Acanthoclymenia

description: Genus Acanthoclymenia Hyatt, 1900
Type species
Clymenia (Cyrtoclymenia) Neapolitana Clarke, 1892 (original designation).
Diagnosis
Genus of the family Acanthoclymeniidae with extremely discoidal, subinvolute to subevolute conch; venter flattened or concave. Suture line with relatively narrow wide lobe, moderately high median saddle, V-shaped E 2 lobe, shallow and rounded lateral lobe. Suture line formula (E 2 E 1 E 2) L: U I.
Included species
Clymenia (Cyrtoclymenia) Neapolitana Clarke, 1892, New York; Goniatites forcipifer Sandberger & Sandberger, 1851, Rhenish Mountains; Goniatites Genundewa Clarke, 1879, New York; Goniatites Planorbis Sandberger & Sandberger, 1851, Rhenish Mountains.
Remarks
In the description of the type species as well as its assignment to a genus, it was erroneously assumed that it was a clymeniid; this error was corrected by House (1961) and the species was classified among the gephuroceratids, although in the genus Manticoceras.
Acanthoclymenia is considered the stratigraphically earliest and morphologically simplest genus of the superfamily Beloceratoidea (Korn & Klug 2002). It still has a suture line of the early gephuroceratids (for example Ponticeras), consisting of a divided external lobe and a lateral, umbilical and internal lobe each. The genus is distinguished from the ponticeratids by the concave venter; a character that persists in subsequent forms of the Beloceratoidea.

description: Genus Koenenites Wedekind, 1913
Type species
Goniatites lamellosus Sandberger & Sandberger, 1851 (original designation).
Diagnosis
Genus of the family Koenenitidae with extremely discoidal, subinvolute to involute conch; venter rounded in all stages. Suture line with wide external lobe, moderately high median saddle, narrowly V-shaped E 2 lobe, U-shaped or V-shaped lateral lobe and rounded umbilical lobes. Suture line formula (E 2 E 1 E 2) L U 2: U 1 I.
Included species
Goniatites lamellosus Sandberger & Sandberger, 1851, Rhenish Mountains; Koenenites baoshanensis Yang, 1984, Yunnan; Koenenites cooperi Miller, 1938, Michigan; Koenenites lamellosus kirchgasseri House, 1978, West Virginia; Manticoceras Pattersopni var. styliophilus Clarke, 1899, New York; Goniatites sublamellosus Sandberger & Sandberger, 1851, Rhenish Mountains (synonym of Koenenites lamellosus (Sandberger & Sandberger, 1851)); Koenenites uralensis Bogoslovsky, 1969, North Urals.
Remarks
Koenenites is the only genus of the family Koenenitidae in which the conch has a rounded venter. Koenenites, along with Hoeninghausia, also has the simplest suture line in the family with only two umbilical lobes.

Acanthoclymenia planorbis – Korn & Klug 2002: 119, text-fig. 123h.
Diagnosis
Species of Acanthoclymenia reaching about 30 mm conch diameter with small, extremely discoidal, evolute conch between12 and 32 dm (uw/dm decreasing from ~ 0.50 to ~ 0.45). Whorl profile compressed; umbilical wall shallow and rounded, whorl profile pear-shaped, ventrolateral margin angular, venter flat. Growth lines very fine, strongly biconvex.
Material examined
Lectotype GERMANY • Rhenish Mountains, Oberscheld; middle Frasnian (Red Ironstone); Wiesb. 46a. Illustrated by Sandberger & Sandberger (1850 –1856: pl. 9 fig. 3a); re-illustrated here (Fig. 21A).
Paralectotype GERMANY • 1 specimen; Rhenish Mountains, Oberscheld; middle Frasnian (Red Ironstone); Wiesb. 46b. Illustrated by Sandberger & Sandberger (1850 –1856: pl. 9 fig. 3) re-illustrated here (Fig. 21B).
Additional material
GERMANY • 1 specimen; Rhenish Mountains, Oberscheld (Grube Königszug); middle Frasnian (Red Ironstone); Kauth Coll.; MB.C.30438 • 1 specimen; Rhenish Mountains, Oberscheld; middle Frasnian (Red Ironstone); Koch Coll.; MB.C.30439.
Description
Four specimens are selected for description and illustration:
Lectotype Wiesb. 46a: incomplete specimen with 32 mm conch diameter in haematitic ironstone (Fig. 21A).
Paralectotype Wiesb. 46b: incomplete specimen with 22 mm conch diameter in haematitic ironstone (Fig. 21B).
MB.C.30438: slab and counterslab with two specimens (13 and 7 mm conch diameter) co-occuring with Mesobeloceras kayseri in haematite ore (Fig. 22A).
MB.C.30439: moderately well-preserved specimen with 12 mm conch diameter in haematitic iron ore (Fig. 22B).
The specimens contribute only little to our knowledge of the species. All are embedded on rock slabs (Fig. 22), which prevents precise measurement of the whorl width, but it is clear that the conch is extremely discoidal. It is also clear that the whorl profile is pear-shaped with a rounded umbilical wall, convex flanks, a subangular ventrolateral shoulder and a flattened venter. The umbilicus has nearly exactly half the value of the conch diameter.
Remarks
Acanthoclymenia planorbis differs from the other species of the genus from Oberscheld, A. forcipifera, in the much wider umbilicus at 12 mm conch diameter (uw/dm ~ 0.50 in A. planorbis but ~ 0.30 in A. forcipifera).

description: Phlyctaenodini Lacordaire
Phlyctaenodini Lacordaire, 1868: 370
Tessarommatini Lacordaire, 1868: 378 syn. nov.
Diagnosis. Moderately large to small beetles with dorsal surfaces setose and usually bearing stiff bristles. Head: eyes coarsely facetted, deeply emarginate to divided; frontoclypeus in front of antennae short, distinctly sloping; frontoclypeal suture visible. Antennal insertions close to mandibular articulations, on raised tubercles; antennal foramen lateral with thin rim bearing external articulation. Antennae long, filiform without spines; antennal scape shorter than length of pronotum. Prothorax with lateral projection or spine; procoxal cavities transverse with lateral expansions; externally open; procoxae projecting below prosternal process, very narrowly separated; protrochantin exposed. Mesocoxal cavities externally open to mesepimeron; mesocoxae without secondary articulation; mesotrochantin visible.
Remarks. We were able to examine mostly Australian representatives of this tribe and cannot comment on the status of the New Zealand or South American taxa; however, based on the description and illustrations in Lu & Wang (2005) the New Zealand Ophryops White should be removed from Phlyctaenodini to Callidiopini as Ophryops has long non-spinose antennae and sunken antennal insertions, with an internal articulation point, as are found in the Callidiopini.

Phlyctaenodes Newman, 1840: 20. Type species by monotypy, Phlyctaenodes pustulosa Newman, 1840. Trachelorachys Hope, 1841: 51. Type species by original designation, Stenochorus fumicolor Hope, 1841 (= Phlyctaenodes pustulosus Newman, 1840).
Demacidia Thomson, 1861: 246. Type species by monotypy, Demacidia brunnea Thomson, 1861 (= Phlyctaenodes pustulosus Newman, 1840).
Description. Length 11–30 mm. Body slender, light to dark brown with shiny granules on elytra; dorsal vestiture double with dense adpressed setae and sparse bristles. Head subquadrate moderately strongly inclined; frontoclypeal suture well visible; terminal maxillary palpomere expanded in males of some species. Eyes large, coarsely facetted, distinctly emarginate, lower lobe very close to mandibular articulations. Antenna 11-segmented, filiform; antennomere 3 subequal or longer than antennomere 4. Prothorax with acute lateral projections; disc with paired nodules or pointed tubercles. Prosternal process narrow, blade-like not expanded apically. Mesocoxae distinctly separated; mesoventral process broad and meeting metaventrite. Elytra rounded or pointed apically; disc with granules bearing bristles or setae. Legs have procoxae without transverse plates; femora at most weakly clavate, rarely with reduced setose brushes; protibia simple with two apical spurs.
Remarks. Both P. pustulatus and P. pustulosus differ from the remaining species included here by having the prothorax with a sharp and narrow based lateral spine and paired dorsal projections. The remaining species, here treated as Phlyctaenodes, may eventually be transferred to an existing or new genus pending the revision of the world genera of the Phlyctaenodini.

(Figures 2 D, 2E)
Tessaromma aurata McKeown, 1942: 83. TL: New South Wales, Comboyne. Phlyctaenodes auratus: Ślipiński & Escalona 2016: 238 (comb. nov.).
Description. Length 10.2 mm. Body integument entirely reddish brown; dorsum covered by dense, adpressed golden setae not forming wavy pattern but mostly directed obliquely and posteriorly (Fig. 2 D); ventral side uniformly brown with abdomen light brown, shortly setose; vestiture single, without bristles. Head covered with adpressed golden setae; frontoclypeal suture weakly indicated, slightly angulate medially; terminal maxillary palpomere ovoid. Upper eye lobe very narrow (Fig. 2 E), width only 4 ommatidia across. Antenna extending slightly beyond elytral apices; scape relatively long, pedicel subquadrate; antennomere 3 shorter than scape, subequal to antennomere 4; antennomers 9–11 subequal in length. Pronotum length 0.9 times width, very densely punctate and setose; disc strongly convex without tubercles, with hardly visible median longitudinal depression; lateral edge with short broad based posteriorly bent median projection. Scutellum weakly concave with short setae. Elytra obliquely truncate apically; dorsum convex with median area at base separated from humeri by shallow depression; surfaces without granules or punctures bearing bristles, very densely micro punctate and setose, feebly shiny. Legs. Femora gradually thickened apically.
Types. “Holotype | Comboyne, NSW, 1937, H.J.D & D.T.S | Tessaromma aurata McKeown | Australian Museum K289468” (AM, holotype; probably female)
Remarks. This is a very distinctive and quite unusual species differing from all Phlyctaenodes in having no indication of dorsal pronotal tubercles and elytra without bristle bearing punctures. The lateral projection on prothorax is very short and broad. Unfortunately, we were not able to examine this species in more detail because we had only partially damaged holotype for study.

description: Tessaromma triste (Hope)
(Figures 3 G, 3H, 4Q–U)
Meropachys tristis Hope, 1841: 53. TL: Western Australia, Swan River (OMNH, examined).
Meropachys sericans Erichson, 1842: 221. TL: Tasmania (MNB, examined). New Synonym.
Description. Length 15.8–20.8 mm. Body integument light brown to dark brown with median longitudinal section and apices of elytra usually slightly lighter than pronotum and elytral bases; ventral side of thorax uniformly dark brown to almost black, abdomen with apical parts of each ventrite distinctly lighter than the bases. Vestiture double, composed of sparse brown or silvery bristles and short, strongly adpressed setae, yellowish on head and pronotum, golden and much denser on elytra forming not very distinctive wavy pattern at basal two thirds of elytra. Head with frontoclypeal suture not well visible, located in concave area and covered by dense setae. Eye lower section approximately three times as large as the upper section. Antennae densely setose ventrally; in male extending 2–3 antennomeres beyond elytral apices, in female reaching slightly beyond elytral apices; antennomere 4 as long as 3, but obviously shorter than 5. Prothorax 0.8–1.0 times as long as wide with sharp, posteriorly bent lateral projection near middle; constricted at apex and at base. Disc convex, with weak median longitudinal impression or with 2 weak elevations separated at middle. Scutellum broadly rounded or truncate apically with dense silvery setae, mostly arranged longitudinally. Elytra obliquely truncate apically. Each elytron with three dorsal and two lateral rows of distinct shiny protuberances, each bearing puncture and bristle apically; irregular and denser bristles present at apical, lighter part of elytra. Male genitalia: endophallus with a bunch of sclerotized spikes (Fig. 4 Q, 4U).
Material Examined (18, ANIC; 3, QM; 4, NMV; 7, SAM; 1, RDKC). Tasmania: Liffey Valley; Hobart; Launceston; Kingston; Arthurs Lake; Mt. Wellington.
Distribution (Fig. 6B). This species is endemic to Tasmania.
Biological data. Tessaromma triste specimens were collected by MV light trap throughout the entire year.
Remarks. The type locality of T. triste is certainly erroneous; all examined specimens of this species were collected in Tasmania, and so far, we have not seen a single specimen of Tessaromma from Western Australia.

Tessaromma argenteonigra Gressitt, 1959. TL: Bulolo, Morobe Distr. Papua New Guinea (BPBM, examined)
Description. Length 8.5 mm. Body integument uniformly dark brown. Vestiture of sparse brown bristles and short, adpressed setae; yellowish, sparser and less obvious on head and pronotum, more or less denser on elytra. Dorsum surface with dense recumbent silver setae forming wavy pattern. Head as long as wide, including eyes slightly wider than prothorax at anterior margin. Frontoclypeus flat uniformly brown, without any yellowish areas in front of eyes. Frontoclypeal suture nearly invisible. Eye lower section at least 4 times as large as the upper section. Antennae sparsely setose ventrally, antennomere 4 as long as antennomere 3, shorter than antennomere 5. Prothorax almost as long as wide, with sharp median projection laterally. Dorsum with two strongly prominent admedian tubercles, very narrowly separated anteriorly and almost joined posteriorly. Scutellum distinctly narrowing posteriorly, rounded at apex, covered with dense golden adpressed setae. Elytra truncate to slightly pointed apically. Each elytron with sparse protuberances bearing puncture and bristle apically. Legs obviously bicoloured, yellowish brown on coxae, basal part of femur, and tarsi; dark brown on clavate area of femur, and tibia. Abdomen. Ventrites uniformly dark brown, truncate apically.
Types. “ Holotype, Tessaromma argenteonigra J.L.Gressitt | New Guinea: Bulolo, 880m, Aug. 25 1956 | E.J. Ford, Jr., Light Trap ” (BPBM, holotype Bishop 2809).
Remarks. Tessaromma argenteonigra is very similar to T. nanum, particularly to its dark form distributed in North Queensland, but it can be easily distinguished by its gena in front of eyes without a yellowish spot and legs with particular bicolor pattern.

(Figure 5 F)
Etymology. This species is dedicated to Miss Carolina Escalona, newly born daughter of Natalie Banks and Hermes E. Escalona.
Description. Length 6.6–8.3 mm. Body slender, integument yellowish brown, with dark and light markings alternately distributed on elytra. Ventral side uniformly brown, glabrous, and feebly shiny. Head large, yellowish brown, densely punctate with short adpressed hairs; frons in front of antennal insertion convex, with a deep midcranial suture in the middle; frontoclypeal suture weakly developed; clypeus weakly concave, with sparse long setae. Mandible well-developed, turning dark at teeth apices and margins. Eyes large, expanding to the ventral side, strongly emarginate near antenna insertion, and weakly emarginate near mandible articulation. Antenna long, in both sexes extending about 3 antennomeres beyond elytral apices. Antennomeres uniformly brown, antennomere 11 slightly shorter than others. Pronotum transverse, uniformly brown, weakly constricted in front, with projections on lateral side; disc densely punctate, glabrous, and flat. Scutellum with dark margins, truncate apically. Elytra with random relatively long bristles, bearing two light brown, parallel raised costae on basal two thirds of disc; coarsely and deeply punctate at the base, yellowish brown as the pronotum, but with dark and light markings alternately distributed. Legs strong, unicolor, meso- and metafemur each with very obvious tooth on the ventral side.
Types. Holotype: ♀, Queensland: “ Aerodrome Rd., 4m W. Cooktown, N.Q., 21.1.71, J.G. & J.A. Brooks ” (ANIC). Paratype, same data as the holotype (ANIC). Originally both specimens were collected at light and mounted on a single card with locality information underneath.
Remarks. This species differs from the E. loxleyae (McKeown) and E. surprise sp. nov by having a uniformly darker pronotum and elytra, and the different pattern of raised costae on the elytral disc. Distribution. Known only from northern Queensland.

Crumière leg.; CEIOC 79921. • 6 apterous males, 10 apterous females; Colón, Gamboa, artificial pool; 9.12086° N, - 79.70374° W; 9 May 2015; A.J.J. Crumière leg.; CEIOC 79919.
Remarks. This is the most common and widespread species of the genus in the Americas, ranging from Canada to Argentina, besides having been introduced in the Hawaiian Islands (Damgaard et al. 2012). There is only one previous record from Panama (Champion 1898), from near Panama City. The record above is the first from Colón Province. Río Chagres is a large river, where the mesoveliids were collected moving on top of hydrophytes with large leaves that almost totally covered the surface of the water in the sampled area. The artificial pool where Mes. mulsanti was collected had a fair diversity of semiaquatic bugs. In addition to this species, Lipogomphus leucostictus, Platyvelia brachialis, Microvelia fantastika, Mi. mimula and Limnogonus hyalinus have been collected in the same habitat. The pool occupies about 40 m 2 under some trees, and was massively covered by hydrophytes with minute leaves, with almost no open water.

Remarks. This species occurs from Hispaniola Island to Trinidad & Tobago in the Antilles, and from Costa Rica to southeastern Brazil (Moreira et al. 2016). There are several previous records from Panama (Champion 1898; Allee & Trovik 1927; Gould 1931; Drake 1948; Bacon 1956; Polhemus 1997), including the provinces of Bocas del Toro, Panama, and Coclé. The records from Colón above are the first from this province. The puddle on the muddy Pipeline Road is quite unstable and the specimens likely moved to this habitat from the surrounding creeks. The specimens from Gamboa were collected in small water pools remaining from a dry creek located under canopy. The water level was very low and it was the only species of Gerromorpha present.
