Two New Species

Three species of the gobiid fish genus Bryaninops were previously known for the Red Sea: B. natans, B. ridens, and B.yongei. Two new species are described, B. discus, similar to B. loki, differing in coloration and in having dish-like insteadof cup-like pelvic fins in adults; and B. spongicolus, closely related to B. dianneae from Fiji, distinct in having shorterpelvic fins, a rounded instead of truncate caudal fin, and differences in life color. Bryaninops loki and B. tigris are reportedas first records for the Red Sea, the former from a specimen from Sudan and an underwater photo from the Sinai Peninsula, the latter from an underwater photo taken off Egypt.

A New Species

The infraorder Thalassinidea Latreille, 1831 [sensu stricto] includes three families: Thalassinidae Latreille, 1831; Upogebiidae Borradaile, 1903; and Laomediidae De Haan, 1849 (cf. Sakai & Sawada, 2006). However, recent examination of material from Kuwait in the Pershian Gulf, showed the occurence of a new species,Kuwaitupogebia nithyanandangen. et sp. nov., and this has made it possible to establish a new family, Kuwaitupogebiidae fam. nov., based on that new genus. The genusUpogebiaLeach, 1814 is known to include nine species from the Red Sea area, yet herein two new species,Upogebiaspongicolasp. nov. from the Reef at Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt, andUpogebia jizanensissp. nov. from off Jizan, Saudi Arabia, Red Sea, can be added, based on material lodged in the collections of the museum in Frankfurt a. M.

This study is a revision of the poorly known genus Pseudochitinopoma Zibrowius, 1969 (Annelida, Serpulidae), erected for Hyalopomatopsis occidentalis Bush, 1905 from the West Coast of North America. Subsequently, an unnamed Pseudochitinopoma sp. nov. from the Seychelles (ten Hove 1994) (described herein as P. amirantensis sp. nov.) and P. pavimentata Nishi, 1999 were added to the genus. Ficopomatus capensis Day, 1961 is herein referred to Pseudochitinopoma, based on examination of the type material. Finally, Pseudochitinopoma beneliahuae sp. nov. was described from Western Australia and the Red Sea. Reproductive patterns and phylogenetic affinities of Pseudochitinopoma spp. are discussed.

The fishes of the genus Epigonus Rafinesque, 1810 in the Western Indian Ocean (including the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden) are reviewed. Twelve species of the genus are recognized: Epigonus angustifrons Abramov & Manilo, 1987; E. denticulatus Dieuzeide, 1950; E. elongatus Parin & Abramov, 1986; E. exodon Okamoto & Motomura, 2012; E. lenimen (Whitley, 1935); E. macrops (Brauer, 1906); E. marimonticolus Parin & Abramov, 1986; E. marisrubri Krupp, Zajonz & Khalaf, 2009; E. pectinifer Mayer, 1974; E. robustus (Barnard, 1927); E. telescopus (Risso, 1810); E. waltersensis Parin & Abramov, 1986, and two new species, E. bispinosus n. sp. and E. idai n. sp. Epigonus bispinosus and E. idai belong to the E. constanciae group, defined as having a pungent opercular spine, more than 45 pored lateral-line scales, and lacking an isolated dorsal fin spine between the first- and second dorsal fins. Epigonus bispinosus differs from other members of the group in having two small spines on the symphysis of lower jaw, a pair of ribs on the last abdominal vertebra, 10 + 15 vertebrae, 31–33 gill rakers and lacking a maxillary mustache-like process. Epigonus idai differs from other members of the group in having a pair of ribs on the last abdominal vertebra, 4–5 tiny projections present on symphysis of lower jaw, 10 + 15 vertebrae, strongly ctenoid scales, and 28–29 gill rakers, and in lacking a maxillary mustache-like process. A key to the species, photographs, diagnoses, and distributions in the Western Indian Ocean are given.

Up to the present, 31 species of the infraorders Callianassidea Dana, 1852, and Thalassinidea Latreille, 1831 have been reported from the Red Sea area, of which nine, viz.,Gilvossius bouvieri(Nobili, 1904),G. gravieri(Nobili, 1905),G. maldivensis(Borradaile, 1904),Notiax amboinensis(De Man, 1888),Lepidophthalmus rosae(Nobili, 1904),Neocallichirus calmani(Nobili, 1904),N. indicus(De Man, 1905),N. vaugelasiDworschak, 2011, andPodocallichirus madagassus(Lenz & Richters, 1881), are reviewed in this paper for further unambiguous classification and identification. As a result of this review, one new genus,Lepidophthalminusgen. nov. and two new species,Gilvossius chichijimaensissp. nov. andNeocallichirus kenyaensissp. nov., are here proposed.

As part of a study dealing with polychaetes (Annelida: Polychaeta) from soft bottoms of the western coasts of AcapulcoBay, southern Mexican Pacific, 574 specimens of the genus Syllis Lamarck, 1818 were analyzed. Nine species are report-ed, of which Syllis garciai (Campoy, 1982) and Syllis glarearia (Westheide, 1974) are new records for the Mexican Pa-cific. Syllis magnipectinis (Storch, 1967), described from the Red Sea, is newly reported in the eastern Pacific; notes onits morphological variations and its distribution range are herein included. Additionally, two new species of Syllis are de-scribed: S. antoniae n. sp., is closely related to S. vivipara Krohn, 1869, but it has bidentate falcigers with a smaller sub-distal tooth and some falcigers with coarse spines on the edge. S. deleoni n. sp., is characterized by having bidentate falcigers with broad teeth and coarse spines and the body densely covered with papillae.
