BILD
Vásquez, V.E., Ebert, D.A. & Long, D.J. (2015) Etmopterus benchleyi n. sp., a new lanternshark (Squaliformes: Etmopteridae) from the central eastern Pacific Ocean. Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation 17: 43-55.
Abstract
A new species of lanternshark, Etmopterus benchleyi n. sp., is described from eight specimens collected off the Pacific coast of Central America at depths ranging between 836 and 1443 meters. The new species is placed in the Etmopterus spinax clade by a lack of flank markings and the moderately short, slender, hook-like, conical dermal denticles distributed over the body. It can be distinguished from its closest congeners based on a combination of coloration, proportional body measurements, meristic counts, arrangement of dermal denticles, and size at maturity. The dorsal fins of the new species are either similar in size or the second dorsal fin is slightly larger than the first vs. the second dorsal fin distinctly larger than the first in E. granulosus, E. princeps, and E. litvinovi. The pre-oral length is shorter in the new species (6.9–9.0% TL) than in its closest congeners, E. granulosus (7.9-11.3% TL) and E. princeps (9-10% TL). The tooth count in the lower jaw is higher in E. benchleyi (30–36) than in E. granulosus (28), but lower than in E. litvinovi (40–50) and E. princeps (40–50). Photophores in E. benchleyi are sparse compared to other etmopterids and difficult to identify due to its uniform black color. This new species is also distinct from other members of the E. spinax clade in having dense concentrations of dermal denticles closely surrounding the eyes and gill openings. E. benchleyi is the only Etmopterus species presently known from the Pacific coast of Central America.

REINECKE, T. & VON DER HOCHT, F. & DUFRAING, L. (2015): Fossil basking shark of the genusKeasius (Lamniforme, Cetorhindiae) from the boreal North Sea Basin and Upper Rhine Graben: evolution of dental characteristics from the Oligocene to late Middle Miocene and description of two new species. Palaeontos, 28: 60 text-pages (incl. 24 text-figs and 2 tables).
New species: Keasius septemtrionalis, Keasius rhenanus
Abstract: Basking sharks of the extinct genus Keasius Welton, 2013 occurred widespread during the Oligocene and Early to Middle Miocene in marine environments of the North Sea Basin, Upper Rhine Graben, Paratethys and adjacent regions. These sharks were equipped with a gill raker apparatus for filter-feeding (elongate modified denticles attached to the gill arches), and a heterodont dentition suitable for grasping / tearing small-sized prey. We have studied a comprehensive collection of teeth and gill rakers from 45 locations (quarries, borings, temporary excavations) in Rupelian to Serravallian deposits. Two new species are described:Keasius septemtrionalis sp. nov. from the early / middle Chattian Sülstorf Beds, Mecklenburg, northeastern Germany, and Keasius rhenanus sp. nov. from the late Burdigalian Lower Mica Finesand Formation, Lower Saxony, northern Germany. This study allows to document and interprete for the first time variations due to heterodonty in the dental morphology of Keasius parvus (Leriche, 1908) by means of abundant teeth collected from the Rupelian Alzey Formation, Mainz Basin, western Germany, and the Rupelian Boom Clay Formation, northern Belgium. Artificial tooth sets characterized by dignathic and disjunct-monognathic heterodonty,based on the „lamnoid tooth pattern“, are proposed for the three Oligo-Miocene species of Keasius and compared with reconstructed dentitions of the Late EoceneKeasius taylori proposed by Welton (2013).
KOOT, M.B. & CUNY, G. & ORCHARD, M.J. & RICHOZ, S. & HART, M.B. & TWITCHETT, R.J. (2015): New hybodontiform and neoselachian sharks from the Lower Triassic of Oman. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 13 (10): 891-917
New genus: Safrodus, Polyfaciodus
New species: Omanoselache halli, Safrodus tozeri, Polyfaciodus pandus
Abstract: Elasmobranchs are reported for the first time from Lower Triassic deposits in Oman. The well-preserved remains consist of isolated teeth, dermal denticles and fin spines, recovered from conodont residues. The low-palaeolatitude sections consist of Lopingian–Olenekian shallow and pelagic carbonates in exotics, olistoliths and breccia blocks that have been redeposited in younger allochthonous strata of the Hawasina Basin throughout the Oman Mountains at Jabal Safra (olistoliths within the Jurassic Guwayza Formation, Olenekian), as well as at Wadi Alwa (exotic Alwa Formation, Lopingian–Olenekian) and Wadi Wasit Block (slope breccia in the Al Jil Formation, Induan), both of which occur in the Ba'id region. The recovered fauna contains a small number of pre-existing genera, but is mainly composed of new hybodont and neoselachian taxa. They are identified as:Omanoselache halli Koot & Cuny sp. nov., cf. Omanoselache sp., Safrodus tozeri Koot & Cuny gen. et sp. nov. and Polyfaciodus pandus Koot & Cuny gen. et sp. nov., based on the majority of the recovered dental remains. Spine fragments are identified as cf.Amelacanthus sp. This fauna represents the second published record of neoselachian teeth from the Induan and the most extensive record from the Lower Triassic in terms of abundance and diversity. The fauna is dominated by Neoselachii, whereas other Early Triassic faunas are hybodont-dominated, and histological study of the neoselachian enameloid significantly adds to our knowledge of the early stages of their evolution. All described taxa are new to the Oman fossil record and that of western Neotethys, apart from Omanoselache and Amelacanthus, which have been recognized from Wordian deposits, and Omanoselache is the second genus from Oman known to have survived the late Permian mass extinction. The level of faunal diversity recognized here is comparable to other Early Triassic faunas but is much reduced compared to the Wordian pre-extinctions fauna.

PULIDO-FLORES, G. & MONKS, S. & VIOLANTE-GONZÁLEZ, J. (2015): Denarycotyle gardneri n. gen., n. sp (Monogenea: Monocotylidae: Euzetiinae), from the gills of Rhinoptera steindachneri(Rhinopteridae) from Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 86 (3): 582-589
New genus: Denarycotyle
New species: Denarycotyle gardneri
Abstract: Denarycotyle gardneri n. gen., n. sp. (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) is described from the gills of the stingray, Rhinoptera steindachneri (Myliobatidae), collected in marine waters off Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. The genus is assigned to Euzetiinae because it has a haptor with one centralloculus, one additional loculus on either side of the central loculus and 10 peripheral loculi. However, the genus described herein can be distin-guished from Euzetia, the only genus currently assigned to Euzetiinae, by the presence of two accessory structures on the dorsal surface of thehaptor and hamuli with a sclerotized accessory piece on each hamulus. Specimens of D. gardneri n. gen., n. sp. were found on the gills of 4 of18 individuals of R. steindachneri (22%) but were not present on Rhinobatos glaucostigmaJordan and Gilbert (1 individual), Urotrygon rogersi(Jordan and Starks) (2), Narcine entemador Jordan and Starks (3), Aetobatus narinari (Euphrasen) (1) or Dasyatis longa (Garman) (3). This isthe third genus and the fourth species of a monogenean recorded from Rhinoptera and the second member of Euzetiinae from Mexico and fromthe neotropics. Keys to the subfamilies of Monocotylidae and to the species of Euzetiinae, as well as a hypothesis of phylogenetic relationshipsbetween Heterocotylinae, Decacotylinae, and Euzetiinae are provided.
MENORET, A. & IVANOV, V.A. (2015): Trypanorhynch cestodes (Eutetrarhynchidae) from batoids along the coast of Argentina, including the description of new species in Dollfusiella Campbell et Beveridge, 1994 and Mecistobothrium Heinz et Dailey, 1974. Folia Parasitologica, 62: 058
New species: Dollfusiella acuta, Mecistobothrium oblongum
Abstract: During a recent parasitological survey of elasmobranchs along the coast of Argentina, two new species of eutetrarhynchid cestodes of the generaDollfusiella Campbell et Beveridge, 1994 and Mecistobothrium Heinz et Dailey, 1974 were collected from batoids. Dollfusiella acuta sp. n. was found in four arhynchobatid skates, i.e. Sympterygia acuta Garman (type host), Sympterygia bonapartii Müller et Henle, Atlantoraja castelnaui (Miranda Ribeiro) and Atlantoraja platana (Günther), and Mecistobothrium oblongum sp. n. in the eagle ray Myliobatis goodei Garman. Dollfusiella acuta sp. n. has a tentacular armature consisting of basal rows of uncinate hooks, a distinct basal swelling with uncinate, falcate and bill hooks, and a heteroacanthous metabasal armature with heteromorphous hooks (bothrial uncinate hooks and antibothrial falcate hooks), hooks 1(1') not separated, testes in two columns and an internal seminal vesicle. The tentacular armature of M. oblongum sp. n. is characterised by basal rows of uncinate hooks, a basal swelling with uncinate and falcate hooks, a typical heteroacanthous metabasal armature with heteromorphous hooks (uncinate and falcate to spiniform), and hooks 1(1') separated and of a constant size along the tentacle. It also possesses an elongate scolex, numerous testes arranged in 5-6 irregular columns, and an internal seminal vesicle. The discovery of M. oblongum in M. goodei represents the first record of species of Mecistobothrium in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. An amended description of Dollfusiella cortezensis (Friggens et Duszynski, 2005) is also provided to clarify details of the scolex and tentacular armature. Members of Dollfusiella in the southwestern Atlantic are specific to a single host species or to a particular host family, while M. oblongum was found in a single host species. Although globally some plerocerci of eutetrarhynchids have been found in teleosts, extensive examination of teleosts off the coast of Argentina suggests that the transmission pathways of these species are exclusively based on invertebrates as intermediate or paratenic hosts.
