A New Species

Alvinocaris niwa n. sp. is described from hydrothermal vents at the Brothers Caldera and Rumble V Seamount on the southern Kermadec Ridge, midway between the Kermadec Islands and Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Four hundred specimens of Alvinocaris longirostris Kikuchi & Ohta, 1995, described from Japan, are recorded at the Brothers. The presence of a possible third Alvinocaris at Rumble V and one or two species of Chorocaris at Brothers are also reported. Eighty-eight specimens of A. niwa and 41 of A. longirostris were measured and examined to assess morphological variation. Morphological characters used to distinguish alvinocaridids are shown to be highly variable. Pairwise correlations with carapace length indicate that numbers of teeth, spines and setae are generally not related to shrimp size. Descriptions based on small numbers of specimens are thus questionable. The new species is characterised by: short rostrum; paired sternal spines on abdominal somites I III; long stylocerite and robust distolateral spine on the antennular proximal segment, with a subterminal spine; two ventral spines on antennal basal segment; row of spines on distal segment of maxilliped III; and two rows of spines on flexor surface of P3 P5 dactyls. It is the shallowest alvinocaridid yet discovered and also inhabits the greatest depth range, at over 700 m.

New records of crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) from the New Zealand region, including a new species of Rochinia A. Milne-Edwards, 1875 (Majidae), and a revision of the genus Dromia Weber, 1795 (Dromiidae)

A New Species

Seven species and two families previously unknown from New Zealand are recorded: Dynomene pilumnoides Alcock, 1900, Metadynomene tanensis (Yokoya, 1933) (Dynomenidae new to New Zealand); Pseudopalicus undulatus Castro, 2000 (Palicidae); Mursia microspina Davie & Short, 1989 (Calappidae new to New Zealand); Ovalipes elongatus Stephenson & Rees, 1968, Thalamita danae Stimpson, 1858, (Portunidae); Percnon planissimum (Herbst, 1804) (Plagusiidae); Ontogenetic morphological changes in Nectocarcinus antarcticus (Portunidae) are described. The southern limit for Pseudopalicus undulatus is extended from Fiji to New Zealand and the depth limit from 410 m to more than 560 m. A checklist of Brachyura recorded from the Kermadec Is is also updated. The genus Dromia Weber, 1795 (Dromiidae) is revised and restricted to the Atlantic Ocean (6 species) and Metadromia gen. nov. and Tumidodromia gen. nov., are erected for Indo-West Pacific species previously included in Dromia sensu lato. A new species of Rochinia (Epialtidae) is described from the Rumble V seamount. The stridulatory ridges on the chelipeds of Ocypode (Ocypodidae), important for identification, are shown to be sexually dimorphic: males have more striae than females. A single specimen of O. pallidula is reported from the Leigh Marine Reserve where it may have been accidentally released.

A New Species

New species and new records of caridean shrimps are recorded from New Zealand. The hippolytid genera Leontocaris and Merhippolyte, and pasiphaeid genus Alainopasiphaea are reported for the first time from New Zealand waters, exemplified by three species of Leontocaris, Merhippolyte chacei and Alainopasiphaea australis, respectively. The three species of Leontocaris, M. chacei and A. australis were each previously known only from southern Australia. A new species of Lebbeus, the second to be recorded from New Zealand, is described. Lysmata vittata is recorded for the first time from New Zealand.

A New Species

Specimens of myxomycetes obtained as field collections or from moist-chamber cultures during surveys for these organisms carried out at several localities in New Zealand have yielded eight species not included in the monograph of the group published in 2003. One other species, listed provisionally as Diderma cf. miniatum on the basis of a single, rather limited collection, but now known from several additional collections, is described herein as Diderma novae-zelandiae. These new records bring the number of myxomycetes reported from New Zealand to 196 species.
