description: Epanerchodus schawalleri sp. nov.
Figs 16–19
Material examined: Holotype male (SMF), China, Sichuan Prov., Emei Shan Mts, Wannian Monastery, 1050 m, 19– 30.03.1999, leg. W. Schawaller. Paratypes: 2 males, 3 females, 3 subadult males, 1 subadult female, 1 juvenile (SMF), 1 male, 1 female (ZMUM), same locality, together with holotype.
Name: Honours Dr. Wolfgang Schawaller, one of the main collectors.
Diagnosis: Differs from congeners by the relatively small size, coupled with the slender male prefemora, totally suppressed exomere and a large, ancoriform endomere. See also Key below.
Description: Length of holotype ca 8.0 mm, of other male paratypes up to 10 mm, of female paratypes ca 11.0– 11.5 mm; width of pro- and metazona in holotype 0.8 and 1.1 mm, respectively, in other male paratypes up to 1.0 and 1.4 mm, in female paratypes 1.5 and 2.0 mm, respectively. Coloration in alcohol pallid to uniformly light yellow (Figs 16 & 17).
All other characters like in E. jaegeri sp. nov., except as follows.
Antennae rather long and clavate (Figs 16 & 17), reaching behind segment 3 when stretched dorsally; in length, antennomere 3> 2 = 4 = 5 = 7, 6th highest.
In width, collum <head <segments 2 = 3 <4 ≤ 5–15(16), thereafter body gradually tapering towards telson (Fig. 16). Paraterga rather well developed, but not too broad, in male subhorizontal (Fig. 17), in female a little declivous, always lying below level of dorsum; collum ellipsoidal; caudal corner of following segments nearly to fully pointed, in metaterga 2–9 faintly obtusangular (ca 100º), in 10th subrectangular, thereafter increasingly acutangular, extending behind rear tergal margin in metaterga 13–18, shorter spines in 19th; dosum faintly convex, metatergal bosses flat, outlined by shallow sulci (Fig. 16). Tergal setae very short, pointed, mostly located on minute knobs. Hypoproct roundly subtrapeziform, caudal, paramedian, setiferous papillae evident and wellseparated knobs.
Legs (Figs 16–18) rather long and slender, ca 1.4–1.5 (male) or 1.2–1.3 (female) times as long as midbody height; male legs clearly incrassate, prefemora not bulging laterad, sphaerotrichomes absent (Fig. 18).
Gonopods (Fig. 19) rather simple, telopodite stout, an exomere totally missing, endomere (en) large and ancoriform, with a caudal tooth (x).

description: Kongsrudia rolani new species
(Fig. 3 A–F)
Type locality: Gabon, station G16, 03 º 49’S, 10º 37’E, 69 m.
Type material: Holotype deposited in Bergen Museum ZMBN 86655; 6 Paratypes from Type locality in Bergen Museum ZMBN 86656 2 Paratypes Gothenburg Natural History Museum GNM Gen. kat. 2010- 22.252 and Gen. kat. 2010-22.253.
Material examined: Station N15 20 shells; G2, 11 shells; G16, 10 shells; CR2, 13 shells.
Etymology: The species is named after Emilio Rolán, Vigo, Spain who has worked extensively on West African Pyramidellids, and is a dear friend.
Description: Shell tall, slender, conical, milky white and shiny with a blunt, pointed apex. Protoconch of type B. Whorls convex, turreted. Suture distinct and moderately deep, noticeably oblique. Narrow subsutural shelf. Axial ribs elevated, continuing down to base. Spiral sculpture consisting of numerous ribs, about equidistant, equally broad as interspaces. Covering axial ribs giving a grid-like appearance. Spiral ribs equally broad or broader than interspaces continuing to the base. Microsculpture of spine-like projections from upper and lower side of spiral ribs ad vertical striae on spiral ridges within interspaces of axial ribs. Aperture oval, almost kidney-shaped because of a distinct columellar tooth. Umbilical fissure can be deep or shallow.
Distribution: Nigeria, Gabon and Congo, 24- 162 m.

Remarks: The shape and sculpture is similar to Kongsrudia gruveli (Dautzenberg, 1910), but the whorls are more convex and K. gruveli lacks the microsculpture. The axial sculpture of K. gruveli is more prominent, especially on the base. Kongsrudia approxiamans (Dauzenberg, 1912) and K. ersei (Schander, 1994) are similar, but they both have more convex whorls, lack the subsutural shelf and have broader spiral ribs that are more tightly spaced. Like the genus Afroturbonilla Peñas, Rolán & Schander, 1999, Kongsrudia is so far only known from off West Africa.

description: Genus Turbonilla Risso, 1826
The Genus Turbonilla as commonly used is doubtless a polyphyletic assemblage. Schander et al. (1999) listed more than 40 genera in Turbonillinae. The knowledge of most of these genera are however scarce, and we therefore feel that we currently can not divide the West African species in a proper phylogenetic way, but are forced to place the new species in Turbonilla sensu latu. A proper revision of the family Turbonillidae is urgently needed.

Des débris frais (pronotums et élytres) de cette espèce ont été trouvés au fond d’une petite cavité sèche d’un chêne multicentenaire, le long d’une allée bordant un champ. Cette espèce n’était connue en Suisse que de quatre données genevoises (Chittaro & Sanchez 2016b), la dernière datant de plus de 25 ans. Liée nécessairement à de vieux arbres à cavités et extrêmement rare en Suisse, elle figure sur la liste des espèces emblématiques avec la valeur maximale de 7 (Sanchez et al. 2016). Des débris d’autres espèces extrêmement rares et exigeantes ont été trouvés dans la même cavité: Tenebrio opacus Duftschmid, 1812 (Tenebrionidae) et Elater ferrugineus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Elateridae), alors que le tronc est colonisé par Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758 (Cerambycidae). Non loin de là, un chêne décomposé au sol abritait encore le très rare Lacon querceus (Herbst, 1784) (Elateridae). Ce cortège faunistique exceptionnel est malheureusement menacé de disparition à moyen terme dans la localité échantillonnée, étant donné qu’il n’y a pas d’arbres favorables plus jeunes à proximité susceptibles de garantir la pérennité de ces espèces.

description: Turbonilla krakstadi new species
(Fig. 4 A–E)
Type locality: Gabon station G11, 02 º 40’S, 09º 14’E, 90 m.
Type specimens: Holotype, Bergen Museum ZMBN 86657. One paratype Bergen Museum ZMBN 86658. One paratype Gothenburg Natural History Museum GNM Gen. kat. 2010-22.254.
Material examined: Type material.
Etymology: The species is named in honor of Jens Otto Krakstad, who has lead many of the expeditions where the material included in this study was collected, and was fundamental in the initiative of getting a benthic part of the surveys.
Description: Shell small, slender, conical, milky white and shiny with blunt apex. Protoconch of type A- II, small and protruding. Whorls almost straight, bending slightly towards the lower suture, turetted. Suture distinct but not deep, noticeably oblique. Subsutural shelf present and distinct. Axial ribs elevated, strong and shouldered, irregular, almost straight and opisthocline. Interspaces equally broad or broader than ribs. Ribs ending abruptly at the periphery of the ultimate whorl or continuing to the base. If continuing to the base, they are more diffuse below the ultimate whorl. No spiral sculpture present. Aperture subrectangular. No collumellar tooth and no umbilicus.
Distribution: Gabon, 61- 90 m.
Remarks: The size of the protoconch differ slightly in the two shells from station G11. The interspaces between the ribs also differ slightly and one shell has ribs closer together. Turbonilla perezdionisi Peñas & Rolan, 1997 resembles this species, but has straighter whorls and lacks the subsutural shelf and shouldered axial ribs. The ribs of T. perezdionisi are also more sinuous and less opistocline than in T. krakstadi. Turbonilla melvilli Dautzenberg, 1912 shows some resemblance to T. krakstadi, but only the initial whorls are turreted in this species and the axial ribs are more tightly spaced. Turbonilla gradata Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1883 has more regular axial ribs and is less turreted than T. krakstadi.

Deux individus de cette espèce très rare ont été trouvés à l’aide d’un piège d’interception placé dans une hêtraie fraîche exposée nord. Se développant sous les écorces d’essences feuillues (probablement Fagus sylvatica ici) colonisées par des Pyrenomycetes, elle n’avait plus été mise en évidence en Suisse depuis plus de 20 ans.

Material examined. Holotype ♂: [Cameroun] ‘N’Goum, 40 km au sud du lac Tchad. 11.viii.1963 ’ ‘Cameroun. Bas-Chari, 1963. J. Péricart, coll.’ ‘S/ Convolvulacée. gen.’ ‘TYPE’ ‘Muséum Paris. CoLL. J Péricart’ ‘ Smicronyx (s. st) bisignatus m. A. Hoffmann det.’, (with red type label, MNHN). Paratypes. Data as for Holotype, (6♂, 4♀, MNHN). Other material. Data as for holotype (4♂, 1♀, MNHN; 7♂, 4♀, MNHN); Cameroun, Bas-Logone, réserve forestière de Logone-Birni, 2.viii.1963 (1♀, MNHN); Mali, (« Soudan Français »), Région de la Volta, Sikasso-Bobo-Diolassou, v–vi.1900, A. Chevalier (1♂, MNHN).
Diagnosis. Body length 2.1–2.2 mm. Colour. Body integument reddish, except antennal club, prothorax, suture of elytra and tarsi which are brownish; vestiture of elytra comprising rounded, recumbent, slightly overlapping scales, moderately to distinctly longer than wide, not concealing integument, and series of semi-erect scales on all interstriae, generally whitish on interstriae 3–5–7; scales of elytra pale brown, usually darker along interstriae 1–2 at least at base, sometimes whitish along interstria 3. Head. Rostrum moderately arched in lateral view, longer than head capsule + prothorax, covered with scales in basal 2/3 (♂) or 1/3 (♀). Prothorax. Slightly wider than long (w/l ratio: 1.10), sides moderately downcurved, constricted apically, almost half as wide as base at apical margin. Elytra. Subparallel in basal two thirds (w/l ratio: 0.62), rounded toward apex in apical third. Legs. Femora clavate, armed with a distinct ventral tooth, tibiae straight. Genitalia. Penis elongate (w/l ratio: 0.56), sides straight, subparallel, slightly converging in apical 1/3, apex rounded, slightly and regularly curved in lateral view (Fig. 5A).
Life history. Adults were collected on an unidentified Convolvulaceae, from May to August.
Distribution. Cameroon, Mali.
Discussion. Smicronyx bisignatus belongs to the S. remaudierei species group (see discussion on S. remaudierei). WIthin this species group, it can be distinguished from S. remaudierei by the absence of a short line of white scales at the base of the prothorax near the scutellum. It can be distinguished from S. adjamati and S. crassithorax by the presence of a ventral tooth on the femora, which is absent in the latter species. It can be distinguished from S. zambianus by its reddish integument and its elongate elytra of w/l ratio: 0.62 (black integument and w/l ratio: 0.70 in S. zambianus). Smicronyx bisignatus is also the only species having a widely rounded penis apex (Fig. 5A).

Material examined: Holotype male (SMF), China, Yunnan Prov., above Dali, 2000–2200 m a.s.l., 4– 17.04.1999, leg. W. Schawaller. Paratypes: 1 male, 1 female, 4 juveniles (SMF), same locality, together with holotype. Name: To emphasize the provenance of the new species from Yunnan.
Diagnosis: Differs from congeners by the large size, coupled with slender male prefemora, the presence of sphaerotrichomes on male postfemora, tibiae and tarsi and of two distinct processes at the base of a sigmoid, subterminally bacilliferous endomere, and the absence of an exomere. See also Key below.
Description: Length of holotype and male paratype ca 21 mm, of female paratype ca 23 mm; width of pro- and metazona 1.8 and 3.4 (holotype), 1.7 and 3.2 (male paratype) or 2.0 and 3.5 mm (female paratype), respectively. Coloration in alcohol pallid to uniformly light brown (Figs 20 & 21).
All other characters like in E. jaegeri sp. nov., except as follows.
Antennae rather long and slightly clavate due to moderately high antennomere 6 (Figs 20 & 21), slightly overreaching segment 4 or 3 when stretched dorsally in male and female, respectively; antennomere 3 longest,> 2 = 4–6.
In width, head <collum <segment 2 = 3 <4 <5 = 16, thereafter body gradually tapering towards telson (Fig. 20). Paraterga broad and strongly developed, very much like in E. jaegeri sp. nov., but dorsum nearly flat, in male mostly somewhat upturned, reaching slightly above level of dorsum (Fig. 21), in female largely subhorizontal; caudal corner of paraterga increasingly well extending behind rear tergal margin, acutangular, pointed and subspiniform, slightly shortened only in segment 19; metatergal bosses very flat, in rows 2 and 3 outlined by shallow sulci (Fig. 20). Tergal setae very short, pointed, mostly borne on minute knobs. evident. Hypoproct roundly subtrapeziform, caudal, paramedian, setiferous papillae evident and well-separated knobs.
Sterna without modifications, densely setose. Legs generally long and slender, male ones slightly incrassate, prefemora not bulging laterad while postfemora, tibiae and tarsi beset with sphaerotrichomes ventrally (Figs 22 & 23).
Gonopods (Figs 22 & 24) much like in E. potanini (Fig. 6), but basal half of telopodite slenderer, an exomere wanting while tip of endomere (en) trifid.

Type material: Holotype, Bergen Museum ZMBN 86659.
Type locality: Gabon station G11, 02 º 40’S, 09º 14’E, 90 m.
Material examined: Type material.
Etymology: The species is named after Anselmo Peñas, Barcelona, Spain who has worked extensively on West African Pyramidellids, and is a dear friend.
Description: Shell small, slender, conical towards subcylindrical, white and shiny with rounded apex. Protoconch of type A-II. Whorls slightly convex. Suture shallow. Axial ribs elevated, straight and opisthocline. Axial ribs equally broad as interspaces, disappearing at the periphery of the ultimate whorl. The base is smooth. Sculpture seen in interspaces consists of both fine macrostructure and microstructure, the sculpture is strongest abapically and consists of spiral striae and vertical grooves. Interspaces between spiral striae are broader in the middle of the whorl and more tightly spaced apically than abapically. Vertical grooves more tightly spaced apically gives finer sculpture there. Aperture subrectangular. No columellar tooth. No umbilicus.
Distribution: Gabon, 90 m.
Remarks: The combination of shape and the very fine sculpture makes this species fairly easy to distinguish from other species of Turbonilla s. l. Turbonilla bedoyai Peñas & Rolan, 1997 has a similar sculpture between the axial ribs, but in this species the sculpture is evenly spaced.

description: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of arousal on commitment to a goal, and secondarily, to test the assumption that more difficult goals result in better performance. It was predicted that arousal would cause research participants to be more committed to a goal, and that those participants assigned a difficult goal would perform better than those participants assigned an easy goal. Research participants were 124 active duty members of the United States Navy stationed at a remote military facility in Cornwall, England. Participants in the arousal group first viewed video clips designed to produce emotional arousal, whereas participants in the non-arousal group did not watch the video clips. Next, all participants were assigned goals varying in difficulty (easy or difficult), and then their commitment to those goals was assessed using a commitment scale developed by Hollenbeck, Williams, and Klein (1989) . There were no significant differences between the arousal and the non-arousal groups on a manipulation check of arousal, which might raise questions about the effectiveness of the arousal independent variable. However, there was a significant difference on the commitment measure between the arousal and the non-arousal groups. Participants in the arousal group reported greater commitment to their goals compared to participants in the non-arousal group. Previous research on goal setting has suggested that more difficult goals result in better performance on a task than easy goals. There were no observed effects of difficult versus easy goals on the performance of the research participants. Limitations in the present research and implications for future studies were discussed.

Material examined. Democratic Republic of Congo, Sibiti, XII-1963, mission A. Descarpentries & A. Villers, “ S. rufipennis Tournier ” A. Hoffmann det. (1♂, MNHN).
Diagnosis. Body length 1.8–2.2 mm. Colour. Body integument black; vestiture of elytra consisting of recumbent, overlapping scales, distinctly longer that wide, more or less concealing integument, and of a series of semi-erect elongate scales, separate, on all interstriae; scales of elytra whitish, pale to dark brown, pale scales usually forming a spot on humeri and irregular patches on rest of elytra. Head. Rostrum distinctly downcurved in lateral view, especially at base, slightly longer than head capsule + prothorax, as thick as greatest width of profemora. Prothorax. Wider than long (w/l ratio: 1.10), sides greatly rounded in basal two-thirds, constricted apically, slightly narrower at apical margin than at base, widest behind middle; integument of disc distinctly granulate. Elytra. Moderately convex in basal two-thirds (w/l ratio: 0.69), rounded toward apex in apical third, widest near or beyond middle. Legs. Femora moderately clavate, unarmed, tibiae straight. Genitalia. Penis moderately elongate (w/l ratio: 0.57), sides straight, subparallel, converging near apex, apex rounded, slightly and regularly curved in lateral view (Fig. 5F).
Life history. This species develops on various species of Cuscuta. It has been recorded on Cuscuta palaestina Boiss. in the Near East (Haran et al. 2017). Adult specimens collected in December in sub-Saharan Africa.
Distribution. Smicronyx syriacus is widely distributed in the Mediterranean basin and in central Asia (Caldara 2013); in sub-Saharan Africa it is known from the Republic of Congo.
Discussion. Among tropical African Smicronyx, S. syriacus has a general body size and appearance similar to S. gossypii and S. pauperculus. It can be distinguished from these species by its wider prothorax (w/l ratio: 1.10 while only of 1 in S. gossypii and S. pauperculus).

Catherine was an outstanding scientist and a future leader from the region who died unexpectedly only months from finalizing her PhD in 2006.
Description: Shell small, delicate, conical, milky white with blunt apex. Protoconch of type A-II, small and semi-submerged. Whorls convex. Suture distinct, but not deep. Axial sculpture consisting of numerous, shallow and sinuous grooves, not equal or equidistant. Axial sculpture ending abruptly at the periphery of the ultimate whorl. The base is smooth. Spiral sculpture consisting of fine spiral striae on the initial whorl, and the upper third of the second whorl. Aperture oval. No columellar tooth, and no umbilicus.
Distribution: Gabon, 24 m.
Remarks: This species has a protoconch similar to Turbonilla oliverioi Peñas & Rolán, 1997. The sculpture is also similar to this species, but is more sinuous in Turbonilla iseborae. The fine spiral striae seen in Turbonilla iseborae are also seen in the initial whorl of some specimens of T. oliverioi, but not on the second whorl. Turbonilla syrtensis van Aartsen, 1981 has a similar shape and protoconch, but the axial sculpture consists of straight ribs that are much broader than the interspaces.
