A New Species

Meiofauna sampling in the proximity of Syd-Hällsö Island (Strömstad, Sweden) revealed a new species of Kinorhyncha from the Skagerrak. The species, Setaphyes elenae sp. nov., is distinguished from its congeners by the arrangement of the middorsal cuticular specializations (it has shortened, distally rounded middorsal processes on segments 1 and 9 and middorsal elevations throughout segments 2–8), as well as by the presence of paired laterodorsal setae on segments 3, 5, 7 and 9 and ventromedial setae on segments 3, 5 and 7 in both males and females. The finding of a new species from the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean, provides new valuable information for the recently established genus in the Allomalorhagida.

A New Species

One specimen of a keratose sponge not ascribable to any known Atlantic genus was collected by scuba diving from the shallow rocky sublittoral of El Hierro (Canary Islands). The sponge is irregularly massive and very hard in consistency, with a microconulose and unarmoured surface. The skeleton is formed by primary fibres cored with abundant foreign debris and a densely reticulate network of secondary fibres, which are strongly laminated and free of foreign debris. An irregular tertiary network formed by very thin fibres is also visible in some places. The features of the skeleton differ from those of any genus known from the Atlantic Ocean but match those of the genus Petrosaspongia Bergquist described from the Indo-Pacific and represented up to now by the species P. nigra. The Atlantic species, here described as Petrosaspongia pharmamari n. sp., differs from P. nigra by its external colour (dark brown instead of black), its consistency (a little more compressible), the greater width of the primary and secondary fibres, the higher proportion of primary fibres and the smaller diameter of meshes. The finding of a second species confirms the validity of the genus Petrosaspongia. This is the first confirmed record of the genus outside the type locality.

A New Species

Haploops longiseta a new Haploops species is described based on an adult female collected in the north eastern Atlantic Ocean ( Bay of Biscay) in a baited trap: IFREMER-conceived engin PROSPER left on the sea bottom at a depth of 1460m. This species is characterized by a very long seta at the end of the mandibular palp, very long dorsal setae, and a pair of long apical setae on each lobe of the telson. The pereopod 7 basis is very broad and setose on the inner side. A summarized illustrated key, based on the position of the corneal lenses, is given for the Haploops species known.

Bougainvillia aberrans n.sp. is described from Bermuda in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Specimens were collected at a depth of 150 fathoms (274 m) from the polypropylene buoy line of a crab trap. The hydroid colony of B. aberrans is erect, with a polysiphonic hydrocaulus, a smooth to somewhat wrinkled perisarc, hydranths having a maximum of about 16 tentacles, and medusa buds arising only from hydranth pedicels. Medusae liberated in the laboratory from these hydroids differ from all other known species of the genus in having a long, spindle-shaped manubrium, lacking oral tentacles, having marginal tentacles reduced to mere stubs, and being very short-lived (surviving for a few hours at most). Gonads develop in medusa buds while they are still attached to the hydroids, and gametes are shed either prior to liberation of the medusae or shortly thereafter. The eggs are surrounded by an envelope bearing nematocysts (heterotrichous microbasic euryteles). The cnidome of both hydroid and medusa stages consists of desmonemes and heterotrichous microbasic euryteles. The diagnosis of the genus Bougainvillia is modified to accommodate this new deep-water species.
