Upcoming Meetings:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sessions
The 2nd Palaeontological Virtual Congress will be organized in a number of general theme sessions trying to span the whole variety of potential contributions.
However, Palaeontology is a wide discipline which encompasses a huge variety of topics. Aware of this and taking advantage of the flexibility that virtual platforms offer, sessions proposals on emerging topics, innovative techniques or any other matter that you consider of interest are welcome to be addressed in depth during the celebration of the congress.
The purpose of such sessions is to provide a comprehensive forum for the exchange of ideas and discuss the issue within specialists in the target field.
If you are interested in proposing a specific session, please send us a brief description (no more than 300 words) with the main goals and any relevant information that you may consider relevant. Please, indicate in the proposal the full name of the organisers and their respective affiliations.
Proposals should be submitted by email to palaeovc@gmail.com before December 31st. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the organizers after that. This edition, we want try to involve more to the participants, so if your workshop is accepted, the proposed organisers will be in charge of:
– Look for contributions. Ideally, a single session would require the participation of at least 5 contributions, but this is only a suggestion and it is not mandatory.
– Send the abstracts to peer-review.
– Moderating the sessions. We want to encourage a dialogue with all the participants, so the sessions organisers will be in charge of moderating and promoting debates in the discussion chats.

TAXONOMIC NEWS/ NEW SPECIES
Extant Chondrichthyes:
STONE, N.R. & SHIMADA, K. (2019): Skeletal Anatomy of the Bigeye Sand Tiger Shark, Odontaspis noronhai (Lamniformes: Odontaspididae), and Its Implications for Lamniform Phylogeny, Taxonomy, and Conservation Biology. Copeia, 107 (4): 632-652
New family: Carchariidae (resurrected)
Abstract: Lamniformes (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii) is a group of sharks that consists of 15 extant species with a wide range of morphological diversity. The most rarely captured lamniform is Odontaspis noronhai, and many aspects of its biology remain unknown to date. In this study, the skeletal anatomy of a previously described specimen of O. noronhai was examined using computed tomography. The new skeletal data were then added to a previously published morphology-based character matrix to conduct a new phylogenetic analysis of the Lamniformes. Our phylogenetic study strongly suggests non-monophyly of Odontaspididae, that traditionally consisted of Carcharias taurus, O. ferox, and O. noronhai. Thus, the family Carchariidae is formally resurrected for the genus Carcharias to separate it from the family Odontaspididae sensu stricto for Odontaspis. The overall topology of our phylogenetic trees is similar to that of previously published morphology-based trees and drastically different from the tree topology generally attained by molecular data that cluster Alopias, Megachasma, Odontaspis, and Pseudocarcharias together as a separate clade. The major topological discrepancy between molecular and morphological trees may be attributed to unconventionally asynchronous rates between morphological and molecular evolution, at least in certain species within the Lamniformes, along with likely manifestation of mosaic evolution. The recognition of the family Carchariidae is important to conservation biology, because the extinction of C. taurus would not only mean the elimination of the genus Carcharias, but also the entire family Carchariidae. Our study demonstrates the importance of the integration of both morphological and molecular information to understand organismal evolution.
Extinct Chondrichthyes:
EBERSOLE, J.A. & CICIMURRI, D.J. & STRINGER, G.L. (2019): Taxonomy and biostratigraphy of the elasmobranchs and bony fishes (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes) of the lower-to-middle Eocene (Ypresian to Bartonian) Claiborne Group in Alabama, USA, including an analysis of otoliths. Palaeontology, 1–274
New genus: Pseudabdounia
New species: Carcharhinus mancinae
Abstract: The Tallahatta Formation, Lisbon Formation, and Gosport Sand are the three lithostratigraphic units that make up the lower-to-middle Eocene Claiborne Group. In Alabama, these marine units are among the most fossiliferous in the state and a long history of scattered reports have attempted to document their fossil diversity. In this study, we examined 20931 elasmobranch and bony fish elements, including otoliths, derived from Claiborne Group units in Alabama and identified 115 unequivocal taxa. Among the taxa identified, one new species is described, Carcharhinus mancinae sp. nov., and Pseudabdounia gen. nov. is a new genus erected to include two species formerly placed within Abdounia Capatta, 1980. New taxonomic combinations proposed include Pseudabdounia claibornensis (White, 1956) gen. et comb. nov., Pseudabdounia recticona (Winkler, 1874) gen. et comb. nov., Physogaleus alabamensis (Leriche, 1942) comb. nov., and Eutrichiurides plicidens (Arambourg, 1952) comb. nov. We also report the first North American paleobiogeographic occurrences of Aturobatis aff. A. aquensis Adnet, 2006, Brachycarcharias atlasi (Arambourg, 1952), Eutrichiurides plicidens comb. nov., Galeorhinus louisi Adnet & Cappetta, 2008, Ginglymostoma maroccanum Noubhani & Cappetta, 1997, Gymnosarda sp., Mennerotodus sp., Rhizoprionodon ganntourensis (Arambourg, 1952), Stenoscyllium aff. S. priemi Noubhani & Cappetta, 1997, Trichiurus oshosunensis White, 1926, and the first North American occurrence for a fossil member of the Balistidae Risso, 1810. Our sample also included 26 taxa that represented first paleobiogeographic occurrences for Alabama, including Abdounia beaugei (Arambourg, 1935), Albula eppsi White, 1931, Ariosoma nonsector Nolf & Stringer, 2003, Anisotremus? sp., Anomotodon sp., Brachycarcharias twiggsensis (Case, 1981), Burnhamia daviesi (Woodward, 1889), Eoplinthicus yazooensis Capetta & Stringer, 2002, Galeorhinus ypresiensis (Casier, 1946), Gnathophis meridies (Frizzell & Lamber, 1962), Haemulon? obliquus (Müller, 1999), Hypolophodon sylvestris (White, 1931), Malacanthus? sulcatus (Koken, 1888), Meridiania cf. M. convexa Case, 1994, Palaeocybium proosti (Storms, 1897), Paraconger sector (Koken, 1888), Paralbula aff. P. marylandica Blake, 1940, Phyllodus toliapicus Agassiz, 1844, Propristis schweinfurthi Dames, 1883, Pycnodus sp., Pythonichthys colei (Müller, 1999), Scomberomorus stormsi (Leriche, 1905), Signata stenzeli Frizzell & Dante, 1965, and Signata nicoli Frizzell & Dante, 1965, and the first Paleogene occurrences in Alabama of a member of the Gobiidae Cuvier, 1816. A biostratigraphic analysis of our sample showed stratigraphic range extensions for several taxa, including the first Bartonian occurrences of Eoplinthicus yazooensis, Jacquhermania duponti (Winkler, 1876), Meridiania cf. M. convexa, Phyllodus toliapicus, and “Rhinobatos” bruxelliensis (Jaekel, 1894), range extensions into the late Ypresian and Bartonian for Tethylamna dunni Cappetta & Case, 2016 and Scoliodon conecuhensis Cappetta & Case, 2016, the first late Ypresian records of Galeorhinus louisi, the first Lutetian occurrence of Gymnosarda Gill, 1862, and a range extension for Fisherichthys aff. F. folmeri Weems, 1999 into the middle Bartonian. Larger biostratigraphic and evolutionary trends are also documented, such as the acquisition of serrations in Otodus spp., possible population increases for the Rhinopterinae Jordan & Evermann, 1896 and Carcharhiniformes Compagno, 1973 in the Bartonian, and the apparent diversification of the Tetraodontiformes Berg, 1940 during the same stage. This study helps better our understanding of early-to-middle Eocene elasmobranch and bony fish diversity, paleobiogeography, and biostratigraphy in the Gulf Coastal Plain of North America.
STUMPF, S. & KRIWET, J. (2019): A new Pliensbachian elasmobranch (Vertebrata, Chondrichthyes) assemblage from Europe, and its contribution to the understanding of late Early Jurassic elasmobranch diversity and distributional patterns. Paläontologische Zeitschrift, 93 (4): 637–658
New genus: Antiquaobatis
New species: Antiquaobatis grimmenensis
Abstract: Here we describe a new, previously unrecognized elasmobranch microfossil assemblage consisting of isolated dental material from late Pliensbachian marginal marine, near-shore deposits of Grimmen in north-eastern Germany. The faunal composition indicates close affinities to other European pre-Toarcian elasmobranch-bearing localities, as it is predominantly composed of Hybodontiformes (Hybodus reticulatus?, H. hauffianus?, Lissodus sp.), Synechodontiformes (Palidiplospinax enniskilleni, P. occultidens, Paraorthacodus sp., Sphenodus sp.), and Hexanchiformes (Notidanoides sp.), as well as teeth attributable of the enigmatic Early Jurassic galeomorph shark Agaleus dorsetensis. In addition, the here reported elasmobranch tooth assemblage includes the oldest undisputable fossil records of Orectolobiformes and Batomorphii, each being represented by a single complete tooth only. The orectolobiform specimen is reminiscent of hemiscyllids but left in open nomenclature due to its very generalized morphology preventing any taxonomic identification. The batomorph tooth, conversely, is characterized by a unique combination of morphological features, which allows the introduction of new genus and species, Antiquaobatis grimmenensis gen. et sp. nov. The fossil assemblage presented here contributes to our current knowledge of late Early Jurassic chondrichthyan diversity and distributional patterns, providing some support for the hypothesis that most modern neoselachian lineages were initially linked to marginal marine, near-shore environments, before moving into open marine, offshore habitats by the Toarcian.
Parasites:
RUIZ, C.K. & BULLARD, S.A. (2019): A new species of parasitic copepod (Siphonostomatoida: Lernaeopodidae: Neoalbionella Ozdikmen, 2008) infecting the skin of a gulper shark, Centrophorus sp. (Squaliformes: Centrophoridae), in the Gulf of Mexico, with a key to species of Neoalbionella. Journal of Crustacean Biology, 39 (4): 459-467
New species: Neoalbionella dannytangi
Abstract: We describe male and female specimens of a species of NeoalbionellaÖzdikmen, 2008 (Siphonostomatoida, Lernaeopodidae), Neoalbionella dannytangisp. nov., infecting the skin of a gulper shark Centrophorus sp. (Centrophoridae) in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Females of the new species most closely resemble those of Neoalbionella globosa (Leigh-Sharpe, 1918) but are unique among congeners by having the combination of 1) terminal endopodal segment of antenna with a reduced distal tubercle having a minute protuberance, 2) maxillule with a spinulose lateral palp and praecoxal endite, 3) maxilla with a swollen tip nearly parallel with the distal surface of the bulla, and 4) maxilliped with a sub-circular spinulose pad along the proximal myxal margin of the corpus maxillipedis. The male copepod was attached to the tip of a female’s posterior process and was assigned to Neoalbionella by having a cephalosome nearly equal in length to the trunk and tapered caudal rami directed posteroventrally (swollen and directed anterodorsally in males of Lernaeopoda von Nordmann, 1832). It was distinct from those of all other congeners by having 1) an antenna terminal endopodal segment and maxillule similar to that of the female, 2) a maxilla syncoxa with an anteromedial process having seven large, conical denticles, 4) a bifid mediative process approximately as wide as the length of the shortest lobe, and 5) a caudal ramus with a unique configuration and number of setae. This is the second report of a species of Neoalbionella from the Gulf of Mexico and the third nominal species of Neoalbionella reported from gulper sharks (Centrophorus spp.). We also provide keys to females and males of Neoalbionella.
IRIGOITIA, M.M. & BRAICOVICH, P.E. & ROSSIN, M.A. & CANEL, D. & LEVY, E. & FARBER, M.D. & TIMI, J.T. (2019): Diversity of Empruthotrema Johnston and Tiegs, 1992 parasitizing batoids (Chondrichthyes: Rajiformes and Myliobatiformes) from the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, with description of three new species. Parasitology Research, 118 (11): 3113-3127
New species: Empruthotrema aoneken, Empruthotrema orashken, Empruthotrema dorae
Abstract: During an extensive research project involving 519 specimens of batoids, including 13 species of Rajiformes and Myliobatiformes (Chondrichthyes) from the Argentine Sea, three new species of Empruthotrema were found and are described using morphologic characteristics and two molecular markers: LSU rDNA and COI mtDNA. The new species can be distinguished from their congeners by the number and distribution of the marginal loculi, the length and morphology of male copulatory organ, and the presence of eyespots. Additionally, multivariate analysis identified the dimensions of the pharynx and ejaculatory bulb as diagnostic features. Host specificity and previous records of the genus in the region are discussed. This is the first description of new species in this genus for the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, as well as for arhynchobatid hosts.
MORALES-SERNA, F.N. & CROW, G.L. & MONTES, M.M. & GONZALEZ, M.T. (2019): Description of Echthrogaleus spinulus n. sp. (Copepoda: Pandaridae) parasitic on a torpedo ray from the central Pacific Ocean utilising a morphological and molecular approach. Systematic Parasitology, 96 (9): 777–788
New species: Echthrogaleus spinulus
Abstract: A new species of parasitic copepod, Echthrogaleus spinulus n. sp. (Pandaridae), is described from the torpedo ray Tetronarce tokionis (Tanaka) (Torpedinidae) captured in pelagic Hawaiian waters. The new species has pediger 4 bearing large dorsal plates with denticles on posterior margin, genital complex with posterolateral lobes widely curved medially and overlapping, leg 4 exopod incompletely 3-segmented, and the largest body size (maximum length 16 mm from anterior rim of frontal plates to tip of caudal rami, excluding setae). This morphology does not match any of the seven valid species of Echthrogaleus Steenstrup & Lütken, 1861. Analysis of 28S rDNA sequences separated the new material from the Central Pacific from samples of E. coleoptratus in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans. However, due to the lack of DNA sequences in the databases, the new 28S rDNA sequence cannot used to confirm the species identity. The unique morphological characteristics of the Central Pacific female copepods combined with 28S rDNA sequencing was used as a basis to validate the new species.
