Article Reference A new tribe, two new genera and three new species of Cypridopsinae (Crustacea, Ostracoda, Cyprididae) from Brazil. 
We describe one new tribe, two new genera and three new species of the subfamily Cypridopsinae Kaufmann, 1900 from Brazilian floodplains. Brasilodopsis gen. nov. belongs in the nominal tribe Cypridopsini, and both new species in this new genus were found in both sexual and asexual populations. Brasilodopsis baiabonita gen. et sp. nov. has a wide distribution and was found in three of the four major Brazilian floodplains. Brasilodopsis amazonica gen. et sp. nov. was recorded only from the Amazon floodplain. Brasilodopsis baiabonita gen. et sp. nov. has a subtriangular shape in lateral view, whereas Brasilodopsis amazonica gen. et sp. nov. is more elongated and has more rounded dorsal margins in both valves, as well as more pronounced external valve ornamentation, consisting of rimmed pores in shallow pits. Paranadopsis reducta gen. et sp. nov. was found in asexual populations in the Upper Paraná River floodplain only and differs from other Cypridopsinae in the more elongated carapace, an A1 with strongly reduced chaetotaxy (hence the specific name) and the total absence of caudal rami in females. Because of these strong reductions in valve and limb morphology, Paranadopsini trib. nov. is created within the Cypridopsinae for this intriguing new genus and species.

Inproceedings Reference A Paleocene occurrence of cornelian cherries Cornus subg. Cornus in the land-mammal site of Berru (Paris Basin, France)
Cornus subgenus Cornus, also called cornelian cherries, is a relatively ancient clade of dogwoods with a complex biogeographic history. Their fossil record attests to a distribution in North America during the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene, whereas the earliest fossil record in Europe is dated as early as the Eocene. Here, we describe a new occurrence of cornelian cherries based on permineralized endocarps from the late Paleocene (ca. 58 Ma) land-mammal locality of Berru, in Northwest France. The 48 studied specimens possess characteristic cornelian cherry endocarp morphology with locules associated with a dorsal germination valve, no central vascularization, and the presence of numerous secretory cavities in the endocarp wall. In addition, the presence of (three)-four locules and a large apical depression strongly suggest affinities with the early Eocene species Cornus multilocularis from the London Clay Formation. This new occurrence expands the stratigraphic range of the species by approximately four to six million years and is the first unequivocal evidence of cornelian cherries in Europe during the Paleocene. The biogeographical history of cornelian cherries remains complex to explore because of its ancient distribution in the Cretaceous and a geographically and stratigraphically patchy Cenozoic record.
