| Abstract | New material of the trigonotarbids Alkenia and Archaeomartus from the Lower Devonian type locality Alken an der Mosel/Germany is described. Størmer’s original description of Alkenia is essentially confirmed and supplemented. The genus is placed in Aphantomartidae. In contrast to earlier accounts, we show that Archaeomartus has an anterior diplotergite and a longitudinally three-divided posteriormost (ninth) tergite. The new family Archaeomartidae is proposed. Whether a marginal row of larger tubercles on the opisthosoma can be recognized is strongly influenced by the taphonomic history of the fossil, and sexual dimorphism may also be involved. Thus, we propose that Archaeomartus levis and A. tuberculatus, which can be discriminated solely by the presence or absence of this feature, are synonyms. Furthermore, morphological similarity suggests the possibility that archaeomartids, with their opisthosomal tergites divided into three plates, gave rise to the later (Carboniferous) anthracomartids, specifically through the division of the lateral plates and the ninth tergite. Finally, our reassessment of Archaeomartus shows that ‘A.’ roessleri Dunlop and Brauckmann, 2006 can no longer be adequately maintained in this genus. This younger species from the early Upper Carboniferous of Hagen-Vorhalle, Germany, is reassigned to Namurotarbus n. gen. as Namurotarbus roessleri n. comb.Neue Funde der Trigonotarbiden Alkenia und Archaeomartus aus dem Unterdevon der Typuslokalität Alken an der Mosel werden bearbeitet. Størmers ursprüngliche Beschreibung von Alkenia wird im Wesentlichen bestätigt und ergänzt. Die Gattung wird in die Familie Aphantomartidae gestellt. Im Gegensatz zu früher geäußerten Ansichten können wir zeigen, dass Archaeomartus einen vorderen Diplotergit und einen dreigeteilten letzten (neunten) Tergit besitzt. Die neue Familie Archaeomartidae wird vorgeschlagen. Die Erkennbarkeit einer Reihe von größeren Tuberkeln entlang des Opisthosoma-Randes variiert stark in Abhängigkeit von taphonomischen Faktoren. Zudem könnte sich in der Ausprägung dieses Merkmals ein möglicher Sexualdimorphismus abzeichnen. Archaeomartus levis und A. tuberculatus, die sich nur anhand dieses einen Merkmals unterscheiden lassen, werden folglich als synonym angesehen. Darüber hinaus legt die große morphologische Übereinstimmung die Möglichkeit nahe, dass sich ausgehend von den Archaeomartiden mit dreigeteilten, opisthosomalen Tergiten die jüngeren (karbonischen) Anthracomartiden entwickelt haben, was insbesondere mit einer weiteren Teilung der Lateralplatten und des neunten Tergiten einherging. Schließlich zeigt unsere Neuuntersuchung von Archaeomartus, dass „A.” roessleri Dunlop and Brauckmann, 2006 nicht länger der Gattung zugeordnet werden kann. Diese Art aus dem frühen Oberkarbon von Hagen-Vorhalle, Deutschland wird in die neue Gattung Namurotarbus n. gen. als Namurotarbus roessleri n. comb. gestellt. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
