New genus: Palaeocentroscymnus
Abstract: Fossil upper and lower squaliform shark teeth from the upper Austrian marine Molasse (Paratethys, Upper Egerian, Aquitanian) were collected. For testing the phylogenetic signal of 31 reviewed dental characters of both fossil and extant etmopterids and somniosids, we perform phylogenetic analyses using both parsimony and maximum likelihood approaches. Results indicate a close phylogenetic relationship of teeth collected for this study with the extant somniosid genus Centroscymnus. A number of preliminary or un-identified fossil teeth published in other studies were included in our analyses and cluster along with the fossils described herein suggesting to be synonym. Our results further allow for a revision of the type species of Paraetmopterus horvathi Underwood and Schlögl, 2013 and the description of Palaeocentroscymnus gen. nov.

Upcoming Meetings:
ESEB is delighted to welcome you to the Second Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology. Joint Congresses take place every six years and bring together four of the world's largest academic societies in the field of evolutionary biology: the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, the American Society of Naturalists, the Society for the Study of Evolution and the Society of Systematic Biologists. The first joint congress was in Ottawa, Canada in 2012. The current (i.e. second) will be held in Montpellier, France, on August 19-22 2018.
SHARKS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
SHARKS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
João Pessoa, 3-8 June, 2018
The Sharks International Conference is the first truly international event devoted to elasmobranchs, and its first two editions were held respectively in Cairns, Australia in 2010 and Durban, South Africa in 2014. The city of João Pessoa was chosen as the venue for this important event, which will also congregate members of the Brazilian Society for the Study of Elasmobranchs (SBEEL) and the American Elasmobranch Society (AES) in 2018.
João Pessoa, founded in August 5, 1585, is the capital of Paraíba state, northeastern Brazil. It is located in the easternmost portion of the Americas, where a cape named Ponta do Seixas enters the Atlantic Ocean. Its coastline extends for 24 kilometers, with nine beaches. The downtown area and neighbouring municipalities present many historical and tourist sites.
More information and an internet site of the event will soon be available. We hope to have many participants from all over the world.
The website and registration details for the OCS 2018 meeting next February are now online at http://www.oceaniasharks.org.au/conference-2018
The 2018 conference is going to be a little different. It’s going to be at Moreton Bay Research Station which is where in the early 2000’s a group of students started their own chondrichthyan focused workshops and seminars to provide a supportive and inclusive forum for presenting shark and ray research. Those events were part of what became the OCS in 2005. In 2018, we’re returning to where some of those early meetings were held, and incidentally, to a beautiful location on the coast with opportunities to dive with manta rays and leopard sharks following the conference. Research station based meetings have a different feel to the normal city or campus based meetings, and Stradbroke Island really is a beautiful location.
Registration and abstract submission are via the online form. Upon registering you should receive a PayPal receipt email as well as an acknowledgement from the conference website. If you encounter any problems with online registration or abstract submission, please contact Jon Smart (Jonathan.Smart@sa.gov.au).

New genus: Matticestus
New species: Matticestus anneae, Matticestus kathleenae
Abstract: Collections from the dwarf sawfish, Pristis clavata, near Darwin, Australia in 1997 led to the discovery of the new onchoproteocephalidean genus Matticestus n. gen.—a taxon that has been referred to in molecular phylogenetic analyses in which it has been included as "New genus 8." Its type species, Matticestus anneae n. gen., n. sp., and a second species, Matticestus kathleenae n. sp. are described. Placement of this taxon in the Onchoproteocephalidea is supported morphologically in that both species bear a scolex with 4 bothridia each with a pair of bipronged hooks and spinitriches that extend throughout the length of the body. Sequence data for the D1-D3 region of the 28S rDNA gene also place the genus solidly among the other elasmobranch-hosted members of the order. The new genus differs from the other elasmobranch-hosted genera in the order in its possession of a combination of biloculated bothridia with lateral lappets on the posterior margin of the anterior loculus and a pair of bipronged hooks with a distinctive configuration of tubercles and internal channels. Its members are also extremely small. In summary, Matticestus n. gen. is an unusually tiny, "spiny," genus of cestode that appears to exclusively parasitize sawfish of the genus Pristis.
