Abstract The genus Xanthocalanus inhabits the intermediate and deep waters of the world ocean. The present study records and describes the first female individual of Xanthocalanus agilis Giesbrecht, 1893, collected in the South China Sea (13°0.21′N 113°0.21′E) at depths of 500-800 m. This species was identified by the following morphological characteristics: (i) rostrum with 2 slender filaments; (ii) posterolateral corners of fifth thoracic somite protuberant and triangular, reaching the posterior margin of genital somite; (iii) first segment of fifth pereiopod (P5) with a list of inner marginal spinules, distal segment short with 3 robust terminal spines. This finding expands the known global and vertical distribution of X. agilis.

Deep Waters

A new deep water acrothoracican species, Weltneria acanthostoma sp. nov., has been discovered from the area of the Blue Ridge Seamount, South China Sea, at a depth of 534 m. A single female was found in a burrow in the scleractinian Madrepora oculata. This specimen is assigned to the genus Weltneria due to the possession of six pairs of cirri and two-joined caudal appendages. Weltneria acanthostoma differs from its congeners in the morphology of the slightly sinusoid opercular bars having hooked posterior processes and four or five curved, conspicuous, simple teeth, and by the absence of a calcareous formation of the attachment disk. The genus Weltneria exhibits a Tethyan relictual pattern in its geographical distribution. The diagnosis of Weltneria is based on symplesiomorphies and the genus may be a non-monophyletic taxon.

A New Species

A new species of deep-water barnacle belonging to the family Poecilasmatidae is described from the South China Sea.Glyptelasma dentatumsp. nov. differs from its congeners in having an inwardly projecting tooth on either side of the internal median concavity of the basally expanded margins of the carina. Information on distribution and a key to the world’s species ofGlyptelasmaare provided.

Two New Species

Recent expeditions (NANHAI 2014, DONGSHA 2014 and ZHONGSHA 2015) conducted in deep waters of the South China Sea obtained interesting material of various spider crabs (Majoidea) including several new records for the area, and two new species of epialtids of the genera Oxypleurodon Miers, 1885 and Stegopleurodon Richer de Forges & Ng, 2009. Two poorly known species, previously only known from their types, Rochinia strangeri Serène & Lohavanijaya, 1973 and R. kagoshimensis (Rathbun, 1932) comb. nov., are redescribed, refigured, and their taxonomy discussed.
