The near-cosmopolitan genusClytiais abundantly found in coastal waters, but difficulties of identification in this genus make nearly all species records of medusae suspect. Complex life histories, ambiguous taxonomic characters, and phenotypic plasticity pose serious problems for accurate species-level identifications and future revisions ofClytiaspecies. In the present study, morphological investigations and molecular analyses ofClytiaspecimens from the coastal waters of the East China Sea revealedClytia gulangensissp. nov. as a new species. DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene supported the new species as a separate species withinClytia, and phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial 16S rDNA and nuclear 18S rDNA further confirmed this new species to be a distinct lineage. Moreover, detailed observation of medusae and polyps of this species showed sufficient morphological differences from otherClytiaspecies for a diagnosis. Our results indicated that life cycle and DNA-based studies should be a standard approach in future biodiversity investigations ofClytiaspecies.

Strong Barrier

The gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus) is a common pelagic fish in the East China Sea. To evaluate the influence of Kuroshio Current in shaping the genetic structure of marine species, 10 populations of K. punctatus from Chinese and Japanese coastal waters were collected for analysis based on the mitochondrial DNA marker. All the Japanese populations exhibited higher nucleotide diversity than did Chinese populations. Two distinct clades were identified by the neighbour-joining tree based on haplotypes of Cyt b and the control region. Both AMOVA and pairwise Fst strongly supported the significant genetic divergence between Chinese and Japanese clades, which suggested strictly limited gene exchange. The mismatch distribution of Chinese clade and Japanese Clade B appeared to be unimodal, and Tajima’s D and Fu’s Fs statistics were significantly negative, and, therefore, the hypothesis of selective neutrality was rejected. The results indicated that the Kuroshio Current may not be the strong barrier for the dispersal of K. punctatus in the East China Sea. The climate of Pleistocene periods had played an important role in phylogeographical patterns of K. punctatus and the dispersal strategy of coastal species may be the major current physical barrier for the gene flow among populations from Chinese and Japanese coastal waters.
