Cephalosome defined from metasome; metasome forming brood pouch and incorporating fifth pedigerous somite. Genital openings located posteriorly on prosome.

Socotradelphys Kim & Boxshall 2020, gen. nov.
No full textSocotradelphys gen. nov. Diagnosis. Body maggot-shaped, consisting of unsegmentedprosomeandvestigialurosome.Bodysurface ornamented with sparsely scattered, minute spinules. Urosome unsegmented, positioned posterodorsally on prosome, bilobed posteriorly, with deep posteromedial incision. Caudal rami lobate, lacking caudal setae. Cephalosome with large, bulbous ventrolateral processes positioned in same plane as labrum.Antenna rudimentary, but segmented and tipped with claw; positioned between bases of labrum and ventrolateral process. Labrum large, conical. Mouthparts absent. Leg 1 as globular lobe, located posterior to labrum. Legs 2–5 absent. Type species. Socotradelphys unipedata gen. et sp. nov. by original designation. Etymology. The generic name Socotradelphys is derived from “ Socotra Island ”, Yemen, the type locality of thetype species, and - delphys. Gender feminine. Remarks. Boxshall & Marchenkov (2007) analysed the phylogenetic relationships between five highly transformed genera within the Notodelphyidae and referred to them as the Brementia -group. These genera are Brementia Chatton & Harant, 1915, Achelidelphys Lafargue & Laubier, 1977, Anoplodelphys Lafargue & Laubier, 1978, Paranoplodelphys Boxshall & Marchenkov, 2007, and Pholeterides. Socotradelphys gen. nov. certainly belongs to this group and is characterised by its extremely simplified body structure. It lacks the rostrum, antennules, mouthparts, and legs 2–4. Within the group, Socotradelphys gen. nov. appears to be more closely related to Anoplodelphys than to the other genera, because it carries a pair of ventrolateral processes on the cephalosome. However, all known speciesof Anoplodelphys have a rostrum and paired antennules, plus at least two pairs of biramous legs (legs 1 and 2) so the lack of a rostrum and antennules, and the possession of a uniramous leg 1 only, serves to distinguish the new genus from Anoplodelphys.Published as part of Kim, Il-Hoi & Boxshall, Geoff A., 2020, Untold diversity: the astonishing species richness of the Notodelphyidae (Copepoda: Cyclopoida), a family of symbiotic copepods associated with ascidians (Tunicata), pp. 1-6 in Megataxa 4 (1) on page 653, DOI: 10.11646/megataxa.4.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/459113

Head with flared swollen posterolateral margins to dorsal cephalic shield. Antennule conical, tapering strongly from broad base. Antenna robust, with strong apical claw. Labrum an elongate lobe.

Maxilliped elongate, indistinctly two-segmented with dense covering of hair-like setules over distal segment. First to fourth swimming legs distributed along trunk; leg pairs robust, biramous, rami typically with one or two sclerotized points derived from outer distal angles of proximal and middle segments, plus an array of reduced setae on vestigial distal segment. Fifth legs represented by paired setae on body surface. Genital field with midventral copulatory pore. Abdomen terminating in paired caudal lobes, each bearing cluster of setae derived from incorporated caudal rami. Male unknown.Published as part of Boxshall, Geoff A. & Marchenkov, Andrey, 2005, A new genus of notodelphyid copepod (Crustacea, Copepoda, Cyclopoida) from a compound ascidian host collected in the Suez Canal, pp. 483-497 in Zoosystema 27 (3) on page 484, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.539840
The Demidenko story so far [Monkeys discussing controversial author Helen Darville/Demidenko] [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 22 August 1995.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3512930. Helen Demidenko's controversial book 'The Hand that Signed the Paper' causes much comment from the 'chatterati' when it wins the 1995 Miles Franklin Award . When the author is later revealed to be Helen Darville and the book itself to be a total invention, the comment continues unabated.--Information supplied by Geoff Pryor
