Two New Species

Three species of the gobiid fish genus Bryaninops were previously known for the Red Sea: B. natans, B. ridens, and B.yongei. Two new species are described, B. discus, similar to B. loki, differing in coloration and in having dish-like insteadof cup-like pelvic fins in adults; and B. spongicolus, closely related to B. dianneae from Fiji, distinct in having shorterpelvic fins, a rounded instead of truncate caudal fin, and differences in life color. Bryaninops loki and B. tigris are reportedas first records for the Red Sea, the former from a specimen from Sudan and an underwater photo from the Sinai Peninsula, the latter from an underwater photo taken off Egypt.

A New Species

Six nephtyid species were identified from samples collected off the west coast of Saudi Arabia. Two of these species had been previously reported for the Red Sea (Inermonephtys aff. inermis, Nephtys palatii), three are new records (Aglaophamus lobatus, A. cf. verrilli, Micronephthys stammeri) and one is new to science (Inermonephtys aramco). Inermonephtys aramco was collected in the southern region of the Red Sea at depths between 60 and 83 m. It is characterized by the presence of branchiae from chaetiger 15 or 16, well-developed parapodial prechaetal lamellae, broadly rounded notopodial postchaetal lamellae and rudimentary neuropodial postchaetal lamellae. The species Nephtys palatii is transferred to the genus Micronephthys. Based on the current finding, the previously known bathymetric range of Micronephthys stammeri is extended from 4–7 to 17 m, and occurrence depths for N. palatii are given for the first time (4–90 m). Full descriptions are included for all species except M. stammeri. An identification key for all the species known to occur in the Red Sea is provided.

Malaise Traps

A survey of the Chrysididae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) of the Farasan Archipelago (Red Sea) was undertaken, mainly using Malaise traps and sweep nets from 2012 to 2017. Twenty-eight species belonging to eight genera were identified and recorded in this study (four of which are new records for the south-western Saudi Arabia). We have described four new species: (Hedychridium azizi sp. nov., Chrysis farasanensis sp. nov., Chrysis decolorata ssp. nov., Trichrysis flavicornis sp. nov.) A list of all species of Chrysididae recorded from the major Farasan Island is provided. The Chrysididae population of the Farasan Archipelago is composed mainly of species of South West Palaearctic Region. The presence of a few Afrotropical species is evidence of their expansion in the nearby Southern Arabia. Key word: Chrysididae, cuckoo wasp, Saudi Arabia, Jazan, Farasan Island, new species

Soft Bottoms

As part of a study dealing with polychaetes (Annelida: Polychaeta) from soft bottoms of the western coasts of AcapulcoBay, southern Mexican Pacific, 574 specimens of the genus Syllis Lamarck, 1818 were analyzed. Nine species are report-ed, of which Syllis garciai (Campoy, 1982) and Syllis glarearia (Westheide, 1974) are new records for the Mexican Pa-cific. Syllis magnipectinis (Storch, 1967), described from the Red Sea, is newly reported in the eastern Pacific; notes onits morphological variations and its distribution range are herein included. Additionally, two new species of Syllis are de-scribed: S. antoniae n. sp., is closely related to S. vivipara Krohn, 1869, but it has bidentate falcigers with a smaller sub-distal tooth and some falcigers with coarse spines on the edge. S. deleoni n. sp., is characterized by having bidentate falcigers with broad teeth and coarse spines and the body densely covered with papillae.

A New Species

The porcellanid crabs from the Red Sea are revised based on museum collections. A complete compilation of all species known from the Red Sea is presented, including four new records of species for that region. Petrolisthes aegyptiacus n. sp. is described on the basis of an old collection of porcellanids from the Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart. The presence of Petrolisthes lamarckii in the Red Sea is confirmed and a single specimen, which corresponds in its general characters to Petrolisthes donanensis from Japan, is reported. Porcellanella haigae is reported based on photographs from a field guide. As a result, 18 species are now known to occur in the Red Sea. Figures of all known species are included and an identification key to the species is provided.

This is the fifth publication describing species of sea slug heterobranchs, originally based on collections from the Red Sea by the author on four expeditions carried out in 1983 and 1990, with the addition of specimens subsequently collected by underwater photographers who were stimulated by the book "Sea Slugs of the Red Sea". So much material has been amassed that only the new species and new Red Sea records of chromodorids are described in this paper, with an appendix listing specimens of previously recorded species. Three new species are described in detail and illustrated, belonging to three different genera: Doriprismaticakyanomarginata sp. n., Glossodoriskahlbrocki sp. n., and Goniobranchuspseudodecorus sp. n. One western Pacific species is recorded for the first time in the Red Sea, Goniobranchuscollingwoodi (Rudman, 1987). The nomenclature of Verconiasudanica is discussed and stabilised.
