A New Species

A new species of Leuckartiara, Leuckartiara foersteri n.sp., is described and illustrated. It is differentiated from all other species of the genus by marginal tentacles without abaxial spurs, and gonads with parallel folds, situated on adradial sides of cross-shaped manubrium with no distinct interradial connection.

A New Species

No collection of littoral Polychaeta from the west coast of Vancouver island has hitherto been described. This paper records twenty-eight species collected on that coast at two bays north of Barkley sound. Of these twenty-eight species, twenty-two have already been recorded from the east coast of the island. Of the six remaining species, two have previously been known from California only, one from California and Japan and one from Alaska only; one is a new record for the west coast of North America and one is a new species.

A New Species

A new species of colonial athecate hydroid, Rhysia fletcheri, is described from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and from Friday Harbor, Washington, U.S.A. Its relationship to Rhysia autumnalis Brinckmann from the Mediterranean and Rhysia halecii (Hickson and Gravely) from the Antarctic and Japan is discussed. Rhysia fletcheri differs from Rhysia autumnalis and Rhysia halecii in the gastrozooid having distinctive cnidocyst clusters on its hypostome and few, thick tentacles. Most of its female gonozooids have no tentacles. Colonies of R. fletcheri are without dactylozooids. The majority of R. fletcheri colonies are found growing on large barnacles or among the hydrorhiza of large thecate hydrozoans. Rhysia fletcheri occurs in relatively sheltered waters of the San Juan Islands and on the exposed rocky coast of southern Vancouver Island.

A New Species

Lampetra macrostoma n.sp., a freshwater parasitic lamprey, is distinguished from related species L. tridentata, L. lethophaga, L. folletti, L. minima, and L. similis by its parasitic habit and very large disc. Other characters distinguishing the species from L. tridentata are its longer prebranchial length, large eye, weakly pigmented velar tentacles, and its ability to remain in freshwater. The recently metamorphosed form readily survives in freshwater and probably is non-anadromous even though it can survive in salt water. The new species has been discovered in two lakes on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where it attacks large numbers of resident salmonids. Because of its ability to survive and feed in freshwater, it poses a definite threat to freshwater fishes.Key words: lamprey, new species, non-anadromous lamprey, salmonid parasitism

The identity of Tapinocyba minuta is clarified by examination of the type-series and the species is redescribed and illustrated. Tapinocyba prima new species, a distinct species previously confused with T. minuta, is also described and illustrated. Collection data, habitat and distribution are given for the two species. Tapinocyba prima new species has a widespread northern distribution with possible disjunct populations found at high elevations on the East Coast, while T. minuta has a more restricted distribution along a trans-continental boreal corridor.

A New Species

The genus Acanthistius Gill, 1862 comprises ten putative valid species occurring in shallow warm-temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere: South America (coasts of Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina) southern Africa (Namibia and South Africa), southern Australia, New Zealand, Lord Howe, Norfolk, Kermadec and Easter, and Sala y Gómez islands. Two species: Acanthistius sebastoides (Castelnau, 1861) and Acanthistius sp are known from shallow waters of the east coast of South Africa (Heemstra and Randall, 1986). The latter taxon, previously known from a brief description of a single specimen, is here described from 23 specimens and named Acanthistius joanae. Acanthistius sebastoides is redescribed from 13 specimens and compared with A. joanae and species of Acanthistius known from South America and Australia. A neotype is designated for Serranus sebastoides Castelnau, 1861, as the two syntypes are apparently lost.

A new porcellanid crab, Petrolisthes landsendi Garassino & Nyborg n. sp., from the Upper Cretaceous (upper Santonian) Nanaimo Group of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada) is herein described. Petrolisthes landsendi Garassino & Nyborg n. sp. represents the oldest species of Petrolisthes Stimpson, 1858 and is the first species from the northeastern Pacific, thus expanding the stratigraphical age and geographical range of the genus.

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.
