Chthamalus

description: Genus Chthamalus Ranzani, 1817
Type species: Chthamalus stellatus (Poli, 1791) by original designation.
Diagnosis: Wall of six plates, rostrum and carina provided with alae, rostrolaterals without alae, parietes and radii not permeated by pores, basis membranous.
Fossil species: In addition to the three species of Chthamalus from the Middle Miocene of the faluns of Touraine, the extinct Chthamalus are: C. stellatus from the Pleistocene of Italy and Chthamalus ligusticus De Alessandri, 1894 from the Pliocene of Italy, both described by De Alessandri (1894).
The taxonomic attribution of the other extinct Chthamalus has been revised. Bosquet (to Schlüter, 1887) has declared that Chthamalus darwini Bosquet, 1857 (Maastrichtian, Limburg, Germany) is conspecific with a Recent species (see Jagt & Carriol submitted). De Alessandri (1894) has concluded that the two species described by Locard (1878), C. stellatus (Miocene, Drôme, France) and Chthamalus revilei Locard, 1878 (Middle Miocene, Rhône, France), are not Chthamalus: the former is Balanus stellaris (Brocchi, 1814) and the latter cannot be attributed to the genus Chthamalus. I agree with him, I have examined the specimen of C. revilei (held in the collections of the Muséum d’Histoire naturelle de Lyon, Rhône, France) and it shows tubiferous parietes and radii. Furthermore, after Ortmann (1902), the species Chthamalus antiquus Philippi, 1887, recorded from Miocene of Chile, is in fact Solidobalanus varians (Sowerby, 1846).
Therefore, Chthamalus species from the faluns of Touraine represent the earliest known representatives of the genus.
The extinct species of Chthamalus cannot be included in the classification of the extant ones, as this classification is based on characters of the cirri and trophy, which do not fossilize.

Chthamalus nasus

description: Chthamalus nasus sp. nov.
Fig. 2 (9a–10)
Diagnosis: Scutum much longer than broad, apex with a prominent blunt point, tergal margin sinuous.
Etymology: Morphological, alluding to the nose like apex of the scutum (nasus = nose in Latin).
Occurrence: Ferrière-Larçon, Pauvrelay (Paulmy commune), Indre-et-Loire, France; faluns of Middle Miocene age.
Material: Holotype: MNHN A25744 left scutum. Paratype: MNHN A25745 right scutum.
Measurements: Holotype MNHN A25744: occludent margin 1.7 mm. Paratype MNHN A25745: occludent margin 1.3 mm.
Description: Scutum triangular with basal margin nearly as long as tergal margin, apex with prominent blunt point; externally ornamented with fine growth ridges on lower part, corroded on upper part; articular ridge extending beyond tergal margin forming median prominence; articular furrow rather broad, not deep; pit for adductor muscle round, shallow; pit for depressor muscle lacking; internal surface with some blind tubes.
Affinities: The prominent, bluntly pointed apex of the scutum of C. nasus sp. nov. can be distinguished from all the others species of Chthamalus.

description: In the LEAP (Low Pressure Steam Heat Pump) project, the integration of heat pump systems for for low-pressure steam supply is being investigated in detail on the basis of the processes of the two industrial partners Lenzing AG and Austrotherm GmbH. For this purpose, possible integration points are identified and the most promising ones are selected for more further analysis. The integration of heat pumps into industrial processes is often complex, as they are usually integrated into existing processes. Therefore, the optimal process integration determines the efficiency of the measure. The investigations will also provide the basis for upscaling in order to exploit the full waste heat potential at the industrial sites under consideration. Furthermore, the investigations in the LEAP project should provide the basis for the development of new business models.

Non: De Alessandri 1906 b, p. 290, pl. 9 fig. 32a–b; De Alessandri 1907, p. 197, fig. 9.
Type locality: Miocene from the Jardin des Plantes of Lyon and from the Balmes of Saint-Fons, Rhône, France.
Occurrence: Ferrière-Larçon, Indre-et-Loire, France; faluns of Middle Miocene age.
Material: MNHN A24748: left scutum.
In addition to the figured scutum, some unregistered plates have been observed: a rostrum, two pieces of undetermined plates, and a carina.
Measurements: MNHN A24748: occludent margin 4.0 mm, basal margin 2.7 mm.
Description: Scutum: exterior without radial furrow, too eroded to estimate prominence of growth ridges; interior: articular ridge not extending beyond tergal margin; articular furrow thin, shallow; adductor ridge very prominent, separated from articular ridge, crossing plate from apex to basal margin; pit for adductor muscle well-marked, oval, shallow depression; lateral depressor muscle and rostral muscle pits with conspicuous crests.
Discussion: The oldest representative of Tesseropora is T. isseli (De Alessandri, 1894) from the Oligocene of Italy. Two species have been previously recorded in France: T. dumortieri (Fischer, 1866), Miocene, Rhône and Isère; T. sulcata Carriol, 1993, Pliocene, Manche. These two species can be distinguished from each other only by the morphology of the scutum (Carriol 1993).
Tesseropora specimens previously found from the Middle Miocene of the faluns of Touraine (Carriol 2005) consist of two scuta and a lateral plate, but the poor preservation of the two scuta did not allow a specific attribution of these specimens. With the discovery of a scutum from Ferrière-Larçon, the specific assignment of the Tesseropora from the faluns of Touraine is established.
Stratigraphic and geographic range: Miocene (France: Rhône and Isère), Middle Miocene (France, faluns of Touraine).

description: Genus Actinobalanus Moroni, 1967
Type species: Actinobalanus actinomorphus (Moroni, 1952) by original designation.
Diagnosis (after Zullo & Perreault 1989): Parietes monolamellar, solid, smooth or costate; parietal ribs not denticulate; radii solid, narrow to broad, disparietal or paraparietal (fine striations present on sutural edges of A. dolosus Darwin, 1854 a); basis calcareous, tubiferous; interior of scutum and tergum usually rugose; scutal adductor ridge present; no callus between scutal adductor and articular ridges; scutal depressor muscle pit absent or small and deep, without crests; tergal spur narrow to broad, short, usually acuminate, basally rounded or subtruncate, with spur fasciole.
Remark: The Actinobalanus specimens, generally eroded, from Pauvrelay and Ferrière-Larçon consist of disarticulated capitular plates and dissociated opercular plates, of which the latter belong to A. bisulcatus (Darwin, 1854a) and A. collinsi Zullo & Perreault, 1989. In this condition, the specific assignment of the capitular plates cannot be established.
Discussion: Actinobalanus dolosus has been reported by Lecointre (1910) from the Middle Miocene of the faluns of Touraine. This record is based on three shells without opercular plates. Zullo & Perreault (1989) do not consider them valid, firstly because the specimens are unidentifiable without opercular plates, and secondly because they are considerably older than Darwin’s Middle-Upper Pliocene English records. Carriol (1992) agreed with this assessment. However, to be absolutely sure that these specimens do not belong to A. dolosus, it is necessary to check the lack of striations on the sutural edges of their radii. Lecointre’s published description gives no enlightenment on this point, because it simply comprises a translation of Darwin’s (1854a) description of some Middle-Upper Pliocene English specimens rather than a description of his new material. A re-examination and description of the material is required, although the present author has been unable to locate Lecointre’s material. Material subsequently sampled has yielded numerous opercular plates of A. collinsi and three of A. bisulcatus, but none of A. dolosus, and numerous capitular plates without striations on the sutural edges of the radii, which are not capitular plates of A. dolosus. If the specimens assigned by Lecointre to A. dolosus are Actinobalanus, they may be A. bisulcatus or A. collinsi. There does not appear to be any justification for maintaining A. dolosus in the cirripede fauna from the faluns of Touraine.

Type locality: Corraline Crag, Ramsholt, Gedgrave, Sutton, England.
Occurrence: Ferrière-Larçon and Pauvrelay (Paulmy commune), Indre-et-Loire, France, faluns of Middle Miocene age.
Material: MNHN A24749: left scutum.
In addition to the figured scutum, two unregistered scuta, from Paulmy, have been observed.
Measurements: MNHN A24749: occludent margin 2.6 mm, tergal margin 1.5 mm. Other scutum: occludent margin 2.9 mm, tergal margin 1.5 mm.
Diagnosis (after Zullo & Perreault, 1989): Parietes smooth or markedly costate; radii narrow or broad, disparietal, scutum with two to four external longitudinal furrows; scutal adductor ridge prominent, length greater than one-half length of occludent margin; scutal articular ridge not extending beyond tergal margin; tergal spur very short, less than one-tenth length of plate, broad, occupying one-half width of basal margin, subtruncate basally, nearly confluent with basiscutal angle; juncture of spur and carinal side of basal margin arcuate.
Remarks: The capitular plates of A. bisulcatus cannot be distinguished from those of A. collinsi. However, the scuta, characteristic of the species with their external longitudinal furrows (two and three furrows for the specimens from Paulmy and three for the one from Ferrière-Larçon), conform to the diagnosis.
Stratigraphic and geographic range: Burdigalian (France: Cestas, Aquitain basin; Faucon-Mollans- Malaucène basin), Middle Miocene (France, faluns of Touraine), Pliocene (England, Coralline Crag, Sutton; France, Rauville and Gourbesville, Cotentin; Belgium, Bolderberg, near Hasselt, and Karrendijke formation).
This is the first record of Balanus bisulcatus from the Middle Miocene.

Type locality: Borgerhout (Berchem Formation, Edegem sands, Metro works spoil heaps) Antwerp, Belgium.
Occurrence: Ferrière-Larçon and Pauvrelay (Paulmy commune), Indre-et-Loire, France, faluns of Middle Miocene age.
Material: MNHN A24750: left scutum. MNHN A24751: right tergum.
In addition to the figured specimens, numerous unregistered opercular plates have been observed.
Measurements: MNHN A24750: occludent margin 3.2 mm, tergal margin 1.8 mm, basal margin 2.2 mm. MNHN A24751: scutal margin 2.5 mm, basal margin 2.5 mm.
Diagnosis (after Zullo & Perreault, 1989): Parietes usually coarsely costate; radii narrow, disparietal; scutum thick, without external radial ornament; scutal adductor ridge short, prominent, centrally located; scutal articular ridge extending well beyond tergal margin; tergum thick, narrow, with straight scutal margin produced into broad shelf; tergal spur short, acuminate, occupying less than one-third width of basal margin; juncture of tergal spur with carinal side of basal margin arcuate.
Remarks: The capitular plates of A. collinsi cannot be distinguished from those of A. bisulcatus. However, the opercular plates conform to the diagnosis.
Stratigraphic and geographic range: Lower Miocene, Belgium (known only from the type locality); Middle Miocene, France (faluns of Touraine).
The record of A. collinsi from the Middle Miocene of France extends the stratigraphic range and the geographic distribution of this species, which was previously known only in the Lower Miocene of Belgium.

Acasta

description: Genus Acasta Leach, 1817
Type species: Acasta spongites (Poli, 1791) by original designation.
Diagnosis (after Kolbasov, 1993): Basis deeply cupshaped, rarely flat, circular margin, often bearing small teeth; internal surface smooth, without six radial ribs. Wall plates usually with longitudinal, internal ribs; in some species, wall plates separated by splits or windows covered by delicate membrane. Carinolaterals developed normally. Some species Scutum with or without radial striae. Cirral armature variable, segments of anterior ramus of cirrus IV bearing hooks, or thorns, or lacking either.
Species included: Twenty-seven extant species have been retained in the genus by Kolbasov (1993). One species also has fossil representatives: A. spongites (Poli, 1791) from the Pliocene of France (De Alessandri 1907) and Italy (Moroni 1952). There are seven extinct species: A. undulata Darwin, 1854 a (Upper Pliocene, England); A. hebertiana Millet, 1866 (Miocene and Redonien, Maine-et-Loire, France); A. muricata Seguenza, 1876 (Pliocene, Italy); A. fischeri Locard, 1877 (Miocene, Corsica, France); A. sarda De Alessandri, 1894 (Oligocene, Sicilia, Italy); A. formae De Alessandri, 1897 (Miocene, Italy); A. cf cyathus Darwin, 1854a from Miocene of Victoria, Australia (Buckeridge 1985).
A. schafferi De Alessandri, 1910 cannot be retained in Acasta as the structure of the parietes does not agree with the diagnosis of the genus. It would appear that De Alessandri (1910) described older specimens, which have the exterior surface of the parietes destroyed, with furrows, remains of longitudinal tubes similar to those of Balanus perforatus.

description: Acasta vesiculosa sp. nov.
Fig. 3 (3–6)
Etymology: Morphologic, an allusion to the calcareous vesicles of the sheath.
Occurrence: Ferrière-Larçon and Pauvrelay (Paulmy commune), Indre-et-Loire, France, faluns of Middle Miocene age.
Diagnosis: Shell with carinal and lateral sheath vesicular; carinal sheath adhering to the wall in the middle of its basal edge.
Material: Type material. Holotype: MNHN A24752 carina. Paratypes: MNHN A24753 carino-lateral; MNHN A24754 lateral; MNHN A24755 carino-lateral. Additional material. Fragments of 8 carinae, 11 carino-laterals and 6 laterals.
Measurements: Paratype MNHN A24753 height of the middle of the plate 5.9 mm. Paratype MNHN A24754 height of the middle of this broken plate 3.1 mm.
Description: Shell white; parietes externally with knobs, basis of much longer, hollow, upward curving thorns sloping downward, internally slightly ribbed; radii and alae not very wide, upper edge very oblique; sutural edge of radii smooth; sheath broad, transversally striated, with basal edge free from wall in laterals and carino-laterals, not in carinae where central part of basal edge goes down, adhering to wall; sheath of carinae and laterals composed of irregular, thin-walled calcareous vesicles.
Whole specimen unavailable, general shape and relative proportional width of parietes of carino-laterals unknown; Opercular plates and rostrum unknown.
Affinities: Extinct Acasta may be distinguished from A. vesiculosa sp. nov. in the lack of a vesicular sheath. They also differ as follows: A. sarda is higher with external surface of the parietes with horizontal thorns; A. formae is higher, with upper edge of the radii parallel to the basis; A. undulata, a large species, has compartments rather externally smooth; A. muricata lacks striae on the internal surface of the parietes; A. fischeri has the upper edges of the radii and alae parallel to the basal edge of the plates; A. spongites has edges of the radii slightly crenated, A. cyathus has very wide radii.
In light of the absence of the holotype and an incomplete description, the taxonomic placement of A. hebertiana cannot be confirmed.

Diagnosis: Paries exteriorly with protuberances.
Etymology: Morphological, alluding to protuberances (nod in Latin) of the paries;
Occurrence: Pauvrelay (Paulmy commune), Indre-et-Loire, France; faluns of Middle Miocene age.
Material: Holotype: MNHN A25755 right lateral plate.
Measurements: Holotype, MNHN A25755: height of the middle of the plate 1.8 mm.

description: Genus Diostracus Loew, 1861
Diagnosis
The genus is very polymorphic and characterized by the following combination of characters: body dark and stout, medium- to large-sized; palpus usually enlarged, loosely applied on proboscis; proboscis bulky; antennal scape glabrous or setose dorsally; arista-like stylus usually dorsal, sometimes basodorsal or subapical to apical; posterior mesonotum flattened; acrostichal setae absent; 4–6 dorsocentral bristles variable in length; sutural and postsutural, some notopleural, supra-alar and post-alar bristles sometimes absent or reduced; scutellum with 1–2 pairs of strong bristles and with some short lateral setae or hairs, sometimes with three pairs of long bristles; mid and hind coxae without bristle on the outer side; legs often modified; tarsi with more or less modified empodium and claws, usually without pulvilli; wing elongate and wide, sometimes modified in males; costa ended beyond tip of wing; crossvein dm-cu longer than distal section of CuA 1 vein, sometimes strongly sinuate; M 1+2 usually slightly convex anteriorly, often irregularly curved, more or less parallel to R
4+5
, at least partly behind dm-cu.
Remarks
The genus Sphyrotarsus Mik, 1874 includes 5 species from the European Alps, one Caucasian species and one Pamiran species. It was diagnosed by scape glabrous dorsally; tarsi with reduced empodium and without pulvilli; M
1+2
and R
4+5
are not strictly parallel to each other (Parent 1938); scutellum with 3 pairs of bristles (Negrobov 1978). Furthermore, the Pamiran subgenus Takagia Negrobov, 1973 (of Sphyrotarsus), was diagnosed by elongated antennal postpedicel with arista apical, somewhat widened at apex in male; sutural bristle absent; one supra-alar bristle; scutellum with 2 pairs of bristles (Negrobov 1973, 1978). Nevertheless, all these characters are rather variable and can be found in East Asian species of Diostracus. The monotypic Caucasian genus Lagodechia Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1996 was diagnosed also by variable characters of face, mesonotal setation, wing venation and morphology of abdomen (Negrobov & Tsurikov 1996). In addition, some characters of L. spinulifera were incorrectly described, as follows from the illustrations published by Grichanov et al. (2011a, b). I think the diagnostic characters of these taxa have low generic significance and regard Lagodechia, Sphyrotarsus and Takagia (now Ozmena Özdikmen, 2010) as subgenera of Diostracus. Accepting a new concept of the genus, I associate 97 species with Diostracus, of which 64 occur in the Oriental Region, 30 in the Palaearctic and 3 in the Nearctic Region. The flies of the genus are all torrenticolous in habitat.

Diagnosis
At present the nominotypical subgenus differs from other subgenera in having a dorsally setose antennal scape. It is worth noting that many Asian Diostracus species were described with a glabrous scape (e.g., Saigusa 1984, 1995; Saigusa et al. 1997; Yang et al. 2011).
