  1. We describe four new nodulose-spored species ofInocybefrom tropical regions of Africa:I. beninensis, I. flavipes, I. fuscobrunneaandI. pallidiangulata.The new species are recognised based on morphological data and phylogenetic analyses of ITS, 28S andRPB2sequences. Phylogenetic analyses indicated thatI. flavipesandI. beninensisare part of a subclade leading to theI. calidagroup.Inocybe fuscobrunneaappears sister to theI. asterosporagroup.Inocybe pallidiangulatais nested within a clade of mainly tropical species from South Asia, Africa, and South America, close to the subclade ofI. lilacinosquamosaandI. ayangannaefrom Guyana. Complete descriptions and illustrations, including photographs and line drawings, and a key to nodulose-spored taxa of tropical African species ofInocybeare provided.

  2. Abstract Horseshoe crabs as a group are renowned for their morphological conservatism punctuated by marked shifts in morphology associated with the occupation of non-marine environments and have been suggested to exhibit a consistent developmental trajectory throughout their evolutionary history. Here, we report a new species of horseshoe crab from the Ordovician (Late Sandbian) of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, from juvenile and adult material. This new species provides critical insight into the ontogeny and morphology of the earliest horseshoe crabs, indicating that at least some Palaeozoic forms had freely articulating tergites anterior to the fused thoracetron and an opisthosoma comprising 13 segments.
