title: <i>Orea leptia</i>: discovery of a new genus and species with the slenderest metatarsal among ruminants (Giraffidae, Mammalia)

description: The Siwalik deposits of Pakistan contain a diverse array of ruminants, including several members of the Giraffidae family. We report a sample of postcranial material (13.6 to 11.4 Ma) from the Chinji Formation that merits the designation of a new genus and species: <i>Orea leptia</i> gen. nov. sp. nov. This species exhibits the most gracile metapodials of any ruminant. We restrict the species to the holotype, with other specimens referred to it. The elongated metapodials and the morphology of the atlas suggest that it is another long-necked giraffid. The slender and elongated metapodials are characteristic of the Giraffinae subfamily. Our comparative analysis with several taxa, including specimens from the Chinji Formation and other Giraffidae, indicates that the morphology of <i>Orea leptia</i> gen. nov. sp. nov. is most similar to that of the Giraffinae. Phylogenetic analysis supports this, with the most parsimonious tree placing the new taxon among the Giraffinae, the subfamily of long-necked, long-limbed giraffids. Given its age and location, <i>Orea leptia</i> gen. nov. sp. nov. is likely close to the ancestor of all Giraffinae. Consequently, we propose merging the subfamilies Bohlininae with Giraffinae. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FEEC13ED-D7A5-43EB-887C-4383C3FACE94

title: Redescription of the Late Oligocene heterodont odontocete <i>Eosqualodon langewieschei</i> from the historic Doberg of Bünde, Germany

description: The fossil record of the late Oligocene, spanning from 27 to 23 Ma, bears evidence of the first major burst of diversification of crown Cetacea. The discovery of new species is crucial to understanding the full picture of this diversification burst, but review of poorly studied taxa is necessary as well. One such neglected taxon is <i>Eosqualodon</i>, a member of the heterodont odontocete family Squalodontidae, whose taxonomy has been neglected for decades. Here we examine the Chattian age (∼27 Ma) type species of <i>Eosqualodon</i> from north-western Germany. Represented by a complete skull and mandible, <i>Eosqualodon langewieschei</i> has historically received neither sufficient diagnosis nor description. Our redescription demonstrates <i>E. langewieschei</i> clearly bears diagnostic traits of the Squalodontidae, which include the robust, procumbent incisors and posterior teeth with crenulated and nodular enamel; this interpretation is supported by our phylogenetic analysis. However, our comparisons with species of <i>Squalodon</i> demonstrate that <i>E. langewieschei</i> is distinct from <i>Squalodon</i> and thus that the genus <i>Eosqualodon</i> is valid. Contrary to the taxonomy of previous workers, our phylogenetic analysis failed to capture a sister relationship between <i>E. langewieschei</i> and <i>Eosqualodon latirostris</i>, leading us to consider this genus to be monotypic, pending the revision of <i>E. latirostris. Eosqualodon langewieschei</i> possesses an enlarged temporal fossa, a dorsoventrally tall coronoid process of the mandible and a fossa on the coronoid ramus for jaw adductor musculature; these observations point to a macrophagous feeding strategy much like another late Oligocene odontocete, <i>Ankylorhiza.</i>

title: The new earliest diverging Mesotheriinae (Mammalia, Notoungulata) from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) of the Puna region, Catamarca, Argentina

description: Mesotheriidae (Notoungulata) is an extinct clade of herbivorous mammals that was widely distributed in South America from the early Oligocene to the Early–Middle Pleistocene. Within this clade, only Mesotheriinae is recognized as a monophyletic group, encompassing Early Miocene–Pleistocene taxa. The earliest mesotheriine records date back to the Early Miocene and are from Río Negro Province (Argentina), but most complete specimens are from Mendoza Province (Argentina) and northern Chile. During the Middle to Late Miocene, mesotheriines diversified and became abundant across Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. However, their distribution decreased to only Argentina from the Pliocene until their extinction in the Pleistocene. Recent findings from north-western Argentina indicate a more complex history for this lineage, with morphological affinities with Bolivian taxa. Here, we present a new mesotheriine from the Puna of Catamarca Province, which represents the northernmost record in Argentina and the first fossil record from the Potrero Grande Formation (fossil levels dated to ∼18 Ma; Burdigalian, Early Miocene). The specimen MHAS 161 consists of an almost complete palate with P2–M3 and has unique features such as rooted premolars, developed P2, enamel fossettes and a lingual groove in the third lobe of M1–3. After comparative and phylogenetic analyses (descriptive, metrics and morphometric geometrics), we propose that MHAS 161 represents a new taxon (<i>Ichhutherium wayra</i> gen. et sp. nov.) characterized by a combination of ancestral and derived dental and palatal traits, with an estimated body mass of 7.16–15.34 kg. The phylogenetic analysis identifies <i>I. wayra</i> gen. et sp. nov. as the earliest diverging Mesotheriinae, indicating the first radiation of the lineage. This study reopens debates on Mesotheriidae ontogenetic stages and trait development. Future explorations and findings in outcrops of the early Neogene of the Argentine Puna could be crucial for a deeper understanding of South American native ungulates and other vertebrates. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6DFDFBFE-ABA1-4FB1-9778-FEBF29A1AF8E

title: A new borioteiioid lizard with large caniniform tooth from the Upper Cretaceous of South China

description: Borioteiioidea (Polyglyphanodontia) is a group of lizards that were abundant in China and Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous. Two borioteiioid genera, <i>Tianyusaurus</i> and <i>Yechilacerta</i>, with complete lower temporal bars, have been reported from the Upper Cretaceous of South China. Here we report a new borioteiioid fossil lizard, <i>Caninosaurus ganzhouensis</i> gen. et sp. nov., based on an incomplete skull and mandible from the Upper Cretaceous Tangbian Formation of Ganzhou Basin, Jiangxi Province, South China. The new lizard differs from other Late Cretaceous lizards by possessing a unique combination of features, including nasal process of the premaxilla constricted at the base; elongated posterodorsal projection of the maxillary facial process; no articulation between the nasal and prefrontal; a prefrontal with a fossa on its lateral surface; elongated frontals with sculptured dorsal surface and a waisted orbital margin; tooth crowns with no denticles and cusps; and a large and caniniform fourth maxillary tooth. Phylogenetic analyses based on two recent data matrices both recover <i>Caninosaurus</i> within Borioteiioidea. In the unconstrained analyses, <i>Caninosaurus</i> is placed in a clade with <i>Tianyusaurus</i> and <i>Yechilacerta. Caninosaurus</i> is the third borioteiioid lizard discovered from the Upper Cretaceous of the Jiangxi Province, increasing the diversity of borioteiioid lizards found in eastern Asia. The small body size and possible omnivorous diet of <i>Caninosaurus</i> suggest it occupied a different ecological niche to <i>Tianyusaurus</i> and <i>Yechilacerta</i>. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:3F0B9E9D-E1FC-407D-8126-8ABBF63F8437

title: <i>Deanaspis</i>, a new genus of Galeaspida (jawless stem Gnathostomata) from the Silurian of Jiangxi, China, and its evolutionary implications

description: A new genus and species of Galeaspida, <i>Deanaspis longpingi</i> gen. et sp. nov., is described from a new locality of the Silurian Xikeng Formation (from around 436 million years ago) in De'an County, Jiangxi Province. The new taxon possesses the mosaic characters of Eugaleaspiformes and Xiushuiaspidae, such as the longitudinal oval median dorsal opening in Eugealeaspiformes and the presence of the long postbranchial division of the headshied in Xiushuiaspidae. Accordingly, we erect a new family, Deanaspidae fam. nov., characterized by the longitudinal oval median dorsal opening and the long postbranchial division of the headshield covering the anterior part of the body. Our phylogenetic analysis indicates that <i>Xiushuiaspis</i>, <i>Changxingaspis</i> and <i>Xiyuichthys</i> form a monophyletic group, the family Xiushuiaspidae, and Deanaspidae is resolved to be the sister group of Xiushuiaspidae. Our results reveal that the long postbranchial division of Xiushuiaspidae and Deanaspidae is convergent with the inter-branchial region in polybranchiaspid galeaspids, but can be compared to the postbranchial region in some osteostracans, heterostracans and pituriaspids, and the thoracic armour of placoderms, which protects the viscera in the anterior part of the trunk. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:478B6681-44E7-4430-B91A-76E48C8FE54D

title: Why extant, why not extinct? A new extinct <i>Latonia</i> species (Anura: Discoglossidae) from the Early Pleistocene of the Apennine Peninsula provides clues on the survival of the genus in Eurasia

description: Pietrafitta is one of the richest Early Pleistocene localities in the Italian Peninsula and it hosts one of the latest occurrences of the discoglossid frog <i>Latonia</i> in Europe. This occurrence is here described as a new species of <i>Latonia</i>, a large-bodied frog, potentially feeding on hard invertebrates in the Pietrafitta palaeoswamp. Our first attempt at the phylogenetic reconstruction of <i>Latonia</i>, based on a matrix consisting of 20 taxa and 39 characters, placed the new Italian species within a poorly understood clade that also includes <i>Latonia caucasica</i> from the Late Miocene of northern Caucasus. Almost all other extinct <i>Latonia</i> species make up a second clade, represented in the fossil record from the Oligocene and including the youngest occurrence of the genus in Europe, from the Middle Pleistocene of Hungary. The only extant species, <i>Latonia nigriventer</i>, was the earliest branching taxon in our topology, which could be due to its unique unsculptured morphology, a trait that may represent a secondary loss during the Quaternary. The exostosis on cranial bones, which is considered a diagnostic feature of the genus, might have developed in the earliest <i>Latonia</i> in response to pronounced warming and drought. Later, starting after the Middle Miocene, this exostosis underwent a reduction process, possibly triggered by cooling, that led to Plio–Pleistocene forms sharing a narrower frontoparietal with a less pustular sculpturing. <i>Latonia dimenticata</i> is a clear example of this frontoparietal morphology. <i>Latonia nigriventer</i> may have further evolved a completely unsculptured morphology to face rapid environmental changes in the last Quaternary glacial phases and ultimately facilitating its survival into the present day. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E0502A26-F909-4240-97CC-1C98E606322B
