Two new species of deep-water xanthid crabs, Euryxanthops chiltoni, new species, and Medaeops serenei, new species, are described from the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand. This is the first time these genera are reported from New Zealand. Keys for the identification of all species of Euryxanthops and Medaeops are provided. The two new species bring the total number of species of xanthids from the Kermadec Is. to 17, and the known species of Euryxanthops and Medaeops to five and six respectively;. Although caught in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents, there is no evidence that these species are directly dependent upon the vent community.

Insight Into

Two new deep-water mysids from the subfamily Petalophthalminae (Crustacea: Mysida: Petalophthalmidae) are described from specimens collected from Challenger Plateau, Chatham Rise, and off the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. These new species raise the number of species of both genera to five. Petalophthalmus lobatus sp. nov. differs from its congeners by the structure of an elongated ventilation lobe on the seventh oostegites, laterally flattened eyes, and the armature of the telson. Ipirophthalmus crusulus sp. nov. can easily be distinguished by the rudimentary sixth to eighth thoracic endopods. Both species were found to be the prey of several fishes, including commercially caught species, providing insight into their ecology. An identification key to the subfamily is provided.

Examination and taxonomic review of the batfishes collected from New Zealand and adjacent waters reveals five nominal species: Halieutopsis bathyoreos and Malthopsis mitrigera are recorded from New Zealand for the first time; the synon-ymy of Halieutaea maoria with H. stellata is confirmed, and two new species are described. Malthopsis asparata sp. nov. is unique in having stout principal bucklers with prominent spines. Malthopsis parva sp. nov. differs from congeners in having a naked abdomen, a short rostral spine directed upward, and all principal bucklers blunt.

The taxonomic utility of various characters is discussed. The status of Hemiboeckella searli Sars is discussed, and the retention of the monotypic genus Hemiboeckella is considered to be justified. A list of generic characters is given for both Boeckella and Hemiboeckella, a key is given to the Australasian species of Boeckella and is accompanied by comparative drawings. Except for B. minuta Sars, this key does not enable female specimens to be identified. The number of Australasian species of Boeckella previously described is reduced from 25 to 14 by synonymy. Two new species, B. geniculata and B. montana, and a new subspecies, B. robusta maxima, are described. Another apparently new species is figured but not named (based on a single specimen only). Two species described from New Zealand are recorded from Australia for the first time. The male fifth legs of all species are described and, except for B. opaqua Fairbridge, all are figured. Additional features are also figured for some species. The distribution of species and some general aspects of their ecology are discussed.

This paper studies the taxonomy of the genus Xanthophius Motschulsky, 1860 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Staphylininae, Xantholinini). Two new species are described from China: Xanthophius unicidentatus sp. n. from Yunnan, Zhejiang, Guangxi and Hainan, and X. gutianshanensis sp. n. from Zhejiang. The number of species of Xanthophius therefore increased to eight. The elaborate structures of the everted endophallus of X. filum (Kraatz, 1859) is described for the first time and illustrated with a color plate. A key to eight species and their geographical distribution map are provided. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZ-CAS).

Based on intensive collecting from various sites in Sweden, the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer, 1911 was reviewed and the number of species now known from the country increased from five to twenty. Among the new species recorded there are two species described as new to science, D. dominiakae sp. nov. and D. gothlandica sp. nov., both in the subgenus Dicryptoscena Enderlein, 1936. The following subgenera are now documented from Sweden: Dasyhelea, Dicryptoscena, Pseudoculicoides Malloch, 1915, Prokempia Kieffer, 1913 and Sebessia Remm, 1979, the two latter subgenera being reported for the first time.

A New Species

Twenty-nine species in five genera of deep-water Galatheidae are reported from southern and eastern Australia increasing the known Australian galatheid fauna from 55 to 74. Species of Paramunida and Agononida are reported for the first time from southern Australia, with a new species of each described, P. antipodes and A. procera. Seven new species of Munida are described (M. aequalis, M. asprosoma, M. chydaea, M. endeavourae, M. isos, M. kapala, and M. spinicruris) increasing the number of known Australian species from 12 to 19. Four new species of Munidopsis are described (Ms. kensleyi, Ms. proales, Ms. tasmaniae, Ms. treis) and three species are newly recorded from Australia (Ms. centrina, Ms. dasypus, Ms. subsquamosa) increasing the known fauna from 11 to 18. Previous records of Ms. dasypus are based on Ms. kensleyi, but we include the first reliable record of M. dasypus from Australia. Previous records of Munida japonica from Australia are referable to M. rogeri Macpherson. Previous Australian records of Munida microps Alcock are referable to two new species, M. endeavourae and M. isos. Previous Australian records of Ms. dasypus are referable to Ms. kensleyi. Raymunida formosanus Lin, Chan & Chu is reported for the first time from Australia. Alcock s (1894) Munida squamosa var. prolixa is recognised as a distinct species of Agononida.

Examination of the Stoloteuthis maoria (Dell, 1959) type specimens held in the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa revealed that the two female paratypes were not conspecific with the S. maoria holotype male and belong to the genus Iridoteuthis Naef, 1912. Based on this finding, Stoloteuthis maoria is redescribed here to properly define the male and female characters. Its occurrence in Australian waters is formally recognised for the first time; the species was known previously only from New Zealand. The Iridoteuthis taxon was found to be new and is described as I. merlini, n. sp. Like S. maoria, this new species occurs in New Zealand and southern Australia. A second new Iridoteuthis from New Zealand was also discovered among the Te Papa collection and is described here as I. lophia, n. sp. The sucker pedicels in males of this latter species are highly and uniquely modified.

Varietal Name

New collections of New Zealand ancorinid sponges with sanidasters, regular and sanidaster-like microrhabds, andamphiaster-like microscleres, has prompted us to review the integrity of ancorinid genera Ancorina Schmidt, EcionemiaBowerbank, and Stryphnus Sollas (Demospongiae, Astrophorida, Ancorinidae). The varietal name in Ancorina progressa(von Lendenfeld 1907) var. diplococcus Dendy, 1924 has been elevated to full species status, and A. stalagmoides (Dendy,1924) has been redescribed. Two new species, A. bellae sp. nov., from the Three Kings Islands, and A. globosa sp. nov.,from Campbell Rise, have been described. Two New Zealand species previously assigned to Ancorina by Dendy (1924)have been transferred to Ecionemia: E. alata (Dendy 1924) and E. novaezelandiae (Dendy 1924). The genus Stryphnus isrecorded for the first time in New Zealand waters, and 6 new species are described here; S. poculum sp. nov., S. levis sp.nov., S. novaezealandiae sp. nov., S. spelunca sp. nov., and S. atypicus sp. nov. Specimens identified as Asteropus simplex(Carter 1879) by Dendy (1924) and Bergquist (1968), a genus without triaenes, have been transferred to Stryphnus and renamed as S. ariena sp. nov., as all specimens contained rare triaenes.

AbstractTwo new species ofAndracantha(Polymorphidae) are described from the intestine of the shagsLeucocarbo chalconotus(Gray) andPhalacrocorax punctatus(Sparrman), and the penguinEudyptula minor(Forster) from southern South Island, New Zealand.Andracantha leucocarboin. sp. is distinguished from its congeners by having no genital or ventral trunk spines, but possessing a scattering of small spines between the anterior fields of spines. This is the first record of a species ofAndracanthafrom a penguin. Circumbursal papillae are illustrated in a scanning electron micrograph for the first time in the polymorphids.Andracantha sigman. sp. is distinguished by the sigmoid shape of its largest proboscis hook, hook VIII, and having the ventral field separated from the posterior disc field by an aspinous gap. A Maximum Likelihood tree fromcox1 and large ribosomal subunit (LSU) data showsA. leucocarboin. sp. to be more closely related toA. gravidathanA. sigman. sp. and the genusAndracanthaas sister toCorynosomaspp. Genetic distances between species ofAndracanthaare comparatively large. A key to the species ofAndracanthais provided.
