Sacosternum

description: Sacosternum sp.
Except of the material mentioned above, we have examined the following female specimens belonging to the “ S. cruciphallus complex”. Most of the specimens below are females and are very similar to each other and we therefore did no attempt to identify them up to the species level until the males will be available from these localities. The only male from Mexico almost certainly belongs to an undescribed species standing possibly close to S. emissarium and S. cruciphallus based on the morphology of its aedeagus (but it lacks the lateral sclerites of the median lobe in contast to these species). The genitalia of this specimen was unfortunatelly lost during the preparation of the temporary slide and the species cannot be therefore described. Two females (one from Mexico, collected at the same locality as the mentioned male specimen, the second collected at the Guatemalan locality listed below) share extremely enlarged teeth on the posterior margin of abdominal ventrite 4 (Fig. 35). The precise shape of these teeth vary slightly even between the two specimens. Both specimens were collected together with those having simply denticulate posterior margin of the ventrite. For this reason, we are not able to decide whether the enlarged teeth represent a character of taxonomic importance, an infrequently occurring abberation or sexually dimorphic character.
Material examined. MEXICO: 1 male, 1 female (possibly not conspecific) (FMNH): “ MEXICO: Veracruz / Canyon SW Rio Metlac / 3200 feet, VII.31.1973 / A.

Halirages caecus

description: Halirages caecus Kamenskaya, 1980
The original spelling Halirages caecum, given by Kamenskaya (1980), has to be changed into H. caecus because Halirages is masculine and caecus, -a, -um is an adjective. Arctic Ocean, 'Drifting Station North Pole 22', stn 10, 81°44'N 121°46'W, 3467 m; stn 14, 81°42'N 126°51'W, 3530 m; stn 29, coordinates missing, 2910- 2630 m; stn 34, 79°02'N 127°39'W (including holotype), 3290 m; stn 50, 78°45'N 127°36'W, 2990- 2950 m; stn 53, 78°10'N 130°00'W, 2810 m. The table of stations provided by Kamenskaya (1980) indicates that all the stations of the drifting station North Pole 22 are in East longitudes. However, this is clearly a mistake and all these stations were actually in West longitudes. Indeed, Kamenskaya (1980) indicates that her stations are located in the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean, which only fits with West longitudes. Kamenskaya (2001) refers both to positions equivalent to West longitudes (with an unusual coding system) and the Canadian Basin for the same stations. Finally the stations of the drifting station North Pole 22 are plotted on fig. 2 of Afanas'ev and Filatova (1980) and their positions are indeed in the Canadian Basin, which confirms they are in West longitudes.

description: Halirages fulvocinctus (M. Sars, 1859)
Original combination: Amphithoë fulvocincta M. Sars, 1859; type specimens collected ''near Slaatholmen in the Lofotens and near Tromsø, between 1 and 10 fathoms'' [2 and 18 metres] (M. Sars 1859). Synonyms: Pherusa tricuspis Stimpson, 1863, type locality: Littleton Island, eastern shore of the Smith Sound, 78.5°N (Stimpson 1863); Halirages bispinosus Stephensen, 1917 [≠ H. bispinosus (Spence Bate, 1857) in Boeck 1871], type-locality: Bredefjord, South Greenland (Stephensen 1917). A very frequently recorded Arctic and subarctic species with a probably circumpolar distribution, reaching southwards South Iceland and the Skagerrak (Stephensen 1938), and occurring between 5 and 670 m (Oldevig 1959). On the figures of G.O. Sars (1893), which are otherwise excellent, the posterior border of the basis of P5-P7 is illustrated as totally smooth, whilst it is actually very weakly crenulate. In this respect, the figures of Stephensen (1917, as H. bispinosus) are more accurate.

According to Gurjanova (1946, 1951), the two type specimens (6.5 mm long juveniles missing pleon) were collected at 2500 m depth in the Arctic Ocean, at Station 100 of the Sedov expedition. The coordinates of the station (not provided by Gurjanova 1946, 1951) are: "stn 100, 8-10 July 1938. RV ' Sadko '. 81°10'N; 137°17'E; depth 2500 m; sediment, catch conditions and size not known; catch not rich, but satisfactory" (Gorbunov 1946). The station is located in the eastern part of the Nansen Basin.

description: The increasing dominance of digital technologies from the Western world underscores the urgent need to address the pervasive issue of technology colonisation, especially in Africa. This presentation explores how embracing and enhancing local technology development can resist the inequalities and erasure inherent in colonial structures. By reframing digital technology as a tool for decolonisation, this discourse interrogates the interplay between colonisation, migration, and diaspora in shaping access to and development of technologies.

I envision pathways to decolonised technologies by emphasising local innovation, transnational collaboration, and global equity. The persistence of neocolonial legacies in the global technology landscape necessitates rethinking Africa's rigid culture of import dependence and fostering indigenous production. The mantra "Consume what you grow, grow what you consume" highlights the need to prioritise the creation of locally relevant solutions that address indigenous challenges while promoting social, scientific, and economic impacts.

Key strategies discussed include strengthening Africa's research ecosystem through high-quality research production, fostering local and diaspora scholar collaborations, and translating scientific results into impactful startup ventures. Projects like Digital Transformation of the Textile Industry in Nigeria (Digitex), funded by the Nigerian Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TetFund), exemplify how innovation can address societal problems and drive global competitiveness.

Challenging present colonial legacies requires Africa to compete intellectually and technologically while complementing global advancements. Only by producing, consuming, and exporting indigenous solutions can we decolonise science and technology, break free from the cycle of exploitation, and imagine equitable futures that prioritise local agency and self-reliance.

Clarke (2010) erected Stultutragus to place specimens from Ommata (Eclipta) Bates, 1873, and recorded: “Scrutiny of photographs available on the internet suggest that O. (Eclipta) romani Aurivillius, 1919, although lacking the contrasting color combination, also might be placed in Stultutragus when specimens become available for examination.” The general appearance of Eclipta romani is very similar to Stultutragus cerdai (Peñaherrera- Leiva & Tavakilian, 2003), described from French Guiana. The former differs from the latter mainly by the absence of the black macula on the pronotum and elytral base.
Among the characters of Stultutragus, Clarke (2010) recorded: “Male urosternite V characteristic when viewed laterally: sides foliate (expanded ventrally, and prolonged into “wings”); and when viewed ventrally: these “wings” (now, looking like spines) demarcating a deep, horseshoe-shaped depression occupying half of ventral surface.” Aurivillius (1919) did not mention anything about the last urosternite of E. romani. However, the examination of specimens deposited in the MNRJ (Miguel A. Monné pers. comm.) shows that males of that species have the character. Thus, E. romani needs to be transferred to Stultutragus.
Stultutragus romani (Fig. 18) can be included in the alternative of couplet “4”, from Bezark et al. (2011):

The general appearance of Eclipta faurei is very different from that of Eclipta flavicollis (Bates, 1873) (type species of the genus): body shape; pronotal shape; elytral shape; legs (mainly hind ones). Those differences suggest that the species belong to a different and new genus. However, we examined a single female (without part of abdomen). Thus, the species is provisionally maintained in Eclipta until it is possible to study more specimens (mainly males).
Eclipta faurei was described and it is known only from French Guiana. It is now recorded from Brazil (Rondônia) for the first time.

DESCRIPTION ET COMPARAISONS
Les gerbilles de Ben Kérat (Table 2; Figs3 et 4) présentent une taille intermédiaire entre l’actuelle G. campestris Loche, 1867 et l’espèce fossile G. grandis Tong, 1989. Cette dernière a été décrite dans le gisement pléistocène moyen de Thomas 1 (Maroc) et observée ensuite dans plusieurs autres sites maghrébins datés du Pléistocène moyen (Stoetzel 2013). Les M1 montrent deux racines principales et une troisième petite racine linguale, des crêtes longitudinales hautes (antérolophule et néolophe L), et un protocône modérément décalé par rapport au paracône. Les m1 présentent deux racines (une m1 porte une ébauche de troisième racine très réduite du côté labial), les crêtes longitudinales (antérolophulide et néolophide L) sont hautes et alignées sur un même plan, l’hypoconide est décalé postérieurement par rapport à l’entoconide,et une m1 (la plus usée)porte un cingulum postérieur bien marqué. Sur la base de ces caractères de taille et de morphologie, nous attribuons les molaires de gerbilles de Ben Kérat à Gerbillus cf. grandis (Tong 1989). G. grandis est proche morphologiquement de G. campestris, mais outre une taille plus réduite, cette dernière se distingue notamment par des M1 avec un paracône orienté antéro-labialement et relié au protocône par une courte crête,alors que chez G. grandis le paracône est parallèle au protocône,ces deux derniers étant orientés labio-lingualement et largement unis. De plus, les m1 de G. campestris présentent un néolophide L moins haut que chez G. grandis (Tong 1989). La forme de Ben Kérat pourrait correspondre à la sous espèce G. grandis minor décrite par Geraads (1994, 2016a) à Oulad Hamida 1 (Grotte des Rhinocéros, Casablanca, Maroc), qui présente une taille un peu inférieure et des M1 avec des tubercules moins alternes que la sous-espèce nominale.
Il apparaît également qu’une révision d’une partie des collections serait nécessaire. Par exemple au sein du groupe des G. campestris fossiles la variabilité de taille est très grande (Fig. 4) et il est possible que parmi ces spécimens, notamment ceux datant du Pléistocène moyen, certains appartiennent à d’autres espèces (à Aïn Mefta par exemple).

DESCRIPTION ET COMPARAISONS
Le genre Meriones Illiger, 1811 apparaît au Maghreb à la fin du Pléistocène inférieur, mais se développe surtout au cours du Pléistocène moyen, avec M. maximus Tong, 1986, M. maghrebianus Tong, 1989, M. cherratae, et le groupe des M. shawii Duvernoy, 1842 / M. grandis Cabrera,1907 actuelles(Stoetzel 2013). Les autres espèces actuelles, notamment celles adaptées aux milieux arides (M. libycus Lichtenstein, 1823, M. crassus Sundevall, 1842) sont rares dans le registre fossile, et c’est toujours le groupe M. shawii / grandis qui domine les assemblages dans les sites archéologiques du Pléistocène supérieur et de l’Holocène (Stoetzel2013; Stoetzel et al. 2017). Les mériones présentent une morphologie dentaire très homogène d’une espèce à l’autre, et souvent seules la taille ou des analyses morphométriques plus poussées permettent de les discriminer efficacement. M. maximus présente une taille nettement plus importante que les autres représentants du genre, et les espèces actuelles M. libycus et M. crassus sont les plus petites.Parmi les espèces de taille moyenne, et bien que les données biométriques disponibles dans la littérature soient assez limitées, il semble que l’espèce fossile M. maghrebianus soit de plus grandes dimensions que M. grandis, et surtout que M. shawii (Stoetzel et al. 2010, 2017). Malheureusement, la rareté et le mauvais état de conservation des restes de Meriones de Ben Kérat ne permettent pas une attribution spécifique précise. Cependant, la taille des restes de Ben Kérat (longueur de la M1 abimée = c. 3,06 mm; M3 = 0,79 × 0,92 mm) semble se rapprocher davantage d’une espèce de taille moyenne comme M. maghrebianus, M. grandis ou M. shawii (Tong 1989; Stoetzel 2009; Stoetzel et al. 2010).

DESCRIPTION ET COMPARAISONS
Les restes d’un Muridae de taille moyenne, plus grand que Mus mais largement plus petit que Paraethomys Petter, 1968, ont été attribués au genre Praomys Thomas, 1915 (Jaeger 1975; Geraads 1994, 1995, 2016a). Le genre Praomys, d’affinité africaine, fait son apparition en Afrique du Nord dès la fin du Miocène, avant de se diversifier de façon importante dans cette région (Stoetzel 2013): Pr. skouri Jaeger, 1975 au Pliocène et au Pléistocène inférieur, Pr. abdallahi Jaeger, 1975 au Pléistocène inférieur, Pr. eghrisae Jaeger, 1975 au Pléistocène inférieur et moyen, Pr. pomeli Jaeger, 1975 et Pr. darelbeidae Geraads, 1994 au Pléistocène moyen. Comme pour Paraethomys, le genre Praomys disparait au Pléistocène supérieur. Bien que la morphologie dentaire soit très proche d’une espèce à l’autre, il existe des différences marquées du point de vue de la taille: Pr. skouri est la plus petite, puis viennent Pr. darelbeidae, Pr. abdallahi, Pr. eghrisae, et enfin Pr. pomeli qui est la plus grande (Jaeger 1975; Geraads 1994, 2016a).
La M2 de Ben Kérat (Fig. 9) porte un t1 très développé et un t3 réduit mais encore bien individualisé, tous deux étant reliés par une petite crête transversale antérieure, mais basse et peu développée. La m1 porte quatre cuspides antérieures subégales et confluentes, une ébauche de tma (sous forme d’un petit renflement d’émail), un c1 bien développé et individualisé, et un c4 réduit à un bourrelet d’émail. La m2 porte également un c1 bien développé et un tE bien marqué. Les grandes dimensions des molaires de Ben Kérat les rapprocheraient davantage de Pr. pomeli (Fig. 10) mais la rareté et la mauvaise conservation du matériel nous incitent à rester prudents et à limiter l’attribution de ces spécimens à Praomys cf. pomeli.

REMARQUES
En Afrique du Nord, le genre Crocidura (musaraignes à dents blanches) apparaît au Pléistocène inférieur, et connaît ensuite une diversification importante (Stoetzel 2013): C. jaegeri Rzebik-Kowalska, 1988 (Pléistocène inférieur), C. abdallahi nomen nudum d’après Vergilino (1999) (Pléistocène inférieur), C. darelbeida e Geraads, 1993 (Pléistocène inférieur et moyen), C. thomasi nomen nudum d’après Vergilino (1999) (Pléistocène moyen), C. maghrebiana Hutterer, 1991 (Pléistocène moyen), C. marocana Rzebik-Kowalska, 1988 (Pléistocène moyen), C. tadjerensis nomen nudum d’après Vergilino (1999) (Pléistocène moyen), C. russula Hermann, 1780 (depuis le Pléistocène inférieur, encore présente actuellement), C. viaria Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1834 (depuis le Pléistocène moyen, encore présente actuellement), C. tarfayensis Vesmanis & Vesmanis, 1980 (depuis le Pléistocène moyen, encore présente actuellement), C. whitakeri de Winton, 1898 (depuis le Pléistocène moyen, encore présente actuellement). La position taxinomique de certaines espèces est encore débattue, notamment C. jaegeri qui appartiendrait plutôt au genre Suncus Ehrenberg, 1832 (Butler 1998; Vergilino 1999), ainsi que d’autres espèces décrites dans le cadre de travaux universitaires non publiés (C. abdallahi, C. thomasi, C. tadjerensis; Vergilino 1999), parfois dans un seul site, et qui nécessitent une révision. Il est de plus difficile de connaître précisément les relations phylogénétiques entre ces différentes espèces. Mais plusieurs groupes de taille ont été reconnus, et sur cette base deux espèces semblent présentes à Ben Kérat.

DESCRIPTION
Les restes de Discoglossidae découverts dans le site miocène de Beni Mellal (Maroc) ont tout d’abord été attribués au genre Discoglossus Otth, 1837 avant d’être réattribués au genre Latoglossus Hossini, 2000 (Hossini 2000). Les proches représentants de l’espèce actuelle D. scovazzi Camerano, 1878 (anciennement D. pictus Otth, 1837) apparaissent au Maghreb au Pléistocène inférieur-moyen (Tighennif, Denys et al. 1987; Oulad Hamida 1 – Grotte des Rhinocéros, Hossini 2000, 2001; Oued Serrat, Martinez-Navarro et al. 2014), et sont ensuite bien représentés au Pléistocène supérieur (Doukkala 2, Ould Sabar & Michel 1996; El Harhoura 2, Stoetzel 2009, Stoetzel et al. 2012) et à l’Holocène (Guenfouda, Aouraghe et al. 2010; El Harhoura 2, Stoetzel 2009, Stoetzel et al. 2012; Gueldaman, Saidani et al. 2016). L’urostyle de Ben Kérat présente des départs d’expansions osseuses de chaque côté de la région antérieure, deux cotyles antérieurs, une crête neurale réduite portant un sillon en vue dorsale (Fig. 15), des caractères propres au genre Discoglossus (Bailon 1999).

Les grandes familles actuelles de squamates sont connues au Maghreb depuis le Miocène, et des formes proches ou identiques aux espèces actuelles ont été observées dès le début du Pléistocène inférieur (Bailon 2000; Bailon et al. 2017). Malheureusement, en raison d’un manque de spécialistes, de matériel ostéologique de comparaison et d’une méconnaissance des caractères distinctifs, les identifications s’arrêtent souvent à la famille ou au genre, limitant les interprétations évolutives et biochronologiques au sein de ce groupe.

DESCRIPTION ET COMPARAISONS
La vertèbre de lézard retrouvée à Ben Kérat (Fig. 16) est d’assez grande taille, de forme sub-quadrangulaire, procoele, avec un condyle et un cotyle de forme sub-circulaire;la carène hémale est large et s’ouvre antérieurement vers les synapophyses, qui présentent un aspect globuleux; il existe un système articu - laire de type pseudozygosphène, bien que peu développé;la neurépine est cassée (empêchant de voir le développement postérieur de la pointe inter-zygapophysaire). Ces caractères rapprochent plus cette vertèbre des Lacertidae que des Scincidae, chez qui les vertèbres sont plus allongées, avec des condyles et cotyles aplatis dorso-ventralement et une structure articulaire de type pseudozygosphène-pseudozygantrum (Bailon 1991).
Le fragment de dentaire est de très petite taille, et la morphologie générale difficile à observer (Fig. 16). Les dents y sont également mal conservées, on ne peut pas observer la morphologie ni le nombre des cuspides, mais il s’agit de dents pleurodontes, isodontes, cylindriques, assez minces et espacées les unes des autres, semblables à ce qui peut être observé chez différentes espèces de petits Lacertidae (Bailon 1991; Blain 2005).

DESCRIPTION ET COMPARAISONS
La vertèbre de colubriné de Ben Kérat (Fig. 17) est robuste, d’assez grande taille (longueur du centrum CL = c. 6,2 mm) et sans hypapohyses, alors que chez les Natricinés ces dernières sont présentes sur toutes les vertèbres dorsales (Bailon 1991). En vue ventrale, le centrum est allongé (CL/NAW = c. 1,45) et porte une carène hémale longue et fine sur toute sa longueur, avec des bords latéraux bien définis et un bord ventral «tranchant ». La grande taille et la morphologie de ce fragment de vertèbre le rapprochent du genre Malpolon (Bailon 1991; Bailon & Aouraghe 2002; Blain 2005; Stoetzel et al. 2008) mais son mauvais état de conservation ne permet pas une attribution certaine.

Remarks. Bates (1866) described L. ovalis based on syntypes from Brazil (Pará). Gilmour (1962) transferred this species to Urgleptes Dillon, 1956: “I have already given (1959) a preliminary list of species which are to be transferred to the genus Urgleptes Dillon from Lepturges Bates. Below I give a further list of species which require transferring to Urgleptes … Urgleptes ovalis Bates, 1863, comb. nov. ” Still according to Gilmour (1962): “I have to sincerely thank Dr. S. von Breuning for very kindly assisting me by examining and giving me notes on the types of Bates’s species listed above which are in the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris.” However, the row of punctures close to the posterior margin of the pronotum in L. ovalis does not follow toward sides of the prothorax (Fig. 60), the main feature allowing separating Urgleptes from Lepturges. Therefore, the information from Stephan Breuning to Elphinstone Forrest Gilmour was a mistake.
