A check list alongwith the distribution of lnd ian anostracan species species is also given. Introduction While studying the entomostracan fauna of northern lndia the author came across three three species of fairy-shrimps belonging to three different families viz. ，Thamnocephalidae ， Chirocephalidae Chirocephalidae and Ttreptocephalidae. The short morphological notes and i1l ustrations of of these species ，namely ， Branchinella kugenumaensis (I SHIKA WA )， Chirocephalus sp. indt. and StreptocePhalus dichotomus BAIRD are presented in the present paper. A literature scan reveals that in all 14 anostracan species are known from lndia ， their distribution has been discussed. The samples were taken with a self made townet of synthetic cloth (300 meshes per per sq. cm. ). The collection sites included both slow moving as well as stagnent water bodies bodies including small road side ditches with water expanse of less than a metre. The anostracans anostracans were found to occur in small bodies having muddy wate r. The specimens 78 78 were killed in 10 % formalin and then preserved in a mixture of 70 % alcohol and gly- cerine cerine in ratio of 9: 1. The colour of the specimens were noted before killing. The preserved preserved spe cimens were stained with eosin and mounted in canada balsam after dehy- drating drating them in alcohol grades.

Weekers,a,* Gopal Murugan,a,1 Jacques R. Vanfleteren,a Denton Belk,b and Henri J. Dumonta a Department of Biology, Ghent University, Ledeganckstraat 35, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium b Biology Department, Our Lady of the Lake University of San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78207, USA Received 20 February 2001; received in revised form 18 June 2002 Abstract The nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) of 27 anostracans (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) belonging to 14 genera and eight out of nine traditionally recognized families has been sequenced and used for phylogenetic analysis. The 18S rDNA phylogeny shows that the anostracans are monophyletic. The taxa under examination form two clades of subordinal level and eight clades of family level. Two families the Polyartemiidae and Linderiellidae are suppressed and merged with the Chirocephalidae, of which together they form a subfamily. In contrast, the Parartemiinae are removed from the Branchipodidae, raised to family level (Parartemiidae) and cluster as a sister group to the Artemiidae in a clade defined here as the Artemiina (new suborder). A number of morphological traits support this new suborder. The Branchipodidae are separated into two families, the Branchipodidae and Ta- nymastigidae (new family). The relationship between Dendrocephalus and Thamnocephalus requires further study and needs the addition of Branchinella sequences to decide whether the Thamnocephalidae are monophyletic. Surprisingly, Polyartemiella hazeni and Polyartemia forcipata (‘‘Family’’ Polyartemiidae), with 17 and 19 thoracic segments and pairs of trunk limb as opposed to all other anostracans with only 11 pairs, do not cluster but are separated by Linderiella santarosae (‘‘Family’’ Linderiellidae), which has 11 pairs of trunk limbs.

Diaphanosoma hamatum sp. nov. is described from material from claypans of a restricted area near Onslow in the north-west of Western Australia. It is characterized by some peculiar features, such as presence of well developed rostrum, small reduced eye, and large hooked spine on the apical end of upper two- segmented antennal branch, which distinguish it from other known species of the genus. The new species is probably closely related to the Australian D. unguiculatum and may be considered as the additional member of the Australian endemic fauna. The ecological signifi cance of morphological features of the species is discussed. Manuscript received 29 March 2010, accepted for publication 19 July 2011.

Since 1855, 28 species of clam shrimps (Laevicaudata, Spinicaudata, Cyclestherida) have been described from Australia, although three have been synonymized. One new species of Eocyzicus is described herein. It has a distinctive rostrum that is slightly different in male and females and the clasper has a three segmented palp. With this new species the Australian fauna comprises 26 valid species of clam shrimps.

Arthropods, as the most species-rich and morphologically disparate animal phylum, have received substantial attention, particularly with regard to questions such as the timing of habitat shifts (e.g. terrestrialisation), genome evolution (e.g. gene family duplication and functional evolution), origins of novel characters and behaviours (e.g. wings and flight, venom, silk), biogeography, rate of diversification (e.g. Cambrian explosion, insect coevolution with angiosperms, evolution of crab body plans), and the evolution of arthropod microbiomes. We present herein a series of rigorously vetted calibration fossils for arthropod evolutionary history, taking into account recently published guidelines for best practice in fossil calibration.

    A New Species of Branchinella (Crustacea: Anostraca: Thamnocephalidae) from Alice Springs, Australia. BRIAN V. T IMMS Honorary Research Associate, Australian Museum, 10 William St, Sydney, 2000, and Centre for Ecosystem Science, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, Kensington, 2052, Australia. Published on 26 March 2021 at https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/LIN/index Timms, B.V. (2021). A new species of Branchinella (Crustacea: Anostraca: Thamnocephalidae) from Alice Springs, Australia. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 143, 1-8. A new fairy shrimp, Branchinella rosalieae n.sp., is described from a claypan within Alice Springs, Northern Territory. Its frontal appendage is like other members of the B. affi nis group, consisting of a central trunk divided terminally into two substantial branches but distinctively with sensory papillae only along its medial margin. Other male characteristics are unremarkable and the female is like many others in Branchinella. The egg is spherical with close set polygons, like that in many species of Branchinella. Manuscript received 21 October 2020, accepted for publication 16 March 2021. KEYWORDS: Branchinella affi nis species group, frontal appendage, narrow endemic. INTRODUCTION Olympus BH monocular microscope at mainly 100x. Eggs were photographed on a Zeiss Evo LS15 SEM Branchinella is one of the most speciose genera using a Robinson Backscatter Detector. Specimens of fairy shrimps, with forty known species found most were prepared as detailed in Timms and Lindsay commonly in inland Australia (Pinceel et al. 2013, (2011). Rogers 2013, Rogers and Timms 2014, Timms 2015a). Many species have been encountered only recently SYSTEMATICS when more remote parts were explored, but narrow range endemics still elude investigators (Rogers et Class Crustacea Brűnnich 1772 al.
