The diagnostic characters are discussed for the North African genus Prionomeion Benson, 1939 (Hymenoptera, Diprionidae, Diprioninae). The type species, Prionomeion gaullei (Konow, 1906), is redescribed based on the holotype (female) and one male, both from Algeria. The second species of the genus, P. maghrebense sp. nov. is described based on one female from Morocco and one male from Algeria. A key to the Palaearctic genera of the subfamily Diprioninae is given.

Argochampsa krebsi is a gavialoid crocodylian from the early Paleogene of North Africa. Based on its recovered phylogenetic relationship with South American species, it has been inferred to have been capable of transoceanic dispersal, but potential anatomical correlates for a marine lifestyle have yet to be identified. Based on CT scans of a mostly complete and well-preserved skull, we reconstruct the endocranial anatomy of Argochampsa and compare it to that of other gavialoids.
