description: Genus Loricella Pilsbry, 1893
Type species. Lorica angasi H. Adams in H. Adams & Angas, 1864, by monotypy.
Synonyms. Pseudoloricella Ashby, 1925: 198; Componochiton Milne, 1963: 25; Sinolorica Xu, 1990: 376.
Genus distribution. Sagami Bay and Omurodashi Bank (Japan), South of East China Sea, north of South China Sea, Indonesia, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga Islands, New Caledonia, South and East Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand, intertidal– 772 m. Miocene–Recent.
The inclusion of the genus Squamophora Nierstrasz, 1905 as a junior synonym of the genus Loricella (Van Belle 1978, 1983) led to a confusion of generic characters of Loricella. The restoration of the genus Squamophora (Sirenko 2021) makes an emendation of the diagnosis of the genus Loricella necessary:
Diagnosis. Small to large sized, ovoid and broadened anteriorly; head valve large about more than twice as wide as tail valve, intermediate valves short and wide, tail valve with sinus and usually several indistinct slits, mucro terminal. Tegmentum of all species except for old specimens of L. angasi has numerous pits, which are arranged mainly in radial rows on the head valve and lateral areas and in longitudinal rows on central areas. There is a row of larger and deeper pits on each diagonal between central and lateral areas of the tegmentum in deep-water species. Pores of aesthetes are numerous on surface of tegmentum between the pits. The jugal plate is usually well developed and often separated from the apophyses by a notch, on the intermediate valves it is wide, and on the tale valve it is narrow, tooth-shaped. Slit formula 8–20/1–(rare 2)/sinus +2–8 obsolete. Narrow mantle fold and wide head. Posterior slit in girdle is present or absent. Girdle, dorsally covered with small scales with tubular hollow and rare tufts of bristles. The tufts are located on the perinotum closer to the outer margin. There are rare single scattered bristles. The hyponotum scales are elongate, rectangular and smooth. There are 14–27 gills on each side arranged from valve II or III to valve VII or VIII. Radula 1.6–4.1 mm long with 28–45 transverse rows of mature teeth in chitons of BL 9.0–26.0 mm. Central tooth of radula short, bulbous, first lateral tooth slender, with small cusp at top, head of major lateral tooth bicuspid, major uncinal tooth with rather wide blade.

Description. Dorsal-fin rays 6–7; pectoral-fin rays 13–14 (mode 14); anal-fin rays 4; caudal-fin rays 9. Teeth on vomer 6–10 (3–5 on each side); upper jaw teeth 25–45; lower jaw teeth 23–35. Head length 41.8–53.4% SL; head depth 48.7–60.3; head width 30.1–41.7; frontal width 14.0–17.0; illicial length 24.8–36.7; distance between upper jaw symphysis and origin of illicium 33.1–50.6; upper jaw length 38.0–49.9; lower jaw length 41.5–50.5.
Body short, globular, rounded to oval profile in lateral view. Mouth large, oblique. Illicium emerging from dorsal surface of head behind sphenotic spines. illicium relatively short. Esca small, its total length 33.9–54.8% SL and its width 4.0–5.3% SL; extremely elongate, unpigmented terminal papilla, its length 29.2–39.7% SL and width 2.0–4.5% SL, cylindrical and gradually tapering to a terminal cirrus; escal pore situated at postero-basal margin of terminal papilla; anterior escal appendage, 18.8–28.4% SL, single main branch or divided into two branches, each subdivided into several secondary branches and bearing numerous slender filaments; a pair of lateral escal appendages, 27.2–36.7% SL, each divided into four or five branches, each branch bearing numerous long, slender filaments; posterior appendage absent. Slender fang-like teeth on both jaws, longest teeth on upper jaw 5.3–7.8% SL; longest teeth on lower jaw 6.2–9.2% SL.
Body brownish to blackish; fin rays pale grayish to black; escal appendages variously pigmented, from colorless to slightly pigmented or uniformly transparent.
Remarks. All five Indonesian specimens have nearly identical morphological characters, except for the terminal papillae that are much longer than those of type series and more dorsal-fin rays (6 or 7 vs. all with 5 rays, except for one paratype with 6). The escal morphology varies slightly: the 44.8 mm specimen has a main branch and one additional small branch on each side; the 33.5 mm specimen has a single main branch.
The lack of an escal posterior appendage in all specimens also distinguishes it from all congeners but B. thele, which lacks all escal appendages.

Bufoceratias wedli

description: Bufoceratias cf. wedli [sensu Pietschmann, 1926]
Figs. 6 D, 9A–B
Material. HUMZ 194334 (1, 131.2), st. 66, 4°33.7'S, 109°13.4'E – 4°32.8'S, 109°11.8'E, off Sumatra, 530–582 m, 11 May 2005.
Description. Dorsal-fin rays 6; pectoral-fin rays 14; anal-fin rays 4; caudal-fin rays 9. Teeth on vomer 9 (4, 5); upper jaw teeth 40; lower jaw teeth 33. Head length 44.3% SL; head depth 52.9; head width 36.6; frontal width 17.0; illicial length 47.5; distance between upper jaw symphysis and origin of illicium 55.0; upper jaw length 39.8; lower jaw length 42.1.
Body short and globular, rounded in lateral view. Mouth large, oblique. Illicium emerging from dorsal surface of head behind sphenotic spines. Illicium relatively short. Esca moderate in size, its total length 25.7% SL and width 5.6% SL, appendages less complex than in B. shaoi; a broad-based anterior appendage, total length 21.6% SL, with four main branches, each with few secondary branches; a pair of lateral appendages, total length 26.1% SL, one with three main branches and one with four, each main branch with few secondary branches and filaments; a pair of posterior appendages, 16.2% SL, each with many short to moderately long filaments; terminal papilla stout, slightly shorter than esca, 2.7% SL, rounded and slightly expended distally, uniformly pigmented.
Slender fang-like teeth on both jaws, longest teeth on upper jaw 3.8% SL, longest teeth on lower jaw 5.3% SL.
Remarks. The presence of a pair of branched posterior appendages (total length 16.2% SL) and rounded terminal papilla that is expanded distally and fully pigmented suggest this specimen is most similar to B. wedli. However, the specimen has a very short illicium (47.5% SL), compared to that of B. wedli (99.7–147.4% SL, n=12, 19.4–127.0 mm SL), but relatively long compared to that of B. shaoi (24.8–40.0%, n=9, 33.5–101.0 mm SL).
Uwate (1979) described the development of the esca of B. wedli which displays elongation of the escal terminal papilla by 60 mm (SL) and other appendages usually developing by 40 mm with increased branching and filament elongation by 50 mm (SL). In contract, all specimens of B. shaoi (33.5–101.0 mm SL) lack the posterior appendage. Thus, the presence of posterior appendage(s) is herein recognized as a diagnostic character for B. wedli in specimens larger than 50 mm SL.
Previously B. wedli was only known from the Atlantic Ocean. The Indonesian specimen, if confirmed to be B. wedli, will represent the first and only record in the Indian Ocean.

Remarks. Males of the population from Guangxi (Fig. 7 A) have the antennomere XI with moderately prominent disc-like protuberance near base, protibiae with a small apical protuberance (Fig. 7 D), the mesotibia with a curved apical protuberance (Fig. 7 E), the abdominal sternite VII are modified (Fig. 7 F, 7G), with the apical lamina transverse, pointed at apex of lateral margin. and the aedeagus with the right paramere curved mesally, the internal sac bearing many small sclerotized spines, lacking a hairy sclerite. All these characters are similar to those of T. punctifrons Löbl, Kurbatov & Nomura, 1998, but considering of the large distributional disjunction of these two population (ca. 960 km), the identity of the specimens from Guangxi remains uncertain, pending a future examination of the male type specimen of T. punctifrons.

Afrotarus

description: Afrotarus Jeannel, 1949
Afrotarus is a polytypic genus of Cymindidina, comprising six described species distributed in East Africa, Arabia and Israel (Bousquet 2012). Ball and Hichlie (1983) treated Afrotarus as a subgenus of Cymindis, but later on in Bousquet (2012) Afrotarus is a separate genus. Afrotarus species are very similar to some members of genus Cymindis but can be differentiated from the South Arabian species of the latter by two supraorbital ridges not branched and last labial palpomeres weakly dilated at apex. From the Arabian Peninsula only Afrotarus scotti is known, which was described from Yemen by Basilewsky (1948) and then reported from Saudi Arabia (Mateu 1986). Although the holotype of A. scotti was not found, a paratype specimen from MRCA was examined and compared with Saudi materials preserved in the BMNH, which was identified by Mateu and recently collected during this work. Based on this, the Saudi specimens apparently similar to A. scotti paratype, are designated here as A. soudaensis sp. n. and A. fadli sp. n.

Paratypes: 2 males, CHINA, Guangdong, Shenzhen, 21-x-2016, coll. ZHANG Tao.
Male. This species is very similar to V. pieli pieli. There is some variation in forewings between the Fujian individual (Holotype) and Guangdong individuals (Paratypes), such as chords and dividing veins. However, these characters also exist in V. pieli pieli and V. dulcis. Thus songs, COI genes and geographic information should be considered integratively, instead of only morphology. Genitalia: similar to above species, but ectoparemere elongated and bifurcated at apex (Fig. 4A).
Female. Unknown.
Measurements (in mm).
Male: body length (to forewing) 18.14–20.65, pronotum length 3.12–3.33, forewing length 13.87–15.70, hind femur length 13.80–15.44.
Songs. The oscillograms of V. pieli monotonia are similar to that of V. pieli pieli, but the pulse number is much more (Fig. 5A).

description: Phygasia ornata species group
Diagnosis. Color (Figs 1–6) yellowish-brown, elytra black with atransverse white band at middle, and orange apex. Male antenna with antennomeres III-VII widened (Figs 7–13). Penis (Figs 14–16) in dorsal view parallel-sided, strongly narrowed subapically, apex rounded; moderately curved in lateral view. Spermatheca (Figs 20–22) with receptacle swollen; pump curved; proximal spermathecal duct wide. Sternite VIII (Figs 23–25) weakly sclerotized at apex, with several short setae along apical border. Spiculum slender. Gonocoxa (Figs 17-19) weakly sclerotized basally, apex widely rounded, with three to five long setae at outer side, two or three long setae at apex. Bursa sclerites present in P. diluta and P. ornata. Phygasia ornata with one pair of bursa-sclerites, each with single seta. Number and size of bursa-sclerites vary greatly in P. diluta. Some individuals with only one pair of bursa-sclerites bearing single seta; others with two pairs of bursa sclerites, dorsal pair (Figs 27 a, 28a) better developed, with three or four prominent setae, base well-developed; ventral pair (Figs 27 b, 28b) with one to three prominent setae but base weakly-sclerotized.
Note. Members of Phygasia ornata species group can be distinguished by the color pattern: yellowish-brown head, pronotum, and venter; and the black elytron with a white spot at middle, and the orange elytral apex. No other species group has so far been recognized in Phygasia.
Although female genitalic structures are very similar in members of this species group, most of them, except gonocoxa, are diagnostic. Gonocoxa (Figs 17–19) is not diagnostic as the number of setae on apex and outer side are highly variable.

Distribution. New Caledonia, Loyalty Ridge (760–770m: Sirenko 2008), New Zealand, North Island (540– 554: this study)
Remarks. The studied specimen (NMNZ M.319766) from New Zealand is similar to the type specimens in shape and the sculpture of the valves. All valves of this specimen were damaged in the same way as most of the type specimens from New Caledonia (Sirenko 2008), which indicates a significant fragility of the shell in this species. The specimen has a slit formula of 14/1(rare 2)/sinus + 7 obsolete, one intermediate valve with two slits, 27 gills in each side extending from valve III to valve VIII, and nephridiopore and gonopore arranged between 4–5 and 6–7 gills accordingly counted from the last one.
Loricella eernissei differs markedly from the other species of the genus by having white and very fragile valves, and a smooth dorsal surface of the valves.

Description. Dorsal-fin ray 5; pectoral-fin rays 16 (right side)/17 (left side); anal-fin rays 4; caudal-fin rays 9. Head length 35.8% SL; head depth 42.7; head width 18.5; illicial length 65.5.
Body short, compressed, profile oval in lateral view. Head very high, becoming gradually narrower posteriorly to caudal peduncle. Sphenotic spines less developed, directed upward. Papillae well developed on snout and chin. One hundred dermal spines on body, 3 on pectoral-fin base (left side missing). Teeth less numerous compared to other congeners examined in this study, about 3 rows on upper jaw and 4 rows on lower jaw, those on lower jaw larger than those on upper jaw. Vomerine teeth not detectable. Dermal spines covering on illicial stem (except for the base), more scattered on esca, with posterior and distal appendages naked.
Esca with only single distal appendage, length 6.1% SL, and single posterior appendage, length 7.8% SL; both appendages undivided proximally and bifurcated distally, those branches simple. Pair of short simple appendages on illicial stem.
Body dark brown, papillae on median portions of snout and chin pale or less pigmented. Distal and posterior appendages darkly pigmented except for semi-transparent tips.
Distribution. Previously known from eastern Pacific Ocean off California and central north Pacific Ocean off Hawaii. New record from eastern Indian Ocean off Indonesia. Bathymetric range not available previously, whereas the Indonesian specimen was taken at a depth of 814 m.
Remarks. The original description was based on two specimens, a third specimen was recorded by Pietsch (2009).
