was collected from the underside of leaves of Viburnum sp. (Caprifoliaceae) at the Botanical Garden of the Agricultural College of Hokkaido in mid-July. Only alatae and alatoid nymphs were found. This species has not been found since the original description (Blackman and Eastop 2006). More study, and likely more collection records, are needed to determine the status of this species. The host relationship is unusual for Phorodon.

(Figs. 2, 4)
Germalus conradsi Schouteden 1957, Ann. Mus. Roy. Congo Belg. Sci. Zool. 8: 58: 255 (O.D.)
Redescription. Studied material. Type material. Holotype: “HOLOTYPUS / conradsi [handwritten] // COLL. MUS. CONGO / Victoria Nyanza / Ukeréwe - IV - 1938 / R. P. Conrads / 387 // Germalus conradsi / n.sp. / Typi [handwritten label]” (1♀, RMCA)
Notes. This species closely resembles Germalus ghesquierei Schouteden, 1957 so only the differences will be noted during the redescription.
Colouration. Head. Width of median line reaching from pronotal margin to middle of clypeus approximately twice as wide as that of G. ghesquierei. Antennal segments III-IV darker than the first two, nearly fuscous. Thorax. Punctuation of pronotum mostly concolorous with surface, blackish only near anterior angles. Spots at humeral angles somewhat smaller and more rounded. Scutellum uniformly ochraceous, only triradiate carina paler in hue. Inner margin of clavus and claval commissure strongly marginated with dark brown. Punctuation of corium variably brown or blackish, punctures along radius paler than on previous species. Fuscous spots of episternal region less extended, paler than of G. ghesquierei. Abdomen. Fuscous band on connexiva less extensive.
Structure. Head structure similar as described by previous species. Antennal segment ratio: 7:20:15:16. Labial segment ratio: 10:15:14:11. Thorax. Punctuation of pronotum and scutellum denser and stronger; surface shiny; setae lacking. Anterior angles more curved than G. ghesquierei. Scutellum very similar in structure, only setae missing. Hemielytron differs in punctuation of clavus: on G. ghesquierei a complete corial row can be observed, on G. conradsi this row extends only to the third of the length of clavus.
Measurements (holotype). body length: 5.93; head length: 0.76, -width: 1.56; distance of ocelli: 0.40; antennal segments: 0.28-0.80-0.60-0.64; labial segments: 0.4-0.6-0.56-0.44; pronotum length: 1.20, -width: 1.60; scutellum length: 0.72, -width: 0.72.
Discussion. This species resembles to G. ghesquierei but there are some notable differences which separate the two species e.g. colouration of dorsal punctuation and abdominal dorsum, claval punctuation.

Opisthoncus albiventris: Koch L. 1881: 1228; Rainbow, 1911: 308; Żabka 1991: 44.
Type material. 1F Syntype, ZMH, 7725, Mus. Godeffroy, Australia: Sydney [NSW].
Remarks. Koch and Keyserling (1881) described both sexes from Sydney. The material labelled as “ type ” includes 2 females, but only one of them corresponds with the original description. The second female belongs to O. keyserlingi (previously Hasarius albiventris).
Diagnosis. Differs from close O. parcedentatus by the course of insemination ducts and orientation of spermathecae. Copulatory openings relatively small, oriented mid-anteriorly, posterior notch rounded, slightly concave. Membranous parts of insemination ducts coiled in one circle, intermediate ducts relatively short, curved and looped as in Fig. 4 H.
Description. Female (Fig. 4) about 5 mm long. Cephalothorax moderately narrow and high (CW = 75% of CL, CH = 46% of CL), pale brown, sparsely covered with short, pallid scales (Figs 4 B,C). Surrounding of eyes black. Clypeus moderately wide, pale brown, covered with numerous pallid scales and setae, longer and denser in the centre (Fig. 4 E). Cheliceral retromargin with 2-cuspidate fissident tooth (Fig. 4 F). Chelicerae, endites and labium pale brown, the latter with yellow anterior margins. Sternum moderately round, orange, clothed in scattered fine, pallid hairs (Fig. 4 D). Abdomen yellowish-orange, with medial longitudinal whitish area and pattern of transverse whitish stripes and brown spots as in Fig. 4 C. Venter whitish, with visible guanine deposits and brown stripes along the sides (Fig. 4 D). Spinnerets yellow. Legs I, II with coxae and femora yellow and other podomeres orange. Other legs yellow. Pedipalps yellow with orange tarsi. Epigyne as illustrated in Figs 4 G–H.
Dimensions. CL 2.24, CW 1.68, CH 1.04, AEW 1.56, PEW 1.60, EFL 0.80, AL 2.80, AW 1.44.

Rhamphobrachium Ehlers, 1887: 70.— Paxton 1986a: 44. Paranorthia Moore, 1903: 448.
Type-species. Rhamphobrachium agassizii Ehlers, 1887: 70, by subsequent designation of Hartman, 1944: 47. Gender: neuter.
Diagnosis. The definition given by Paxton (1986a) is here emended as follows: peristomial cirri present or absent; anterior two or three pairs of parapodia modified, moderately prolonged, hooks with two rows of moveable spines, chaetal sacs extending to chaetiger 20–60; branchiae present or absent.
Remarks. The genus was previously defined as having peristomial cirri, branchiae, and three anterior pairs of modified parapodia with chaetal sacs extending to chaetiger 30–60. The erection of a new subgenus for the three progenetic new species described below necessitated the present emendation. With the description of the new subgenus, Rhamphobrachium includes three subgenera which can be distinguished as outlined in the key at the end of the paper.

Olbiogaster sp. Williston 1901: 229. (description of male; figure habitus of male; Mexico).
Distribution. Mexico (Veracruz, Fig. 10), USA (Texas, Florida, South Carolina). The type locality, “Atoyac”, is located in the region of the Mountains, in the central part of the state of Veracruz.
Comments. The description of the male provided by Lane and d’Andretta (1958: 522) differs from the original description of Edwards (1915), mainly by the coloration of the legs, in the middle and hind coxae, fore and hind femur. This led Tozoni (1993) to refer to their specimens as “ O. sackeni Edwards of Lane & d’Andretta”. The key to species of the genus from Mexico above is based in the description of Edwards (1915).

Pelorochelon

description: PELOROCHELON GEN. NOV.
(FIGS 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 E, F, G, H)
Type species. Pelorochelon soriana sp. nov.
Other included species. Pelorochelon eocaenica (Hummel, 1935).
Etymology. Peloro -, meaning monstrous and gigantic in Greek, because it is the European oldest known testudinid with a shell of more than 50 cm, and the largest testudinid in the European Eocene record; and - chelon, from the ancient Greek word χελώνη (cheloni), which means turtle or tortoise.
Distribution. Eocene (Ypresian to Bartonian) of Europe.
Diagnosis. Western European Cenozoic testudinid, with the length of the shell close to 70 cm, differing from all the medium and large European testudinids by the presence of a well-developed visceral elevation in the lateral margin of the epiplastra, expanded toward the anterior region, and characterized by a unique character combination: shallow notch in the anterior carapace margin; slightly wider than long nuchal; eight to nine neurals; first suprapygal embrassing the lenticular second one; dorsally directed distal margins of the anterior and posterior peripherals; absence of pointed tips in the anterior and posterior carapacial rim; posterior carapace margin not undulating; presence of a cervical scute; cervical almost as wide as long; markedly divergent latero-posterior margins of the first vertebral scute; third vertebral longer than wide; first pair of pleurals not overlapping the nuchal; third pleural contacting the seventh to ninth pair of marginals; medial margins of the marginals not contacting the costo-peripheral suture; second marginals not contacting the nuchal; fourth marginals medially in contact with the first pleurals; presence of twelve pairs of marginals; overlap of the twelfth marginals on the second suprapygal; anterior plastral lobe as long as the posterior one; medially notched anterior plastral lobe; concave dorsal lip of the epiplastra; presence of gular protrusions; absence of gular pocket; absence of step-like morphology behind the epiplastral lip; epiplastra as long as wide; sutured contact between all plastral plates; gular scutes not contacting or not overlying the anterior region of the entoplastron; anterior angle between the sagittal axis and the gularo-humeral sulcus of 65° or more obtuse; humero-pectoral sulcus generally perpendicular to the axial plane in the medial area, with a well-developed lateral change of curvature.
