A New Species

Psychrolutes sio, a new species of Psychrolutidae from off northernmost Chile, is described from two specimens trawled at about 770–1150 m. The holotype is deposited in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO 72-184). The only large specimen, the 22.9-cm holotype, differs most conspicuously from the other two species of the genus Psychrolutes in having the head and body color a uniform brown, skin thin, lateral line pores in small but distinct tubes, and jaws equal. Psychrolutes sio represents the first record of the genus Psychrolutes to be recognized from the Southern Hemisphere. However, future studies may indicate that other southern psychrolutids of the genera Neophrynichthys and Cottunculoides should also be assigned to Psychrolutes.

A New Species

The capitellid genus Leiocapitella is characterized by the possession of anterior 12–16 chaetigers exclusively with capillaries and the following 1–2 transitional chaetigers with notopodial capillaries and neuropodial hooded hooks. A new species was obtained from the continental shelf of the East China Sea, and is identified herein as Leiocapitella fujianensis. The new species differs from the other four described species by the number and location of transitional chaetigers, the dentition of abdominal hooks, and the methyl green stain on thorax. A key to all Leiocapitella species is provided in this paper.

Antennal Scale

AbstractA new species of Mysidacea, Pseudomysidetes japonicus, is described. The present new species is clearly distinguishable from the other two species of the genus, P. russelli W. M. Tattersall, 1951 and P. cochinensis Panampunnayil, 1977, in the size of the antennal scale, the number of subsegments in the carpopropodus of the 3rd-8th thoracopod endopods, the length of the penis, the shape of the telson, and the number of spines on the endopod of the uropod. P. japonicus represents the first record of this genus in Japan. On the basis of the rudimentary pleopods in both sexes and the length of the penis in the male, Pseudomysidetes is transferred from the tribe Leptomysini to the tribe Heteromysini. An update of the taxonomic key to genera and subgenera of the Heteromysini is suggested.
