A New Species

The genus Pselactus in the Cape Verde Islands is reviewed. Pselactus obesulus (Wollaston, 1867) from São Vicente is redescribed and P. strakai sp. nov. from São Nicolau is described. Both species are diagnosed and illustrated; their larvae are described, larval morphology is discussed and the current state of knowledge about immature stages of Cossoninae is summarized. The systematic position of the genus within Onycholipini is reviewed, and the placement of genus in Cossoninae is discussed. A short note on biogeography of Pselactus is provided.

A New Species

Three tardigrade species from Santo Antão Island, Archipelago of Cape Verde are firstly reported from Republic of Cape Verde: Echiniscus scabrospinosus Fontoura, 1982, Echiniscus clavispinosus sp. nov. and Milnesium tardigradum Doyère, 1840. E. clavispinosus sp. nov. belongs to the ‘viridis group’ of species characterized by the green colour and plate ornamentation comprised of tubercles, fine dots and light spots, by lacking dorsal and lateral trunk appendages (cirrus A excluded) and well developed claws. E. clavispinosus sp. nov. differs from all the known species of the ‘viridis group’ in having the area between the paired plate III and the terminal plate unsculptured, in details of the cuticular ornamentation, pointed clavae instead of papillate apices, and stronger spur on internal claws. A dichotomous key to the species of the Echiniscus viridis group and a list of Macaronesian species are also given.

Caprella wirtzi sp. nov. from the Cape Verde Islands is described. It is close to C. liparotensis a species recorded from Portugal and along the Mediterranean coasts to the Black Sea, but distinguished from C. liparotensis by the morphology of antenna 2, gnathopod 2 and peraeonites 3, 6 and 7. Variation from C. liparotensis is also discussed.

A key is provided to 14 species of Scirtothrips recorded from Africa south of the Sahara, including Cape Verde Islands. S. dodonaeae sp. n. is described from Dodonaea in South Africa, and the possibility is discussed that South African populations here referred to as S. aff. dorsalis represent a new species. Type specimens of the six Scirtothrips species described by J.C.Faure have been re-examined, and brief diagnoses are provided for all 14 species.

A New Species

A survey of crustaceans associated with benthic invertebrates in near-shore habitats at islands of the Cape Verde archipelago yielded a new species belonging to the genusHeteromysis, subgenusOlivemysis:H. sabelliphilasp. nov. shows a non-obligatory association with the sabellid polychaeteBranchiomma nigromaculatumonly during the night. This is the first documented mysid–polychaete association. The mysids apparently took particles collected by the polychaete, suggesting a kleptoparasitic interspecific relationship. A set of three specifically modified setae on the antennular trunk is shared by the new species with twoHeteromysisspecies from Madeira (subtropical N.E. Atlantic), suggesting a close morphological relationship within the subgenusOlivemysis: withH. wirtzi, commensal of the sea anemoneTelmatactis cricoides, and withH. dardani, commensal of the hermit crabDardanus calidus. A key to the Heteromysinae of the E. Atlantic and Mediterranean is given.

A new species of Physiculus, P. caboverdensis n. sp., is described from the outer shelf and upper slope of the Cape Verde Islands. This species differs from all other congeners from the Atlantic Ocean by its peculiar dentition, composed of large fang-like teeth in both jaws, interspaced with smaller canine-like teeth, arranged in two series on upper jaw and one on lower. This is the tenth species of the genus to occur in the Atlantic Ocean and the third to be recorded from the Cape Verde Islands.
