Peniculus asinus, a new species of copepod parasitic on Sebastes (Pisces: Teleostei) off the Pacific coast of Canada is described and illustrated. The copepod is an unique member of its genus in that it possesses cephalothoracic holdfast processes. The discovery of a Peniculus with these processes is taken as evidence confirming the place of this genus in the family Pennellidae.

Abstract— A new species of Galianthe from the west coast of Colombia and Ecuador that has fruits with indehiscent mericarps is described and illustrated. Galianthe holmneielsenii is most similar to Borreria ocymifolia and G. spicata, but differs in floral, fruit, and seed traits. An illustration of the diagnostic characters, a distribution map, information about the conservation status of the new species, and a key to the Galianthe species in Colombia and Ecuador are provided.

A New Species

A new species Bradyidius saanichi from Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, is described and illustrated in detail. This species is closely related to B. pacificus (Brodsky, 1950) among the six previously known species in the genus, but can be readily distinguished from the latter by the strongly divergent rostral rami in addition to some other differences.

A New Species

A new deep-sea chiton of the genus Placiphorella Dall, 1879, Placiporella laurae n. sp. is described from the Pacific coast of North America. It is compared with its congener Placiphorella pacifica Berry, 1919, from which it differs primarily by having granular valves, lacking false beaks, a papillose girdle, and the characteristics of its girdle spicules

Variable Population

The tube-dwelling cross-lineate Navicula species on the west coast are dominated by a taxon that belongs in or near the N. ramosissima – N. mollis complex. Morphometric data were used to establish that a single, variable population exists. The species was assigned to N. rusticensis. Cells are 28 ± 7 × 5 ± 1 μm and striae number 14 ± 2 in 10 μm; these cells differ from the ramosissima–mollis complex in having 1–3 short central striae that form a narrow rectangular area. The range of size encompasses published limits for both N. ramosissima and N. mollis. A key to tube-dwelling diatoms of the west coast completes this two-part checklist. Key words: diatoms, Pacific, tube-dwelling, Navicula rusticensis, Navicula ramosissima.

Two well preserved specimens of nephropid lobster from the Late Cretaceous (late Campanian) Point Loma Formation in San Diego County, California, form the basis of description of a new species of Hoploparia. The occurrence represents the southernmost fossil record of macrurans along the Pacific coast of North America and it is only the third fossil lobster from California.

A New Species

The amphipod crustacean Talorchestia morinoi sp. nov. collected on the west coast of Tioman Island, Malaysia is described and illustrated.  So far no species belonging to the genus is known from Malaysia and this is the first record of the family Talitridae from Malaysia.  Differences between the new species and related species within the Talorchestia sensu Morino & Miyamoto, 1988 group are discussed and a key is also included.
