description: Amynthas aff. hupeiensis (Michaelsen, 1891)
Material examined. 1 adult, NCHUZOOL 13502, Dong-ao, Su-ao, Ilan Co., Taiwan, coll. Jung-Hsiang Lee, 1 Jan. 2005.
Diagnosis. Dimensions 163 mm by 8.3 mm in x, 9.7 mm in xxv, 8.3 mm in clitellum; body cylindrical throughout, segments 133. Setae regularly distributed around segmental equators; 18 setae between male pores Prostomium, epilobic, with tongue open. Unpigmented. First dorsal pore at 11/12. Clitellum annular, xiv–xvi. Female pore single on xiv. Genital markings posteriorly with male pores on xviii, another behind setal line of xvii. Spermathecal pores ventral at 6/7–8/9, without genital marking.
Remarks. Amynthas aff. hupeiensis has first dorsal pore at 11/12 and spermathecal pores at 6/7–8/9 of ventral intersegmental furrows which are similar to A. hupeiensis (Michaelsen, 1891). However, A. aff. hupeiensis has genital markings on xvii and xviii, but A. hupeiensis has marking raised before and behind each male pore at intersegmental furrows of 17/18 and 18/19. Because only one specimen was collected, further sampling in this area will be undertaken to confirm its status.

title: Eliminations across the peri-gap : peri-substitution as a means to promote kinetically disfavoured reactivity

description: While the ability of peri-substitution to stabilise species that are typically short-lived is well documented, its capacity to promote kinetically disfavoured reactivity is less well known. In this work, we examine the ability of the rigid scaffold to enhance reactions that would typically require the addition of an external catalyst, particularly coupling reactions. The spontaneous dehydrocoupling of a primary arsine to give the first arsanylidene–s⁴–phosphorane was recently published by the Kilian group, but its mechanism was unknown. Based on experimental observations, a stepwise ionic mechanism is proposed, and indirect evidence for this mechanism is obtained by chemically mimicking the proposed pathway through hydride abstraction and deprotonation. In the process, a new route to the previously published phosphanylidene–s⁴–phosphorane is found, and the first examples of arsino-phosphonium and phosphino-phosphonium salts with secondary arsine/phosphine moieties are obtained. A series of peri-substituted phosphine-borane adducts were found to undergo a spontaneous P–B dehydrocoupling reaction, occurring at room temperature and in the absence of a catalyst. This is the first example of this reaction occurring under such mild conditions, and highlights the ability of peri- substitution to substantially lower the kinetic barrier to certain reactions. A thermally induced “dealkacoupling” reaction, eliminating a C–H coupled product with formation of a P–P/P–As bond, has been observed in peri-substituted phosphines and arsines. This reaction appears to be unique in the context of the literature, and was surprisingly facile, occurring under relatively mild conditions and essentially quantitatively with 100% diastereoselectivity in the products. Kinetic studies on a representative reaction reveal it to have a low activation barrier (Δ[super]‡ H° = +57 ± 7 kJ mol⁻¹), and suggest the mechanism is radical in nature. The reaction likely relies on peri-substitution to stabilise the radical intermediates of the reaction. This concept was then extended to C-heteroatom couplings. A selection of peri-substituted substrates were found to undergo P–P coupling, with apparent elimination of C–O and C–S coupled products. GC analysis revealed that C–S coupling does indeed occur with these systems, although there are competing side reactions. A variety of arsenic and antimony coupling precursors were also synthesised and characterised.

Pheretima morrisi — Chen 1931: 118, fig. 9; 1933: 267; Gates 1968: 253; 1972: 202. Amynthas morrisi— Sims & Easton 1972: 236, fig. 1A, 1H; Blakemore 2003: 7; Blakemore et al. 2006: 228; Tsai et al. 2009: 40.
Material examined. 2 adults, NCHUZOOL 13503, 23°10’54.2”N, 121°01’ 22.1E, 832 m, Lidao, Haiduan, Taitung Co., Taiwan, coll. Y.-H.

Diagnosis. Dimensions 94–104 mm by 4–4.9 mm in x, 3.5–4.2 mm in xxx, 3.4–4.7 mm in clitellum; body cylindrical throughout, segments 91–120. Setae regularly distributed around segmental equators; 6–9 setae between male pores. Prostomium, epilobic. Unpigmented. First dorsal pore at 11/12. Clitellum annular, xiv– xvi, smooth. Female pore single on xiv (Fig. 5 a). Male pores on xviii. Male pores with 2 close genital markings, lateral to male pores, forming equilateral triangle (Fig. 5 a). Spermathecal pores, ventral, most individuals at 5/6–6/7, in segment furrow, not readily visible; genital markings occasionally present on vi (Fig. 5 a). Intestinal caeca simple, originating in xxvii, extending anteriorly to xxiii (Fig. 5 d). Prostates in xviii, 3 main lobes, ducts thick, muscular (Fig. 5 c). Spermathecae paired in vi and vii; polydiverticulum (Fig. 5 b).
Remarks. Specimens of A. aff. morrisi in our study are very similar to A. morrisi (Beddard, 1892), but there are several distinct characters. Chen (1931) described A. morrisi with the first dorsal pore at 10/11 or 11/ 12, spermathecal pores at 5/6–6/7, male pores with flat-topped markings on xviii, and usually 2 small similar ones medial to it. Gates (1972) recorded some abnormal A. morrisi specimens with variable numbers of spermathecae. Spermatheca numbers of A. aff. morrisi in our study were also variable: absent (NCHUZOOL 13506), 1 pair (NCHUZOOL 13503), and 2 pairs (NCHUZOOL 13504-13505). The male pores with 2 close genital markings lateral to the male pores form an equilateral triangle (Fig. 5), which differs from those of A. morrisi in the position of genital markings. Further study is necessary to clarify the status of this species.

DESCRIPTION
Test long, slender, very slowly incerasing in width and height distally with six post-abdominal segments. Cephalothorax dome-shaped, probably without horn, poreless, collar stricture indistinct. Lumbar stricture and other strictures prominent, marked by relatively deep depressions and mainly poreless. Abdomen to post-abdominal segments hoop-like, mainly covered by veneer of thick, microgranular silica with scattered, small, subcircular pores. Two rows of pores (15-16 pores at one row on half a circumference) can be seen just above and below septa located at strictures when silica accumulation is not prominent. REMARKS
This species differs from Canoptum merum (Pessagno &Whalen 1982: 124, pl. 1, figs 1, 15, 16, 20; pl. 12, fig. 11) by a having a more slender test covered by prominent silica accumulation, fewer scattered pores and abdomen to last post-abdominal segments hoop-like instead of trapezoidal in outline.

DESCRIPTION
Test spindle-shaped, multicyrtid with six post-abdominal segments. Test increasing in width gradually up to the third post-abdominal segment, then the last three segments are decreasing in width. Cephalothorax hemisphaerical, mainly poreless. Abdomen to third post-abdominal segment hooplike and strictures between these segments less-prominent, marked only by very shallow depressions. Strictures between third to sixth post-abdominal segments not visible. Because of dense silica accumulation, only small scattered pores are visible on the surface of test. When accumulation of silica is not prominent, two rows of pores can be seen around strictures. On wider part of test, corresponding to the third postabdominal segment, 16 pores are visible in one row.
REMARKS
This taxon can be differentiated from other species of the genus Canoptum Pessagno by having the spindle-shaped last three segments without superficial strictures.

Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbil
Gerbilliscus gambianus
French: Gerbille de Gambie / German: Gambia-Nacktsohlenrennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Sahel de Sudan
Other common names: Gambian Gerbil
Taxonomy. Tatera gambiana Thomas, 1910,
“Marakissa, [Gambia]; alt. 500”
[= 152 m].”
Initially synonymized with G. kempii or G. validus by some authors, G. gambianus was restored to full species status by R. Matthey and F. Petter in 1970 on basis of chromosomal study, an opinion followed by B. Hubert and coworkers in 1973 and D. C. D. Happold in 2013. New chromosomal and molecular studies by V. T. Volobouev and colleagues and by P. Colangelo and team, both in 2007, and by L. Granjon and coworkers in 2012 confirmed its validity. Monotypic.
Distribution. Sahelo-Sudanian savannas in W & S Senegal, SW Mali, SE Niger, and extreme WC Chad.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 125-196 mm, tail 130-175 mm, ear 17-23 mm, hindfoot 27-34 mm; weight 61-193 g. The Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbil, a large gerbil, has a gray-brown dorsal pelage and a white belly. Hindfeet are bicolored, asis the tail, which is relatively short (80-105% of head-body length) and has no terminal tuft. Females bear four pairs of mammae. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 52, FNa = 64.
Habitat. The Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbil inhabits sandy soils in dry Combretum (Combretaceae) woodland and bushland savanna, as well as fallow lands and cultivated fields. It is found in mangrove sandy islands of the Saloum Delta in Senegal.
Food and Feeding. Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbils are herbivorous, granivorous, and sometimes add insects to their diet.
Breeding. After 25 days of gestation, female Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbils give birth to 2-6 offspring.
Activity patterns. The Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbil is nocturnal and terrestrial. It digs burrows at ¢.30 cm beneath the soil and with many entrances.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Home ranges of Sahelo-Sudanian Gerbils vary between 600 m? and 800 m* and the species does not move far from its territory. Males’ and females’ home ranges overlap. Up to 20 burrows can be found in the home range of an individual. Locally, abundance varies with habitat, from 15 ind/ha in woodland to 24 ind/ha in the Saloum Delta region.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List (as G. gambiana) as a result of its abundance.

Remarks. Tsai et al. (2000a) reported the first record of this species from Dongpu, Nantou Co. Then it was found in Ilan (Chen et al. 2002; Chuang et al. 2002), and even on the offshore Gueishan I. (Chen et al. 2003). James et al. (2005) collected abundant specimens from Pingtung Co., the offshore Siaoliuciou I., and Kaohsiung City. This species has a wide distribution in the world (Blakemore 2002), and it has become a dominant species in western and northeastern (Ilan Co.) Taiwan ranging from lowland cultivated lands to elevations at 1000–2000 m (Tsai et al. 2000a; Chen et al. 2002, 2003; Chuang et al. 2002; James et al. 2005). Our study extends its record to Hualien and Taitung Cos. in eastern Taiwan, showing that it has probably invaded the entire island of Taiwan. Its impacts upon the ecology (Barros et al. 2001, 2004; Tapia-Coral et al. 2006; Chen et al. 2008) and agriculture (Beare et al. 1997; Dlamini & Haynes 2004; Lafont et al. 2007) of Taiwan need to be studied in the future.

Guinean Gerbil
Gerbilliscus guineae
French: Gerbille de Guinée / German: Guinea-Nacktsohlenrennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Guinea
Other
common names: Guinea Gerbil
Taxonomy. Tatera guineae Thomas, 1910,
Gunnal, Guinea-Bissau.
Gerbilliscus guineae was considered a valid species by D. R. Rosevear in 1969, R. Mat- they and F. Petter in 1970, P. J. J. Bates in 1985, I. Ya. Pavlinov in 1997, and J. C. Gautun and colleagues in 1985, on basis of morphological and chromosomal stud- ies. Other authors, among them D. H. S. Davis in 1975, included it in the G. robustus species group. Further morphometric, cytogenetic and molecular studies, especially those by L. Granjon in 2005, by P. Colangelo and team and V. T. Volobouev and colleagues, both in 2007, and by L. Granjon and colleagues in 2012 support treatment of G. guineae as a valid species and confirm its distribution in West Africa. Monotypic.
Distribution. W Africa, from Senegal E to C Benin.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 102-178 mm, tail 151-198 mm, ear 18-23-5 mm, hindfoot 28-38 mm; weight 45-110 g. A medium-sized to large gerbil, the Guinean Gerbil is characterized by brown-gray dorsal pelage and white venter. Long feet are white above. Bicolored hairy tail is long (c.110-140% of head-body length) and has terminal pencil of dark hairs. Females bear four pairs of mammae. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 50, FNa = 64.
Habitat. Guinean and Sudanian woodland savanna. The Guinean Gerbil can live in lateritic to claysoils with sufficient grass and bush cover. It is found also in fallow lands and cultivated fields.
Food and Feeding. Guinean Gerbils are probably herbivorous, with predominance of seeds, and occasional inclusion of some insects.
Breeding. Reproduction seems to be more marked during rainy season and beginning of dry season. Each female may bear 4-6 embryos.
Activity patterns. Guinean Gerbils are nocturnal and terrestrial. They dig deep burrows (up to 50 cm beneath soil surface) with many entrances, which are concealed by soil during day.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Guinean Gerbils have large home ranges (1400-1500 m?) and do not move far (average distance between two captures of
same individual was 21 m). There are no data abouttheir behavior. They are not very abundant: 4 ind/ha counted in Senegal savannas.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Guinean Gerbil faces no major threats and has a large range.

French: Gerbille de Giffard / German: Giffard-Nacktsohlenrennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Giffard
Taxonomy. Tatera giffardi Wroughton, 1906,
Gambaga, Ghana.
Initially synonymized with G. kempii by some authors, G. giffardi was restored to full species status by L.. Granjon and col- leagues in 2012 and treated as valid by A. Monadjem and coworkers in 2015. It is distinguished by a unique chromosomal formula, as identified by V. T. Volobouev and colleagues in 2007, and is distinct also on molecular grounds. It is sister taxon of
G. guineae and is distant from G. kempii. Monotypic.
Distribution. Known from a few scattered localities in Sudano-Guinean woodland savannas in E Guinea, Ivory Coast, Ghana, SW Niger, and Benin; it probably occurs more widely in W Africa.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 145 mm,tail 172 mm, ear 17-23 mm, hindfoot 33 mm; weight 111 g. A large gerbil, Giffard’s Gerbil has a tail slightly longer (120%) than head-body length and with a discrete terminal tuft. Chromosomal complementis 2n = 46, FN = 64.
Habitat. Savanna woodlands.
Food and Feeding. Like other representatives of the genus, Giffard’s Gerbilis probably herbivorous and granivorous, with occasional addition ofinsects to diet.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Giffard’s Gerbil is probably nocturnal and terrestrial, and digs burrows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Not assessed on The IUCN Red List.

Laxtorum sp. – Aita & Spörli 1992: pl. 5, fig. 12.
HOLOTYPE. — Sample Orbuk-32, HU.JMB.0157 (Fig. 12D).
PARATYPES. — HU.JMB.0158 (Fig. 12G), HU.JMB159 (Fig. 12H), JMB.0160 (Fig. 12I), HU.JMB161 (Fig. 12J).
TYPE LOCALITY. — Orbuklukeli section, Mersin Mélange, NW of Mersin city, southern Turkey.
ETYMOLOGY. — From the Latin brevis-e – short, brief, due its short shell.
OCCURRENCE. — Lower Jurassic, lower Sinemurian of Auckland, New Zealand and Orbuklukeli section, Mersin Mélange, NW of Mersin city, southern Turkey.
DIMENSIONS (based on seven specimens, in µm). — Length of horn: 84-120 (holotype: 100, average: 105.7); Maximum length of test: 132-158 (holotype: 158, average: 141.1); Maximum width of test: 120-168 (holotype: 125, average: 136.1).
DESCRIPTION
Test short with three post-abdominal segments. Cephalis hemisphaerical with a long horn. Horn needle-like, subcircular in transversal section, slightly decreasing in width distally and terminated in a sharp end. Rest of the test increasing in width very slowly, and decreasing in width at last segment. Collar, lumbar and following strictures not prominent, not visible at the surface of test. Surface of test covered with thick layer of silica with irregular surface. Test bears circular to subcircular pores of different sizes.
REMARKS
This species differs from Laxtorum hemingense Whalen & Carter in Carter et al. (1998: 80, pl. 25, figs 6-8, 13, 14,
24, 25; pl. 27, figs 5, 6, 16, 20) by having a shorter test with
very long horn and indistinct circumferential ridges. It can be differentiated from Laxtorum obscurum Tekin, n. sp. by possessing a thin, long horn and longer test with more segments.
