贵州关岭晚三叠世法郎组瓦窑段鱼类化石初步观察

描述了关岭新铺地区晚三叠世法郎组瓦窑段中发现的鱼类5目5科5属5种和1未定种,其中1新属5新种,它们是Guizhoucoelacanthus guanlingensis Liu,Yin et Wang S Y gen.etsp.nov.,Birgeria guizhouensisLiu,Yin et Luo sp.nov.,Birgeriasp.,Pholidopleurus xiao waensis Liuet Yin sp.nov.,Peltopleurus brachycephalus Liu et Yin sp.nov.,Guizhoueugnathus largusLiu,Yinet Luo sp.nov.。关岭法郎组瓦窑段鱼类组合与邻区兴义晚三叠世法郎组竹杆坡段(卡尼早期)鱼类组合明显不同,瓦窑段的层位在竹杆坡段之上,其时代可能为卡尼中期。     

贵州关岭上三叠统的楯齿龙类化石

记述的新铺中国豆齿龙（Sinocyamodus xinpuensis gen. et sp. nov.）代表了齿龙目的一新属。这是齿龙类化石在我国的首次发现,也是这类特殊的海生爬行动物在欧洲、北非和中东以外地区的首次记录。标本产自贵州关岭晚三叠世瓦窑组一段的泥晶灰岩中,与鱼龙类、幻龙类及海龙类等多种海生爬行类同时产出。这一化石组合表明,贵州关岭三叠纪海生爬行动物群的性质与西特提斯动物群（wstern-Tethyan fauna）的性质极为相似,这两个地区在晚三叠世早期有广泛的动物交流。

The Discovery of Microflora from the Maantang Formation in the North-West Sichuan Basin and Its Significance

In this article a microflora discovered in the marine sediment of early Late Triassic at the North-West Sichuan Basin has been described. The samples studied were collected in 1974–1976 from Maantang Formation near Maantang Railway Station in Jiangyou Xian of Sichuan Sheng. Co existing with the microflora found abundant invertebrate fauna of Canic stage, such as Ammonites, matinc Bivalves, Foraminifera, Conodonts. This microflora is characterized by the peculiar zonate spores and numerous acritarchs, including 33 genera and 57 species, among which 4 genera and 20 species are new. The spores are characterized by the abundance of Dictyophyllidites, by the diminution of the zonate spores which are Corollisporites (gen. nov.), Bulbisporites (gen. nov.), Habrozonosporites (gen. nov.), and Compactisporites (gen. nov.), and by the presence of Marattisporites, Annulispora, Lycopodiaciditcs, Zebrasporitcs, Kraeuse- lisporites. The pollen grains are characterized by the abundance of Granosaccus, Verrusaccus Ricciisporites, Taeniaesporites, and by the presence of Ovalipollis, Luecki-sporitcs, Protohaploxypinus. The acritarchs are characterized by the abundance of Micrhystridium, by the diminution of Baltisphaeridium, Veryhachium, Lciopsopho-sphaera. Based on the assemblage feature shown in present microflora samples and associated occurrence of the marine invertebrate fauna (Protrachyceras sp., Buchites sp., Kumatrigonia sp., Halobia austriaca, H. rugosa, Aulotortus bronimanni, Trocholina acuta, Neogondolella polygnatiformis, etc.) the age of Maantang microflora may be considered as early Late Triassic.     

Mesozoic leaf beetles of the tribe Mesolpinini trib. nov. (Coleoptera,Chrysomelidae) from the Lower Cretaceous

This publication is based on recent studies of Lower Cretaceous leaf beetles from the Yixian Formation (Liaoning, China), which are represented by five new species of one new genus Mesolpinus gen. nov. (M. antenattus sp. nov. [type species], M. adapertilis sp. nov., M. angusticollis sp. nov., M. basicollis sp. nov., and M. trapezicollis sp. nov.) assigned to a new tribe, Mesolpinini trib. nov. of the subfamily Chrysomelinae. This tribe, which includes only species from the Jehol biota, is the oldest known group of the family in the fossil record. A key to species of the genus Mesolpinus gen. nov. is provided and the position of the new tribe is discussed. A brief overview of the Mesozoic data on the subfamily Chrysomeloidea is given.     

<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">d</Emphasis>-Xylose fermentation,xylitol production and xylanase activities by seven new species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sugiyamaella</Emphasis>

Sixteen yeast isolates identified as belonging to the genus Sugiyamaella were studied in relation to D-xylose fermentation, xylitol production, and xylanase activities. The yeasts were recovered from rotting wood and sugarcane bagasse samples in different Brazilian regions. Sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domains of large subunit rRNA gene showed that these isolates belong to seven new species. The species are described here as Sugiyamaella ayubii f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y607^T = CBS 14108^T), Sugiyamaella bahiana f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y304^T = CBS 13474^T), Sugiyamaella bonitensis f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y608^T = CBS 14270^T), Sugiyamaella carassensis f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y606^T = CBS 14107^T), Sugiyamaella ligni f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y295^T = CBS 13482^T), Sugiyamaella valenteae f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y609^T = CBS 14109^T) and Sugiyamaella xylolytica f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y348^T = CBS 13493^T). Strains of the described species S. boreocaroliniensis, S. lignohabitans, S. novakii and S. xylanicola, isolated from rotting wood of Brazilian ecosystems, were also compared for traits relevant to xylose metabolism. S. valenteae sp. nov., S. xylolytica sp. nov., S. bahiana sp. nov., S. bonitensis sp. nov., S. boreocarolinensis, S. lignohabitans and S. xylanicola were able to ferment d-xylose to ethanol. Xylitol production was observed for all Sugiyamaella species studied, except for S. ayubii sp. nov. All species studied showed xylanolytic activity, with S. xylanicola, S. lignohabitans and S. valenteae sp. nov. having the highest values. Our results suggest these Sugiyamaella species have good potential for biotechnological applications.
