The NGSD is currently regarded as a behaviourally, morphologically and genetically distinct wild dog found at scattered high-altitude locations on mainland New Guinea, isolated from places where people live and, hence, largely isolated from village dogs associated with those people. We examined historical records to show that few, if any, of the founding members from the captive population of NGSDs, or dogs that served to diagnose Canis hallstromi Troughton, 1957, were, in fact, wild dogs or recent descendants of wild dogs. The continuing insistence that high altitude, wild-living NGSDs are a discrete population of dogs is incorrect. Rather, we recommend additional studies of village-living dogs across the span of altitudes and contend that these would yield much information about what was once a pan-New Guinean population of an unusual, and archaic, form of domestic dog.","PeriodicalId":35552,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Queensland Museum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79595924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, aside from newspaper reports and the few witness statements given at the coronial inquiry, the events of that day in June 1935 and its immediate aftermath have never been critically evaluated. As memories of what happened have either faded or been partly distorted with the passage of time, the fatality today remains only a footnote in the history of studies on the Conidae and their complex, pharmaceutically-valuable venoms. The species involved, Conus geographus Linnaeus, 1758, is now recognised as the most dangerous to humans of the Conidae and responsible for most and possibly all recorded fatalities. After 85 years, the case is revisited using available evidence including newspaper reports, relevant scientific and popular literature, witness statements, archival documents and the actual specimen responsible for the fatality. While tragic and probably avoidable, the death, via its extensive coverage by the press, undoubtedly has helped to save lives by educating a public largely unaware of the dangers from something as seemingly harmless as a sea snail. It is also concluded that Charles Garbutt, when all factors are considered, was most unfortunate to have lost his life in the way that he did. For future cone envenomations it is recommended that photography (if possible) of the specimen involved would assist both in patient reassurance and medical treatment.","PeriodicalId":35552,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Queensland Museum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82061296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gyrocochlea auct., characterised by brown, biconcave shells with a diameter of 3-7 mm, has been shown to be polyphyletic (Shea et al. 2010). Gyrocochlea s.s. is confirmed as a genus geographically restricted to the Border Ranges of south-east Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales (Stanisic 1990). This study utilised scanning electron microscopy of the shell architecture, qualitative and quantitative measurements of conchological features and anatomical dissection where suitable specimens were obtainable. Based on shell morphology, primarily protoconch sculptural patterns (as defined in Holcroft 2018), this study re-assigns three Gyrocochlea-grade species, G. chambersae (Stanisic, 2010), G. iuloidea (Forbes, 1851) and G. danieli (Stanisic, 2010) to three new genera, Stanisicaropa gen. nov., Whitcochlea gen.nov. and Radiolaropa gen.nov. respectively and diagnoses four new genera, Amfractaropa gen.nov., Comularopa gen.nov., Nodularopa gen. nov. and Xenoropa gen.nov.

Prochristianella odonoghuei Beveridge, 1990 becomes a junior synonym of Prochristianella butlerae Beveridge, 1990 based on identical strobilar and tentacular morphologies. Prochristianella omunae Beveridge and Justine, 2010 is reported from Australia for the first time, where it was recovered from the type host Neotrygon trigonoides (Castelnau, 1873). Additional new host records are included as well as extensions of known geographical distributions to now include south-eastern Queensland. Metacestodes were recovered from the digestive glands of yabbies, Trypaea australis (Dana, 1852), representing an undescribed species of Dollfusiella. Adults of this species were found in the spiral valves of N. trigonoides and Ae. ocellatus. Six species of metacestodes of trypanorhynch cestodes were recovered from the digestive glands of pistol shrimps, Alpheus spp. (A. richardsoni Yaldwyn, 1971 and A. papillosus Banner & Banner, 1982). Of these, three were identified as Parachristianella monomegacantha Kruse, 1959, Prochristianella aciculata Beveridge and Justine, 2010 and Zygorhynchus robertsoni Beveridge and Campbell, 1988, the adults of all three species being originally reported from batoids. Two undescribed species of Dollfusiella and undescribed species of Parachristianella and Zygorhynchus were also recovered from alpheid shrimps; definitive hosts were identified for each species, but the material available was insufficient to allow formal descriptions.  Cestoda, Trypanorhyncha, elasmobranchs, Callianassidae, Alpheidae, life cycles, new species.
