Z. ferox. The shape of the mesosoma and petiole, though, do not indicate Zigrasimecia ufv-09 belongs to Z. ferox. Additional specimens, when found, might allow a more complete characterization and help in deciding whether it is worthy of receiving a formal description. This morphospecies was excluded to all identification keys due to the small number of characters that could be extracted from the specimen.

Zigrasimecia

description: Zigrasimecia ufv-08
(Fig. 17)
This morphospecies is composed of two specimens that were originally in one single piece (separated for study). The amber matrix is extremely dirty and both specimens appear desiccated (the entire body "sculpturing" appears to be an artifact). The specimens do not have conspicuous standing setae, instead, they have a curved small pilosity on the head which is similar to Zigrasimecia ufv-11 (see below). They have a subrectangular head. Compound eye has around 50 ommatidia. The frontal carina is poorly developed. The propodeal dorsal and descending surfaces are separated by a strong angle. The petiole is somewhat long and low, the node top surface is round, not bilobed (very distinct from any shape seen in other species or morphospecies). If better-preserved specimens confirm that the traits attributed to this morphospecies are not artifactual (some sclerite shapes could be a result of stretching), it will certainly belong to a new species, as this combination of traits is unique in the genus. This morphospecies was excluded from the dichotomous identification key.

description: Subfamily Odostomiinae Pelseneer
Remarks: Dall and Bartsch (1904) in the “synopsis of genera, subgenera and sections of the family Pyramidellidae ”, considered only four genera in the Pyramidellidae: Pyramidella Lamarck, Turbonilla Risso, Odostomia Fleming and Murchisonella Mörch; this last one now considered in the Pyramidelloidea family Ebalidae. The other three genera were subdivided in numerous subgenera. Such classification is somewhat correspondent with that presented by Vaught (1989), who divided the Pyramidellidae in four subfamilies: Pyramidellinae, Turbonillinae, Odostomiinae and Cyclostremellinae.
All genera herein studied were included by Dall and Bartsch (1904) as subgenera of Odostomia and by Vaught (1989) in the subfamily Odostomiinae, in either generic or subgeneric level. The exception is Boonea, described after the work by Dall and Bartsch (1909), but considered by Wise (1996) in Odostomiinae.
Recently, Bouchet and Rocroi (2005) proposed a classification for gastropod families, in which the family Pyramidellidae encompasses four subfamilies: Pyramidellinae, Turbonillinae, Odostomiinae and Syrnoliinae. In this paper, we follow such classification.
Schander et al. (1999a) proposed an alternative scheme, in which the pyramidellids were split into four families: Pyramidellidae, Turbonillidae, Odostomiidae and Syrnoliidae, in an obvious correspondence to that by Bouchet and Rocroi (2005) but in elevated taxonomic categories. The Odostomidae was subdivided in Odostomiinae, Chrysallidinae, Odostomellinae and Cyclostremellinae. In the classification by Schander et al. (1999a), all genera herein studied were included in the family Odostomiidae, but in different subfamilies, Chrysallidinae (Boonea, Chrysallida, Fargoa, Parthenina, Ivara, Mumiola and Trabecula) or Odostomellinae (Odostomella).
Schander et al. (2003) included three species of Parthenina with Boonea seminuda (C. B. Adams, 1839) in a phylogenetic analysis based on mtDNA sequences. These two genera were grouped along with Brachystomia Monterosato, Jordaniella Chaster, Liostomia G. O. S a r s, Spiralinella Chaster, Babella Dall & Bartsch and Egilina Dall & Bartsch in a clade named Liostomini. However, we have no guarantee that the other genera herein studied (e.g. Odostomella, Trabecula, Fargoa, Chrysallida, Ivara, Mumiola) would group in the same clade if included in the phylogenetic analysis. For this reason, we do not use the name Liostomini, since we believe that additional studies on the phylogeny of Pyramidellidae, including a larger sample of taxa, are necessary for such classification changes.

description: Zigrasimecia ufv-10
(Fig. 19)
The specimen has the entire cuticle wrinkled. It was originally so close to the edge of the amber piece that a few polishing and faceting was possible, so there are not too many views available and the specimen could not be fully studied. It apparently lacks any conspicuous standing pilosity on body, which excludes the possibility of it being Z. boudinoti, Z. chuyansui, Z. ferox, Z. hoelldobleri or Z. thate. The petiole in Zigrasimecia ufv-10 has a bilobed node. The specimen presents an interesting, potentially important trait, which is a visible promesonotal suture. The poor preservation conditions of the specimen, however, do not allow to exclude that some sort of folding could have resulted in a fake "promesonotal suture". If further specimens confirm the presence of a promesonotal suture in Zigrasimecia ufv-10, not only the morphospecies would be confirmed as a new species but it would also make the generic diagnosis outdated, as all Zigrasimecia workers known to date have the mesosoma fused to an almost maximum degree, without signs of a promesonotal suture whatsoever. This morphospecies was excluded from all identification keys due to uncertainty about most of its traits.

description: Zigrasimecia YKLP-AMB-002
This queen specimen was studied in astonishing detail through micro-CT scanning and had its external morphology described, as well as its internal organs in a work that demonstrate the power of this technique to help in the understanding of the morphology of the amber fossil ants (Zhuang et al., 2022b). In their description, the palpal formula is given as 4, 3, however, it can be seen to be in fact 6, 4 (Additional file 9, Video S8, 19 '').
The queen is surely not conspecific to Z. goldingot (one of the two species described based on queens), differing from it by the head rather subrectangular instead of subquadrate, by having 36 clypeal chaetae instead of 22, and by the shape of the mesoscutellum, which is about as long as wide while clearly wider than long in Z. goldingot. When compared to Z. tonsora (the other species described based on a queen), significant differences are not that apparent, in fact, both have similar clypeal chaetae numbers and similar mandibular shapes. Specimen YKLP-AMB-002 is better preserved than Z. tonsora holotype and has been better imaged due to the micro-CT scanning technique, so a detailed comparison between the two is difficult until we have a better characterization of Z. tonsora. Pilosity might be a main difference between the two, but chances of conspecificity should not be ruled out and direct comparison between them and/or further imaging of Z. tonsora should be attempted in the future.
Queen YKLP-AMB-002 was tentatively added to the multientry but not to the dichotomous key. The images in the multientry key are by Yuhui Zhuang, reproduced with permission.
Examined material. One alate queen (YKLP-AMB-002). Hukawng Valley, Kachin Province, Myanmar; Lower Cenomanian (ca.98.79 ± 0.62 Ma) [YKLP].

and Zigrasimecia JGD-09
(Fig. 20)
Five worker specimens are likely conspecifics and compose morphospecies Zigrasimecia ufv-11. Images for all specimens are uploaded on Antweb. The specimens share similar shapes of the head, mesosoma, and petiole (petiole apparently badly damaged in ANTWEB1047907), and all have small, curved, decumbent setae on the head. Currently, a species based on a worker specimen and deposited in the Yunnan Key Laboratory for Palaeobiology, Institute of Palaeontology, Yunnan University, Kunming, China, is being described and images were presented to one of the authors (Yuhui Zhuang, personal communication). The species is similar to Zigrasimecia ufv-11 and could be conspecific or very close to it, for that reason, I refrain from describing the morphospecies here. Zigrasimecia ufv-11 was added to both dichotomous and the multi-entry keys, as it will soon be described and is satisfactorily characterized.
One specimen (ANTWEB1047052) deposited at JGDC (added to Antweb as morphospecies “JGD-09”), could possibly belong to morphospecies Zigrasimecia ufv-11, but the available images were not sufficient to ascertain that.
Examined material. Hukawng Valley, Kachin Province, Myanmar; Lower Cenomanian (ca.98.79 ± 0.62 Ma). Four workers (ANTWEB104703, ANTWEB104710, ANTWEB104709, and ANTWEB1047907) [MBC]. One worker (ANTWEB1047053) [JCMCC].

description: Zigrasimecia JGD-10
(“ Z. caohuijiae _nr ”)
This worker specimen is similar to Z. caohuijiae, except for the petiolar shape which is more antero-posteriorly compressed, therefore, without the evenly round top of the node in lateral view, and by the mesosomal dorsal surface in dorsal view, which is apparently slightly more compact than in Z. caohuijiae. They share a similar head shape, to a great extent the mesosomal shape, and the petiolar shape in anterior view (petiole with a curved dorsal outline in anterior view rather than flat or bilobed). It was added to multientry key but excluded from the dichotomous; the images are by José Gómez Durán, reproduced with permission.
Examined material. One worker (ANTWEB1047077). Hukawng Valley, Kachin Province, Myanmar; Lower Cenomanian (ca.98.79 ± 0.62 Ma) [JGDC].

Remarks: Boonea jadisi (Figs. 3−8) has a wide geographical range in the western Atlantic, from Florida (Wise 2001) to Uruguay (Figueiras & Sicardi 1974). In Brazil, it has been recorded from the northeast coast (Mello & Perrier 1986; Barros 1994a; Rios 1994). The present study adds records from the Rio de Janeiro coast (southeast Brazil, ≅23o S).
Forcelli (2000) stated that Odostomia multituberculata Castellanos, 1982 from Argentina is similar to B. jadisi and could be a synonym. However, the original drawing of O. multituberculata and also the photo in Forcelli (2000) show a shell with conical outline, quite different from the pupoid shell of B. jadisi.

description: Genus Parthenina Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1883
Parthenina Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1883. Type species by monotypy: Turbo interstinctus Montagu.
Remarks: As discussed under Chrysallida, Parthenina was used as a subgenus by Aartsen et al. (2000) to include several species with strong, somewhat sinuous axial ribs crossed by weaker spiral cords, which are restricted at the lower region of the whorls. Such a pattern is present in the type species Turbo interstinctus, designated and illustrated by Bucquoy, Dautzenberg and Dollfus (1883: pl. 20, fig. 7). The synonymic confusion around this name was discussed by Wáren (1991), who considered it a junior synonym of Turbo interstinctus J. Adams, a position not accepted by Aartsen et al. (2000: 28).
More recently, Schander et al .. (2003) included P. interstincta (sensu Wáren (1991), as well as P. affectuosa (Yokoama) and P. s a r s i i (Nordsieck) in a phylogenetic analysis using molecular data and based on the results, raised Parthenina to a full genus, a position followed in the present work. The two species herein studied fit very well in the concept of Parthenina and so are reallocated to that genus. In addition, several species included by Aartsen et al. (2000) in the subgenus Parthenina are similar to the two species herein studied.

Material examined: --southeast and south of Brazil: -- PADCT expedition: MZSP 89117, sta 6571 [9]; -- REVIZEE expedition: MZSP 89118, sta 6669 [4]; MZSP 89119, sta 6669 [1]; MZSP 89120, sta 6668 [2]; MNRJ 10965, sta 6656 [2]; MNRJ 10961, sta 6662 [2]; MNRJ 10885, sta 6668 [1].
Remarks: Parthenina cf. interspatiosa (Figs. 31–35) is quite distinct from any other named western Atlantic pyramidellid species; the most similar is Egila sp. indet. A, published in Odé (1993c: 30), but the drawing provided in that work does not allow a comparison. However, there are some eastern Atlantic (European and African) species that have the same general shape and sculpture pattern found in P. cf. interspatiosa; as discussed above, some of them were included in Chrysallida sensu lato (e.g. Peñas and Rolán, 1998) or in Chrysallida (Parthenina) (e.g. Aartsen et al., 2000) Among those, the most similar are Parthenina interspatiosa (Linden & Eikenboom, 1992: 21, fig. 10, 25–26), and Parthenina pyttelilla (Schander, 1994: 25, fig. 3a); both were included in Chrysallida. Especially in P. interspatiosa, the sinuous axial ribs, their spacing, the small apical swelling on the ribs below the sutures, the ornamentation on the base, and columellar fold are quite similar. The only minor difference is the umbilicus, which is absent in the European species but variably present in the Brazilian specimens of P. cf. interspatiosa (Figs. 31−32). However, this is not unusual among pyramidellids; similar variation in umbilicus expression can be found in Eulimastoma canaliculatum (Pimenta & Absalão, 2004b). Parthenina pyttelilla is slightly different, having less sinuous ribs, less prominent swelling on the ribs below the sutures, and a less ornamented base.
For the reasons mentioned in the introduction (geographic distribution section), we refrain from describing this material as a new species, but do not determine it categorically as Parthenina interspatiosa; rather we refer to it provisionally as Parthenina cf. interspatiosa.
Parthenina cf. interspatiosa is restricted to localities in southeast coast of Brazil.

Type and type locality: lectotype and two paralectotypes designated by Faber (2005): Riise collection, Zoologisk Museum, Copenhagen (fide Faber, 2005), St. Thomas; holotype of Rissoa toroensis: ANSP 211885, paratype ANSP 211886, Bocas Island (Fig. 48).
Material examined: the holotype of Rissoa toroensis and: --West Indies: ZMA, Curaçao, Jong coll. [3]; ZMA, Aruba, F. Ferberne coll. [22]; -- Brazil: --Pernambuco State: MNHN, Cabo (enseada dos corais) [1]; MNHN, Recife (praia de Candeias) [1]; IBUFRJ 11155, Ilha Rata, Fernando de Noronha Archipel, 08.vii.1999, eq. Malaco coll.

Remarks: Mumiola gradatula (Figs. 48−50) has been reported from northeast Brazil by Rios (1994), as well as from other localities in the western Atlantic (e.g., Jong and Coomans, 1988; Redfern, 2001) as Chrysallida toroensis. Rissoa gradatula is an older, valid name, according to Faber (2005: figs. 4, 7) who illustrated its holotype, and should be allocated to the pyramidellid genus Mumiola. Herein, we illustrate the holotype of Rissoa toroensis (Fig. 48) and a shell from Brazil (Figs. 49−50).
The known geographical range of M. gradatula is now enlarged to southeast Brazil, off the state of Espírito Santo (≅19°S).

The specimens we examined from China are a somewhat different from those distributed in Sri Lanka as described in Slater et al. (1969). The basal brown area and the central dark macula of membrane separated by a broad, pale, lunate vitta (diffuse pale spots in center and adjacent to apex of corium described in Slater et al. [1969]). Antennal segment II and distal segment I flavescent (segment I and base of segment II flavescent described in Slater et al. [1969]). Distance apex corium–apex abdomen 2.10 (this distance was recorded as 1.22 in Slater et al. [1969], but both the distances of apex clavus–apex corium to apex corium–apex abdomen [0.87: 1.22] and apex corium–apex abdomen to body length [1.22: 5.66] mentioned in the text were not quite in accord with Fig. 6 of Slater et al. [1969]; therefore, we thought 1.22 may be not correct.) The pygophore opening and paramere are as in Fig. 3B, G.

This species was originally recorded as M. privus Distant in China (Zheng & Zou 1981a; Hua 2000); Kerzhner and Jansson (1985) synonymized M. privus with M. dentipes. It has been recorded only from Taiwan of China. We found more specimens from Hainan and Yunnan provinces of China in recent years.
There is a difference between the specimens we examined from Hainan and Yunnan of China and those described by Slater and Wilcox (1973) from India and Taiwan of China: the labium of specimens from Hainan and Yunnan attains the posterior margin of prosternum or anterior margin of mesosternum (labium attains posterior margin of mesosternum in Slater & Wilcox [1973]). Additionally, we provide figures of pygophore opening and paramere (Fig. 3A, F).
