> [...] Polyophthalmus qingdaoensis, new species;
> Micronerilla brevis, new species; Paraleiochrides, new genus.
Further information on the above:
Polyophthalmus qingdaoensis was published two years ago.
Purschke,G; Ding,Z; Muller,MC (1995): Ultrastructural Differences As A
Taxonomic Marker - The Segmental Ocelli Of Polyophthalmus Pictus And
Polyophthalmus Qingdaoensis Sp N (Polychaeta, Opheliidae). Zoomorphology
115(4, Nov), 229-241.
The thoracic seta equation in the abstract for _Paraleiochrides_ Zhang &
Sun got mangled somewhere along the line and is useless. The intended
version is properly in the conference booklet (poster paper) as something
like;
Peristomium + 1 s/o + 10 s/s + 1 s/u
_Micronerilla brevis_ comes from a Russian poster in the booklet.
Regrettably I don't think the physical item, along with all Russians
except one, made it to the conference. Currently we have full papers in
the proceedings that weren't presented at the conference - I'm happy with
that. But, if the situation should occur again, I wonder if the line
should be firmly drawn against abstracts that weren't presented? What is
the point of them?

There are manuals for biology editors. If it's not already in them it
surely should be.
