A Redescription of Protellina ingolfi (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Caprellidae) from the North-Eastern Atlantic

Protellina ingolfi Stephensen, 1944 was first reported from the southern Norwegian Sea, collected during the Danish Ingolf Expedition in 1895–96. This species was described from what Stephensen presumed was a adult male specimen (Stephensen, 1944). Additional specimens collected during the joint Nordic BIOFAR (Biological Investigation of the Faroes) and BIOICE (Biological Investigation of Iceland) programmes differ from the original description by Stephensen. Male, female and juvenile males are described and illustrated, and any morphological difference between Stephensen's (1944) original description and current material are discussed.

Deep-water cores selected at AMK 5536 and 5524 stations on the 68th cruise of the research vessel «Academik Mstislav Keldysh» from the north-eastern part of the Norwegian-Greenland basin were investigated by sedimentological and micropaleontological methods. Changes in benthic foraminifera communities in the Norwegian Sea, their changes in time, which make it possible to use paleooceanological reconstructions and associate them with marine isotope stages are considered.

A new species of vesicomyid bivalve (Isorropodon nyeggaensis sp. nov.) is described based on shell morphology, from the Nyegga cold methane seep area on the Norwegian continental margin. This is the first description of vesicomyids from the Norwegian Sea and the northernmost record of recent representatives of the family Vesicomyidae. A dispersion of the genus into the Norwegian Sea basin from the north-eastern Atlantic is suggested. A brief description of other macrofauna from methane seep sites at Nyegga is also given.

Thaddeus William Harris described the green mole of Maine, Condylura prasinata (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Talpidae), in the July 1825 issue of the Boston Journal of Philosophy and the Arts, and this was considered the original description of the species throughout most of the nineteenth century. In the early twentieth century, taxonomists began instead to cite an earlier notice in the June 1825 issue of the American Journal of Science and Arts. This short article also described the species, but also established a separate genus for it, Astromycter, despite Harris’s indications elsewhere that the species was congeneric with the star-nosed mole, Condylura cristata ( Linnaeus, 1758 ). Moreover, the American Journal of Science and Arts article cited as its source the “ Machias Star”, indicating the possibility of an even earlier description of the animal. With Astromycter prasinata in synonymy with C. cristata for over a century, little effort has been exerted to determine whether earlier source materials exist or why, within two months, the green mole was allocated to two different genera by its describer. The question is taxonomically relevant today because C. prasinata predates C. cristata nigra Smith, 1940 , as an available name for north-eastern populations of star-nosed moles. If subspecies of C. cristata are to be recognized, the north-eastern subspecies should correctly bear the name C. cristata prasinata. In fact, authority for both genus- and species-group names for the green mole have been misattributed since 1825. The descriptions of C. prasinata by Thaddeus William Harris in the Boston Journal of Philosophy and the Arts and American Journal of Science and Arts were preceded by at least three published descriptions of A. prasinatus by Thaddeus Mason Harris, his father.

An adult male specimen ofUca rapax(Crustacea, Decapoda, Ocypodidae), containing bilaterally hypertrophied chelipeds, was found in the mangrove area of the Rio Grande do Norte state, north-eastern Brazil. The chelipeds are subequal in size and similar to the major cheliped of normal male specimens ofUca rapax. This paper is the first record of the aforementioned anomaly for the species from the Brazilian coastline.

A checklist of earthworm species hitherto recorded from North Eastern Region (NER) of India is presented. In total, 128 species/subspecies belonging to 26 genera spread over 9 families are listed. Of these, 72 species are recognized as endemics, 18 as near endemics, 5 as native peregrines and 32 as exotics. The checklist includes literature citation to the original description, type locality, important synonyms and the state-wise distributional records for each species/subspecies.

Abstract The present article reports Dicranosepsis javanica (de Meijere 1904) (Diptera: Sepsidae) from Meghalaya and makes a note of its Oriental distribution range. The specimens were sampled in January 2014 by sweep net in the village of Schnongrim, Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, situated in the north-eastern part of India. A short morphological description is provided for the male specimen, while the female taxonomic characters are presented for the first time. The taxonomic identification of species was confirmed by DNA Barcoding.

On June 7, 2018, a sub-mesoscale anticyclonic eddy induced by the wind (north-east) was registered on the shelf in the area of the city of Gelendzhik. With the help of field multidisciplinary expedition ship surveys, it was shown that this eddy exists in the layer above the seasonal thermocline. At the periphery of the eddy weak variability of hydrochemical parameters and quantitative indicators of phytoplankton were recorded. The result of the formation of such eddy structure was a shift in the structure of phytoplankton – the annual observed coccolithophores bloom was not registered.
