Halolepadella Smet, 2015, gen. nov.
No full textGenus <i>Halolepadella</i> gen. nov. <p>(Figs 24, 25)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Lorica outline oval, compressed dorso-ventrally, closed laterally, with dorsal and ventral indentations for head and foot. Retractable head shield present. Foot with four pseudosegments; foot and toes completely retractable in trunk. Two slender, moderately long toes with acutely pointed claw. Trophi malleo-virgate. Rami reduced, triangular with lateral alulae. Fulcrum fairly short, thin, straight and less high, without distal expansion. Unci a thin plate with five slender teeth of decreasing length; head of teeth free, tiny additional linear teeth present. Manubria long, straight, head reduced; cauda strongly expanded.</p> <p> <b>Type species.</b> <i>Halolepadella pontica</i> (Althaus, 1957) <b>nov. comb.</b> for <i>Lepadella pontica</i> Althaus, 1957; junior synonym <i>Lepadella psammophila</i> Tzschaschel, 1978.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The prefix <i>halo</i> is derived from the Greek <i>hals</i>, salt, and refers to the saline environment the species lives in.</p> <p> <b>Material.</b> Several specimens from most of the study area (see Tab. 2 species list). A female in a permanent, glycerine glass slide mount deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), Brussels, Belgium, No. IG 33082, RIR 226.</p> <p> <b>Comments.</b> The main features differentiating the species from the genus <i>Lepadella</i> Bory de St. Vincent, 1826, and considered here as significant enough to justify the erection of a new genus are: (1) the foot and toes which are retractable in the lorica, but not retractable in <i>Lepadella</i>, and (2) the trophi morphology which is malleo-virgate, instead of malleate in <i>Lepadella</i>. The assignment to Lepadellidae is questionable and the trophi rather conform to the <i>Proales reinhardti</i> species group of Proalidae, characterized by reduced rami with strong apophyses and rami teeth fused into few stout projections, long distally incurved manubria with small head, plate-shaped unci with 4−5 larger teeth with free head, and foot opening delimited by a ventral and dorsal lobe of the lorica. The species is provisionally kept in family Lepadellidae awaiting molecular analyses to evaluate its exact phylogenetic position.</p> <p> Althaus (1957) erroneously interpreted the dorsal surface as being flat instead of arched, and described the toes as long and weakly incurved without mentioning the characteristic claws which, however, are clearly distinct in her microphotograph 13. The present author therefore opines that supposed differences between <i>Lepadella pontica</i> and <i>L. psammophila</i> result from inaccuracies in the original description, and the latter is here considered as subjective junior synonym. Koste (1978) synonymises <i>L. pontica</i> and <i>L. psammophila</i> with reserve, giving incorrectly priority to the second name.</p> <p> <b>Description of female.</b> Loricate. Lorica outline oval (Fig. 24 A, B); in cross-sectional view fairly convex and evenly arched dorsally, ventral margin flat to slightly concave; antero- dorsal sinus semi-hexangular, fairly narrow and shallow, with collar; antero-ventral sinus larger, semi-circular with small median indentation and slightly thickened border; head shield present (Fig. 24 E), median margin rounded, slightly strengthened, lateral margins weakly concave; lorica dorsally often with two more or less pronounced shallow longitudinal ridges extending from the lateral margins of the collar of the dorsal sinus till the corners of the foot opening, or continuing on the medio-dorsal lobe. Foot opening heart-shaped ventrally, dorsally elongate, narrowing distally, ventral and dorsal proximal margins a semi-circular lobe. Lateral antennae dorsal, close set, near corners of foot opening. Foot with four pseudosegments, distal segment longest, others almost equally long. Toes (Figs 24 D, F) slender, with long more or less cylindrical and distally tapering proximal part, and large, <i>c</i>. 3/4 of proximal part, lanceolate and movable distal spur; proximal part and spur with opening. Foot and toes completely retractable in trunk Four pedal glands. Two distinct pear-shaped, often dark-coloured salivary glands on mastax.</p> <p> Trophi malleo-virgate (Figs 24 G, 25). Rami strongly reduced, triangular, distal part recurved dorsally, very small; proximal part larger, with prominent distally rounded alulae and large dorsal opening; left ramus with strong basal apophysis, right ramus with at least three smaller sclerite elements, placed more apically; a fairly long cylindrical projection pointing antero-laterally (Figs 25 B, F, G: cp), left inserted on basal apophysis, right inserted on margin of ramus; subbasifenestrae small, rounded. Two long strings of sclerite bodies connected distally to rami; proximal sclerite bodies cylindrical and rounded terminally, distal ones becoming spherical. Fulcrum slightly longer than rami, thin, straight and less high, proximal extremity only slightly higher than distal one. Unci a thin plate with 5 slender knobbed teeth of decreasing length, and 1−2 tiny, linear additional teeth; free margin of major teeth with prominence at <i>c</i>. 2/3 from tip; subuncus a bundle of slender, fusiform sclerite bodies; preuncinal tooth lanceolate. Manubria long, straight, head reduced, cauda strong, bird’s head in appearance: ventrally curved and pointed, dorsally with rounded expansion; dorsal chamber a very thin triangular lamella, ventral chamber small, elongate triangular with small opening; median chamber with small elongate opening.</p> <p> <b>Measurements.</b> Body (N=10): lorica length 61‒80 µm, width 48‒60 µm, foot 18‒20 µm, toe 21‒28 µm, spur 10‒11 µm; trophi (N=5): length ~17−19 µm, ramus 2.6 µm, fulcrum 3.4 µm, uncus 5.2‒5.5 µm, manubrium 11.2‒11.4 µm.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology.</b> The species was described from sublittoral psammon at 2 m depth from Spatnite pjasatzi near Varna, Bulgaria, Black Sea (Althaus 1957), and reported from the intertidal of a sandy beach at the island of Sylt, Germany, North Sea (Tzschaschel 1979, 1980, 1983) and sublittoral of Elba Island, Tyrrhenian Sea (De Smet 2007). The present observations extend its distribution to the sublittoral of the Costa Blanca and Côte d’Azur, at distances of 50 m to 8 km off shore and depth of 10−50 m; June, August, September, October, water temperature 15−23 °C.</p>Published as part of <i>De Smet, Willem H., 2015, Rotifera from the Mediterranean Sea, with description of ten new species, pp. 151-196 in Zootaxa 4028 (2)</i> on pages 181-182, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/240556">http://zenodo.org/record/240556</a>
Aubrey Sherwood of the De Smet News
No full textThe author has selected two major contributions by Sherwood for the focus of this paper--Sherwood \u27s roles in developing the Dunn interests and the Wilder interests. In order to put those efforts into perspective, the author will review the history of The News and provide a brief biography of Aubrey Sherwood, emphasizing the kind of editor and businessman he was. This will set the stage for the exploring of the relationship between Sherwood and Harvey Dunn and the years Sherwood spent promoting the works of Dunn. The paper also will record the manner in which Sherwood used The News to promote the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the tourist attractions in DeSmet that tie to the Little Town on the Prairie years. There is no chronicle of Aubrey Sherwood\u27s life except for feature stories in the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader; Huron Daily Plainsman, Watertown Public Opinion, and Brookings Daily Register. Further, the only known biographical study of a South Dakota rural journalist is a 1969 master\u27s thesi s done a t S outh Dakota State University by Kenneth Schaack, entitled George W. Hopp: Brookings County Press 1879-1890. Information for this paper was collected through recorded personal interviews with Sherwood on March 23, 1978, and February 3, 1979, and through numerous unrecorded conversations; interviews with John Sittner and Gerry Sturges, neighboring publishers at Lake Preston and Arlington on February 15-16, 1979: and conversations and interviews with other Sherwood associates. The file copies (bound volumes of The DeSmet News) were researched from 1900-1977. Other documents, such as unpublished speeches written by Aubrey Sherwood, were used as were the books; De Smet Yesterday and Today, edited by Caryl Lynn Poppen , and The Prairie Is My Garden, written by Robert Karolevitz. This thesis should give a better understanding of the contributions of Aubrey Sherwood, to De Smet and to the state of South Dakota, and call attention to the influence a country editor can have beyond his print shop. The paper serves the author, who is now editor of The De Smet News, by providing a deeper understanding of the history of his newspaper and its community
