Material examined. RMNH Por. 9824, Suriname, ‘Luymes’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station 1, 7.1667°N 53.5833°W, depth 104–130 m, bottom sandy calcarenite, 24 August 1970.
Description. Cushion-shaped sponge (Fig. 66 a) with characteristic ‘cut-off’ fistules spread over the surface. Size of single specimen 3 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm, individual fistules 2–4 mm in diameter. Color in alcohol orange–beige. Surface overgrown by sponges, bryozoans, vermetids and serpulids. Consistency hard.
Skeleton. (Figs 66 b–c) At the surface there is a special, dense, tightly interlocking mass of knobby desmas (Fig. 66 b), overlying a more open choanosomal skeleton of rhizoclone desmas (Fig. 66 c) with smooth cladi provided with strongly tuberculated zygomes. Bundles of exotyles are arranged at right angles to and slightly protruding from the surface.
Spicules. (Figs 66 b–d) Desmas, exotyles.
Rhizoclone desmas, of the surface skeleton (Fig. 66 b) 150–200 µm diameter, tuberculated but tending to be smooth at the parts facing outwards.
Rhizoclone desmas of the choanosome (Fig. 66 c) 200–300 µm in diameter, smooth part of the cladi 30–50 µm in diameter, zygomes approximately 100 µm.
Exotyles (Figs 66 d,d1), tylostyle-like but with heads protruding outwards and rugose or irregularly spined, pointed ends occasionally wispy or bluntly rounded, in a large size range, 252– 313 –438 x 3.5– 5.3 –7.5 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Florida, Barbados, SE Brazil, (reported also from E Atlantic and Mediterranean), hard sandy bottom at 104–439 m (previously 150–439 m).
Remarks. A widespread species in the Central West Atlantic (common at 150 m off Barbados, rare elsewhere). It is reported along the SE Brazilian coast at 30°S and also—if the same species—at greater depths in the Azores and the Mediterranean. Size of the exotyles varies among the localities, but the holotype (measurements of Mothes & Silva 1999, table 1) and the present measurements are in the same range. The Azores specimen described by Topsent (1904) had exotyles of 800– 1000 x 4–6 µm, distinctly longer than the known Caribbean measurements. Further research must establish if S. ramosum may have been erroneously reported from the East Atlantic.

Gryllacrididae

description: Tribe Progryllacridini Cadena-Castañeda, 2019
Comments. This tribe was established in the recent monograph on the Gryllacrididae classification. It is characterized by its small-size, robust hind femur, male subgenital plate usually with a triangular prolongation on the posterior border, in the middle of the styles, ovipositor moderately thickened and, well-curved upwards (Cadena-Castañeda, 2019).
Progryllacridini is represented by three genera comprising 13 species, Karnygryllacris Cadena-Castañeda, 2019 (with seven species from Madagascar and nearby islands), Brunnergryllacris Cadena-Castañeda, 2019 (two species from West coast of Africa between Guinea and Congo) and Progryllacris Ander, 1939 (four species from Neotropics) (Cigliano et al., 2020). The species of all these genera are long-winged, except for Progryllacris albonigra (Karny, 1929) and a new species described here. Both differ in wing development and characters of male terminalia in contrast with the other species of the tribe. Therefore, here we describe a genus to accommodate them.

description: A pervasive challenge in analyzing African economies, including Zimbabwe, lies in the dearth of reliable and consistent official statistics, as noted by Yeats (1990). Zimbabwe's Central Statistical Office (CSO), tasked with gathering national statistics, particularly on production activities, grapples with significant shortcomings. These include incomplete coverage and inaccurate estimates of the activities surveyed. Such deficiencies undermine the integrity of economic data, complicating efforts to assess and formulate effective policy interventions. This abstract addresses the critical issue of data reliability in Zimbabwe's economic analysis, highlighting the constraints imposed by deficiencies in official statistics. Drawing upon insights from Yeats (1990) and other relevant literature, the paper examines the challenges facing the CSO and their implications for economic policymaking and analysis. By elucidating the extent of incomplete coverage and inaccuracies in statistical estimates, the study seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the limitations inherent in Zimbabwe's data infrastructure.

description: Neogovea Hinton, 1938
Type species: Neogovea immsi Hinton, 1938 (by original designation)
Diagnosis (amended from Shear 1977, 1980): In Neogovea species the adenostyle ends in a brush of true setae, an appearance duplicated in other cyphophthalmids only in Metasiro americanus (Davis, 1933). No adaptation of tergite eight, the anal plate. Tergite nine is fused in corona analis. No anal glands. Coxa I is fused with coxa II and coxa II is fused with coxa III. The shape of the spermatopositor is typical (Figure 6). Neogovea species are most closely related to Metagovea species, but are easily distinguished by the shape of the spermatopositor with its extended ventral plate lacking apical setae, and the presence of a setose brush at the tip of the adenostyle.

Agelas schmidtii Wilson, 1902: 398; Van Soest & Stentoft 1988: 102, fig. 50; Parra et al. 2014: 329, fig. 12. Agelas sp. sensu Johnson 1971: 109, fig. 12.
Material examined. RMNH Por. 9794, French Guyana, ‘Luymes’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station 14, 6.7333°N 52.75°W, depth 76 m, bottom muddy calcareous sand, 26 August 1970.
Description. (Figs 71 a,a1) Tubular-repent sponges, consisting of thin-walled anastomosed branches issuing from a broader presumably buried basal part. Surface smooth but ‘pitted’ by thin-membranous patches, which may represent shrunken oscules. Color pale yellow-orange (in alcohol). Length of branches 7–12 cm, diameter 1.5 cm, wall of tubes about 3–4 mm in thickness. Consistency toughly compressible, not easily damaged.
Skeleton. A regular tightly meshed anisotropic reticulation of spongin fibers, 50–60 µm in diameter. The ascending fibers may be cored, sometimes heavily, with up to 6 spicules in diameter, the connecting fibres are usually free of coring. Both fibers are echinated profusedly.
Spicules. Verticillated acanthostyles (Figs 71 b–b2), incipient stages (Fig. 71 b3) smooth.
Acanthostyles, predominantly short and fat, the shorter spicules with prominent spines in well-separated verticils, the larger and thicker occasionally show reduction of spines and verticils, 87– 162 –218 x 7 – 15.1 –20 µm, with 8– 12.2 –14 verticils of spines.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Virgin Islands, furthermore throughout the Caribbean, NE Brazil, on hard and muddy bottoms, 1–144 m depth (Guyana Shelf, 76 m).
Remarks. The present specimens conform in all important aspects to the description of Wilson (1902), and the revision of the species by Parra et al. (2014), including the deep-water material reported by Van Soest & Stentoft (1988) from Barbados. A difference with all these descriptions is the average thickness of the acanthostyles (12.2 µm), which exceeds all previous measurements (6–8 µm). However, the thickest spicules in the present material (14 µm) are close to the maximum given by Parra et al. (1914) (13 µm). Possibly, there are environmental influences (e.g. silica content) on the development of the spicules.

Material examined. RMNH Por. 9806, Guyana, ‘Luymes’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station 65, 7.55°N 57.0833°W, depth 63 m, sandy bottom, 31 August 1970; RMNH Por. 9991, Suriname, ‘ Snellius O.C.P.S. ’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station E66, 7.1°N 56.1783°W, depth 65 m, Agassiz trawl, 13 May 1966.
Description. (Fig. 75 a) Coarse, irregular massive to digitate sponges, with microconulose, hispid, faintly grooved surface. Several oscules are visible, approximately 3 mm in diameter. Size of largest specimen 8 x 4.5 x 4 cm. Color orange-brown in alcohol. Consistency firm.
Skeleton. Cortical-radiate, with 300–500 µm wide bundles of large styles traversing the choanosome and fanning out near the surface, carrying a dense 200 µm thick cortical palisade of small oxeas. Individual long styles penetrating up to 500 µm beyond the surface.
Spicules. (Figs 75 b–d) Long and short styles/anisoxeas, oxeas.
Styles/anisoxeas, fusiform, with narrow rounded base and abruptly pointed ends, divided into two more or less distinct but slightly overlapping size categories, (1) larger (Figs 75 b,b1), 1122– 1661 – 2298 x 28 – 41.5 –54 µm, and (2) smaller (Figs 75 c,c1), 498– 663 –990 x 11 – 17.1 –26 µm.
Oxeas (Figs 75 d), straight, sharply pointed, 102– 150 –198 x 3 – 4.8 –6 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Puerto Rico, Barbados, Jamaica, sandy bottom at 25–100 m depth (Guyana Shelf 63–65 m).
Remarks. The present specimens conform closely to previous descriptions. The larger stylote spicules are called oxeas or strongyloxeas by previous authors, because of their fusiform shape, but all are similar. The size categories in these spicules distinguished here are not mentioned by previous authors, but the overall range conforms closely in all descriptions.

Hamacantha agassizi Topsent, 1920: 11, fig. 2a; Van Soest 1984: 143, fig. 56.
Material examined. RMNH Por. 9849, Suriname, ‘ Luymes O.C.P.S. II’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station M97, 7.3083°N 54.1667°W, depth 130 m, bottom coarse sand, 16 April 1969.
Description. Thickly to massively encrusting soft sponge (Fig. 78 a), growing together with other encrusting sponges, hydroids and serpulids. Size of fragmented specimen approximately 14 x 10 x 1 cm. Color in alcohol orange-brown. Surface irregularly lobulate, with detachable surface membrane spanning large subdermal spaces.
Skeleton. At the surface there is a tangential reticulation of intercrossing thin megasclere tracts, 25–40 µm (3–7 spicules) in diameter, with many microscleres interspersed. The surface skeleton is carried by plumose spicule bundles, at their base wide (230–350 µm) and with many spicules included, subdividing and thinning out (100–150 µm) towards the surface.
Spicules. (Figs 78 b–d) Styles, diancistras, sigmas.
Styles (Figs 78 b,b1), straight or curved lightly, smooth, slightly fusiform, 361– 405 –438 x 6 – 7.3 –9 µm.
Diancistras (Figs 78 c), in adult condition with fimbriae (razor-surfaces) only extensive at the apices and just below the notches (keyhole-like openings), middle part of shaft rounded; in presumed immature spicules they are elongate sigma-like without clear keyholes; size of mature spicules 119– 125 –147 µm (width approximately 40 µm), size of immature spicules 108– 124 –134 µm.
Sigmas (Figs 78 d,d1), rounded, with one of the apices bird-beak shaped, 11– 12.4 –16 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Gulf of Mexico, Jamaica, 130–151 m depth. Erroneously reported from the Azores by Van Soest (1984) (p. 144).
Remarks. The specimen agrees closely in shape and spiculation with previous descriptions by Topsent (1920) and Van Soest (1984). A second Hamacantha (Vomerula) species occurring in the Central West Atlantic, H. (V.) tenda (Schmidt, 1880) differs in possessing toxas and lacking sigmas [(cf. Topsent 1920 (p. 9), and Hajdu 2002 (p. 667)]. The sizes of the megascleres and diancistras of that species are distinctly larger than those of H. (V.) agassizi.

description: Genus Tylosigma Topsent, 1894
Remark. The genus Tylosigma was synonymized with Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) in the Systema Porifera (chapter Hymedesmiidae by Van Soest 2002b), but it is here proposed to be revived as a valid genus. The discovery of a second species with similar characters as the type species H. campechiana Topsent, 1889, and the considerable difference with Hymedesmia s.s. (no tornotes, no echinating acanthostyles) support the valid status. The definition of the genus Tylosigma needs emendation from Topsent’s original definition: Desmacellidae (?) with single tylostyles erect on the substratum, pointed ends outwardly directed, and with sigmas as microscleres.

Figures 79 a–e
Material examined. Holotype RMNH Por. 9955, Suriname, ‘ Snellius O.C.P.S. ’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station G7, 7.28°N 56.7933°W, depth 64 m, bottom sand, 7 May 1966.
Description. (Fig. 79 a) Encrusting eroded rims and holes of a dead oyster. Surface hispid-conulose. Colour in alcohol beige. Size several mm2. Consistency soft.
Skeleton. (Fig. 79 b) Single tylostyles penetrating the surface, heads embedded in the substratum. Low spicular density. Tissue crowded with sigmas.
Spicules. (Figs 79 c–e) Tylostyles, sigmas.
Tylostyles (Figs 79 c–d), curved, thin, with prominent round tyles, in a large size range, but not clearly divisible in categories, 342– 779 – 1092 x 6 – 9.1 –13 µm (diameter of tyles 8.5–15 µm).
Sigmas (Fig. 79 e), with incurved apices, one of which may be faintly rugose, 16– 21.8 –27 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, on a dead shell at 64 m depth.
Etymology. The name ‘ostrea’ (L.) means oyster, and suffix cola (Gr.) means ‘living on’ or ‘in’, together the compound name refers to its habitat.
Remarks. The new species was compared to a slide of Tylosigma campechianum (originally Hymedesmia campechiana, see Topsent 1889, p. 14, fig. 8c) in the Paris Museum, registered as MNHN D.T. 1844. The new species differs from it by the lack of a separate small category of tylostyles three/four times as short as the larger tylostyles, and a separate category of very small thick sigmas. The short tylostyles are also provided with a few microspines on the head, which is lacking in the present material. These differences appear too great to assume variability and thus I propose here a new species. Alcolado & Gotera (1986) report T. campechianum from Cuba (as Desmacella).
The two species are of uncertain affiliation, as the tylostyles remind of the genera Eurypon (Raspailiidae) or Prosuberites (Hymerhabdiidae), but these genera do not have sigmas or other sigmiform microscleres. A combination of tylostyles and sigmas is found in the family Desmacellidae and thus I propose to reassign Tylosigma to that family, until molecular analysis will have been done.

Material examined. RMNH 10545, Suriname, ‘ Snellius O.C.P.S. ’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station B23A, 7.297°N 55.3883°W, depth 99–101 m, Van Veen grab, 27 April 1966.
Examined for comparison. Slide of holotype of Coelosphaerella johnsoni, USNM 22364, First Johnson- Smithsonian Deep Sea Expedition stat. 81, coll. 26 February 1933, depth 200–400 fathoms.
Description. Tiny, elongately fistular sponge enveloping a piece of dead black coral. Size less than 3x 1 mm. Surface provided with several tiny projections less than 1 mm in height. Color (alcohol) white. Consistency fragile.
Skeleton. (Fig. 80 a) Tangential intercrossing tylotes cover the organic skin of the fistular body. No trace of choanosomal tracts was observed.
Spicules. (Figs 80 b–e) Tylotes, palmate isochelae, toxas.
Tylotes (Figs 80 b,b1), with strongly microspined apices, shaft curved, 225– 236 –249 x 4.5– 6.2 –7 µm.
Palmate isochelae (Fig. 80 c), in majority twisted, 15.5– 17.1 –19 µm.
Toxas (rare), in two size classes, (1) larger (Fig. 80 d) (n=2) 123–148 µm, and (2) smaller (Fig. 80 e) (n=3) 18–54 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Puerto Rican Deep, soft bottom and shallow cryptic habitats, in a wide depth range, 1–720 m (Guyana Shelf 99–101 m).
Remarks. Due to the scanty material and the toxas being relatively rare (these were not found on the SEM stub, only in the slide for light microscopy) the illustration is rather deficient. Nevertheless the toxas appeared to occur in larger and smaller sizes conforming to those of the type material from Puerto Rico. The type is much bigger (14 mm in diameter), but the skeleton and the spicules of the present specimens are almost the same. De Laubenfels (1934) gives the size of the tylotes as 9 by 420 µm, which is likely a misprint for 9 by 240 µm (observed in the type slide and in the present specimen), because in his remarks below the description of C. johnsoni he cites the Philippine species Coelosphaera (= Cornulum) toxifera Wilson, 1925 as having ‘much larger megascleres’ at 16 by 360 µm.
Rützler et al. ’s (2014) images and spicule measurements of a specimen from Belize are also virtually identical to the present specimen.

Material examined. RMNH Por. 10544, Suriname, ‘ Snellius O.C.P.S. ’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station B23A, 7.297°N 55.3883°W, depth 99–101 m, Van Veen grab, 27 April 1966.
Description. Small patches on dead bryozoans, together only a few mm 2 in size. Surface smooth, no openings were observed. Color (alcohol) whitish.
Skeleton. Ectosomal tangential skeleton (Fig. 85 a) of tightly packed acanthoxeas, carried by bundles of tornotes, towards the substratum replaced by long acanthostyles. Bundles echinated by small acanthostyles. Chelae scattered in the interior and occasionally occurring in the surface crust.
Spicules. (Figs 85 b–f) Acanthostyles, tornotes, acanthoxeas, isochelae.
Acanthostyles, in two size classes, (1) long, (Figs 85 b,b1) straight, spined heavily in the upper part, but more lightly towards the pointed end, 243– 277 –330 x 9 – 10.8 –13 µm, and (2) short (Fig. 85 c), stubby, spined all over, 72– 95 –111 x 6.5– 8.2 –9 µm.
Tornotes (Figs 85 d,d1), smooth, slightly different endings on opposite sides, faintly polytylote, 236– 291 –327 x 4.5– 5.7 –7.5 µm.
Acanthoxeas (Fig. 85 e), straight or slightly curved, heavily and uniformly spined, 112– 137 –159 x 5 – 7.4 –9 µm.
Arcuate isochelae (Fig. 85 f), rather narrow, with slightly incurved alae, 28– 30.9 –35 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Barbados, on muddy sand at 90–101 m depth.
Remarks. There are a few small differences between the description of the type from Barbados and the present specimen (megascleres are somewhat thinner in the type, chelae are smaller, 19–24 µm), but overall similarity is great and conspecificity obvious.

Figures 86 a–d
Material examined. Holotype RMNH Por. 10513, Suriname, ‘ Snellius O.C.P.S. ’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station F46, 6.312°N 56.57°W, depth 25–29 m, bottom sand, 7 May 1966.
Description. The holotype (Fig. 86 a) is fragmented, but assumed to have been originally a single specimen of 10 x 5 cm in lateral expansion, less than 1 cm thick. The fragments are bladder-like with an irregular undulating semitransparent surface sheet with many tiny fistules. The interior is cavernous, with few skeletal structures. Color beige-brown in alcohol. Consistency soft but elastic.
Skeleton. (Fig. 86 b) Loose choanosomal tracts of 100–150 µm diameter rise up from the substratum and fan out to carry the surface membrane.
Spicules. (Figs 86 c–d) Oxeas only.
Oxeas, straight, equidiametrical, with lance-shaped, slightly swollen sharply pointed apices; in shape and position in the skeleton there appear to be two (largely) overlapping categories, (1) shorter and thicker (Figs 86 c,c1), 134– 166 –189 x 6 – 7.3 –9 µm, and (2) longer and thinner (Figs 86 d,d1), 156– 183 –213 x 2.5– 3.4 –4.5 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, on sandy bottom at 25–29 m depth.
Etymology. The name reflects the unusual occurrence of a Pyloderma species in tropical waters.
Remarks. No other sponges with these peculiar lance-shaped oxeas are known from the Central West Atlantic. Assignment of this unusual species to the genus Pyloderma is tentative, but presently the best fit. It can only be tested by comparison of additional material and/or molecular analyses to resolve this systematic hypothesis. The type species of Pyloderma, Southern Ocean Halichondria latrunculioides Ridley & Dendy, 1886 is pear-shaped and has much larger oxeas (up to 1200 µm), but the form of the latter is also lance-shaped like in the present species (cf. Van Soest 2002a). The only other species of Pyloderma, the New Zealand P. demonstrans Dendy, 1924 has chelae and sigmas, for which reason the (presently unaccepted) genus Manawa Bergquist & Fromont, 1988 was erected. If the present species indeed belongs to Pyloderma, then resurrection of Manawa might be considered.

Description. Thinly encrusting on a dead oyster shell. Color in alcohol brown. Thickness less than 1 mm.
Skeleton. Hymedesmioid (Fig. 87 a), with long acanthostyles and short acanthostyles erect on the substratum, heads embedded in a basal spongin plate. Choanosome and surface skeleton composed of scattered tornotes.
Spicules. (Figs 87 b–d) Acanthostyles, tornotes.
Acanthostyles, in two size categories, both with heavily spined heads, (1) larger (Figs 87 b,b1) with spination gradually diminishing towards the pointed end, 135– 176 –213 x 9 – 12.2 –17 µm, and (2) smaller (Fig. 87 c) spined heavily all over, not infrequently provided with bifid pointed ends 62– 79 –121 x 6.5– 7.2 –9 µm.
Tornotes (Figs 87 d,d1), smooth, mucronate, slightly swollen pointed apices, almost symmetrical, but one end slightly thinner than the opposite end, 151– 179 –222 x 2 – 2.4 –4 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, on shells at 64 m depth.
Etymology. Named after Dr. Pedro M. Alcolado (Instituto de Oceanología, Havana, Cuba) in recognition of his lifelong dedication to ecology and taxonomy of the Cuban sponge fauna.
Remarks. No previous records of Hymedesmia (Stylopus) are known from the Central West Atlantic. Recently, a Phorbas species without chelae was described, P. aurantiacus Rützler, Piantoni, Van Soest & Díaz, 2014. Theoretically, this could be considered close or conspecific as a more mature form of the present species. However, P. aurantiacus is clearly different in possessing styliform tornotes and three separate categories of acanthostyles. Moreover, both tornotes and acanthostyles reach much higher lengths (tornotes up to 590 x 10 µm, large acanthostyles up to 410 x 21 µm) than in the present material. This makes it quite unlikely that the two are conspecific.

description: Improving the budgeting system for IT projects is a pressing issue in the modern business environment, where high competition and rapid technological changes demand effective management of costs and resources. The purpose of this research is to enhance the budgeting system to ensure efficient project management. To achieve this goal, an analysis of current approaches to IT project budgeting was conducted, identifying problems in existing systems and outlining the main principles for improvement.

One of the key principles for improvement is ensuring transparency and accountability in budgetary processes. This involves clearly defining expenses and controlling their use. Additionally, flexibility and adaptability of the system are crucial, allowing for adjustments in project conditions and quick responses to changes.

For enhancing the budgeting system, it is recommended to implement Agile and Scrum approaches, which enable iterative budget development and involve the team in the planning process. It is also important to consider the risks and uncertainties associated with IT projects and use stochastic modeling methods for their forecasting.

It is anticipated that improving the budgeting system will contribute to more effective IT project management and provide more accurate financial resource planning.

Material examined. RMNH Por. 9940, Guyana, ‘Luymes’ Guyana Shelf Expedition, station 63, 7.5833°N 57.0667°W, depth 71 m, sandy bottom, 31 August 1970.
Description. Two ramose fragments (Fig. 89 a), each about 4 cm long and 0.6–2 cm wide. Surface conulose, with an oscule of 3 mm in diameter. Color greyish black in alcohol. Consistency soft, fragile.
Skeleton. Thick spongin-enforced spicule tracts, 70–200 µm in diameter, cored by 20–30 spicules form a reticulation with elongately squarish meshes of 300–500 x 200–300 µm. No special ectosomal skeleton.
Spicules. (Figs 89 b–f) Styles, strongyles, birotules.
Styles, smooth straight, with conical pointed end, occurring in a longer/thinner category (Fig. 89 b,b1), 232– 262 –284 x 3 – 4.6 –6 µm, and a thicker/shorter category (Fig. 89 c), 178– 184 –192 x 7 – 9.0 –10 µm.
Strongyles, curved, smooth, variably in size and thickness, thicker (Fig. 89 d) and thinner (Fig. 89 e,e1) spicules about equally long, 138– 182 –202 x 2 – 5.4 –7.5 µm.
Birotules (Fig. 89 f), straight shaft, usually about 12 alae, quite uniform in size, 15– 16.2 –18 µm.
Distribution and ecology. Guyana Shelf, Greater Caribbean, NE Brazil, on various bottoms at 0.1–90 m depth (Guyana Shelf 71 m).
Remarks. The specimen keys out in Rützler et al. ’s 2007b key as I. birotulata, having branching habitus and possessing birotules..

description: Mirachelonus subgen. nov.
Type species: Chelonus (Mirachelonus) miraventris sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Antennomeres 16 in female and 25 in male; flagellum gradually shortens from base to apex; 3 rd –7 th segments comparatively slender, 8 th –11 th segments distinctly widened; head striate-rugose and shiny; mesosoma coarsely reticulate-rugose; scutellum distinctly protruding above level of mesoscutum, with same sculpture as mesosoma; propodeum with a transverse carina and four distinct tooth-like tubercles; third tergite of metasomal carapace almost straightly narrowed, coarsely longitudinal rugulose, connected by transverse elements, smooth apically; apex of carapace truncate and narrow in dorsal view, in lateral view apex of carapace deeply incurved, about one fourth of total length of carapace in lateral view; apex of carapace with a rather small round aperture (Fig. 4J).
Etymology. Mirabilis is Latin for wonderful, strange and it is combined with the generic name Chelonus, because of the very special shape of the third metasomal segment of the type species.
