[Taxacom] highest number of new species described in one paper

[Kevin Tilbrook]

I recently (2006) described 72 new species of Bryozoa of 178 I recorded in a collection from the Solomon Islands!
No record I know but a high percentage of the total I recorded. Still probably less than half the diversity from the archipelago.

Subject: [Taxacom] highest number of new species described in one paper

I am trying to find out the largest number of species (or taxa for that matter) new to science, described in a single taxonomic paper published post 1900. 
Anyone has a favorite example?
